Re: [MOPO] Hell Drivers

2013-10-01 Thread phil
It's a British classic of its kind. The UK special edition I have had also has 
pdfs of the pressbook, marketing materials and screenplay.
The UK one sheet and/or quad arethe ones to get. The Australian daybill uses 
the international art (also to be found on the Argentinian one sheet).
The Uk paper is, as Adrian says, absolute high water marks of the craft and art 
of British posters (or something like that, if perhaps not quite so hyperbolic!)

The special edition DVD is excellent and well worth getting - interviews with 
Cy Enfield, Stanley Baker and others. I thought Herbert Lom's performance was 
one of his best.

Hi Alan,
I saw Helldrivers a few years back as part of a Pacific Film Archive
British Noir program. It played last year? at Noir City in SF. It
just blew me away to see all those young stars early in their careers.
 Don't forget Jill Ireland! The truck driving race was as exciting as
any technically superior film since then. Something about those
rickety trucks. I met Peggy Cummins last year and she said that Sean
was just one of the guys on the set.

As luck would have it I found some Italian lobbies from the title with
UK snipes over the title in a bargain box!

We have been encountering a limitation on USPS packages shipped from the U.S. 
to certain countries that is driving us crazy, and I am very much hoping 
someone here has an answer we don't know about!


What is the limitation? These countries absolutely don't allow ANY tubes that 
are over 42 in length. So this means that we CAN'T send any linenbacked 
3-sheets, French one-panels, six-sheets etc to those countries, UNLESS they are 
sent via UPS or Fed Ex and those companies charge outrageous amounts.

This wouldn't be so bad, except that this includes Australia and other 
countries we ship to regularly, including:
Brazil
Chile
China
Israel
Lebanon
Mexico
Singapore
South Africa
Taiwan
United Arab Emirates

Most other countries allow up to 60 for Priority Mail (Canada allows up to 
79).


So my question is, DO ANY OF YOU KNOW ANY AFFORDABLE WAY TO SHIP TUBES OVER 42 
FROM THE U.S TO THESE COUNTRIES? If not, we will have to put large notices on 
auctions for those items warning people from these countries not to bid on 
them, and I would hate to have to do that!

I agree, Filip.
I've heard the same statements about Australian posters from the 30s... not

Re: [MOPO] Alfred Hitchcock Posters

2013-07-31 Thread phil
hi John,
Great collection of Hitchcock. Of its specialist nature, the best in the world, 
and of the general run as far as the earliest Hitchcocks, quite superb.

The PSYCHO one sheet is interesting, with the red printed out of register. Ever 
see one printed in register?
I wonder if the one without the red was the one they finally used. Can't see 
Paramount letting out a whole run of mis-registers like that.

Subject: [MOPO] STAR WARS STYLE A 1SH FIRST OF THE FIRST FIRST PRINTING 
77/21-0 PMS COLOR VARIANT PRINTER'S PROOF


Some new interesting information we have learned about the Star Wars Style A 
77/21-0 Printer's Proofs.

And for those of you who don't like the term Printer's Proof, save your 
complaining for another thread please. Our client who was there when they were 
actually printed refers to them as printer's proofs.


STAR WARS STYLE A 1SH FIRST OF THE FIRST FIRST PRINTING 77/21-0 PMS COLOR 
VARIANT PRINTER'S PROOF


First, a little background information:

Gore Graphics was a printing company used by the movie studios and the National 
Screen Service (NSS) from the 1970's to the early 1990's. They printed original 
movie posters, press books, etc. Gore was acquired by another company in the 
1990's.

The Star Wars style A one sheet was officially printed at least 5 separate 
times at a few different authorized print shops during the first theatrical run 
of Star Wars in 1977. This is evidenced by the differences that can be seen on 
the bottom borders of the one sheets. It has been well established by other 
experts, dealers and collectors over the years that the one sheets with NSS 
number 77/21-0 were printed first before all others.

In July 2013 we had an extensive conversation with Mark, a former employee of 
Gore Graphics in the 1970's and 80's. Like other former employees at Gore we 
have worked with over the years, Mark was allowed to take home posters from 
time to time. He has placed on consignment with us several Star Wars printer's 
proof one sheets. While meeting with Mark we became aware of a rare PMS color 
variant printer's proof for the Star Wars Style A one sheet first printing 
77/21-0. Mark carefully explained about these PMS proofs being the first of 
the first Star Wars style A one sheets.

CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. These are the primary colors 
used in printing. Varying the quantities of these colors creates an endless 
array of colors to print.

PMS stands for Pantone Matching System (PMS). PMS is a simpler system for 
printers to use. PMS colors can streamline the process of printing and cut down 
on cost. There can be so much variation in color using CMYK that Pantone is 
sometimes used to help create consistent color. This way a printer can 
consistently print from job to job.

These first of the first PMS proofs were printed before the CMYK proofs. Four 
colors (plates) were used for both the PMS and CMYK proofs. The PMS process 
produced a result that was unacceptable to those in charge (probably George 
Lucas) so Gore changed to a standard CMYK process for the subsequent print run 
which was finally deemed acceptable. All other print runs used this CMYK 
process (as far as we know) making the PMS color proofs much rarer than any 
CMYK proofs.

The PMS proofs are significantly different. When comparing the CMYK and PMS 
proofs side by side, the easiest way to tell the difference is by looking at 
the color bars. The PMS proofs have orange included in the color bar, CMYK has 
yellow.

Re: [MOPO] How to authenticate a Rebecca R40 Belgian?

2013-06-28 Thread phil
The indespensable Belgian book on Belgian film posters,SOUVENIRS D'HOLLYWOOD 
(1986) shows the first release REBECCA as Belgian, and without the United 
Artists logo. It measures at 28x38cm.
Germany invaded Belgium in May, 1940 and from then American films were banned 
from Belgium, although any date post-May 1940 that this was enacted is a bit 
fuzzy.
What did happen with the German occupation was the reduction in size of Belgian 
posters to the small 28x38 cm size.
The Cine Vog are indeed later re-releases, though using the same plates and 
with the U-A logo.

Choko notes the first French release date of REBECCA as 1947. It's a reasonable 
assumption then that the Belgian release date is approximately the same.


As for the Supermanyes, one of those operators.
It's listed in Reproductons, too.
Looking at his feedback, repro/replica posters is not his only area of 
expertise.

But Rich, the dates indicate screening either in May 44 or 50.
May 44 is too early and referring to the calendar those dates don't work for 
those days again until 1950.

And, they did continue using the Selznick International credit presumably 
past '46, it's there on the printings with the Cine Vog distribution credit.


Could have blocked that off out of the artwork, as per RKO being blocked out of 
the Notorious Cine Vog RRs.


