Re: [MOPO] KERRY HAGGARD WAS SENTENCED TODAY!
funny Rudy I remember when Murdoch took over the Chicago Sun-Times, Editor Mike Royko held a press conference. on a table in front of him was a newspaper a fish. Royko said No self-respecting fish would be wrapped in a Rupert Murdoch newspaper. it was very funny then and is still true today At 08:40 AM 4/10/2012, rudy franchi wrote: It's a sad day when we have to rely on a trash tabloid like the NY Post to make official a news story that has already appeared in other media. What makes it official is the court transcript. Actually, the story's appearance in Rupert ( The Hacker ) Murdoch's puppet paper now makes me doubt the trial ever happened. rudy On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 11:30 AM, walter reuben wal...@walterfilm.com wrote: The New York Post article makes official, in print, what we all have been posting about. Mr. Haggard did a great deal of harm to our hobby and took ruthless advantage of many people who trusted him. Our hobby has gradually recovered from his evil doing. And I am very happy that our legal system has sent a clear message that this kind of conduct will not be tolerated. He has still refused to make things right, and it is known that various rare posters, which he acquired from victims through fraudulent trades, are hidden somewhere. He, undoubtedly, hopes to eventually reap great profits by selling them, when he eventually gets out of jail. However, the government (and, yes, Jim, FBI Agent Mike has done an awesome job) continues to pursue these stolen pieces. And there is certainly hope of their eventual recovery.

After three long years I am happy to say that Kerry Haggard was sentenced. The Judge threw the book at him, giving him the maximum sentence possible of 78 months in Federal Prison. She would have given him more time, but then it might have opened the door for an appeal. 78 months is the maximum with no appeal opportunity. She obviously didnt like Haggard and lectured him for about 20 minutes. He requested a transfer to the Atlanta Federal prison. She refused to let him transfer to a Federal prison closer to his home in Atlanta. As a matter of fact, she also gave him three years probation after that, requiring it to be held in New York also. Which means, he will have to live in that area. He cant go to Georgia to do his time or his probation. In terms of restitution, she sentenced him to $1.377 million to be reimbursed to the hobby. Unfortunately, they cant make him give posters back. They can hold his feet to the fire, but can't actually make him give them back. The good news is that Agent Mike Mullahy has found at least $300,000 in good posters. (They also confiscated many other fakes.) The Judge order that all funds raised from the sale of these posters go to the victims, not the Government. Each victim was listed in the sentencing, with the amount due to them for reimbursement. It was also implied that there may be more charges coming. I am not certain of this, but it sounds like there are more potential legal actions in Haggard's future. I can't convey how much disdain the judge had for Haggard. There are some real positives from today. First of all, the judge was greatly influenced by the letters that everyone sent to her. She said she had never received so many letters in a case, ever! Thank you to each person who wrote a letter. Also a thank you to Robert Ragovin and Glenn Damato who spoke in court along with myself. Ralph De Luca was also there lending support. I want to send a special thanks to Sean Linkenback. He knows why, and thats all I will say about that. Our hobby owes a special thanks to the FBI. Specifically Agent Mike Mullahy. He did a fantastic job. He talked to me day night. I remember one time he contacted me at 10:30 on a Sunday evening. He went over and above. Another positive is the fact that our legal system does in fact work! My only regret is that Haggard is still lying and still trying to hold the posters for his own gain. But, the game is far from over. Overall today was a wonderful day for our hobby. I personally thank God for what he did today.

It's a shame that Jaime Mendez, the restorer who made all of this possible and who didn't raise the alarm when these fakes started appearing in the marketplace, didn't face charges himself. As for Haggard, I urge MOPOers not to sell him anything larger than a 1-sheet poster whilst he is incarcerated, in case he tacks it to the wall and - like Tim Robbins in Shawshank - attempts to tunnel out. That said, the idea of him swimming through raw sewage is not an entirely unappealing one. Anyway, well done all, hopefully this will serve as a cautionary tale to others.

Scott, not H.J. Ward from his listing: Up for sale is The original cover oil painting for Air Fighters a world war 2 type pulp. This Oil painting I attripute to H J WARD but its not signed. I have put a signed H J WARD from the 1937and 1940s as up as a comparision . Its certainly looks to me like Wards style. However Ward style in the 1940s was a lot different then his 1930s work. Still I can't be certain its by ward, But I have attrubited it to him the guy is a liar if he thinks the above statement is true that Ward's 40s style was diff than his 30s style as it was not. I've sold a number of Ward paintings.. the guy is delusional. of course, I believe the seller is Theo Holstein, who is as close to a thief as anyone could be and if you go to the CGC boards, you can search and find lots of stuff on him At 09:18 AM 4/1/2012, Phillip W.

While someone can charge whatever they want, having an $11,000 Buy It Now price would seem to warrant doing a little research, unless this level of accuracy represents full disclosure. There are several active poster sellers on EBay and elsewhere who will describe a poster as follows: Original vintage poster from this 1937 John Wayne western The poster in question is perhaps a 1952 re-release, but that information is not disclosed. Though the poster being sold is not a reproduction and none of the description is inaccurate, it certainly seems like a hugely deceptive practice. Thoughts/solutions?

