year i was tringtoget my bill lowered and they raiased it thentold me 
theywould deduct10 ofthe bill ifi did autopay..thenwheni call

ed a woman said i was ineligable\

I personally believe the war goingon is cyberwars with corps geting 
ransom wared by hackers they freeze the computers andunlock after being 
paid aa ransom someinthe millions.



thelayman like me are being bambozeled by the hackers forsmall moneu but 
seniors on fixed incole are being ransacked by the hackers they seem to 
be in china, russia, India, middle east, and even south america as most 
companys jobbed out custmer service..my cab dispatchis in SERBIA...


many companys asked us to gopaperless to save treees..yet try togetyour 
info on past invoices and theywill say it cannot be found
 everyone is blaming government ,economy..the warning about this was 
talked aboutina book calleed lights out by news manTED Koppel years ago


as they can getinto the electric gridd Gas and all utilities 
waterdepratment
I was asked to get smart meters thatit would save money... theyare 
vulnerable as all are on computer contral as weel as phones areon 
sattilites ,,that can be disrupted.. what to do


myanswer is to pray andprepare some food, some water and supplie like 
meds..andthe summer could be justas bad as winter,,,have back up like 
blankets and thinkifthe grid goes down then what.?? other then food and 
water as ifthebanks get froze money wont be a answer.. Only kindness 
andlove will save youand God...and those that are kindand love 
others


One store in Toledo is selling ammo ontvand ak47 rifles and you can

No, not “One-Way Passage…” TCM repeated “Carnival Story”
instead of “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid at 8 pm ET—Carnival Story
had already run at 6 pm. TCM announced on social media that they had
technical difficulties which prevented the “DMDWP” showing. A few
days later another goof occurred when the first half of a movie was
shown out of frame (the top of the image appeared at the bottom of the
screen). I can’t recall the title.

Seems there have been more “technical issues” in the last month
than I’ve EVER seen on TCM.

Not sure. Forty Guns is showing complete with wrap-arounds on TCM on
Demand. That's where I saw it. It happened a few weeks ago too. They
didn't show Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaidbut they did air the
Wrap-Arounds back to back then I believe they showed One-Way Passage!

TCM has been getting very sloppy the last year or so.

[MOPO] Mopo= italians ,sicilians and hollywood and jews

2024-05-17 Thread Tom Martin

so since im ona roll...
i thoughti would mention a few things about success and money
ever notice that Italians can cry over failed pizza dough???
and that many times we put more in the art than the profits
justask Dvinci.. or others inthart field from BC to now

so Francis is fufilling his heritage//

when i sent Frank Capra a movie real time clock i made his secretary 
called me..Frank want to send you stills from Its wonderful life i 
thought wow he liked my clock..theni watched thefilm inthe start ofthe 
film they ask why God picked the Clockmaker Clarence to help George 
Bailey- James stewart I finally saw why Frank Capra was touched.//


ne was Sicilian
my heritage is Sicilian on my dad side and Italian on my mothers side so 
it fits into my family heritage


Then this year I found out that the legendary Frank Sinatra was also 
Sicilian the funny note is that one it's a wonderful life came out in 
1946 it bombed at the box office moneywise yet has been a classic ever 
since and for me what are the most touching films ever made that I have 
witnessed
I noticed a correlation between Italians passion for projects when I 
think of Italy everything from the cars clothing music and art has 
always been superb quality not based on profit margins but based on its 
ever touching quality my family's name from dad side of Palermo Sicily 
was Marotta and 15th-century artist what is the name Carlos Marratta who 
did a wonderful painting of Virgin Mary and child a school teacher gave 
me a small reprint of the paining years ago and said you could be 
related to him and when I researched Sicily it said they spelled the 
name various ways depending on what part of Sicily the family came from 
so they were variations on the spelling I thought it would be funny if I 
was related somehow to the painter
I am very thankful for my heritage and I feel a connection even though I 
never met my father who was the sergeant in the US Marine Corps during 
the Korean conflict in the 50s



I have been in touch with my cousin who still lives in Rochester New 
York and we have so much in common he was a drummer and he loves the 
Beatles and loves Italian food it's funny how you can be thousands of 
miles apart and still have a connection in your roots
So when I heard that Francis Ford Coppola is having a issue with 
distribution I thought this is the typical Italian thing because he 
obviously has great passion for his project but to convey it to the 
other people is the difficulty and when I hear the word experimental 
film it usually means this project is going to cost a lot of money but 
may not return the money somehow I see the same thought process when 
Michelangelo  negotiating the Sistine chapel or  countless sculptures 
and paintings