I believe the other thing with it, is that the size coincides with the usual 
Cine Vog paper, 14 X 22
Whereas earlier, wartime paper shortage era Belgian posters, less paper used, 
and cropped closer to the print area, even if the art originates from the same 
plates.


That said, I don't know the answer, it's weird.

I would say this is the 1945 poster, though as we all know recycling posters 
for many years was reality.
One key to the date is the Selznick International credit, which ceased usage 
by 1946

I think Heritage got this poster just right and has stated exactly what the 
poster is - first post-war release.

As I understand it, if Cine Vog distributed, then invariably it's RR.

Can't recall having seen one that's known to be original release.

Confused about this one, and where it fits into things, though clearly rarer 
than those printed with Cine Vog.

http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7040lotNo=84176#Photo

Heritage describe as late 40's, first post-war Belgian.
Main, or only difference appears to be lack of the Cine Vog credit, though 
colours possibly more garish.

Screening info shows Mercredi 17 Mai and Jeudi 18 Mai.

Checking the calendar, in that general time frame, Wednesday 17th/Thursday 18th 
only works for either 1944 and 1950.

IMDB has Belgian release as Jan 1945, and since Belgium wasn't liberated until 
late '44, May '44 release seems impossible.

Rarer than the usual, would that place it earlier than Cine Vog paper (usually 
described as being late 40s, though invariably with snipe/screening info torn 
off), even though it seems likely to have been used in 1950, or am I missing 
something?

I couldn't say anything about the REBECCA poster without have seen at least an 
image, but the 'light sheen' is not unusual with early post-war Belgian 
posters. I've handled original 1940s Belgians that were printed on the back of 
an old map and 100% original that showed a slightly 'shiny' surface. My guess 
is that this fades away pretty fast, so you won't commonly see this on posters 
that have exposed to the sun. Both print and paper quality on the 40s and 50s 
poster are quite different

This reminds me of when I was 13 years old, although not for the obvious 
reason. Back then, Errol Flynn was a hero to all us kids as many of his man in 
tights movies were on TV.
One day when the gang were walking home from school, after Robin Hood had been 
on the night before and there was the usual what about the b it where talk, one 
of the kids told us his old man told him that Errol had a big one... but you 
can't see it in the tights, said another boy.
Nah, he must strap it to his leg. But surely you'd still be able to see it in 
the tights was the consensus.
This led to some contemplation. Then one bright spark said, nah, he sticks it 
up his, um, you know. Then another said, but, um, that means he's, you 
know. we all looked at each other in silence for
several moments realising the full import of something none of us had ever 
thought about, but now did. He couldn't do it if he was, um, you know, cracking 
a fat. Further thoughtful looks. Then everybody raced home.
1963 was a great year.

I liked THE LAST SAMURAI a lot, too. Edward Zwick is a thoroughly under-rated 
director, although his films usually do okay.
Another example where Tom, like Russel Crowe, makes you forget that he can 
sometimes act like a putz in the real world, he can be a mighty fine actor.
THE LAST SAMURAI is a decided visual treat, too.

But they made a serious blunder at the end, completely negating the cool set-up

It's a nice thought but I think I will take next week off next week to recover 
from all the hard work of doubling my output this week...Besides May 1st 2013 
is our Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo Vintage Movie Poster Show Headline Auction Show - 
it's probably going to be a good one...or not.Either way, one is the 
operative word once again.Richard Halegua Posters + Comic Art did previously 
state on 15/04/2013 4:52 PM: this announcement caught me entirely unawares. 
as a result, I didn't have my calculator ready  had to use my toes to  come 
to the mathematical realization that you have doubled your  auction listings 
in just seven days! Extrapolating this mathematical equation brings the 
result of 2048  items being sold in week 10 of your auctions and if you 
continue at  that rate, by week 66, you will officially become the person who 
has  sold more movie posters than anyone and you will have achieved that  
goal in less than a year and half! good luck to you in your endeavor to gain 
this title!! At 11:37 PM 4/14/2013, David wrote: After last week's 
successful event I've doubled my output and this  week we have TWO posters up 
for auction (NOT on eBay). Yes I know, none of us was expecting me to 
follow up last week's  effort by going into overtime this week, but with 
great personal  sacrifice I have. Then again, what else would you expect from 
the  hardest working smallest auction site with the smallest turnover, the  
smallest number of movie posters auctioned each week AND the smallest  number 
of staff. In the world! Don't forget our SPECIAL BONUS OFFER! FREE postage 
to the winner of  this auction on any item they win in one future auction 
that we run  between now and June 30 2013. That’s right, if you win this 
vintage  movie poster auction and then bid on a future auction and win that 
 too � we’ll post that one to you for FREE (still by registered post  
too)! Did I say TWO posters up for grabs at this auction??? I did. OMG - 
 how does he do it? (I hear you say in mock disbelief). Well, I have so 
please take time to enjoy ALL the two posters on  offer this week and 
remember NO RESERVE BIDS START AT $0.01

Re: [MOPO] Roger Ebert Passes - side story.

2013-04-04 Thread phil
Of course in Australia, we never got to enjoy SK. A great shame. We have 
Margaret and David, and fellow Australians will know about them and some may 
well agree with me that they are both well past their use-by date, especially 
Mr Stratton
who appears to be stuck in the 60s.

I have, however, enjoyed Roger Ebert's books of collected crits, and like the 
very best critics reviewed the film he saw, not what he wanted it to be and 
perhaps more importantly reviewed the film from basically the POV
of the intended audience. And like the best critics, he was able to write 
spoiler-free reviews and still be meaningful about the film under review. It is 
such lazy film journalism/criticism to simply write spoilers ahead.

Perhaps most telling of all was his ability to review a film that he didn't 
like and still be a good read... a less egocentric Kael, perhaps. His 
collection YOUR MOVIE SUCKS is a compendium of such reviews.

In Australia film criticsim is going down the same lazy path it seems to be 
everywhere. If folks internationall want to read the single best film critic in 
Australia, then go to www.smh.com.au (the Sydney Morning Herald paper... the 
one that isn't
owned by Murdoch) and search Paul Byrnes' reviews.

RIP Roger and Gene. While Roger was still with us, so was Gene after a fashion.

What made Ebert and Siskel transcend other critics were their knock-down,

when they ignored Letterman and started arguing about Free Willy (Ebert liked 
it, Siskel didn't).

Siskel said, I didn't like 'Free Willy' because who likes the whale? The whale 
isn't good looking enough on screen to care about. I once asked Spielberg about 
why he likes creatures in his films and he said it's because of their eyes. In 
'Free Willy,' the whale's eyes are set so far apart that you can't see them.

