Re: [MOPO] Deposition transcripts

Holiday, Because this lawsuit has such a negative impact on our hobby, we were trying to keep our members apprised of what was going on. But you are absolutely right -- I should have never posted it. We thought that our members (who are the only ones with access) read and understood the guideli

Re: [MOPO] What's up with moviegoods.com?

Hi Roland, This case is still proceeding through the federal court in California. The latest filings were in February and March and they were requests to substitute counsel on behalf of Movie Goods. Disney initially filed this lawsuit in July but the first assigned judge recused himself from

Re: [MOPO] OT TO: JOE, MARTY, ED AND SUE

There are very few times when I'm left without words -- Ed can attest to that. But watching the game last night, surrounded by my family, I could not find words to express my feelings. Our two grown children decided to watch the game with me because they didn't know what I'd do if we won. I'm af

Re: [MOPO] Outed at last - Avoid this LAMP approved dealer

When you make an accusatory statement such as this on a public forum you should first know all the facts and not present just part of them -- in all fairness to the parties involved. I can only assume that you are referring to the "convoluted transaction" that transpired a year ago between Gresham

Re: [MOPO] Help Please with Italian JAMES BOND posters....original release or...

Hi Paul and Tom, I asked Ed to take a quick look at these for you and here is his response: The Goldfinger is an 1980s release. CIC closed in 1981 due to MGM buying UA and creating a contract conflict so UIP was created to replace CIC. The Dr. No and the Thunderball are both reissues. The qu

I'm still not sure what Bruce and several others mean when they want to know where the sale came from. I will offer what I have gleaned from the records. Magid v. Haggard According to the lawsuit, Magid traded 20 original lobby cards to Haggard in exchange for 9 pieces. Magid is alleging that

Re: [MOPO] A sad day for us all..

This truly is a sad day but I would like to remind everyone that nothing has been proven other than the fact that these posters are fake. If you read the allegations, particularly those in Paragraphs 14 and 15 of the complaint that relate to Mendez, there is, in my opinion, a rather large jump to

Re: [MOPO] Fake Horror Lobby Cards AND posters

Greetings, This is really a sad state of affairs. While the criminal aspect of this situation is still under investigation as far as we know, a civil lawsuit has recently been filed. Even though we have known about it for several months, we felt that it should not be addressed until something o