Re: [MOPO] One reason counterfeit movie posters rarely make front p, etc.
counterfeit wines have been going on for generations folks. in wines, there are several ways of collecting. I was a wine collector for years and still have 1982, 1985 1990 bordeaux in my collections from such heavyweights as Pichon-Lalande, Lynch Bages and I even have a bottll of 1945 Port. I am a bottle collector. I buy wines to drink them, and sometimes I save the empty bottle. another category of collector is a label collector Label collectors are the kind of people who have to have a bottle from every producer of each variant bottle and frequently these wines are not drunk. People who have 1812 Napoleans are unlikely to drink them, largely because they are now undrinkable (but it isn't always the case) usually - and this case likely highlights this fact - win counterfeiting is done by changing labels and even re-corking bottles. The thief in this article was obviously a sophisticated, but unsophisticated schmuck!! For instance, he had to have changed the labels on every bottle he wished to sell, which means he had to counterfeit these labels. We already know how easy it is to counterfeit paper. His problem was counterfeiting wines that did not exist, but the simple fact that representatives of the wineries had to go through historical information to help uncover the fraud is one aspect of why it may have been so difficult to expose him, combined with the egalitarian way that wine business is handled. Now while some real pro buyers may have avoided his scam by not bidding on bottles that they didn't feel were right, the majority of these bottles may have been bought by Asian collectors who drink the wines. When this happens, they may not know what the wines are supposed to taste like in all likelihood, the wines in the bottles were probably good wines re-bottled, so unless the wine aficionado knew that the 1945 wine they were drinking was supposed to have a peachy flavor, and not instead the oaky apple flavor that it does have - the fraud would not be exposed. If wine review king Robert Parker bought a bottle and opened it, the fraud may have been exposed immediately. the key here is knowledge and a sensitive pallate. Few people can say things like ah yes.. grapes grown on the north slope in the second area from the third patch of the western vineyard at Sonoma-Coutrez (but yes there actually are some people who can). The thief must have been doing this for some time. probably many years, but the evidence is mostly gone as it has been drank. But how any experienced dealer could forge bottles that were never vinted in the first place is a mind-boggling fraud. Having a suite of wines 1945-1971 that don't exist is like creating a style-Q Dracula one sheet. The fact that the winery needed to be called to do historical research if those bottles existed however is evidence of how difficult it may be for average collectors to know they hadn't been cheated. Even the auctioneers were taken in, which sort of means their professional wine agents might need some more schooling cheers!!

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
I agree with Evan, they never lower prices, they just hook larger profits when their costs go down if the film companies did an 80/20 split, they would raise the cost of the distribution to cover the 10% loss and tickets would be another dollar or two and you would still be getting screwed. it is a no-win situation I would think you guys to understand corporate monetary policy by now I stopped eating concession stand food a long time ago..

That being said, I wonder how much of a response you will get, at least publicly, with regard to the question you posed about boosted colors being a good marketing tool or a deceptive practice. I presented this question on APF when images of the Heritage Berwick posters began to appear on the HA site, once they had been washed, cleaned and linen backed. It was (and is) very apparent that HA boosted the color on many of those posters (to the point where some had the look of oversaturated reprints). In my comments and question, I repeatedly made mention of taking into account differences in cameras used, lighting setups (or lack thereof) etc. Some agreed and also made their own independent comments about this very subject. Yet there were a handful, saying that NO boosting had been done, how dare anyone accuse HA of doing such a thing and that kind of talk. No one was suggesting that HA had committed any crime or murdered a newborn, for goodness' sake, but that their photo dept had simply boosted and saturated the poster images...lol To this day (and that post was a week and a half ago), there has been no response from HA directly about this color boosting question. Because you asked for thoughts on this practice, I think that all poster images should be presented as they actually look, battle scars and all (unless restored and described as such). To present images of posters that practically radiate off the page is deceptive, in the sense that they are not a true representation, especially on high end items like the Berwick Find. Not everyone can travel to Dallas to look at posters that HA auctions (Berwick or others for that matter), so presenting an accurate image is vital. -Kerry On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 4:59 AM, Bruce Hershenson mailto:brucehershen...@gmail.combrucehershen...@gmail.com wrote: I received this e-mail from a customer yesterday: The lobby card which I bought in the Tuesday February 14 auction arrived today in perfect condition, thanks to your superlative packing.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. And unless a description is written in technical, bullet point fashion, pointing out flaws, dings, rips (as well as it's positive aspects), a photo is 100% crucial. No one would buy an item with only a paragraph of descriptive text included. As far as the comments made about the limitations in photography, you not right here, Franc. Your example of a raw photo looking washed out or totally browned would mean the initial photograph was taken (or lit) incorrectly. A photographer who knows his craft would never turn over an image such as you described, saying that it can be fixed in post. And if they did, it would be the last thing he would shoot, if I had hired him. If a poster has browned due to age or paper acid content, then show it-- dont artificially lighten it or the borders in photoshop. Many (including myself), like to see the age and history of an item 70 or 80 years old. Who wants it to look like it was printed yesterday? And if there was, for example, a light censor stamp, that was difficult to see, of course, that area should be a separate detail photo, tweaked with and adjusted, to best show and see it. That, tho, is not a color boost issue. The question posed was regarding images that have been saturated or color boosted; not how photoshop can best show possible imperfections or details not seen readily. -Kerry On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 10:30 AM, Franc mailto:fdav...@verizon.netfdav...@verizon.net wrote: I think Voltaire figured out a long time ago that nothing's perfect in this best of all possible worlds.