Ebert scoffed, This is Gene Siskel's criticism of 'Free Willy.' Gene doesn't 
like 'Free Willy' because you can't see both of the whale's eyes at the same 
time. Now that, folks, is rompin' stompin' film criticism. Siskel responded, 
Well, YOU obviously identify with Willy. I wonder WHY. Ebert shot back, Yes, 
and Gene Siskel will ALWAYS be bald. Letterman was in stitches and let them 
fight throughout their entire appearance.

In the end, when it mattered most, they were pals, and Ebert repeatedly said 
after Siskel's deaththat he missed himevery day, that he would never have a 
smarter rival who was also a great friend. -d.

Well, I can indeed highly recommend David. I think everyone understands these 
days that you need to diversify but setting up a website does not necessarily 
mean that you will automatically get sales. Search Engine Optimisation is 
extremely important and David can provide help with that as well.

 This is probably an opportune time to remind everyone that having your own 
website as a back up is probably now a good idea...

 As many of you know, I build and host websites and I will do it for part cash 
and part trade, that saves you money and gets me more posters for my collection!

 I have probably built (or are in the process of building) more websites for 
the poster collecting community than anyone else but I don't just build them 
and then leave to your own devices, I'll take time to teach you how to run your 
website too - you will get your money's worth out of me! [John Reid - feel free 
to insert something nice here, if not, well remember I know where you live...]

 If you are in need of a new website (even if it is not about movie posters) or 
are just wanting to update to your existing site then do feel free to discuss 
with me. I am even happy enough just to give advice, generally that's free (I 
may not always have the answers but I can always find out for you, or failing 
that I will simply make it up as I go along...)

 Today a well designed and easy to navigate website is a must, the consumer no 
longer has patience for websites that doesn't give them the surfing experience 
they have come to expect, just because you are a small or medium size business, 
perhaps even part time or just a hobbyist it simply is no longer an acceptable 
excuse to have a poorly designed or non-user friendly website.

 Given the most recent issue with eBay if you don't have a back-up retail 
website perhaps now is a good time to consider it...

 We provide hosting as part of the package and if you don't own your own domain 
name we sell domain names too.

 It's probably cheaper than you think to have a professional looking website, 
talk to me I am sure we can work a deal.

 Many thanks

I recently had a mishap on a shipment. We had a buyer in the UK whorequested we 
save him a few dollars in shipping by taking his order ofrolled  folded one 
sheets and rolling them all up into one packagefor him. Of course, while we 
prefer to keep folded posters folded, we doget a request like this from time to 
time and are always happy to oblige(one recent order to a member here we did 
the same).

sadly, the tube got partially crushed in shipping even though we useheavy duty 
Uline tubes and one side of all the posters in the tube gotcreased. Naturally 
the buyer was disappointed, however we are luckyenough to have duplicates on 
every poster except one that was in thisbuyer's order and so I told him we 
would be happy to replace as much ofhis order as possible, except we couldn't 
replace the lobby card and that he could of course keep all the damaged posters 
as well and givethem to friends rather than ship them back

I just got the buyer's response this morning and he says:

Richard,
I am very impressed by the customer service displayed here, unlike myrecent 
encounter with another auction.. I am more than happy to acceptyour generous 
offer, thank you. If I may be a little cheeky wouldit be possible to include 
any folded poster I might win this Wednesday -if that resulted in an increased 
postage charge I would, of course, remitthe difference?
The Sex and the City poster I am quite happy for you to hold and includewith 
any future rolled items.
Thanks again, Tommy

I can add that I recently asked another auction to combine somerolled material 
with some flat material [a pressbook] for me to saveshipping, and that auction 
said ...we cannot safely combineall 4 of your purchases in one tube, we will 
be unable to accept returnsfor any reason if we roll it all in one tube. We 
need for you toacknowledge this if you want us to proceed with combining.

so, regardless of what any other auctioneer chooses to insinuateregarding the 
customer service of his competitors and most especiallyMoviePosterBid.com, at

auction. You can bet on itVisit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at

I thought ARGO was a very well directed, very well acted film... very 
entertaining. Mila and I liked it a lot.
After the fact, when I learned just how much of the suspense and reality 
was manufactured, it dropped considerably in my estimation.
Not sure why, just a sense of feeling cheated.
I thought it a shame that both the British and the New Zealanders are 
denigrated The group actually stayed at the British Embassy before it was 
decided to
move them to the Canadian consukate as it was geographically safer.
And that's not all. Wiki it for some even more revealing info.
I haven't seen LINCOLN yet but looking forward to it. No tall poppy syndrome 
here with Spielberg's ability to make big films extremely well.

Back to ARGO... I kept thinking SHAPESPEARE IN LOVE.

As for the Oscars. Either I am just getting too old too care very much, but it 
seems increasinglty irrelevant as each Oscar year goes by.

I responded to David K., but I'll go ahead a post to the entire list. I agree 
with David and Franc on this one entirely. I'm not what anyone would 
characterize as a huge
Spielberg fan, although I recognize his enormous accomplishments in purveying 
popular films. In my book he has had several particularly satisfying films - 
SCHINDLER'S LIST, E.T., and a few others. But LINCOLN is an extraordinary film 
driven by an extraordinary script adapted from an extraordinary book with 
extraordinary performances. Is that enough extraordinaries fer ya? I enjoyed 
ARGO; it was entertaining. But clearly Spielberg and company were robbed. I 
think the sorry decision to have 9 best picture nominations is going to produce 
what I'll bet are (regrettably) plurality decisions like this one.


I thank Steven Spielberg for bringing together this great pool of talent and 
leaving us with a picture that generations will enjoy again and again.

Spielberg USED to be my favorite director up until ET... I think that was his

Executive Producer on the fun popcorn movies, overshadowing the credits for 
the likes of the directors Joe Dante (Gremlins), Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist), and 
Robert Zemeckis (Back To The Future, etc.). You can't convince me that the same 
guy who brought us Duel, CE3K, Jaws and Raiders decided to make movies like 
TheColor Purple andEmpire of the Sun because he wanted to. He made those in 
hopes for awards... He finally got it with Schindler's List, but didn't quit 
there... Sure, he's the most talented and capable mogul who can bring to the

wants to see his epic popcorn-movies, which is what he's best at. If I want a

“Argo” Win Makes Steven Spielberg Hollywood's Biggest LoserOnce again, the Best 
Picture prize slips from his hands. What does Hollywood have against its most 
successful resident?

by Richard Rushfield - BuzzFeed Staff Writer, February 24, 2013

Image by Mario Anzuoni / Reuters

Tonight, Hollywood officially turned its back on its king. Again. The triumph 
of Argo in the Best Picture race, snatching victory from the jaws of Lincoln 
brings Steven Spielberg's win-loss record to a dismal one victory in seven at 
bats for entertainment's biggest prize.