End of rant:)
this post intentions may get you a cupp a coffee maybeLOL

2024-05-17 Thread Tom Martin
hi Davis nytime wants to have me makea free acct to see thearticle..Iam 
paranoid ofthe traps to get the info...I didnt buy the 905 disound of 
Les paulk gibson Guitars from 899.00 to 89.-- as it seems to good to be 
true..a dealer would buy them up for that price... eventhough my2 K 1976 
les paul was stolen beforea show in 1976 i resisted as im 67andi 
dont need another guitar buti sure was tempted,,,as thatwould bea great 
deal


I felt betteri was able to resist the temptation.. Sam ash was a great 
companyin NYC but scammers could be posed as them these days whoo knows  
ina time when everone is downsizing everything..seeks honest business is 
like thinking likeyouare back inthe early days of sears whenyou got good 
customer service and good produicts\


the film just sounded to me like it may bea novel pne and Francis seemed 
to havea genuine passion..most artist who do theart fromthe heart are 
often notcommercially liked as just like Love it self its alla matter of 
each persons interpitation




justas some painters were not discovered tillafter they passed...

thats why so many artists get foumd bya handful of collectors its 
funny,,, with my own life wheni get few likes or facebook friend 
orotherplatforms i ampver joyed with love...as i figure i am touching 
nerves and souls more then when iam thepopular flavor ofthe day...as 
theonly one i hope i impress inthe big picture is not the Robots of ai


so if God approves of my banters and mumbles thats fine for me not money 
not  a million likes orshares.. butifit helps Gods plan and jesus and 
can help a few souls find peace and healing i have served my purpose in 
My mind...


I keep thinkingof King Solomon who said allis vanity and grasping for 
the wind
 with the cirrentworkld events i have no idea whats next withPolitics or 
economy or the movie industry...


I have downsized my media toa few news shows PBS and less as it help[s 
kee[ yjeanxiety lower by prayerand asking God to help those around the 
world
all i can say is just sleep and exposure to posotive things feels better 
then the negative  media so normal each day butit is hard tostop old 
habits..likesmoking, drinking,drugs..food like fast food... butit can be 
dome you justy go inreverse .it saves money spending and costs..so i try 
to cut costs and buyless. eatless... and listen to silence more and 
listen to Gods wisdome by lettingmy mind rest and allowing God to speak 
...the message i getis forgive theones that are scammers and 
respecttheones we lostand give thanks for them as i believe theywill 
meet is again in Heaven


thats about it... love is theanswer to allwars all hate and all

peace and love to all

 I've read that it's an experimental movie with more in common with

Picasso and Pollock than with Kubrick, Malick and Warhol. You're
supposed to figure out its deeper meanings on your own.

 A standing ovation at Cannes to me is the same as what happens after
every Broadway show, regardless of quality. ("Blonde" got a 14-minute
ovation at Venice and I thought it supremely overrated.) Coppola is
revered, but everything I've read - and it's a lot - indicates it's
even MORE impenetrable than the monolith in 2001, so puzzling that no
one will distribute it. It's sad for any creative to put their heart
into something, hoping it will be universally lauded when in fact,
mold-breaking art is better off made to please yourself vs. caring
what people think. He still envisions IMAX screenings and a wide
release at AMC/Regal and that's not going to happen unless a
benefactor who spent more than the $120 million Coppola bankrolled
himself - rolls the dice and puts out another misleading trailer akin
to how early audiences rushed to see "Poor Things," which experienced
a fair number of walkouts this past winter despite that movie being a
straight-forward sexual romp with surreal imagery. Not for everyone so
the hope is the rest of us will see it via a streamer. -d.

Yes, provenance is the most important thing with signed posters and
many of the signed movie posters that turn up for sale only have a
CofA which usually doesn’t prove that it was signed.

Over the years, I have had a lot of low value posters signed at The
Hollywood Show and nearly always get a photo of the actor actually
signing the poster. In my opinion, that’s the best form of provenance.
However, I would never get a valuable poster signed.

Re: [MOPO] New Autographs on vintage Posters?

2024-05-15 Thread Tom Martin

Helmut and Paul
well I think it adds a certain depth and story to theposters..

