[MOPO] Poster Artist Videos and Articles: Reynold Brown

[Philipp K]

I watched Mad DogsCollection wonderful video with his incredible collection and 
love of posters...It reminded me of one of the best documentaries of one of the 
greatest poster artists ever...Reynold 
Brown...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuvpcyCjRMk
There is also a very detailed article from Stephen Rebello "Selling Nightmares 
of Movie Poster Artists the 50s including of Reynold Browns life on one of the 
CineFantastique magazines (March 
1988)...https://stuartngbooks.com/cinefantastique-v18-2-3.html...Stephen also 
co-wrote the master book Mad Dog was referring to in his video...Golden Age of 
Film Postersand not to forget Dan Zimmers wonderful book about Reynold 
Brown...

Subject: Question: For A Few Dollar More Poster

Hello fellow Mopo's,

This is a question for any Clint Eastwood or Italian or International
collectors plus dealers. I would appreciate any input.

I just purchased the Italian For A Few Dollars More poster last Sunday.
I also own another copy I purchased last year. Both are considered
original release 1966. The recent purchase has no printer lettering and
the red type face coloring is different as well. see the pictures...the
purple/pinkish color is more a red color. Now the question is this from
the original release or later re-release? Very unusual because the
printer is missing and different colors.

Two different prominent long time Eastwood collectors have different
opinions. One is saying it is from a later 70s release and the other is
saying it is from the original release but later printing because of
its popularity.

Has anyone seen this poster before or any information on this? Please
feel free to copy and post my question to any poster forums.

Thanks very much.
Philipp

[MOPO] Hotel For Women Half Sheet

[Philipp K]

Hello Mopo,

I cannot believe that a Hotel For Women half sheet is still at $4 in 
Bruce Hershenson's auction. I believe the one sheet sold for over 
$2,750 at Heritage auction. Certainly it does need some work but I 
believe the half sheet is more rare than the one sheet. it certainly 
has the same artist and better imageSome incredible deals during 
this week half sheet and insert auction.

Re: [MOPO] My history of bad luck chasing an original Third Man (1949).

DavidI was the person winning the Third Man from Heritage in November 
2004...my good the times does go fastI paid the price thinking that I get a 
low price based on the original Third Man poster David was winning a year 
earlierNobody told me that Davids copy was a re-release postercertainly 
a bad day with Heritagereally bad considering everything...I would have 
never bid so high knowing that the poster is a re-release posterI believe 
that David and myself are on the same boatwe both love the film but got

Subject: [MOPO] My history of bad luck chasing an original Third Man (1949).


 
   

 
  
   

* After reading mostly dealer posts for five straight days, here are my 
observations for consumers.  Unless indicated, the following are OPINIONS, not 
facts.  They shed no additional information other than to provide my own 
history - then vs. now - about this title.  (Again, it's too bad Bruce 
Hershenson quit MOPO - as his views would have been invaluable as NO ONE has 
handled more movie paper - nor owns a titanic collection of press books from 
around the world than he.) 

1.  My opinion is Bidll's The Third Man is an international one-sheet of 
some kind - that was never intended for display in the U.K.  Anything else is 
possible, but that's where I fall if I were interested in buying it.  
Parenthetically, among the many points and markers debated as to first issue or 
re-issue and international vs domestic, I find it intriguing that the seller - 
who strikes me as being very conscientious - resides in New Zealand yet has 
little provenance information about how and where this apparently rolled poster 
was acquired as well as other details such as texture, etc.  This may not be 
empirically relevant to this poster compared to printed markers, but in my 
view, its geographic location and how it feels is circumstantially relevant 
to the debate of national vs. international, original or re-issue.

2.  As some know, I used to collect only COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN DOMESTIC ISSUE 
posters, a common practice among collectors of country-of-origin first edition 
books.  A country of origin The Third Man poster was once at the top of my 
list of wants.

3.  Today, if I stuck to my old narrow (minded) preferences, I'd only buy a 
first issue BQ of Third Man. While I love VINTAGE international one-sheets or 
daybills - for The Third Man, I won't.  To put it bluntly, I was burned by a 
major auction house (Heritage) - by its mis-representation of this title way 
back in 2003.  Heritage's actions were NOT intentional - and to be fair - I was 
frankly ignorant about what Helmut rightly says about the general rule - but 
NOT the law - that British one-sheets were predominantly targeted for 
international markets.  And for some hare-brained reason (at the time) - I 
thought the U.K. one-sheet format was common enough to be displayed 
sporadically domestically, though not favored compared to the more popular quad.