And tonight, not only did he lose out on the Best Picture prize that once 
seemed his, but the consolation prize of Best Director, the category in which 
Argo's Affleck was not even nominated, was also snatched away and handed to 
Life of Pi's Ang Lee.

For a man who is widely considered Hollywood's godfather — who is in his 
unbelievable fifth decade at the top of the heap, who has reigned untouchable 
since before many of today's young directors were born — facing up to yet 
another defeat at the hands of his people starts to look like a clear and 
consistent rebuff.

Worse still, Spielberg's films are not just distant also rans. Most of his 
seven nominated films were at some point in their campaigns considered 
favorites to win the whole thing, making Spielberg the Academy's Charlie Brown, 
forever having the football pulled away.

This year in particular. for a brief moment between the Oscar nominations being

three, Ang, me and the publicist on a catamaran under sail on Sydney harbour at 
sunset.
Ang was unbelievability charming and agreat conversationalist and clearly 
extremely smart about films. While he had only a couple of low budget 
arthouse films under his belt, he was very clear that he wanted to make films 
in all genres - Westerns, martial arts, romance, period etc etc.
He seems to have achived that and just goes from strength to strength.

I love the 1941 RKO book with the early announcement of CITIZEN KANE under the 
title JOHN CITIZEN USA.
These are the real curiosites of film history and the studio books, generally I 
feel, are undervalued.
Some of the art that appears in them is often superior to the final art used on 
posters. One would think that a lavish book just of trade ads
would be a welcome addition to the printed histroy of film. The book THE LOST 
ART OF HOLLYWOOD few years ago was good, but there is so much more promise 
buried in the
vaults of tradead art that is out there.

If I had to choose between Danny Kaye, Jerry Lewis and now Mickey Rooney then 
it is still hands down Danny Kaye. Besides being nominated for X amount of 
Golden Globe awards throughout his career and wining a few along the way for 
his musicals and comedies, he also was nominated for a golden globe for the 
excellent drama Skokie in 1982 proving he was more than just a song and dance 
man and also a great comedian. Very few actors could be so good in 3 quite 
different areas.

Well, I think Mickey Rooney is a class above Danny Kaye and Jerry Lewis. Mickey

Rooney.

Re: [MOPO] Once again, in 2012, over HALF the items we auctioned sold for $14 or less!

2013-01-12 Thread phil

We are just an all-purpose auction house who can auction ALL the items any 
consignor has, and we are the only major auction house who can do this with 
large collections.

What Bruce said in this one line says it all. He is running a very successful 
all-purpose auction house, just like hundreds around the world in big and small 
towns and online. It's what eBay was before it disappeared up its own bum and 
wanted to be Amazon.
The difference is, he regularly gets results that the majortiy of all-purpose 
auctions houses would never get for movie posters and memorabilia.

I think both Franc and David are being over-analytical about the sales pitch 
simply because it covers the major appeal points for both sellers and buyers. 
At the end of the day, what does it matter? Material keeps rolling in and 
rolling out and there are plenty of people who
appreciate the level of service on both sides.

And I can only reiterate that the vast majority of those 57,000 items came from

didn't want a new job selling them one by one. Very few were from collectors, 
except for those who simply wanted to get rid of all they had. Most took our 
advance and looked through their consignments before they sent them and only 
sent items that truly figured to sell for $15 or more.

But we just got in a pallet each from three different consignors and those 
items will go in bulk lots and only a few in single sale, and a lot of the 
single sale items will auction for $14 or under. Consigning those items to us 
made the most sense to those people. Others, like you, would NEVER consign even 
one sub-$15 item, and that makes sense to you.

* That's an interesting way to look at this, Franc, and you're not wrong. But I 
tend to believe that for consignors, if 57,000 of our items sold for under $14 
in 2012, fetching $478,400 - then such items, one could argue - might be so 
less desired - that they might've fetched no more than $14 each anyway, with 
or without the use any selling platform, even after subtracting commissions. I 
think the big factor is whether our below $14 items are given a solid chance 
to reach the highest number of potential buyers - before deciding that I'm 
better off using my paper as kindling.

* I've always believed collectors/buyers are creatures of habit, whether they 
buy from Bruce, Heritage, Rich or from you and Al. If we reflexively check the 
listings of every sale hosted by the aforementioned names - (as I suspect many 
hard core collectors do) - we do so at the exclusion or displacement - of time 
spent browsing your competitors. The other factor has to do with the number of 
consignment houses that will allow themselves to be used as a dumping ground 
for items valued at less than $14. From the consignor's side of the equation - 
using myself as an example - I've used both Bruce and Grey. Both have been 
terrific. But most of the items I used to own were in the $5 to $100 value 
range. Bruce has a large factory of employees who can process a high volume of 
material quickly and efficiently. On the buyer's side of the equation, I don't 
spend a lot of $$$. How I am treated as a low-end buyer - informs how I might 
be treated as a consignor of low- (and high-) ticket items.

* Yet in my case, as a consignor - I still came out ahead when I consider what 
I saved by not worrying about reaching the MOST buyers each week - for 
low-to-mid-range material that many dealers or consignment houses might turn 
down. Given the value of what I owned, I chose Bruce to liquidate most of my 
collection and I did well. Hard figures: Since I began paring down my huge 
collection after the wildfires in our area, my stuff has fetched more than 
$202,000. And 94% of that came since late 2007. Sure, I had a few choice items

Inheritance vanishes from FedEx box Dallas TexasMr. Doug Norwine lied to me and 
now my inheritance worth $30k to $40k is missing!

Heritage Auction Galleries, located in Dallas Texas is the subject of this 
Rip-off report. The Director of Music and Entertainment Memorabilia for 
Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers is Mr. Doug Norwine. I will present the 
evidence that will prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt that Mr. Doug Norwine 
lied to me. It also appears that Mr. Norwine was responsible for 
misrepresentation as it relates to my deceased grandmother being in the movie 
“Gone With The Windâ€.

My grandmother was Miss. California in 1935 and then she became a Hollywood 
movie actress. She had a fantastic collection of movie star photographs. I had 
fantastic 11 x 16 and 8 x 11 inch autographed photographs and snap shot 
pictures. I had snap shots of my grandmother with the original Three Stooges, 
Betty Grable and many others. I had a full two page newspaper article that was 
all about my grandmother. This same two page newspaper article had a picture of 
Bing Crosby with his arm around my grandmothers’ waist. How cool is that? I 
sent my only copy to Mr. Norwine, it was totally priceless.

I had pictures of my grandmother in costume on the movie set for “China 
Seas†which stared Humphrey Bogart. I had snap shots of Carol Lombard on the 
motion picture back lot. I had 11 x 16 inch photographs signed of Jayne Wyman 
(President Ronald Regan’s first wife), Ann Southern, Florence rice, and many 
many more!