I can totally forgive the photo shop color corrections because in many cases to not photo shop the photo will result in a poster looking totally washed out or (worse yet) totally browned, when in real life it is not.

Re: [MOPO] AS OF JUNE 1st, EBAY DEMANDS THAT ALL PACKAGES SENT HAVE TRACKING NUMBERS
Tom you are correct, however the key is for international buyers to buy alot over a 30 day period (from one seller) and have it all shipped at one time, which would also mostly necessitate Priority Mail shipping as any package 4lbs or more can only be sent that way bruce I both offer such a service (Pay Hold) but the real victim of shipping cost is not the buyers - it is the sellers! for every dollar that shipping goes up, bids go down. so the Post Office gets more money, but the dealers get less I've been hesitant to raise shipping rates again, but just this morning I have come to the conclusion that I have no choice oil speculators suck balls Rich At 12:02 PM 2/28/2012, Johnson Tom wrote: And this could be the end of international shipping for a lot of items from the US, since I believe 1st Class International, the only affordable method for shipping something of small or moderate value, does not offer a tracking number. Unless I'm mistaken, you have to use Priority, which is far too costly unless a buyer is willing to pay $30-40 for shipping of items that cost that much or less.

Re: [MOPO] AS OF JUNE 1st, EBAY DEMANDS THAT ALL PACKAGES SENT HAVE TRACKING NUMBERS
not entirely true on the customs # Freeman sometimes it tells you if it was delivered, other times not I have a feeling it depends on whether the mailman delivering is lazy or if what country you send to has different procedures At 12:16 PM 2/28/2012, Freeman Fisher wrote: Wait guys, As of yesterday, using the feature when you click on items sold on EBAY and click add tracking link that is on every sold item listed, I have been able to enter in both kinds of customs forms numbers (for first class, the smaller form, or the larger form for priority) on overseas sales and seemingly that satisfies the tracking information issue. Indeed tracking using customs form numbers only tells you when it has arrived at the overseas destination, and when released from customs. IT DOES NOT TELL YOU WHEN IF EVER DELIVERED TO ADDRESSEE. This may not ultimately win a dispute because signature wasn't required on delivery but at least its something but at least its something that seller can see that the item has been shipped and on its way..which helps assuage his panic.

And isn't it a bad sign when the best segment was the circus art, which has zero to do with movies. It hit me when they did the In Memorium segment, and there were tons of behind the scenes people no one knows, with a few famous faces thrown in. They have successfully turned the Oscars into the Golden Globes, filled with insiders and inside jokes, where they pretty much ignore the viewing public, and give the awards to the movies THEY like. the kind that the critics fawn over, but which not many people actually see. Of course, this transformation has been going on for many years, but at least they used to pretend to care about the people who make it all possible, those who buy the tickets. And in a day when movies face more and more competition from all sorts of other kinds of entertainment, it may not be just the awards ceremony that sees its number of viewers continuing to fall in coming years.

Re: [MOPO] Thanks Scott
Scott Burns is one of the truly unsung heroes of the movie poster collecting hobby his creation - MoPo - is undoubtedly responsible for the furtherance of knowledge and building of comraderie between the many members of mopo past present, not all of whom are still with us today. An altruistic pursuit by Scott, MoPo is not a money making venture which only speaks to the true value of people like Scott who are willing to use their time, effort financial resources for the betterment of others in our community. Where would we be if this wonderful asset to the poster hobby did not exist? MoPo was the springboard for other groups that have followed like NSF, MPF, APF others not yet in existence. MoPo has been for many the entrenue to meeting other like collectors in the internet age, wherein the conventions of the past which had previously held many collectors together as a group, but which are evaporating as more more collectors never leave their home towns (or even their desk) in the pursuit of this wonderful hobby. we salute you Scott for bringing us together Kudos to Scott Burns and MoPo Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] paying for autographs
Franc one of the things that I do think is fairly retarded is that at the Hollywood show, many stars will charge you an extra $5 to sign the item you walked in with. let's do the math $30 for me to give you my photo that cost me money with my autograph. $35 for your photo which cost me nothing if anything, it should be reversed - $25 to sign your photo At 12:09 PM 2/20/2012, Franc wrote: I was actually at an autograph in which Ann-Margaret was the star attraction and there was a huge sign announcing no photos. She was however selling her own photos and autographs. I thought that was ridiculous. I was also at a show with Sam J. Jones. I was willing to pay him to autograph things I brought auch as the one sheet from Flash Gordon and his centerfold but he was only willing to autograph the photo repro crap he brought with him. Admittedly I wanted to re-sell that stuff on Ebay but he didn't know that. He told me he was in a different place now. I wanted to inform him that he was at a tacky celebrity show in Burbank but I didn't bother. If celebrities don't want to be photographed in a public place, I can almost understand that but if they actually come to a celebrity show to sell their autographs and their photos, I can't fathom why they wouldn't allow a fan to take a photo with them or to autograph a personal memorabilia that a fan has brought especially when the fan would pay for this dubious honor.