* On 20 November 2003, I bought a British RE-ISSUE one-sheet from 
Heritage to The Third Man for $1725 - that Heritage mis-represented as a 1949 
first U.K. issue.  The original 2003 description has not changed hence 
you can still see its mistake at the link below.  Note how there is no 
information about it being a reissue of any kind; Heritage simply declares it 
as original and labels its date to 1949:

http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=808lotNo=1119

Image 1 of 5 (Heritage, November 2003, $1725):



* I did NOT learn until one year later that Heritage misrepresented the 
poster I bought for $1725 as a 1949 original when it was in fact a 1950s 
re-issue.  Sure, I could have raised hell but did not, out of 
deference to my friendship with Grey - but just as important - I did not 
because of the intimidating legal wording in Heritage's terms and conditions 
about its responsibility for errors - which implied no returns accepted - or - 
at the very least, an unwritten statute of limitations to resolve disputes.

* One year later, in November 2004 - Heritage sold ANOTHER 
1950s re-issue - but this time, it correctly identified it as a re-issue, and 
it fetched for $1150.  This was the date of my discovery - that what I bought 
the year before - had been misrepresented by Heritage.  Frankly, Buyer Beware 
didn't enter my mind in 2003 with Heritage, even though it was new to the movie 
poster auction scene.

* I grumbled but didn't want to cause a scene because I like Grey.  
I kept the re-issue poster I bought in November 2003 for four years.    
  

* By March 2006, Heritage apparently got it right.  I say 
apparently because in recent days, there have been legitimate questions in 
the debate about originals vs. re-issues in recent days on MoPo.  The 
example below was represented as a genuine U.K. 1949 original

Subject: [MOPO] James Bond-50 Years Of Movie Posters Book

Tomorrow Is Global James Bond Day! To Celebrate 50 Years  Of James Bond!
 
I pre-ordered the Blu Ray 007 23 video  collection set from Amazon.com in 
January since it had a picture  months ago of this book James Bond-50 Years 
of Movie Posters as an Amazon  Exclusive. Then I later found out that the 
book Amazon was offering for FREE  as a bonus with the Blu Ray collection 
was abridged to something like  77 pages. Really a teaser. So I bought the 
complete book separate from  Amazon.com which is 350 pages. I ordered the 
video set separately too. Both had  free shipping.   
 
The hard cover book is very nicely published in the  United States by DK 
Publishing. The book comes in a very nice heavy cardboard  sleeve and the 
quality of the poster pages are printed on slick  paper stock and very nice. 
Plus there is an envelope on  the left inside top book cover for two 
commemorative poster  reproduction print outs. One from the Italian 39 x 55 
Dr. No 
and  the poster artwork from Octopussy The book is by production designer 
 Dennis Gassner.
 
I do wish that someone had proof read the book prior to  publication to 
check for errors. I have enjoyed Tony Nourmands book for  years. I think Tony 
would have been a good choice. Some of the posters are  pictured as original 
first release and it's very plain to see some are  re-releases. The 
Transamerica logo is the major give away on the early Sean  Connery 007 Bonds. 
During the early Sean Connery Bond films  era Transamerica did not own United 
Artists. There are other small errors  in descriptions too. 
 
But it is a very nice quality book. Very much worth the $27.00  from 
Amazon.com. The Blu Ray set is wonderful too and I was able to  purchase it for 
only $150.00 with free shipping.

A
 number of collectors have asked me privately why I have made no comment
 about the latest unfortunate developments in the poster hobby.

I
 have thought long and hard about this, and although I have strong 
feelings about the importance of honesty and integrity in our hobby, I 
have no personal knowledge about the facts of the case in question that 
might allow me to contribute anything of value to the discussion. Our 
hobby has weathered a serious counterfeiting problem over the past few 
years, and we will also come through these latest developments as well, 
whatever the facts may be.

Instead
 of commenting on situations that are beyond my control, I will 
concentrate on improving eMoviePoster.com in every way possible. My goal
 is to ensure that eMoviePoster.com continues to be a premier place to 
acquire vintage movie posters at auction with complete safety and 
confidence.