I had original “Gone With The Wind†movie stills, my grandmothers’ Motion 
Picture Employee identification card, and many original photographs of movie 
stars from the 1930’s and 1940’s. The vast majority of these photographs 
had a personalized note or wishes in addition to the signature of the movie 
star.

Mr. Doug Norwine claims he personally signed for the FedEx box, but that is not 
the truth. I have proof that Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me.

I spoke to Mr. Doug Norwine late in the afternoon on 2\16\2006. He said the 
deadline to have my parasol included in their upcoming auction catalog was the 
very next day.

Mr. Doug Norwine asked me to send my photograph and newspaper collection with 
my parasol. He said that these collections would support the authenticity of my 
parasol being used in the movie “Gone With The Windâ€.

The box went FedEx overnight from California to Texas. Mr. Doug Norwine said he 
signed for the box and opened it himself. He said the photographs and newspaper 
articles were not in the box.

Photograph and newspaper collections do not just selectively vanish from sealed 
FedEx boxes while in transit.

Re: [MOPO] question for dealers - Great Waltz 1938

2012-10-14 Thread phil
Unless it was an Australian film, where 11x14s were produced locally - usualy 
using a photographic process and not a litho process - lobby cards came for 
their country of origin - the US and to a lesser extent the UK (where 11x14s 
were not usually produced) but where 8x10 front of house cards
were.


Why there are vagaries to the difefrence between the original card you have 
seen and these cards is lost in the mists of time.
I know of no rule that one can apply.

They don't actually look faded, they look like a different inking.

If those are snipes (not printed on) then there is no chance those cards are 
from the first U.S. release in 1938.

I have never seen a 1930s Australian printed lobby card for an MGM U.S. movie. 
I think they only imported U.S. cards.

query on the origins of the GreatWaltz lobby cards I mentioned.

From your posts I think it is fair to saythe cards originate prior to the 1946 
re-issue definitely, the colourshave faded due to the passage of time and thus 
wear and they are of MGM origins. Three of the four cards have an Australian 
censor rating sniped on whichcould have suggested they were first printed in 
the US and then sent to Australiabut there is no mention of the printers name 
at the bottom right hand cornerlike there is on the 1938 original US release 
card. The cards I have do nothave a printers name ?? This leads me to my final 
two questions to thisgroup of experts ii - particularly the aussie ones…

Who were the Australian printers when itcame to lobby cards in the 1930's and 
prior to 1946 and did they print lobbycards a lot or was it largely left to the 
US to send them to Australia?

Also would the practise ever be for a cardto be sent from the US without a 
printers name or for that matter in thatperiod would lobby cards (be they 
re-issues or not) be printed without theprinters name ?

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Question For Dealers

I tend to agree with Richard's current and earlier comment.

The Great Waltz was originally released by Loews/MGM in 1938. This is less than 
10 years after talkies became common. MGM and other studios often printed 
little bits of dialogue as captions on their Lobby Cards during this time 
period. You see that on both of the cards in question. This was a legacy from 
silent films where the audiences was accustomed to reading titles within the 
film and on Lobbies to explain the story. As the silent audience aged this 
dialogue placement disappeared, and is rarely seen on Lobbies after the early 
forties.

The Great Waltz was not re-released until 1947, so I really think that these 
cards are contemporaneous with the original 1938 release. Whether the cards in 
question were printed in the US and then shipped to Australia or were printed 
in Australia for the film's original release is a much harder question to 
answer given the information that I have seen so far.

the changes will be : Listingsfrom Top-rated sellers that provide these buyer

Subject: [MOPO] Speaking of Alien (1979) vs. Prometheus (2012).

Hey gang -

* Caught Prometheus after reading way too many vague or implied references to 
Alien. Entering its third week, the theater was still 2/3rds full - with 
about half its patrons looking north of 40. Up front, I have to say that while 
this film is nowhere close to the 1979 classic, I still think Ridley Scott is 
the greatest living director - who has NEVER won an Oscar.

* The link between Prometheus and Alien is NOT implied. It is SPECIFIC. 
Without giving away the ending, you walk out of the theater knowing both films 
are inextricably linked. There's nothing fuzzy about it. The story in 
Prometheus is set 77 years from now. The story in Alien happens well after 
that.

* The first half of Prometheus - which suggests humans may have been created 
by aliens and placed on Earth for a purpose not yet known - is intriguing, 
introspective and cerebral - with stunning, big-screen visuals. It feels like a 
hybrid of Alien and 2001 - quietly creepy and cynical, complete with H.R. 
Giger-inspired art direction to create a sense of impending doom. The voyagers 
are interested in science and money - but the lead character wears a cross 
necklace and is interested in science AND the notion of a Creator. Meanwhile, 
Michael Fassbender plays the best robot since the Hal 2000 computer and has the 
most fascinating role in the picture.

* The second half of Prometheus postpones further exploration of this where 
did we come from? lineage - (perhaps to be picked up in a sequel) - and goes 
off the rails a bit, turning into a conventional action-fest with the usual 
thrills and gore that made Prometheus - like Alien before it - R-rated. 
While it's not a classic like Alien, Ridley tops what happened to John Hurt 
in Alien - with a singularly original/intense gross-out scene in the second 
half involving Noomi Rapace that blew my mind.

* Prometheus got mixed reviews from critics, hence my expectations were 
lowered. If you plan to see this film, keep 'em low. I'm not sure kids over 17 
will like this picture because the action doesn't come until the second half - 
and its pretty tepid stuff compared to The Avengers. But for the rest of us 
who remember Alien (remember, Ridley never directed the sequels) - this is 
way better than the Lucas-directed Star Wars pre-quel, The Phantom Menace.

* I walked in thinking I was going to see a pic that was a 6 on a 1-10 scale 
- and walked out feeling like it was an 8. Ridley Scott is 74 and he still 
has it. For technical and visual excellence, this picture gets an A+. The 
story gets an A in the first half and a C in the second half. But it does 
have an ending that worked well with me. -d.

The issue of signed posters came up a while back.
Think general consensus was that they're not particularly favoured.
I tend to think they look out of place on posters.I've got a few signed that 
mean something to me, though perhaps not to others if it came to selling them.
I also recall David mentioning a Psycho poster signed by Janet Leigh to him.
I don't know how Star Wars collectors would feel about that poster signed by 
Prowse, but don't imagine his sig is rare, does a lot of fairs I'd have thought.
Guinness for instance may be a different matter, though obviously that's not an 
option.

Subject: [MOPO] Metropolis and all...my two penneth

Mopoers

There are some brains thinking, some tongues wagging and a lot of speculation 
going on concerning what is going on with Ken Schacter and his collection.

I am viewing this from maybe a different point of view.

 have heard many stories about many people in this business...and Ken has been 
the subject of some of these stories.

