Mario Cueva has done a 24 Sheet recently, and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY. He can certainly linen-back 6 Sheets as he does them regularly, though he is not a framer.

Re: [MOPO] Question About Lost items
Greg & Todd & all Mopoers, FYI, regarding International Shipping, we at aaavintagemoveposters on Ebay use USPS Priority International shipping which has always worked great for us, BUT we have recently had two instances in the last month where shipped items show ZERO tracking info for well over two weeks. Shipping from SoCal and no movement whatsoever, not as if items were stopped at Customs at their country of destination, but no movement at all. Then suddenly the items show 'accepted at USPS' after 2-3 weeks and within a week are at their destination (in this case Canada & Paris). Tried contacting USPS but they could only open a case on the lost items. The good news was once contacted, the items began moving out of Los Angeles within a couple of days. Very odd, but have had great communication with understanding Buyers and all arrived albeit very late.

It's more expensive for the buyer but you're only responsible for shipping the item to a central location in Kentucky or somewhere like that. From that point on, you're not responsible for the item getting to it's destination. It sounds like you shipped this to the buyer directly, so unfortunately, you're responsible as far as I know. Hopefully, it will still show up. I've had buyers in Europe contact me asking to sell directly but every time I've removed the Global Shipping Program, it usually turns into a major headache, like what you're experiencing now. Do yourself a favor to save yourself a lot of grief. Next time you list on ebay, check that small box for their Global Shipping Program. Good luck my friend. Todd From: MoPo List on behalf of Greg Douglass Sent: Monday, April 4, 2016 7:02 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] Question About Lost items Hey guys, I have a situation where I shipped a buyer in France two 20 X 30" stills from RETURN OF THE JEDI on March 18. This guy is going out of his mind because they haven't arrived, despite the fact that I sent him a scan of the original receipt from the customs form with the tracking number, date, and amount paid. He somehow found that the items made it as far as Paris. Tracking numbers apparently do not work in France at this time, and I know that some items are taking a long time to reach their destinations due to security concerns in that country. (Although I sent an item to another buyer in France last week, which he received quickly and painlessly.) The USPS has no answers for me. Question: is there any kind of coverage for this kind of situation through either Paypal or Ebay? I think I'm sunk as far as the post office goes, but I'm hoping that some of the more experienced sellers on this group can give me ideas. I'm having trouble convincing this guy that I'm not part of some anti-France conspiracy with the US Postal Service. I'm starting to get an idea of how this guy's mind works, and I know he's going to file a complaint with Ebay, which is the last thing I want. Any ideas?

[MOPO] AUCTION TODAY @ 10AM: Autographed Movie Memorabilia, Contracts Photographs From Hollywood's Golden Age
Hello Fellow Mopo-ers and thanks! My name is Patrick Tupy and we may have had contact through Ebay as I sell movie posters for Steve Olson through his aaavintagemovieposters Ebay Store. I was entrusted with the sale of the impressive Hollywood memorabilia collection of the late Al Morely. Al had two stores in Hollywood for years, became close friends with many Hollywood stars from Ann Rutherford to Lana Turner but retired and packed up all his memorabilia into storage where it rested since the late 1980's. There are thousands of items, so due to the overwhelming nature of the collection I assigned Al's collection to Ira Larry Goldberg Auctioneers and the auction of these items begins today at 10am Pacific Time. There are some incredibly rare items ranging from gorgeous original Hurrell, Clarence Sinclair Bull portraits rare, stunningly beautiful vintage Carbro print photographs, to items signed by everyone from Chaplin, De Mille, Von Sternberg Griffith, Rudolph Valentino, Shirley Temple, Jean Harlow, Brando, Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, Clark Gable, Paul Newman, Mae West, William Powell Myrna Loy, John Wayne, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Frank Sinatra, Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, as well as a GONE WITH THE WIND lot, a WIZARD OF OZ lot, as well as hand-written correspondence from Audrey Hepburn and Olivia De Havilland Katharine Hepburn, and the list goes on and on. It's a veritable who's who of autographs, signed/inscribed photos contracts from the Golden Age of Hollywood There are some terrific deals to be had here whether for personal collecting or for resale as many of these lots have very low opening bids. If you have the time, please take a look at the lots 766 - 939 and more of Al's collection will be featured in future auctions as well.

