Re: [MOPO] Polish THE RAVEN and other Polish posters

One of my favourite Polish posters! It was one of the last from my first "collection" that I let go. Since then, "the private collection" has been in a a contsnat state of flux and movement, as it is with most dealers, I suspect. A couple of years back when we bought 400 Polish posters, Mila and

Actually I looked back on all this. I bought this collection - some 1200 posters, including 400 movie titles in 1986, not 1990 as I wrote. Nobody in the U.S. wanted them that I knew. I sold them in about 91 - 92. The majority of them were for plays, ballets, concerts, zoo, etc. I thought th

There was a big boom in Polish posters among the cognescenti of the US/UK poster collecting world in the late 70s, especially when anything was difficult to get out of Eastern Bloc countries of the time. My source then was an airline steward on trips from Poland. He made several trips and he st

Interesting discussion. I have some Mexican lobby cards, mostly from Karloff's last quartet of films. But doesn't that make sense because of the "country of origin?" Nathalie On Sun, Jun 27, 2010 at 7:03 PM, wrote: > Hey, > > I've had an original Mexican COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LUIS BUNUEL 1-Sh

I bought a selection of great Polish posters in 1990 including at least four or five that have sold for multi-thousand dollar prices. I could not GIVE them away. Seriously. Nobody wanted them and I sold almost all of them in a lot to a dealer in Chicago. He flew to Austin to gather them up.

The problem with the Mexican lobby cards is that there so many of them, and there are more coming every day across the border, most of them illegally. Many of the cards are guided across the border by "Coyotes", for a hefty fee, and often arrive in this country in terrible shape. As far as I ca