I will say that Ken has never done me a disfavour...if we couldn't reach a 
satisfactory conclusion on a deal then we left it.

I am perhaps privy to some small amount of information bout Ken's personal 
life...many of you will know that I had a long term illness a few years ago, 
Ken sufered a similar fate though not personally. The circumstances put him in 
a situation that not many parents would want to be - losing your partner and 
having to bring your child up on your own.

The fact that bankruptcy is in progress is not a very good situation to be 
in...I don't know the circumstances...actually I don't want to know. With the 
experience I have had those who face bankruptcy are usually in a corner with 
their back right against the wall...I also know that the US authorities require 
their taxes and their pound of flesh immediately if not sooner. For Ken to be 
losing his poster collection is quite unthinkable...circumstances must be quite 
desperate...we all know some of the deals that Ken has put together and some of 
us have heard about them with mouths watering.

Until we hear all the facts we will not know the circumstances...as for trying 
to hang on to some of his posters...well I ask you all if you were in the same 
predicament, if you had to face the music and owned Invisible Man, Metropolis 
and more...wouldn't you try and keep one or two or hide them?

What will be a shame is that if Grey and Heritage are under instruction to sell 
at a reasonable price the time and effort and probably money that Ken has put 
in could be dashed away.

I suppose what I am getting at is those who through stones don't live in glass 
houses. Whatever Ken has done and if it is biting him on the ass then he is now 
having to face the consequences...I would say that I bet the majority of us on 
Mopo have pretty much bought or tried to from Curlykong on ebay and we have all 
at some time had a bargain or two.

As for judging someone...no Ken never looked like the guy to own a 
Metropolis...Barack Obama never looked like a President to me!

Re: [MOPO] DS English Patient A OS?

2012-05-01 Thread phil
I've seen it a few times, and seem to get more out of it each time.
But no question, it's a polarising film - there is not much between the love it 
or hate it camps, those that find it
a fascinating story of unconditional love and those that think it's a cold and 
sterile film.

For some reason I have yet to fathom, it certainly seems to press some buttons 
in people, and not in a positive way for them.
Perhaps they knew someone who went flying with a corpse.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
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 it sold on eMovieposter for the $264 asking 
price, you would pay a 28% commission, or almost $74 - which isn't horrible 
compared to other sites. But if you sold it on MoviePosterExchange.com for that 
price you would only pay a $26.40 commission and even if it cost you $11 to 
send it to us, your effective rate would still be about half that of 
eMovieposter.com



And again, we do appreciate the offer you gave us to list items on our site -

Re: [MOPO] OT: Disney expects $120 million operating loss due to 'John Carter.'

2012-03-20 Thread phil
ERB... rather sounds like something one should say, pardon me after

So Disney, in their wisdom, thought that the word MARS was a no-no to box 
office due to a few previous flops with Mars in the title... it's the word, not 
that they were crap films.
And so, they have a film named JOHN CARTER, like lots of people know who John 
Carter is, what he does and where he goes.

I'd like to introduce our American friends to the term BOOFHEAD... that a short 
OO not a long O.

I hate to say it, and I know some might doubt it, but it is clear that too many 
marketing people in the film industry these days are boofheads.

Me, I can't wait to see JOHN CARTER OF MARS. But then, I like a good ERB 
pardon me.

I wonder how much the negative buzz that preceded the film - turned out to be a 
self-fulfilling prophecy for some. It seems the industry loves a loser as much 
as it loves a winner. But there's no doubt that the women I know - had near 
zero interest to see this picture. In the industry trades, I kept reading about 
how the film ended up skewing toward older men, as in WAY older men, not just 
simply the over 25s. -d.

Disney's $200 Million Charge
'John Carter' Proves a HugeLoss for Disney,
Spurs New Focus on Cutting Costs
By ERICA ORDEN FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

WaltDisney Co. expects to lose $200 million on its science-fiction epic 
JohnCarter, the company said on Monday, citing the costly movie's 
weakbox-office performance.
As a result, Disney added, itsmovie studio is expected to report an operating 
loss of between $80 million and$120 million for its fiscal second quarter, 
ending March 31. Disney won'treport its earnings for the quarter until May, and 
rarely offers such advancefinancial guidance.
The studio recorded an operatingprofit of $77 million during the same quarter 
last year—even though that periodincluded another big-budget flop, Mars Needs 
Moms.
John Carter, which costmore than $250 million to make and an additional $100 
million to market, hasbeen a box-office bomb, particularly in the U.S., where 
its cumulative domesticearnings total $53.2 million during its first 10 days in 
theaters. The moviehas fared somewhat better abroad, grossing $130.8 million 
outside the U.S. andCanada since its March 9 opening. But those results are 
disappointing for afilm that was one of the studio's most expensive in years.
It certainly didn't meet theexpectations of what I wanted or what I needed, 
Disney Studios ChairmanRich Ross said in an interview last week.
The film, about a Civil War veterantransported to a planet populated by alien 
creatures called Tharks, came inthird in the weekend's box-office ticket sales 
results, behind rivals 21Jump Street and Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.
In addition to its significantexpense, John Carter suffered from an array of 
handicaps, includinga lack of recognizable stars—the film featured actors 
Taylor Kitsch and LynnCollins, neither of whom are household names—and a 
marketing campaign that waswidely considered indecipherable and visually 
unappealing.
During Disney's recent shareholdersmeeting, Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo 
brushed aside an inquiry about themovie's results, saying that it's very early 
to talk about the financialimpact of that film.
Partly in response to costlyprojects such as John Carter, Disney executives 
say they have takena tougher look at production budgets for its films, most 
notably for upcomingrelease The Lone Ranger, on which the studio halted 
production whenits projected costs had surpassed $260 million.
In a statement on Monday, thecompany emphasized the prospects of its upcoming 
films. As we lookforward to the second half of the year, we are excited about 
the upcomingreleases of 'The Avengers' and 'Brave,' which we believe have 
tremendouspotential to drive value for the Studio and the rest of the company.

OH, but I didn't tell you that I take the good with the bad. (And the irony is 
I was born in Japan but moved to the U.S. later, hence my appreciation for 
America in ways indigenous Americans sometimes take for granted.) I can 
understand about 30% of spoken Japanese (and can do a mean imitation of my 
Mom), but can't speak nor read it. (However, I do know how to differentiate 
written or spoken Japanese vs. Chinese, Korean or any other Asiatic language, 
EASY.) The bad: Outside of the merchant class, I get treated by others as if 
I'm an Aryan from the Far East, not flattering. During the 1980s, when the auto 
industry was decimated by Japanese imports, we saw bumper stickers here that 
said, I'D RATHER EAT SHIT THAN DRIVE A J** TRUCK. But then, we all look alike 
hence there are times when I'm mistaken for Chinese or Vietnamese. Every once 
in a while, someone will mutter the word, g**k, a word so funny that I can't 
help but laugh when I hear it. Doesn't feel like an insult, I'm sorry. One 
truism that does stick however, is we know how to make cars, but can't drive 
worth a damn. I point to my family as exhibit A.