Surely, Sue, he meant Beverly Hills and Arkansas.

Now Richard, I'd have to say that he's more of a 'practicing' AH rather than a 'complete' AH. It's not that I disagree with you, but after what I've witnessed, I believe he still has some potential to 'grow' into an even bigger version before he becomes 'complete.'

Re: [MOPO] KILL BILL 40x60????
Hey, CK, just so you know, I have several bus shelter posters for sale and while most are 4'x6' some are an inch or two smaller by width and length which I just realized is because they are British Bus Shelters (note they say In Cinemas November 18). While my U.S. FINDING NEMO Bus Shelters are true 4'x6' while the HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE Set of 4 are approx: 46x 68 (they are here: http://flickr.com/ photos/55172...@n00/ As for shipping, they roll great and you just need a long enough tube. 49-50 usually does it. The cost of shipping due to their weight is another issue entirely. Patrick On Jan 20, 2009, at 4:28 PM, CK MacLeod wrote: As I now look at the seller's other items, I'm thinking this one came from a package of (would-be?) commercial large format posters. It's not clear how they got they idea that they were subway posters. This KILL BILL is the only one I've noticed that even resembles a real movie poster. http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/ martinibroproductionsdotcomm#item120364875397 As a side note on the bus shelter speculation, US bus shelter posters are typically ca. 4'x6', not 40x60, and no one would confuse them with regular paper, even heavy stock. Shipping them or any 40x60 First Class, as this seller promises to do, would also be something of a trick. If for some reason I found myself seized with the desire to purchase one of these, I'd want to know what he really intends to do about shipping. I think that pretty much solves the mystery, such as it is. Thanks to all for the thoughts on the subject.

As you can see I have moderate ebay experience but since Katrina I have dropped off drastically in selling and buying on Ebay. Why??? One of the main reasons is that it is now really difficult to find things--- particularly since most is buried in the stores. It's just too much trouble to buy and waaa too much trouble and expensive to sell. To hell with 'em!

Re: [MOPO] When do YOU think was the moment when eBay jumped the shark?
Whenever they lost the balance between greed or desire for profit and practices which actually served their customers' needs. Lately it appears they're in desperation mode, trying to justify their dopey changes by further falling down the proverbial slippery slope with 'new and improved' stupid moves. Seems like Ebay is the new AOL (pronounce as you see fit). Patrick On Jan 14, 2009, at 11:14 AM, Richard Halegua Comic Art wrote: in 2002-03 when they went all out with their TV blitz advertising for the holiday season at that time, the term ebay was being introduced as an internet lexicon because of the phenomenon of it's huge growth. But just like the dot-com bust, what the marketing later had trouble with was not understanding that just because the internet grew 1000% in just a few short years, did not mean and could not mean (by simple mathematics) that it could continue such an expansion. To be more direct on that issue: in 1992 less than 5% of the US households had computers. By 2002 close to 75% of all US households had computers. What the equation didn't take into account was that the remaining 25% were either too poor to own a computer, too old to be interested in a computer or just not interested in a computer and so growth for the future was therefore severely limited, so the belief that the internet ebay would continue to grow was a fallacy as by 2003, they had almost reached the epoch of membership which has since 2005 fallen off in direct relation to non- participation by millions of buyers since that point, fleabay has deteriorated steadily Rich At 10:54 AM 1/14/2009, Bruce Hershenson wrote: I think almost all of us can agree that eBay has clearly jumped the shark*.

