Hello Andrea and all...
John Kisch's MOVIE POSTER PRICE ALMANAC 2003 lists an Insert for BUTCH
CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID (1969) selling on eBay in 7/02 for $59.00.
It is my recollection that the studios generally did away with Inserts,
Half Sheets and Lobby Cards in the mid-80s.
As for fig
Hi Dave et al.
Back in the early 70s, I uncovered a stash of lobby cards under a row
of seats in an abandoned theater dating from the 20s through 1936.
In the research I did at the time I uncovered the following information
on the creation of Lobby Displays (Lobby Cards, Half Sheets and

I join the chorus in urging you to leave things as they are. Let the
Archives evaporate and we'll focus on the present.
Many thanks for all the time you put in to keep the dialog flowing.

Go east, young man!
The annual Cinefest in Syracuse, NY, a 4 day event in March, boasts
great films in both 16 and 35mm, plus two dealers' rooms inhabited by
such poster luminaries as Zeev Drach and Stephen Sally. People arrive
by air and auto from all over the world to attend. Lake
Hello Gordon...
After numerous attempts, I have found that this system works for me.
Set the slide up so it is standing vertically. I've cut a board with a
groove, into which the slide can be inserted to hold it in place. The
board is painted black, so it will not show in the photo. A piece
Congratulations and many thanks, Scott...

Well now, Simon, I don't know about that...
As a buyer, I like to watch items that I'm interested in all week.
It's handy to have the list on one page when bidding time comes around
so I make serious choices on what action to take. Depending on the
status of my bank account at that moment of tr

Hello everyone...
I have found the discussions of the last few weeks to be most
entertaining and enlightening.
The lively response to postings on BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN and "Your First
Poster" show the power of the movies (and their ancillary materials) to
open us up to topics which we wouldn't ordi
Hello all...
In my experience in having an account at the Boston, MA, NSS from 1948
to 1985 (when it closed), the Inserts and Half sheets were stored flat
and shipped rolled.
As a teenager in the summer of 1952, I was employed by my local movie
house as an usher and general gofer. One of my job

Hello Mark and all...
My first introduction to movie glass slides was in the mid-80s when,
during a visit to Los Angeles, a friend of mine had them displayed,
mounted inside the glass door of a Victorian cabinet (originally
designed for the display of plates and other bric-a-brac), illuminated

Dear Scott:
I hope by now that you have realized how vital MoPo is to all of us in
this group. I guess at times it takes an attack to bring us together.

Hello Ethan...