TOUCHÉ, Adrian! (Pretty funny.) Some of my pals report the surly behavior

and Americans refuse to learn French - and/or because of bad manners from Brit 
soccer fans reflecting poorly on Anglo-philes in general. But what cracks me up 
when I'm overseas - is I've NEVER (obviously) - been mistaken as an American. 
Either I'm an annoying Asian with a camera who strayed from a pack at 
Disneyland - (which annoys other tourists more than merchants) - or I'm a high 
roller who works for Sony or Toshiba. I always get sumptuous treatment from 
merchants because I'm mistaken for a person with money who's a big tipper. (I 
am a good tipper, though.) When I'm handed Japanese language menus or 
approached by a clerk who speaks Japanese, I sometimes apologize and say, no, 
Américain or Anglais. They then apologize - but then there's a noticeable 
drop-off in expectation afterward, so I pick and choose when to blow my

On February 24, 1995 the first MoPo post was distributed via American 
University’s listserv. For a few weeks prior to that date, the original MoPo 
members simply cc’d their e-mail messages to the other 11 people in the group. 
In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to recognize those 11:



Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan 
Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, myself (your 
humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555—who for the first time I can finally 
identify as Jeff Static. For years I was unsure of Static555’s real name, but 
by digging through the early MoPo archives I finally stumbled upon his true 
identity. Michael, Rob and Evan are still members.



Thanks to you all for keeping MoPo alive these 17 years even in the face of a 
lot of competition from those more graphically-enhanced discussion boards. Also 
a big thanks to American University for the use of their ever-reliable listserv 
system, a dinosaur that they continue to support. And thanks to the original 11 
who got MoPo off to a fine start way back in 1995.

A dealer who I haven't seen in a long time maybe he's not around anymore

told me to ignore him because he was an A**hole.

These are great. It's very true that there is EXPLOITATION and then there is

You might get better exposure for these if they were on the US site rather than

He said that if we did this, and that if Todd authenticated them, that hewould 
publicly apologize for accusing us of selling questionable rolledone sheets 
from the late 60's and 70's. We agreed to humor him, so we sent some in to be 
authenticated. We asked rick SEVERAL TIMES publicly here on mopo which posters 
of ours thathe thought were questionable.as we would have gladly sent in 
any thathe requested. HE NEVER RESPONDED. He would not specify which of our 
posters he thought were questionable. Why?I have no idea. We even asked all of 
mopo if anyone else thought any of our posters werequestionable...and no 
one responded..so the only one person whothinks some may be 
questionable..is rick..and again.he won'teven specify which ones! 
The ones we sent were: The Italian Job 1969 2 color ROLLED printer's

Star Wars ROLLED 1sh first printing 77/21-0 All 4 came back with an MP Grading

disclosurean interesting thing. The actual paper test results onthe Italian 
Job Printers's Proof came back saying something to the effect ofinconclusive,

discussing it with Todd we both pretty much agreed that justby looking at the 
poster and its age, and the fact that it has an NSS stampon the back, and the 
fact that it from the same find where every posterthis guy had was from 
1968-1972, and that no other proof like this one hasever surfacedthat it is

Hello all,

 I just had a note from Robert Perry at Spotlight Displays that one of our own 
has passed away. Susan Olsen was a very gifted restorer that I know many of you 
had used for your collections as she would send the posters down to me for 
framing afterwards.
Not sure if anyone else had posted something to the group about this, but I did 
want to make you aware of it. She use to be a very active participant in our 
conversations here on the MoPo group back in the day. Quite the fireball, she 
always had very strong opinions and a quick wit. She made me laugh quite a few 
times, raucously!! Sad news as she was only 52.

I don't understand why you wouldn't start them at a price you are not 
comfortable receiving.
If you are not prepared to sell it for 40, don't list it for 40. You always 
take a risk of getting less than you want doing so.

Anywho, most (if not all) ebay buyers these days snipe, so you are highly 
unlikely to see any action until you get to the last few seconds before they 
end.
And us poster collecting vultures even wait until after the auction ends to 
say, see it didn't sell...why not sell to me for 30.

So, it's a catch 22...if you end them early, you miss out the bids most likely 
to come right at the end of the auction.
If you don't end them early, you risk em selling for below what you are willing 
to let them go for :(

Why not list them at a fixed price, and provide the best offer option?
Post links to your auctions on the various movie poster forums...

My two cents,

 Hey guys...

 I've put several posters up on eBay which I KNOW are worth a bundle

 Although I know they are worth more, I started the bidding at about £40.00
 GBP.

 Now they HAVE attracted attention. I have received several private messages
 asking to sell quick and end the auction (which I have respectfully
 declined) and the top two currently have a lot of watchers... however they
 have yet to attract a single bid.

 My worry is that they will end up going for WAY under their selling price
 due to the unpredictability of the eBay system.

 Although it would protect my valuable posters, I was told that putting
 reserves on posters can scare bidders away.

 I'm even tempted to cancel the auction at the weekend, rather than lose my
 valuable items to auction tactics. (I'm not being greedy... I just don't
 want to be ripped off)

 Please give me some advice on this, as I'm NOT a dealer, but times are hard
 and I need these posters to reach at least their average value!

 Cheers

As a dealer, I am also constantly buying and have been very active the last 6 
months or so, buying quite literally many one-off posters from many different 
sellers, both on ebay and off 99% of the time, it's all satisfactory. There 
are the items that are far better than described, the ones that are accurately 
described, and the very occasional - maybe 1 in a 100 that has missed abit of 
reasonably vital condition info... but certainly not a deal breaker. 99% of the 
sellers/dealers are great at packing, and 1% - if that - approach packing as if 
they had no idea what happens to a parcel once it drops through the slot. There 
were a couple of near misses... one rolled poster was sent in a lightweight 
tube that was damned lucky not to be crushed. What was the point of giving teh 
guy a negative for crap packing or reducing his star rating and damaging what 
is otherwise a good rep? I just sent him a note to say that it might be time to 
look at the strength of his packing.

Everything Rich said is spot on. It's just common sense.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] 4 extra folds? 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 extra undisclosed 
folds

the only thing I have to ask is this:

is someone allowed to make a mistake once in a while - and apologize for it + 
offer refund - without being excoriated by a buyer  publicly lambasted?