My son and ii attended the 1st star wars celebration in Denver co in 
1999.. the IRa was havinga meeting in Denver with  Charlton Heston... 
itwas a greta fatherand son memory...Tommy myson had senta portfolio 
ofhis pics as theywere looking fora kid to play Anikin skywalker,,, and 
so Lucasfilm had Tommys pics and a video demo as Anikin


I tokd some clapboards as gifts to Drew Struzanand we met Rick McCallum 
who was a producer of episode one star wars..I also brought like 5 
episode 1 one sheets with me..


 so Tommy got to meet Rickand he even called our home while we were 
still flying home as he was touched to meet my son..and he sent hima 
letter telling hime to never give up on his dreams


we also met Jake Llyod who played Anikin and would not sign mysons toy 
figures...and we saw Jarjar binks play  music and met anthony daniesl; 
c3 po..


so it was funas i was looking at the artworkd i mentioned wow Drew 
Struzan my fave poster artist and hear a giggle..It was Drew behind me.. 
i said wow its you !!!



so he talked to Tommy and said keep practicingand he signed theposters 
in silver paint pen.. it was so cool  I still have them
also itook Tommy to Detroit to meeet peter Mayhew and David Prowse ata 
comic con/// theysigned his 14 x36 insert fromtheoriginal 77 star wars
 My friend Peter Mosen was in GB part two and had a Ghostbusters 2 
signed by everyone in cast except Sigorney I gave it to Tommy

that group will never be together agiain..as Harold has passsed.
with all signings if its toa person taht can detract if its just the sig 
ita proof ofa time and place the artist have touched or been therein 
Time and for me it cements a memory..
inthe final point its the memory thats forever with my son   we werable 
to meet many music people likebootsie collins.. les Claypool. Pete Best 
, vvictor wooten, and more and the memory was the most priceless item 
fora fatherand son
he met Jerry lewis and jeff Daniels senthima signed pic as wellas 
Jerry,,Think Jerry was themost historic,,,I said one day youwill see you 
meta guy very close to Charlie Chaplin...he also met Roddy MCDowell whic 
was pure cinema historyand he even signed Tommys planet ofthe apes 
dall..
so the sgs alone can be argued about values but the personal memorys are 
foreverand priceless.

hope that helps

its memories that matter most to me

It really depends on the poster and who signs it. I have a couple of

True that Malcolm signs everything but I don’t think his signature
would really decrease the value of the ACO poster as he’s signed a
lot of them and the price would pretty much be around the same as if
the poster wasn’t signed. Only the Pelham designs would really by
hurt by adding a signature.

All the best.

one side done in white claycoat ,, d flute  299 lb test with the

if the box converter has extra pads they wil givea better deal.. you can 
also have some smaller piece made like 22 x28 and 14 x 36..and ever 
11x14 forlobbys//I used 2 11 x14 to pack folded one sheets..and i would

Hi all,

Does anyone here know the origins / story behind any of the major
window card finds? Very curious to know where / who made these finds /
how they made their way into collector's hands... this info doesn't
seem to exist anywhere online or in books

It would especially be great to hear about these finds:

1) Alhambra Theatre in Canonsburg, PA. I understand this was found by
a family in the late 70's - does anyone know who this material was
sold through?

2) Crescent Theatre Pontiac IL - this is a major one...

3) Bells Hillsboro OH - some of my favorites with that fantastic
(though sometimes unsightly) script on the top

4) Star Theatre & Captiol Theatre from Concord NH - more great cards
in great condition, tons 1927-1933

These are the major ones, but there were many more, including in MI,
MN, WI, PA, ID and the one in NY that Dwight Manley was involved
in (and was featured on Amazing Treasures). I also heard that Eric
Caidin bought a group of 10,000+ window cards that a woman drove some
distance to bring to his shop.

Somebody here must have a great story to tell about one of these
finds...

I read a story, maybe in one of Jon Warren's books, about a pet store
that was using window cards for cage liners. Hoping none of my cards
were a part of that one!

Best,

Garth

Re: [MOPO] The best money I EVER spent was on Internet advertising in 2006!