Re: [MOPO] paying for autographs
Franc, as a dealer, the stars asking for more money to sign the photo you brought in is a restraint on the dealers in the room. Dealers who purposely bring items of the stars will sell fewer items to fans who would otherwise buy them to get autographed, so the actors and actresses are doing a dirty to the dealers. on the other hand, if they do not wish to be photographed with you, that is their prerogative. it's the ones who scream at the guy 20 feet away don't take my picture that I think are being foolish At 12:33 PM 2/20/2012, Franc wrote: I don't even object to that.

Re: [MOPO] QUESTION ABOUT THE SIZE OF SILENCE OF THE LAMBS

In fact, the first time I ever heard of anyone collecting film posters was when my cousin, Bill Withers, started collecting them from Eddie Brandt about 1972. I thought: what an odd thing to want to own. Many years later I bought my first group of posters, and quite honestly I intended to flip that lot and to continue to do what I was doing, which was nothing in particular. But that did not work out and I started selling posters. The truth is I have never been a collector of film posters and I am not, truly, a collector today. An odd thing for someone who owns thousands of them. I am a dealer. When I have at times contemplated starting a collection myself, I have always rejected the idea. I think that, for me, this would be a bad idea. Every poster that I have may be purchased. Of course, I get to enjoy seeing many posters and I do enjoy helping people find things and David, Steve and I enjoy of course, selling from the MovieArt World Headquarters in Austin.

Re: [MOPO] Question for dealers
it's all about what equipment you use and what you're doing with it I have hi-res scanning equipment and I have a hi-res camera depending on what final usage you have either one can have it's advantages, one of them being that shooting photos with a high-quality digital camera takes much less time than scanning equipment the Canon DC-10 I have is almost as good as my scanners and if I had a Canon with a CMOS element rather than CCD element, the quality would be absolutely perfect. I believe that is the type of camera Heritage photographers would be using (CMOS) as for print media you need that quality. the Canon EOS 60D at 18mp CMOS and just $999 is a perfect tool for the average user wanting print-quality results at the lowest price. As you move up to the more expensive models, you get to the sports photography level where you can blow up an image to an 8 foot sign with no loss in picture quality and with super-high speed you start talking about $15,000 and more expensive cameras and they'll be as good in quality as any Linotype-Hell drum scanner At 04:05 PM 1/30/2012, JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia wrote: Hi to you all I have recently started scanning lobby cards instead of photographing them.

Re: [MOPO] Question for dealers
I might also mention - a scanner does smooth out the image. you don't see creases and the like as well as you do with a good camera and that's because a scanner doesn't examine the paper but rather the color and the image is 2 dimensional, while a camera sees depth Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

there is only so much you can do about that Phil the reality about life is buyer beware and it is up to the customer to get educated the world is full of shysters and thieves.

You also need to know how to be able to right a wrong that has been thrust upon you. some poster buyers do that by buying from Bruce, Heritage and myself (as well as many other reputable sellers) because they absolutely know that any one of us will correct whatever issue pops up.

We replied that it almost surely would turn up before too long, because in most such cases the items are tied up in customs. He just e-mailed to tell us the package arrived.

If this original Call It Murder 3-Sheet were to sell for $500 or $700 or more, whether the seller was guilty or not of any infraction whatsoever, someone out there would have paid 3, 4, 5 or even 10 times the value of the piece. I think it's the seller's reonsibility to be competent in discerning what is an original poster or lobby card and what is not an original poster or lobby card. If Bogart is listed eighth in the credits for Midnight (a film with a completely different title than Call It Murder)--that along with the fact that the title is different should throw up a flag that this 3-Sheet is from a later year than 1934. If the seller is not aware of this type of situation occurring where re-release posters are concerned, then I think they should check with Bruce or some other knowledgeable dealer who can help them in the process of selling their posters.

Re: [MOPO] International Air Mail Experiment with Stamps.com
no phone calls are needed just go to USPS.com and enter the info I'll bet the package Helmut is talking about was not sent Priority Mail anyway At 11:02 AM 1/4/2012, Freeman Fisher wrote: Helmut, Regarding the Priority Mail Shipment, your seller had to fill out the larger customs declaration form. In the upper left corner just under the bar code is a customs tracking number. Your seller can call the post office or its possible you can from your end, that most definitely can determine if your package is still in customs, backlogged from the Holidays or if it has been released. Its a 13 digit code that ends in US. Try that. That is one definite example of why sending Priority Mail from the US has an advantage. freeman On Jan 4, 2012, at 10:26 AM, Helmut Hamm wrote: As of today, I'm still waiting for a package apparently sent Priority Mail from the US around November 15... Unfortunately, the seller can't show a tracking number, so I had to file a Paypal claim. Several other purchases from the US are also delayed, regardless of the service used. An outgoing package to the US, sent Registered Mail on November 16 hasn't been delivered as well, last tracking status is from November 18. It's the holiday season, and I'm facing these problems every year, with international mail, serious delays are to be expected, regardless of the service use. Fortunately, sooner or later (almost) everything tends to show up again (sometimes MUCH later, though). Helmut Am 30.12.2011 um 23:43 schrieb Franc: I'd like to just follow up on my International Air Mail test using Stamps. com. I sent out parcels by International Air Mail on 12.12.11 to Australia and Europe. I was told that this method of shipping takes only 10 days or less, usually only five, as opposed to Priority International which allegedly can take longer if the parcel is stopped by costoms. I was also told that if the postage is purchased through stamps.com ,adequate tracking and delivery information would be provided to satisfy an Ebay/PayPal claim of non-delivery should the package be lost or should the buyer simply lie and claim non-receipt. Well, eighteen days later one of my four shipments, the one to Australia arrived. I know this because I received an e-mail from the satisfied buyer. Stamps. com provided not one bit of information in connection with tracking or delivery except to indicate that there was an Electronic Shipping notification on my part. Contrary to the myth, spread on this board, Internati! onal Air Mail is not quicker or more reliable than Priority International and in the event of a claim of non-delivery or non-receipt, the buyer will be hard pressed to using the alleged tracking information that is provided by Stamps.com to substantiate shipment and delivery. I plan to continue to use Priority International for items valued over $150 and will pass the expense on to the buyer. That's the only assurance a buyer can have against bogus international PayPal/Ebay claims.

