Hello Everybody, Just a heads-up for our weekly eBay auctions. With between 8 hours and 6 days to go, we have over 250 original stills and press items, many of the latter from French releases and therefore featuring mini-versions of French poster art. The 200 plus original stills include 8x10 l

As THE MUMMY was the only one of the Universal horror classics not banned from Australian TV in the 50s and 60s, it was the one that I saw first - ahead of DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN and assorted sons, daughters and brides... Having been long in the thrall of the musty history of ancient Egypt, TH

One solution is to create a sub folder in your local folders for MOPO emails. That way all MOPO emails go straight to that sub-folder, not to the main inbox. One can then quickly sort through the emails, deleting the ones from people you don't want to read from, decide which FA/FS or WTBs you w

Ron - I think posting direct FS to MOPO is a good idea, nothing wrong with it at all. So long as posts are labeled as Scott has requested as FA, FS, etc, then why not? It's direct target audience selling and if Scott as list owner doesn't have a problem with it then I don't see why anyone else w

I have never heard a 40x60 called a two sheet and I'm almost as old as Kirby. Richard Dacre noted correctly corresponding British sizes. There is all sorts of odd paper out there over the years outside of the standards we know. One of the guys on NSFGE posted set of NOCTURNE lobby cards that

So-called "foreign" posters such as one, three and six sheets, produced most often by NSS and stamped on verso "Foreign" mean that they were produce for "foreign", that is non-US domestic use, that is also known as "international" (again, that is non US-domestic use). In other words, the term "

Some folks are mentioning on NSFGE that their MOPO posts are getting rejected, or they have not had any MOPO emails for days. There has been a definite rise in the use of the NDSL "greylisting" system that sees so-called spamming IPs being blocked, and at one time or another it seems everyone'