2024-04-21 Thread Tom Martin

interesting Thought Bruce

In my experience Ive Found sometimes God allows us To Go Backwards in 
order to go forward..
the adversity gives usabilitys we never planned by the experience we 
learn over many many trials


I only had 10K mailing lust after advertising years each person paid 1-2 
to get my[a[er catalogs inthe 80s.. andi advertising about 199K in 
magazines. papersand locallyon Nbc TV..
the residual effect is interesting as i also put labels on the Products 
we made
so wheni look on ebay many times i see items i made in like 1980s being 
re-sold still on ebay that people bought years ago..so the brand namehas 
lasted even tho ive been through several times of extreme Loss, illness  
anda divorce..and financial loss.. ievenlosty my [aid off Home...and a 
foot... so i get it


But by grace of God and friends andthings i dont fully understand  I 
callmiracles
I got a home and slowly been getting on track..for some purpose only God 
knows..as Jerry weintraub said:: after he lost all he had,,a movie 
studioandthis guy did the Elvis shows, Sinatra, Oh God with John Denver, 
The oceans films.. Led Zepplin and so much maoer Karate kid..

He was  jewish booking agent son ofa jewler i Think Brooklyn New york

his book youll know im dead wheni stop talking..
I felt was a primer for mylife as i was always talking and still do 
about Ideas that some timess seem crazy like startinga moie memorabilia 
shop and mail orderin 1977 as people thoughti was crazy as why in Toledo 
and at the time ther were justa handful of shopsin Hollywood...


when we atsrtted i didnt even havea casj registar..justa news 
paperboychanger and a box of folded one sheets .yeti had 1000 of 
Magazines as i saved up a garafge full of stuffas i had a vision ofthe 
shop while i had another home..so it was a small visionand plan..
then i found many lots of stuff,,colections, films as ilikes projectors 
cameras. andstufflike theter seats olsd movie lights... cinema stuff, 
books, records.. and anything related tothe biz...
and the manufacturing was a accident.. iplanned on just gatheringother 
makers goods and imade a kiosk to offer posters. mugs tshirts, signs and 
hollywood related stuff..
I got them in a local video store chain but the owner tried to orderwhat 
he thought would sell and nota varied inventory


Collectors are different then Loe public.. retailers like ON cue and 
Musicland tried to offer similar mixes and they had Toys too and limited 
edition but the market has always been veryodd as die jard collector 
swant scarce like the rare stuff but average joe justwants a 
reprint..and so i offerd a middle varied for everyone from Novice 
collectors with some sprinkled in cool memorabilia.. as i would find old 
warehouse stock of vintage items like Gumbys  from 60s or Jame bond 
toys.. even music and tin a sci fi dolls..and a few genuine props from 
films and yv,,and autographs,,, etc,,etc.,


so i think it still can work how i did it but would need to package the 
items for display so a investment into displays, and inventory control.. 
warehouse. and the proper methods of  the labels with the  codes to keep 
control over the inventory...anda brickandmorter facility..to facilitate 
the venture,,ina way i already tested the concept back inthe90s so i 
know itwaorks and byadding the manufacturing and also mail ordder 
allowed diiefert streams of cash flow...it did take employess to man the 
operation and in regards to clerks they need to know film history of 
artist,,now theycan google it.. back then we needed to know or call a 
expert on the phone...
 I think i could offer a plan to unite all the sources to do it im just 
now 67 and still healing i dont need to do itandilive ..debt free and 
its been great andiam not trying to impress ..butilovetosee creative 
projects and i reallylike whenit helps others and has a good opportunity 
for others..and can help other dreamers or causes or non profits...and 
its just fun tosee peope happyand kids discover themovie industry and 
inspire them to dream as far as profits..well i made the studios lots of 
money with myproducts... so i guess it would surprise me thelong term
But Jerry said his lesson at the end was is its about God family and 
friends and i agree..thats the best part of all this..but it can get 
very confusing as i made some decisions that were not to good on health, 
money ,and my personal relationships///
seems we all have the same journey in the end..as no one leaves with a 
U-haul behind the hearse
so help all we can before its time to exit stage left,,, just ask all 
the stars that have learned that

