Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

[Richard Halegua Posters + Comic Art]

Tommy

naturally today being my "auction day" and the most people will be 
visiting the site I have been watching the Live Stats all day.


right now is the prime time for International bidders to be involved 
(hours to go, they are still awake) and I can tell you that 80-90% of 
the bidders on the site are USA bidders.


Clearly this fact is the determinative factor in choosing what time 
auctions should end for a USA site


right now aside from domestic bidders, I have people on from Africa, 
Asia and Down Under.

surprisingly, at this moment no European bidders are on

I understand your complaint, but I'm not sure how it could be 
resolved without disenfranchising the majority of bidders, which are 
here in teh USA

Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

[Bruce Hershenson]

All of the above is correct.And Tommy, I do agree that U.K. buyers tend to
buy a lot of U.,S. posters, both because they are in English and because
you can't find virtually any pre-1970 U.K. posters
.
But otherwise I find that most French collectors prefer French posters,
Japanese collectors prefer Japanese posters, German collectors prefer
German posters, etc. and most U.S. collectors prefer U.S. posters.

"Prefer", not "buy exclusively"!

Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

[Toochis Morin]

This American will always buy foreign paper over US if the image is nicer. 

I'm still trying to buy a French DARK PASSAGE, CASABLANCA and any KING KONG if 
I can afford it. So I'll keep dreaming. 

The Haunting - French is great as is Planet of the Apes and the Japanese 
Apocalypse Now. 

I love German and Swedish silents to 1930s which I have a few. The art is 
lovely. One of my faves:  Kiss Before The Mirror.

Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

[Adrian Cowdry]

In my humble opinion and my experience US Buyers are not big fans of foreign 
language posters - there are exceptions of course and I will not put forward 
examples but even if the art is far superior many US collector/buyers do not 
like to buy European language posters. 

There are exceptions of course but for example say Magnum Force - the quad is 
far superior to the US One sheet yet the Americans will only buy the US. There 
is this inherent country of origin mentality.Most movies are of course US made 
- Seven Year Itch will always be American Paper yet the UK DC is far batter 
than any US paper. 

There are some recent discoveries in Italy of some awesome titles which when 
they emerge will have tongues out yet many American collectors will over look 
these posters - For me this is a travesty that makes people blind to the art on 
show.

A good example is Oceans 11 - the US Insert and three sheet are the better art 
world wide with the rat pack walking down sunset strip - the US one sheet is 
quite boring - the Italian Two Foglio is superb and a great study of Sinatra 
and the rat pack. Hud is another the Italian 4 Foglio is one of the best 
study's on Newman (except his eyes have been coloured brown) - but far superior 
to the US paper.

Empire Strikes Back - the Australian Daybill is the green Millinieum Falcon art 
- truly beautiful.

So I think Grey is possibly correct about doing a Sunday auction of European 
paper - but I also feel that American buyers need to be a little less narrow 
minded - yes that is a sweeping statement but the majority of the end buyers 
are a little narrow minded on this subject. The dealers are very open to the 
art on show - but if it doesn't sell then a dealer ain't gonna buy it.

OK, here's the thing - Bruce is of the opinion that having special Sunday 
auctions of non-US posters will be a benefit to European bidders. While I do 
not wish to seem ungrateful, that suggests that if you are a non-US citizen 
then you buy non -US posters. Does Bruce base that on empirical data or simply

Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

[Ron Zwarts - MotionPictureArt.com]

We prefer US posters over non-US posters unless the non-US poster has a
better/different design/artwork.
In the Netherlands (where we are from) distributors/movie theatres have
always used an eclectic mix of promotional materials from around the world
but mostly US.

Even nowadays they use a mix of US, UK, Dutch and Dutch/Belgian one sheets,
bus stops and smaller sizes for showcases together with the occasional 11x14
US and Dutch/Belgian lobby sets.

At collectors fairs we've visited in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany
prices for US posters/lobby sets are usually (a bit) higher unless you get
to the top titles and/or non-US posters that have different or far superior
artwork.

 

>From a selling standpoint, we have been selling US and non-US materials all
over the world since 1998 and we can't see a clear difference between non-US
and US buyers based on their preferences for US or non-US materials.

OK, Bruce, I accept that you have based the offer on information available to 
you. I suppose I may be exhibiting an English-speaking bias here. Also, to me 
movies are Hollywood ( a childhood memory) and so the posters which best 
reflect that are US ones, although I am occasionally tempted by some of the 
artwork on Polish posters, for example. To obtain quads for the older movies is 
also generally a more expensive proposition. As a small-time online dealer 
mainly of US one-sheets, however, I find all my clients are UK based.

Since we auction 2,000 to 3,000 items per week and we ship around 100 packages

Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

[Bruce Hershenson]

I agree. I think it is only natural for many collectors to buy the posters
from the country they live in/grew up in because in addition to buying the
poster, a collector is buying memories, and they remember the poster that
was outside the theater when they went, not a poster that was exhibited in
another country. Of course there is nothing wrong with going beyond this
thinking and getting the best posters regardless of country, but my
experience is that not all that many collectors do this.

Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

[filip de volder]

A lot of poster collectors collect posters from their own country , in my 
auctions US posters are mainly bought by US buyers , belgian posters mainly by 
belgian collectors  etc ...  some people will collect an actor/actress or a 
genre and may have a special interest in foreign  released posters but the 
general movie poster collector tends to buy the items released in his country 
...
same goes for a lot of collectible things , like vinyl records , UK collectors  
will be more after the first UK release of  a record , unless they're totally 
into a band and then they'll want foreign releases with different picture 
sleeves too ... 
This is not an exact science , it's like saying germans have no sense of humour 
or that the dutch  would bite a 10 cent coin in two to have 2 coins .

Thanks for the input, Alan, but from what you say it would appear you are not 
European and also basing your opinion on very narrow criteria. I really would 
like as many non-US subscribers as possible to give a view here.

not wish to seem ungrateful, that suggests that if you are a non-US citizen 
then you buy non -US posters. Does Bruce base that on empirical data or simply 
geographical assumption? Although UK based I mainly collect US poster formats, 
with the occasional Daybill or Quad. I would be very interested to hear from 
other non-US bidders as to whether or not they agree with  Bruce's view.

Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

[Bruce Hershenson]

Tommy, there *IS *a much higher percentage of non-U,S, buyers on non-U.S.
items, and and a much lower percentage of non-U,S, buyers on U.S.lobby
cards and one-sheets.

Of course, there are many U.S. collectors who buy non-U.S. items and vice
versa, but we are talking overall.

Since we auction 2,000 to 3,000 items per week and we ship around 100
packages each day, we certainly have a large enough sample size!

[MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters

OK, here's the thing - Bruce is of the opinion that having special Sunday
auctions of non-US posters will be a benefit to European bidders. While I
do not wish to seem ungrateful, that suggests that if you are a non-US
citizen then you buy non -US posters. Does Bruce base that on empirical
data or simply geographical assumption? Although UK based I mainly collect
US poster formats, with the occasional Daybill or Quad. I would be very
interested to hear from other non-US bidders as to whether or not they