Of course, there is no one right answer, but I have my own opinion, which I will gladly share once some of you voice your opinions. When do YOU think was the moment when eBay jumped the shark? Bruce *N.B. According to Wikipedia, the phrase jump the shark refers to a scene in a three-part episode of the American TV series, Happy Days, first broadcast on September 20, 1977 . In the third of the three parts of the Hollywood episode, Fonzie ( Henry Winkler), wearing swim trunks and his trademark leather jacket, jumps over a penned-in shark while water skiing. Even before jumping the shark was employed as a pop culture term, the episode in question was cited many times as an example of what can happen to otherwise high-quality shows when they stay on the air too long in the face of waning interest—or when they simply cease to maintain quality standards for writing or acting, resorting to cheap sensationalism etc. The infamous scene was seen by many as betraying Happy Days' 1950s setting (as well as reversing its earlier character-developments, as noted above) by cashing in on the 1970s fads of Evel Knievel [1] and Jaws. Producer Garry Marshall later admitted that he knew the show had lost something as the crew prepared to shoot the scene. As Marshall pointed out in the reunion special that aired on February 3, 2005 , however, Happy Days went on to produce approximately 100 more episodes after the jumping the shark episode. During the same special, in response to an audience member's question, Marshall introduced the notorious clip and noted how the show had inspired the term. The first public use [2] of the phrase as a direct metaphor is reported to have been on December 24, 1997 , when the jumptheshark.com website was launched by Jonathan M. Hein. According to the site, the phrase was first coined by Hein's college roommate, Sean J. Connolly, in 1985. The term first appeared in print in the April 9, 1998 , Los Angeles Times Calendar Weekend section. The phrase has been used more recently outside the realm of popular culture, representing anything that has reached its peak and has declined in quality.

Re: [MOPO] When do YOU think was the moment when eBay jumped the shark?
Wait, you guys convinced me, Ebay's THE BEST! I won't ever say anything bad about the E(mperor)bay because of all the good things Ebay has done for me. Give me a break and REREAD THE QUESTION. Look, Ebay does many things well but Bruce's point is not a bad one. There is risk of overshooting in all business enterprises and clearly many of the reasons Ebay has declined in my experience have been self-inflicted policy changes. What was the tipping point? If you're not interested, methinks you don't need to read these responses or respond to every question if you think the landscape has been played out. And btw, if Ebay's so integral to the hobby, what's wrong with pointing out how and where it could improve? But to have participated in said 'bashing' at any point and then to judge those voicing their opinions in response to a valid question is hypocritical at best. Not to throw stones, but many of you appear to be installing a wooden door on your glass house. The question was not, let's chat about what Ebay does well and overlook their flair for poor 'advances' on their site. I am in agreement that there are many good things about Ebay, I wouldn't be anywhere near the hobby without Ebay, and I've made many friends through my collecting in the hobby BUT, that was not the question at hand. In fact, any issues I have aremerely because I lament the passing of the Ebay that used to be and what could have been so much better.

No, Rich, I just figured it out, there's actually lots of extra room since many of the posters are smaller than 27x40!

Re: [MOPO] Fwd: your site and prices (response from Posterbob)

Re: [MOPO] To The Lumis and Claudes and Other Mopoers With Peeves
I just overlook those things if I like/want the poster. Unless it's Freeman's description, then I read it for the humor and creative composition. Every Seller has their own 'take' on what sells best, ultimately it's finding the right buyer and I don't think any of you would pass on a great poster or deal on a decent poster regardless of the fashion by which the Seller thought best to get you into his 'showroom.' You all just scan them for condition and look at the pics anyway, so it's really their waste of time. I'm currently sitting in the sunny patio of my fave coffeehouse in Laguna Beach having an iced cappuccino and doing some writing. It's about 75 degrees with a really nice warm breeze and the Pacific is reflecting the sun like blue steel. Catalina Island is 26 miles away, but looks more like 2 miles as it's so clear.

Re: [MOPO] Needing Linen Backing -- Posters in abysmal condition
Orr, cut your losses by putting them up for sale, 'as is' and recoup some of your investment from someone else who might want to invest in the restoration. That's right, it's a 'lose/lose' proposition since you'll be upside down on the poster if you have it restored so you'll lose some $$ that way, or you'll likely lose $$ selling the poster as is.

Re: [MOPO] Original DRACULA Poster or worthless Portal Repro?
Hey, John, I agree that AT LEAST she posted the comments. However, she sent me an email telling me how she was handling it and my response was to question why she would not simply cancel the auction and contact all bidders. Then go forward with her new intelligence and list the poster properly as a reproduction. Posting the comments was a start but anyone who had bid prior to her posting 'Notes' etc. might not bother scrolling down the page. It is my belief that she was finally contacted by Ebay since several of us reported the error in her listing and complained that she knew it was a reproduction but continued with the auction title ORIGINAL DRACULA MOVIE POSTER, when she knew is wasn't a 1931 original. I hate to sound so cynical but it certainly was convenient that the 'Portal Press' was torn precisely away from the bottom border but the 1931 still remained.