Earl certainly has a major point. the theatre experience sucks in the US because the person next to you doesn't give a damn about the person next to them.

Of late, however, I have found myself growing increasingly reluctant to brave the crowds and traffic, pay the high cost of admission and attempt to enjoy a film while I am surrounded by a sea a tiny blue screens in the darkness while members of the audience tweet and text. BTW, I always buy the overpriced popcorn and drinks. I was an independent theatre owner in Houston during the 1970s and fully realize that the refreshments are where the theatre owners -- not the studios -- make their profit. Don't be surprised if domestic film attendance and revenues continue to drop as more Americans are able to enjoy at least a facsimile of the theatrical experience at home. We also have many more options vying for our entertainment dollars, of which, in this stagnant economy, fewer and fewer are available. The rest of the world is not as blessed and continues the theatrical experience as a major entertainment event. Once upon a time a motion picture was available only on 35mm in multiple, heavy metal reels and cans. Now that same film can be stored and watched on a tiny, thin storage disc that could get lost in your pocket. As technology increases, the need for archaic means of film distribution and exhibition -- which has remained essentially unchanged for more than a century -- grows less and less.

Even though films were dubbed, that was generally a very secondary consideration in the casting or the nature of the film to be made. Arnold Terminator wasn't even allowed to speak English in his first film. Movies done by US producers are now made, cast and greenlit with an eye to International Box Office. Casts are often put together not just on their ability to gel, but also on the basis of what worldwide markets that can deliver. It is possible that this year's total worldwide revenue will once again hit an all time high. While producers are concerned about the drop in Domestic Box Office, they are not going to put that at risk while they have found a formula that has driven International and total Box-Office growth for the last 25 years. International press tours and local market TV appearances are important to ticket sales in a way that they never were before. More and more films are cast with an eye to the ability of some of the stars to dub their own voices and to have built in local recognition in certain marketplaces. Can you say The Expendables? Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (with more sequels to come) was originally built around a ride at Disneyland. It earned 80% of its 1 billion dollars overseas. Johnny Depp is an international star who speaks some French. Penelope Cruz was added to the cast not just because she is a fine actress, but also because she is an international star who speaks Spanish and Italian, does her own dubbing and is a smashing asset on foreign press tours. Every producer knows that Mila Kunis speaks Russian; a place where Hollywood is trying to build audiences. Viggo Mortensen does dubbing and tours in a host of languages. I could go on and on. Tintin probably won't do nearly as well in the US as it will do in Europe. Steven Spielberg and New Zealander Peter Jackson (who is one of the producers) could not have made that film as a Columbia -Paramount co-production 25 years ago. It would have been made by a European producer, probably in French, and been relegated to a small US release. Spielberg was directing his first animated film and he wanted it to have world-wide appeal. Though Frank Capra was born in Sicily, you would never know it from any film he ever made. I'm not passing judgment and not trying to be xenophobic. The U.S. film business has just changed.The French, Spanish, Italian and other film businesses generally are making better films in my opinion because telling a story is more important than how wide an International release they will be able to get. Hollywood is trying to make films where every marketplace will see someone that they can relate to onscreen and call their own. I'm not saying that means that Hollywood has to make crappy films, but that seems to be a by-product of making films as marketing deals rather than as story telling vehicles. - Original Message - From: mailto:brucehershen...@gmail.comBruce Hershenson To: mailto:MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDUMoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2011 6:31 AM Subject: [MOPO] OT: Movie crowds dip to 16-year low as apathy lingers http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/53195051-79/billion-million-movie-2011.html.csphttp://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/53195051-79/billion-million-movie-2011.html.csp My thinking is that most current movies aren't very good, and that they are too expensive, too much trouble to go to, and there are a million good alternatives that are far cheaper and just as entertaining.