Re: [MOPO] Storing lobby cards

2024-03-15 Thread Tom Martin
Hi Richard i remeber you for Books however if money is no issue ther are 
archival storage unitrs withacid free  propertys... you can get boxes of 
lesser cost from Bags unlimited in Rochester new york i always just used 
common Boxes like letterbox as the costwas less.. I bet Morrie Everett 
would know as he has the worlds largest collectionof Lobbies in the 
world i neversaw his shop but bet he found cabinets to store them...
I did learn wheni visited thepoop culture dept of BG state university 
how they had low odor as theystored comics and various paper record 
albums and poster and other stuffi thought they had a secret solution 
tostop the zMold and acid..what they did andi do is use simple cat 
little the clay based kind..if you immerse any ppaper goods for say 1 to 
2 months it absorbs theoderof musty books .records and paper it's also 
used in film preservation because celluloid bass film gives off a acid 
that's referred to as vinegar syndrome in the motion picture industry 
the clay inside a cotton container is called a molecular sieve the kitty 
litter in the self collects the acid order off the film and the same 
thing happens when Paul paper breaks down it releases a similar acidity 
and so the kitty litter absorbs it and makes it neutralized no great 
chemicals or anything just simple kitty litter I actually met the man 
who invented kitty litter his name was Edward lowe he's in Cassopolis
He became a multi billionaire off the brand names kitty litter and tidy 
cat the clay was originally used for drilling in the oil industry had 
discovered by his secretary because in the old days people used sawdust 
for cat litter but the cat would track in the sawdust into the home or 
carpet so Edward discovered that the kitty litter made out of the clay 
granules was the answer and he also helped me when I had a trademark 
dispute in the 80s because he told me that he had several lawsuits to 
protect his trademarks with the Parina dog chow company and many people 
on the pane called me and Christmas Eve one year and told me not to give 
up along with a man named Bernard Cruz you know who is the man also who 
invented the technology for friction was magnetic audiotape used in all 
the aircraft for the black box
Bernie Cousino was also from Toledo and he was good friends with ad lol 
both gentlemen where inventors Bernard worked on all the animatronics 
from Walt Disney and he was the one who made a lot of the audio devices 
for all the Epcot center animatronics so that they could talk Bernie 
also invented the teddy Ruxpin technology and he was part of the Addison 
Institute down in Fort Myers Florida this gentleman advised me to not 
give up to the infringers who were trying to steal my federal trademark 
back in the 80s and 90s because Bernie was in his 90s and was still in 
litigation over the teddy Ruxpin inventors are interesting bunch of 
fellows and I gave a talk at the George Eastman house Rochester New York 
sometime in the 90s I had to speak for a international group of motion 
picture in picture collectors of
 I had to speak for a international group of motion picture in picture

also made follow spots for use in theaters in Arena's Frank Sinatra had 
it written in his contract that he would use the super trooper follow

actual bulb he won a technical achievement Academy award for that 
convention who is a fantastic man to talk to and he gave me some of his 
materials and he was involved with SMPTE a fellow Society of motion 
picture television engineers  I was so lucky to meet these architects of 
cinema before they all passed away
I spoke on the phone with Linwood Dunn asc several times before he 
passed away in Lynnwood was the guy who invented the optical printer

also Mopo I've learned much of my way of doing business from fellow mow 
powers by Bruce Hershenson and many of the former members because the 
long term dealers always have shared with me the inside of hard to find 
materials and sources to name a few John Kisch who published the poster 
price almanac years ago that was a beautiful publication and I was so 
broke he would allow me to do trade for posters as he collected black 
cinema posters and I also wrote several wonderful books about black 
cinema are called separate cinema John also what is the professional 
photographer for years with Rolling Stone magazine and head down all the 
packaging photos of Paul Reubens for pee-wee Herman toy packaging that's 
John's work if you see him in the box Pee-wee Herman toy John took all 
those pictures he also did some of the most famous models of the 80s 
kelly Emberg and others I believe he sold his collection of black cinema 
posters which was one of the best in the country to George Lucas 
archives for something like $8 million he was one of the most honest 
people and helped me when I took my son to New York City he got us into 
the Gramercy Park Hotel which is where the Beatles and John F. Kennedy 
stayed they were filming the movie addicted to love in the hotel while 
we were there and as we went up the stairs to our room they had all the 
lighting wires going next to our room it turns out Matthew Broderick 
walked out in front of us and said oh I'm sorry we're gonna be filming 
all night he and Meg Ryan we're doing the film and even the soundman and 
others invited us to watch is ever filming and the Director of the film 
was an actor who is in Scorsese film so it was very interesting time for 
my young son to be able to meet Matthew Broderick shake his hand in the 
whole experience was great thanks to John he's supposedly related to the 
Manischewitz wine company out of Cleveland and I believe he's Jewish so 
there's another one of my
 he is the one who told me years ago that I was now part of the movie 
poster mafia as many dealers would not sell to people unless they were 
accepted in the fold
The best thing I can say about buying and selling please be honest with 
your dealer friends and your suppliers and your customers if you can't 
deliver the goods tell them fired advance and either refund her money or 
give them credit or be honest and say I can't deliver the goods right 
now if you're sick if you're broke it doesn't matter what honesty is the 
best p
Some dealers will spread vicious rumors thinking they're protecting 
themselves from another dealers ability to serve customers better what I 
notice about good dealers like  Jerry Ohlinger he never had a bad word 
to say about anybody the whole time I knew him and he would always offer 
help in describing items and also Bruce Hershenson would do the same as 
well as Rudy Franchi as well as Sue Heim, and other long-term dealers 
add and Sue poole are a great resource for history of posters and 
resources of other dealers you've learned real early in the business 
nobody has all the titles so it's good to have a network like Mopo to be 
put to put out the word what you're looking for as many people have 
little pockets of titles years ago there were only a few sources for 
wholesale of movie posters but now almost everybody can go on eBay and 
find titles the only problem is that some of them are not authentic or 
they are reproductions or smaller sizes or the infamous portal 
publications of classic posters and there were many other publishers of 
reproductions like I Ira Roberts, celestion posters, numerous others the 
emanated from Europe Italy Canada Germany , the Netherlands and numerous 
other European predators if you just enjoy a movie or enjoy the original 
artwork of a classic poster reproductions to me are fine and they have 
become collectible in their own right because so many of them are out of 
print or the printing vary in quality to be able to buy an original say 
Casablanca is quite expensive but there were three release posters and 
even when they did the video release the artwork by Dudash is stunning
Still there is nothing like getting an original 1930s movie posters of a 
great title with punching art released when the movie came out