Dear Rick,
 I don’t normally answer postings about pending cases for reasons obvious to 
anyone outside ‘poster-land’ where you seemingly reside; but, unfortunately, 
reality has to creep into every venue once in awhile to remind its denizens 
that there are rules of civilized conduct and standards of honesty/integrity 
that apply – even to dealers and within this niche of collectables  .
 You wrote, “The topping on the cake seems to be that Mannheim was less than 
visibly concerned for 4 years until all these balls starting rolling 
simultaneously !!!   Am i missing something here??”
 The answer is:  YES you are missing a lot.  
 I have been a quiet collector of this genre since about 1970 when my first 
introduction was a solicitation to buy a distributor’s warehouse with 
approximately 300,000 posters for the then overwhelming price of $10,000 (about 
3-cents apiece).  Four of us, all college grads just getting started, couldn’t 
put that money together between us!   
 I have known Dave Bishop and Ken Schacter since about 1994-1995 and I traveled 
with Schacter to New York, London and other venues to buy posters.  After 
establishing what I thought was a friendship and business relationship, I made 
about $500,000 in loans to these partners in 2005; and, later another $750,000 
to Schacter, alone, in 2008-2009.  
 So, when my friend Bishop ran into trouble making repayments in 2007, I didn’t 
run to court – rather, I granted extension after extension until BOTH stopped 
paying on loans around July 2009.  Even then, I hadn’t discovered that my 2005 
loan money had been ill-used to buy ONE METROPOLIS POSTER instead of the 
promised large collection of sci-fi/horror material that was supposed to 
include rare 1930’s Universal items.  
 When I filed the first lawsuit to recover my 2005 loan from Bishop, I was not 
aware I had been a victim of a fraud.  That 2009 lawsuit was simply brought as 
a breach of his contract – the failure to repay a loan to me.  Around July 
2009, Schacter decided that my lawsuit against his buddy entitled him to also 
screw me out of my then $585,000 in outstanding loans.  Thus, in October 2009, 
when all this was first really coming down, I finally ran a Google search – 
Schacter + Poster – and was shocked to find some 150 articles about a November 
2005 purchase of the Metropolis poster – with my October 2005 loan funds.  It 
then became immediately evident why I had not been repaid on my loans to 
Bishop/Schacter.
 Since then, Schacter and his attorneys have pulled every dirty trick – 
equivalent to the resistance encountered by Ralph Nader when suing Chevrolet 
for the “unsafe at any speed” Corvair case 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsafe_at_Any_Speed) which case later became the 
subject of a similar movie:  “Class Action.”  Perhaps this simile will help you 
understand how [il]legal tactics of delay and concealment slow down justice.  
Nonetheless, these tactics will not stop the Federal freight train now bearing 
down on Bishop/Schacter.  
 Hopefully, with this additional information, you may now understand my 
situation and why things take so long.  The truth is difficult to discover and 
prove in a court of law when dealing with liars.

[Philipp K]

I agree...for most posters there has not been any appreciation or increase in 
prices for 15 to 20  years at least...don't buy for investment 
purpose...actually most of the posters have gone down because of the large 
increase of supply and demand has not increased for a lot.
The only people making money are the auction houses with their inflated fees. 
You can make more money keeping your money in the bank and getting no interest 
rate.

are at least 100 dealers with bulging inventories, many of who have 
all or most of their posters well illustrated on their sites.

There just aren't that many posters (other than the super-scarce 
ones that have ALWAYS been very hard to find) that one couldn't 
reasonably expect a good opportunity of acquiring over a few months 
or a year's time, and there are lots and lots of bargains all over 
the Internet, both at auctions and from dealers' sites.

And unlike the pre-Internet days, where you often had to buy off of 
a tiny black and white image (sometimes no image at all) you now can 
almost always see a giant image of the item you want to buy.

So I ask you, is this the best time ever to find and buy vintage 
movie posters?

Movie Posters on Parade

The California Heritage Museum in Santa Monica has explored the Golden 
State through exhibitions on skateboarding, ceramics, and the citrus 
industry. Starting May 23, the museum presents Gotta Dance: The Art of 
the Movie Poster. Mike Kaplan, who created campaigns for A Clockwork 
Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey, collected the vintage one-sheets that 
hail from the heyday of the studio system. The bold graphics were meant 
to be discarded after a week. Now you’re more likely to see them at 
auctions; a poster from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis is currently listed at 
$850,000.

that's not a realistic concept of life in any way, shape or form and our

life is full of wins AND losses of every shape  size and the lucky person who

He didn't get to any point other than whining about it, though there's the

Though in which case his present 100% positive feedback will get a stinking

Anyone know what ebay's position would be with this?

That's right I'm going to Cinevent so I can buy posters and if you have
material you want to sell, bring it there, or at least talk to me about it
there.