The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin seriously forbids the impetus to talk, text, chat and generally be obnoxious in their theaters. They run a short piece before the film begins telling to be silent and keep your cell phones dark during the film. You get one warning. Then you're ejected. They do it, too. And it's a wonderful place to see films. Great projection. Great sound. they're a small theatre run by the owners corporate run theatres won't spend the money on a chat monitor who goes from one screen to another to tell people to shut up because A) the corporations don't want to spend the money on such an employee and B) because they don't want to send a paying customer on their way, no matter what kind of asshole they are Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] PayPal Seller Protection
Helmut the one thing you do not mention, and that most people are not aware of, but I am because we send so many packages, is that anything over 4 lbs to overseas destinations can only be shipped by Priority Mail. it adds alot to the cost of a package.. but we can't do anything about it unless we ship by UPS, which costs even more!! no doubt that shipping costs are a tremendous deterrent to some people when bidding and ultimately, they bid less to balance out shipping costs. it's like adding a seller's fee to every poster as it comes out of my results Rich At 03:01 AM 12/20/2011, Helmut Hamm wrote: I'm a dealer myself, so I can obviously understand any seller's aggravation when a package gets lost, and I'm certainly the last person who has anything positive to say about Paypal... However, when it comes to shipping costs, I RECEIVE at the very least 100 international packages every year, most likely a lot more. 100 packages sent with First Class Mail International would cost me about $12 each, $1,200 total. The same 100 packages shipped PRIORITY MAIL, at a cost of about $24 each would result in $2,400 in total shipping costs. That's roughly $1,200 in additional shipping costs in a single year alone. I like to have a tracking number for really expensive items, but even with items of $100 value, I could afford to LOSE almost a dozen packages, or more than 10% () of my incoming mail, and without ever filing for a refund, I would STILL be a couple of hundreds bucks ahead. Now my ACTUAL loss rate is WAY UNDER 1%. Postal services may be slow, but sooner or later, almost anything tends to show up again. For me, the math is pretty simple: Using Priority Mail all the way would cost me a four-digit amount extra every year, so instead, all I ask from the seller is a proof of shipment, and IN RETURN I agree to cover the risk of a possible loss. On the other hand, if I'm made to pay for Priority Mail, I will of course use any chance Paypal gives me to get my money back. (I currently have a Priority package that should have been shipped about six weeks ago, about $400 value, and the seller says he's lost the tracking number. Although I'm pretty optimistic that it'll show up eventually, I will of course file a claim with Paypal in this case.) Helmut Well, maybe whomever you got at PayPal was more charitable to you than the person I contacted, who told me in no uncertain terms that the customs label can not be used for either tracking or proof of shipment. This occurred two months ago and I was out about $300 in revenue. If you input an international customs # into the USPS website, all you get is a certification indicating that the package was presented to the Post Office in your origin city and no delivery information whatsoever.

Re: [MOPO] Stolen Posters
I had a claim 25 years ago. The owner of the building my Gallery in Cincinnati was in was redoing the roof, so the workmen had removed much of the tiles above the office area and couldn't finish the job that day. Overnight an unexpected rainstorm rolled in and of all things, a waterfall was coming in right over a stack of comic art that was standing vertically in a box on the floor right under the water. They paid me on the claim and when they were writing the check, the agent asked me if the art still had any value and if so, what would I pay for it. I got a settlement of $12,000 and then they sold me back the art for 10%. The more valuable material I had restored and was able to sell. I still have some of the lesser art that is all wavy from the water when a portfolio was stolen from my booths at San Diego Comicon in 2003 (including Wrightson and Frazetta art), I was paid on another claim. I asked the agent what happens if the material comes back to market I'm able to retrieve it (it never has). He told me if it comes back soon to let them know, but that if it came back some years down the road that they wouldn't care if I kept it, but I should still let them know. In that case, the actuarial issues (claims vs premiums) would have been adjusted by a long term and the $ would have been put back into their pocket by then through premiums received. At 03:10 AM 12/20/2011, Helmut Hamm wrote: That's exactly the deal with any art insurance, if they paid for it, they own it. The much more common case is that a piece of art gets damaged, and when the insurance company pays out the full insurance amount, they have the legal right to claim possession of the insured item. If it's something they don't care about, the sometimes forfeit that right, but the storage rooms of art insurance companies worldwide must be stacked with 'damaged goods'. Helmut I have always wondered about this. If Robert gets paid by the insurance company, and then the posters are recovered, are they now the property of the insurance company to do with as they please?

Re: [MOPO] PayPal Seller Protection

Re: [MOPO] PayPal Seller Protection
yes the customs label can be used for tracking to some extent and recently I noticed that more info was available than previously.

For complete requirements, see terms. Protection for unauthorized payments When you ship to the address on this page and provide proof that the item was shipped, you're protected against claims for unauthorized payments. For complete requirement, see terms. In other words, merely providing proof of shipment is not enough to claim Seller Protection for items not received. You must provide proof of delivery. About a week ago, after the flurry of e-mails on this board, I tried out Stamps.com and shipped my first package by International Air Mail. So far my tracking record on Stamps.com indicates that I've provided Electronic Shipping information. This is NO indication in the Tracking History that the package was shipped by USPS.