if we had an emergency beyond our control that everything would be

were on I didn't get to meet David but it was interesting because his

3 inch and if you do larger or rolls of 50 they havea great 4 inch x 30 
that i think come in 10 to a box.ifyou are inthe midwest they include 
the shipping in the cost
they make smaller but the 3 inch is sturdy.. ask forsamples theyare 
great people and good serice
I have bought fromthem over 40 years and always had a good 
experience..andI see Bruce also feels the same..


they include the plastic end caps
also you can buy 4 inch drain pipe comes in 10 foot at home depot for  
30 x 40 posters and use a saw to cut to your needs.. its very strong 
andthe 4 incaps fit it or make so,e from corrogated board..use strapping 
tape across and then packing tape criss- cross..be sure to put the 
posters with etha foam 1/8 th thickaround them inside the tube..andi 
creat a pillow on each end of tube so the posteris floated in the 
middle. foam cushions so the poster wont move around

Currently at auction from eMoviePoster.com (closing in one day at
https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail_uid1=6713931
[1] ) is this first release English one-sheet for Mabel's Lovers, the
1912 Mack Sennett silent romantic love triangle slapstick comedy
short!

One would HAVE to think this was a very risque title for 1912! The
movie is about a woman who receives multiple marriage proposals at a
summer resort. She decides to test her suitors by disguising her legs
with wild, unsightly bumps, causing all but one admirer to retreat in
disgust.

 the next day she appears without the bumps and she is admired by all,
but only the one who when still cared for her when she was
"disfigured" wins her love!

The movie starring Mabel Normand (in the title role as Mabel), Fred
Mace, Ford Sterling, and Alice Davenport. Does the name "Mabel
Normand" sound at all familiar?

She was an actress/comedienne from the 1910s to the 1920s. She was a
giant of early cinema, and the first great female movie comedienne,
and she even pre-dated Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton!

She started with just a few movies in 1910, and she was mostly
unbilled or low-billed in 1911, but in 1912 she became a leading star
(two years before Chaplin appeared in his first movie).

Some of her shorts were named after her character and in 1912 she made
this movie, where her character also had her own name, and the movie
was named after her, showing just how popular she had become by 1912.

In 1914 she started directing her own movies. She made several movies
with Charlie Chaplin and surely helped him start his career, and after
he left Keystone she made movies with Fatty Arbuckle.

She had a turbulent private life, and was engaged to studio head Mack
Sennett, who she worked for. She got tuberculosis and started drinking
heavily, which greatly curtailed her career in the 1920s.

Some of her other movies include: Tillie's Punctured Romance, Mickey,
The Extra Girl, A Film Johnnie, and Caught in a Cabaret. She passed
away in 1930 at the age of just 37 from the tuberculosis she had had
for years

In a time when moviemakers yearn for movies about very important women
in history, surely SOMEONE should make one about the life of Mabel
Normand!

And one would THINK a 112 year old poster in great condition would
sell for LOTS of money, but this museum quality poster is currently
just $299!

That’s amazing longevity for an Internet group.

February 24, 1995 was the day of the first official MoPo post via the
American University listserv.