I'll have some extra time and if you're close by, maybe I can come to you
also.

If your collection or deal is sweet enough, I'll stay after the show 
change my plane ticket

I'm buying All Poster Sizes from 11x14  mini-window cards to Inserts, Half
Sheets, One Sheets, Three Sheets, 30x40 and larger as well as smaller sizes.
I'll buy one great poster, or I'll buy 10,000 posters if that's what you
have to sell.

Collector looking to sell out?? I want to buy your collection!

Dealer looking to trim down their stock?? I want to buy your overstock!

Or are you a Dealer looking to sell out once and for all and move on to the
better parts of your life?? I want to buy you out!

If you just have one cool sci-fi poster from the 1950s, 2 boxes of posters
you got in a collection that you don't want, or a back seat full of boxes..
bring them to me  I'll see if we can do a deal for them right there on the
spot. Call me first at 702-285-3554 from Noon to 9pm Pacific time

call me before the show  we'll discuss your material, or talk to me at the
show and if I need to change my plane ticker so I can go look at your stuff
 buy it from you, I will!!

I WANT TO BUY YOUR STUFF
I'm not looking to take your stuff as a consignment for you to wait until
your posters have been sold before you'll get your money.. I'll buy them
from you and you won't have to worry about which auction is best to sell. 

See me at Cinevent in the main room directly across the room from the
entrance doors - I'm on the opposite wall from the doors, a little to your

http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=695amp;lotNo=85729I have 
the correct facts on this and would swear my life on it.  The truth 
will eventually come out and be told to everyone.  It's just a matter 
of time.  People already know about it.
Prior to last year you co-owed (w/ Heritage) or owned the paperbacked 
Phantom of the Opera One Sheet poster above and set up the trade for 
consignment plan with Ken Schacter right around the March 2011 Heritage 
Signature auction (he consigned many, many posters to this auction but 
some included the French Horror of Dracula, Fantastic Voyage Teaser, 
Vertigo 30 X 40 amongst many, many others).  Many, Many other items 
were taken in by Heritage Auctions from Ken Schacter in exchange 
trading him “The Phantom of the Opera” One Sheet poster above. That is 
a cold hard fact. In that particular signature auction and others. 
Please do not try to deny this because last year you negotiated the 
plan for him to acquire “The Phantom of the Opera” poster above in 
exchange for consignments to Heritage Auctions (albeit Ken may have 
pestered you to the point and completely dragged you into this).  
The consignment deal for The Phantom of the Opera went through last 
year after taking many months time of Ken negotiating and speaking with 
you (Grey) over the phone.  The deal took months to complete but in 
then end, Ken got the “Phantom of the Opera” poster from you (I have 
pictures of the poster hanging on Ken’s wall taken last year on my 
computer).  After the deal went through you then personally flew out to 
Los Angeles and hand delivered The Phantom of the Opera paperbacked 
one sheet poster above to him.  I also heard the poster was actually 
sitting in a vault in Los Angeles (or the Heritage offices) waiting on 
Ken to complete the deal. It went through and he got the poster.  Again 
that is a bonafide cold hard fact (I have photos of Ken with the 
poster). 
Why you were there assisting the State of California and the trustee 
was EXTREMELY bizarre to say the least especially considering he 
consigned so much poster material through Heritage over the years.   
I guess this mutual relationship between you all explains why so many 
times over the years he’d sell through Heritage rather than sell 
directly to me even when I’d offer him 2X or 3X what a poster he was 
selling was worth.


I'm not saying by any means that Heritage or “sign on the dotted line” 
Grey Smith knew what was going on, but Grey Smith representing “the 
state of California and Robert C. Mannheim” presents itself as a MAJOR 
conflict of interest because he took “bad consignments” from Ken 
Schacter in exchange for “The Phantom of the Opera” which was not on 
the truck (amongst other things) when marshalls hauled Ken’s 
stolen“movie material” off last Wednesday.

 Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
 And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

 If you can make one heap of all your winnings
 And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
 And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
 And never breathe a word about your loss:
 If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
 To serve your turn long after they are gone,
 And so hold on when there is nothing in you
 Except the Will which says to them: Hold on!

 If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
 Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
 If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
 If all men count with you, but none too much:
 If you can fill the unforgiving minute
 With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
 Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
 And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

 Bruce, thank you clarifying.

 Yes - you would be responsible for paying to ship your items to
 MoviePosterExchange.com.  I believe this is standard in the industry.
 Do
 you reimburse people when they ship items to you?  Having never
 consigned
 anything to you I am unaware if you do this.