I think that overall, most collectors make attempts of button-holing information to fit within a small region of information, but the reality is that not all information fits in such a small place yes, when talking about regular collectors prices do follow some similarity, but when talking about people with pockets so deep you can't find the bottom, it becomes clear that all things are relative to a person making 50k a year, a $5000 expenditure is 10% of their gross salary (before taxes) to a person that has $20,000,000 or more in assets and a serious salary, $32,000 is not just peanuts - it's peanut shells. what's it like to a person who has $100 mil or $1billion?? it's a grain of sand on their own private beach Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] Another fleabay Moron
Helmut, it isn't just about the $5, the facts are that his ebay page flatly misrepresents what was supposed to happen, that my package was going to be shipped by Priority Mail, for $8. It was not You know me too well to think that I would do the same thing and you may or may not know that my secretary Anna regularly lets buyers know if the postage money they sent to get their items shipped was too much, and they therefore have a credit of some nature. She keeps a list by her desk to reference. my fees for shipping do include a small amount - maybe a couple bucks - to cover supplies used a tiny bit for labor and I allowed the fleaBay jackass something for that, but I do not charge anyone $5 to put the package in my car drive over to the post office. Also, I think many people will agree, that this is happening too much now on these jackass fleaBay sellers AND it is strictly prohibited by the fleaBay rules. I did file a report, but the time involved in trying to find the right complaint forms at ebay is ridiculous and to be honest, fleaBay does something that goes against a potential buyer seeing a true feedback rating for the sellers because they drop off ratings over 12 months old, and if you go into the guy's feedback file, you can see he has a few complaints about just this issue, but they were more than 12 months old (one just barely) so his feedback is 100%, giving buyers a false sense that he is a good seller. the good news for buyers following me? this donkey only has one feedback comment for the past 12 months (maybe he was staying off with the lowered rating?) and so when I neg him, he'll be at 50% and the likelihood he will be selling anything to anyone with a 50% rating is pretty close to zero and that is EXACTLY WHAT FEEDBACK IS FOR - to warn other potential buyers that the seller is a complete and utter moron who cannot be trusted Rich At 04:16 AM 12/12/2011, Helmut Hamm wrote: Rich, frankly, if I were to complain about a $5 overcharge in shipping, I could post here every other day. For some reason, a vast number of eBay sellers feel entitled for a $5 to $10 extra for shipping international, sometimes even more. If I were to leave negative feedback for this, I would probably neg about 50% of my eBay sellers. And don't even get me started on the people who insist of shipping International Priority, which has NO advantage for me whatever. If you buy First Class Mail International postage online, you can purchase a Certificate of Mailing for a mere $1.15 or so. This way you have a proof of shipping for Paypal, and everybody could be happy. But no, I HAS to be Priority Mail. Almost anything I buy can be shipped for no more than $12 with First Class, yet I constantly find myself confronted with guys asking $30 and more for Priority Mail. How does an $18 overcharge sound to you? Add the fact, that ANYTHING shipped Priority Mail is inevitably stopped by customs these days, regardless of declared value. So evertime this happens, I go on a three-hour round-trip to pick the darn thing up. How's THAT compared to your $5 loss?

you are 100% correct Helmut, that dealers are not meant to profit from shipping/packaging costs I can't sell you something if I can't ship it to you if I'm not going to be happy with the price I get for what I sell you, then I should start it higher, where I will be happy of course, in my case, as all MoviePosterBid.com bidders know - I'm happy with whatever I get for any particular item, even when something sells for just 99 cents, but to a tee, almost every fleaBay seller whom I have this gripe with loves to add what a great price the item is even with the extra charge it's the same as stealing, he's picking my pocket At 11:06 AM 12/12/2011, Helmut Hamm wrote: I also agree with Kirby on this, but I go one step further: In my humble opinion, SHIPPING COSTS are not supposed to be a source of extra revenue.

Re: [MOPO] Another fleabay Moron
in our case, we don't send the refunds anymore - we let you know you have a credit. it's more time consuming to send the refunds and all buyers do not use Paypal (some actually do send checks) At 11:14 AM 12/12/2011, Bruce Hershenson wrote: I pay an employee to review all 500 orders we send each week, and we refund anyone who paid more than $1 over the cost of shipping plus $3 for packaging supplies and third party insurance. We send lots of $2 and $3 refunds (plus lots more to people who pay multiple shipping charges on stuff that can be combined).

Re: [MOPO] Another fleabay Moron
Franc people don't realize that the USPS is an integral part of our nations history and that it was created as a vehicle to promote economic benefit. For more than 150 years, Postmaster General was a Cabinet level position (eliminated in the 1970s) The original purpose of the USPS was to provide a way for newspapers, magazines and advertising to reach consumers, which in turn created an economic engine. This is still the purpose of the USPS. 70% of all revenues come from bulk and commercial mailings (yeah that junkmail). However, if we eliminate the USPS, the cost of shipping packages are much higher with UPS and Fed-X and I have no doubt that it would kill my business and other mail-order sales. we need it and anyone who says otherwise is simply uninformed At 11:42 AM 12/12/2011, Franc wrote: Of course we need the post office.