Okay, so now she has a note in red at the bottom of her pics of the Portal Dracula now stating NOTE;There has been quite a few Emails regarding this posters origins.We found this Poster in a back room of a 20s era Movie Theater when We were in there searching for the theaters audio equiptment and speakers.We showed large,clear images so You can decide for Yourself.We also accidently used the auction template from the previous auction which says No Reserve The reserve is 299.50.Thanks,Sharon Of course, she has also been informed of the poster's pedigree which she is 'conveniently' not disclosing. So I am now going to let her know that as the poster IS a reprint and NOT 'ORIGINAL 1931' as stated in the first word of her auction title, if she doesn't stop and relist the auction I am going to notify Ebay. I think Rick's approach was the right one inasmuch as he gave her enough rope to save or hang herself. She is clearly choosing the latter so I can't see how it's ethical not to attempt to stop her from actively harming a potential collector who is about to get burned.

Re: [MOPO] WAY OT: What drove Bernie Madoff
Bruce, I agree with you about bonuses but also about HOW hey spend the bailout money should be regulated. Banks that didn't need the bailout are getting hundreds of millions and they aren't using it to free up credit practices. Wall Street companies are giving bonuses and paying dividends to Stockholders which means the Americans who just lost their job will be payingoff those investors' dividends making it tougher to send their kids to college, etc. This is a bunch of b.s. and these guys are crooks in suits. I don't care what 'party' you're for, unless we regulate this tax bailout, the 'party' is over for the middle class and a Feudal system of Lords and Serfs and no middle class will be ushered in quickly. And if History serves, revolution follows. We have targeted tax breaks all throughout our system in order to stimulate and encourage development of necessary resources for the good of our country. And we regulate so much that it actually has become starkly obvious that there's something amiss about the push to enact this handout before it could be 'conditioned' and Paulson has no business in his position unless we want a puppet to distribute as this administration sees fit. This was at it's heart, a money grab, this administration has never been truly a Republican conservative administration but it has had a cynical cronyism which has had nothing to do with what's best for our bottom line. At least we've seen fit to mandatorily 'fire' our President automatically after 2 terms, now it appears as if there needs to be term limits at these Wall Street Companies and Detroit as well. So I don't care that there were no strings attached to the first 'infusion' of the bailout. It's not like these companies have a lot of options so I say fire the bums who got them into this with poor business practices, we can change the 'deal' at any time because it's OUR ball and we can leave the playground at any time we like and not bail out any of them. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO REGULATE! If, as the saying goes, 'What's best for business is best for America' then just how's that workin' out for us? Happy New Year! Patrick ps: as for your 'best and brightest' comment, I suppose you were being sarcastic as no one has ever accused Bush or his folks of being either, much less both. On Dec 27, 2008, at 10:05 AM, Bruce Hershenson wrote: Remember when all our best and brightest politicians were screaming for the Social Security money to be invested in the stock market so that our retirees could enjoy those sensational returns Wall Street investors were receiving? Funny how no one is recommending that anymore. The funny part is that it isn't a bad idea right NOW (with the market at the levels it is at). They could set up a government fund called Social Security Investments and buy chunks of the down and out giant companies that have been dragged down by the credit crisis (like GE, GM, etc) and negotiate insanely good deals (like the ones Warren Buffet always demands and gets) and then they should leave those investments alone, and never sell them. Sure, some would work out poorly, but overall, they would do quite well, as long as our country eventually gets out of this mess. I see this as a win/win, because the companies would get much needed cash infusions, and our future retirees would have tangible investments instead of an IOU from the government. Incidentally, all government bailouts should come with the proviso that no bonuses be paid to executives until and unless the loans are repaid in full. If the current execs don't like that, they should leave, and be replaced (and it is hard to believe their replacements could do a worse job than they did).

Bonuses should be earned like anything else. Bonuses should be payed BY THOSE who benefit from the superior work produced as you suggested, Sue. HOWEVER! The bailout is being payed by ALL OF US, not just by the stockholders so ZEEERO dollars should go to paying ANY bonuses.