I don't know who the seller is, but his response seemed to be very fair. 
Myself, I might have asked if the seller was going to be paying return postage 
for a mis-described item and I'm certain, with as reasonable as his email 
response was, that he would have agreed (or she).

as to the comment Michael made:
the fact that you said one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing, and 
there is no one overseeing the process, doesn't exude confidence to buy 
expensive items from you. accurate descriptions is so very important.

I think that's hitting someone below the belt Michael. In the case of myself 
and Anna, my secretary Anna comes in on her own time. She has a key and my 
alarm codes to go to the office when she wants to to do her work. Currently, 
because she lives on the far west side of town, and her son goes to a school at 
the far East side of town (by her choice) she comes to the office after she 
drops him off and works from morning until she needs to leave at about 2:30 to 
pick him up from school.

I on the other hand am a vampire. I get in between 1 and 2pm. So our cross-over 
time is a very small window, and only 4 days a week, so it is very easy for me 
to not know what she is doing. Fortunately she does a great job, I trust her 
and I don't need to know what she's doing 99.9% of the time

People are not perfect Michael, including yourself and as long as a dealer is 
acting in a reasonable and fair manner, I don't think they need to be derided 
by customers having fits over what is a minor issue if it doesn't entail any 
serious complications and what the dealer said to you is nothing like the 
horse's ass I'm dealing with right now

I bought a Monroe color photo from someone .. and again, the item only sold for 
$1, probably because his shipping is $10.95 (I don't know why, 99.9% of all my 
problems with sellers on fleaBay are for inexpensive items). well for the 
$10.95 in shipping this horse's ass got, he put the photo in a padded envelope 
with no freakin cardboard expecting his do not bend means something, plus of 
course it only cost $4.95 to send so he's treating shipping as a revenue 
stream. anyway, the photo is useless now. I messaged him.. no response, so I 
filed a complaint with PP and he says he'll give a refund ONLY IF I PAY TO 
RETURN THE PHOTO

these two situations are 1000% different

naturally I messaged this fool what is about to happen (that I will leave 
feedback appropriate for this transaction)

no bigger.. just another fleaBay schmuck willing to sacrifice his rep for a few 
dollars. it's called a lack of moral character

i was happy to see that the seller read my posting on MOPO, and responded, but 
he needs to confirm that he will pay the return postage.

  A thread about 'lesser' titles is a good one.  In some ways I'm 
grateful that my Night Train To Munich (1940) 1sh has a rather prosaic, muted,

One of the best parts of this hobby is that for every $1000 poster 
there are hundreds of hidden gems for less than $100.  Often these are lesser 
titles with great stars, lesser images from great films, historic (or dated) 
titles have lost their appeal, or great artwork from obscure films or by great 
artists.

I feel that these titles really add depth to good collection -- and 
have been adding them over the years to mine.

In general I would not bring these to your attention (for the 
obvious reason that I don't to bid against you), however one of my favorites is 
at Heritage this week -- perhaps the most affordable James Montgomery Flagg 
poster available (read more about this incredible illustrator at: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Montgomery_Flagg), and see the poster at:


http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=161134lotNo=54402lotIdNo=19016

Happy collecting.

Re: [MOPO] an eBay lobby card purchase - your opinion?

Leaving a neg at this stage seems rather a drastic move, when nothing has been 
resolved.

I have dealt with these folks for several years and only have the highest 
respect for them.

If you are not happy with the item, then I am sure they will give you a refund 
with no questions asked.

Not sure why such a minor issue between a buyer and seller has been even raised

Hello again,
You should all know that when I wrote to the seller last Sunday, I did 
not ask to return the card nor did I ask for a refund. I wrote of my 
disappointment that the description and photo in the listing did not accurately 
describe what I received. I would have been happier and I would not have 
written about the transaction in this forum if only the seller had taken the 
time to write to me with an apology. 

I was a bit disappointed to see that a link to the listing was provided 
publicly in this forum. 

This was the wrong thing to do especially since I made a point of not 
doing it in the initial message.

That said, I do feel that there was deception here based on the 
description and the photograph. I will probably give her a negative shortly.

Thanks for your thoughts.

You guys are so full of it. You buy the 8 cards for DUNSTON CHECKS IN, you 
laminate them and sell them for 50 bucks as a set of kids party place
mats. Sheesh. And I thought Americans were entrepreneurs.

  I loved this part Helmut:

  eBay's transaction team will be conducting two tests to our site on bid 
increments. There was analysis done where in 22% of auctions, where there was 
proxy bid placed, the final selling price of the item did not max out the proxy 
bid. There will be two variants running and two control groups. The first 
variant test will increment the bid increment by 2x the current increment and 
the second test variant will increase the bid amount by 3x the current 
increment.


  between postal fees going up, ebay fees slapping sellers, and large bid 
increments.. where's the love?

Re: [MOPO] ebay is charging fees on shipping??????????????????????????????????????????????

2011-05-07 Thread Phil Edwards
If there has never been a real alternative to eBay (as in successful) in all 
the years that eBay has been going, then I doubt very much that it will happen 
now.

Sad but true.

As for a site dedicated to posters, surely both HA, BH and RH fill the void, 
each in their own ways.

  This is pretty old news (as far as the announcement at least).

  Pretty soon someone will start a real alternative to ebay, and I think poster 
dealers and collectors will flock to it.

HI from Joe B in NOLA

I am a member of Blu-Ray.com and let me advise you to go there right 
away and locate MnTwister's articles-- easy to find.  Check the News section.
The two he's done so far -- on The Ten Commandments and Once Upon a 
Time in the West-- are absolutely fascinating. It's great to have such a film 
scholor on MOPO.

  Sorry I forgot to add that I am interested also in pressbook lots. I 
am interested in many more titles than I listed in my post a few minutes ago. 
Please send lists, or lot lists with price. I do not re-sell, I am a pressbook 
addict who just loves them, have about 11,000 and always looking for more. 
Should I buy a lot, I would sell the ones I do not have. Any source for 
pressbooks would be great. 

  There's a seller on Ebay who gets his pressbooks from auctions in 
bulk. One was a New York Auction, the other he says he now found a huge batch 
of 1930's in northern Nebraska, how does one find these lots?

  Unfortunately I am disabled and cannot go to many of the trade shows, 
but are there any that usually have alot of pressbooks? Maybe I could make it 
there. I am new to MOPO and the world of buying pressbooks outside of Ebay, so 
thanks for all your help and wisdom.

  I write a column for Blu-ray.com called The Silver Screen and while I 
don't get much pay for it, but I love doing it I use these. 

  Here is a link to my first 2 columns there:

  Ten Commandmentshttp://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=6005

  Once Upon a Time in the West:  http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=6245

  Please keep me in mind should you come across anything pressbook 
related such as lots, ect. Thanks so much  (from a pressbook lover, Rob) :-)