As is my custom, here’s my annual recognition of those 11 first-day
MoPo members: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna
Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static
(using AOL name Static555), Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, and
myself. Michael, Rob and Evan are still with the group.

Our subscriber numbers aren’t what they once were, but I’ll take
quality over quantity any day. 

Thanks again to American University for keeping the listserv up and
running and thanks to all of you for being here.

This debate has been going on for years and people remain split on
it. In fact, more recently there was this raging debate on a fan site
about removing personalization from a genuine signature from a Beatle.


 My thoughts, then vs. now, have changed.

 I used to think personalization ruins a book, poster, photograph,
whatever. I no longer do and prefer it because:

 1) The more strokes of a pen, the easier it is for authenticators to
separate what's genuine vs. what's a forgery.
 2) Collectors can still prefer NO personalization - but it gets
complicated when it's done by a celebrity who is no longer alive.

 Recently, a collector wanted opinions about removing personalization
from an item signed by John Lennon. The signature was authenticated by
two different organizations - and the collector said seeing
"personalization" to another person not sharing his name - really
bugged the crap out of him.

 Where I fall on this is simple. I would NEVER want to erase a single
pen stroke done by a legendary figure. Same with authors. I prefer
personalization from an author like Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald,
Didion, E.B. White, Virginia Woolf, etc. I don't care if the
personalization is for a random fan vs. for someone who was famous,
the latter of course would enhance value. To me, it represents the
celebrity taking an extra few seconds to write something besides his /
her name. I myself would never erase personalization from even a
single-genre celebrity like Mark Hamill, who is notorious about
publicly calling out fakes of his own signature. Separate from
signatures, restoration of paper does impact the perception of value,
e.g., sometimes a poster needs it and the value goes up or down or
stays the same. In the comic book world, though, restoration does have
devastating impact on value.

 Of course, right now people want to remove things like, "Best of luck
William, All the Best! Paul McCartney" - if they're not named William.
They're look at personalization as hurting market value. Probably. But
when someone like McCartney eventually passes - and the world mourns
him - the perception of market value with or without personalization
DOES shift. Again, speaking for myself, I would never want to remove
anything signed by such a person. That's like wanting a portion of
Albert Einstein's writing removed because it includes something like,
"You're a smart young man, Herbert! Good luck! A. Einstein." -d.

Interesting topic, Scott. I have always been under the impression that
a personalized autograph was more likely to be authentic.

I had Robert Dix sign a lobby card the first time I met him. Instead
of Glenn he signed it to STAN! I was too polite to correct him or do
anything about it. It bothered me every time I looked at it. I
eventually sold it. It wasn't worth much at all but I just couldn't
look at it. Silly I guess but I'm not Stan and never have been!

Robert and I later became good friends and I have his signature on
things that are more personal to me than a lobby card so it's all
good.

get autographs from neither one because I just have never liked 
autographs I'd like to shake the persons hand that I m when you getting 
an autograph signed the persons focusing on writing the words down so I 
have very few autographs I have a couple letters from Adam West and Mel 
Blank and Johnny Carson sent me an autographed picture for my birthday 
one year other than that I picked up autographs in collections the other 
day a musician asked me if the Elvis autograph that he had could be 
restored and I told it would be a big no-no to try to enhance the 
autograph by overlaying it with a pen or or some object that the 
authenticity was in the fact that it was a genuine autograph I guess he 
got it signed by Elvis in Vegas years ago on a menu and it was in 
ballpoint pen I also told him if he exhibited it in the sunlight it 
could fade the ink naturally so I said better to leave it alone and deal 
with it as his personal Momento of meeting Elvis and getting a signature 
the memories are really the value in the big picture as far as selling 
the object and having a good strong autograph as far as an autograph 
dealer yes that's important but remember when artist of the 30s and 20s 
they mostly signed with fountain pens which are renowned for for not 
being strong or smearing and all kinds of crazy stuff then came to 
ballpoint pens which were not much really to look out because they're so 
thin and blue has a tendency and the ink to fade very quickly because of 
chemical composition and that leads us to the last few years almost 
everyone uses sharpies or paint pens when Arnold Schwarzenegger sent me 
an autograph on a Stihl he signed it in silver paint pen but most people 
currently use black sharpie markers they come in find in medium and I 
think bold I use sharpies in my home because they are the most legible 
for somebody with visual problems to read I still have some of the tops 
posters that came out from the tops chewing gum company and they never 
sold when they came out however they were nicely done they were just 
very small miniature posters and as far as collectible value I would 
think of somebody framed up all the small movie posters and make a nice 
display because there was a lot of the great posters of the time of the 
80s like Star Wars empire strikes back and I believe jazz I have a 
complete side of them still and I like them but they just never sold 
very well