Re: [MOPO] It's not just horror movie posters that are forged!
Art fraud is an old story and goes back at least 100 years, to the beginning of big money art sales in Europe and America. you can go back even further to 1496 when Michaelangelo faked a cupid sculpture that was sold by an art dealer and later found to be a fake. Of course, today, that very piece would be a Michaelangelo masterpiece. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_forgery The most serious violations of art fraud began in the early part of the last century, however there are startling examples during the 18th 19th century as well. in the late 80s, I was staying at a friend's house in Newport Beach when he said he wanted to show me something special. No folks, I'm not talking about the something special that we all hope Kerry Haggard gets to see every day. It was a Lou Fine original for the cover of Science Comics #1 from 1940. He placed it on a table and within seconds I said to him are you sure this is real? have you checked it against the comic book? It doesn't look right to me. Later that summer when he, another friend and myself were in Chicago for the Chicago Comic Con, we discovered the truth and were left with the duty of explaining it to him. He was very disappointed and was so angry that he became - on his own and to little thanks - the person who retrieved and returned many comic books and even cash from the person who forged what turned out to be a few dozen 1940s comic covers. I had never been offered any by the forger, but at that convention, several people brought in forgeries from the guy to show each other. How did the fraud get uncovered? The forger did multiple forgeries of the same covers for Planet Comics #15, Science Comics #1 and other classics and he used many of the same techniques that Haggard used. He got a stack (somehow) of vintage Strathmore art board, he treated the boards to heat and light, coffee stains and more. He annotated the backs of them the same way other pieces of Fiction House and Fox Publishing art were from the original studios and he made sure to get a rubber stamp made the same as the publisher's for stamping the margins. as I said earlier, I was never gotten by the forger (who was based in San Francisco), which is something of a surprise considering I was one of the top comic art dealers at the time, but surprisingly, some top collectors and some other dealers were fooled and just like the Haggard situation - none of them spoke to each other because A) no one wanted anyone to know there was a great source and B) greed got to all of them (even if it was just some small level greed). Had any of them shared the information with me (or a few others who helped to uncover the fraud), I say the fraud would have been discovered sooner as I was suspicious of the very first one I had seen and none of the art was perfect enough to pass the comic comparison test. the only good news was that later, the actual Lou Fine/Will Eisner art to the cover of Science Comics #1 did come to the market and my pal did buy it and it hung in his house for about 15 years. Holding the forgery next to the original showed the major differences in skill between the original artist and forger. One thing that helped cement my rep as an art expert in the field was the admission by my friend that I had doubted the piece he showed me immediately and others that I subsequently viewed that I also stated didn't look right which is a nice way of saying I think this is a fraud and you got taken. since then I have seen scores of forgeries of Frazetta drawings and paintings, Alberto Vargas, Margaret Brundage. someone called me up and asked if I was going to be at the coming show in NYC so he could ask my opinion on this Brundage he had. My table was at the back wall and he called at me from the entrance 200 feet away at the comic convention in NYC (the show was totally dead and maybe 50 people were in the room, so I had a clear view) and I was cracking up from 200 feet away because it was so awful. the piece had traded 4 times before anyone showed it to me. The kicker was that the piece was done in oils and Brundage always worked in Pastels, and yet none of those dummies could tell it was a fake! My friend Richard Clear was standing next to me and I told him to turn around to see it and he was cracking up too (I might also mention that at the time, between Richard and I we had 3 Brundage pastels on our walls at our homes in Ohio) so the forger here wasn't even sophisticated. Art fraud - and Universal poster fraud - has a common enemy: the wish of the collector or dealer to get the piece and more that are promised to be in the hands of the supposed source. It's nothing new, and will continue on until mankind is dead. Rich Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List

A rare and pristine copy of the first issue of Action Comics, famed for the first appearance of Superman, has set a record Wednesday for the most money paid for a single comic book: $2.16 million. The issue, graded at 9.0, was auctioned starting Nov. 11 online at http://www.comicconnect.com/www.comicconnect.com. The starting bid was just $1 but there was a reserve price of $900,000. Neither the name of the buyer nor seller was disclosed. It's the first time a comic book has broken the $2 million barrier. The issue was published in 1938 and cost just 10 cents. IN PICTURES: Monitor Political Cartoons When we broke the record in 2010 by selling the Action Comics No. 1, graded at 8.5, for $1.5 million, I truly believed that this was a record that would stand for many years to come, said Stephen Fishler, CEO of http://comicconnect.com/ComicConnect.com and Metropolis Collectibles. The previous record set in March 2010 was followed by the sale of another copy for $1 million. But neither of those issues was in as good a condition as the issue that sold Wednesday, though it's pedigree of setting records was already documented. Twice before it set the record for the most expensive book ever, selling for $86,000 in 1992 and $150,000 in 1997. But in 2000, it was stolen and thought lost until it was recovered in a storage shed in California in April this year. About 100 copies of Action Comics No. 1 are believed to be in existence, and only a handful of those in good condition. After it was stolen, Fishler said, collectors figured it would never be found or, worse, would be destroyed. Clearly, I was wrong. Not in my wildest imagination could I have predicted that this legendary, stolen Action Comics No. 1 would be found, graded at 9.0 and break the record a year and a half later, he said.

Re: [MOPO] eBay
John, the answer is... fleaBay listings drop every year in Oct-Dec in total number. so fleaBay, trying to capture lost revenue, has these Free or 1penny listing days or nickel or whatever so that people load the site up to make up for fewer listings otherwise. Obviously, they are seeing some positive expectation each week, so they keep running the promotion. Because there are no parameters, you get people who might not otherwise list lots of stuff to go completely overboard, and others who want to list cheap stuff that they might not be able to justify listing fees on hundreds or thousands of items. unfortunately, most of the material listed is either just super-over priced merch, or complete garbage and it doesn't do much to get actual fair bid auctions listed. so the extra listings not only have no use to someone like myself as a buyer and actually make it completely cumbersome to sift through 500 extra pages of listings. so anything I might have been interested that was listed yesterday, in all likelihood I will miss because I'm never going to be able to get through all those pages. the people who list those useless placeholders, like svejlandusa, who apparently is here in Vegas (I do not even know who it is, nor does Cinema Collectors know) are the most aggravating because it take 15 minutes just to scroll through page after page of his non-listings I can definitely see why dealers with store might get pissed off.. you're really getting screwed monetarily AND your listings disappear in all the garbage fleaBay sucks!!