Re: [MOPO] WAY OT: What drove Bernie Madoff
Happy Holidays, Bruce, I totally agree with you. Bernie Madoff's 'tragedy' is no more a 'tragedy' than what we all could possibly be if we didn't wrestle with our own demons so as not to visit them upon others. Underneath it all here is a guy with a lot of potential and clearly appearing trustworthy but ultimately there is something broken inside him. And now he has broken so many others for he apparently could not break the cycle by taking responsibility for his own personal shortcomings. So what if he was such a nice guy and smart? There are plenty of people with decent morals and loads of potential in prison right now if only they could reign in their impulses and yes, I suppose those stories are tragic on some level. To revere Madoff due to the breadth of his crime is absurd. End of the day, he is at the top of a 'pyramid' of his own making; that of crook, swindler, and perhaps comparable to a serial killer, only he used trust as his ultimate weapon to destroy the lives of so many out of his personal desperation to succeed or be in control or win or prove that he was good enough, smart enough and gosh darnit people should really like him, or whatthefu*k does it matter? I suppose there is a tragic component to all our lives but on balance does it define us? Would we be better off, would the world be better off had we not been here at all? Which brings us to your seasonal proposition of casting Bernie Madoff in the George Bailey role. On balance we're looking at a different ending. If you've got money, fine, but I'll stick to being a 'King' in my counting house, counting out my blessings, Patrick On Dec 26, 2008, at 8:19 AM, Bruce Hershenson wrote: I looked at the cnn site just now and they have an article entitled, What drove Bernie Madoff.

Re: [MOPO] what do YOU think is the reason there are far more men than women in this hobby?

After all, I see nothing at all gender based in this hobby, unlike say baseball cards, where all the players are men. There are certainly a lot of movies that appeal more to women than men, and I would think a high percentage of movies are completely gender neutral (appeal equally to men and women).

Re: [MOPO] OT: YOUR opinion of the best on-screen romantic pairing ever in one movie?
Hmmm, ROMEO AND JULIET (Zefferelli's w/Whiting Hussey), TWILIGHT and ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD? Only half-joking with TWILIGHT since the stars do have great chemistry if nothing else. I always liked Zefferelli's R J (though Baz Luhrman's MOULIN ROUGE has a decent romantic pairing).

Re: [MOPO] Trial for Mary Pickford's Oscar started today
Rich, my two cents... Shatner RULES! I think he's brilliant in his own way. I always thought of 'hacks' as those who were unaccomplished due to lack of talent. Now some fail forward in Hollywood as in any business regardless of their lacking talent, but whether you like Shatner or not, I'd use a more specific adjective to describe him; H-A-M. But he does have talent and is particularly good in many roles. But a ham unchecked is pathetic and unwatchable, while Shatner is supremely watchable as he 'gets' the joke and milks it.

Holy Ghost of The Golden Years! I thought Channing was just kidding. And I don't think Fairbanks and Pickford are comparable to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Fairbanks and Pickford were bigger than Brangelina. In sports it would be like comparing Tony Romo to Joe Namath, or Kevin Garnett to Wilt Chamberlain...the comparisons just don't work when you are speaking of those who set a historically high standard others benefitted from as they paved the way with trailblazing boldness. Dougary (it's trademarked so don't even think about it) was the wedding of the King and Queen of the silver screen. They were royalty during their days, any effort to sully them says more about us than it does them.

Re: [MOPO] Could this replace collecting actual movie posters?
Zeev, Both points taken, it might or might not hurt the hobby. As for me, I was after 1 Sheets like Glenn. LC's were a find after I was collecting 1Sheets so I don't think it's a black and white issue. The advent of digital displays may dilute the new collectors but the scarcity may make posters and LC's more valuable. Who knows for sure what's on the horizon? I'll still collect and I've turned on others who see my posters and LC's so maybe it will be through word of mouth and if the prices eventually go up due to supply and demand, perhaps collecting will benefit as other artwork has. Hope all had a great T-Giving!

As for LCs vs OS, its highly personal a choice, and I don't want to get into this discussion. Suffice it to say that in movie memorabilia shows, LCs outnumber larger posters, if for no other reason than ease of transport and display. But back to my original point, I think that the elimination of lobby cards from the advertizing repertoire, have hurt the hobby in two ways: First, you can't expect new collectors to enter the hobby, and collect something thay don't know exists. And second, young people who like the young stars, simply can't get them on lobby cards. Try and collect John Torturro, Coen Brothers, or Tarantino on LCs...