 Of course, using the figures you provided, even at the lowest end the
 numbers come out very favorable compared to your rates.
 For example you wrote: So this means that when we sold a $30 poster, we
 would pay MoviePosterExchange a $3 commission, PLUS the approximately
 $11
 shipping. So we would pay $14 to sell a $30 poster. It gets even worse
 the
 lower the price goes. On a $20 poster we would pay $13, and on a $10
 poster
 we would pay $12, for a net LOSS of $2 for every $10 poster we sold!

  The numbers you have given seem like a bargain compared to the
 consignor who sells a $30 poster on eMovieposter.com
 Where there they would pay a $12 commission and when you add in the
 approximately $11 shipping, they pay $23 to sell a $30 item on
 eMovieposter.com. I am sure it also gets worse as the price gets lower.

  The point being if you have a single $30 item to sell, there are
 probably better options than eMovieposter.com or
 MoviePosterExchange.com.

 And if you have a bunch of $30 items that you would like to dump (and
 don't mind if approximately half of them sell for $14 or less as you
 tell
 us every week), eMovieposter.com might be a good if not great option for
 you.
 MoviePosterExchange is probably not your best bet for this type of
 dumping, we understand and accept this.

 But, if you have higher quality items (either a single piece or a whole
 collection) and you have a fixed price in mind for them, there is not a
 seller that offers better terms than MoviePosterExchange.com

 Take for example an item like the Gimme Shelter one-sheet
 eMoviePoster.com is offering at a fixed price.  If

I agree Kirby is truly one of the most valuable players in the poster

Anyone who says that a poster is the only one in existence isn't 
thinking very hard.



Only known copy is fair.  Few known is fair.  Only copy in 
existence implies omniscience.



There are few known people in the movie poster hobby who are omniscient.

We have two Israeli Star Wars one sheets. I've seen claims saying the 
poster listed was the only one in existence. As we have two of these 
Israeli posters, and I think it was Carrie Fischer who put hers up on 
ebay a couple of years ago, that makes at least 3 others.

All four were sold at auction.  the first in London via Christies,

and one on the west coast and the last through Christies again in NY.
Wow.  With the four Adrian mentions above - and the two that Heritage 
sold - that's at least SIX COPIES of The Outlaw in the six-sheet 
format - once billed as having just one copy in existence.  I wouldn't 
be surprised if a seventh (7th) copy is waiting in the wings as 
potential rainy day money for the original consignors to collect in 
the future.  Even if I presume a couple copies may have since re-sold 
once or twice by their original buyers - we're still talking about a 
number greater than 1.  But really, the silliness over the only copy 
in existence is made worse by the assertion that an extra copy was 
purposely destroyed.  Hindsight being what it is - all of this 
could've been avoided if Christie's had simply said, this is the first 
time this poster has ever been been brought to auction.  Instead it 
opted to stick with its one-of-a-kind story - that only the hobby 
(vs. the general public) - now knows was an outright lie.  -d.

by the first consultant on these six sheets.

Thats all very interesting David
I had thought it would be highly unlikely that they would have been 
destroyed. I wonder when the next one might show up.

Hi John -

  * The extra Outlaw six-sheets were NEVER destroyed.  This has not 
been reported by the media - but it's ONLY because I was too lazy to 
pursue the issue further after relinquishing my role as a consumer 
activist/media relations liaison for the hobby.  The six-sheets were 
specific to the San Francisco area and linked to a billboard company in 
the 1940s, whose heirs brought them to auction.  Those heirs were 
Robert and Patricia League, the grandchildren who inherited the 
posters.  Given the tag lines on the posters, e.g., JANE RUSSELL IN 
PERSON and 1943's MOST EXCITING NEW SCREEN STAR - AND - their 
historical link to the Geary Theater in San Francisco - it is possible, 
though HIGHLY UNLIKELY - that the extra six-sheets originated 
elsewhere.  I'm saying they didn't.  


  * It has always been my contention that the extra copies were brought 
back to auction by intermediaries of - OR - by Robert and Patricia 
League themselves.  Christie's sale in London in March 2003 was made 
notorious by the release of their statement declaring that an extra 
copy was destroyed - in response to the very questions I raised 
publicly on the MoPo boards - AND by phone calls they received from 
reporters I contacted in London and in San Francisco.  Extra copies of 
this poster have surfaced at least twice at Heritage - (although others