That would signify the end of larger size posters for sure. However, I can definitely see their use in movie theatres for one sheets. It may be just a matter of time before someone says no more paper use this instead. My question to you, were lobby cards really a jumping off point for collectors? I was young enough to collect lobby cards but all I ever wanted were the one sheets I saw. Lobby cards never entered into my collecting vision until much, much later.

Re: [MOPO] Could this replace collecting actual movie posters?
No but those Italians sure like to put their stamps on posters! What's that about?

I think some of this goes back to the discussion on silent half sheets going on last week. Certain stars and titles will always be collectible. Things that are hot will find it's cooling temperature amid a small but devoted fallowing. The average 80 - 90 year old movie posters in mint condition is still affordable. Same for lobby cards. For example, how many people on this list still get excited over Wallace Reid or Viola Dana material? It would be interesting to hear from dealers what silent star is still highly sought after. I'm not talking about Chaney or Chaplin but people who were huge stars in the teens and twenties and are not icons today. Either way, if there's nothing to collect past say, 2010, in the way of one sheets, what direction does the hobby go?

Zeev, Both points taken, it might or might not hurt the hobby. As for me, I was after 1 Sheets like Glenn. LC's were a find after I was collecting 1Sheets so I don't think it's a black and white issue. The advent of digital displays may dilute the new collectors but the scarcity may make posters and LC's more valuable. Who knows for sure what's on the horizon? I'll still collect and I've turned on others who see my posters and LC's so maybe it will be through word of mouth and if the prices eventually go up due to supply and demand, perhaps collecting will benefit as other artwork has. Hope all had a great T-Giving!

As for LCs vs OS, its highly personal a choice, and I don't want to get into this discussion. Suffice it to say that in movie memorabilia shows, LCs outnumber larger posters, if for no other reason than ease of transport and display. But back to my original point, I think that the elimination of lobby cards from the advertizing repertoire, have hurt the hobby in two ways: First, you can't expect new collectors to enter the hobby, and collect something thay don't know exists. And second, young people who like the young stars, simply can't get them on lobby cards. Try and collect John Torturro, Coen Brothers, or Tarantino on LCs... Collecting posters requires the space that most young people do not have!

Zeev - Around Los Angeles there have been these huge screen billboards where the picture changes every few seconds. The public HATES them. And I believe there is a moratorium on them. That would signify the end of larger size posters for sure. However, I can definitely see their use in movie theatres for one sheets. It may be just a matter of time before someone says no more paper use this instead. My question to you, were lobby cards really a jumping off point for collectors? I was young enough to collect lobby cards but all I ever wanted were the one sheets I saw. Lobby cards never entered into my collecting vision until much, much later.

If they stop producing posters, I think collecting will definitely be affected. I think one of the reasons that there are few new collectors coming into this hobby, is that Lobby Cards have stopped being produced(with some exceptions) and displayed in theaters, since 1985.

The paper is about the same on both (the reprint has completely different paper). The print quality is about the same on both (very high quality - the reprint has inferior printing).

Re: [MOPO] Head's Up - POSTERFIX ALERT
Well played, Sue. You have always been fair and fair-minded to both sides and Chris Cloutier's transgressions are clearly egregious enough to warrant removing his link from your page. I know you are not someone who would support such poor behavior nor would you deserve any guilt by association. Thanks to Andrea, et al for their 'Head's Up' on this hack human.

Re: [MOPO] Head's Up - POSTERFIX ALERT
Exactly, Dave The fact is, as I said to Sue privately, this is a very fragile hobby literally and figuratively, and if you tolerate the kind of abuse Cloutier or Joe Hernandez practiced, then you are tacitly supporting it.Louie's confidence in Chris Cloutier notwithstanding, late or shoddy work defended by abusive and rude comments are no way to run a business and I, for one, would not want to support and encourage such practices. If he feels he can justify his comments and offer up any defense of his abusive correspondence with a customer (!!!), then I am all ears. Until then, I trust the growing group who have noted a tradition of shoddy work and service and are speaking out about what appears to be a trademark noir for Posterfix. I'll stick with Sylvia @ Precision Restoration. Everything I've EVER given her is returned within 3 weeks and she has always done terrific work.

Re: [MOPO] Head's Up - POSTERFIX ALERT
Now this is valuable info. I had considered but never used this guy only because I did one thing semi-intelligent in my life and deferred my poster restoration jobs to those who knew more (Sue Heim and Freeman Fisher) and thus I was never steered wrong in their restoration and linenbacking recommendations. Not everyone has or will be so lucky. So thank you, Andrea, Bruce and Richard for doing us all a serious service by revealing that this 'restorer' not only has 'no clothes' but has no class.

Re: [MOPO] Mopo- Posters - enconomy- Polotics- Future _ perspective
My Philiosophy, since no one asked: When given the choice, too many people try to be 'right' and 'win' when it's actually better to simply try to be 'smart.' You tend to win and are right more often when you don't try to win or be right, but strive to be smart. Therefore, I must conclude that while I find that I more often agree with FRANKENSTEIN, now and then I must admit that THE MUMMY is actually better for some issues. Beware charismatic leaders. Just the same, beware those who lack charisma. As for who is 'right' or who's going to 'win,' I don't care who you're for, demand more. Yes, I just quoted myself.

A good example of this for me is The Princess Bride or Cool Hand Luke, but there are lots of others.

Re: [MOPO] Paul Newman Dead
Great Newman story, as told by the man, himself, on Inside The Actor's Studio: Speaking of acting with Orson Welles in THE LONG, HOT, SUMMER, Newman chuckled and said, (paraphrasing here) Poor Orson, he came from the theater and he looked around the set and all he saw was us method actors and we're taking a long time (gestures intense concentration, etc.) struggling and trying to get into our characters. Finally, Orson says, Jesus Christ, I feel like I'm riding a tricycle in molasses! And as an aside, Inside The Actor's Studio is a show hosted by an egomaniac punk named James Lipton who doesn't have the good sense to interview some of the founding members of actual The Actor's Studio such as Academy Award Nominee Kevin McCarthy (DEATH OF A SALESMAN 1951 (!) who is soon turning 95 in February, is still sharp and would make a GREAT interview on the show. Nah, instead, as Kevin says, in a very Newmanesque way, Let me tell you about that guy, I know him, my daughter went to that school...he's a star fucker! But rest assured, Lipton will go out of his way to have those scions of the acting craft such as Teri Hatcher, Ray Romano and Adam Sandler on for their striking insights into acting. I'll shut up now.

I had heard that she hasn't been doing well, but the video was really shocking--she looked so frail, confined to a wheel-chair. One of the reporters made the comment that this could very likely be her last public appearance. I began thinking about one of my favorite Taylor films, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and how absolutely stunning she and Paul Newman looked in that film--both being at their peak in physical beauty. A real sadness came over me...cursing the ravages of time, if you'll pardon the cliché. Now I wake up on a Saturday morning and see that Paul Newman is gone.

Re: [MOPO] Who Is Your Linen Backer Of Choice?
Hi, Mike, I've used several linenbackers and I am completely happy with Sylvia Locken from Precision Restoration. Sue Heim can give you her contact information and I often leave items with Sue as Sylvia will come by to pick up items from Sue and return them every few weeks. That way I can have Sue frame the backed and possibly restored item when Sylvia returns with the final product to Sue. She is especially well-known for her work on Lobby Cards, Half-Sheets and Inserts. Her linenbacking is first rate and the quality of her paper-backing is unsurpassed. I recently had Sylvia paperback a 40x60 of BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE that needed some TLC. It now looks stunningly gorgeous. Contact me if you'd like to see before and after pics. Mike, I am sure all who have been mentioned do superior work, but of those mentioned, I have only had experience and am completely happy with Sylvia's work.

Re: [MOPO] new eBay mandatory $4.00 max on shipping????
Sue, I don't think that Ebay is truly attempting to show buyers that Ebay is a satisfying purchasing venue. Instead they would LOVE it if Sellers increase their item prices to cover S/H. I believe that Ebay knows and wants Sellers to be adding the difference in shipping and materials costs to the price of the item as it positively affects their bottom line. It may seem like small change, but it is a way for Ebay to gain more in listing and final value fees which they could not get as shipping costs are added separate to the money's paid for the item and thus those added S/H dollars have not been within their grasps. But if they make a 'standard' shipping cost and make it appear to be fair in a 'one size fits all' approach, the end result is Seller's add $5 or $30 to an expensive insured or overseas item and that $5-$30 added to the item instead of to S/H is adding money in Ebay's pocket as Sellers increase the costs of their items which equates to Sellers (once again) paying more in fees to Ebay for what was once S/H fee which they couldn't grab. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this certainly seems like a 'found money' situation and an end resulting profit for Ebay. Patrick On Sep 5, 2008, at 8:20 AM, Susan Heim wrote: I am hoping there will be enough of an uproar over this that Ebay will have to alter their thinking. I got the same alert message for the album cover frames I ship. Ebay had instructed me a year or so ago that my album cover frames could be listed in the Music category under accessories and that is how I have been listing them. My alert message is that the maximum shipping for that category will be $5 beginning in October. There is no way I can ship a custom made album cover frame for $5. The custom box and shipping materials cost me about $3 just by themself before I even ship it, not to mention that I ship fully insured at my expense. I keep getting the shipping message on my larger frames also. I ship a full size movie poster frame to anywhere in the country for $14.95. It costs me considerably more than that, so I am already absorbing part of that shipping charge. There is no way it can go any lower on a single frame and we ship for free on multipacks. In their attempt to show buyers they are doing everything to make Ebay a satisfying purchasing venue, they are forgetting about who pays the bills. Sellers need to be taken care of also. That is evidenced by the number of sellers, many major sellers, that have left Ebay. I have spoken to several sellers who have said they will add the difference in the actual cost of shipping from the maximum amount Ebay is allowing to the price of their item.

Re: [MOPO] Is Ebay using the GOP Presidential race and Sarah Palin to promote itself?
Franc, Methinks it's the other way around. The GOP is the brand here. Ebay is, for better or worse, still seen by the majority of the public as a highly successful business venture with no legitimate competitors as an internet auction site. The GOP, not Ebay, is thus promoting itself by associating it's brand with a successful public venture and having been endorsed by the former CEO is the tacit connection. As I see it, this is an effort by the GOP to attribute to itself success by association. Of course, if perception is reality, that's fine if you're a buyer of an item on Ebay or of rhetoric in an election. Otherwise, as we've seen on Ebay lately, and in elections throughout time, the truth is the devil in the details... Patrick On Sep 5, 2008, at 6:50 AM, Franc wrote: This is so weird, I just have to ask the question: Is Ebay so desperate that it is trying to promote itself through the GOP Presidential race? No doubt everyone knows by now that former CEO Meg Whitman was previously an advisor to Mitt Romney's failed presidential campaign and is now one of John McCain's chief advisors being one of the several people he indicated he most admired and sought professional advice from. Well, Sarah Palin has mentioned several times now in her stump speech in which she lists all her accomplishments as Governor of Alaska that he successfully auctioned off on Ebay the luxury Alaskan state jet bought by the previous government for use by her office. Turns out that's not true. After going unsold for months, the jet was put in the hands of Turbo North Aviation, an Anchorage aircraft broker, which put an asking price of $2.45 million on the nearly $2.7 million jet. It was ultimately sold privately to an Alaskan business man for $2.1 million, $31,000 of which went to Turbo Aviation as a sales commission. Why is Sarah Palin lying about an Ebay connection? It doesn't diminish whatever accomplishment she achieved in selling an Alaskan state jet but it strangely propels Ebay into the headlines and promotes it as an effective selling tool in the public's eyes. I find this very puzzling. Does anybody else?

Sue, The better news is that I'm bringing you in some new business tomorrow!

Re: [MOPO] Fwd: [MOPO] Meg Whitman -- Founder of EBAY. . .
Everyone knows it was Thomas Edison invented Ebay. NOT, Phil! As he often did, 'Ol Tommy Edison stole the Ebay concept from Nikola Tesla's remarkably flawless Ebay Coil which would eventually be corrupted by Edison's lesser ideas of Direct Buying as opposed to Tesla's superior Alternating bidding concept. Eventually, like all that was taken and 'dumbed down' from Tesla, the thoughts of how 'electric' Tesla's Ebay could have been would be lamented for generations to come...