I think it would make a great display if someone were to take all the 
movie posters from the tops collection and math them in frame of mind it 
will take a lot less space than if you were to frame the actual one 
sheets in there were some great titles of movies during the 80s that 
would be very expensive to buy single and very hard to display in a 
small space
Hope that helps somebody who needs the information thanks Scott for 
sharing the question

Interesting video from Fourth Cone Restoration on YouTube where a
client wanted "Best to Harold" removed from a "Star Wars" Topps
poster, autographed by Mark Hamill. Does this kind of restoration make
any difference in the value of the poster? This being a Topps poster,
I'm not sure how much value there was to begin with, but a Hamill
autograph would certainly boost the value. Opinions?

Re: [MOPO] [MOPO} Movie posters and Netflix

2024-01-28 Thread Tom Martin

wow...i have not bought any posters since the 1990s !


I think the last poster I liked was Jurrassic Park in 1993

whenthe studios stopped useing the painters and illustrators get really 
lost my interest as the graphic art and paintings for what attracted me 
to movie posters the most with exception that some of the film directors 
and actors were also but when they stopped using painters like Drew 
Struzan they brought back Drew for a couple posters


Also some of the most popular artist passed away years ago like Richard  
Amsel


When I started selling video posters in the 90s there were still some 
nice looking posters even with Photoshop but not very many that were 
memorable and were supposedly selling movie memorabilia and things that 
evoke good memories from watching the films right??


I can't remember too many recent films that I've seen that evoke 
memories all the titles that I remember seem to be between the silent 
screen in the 90s I'm getting so rusty I can't even recite any of the 
current directors or actors in films although I just heard that the Ben 
Affleck directed Oppenheimer with Matt Damon
I'm sure there is some really good artists out there and some good films 
I don't even watch cable I just use an antenna and watch TV shows so I 
don't have any of the premium cable channels or Netflix there is enough 
vintage TV to keep me going and I still like the same classic films like 
it's a wonderful life is still my favorite film of all time and still 
holds up even though it was made in 1946


I wonder how many people feel the same as I do about the film industry 
and media I just learned about deep fake videos and I've had my own 
personal experience with imposter  celebrities sending me fake emails so 
the Internet has become a marketplace for scammers who want to find 
devoted fans to take advantage of it's become quite crazy I'm very 
saddened by this but it seems to be following biblical scripture that 
even the most elect would be deceived during the end times so many 
people had become fan of celebrities I am not sure what is real or fake 
these days I received two letters that my personal information has been 
compromised from my bank in Home [ender there is mass paranoia and 
anxiety in the marketplace of everything and in all the platforms

There is there is mass

The way I've been dealing with all this is simply prayer to God I pray 
for the Muslims Christians the Jews the Buddhas and the India  Hindu  
people and china as we are in world war IMHO of Powers and 
principalities that it's not f
We are now being ruled by Computer monitoring an artificial intelligence 
and marketers trying to either sell us or Dupe us


so pray for everyone Folks we are all brothers and sisters.as DNa 
Proves,and see we are all Fragile inthe Big Picture

peace and Love is the answer

Re: [MOPO] FA: The prices on our 1,039 bulk lots ending Sunday are SO low they are hard to believe!

2024-01-19 Thread Tom Martin
Bruce the prices are probably so low because the bidders fingers are 
frozen to the keyboards and they can't place a bid


It's been unbelievably cold here I took my trash out and got frostbite 
on my hands the other day because it was so cold I've never had 
frostbite in my life so is very strange and painful my garbage can lid 
was frozen to the can so I had to drop it on the ground to get the ice 
to break and I got it out there great lesson learned don't take out the 
garbage in frigid weather without gloves on


Hope your sale gets better and better

My company, eMoviePoster.com, has a truly remarkable 1,039 bulk lots
containing 22,221 items in all at auction ending in just TWO days on
SUNDAY at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html [1], beginning
at 3 PM CST.

I believe that there are a lot of collectors and dealers who
mistakenly ignore our bulk lot auctions thinking there is "nothing of
interest" to them in them, but I contend that is only because they
haven't looked at them LATELY. Read on!

IF AFTER LOOKING THEM OVER YOU FIND THAT THESE BULK LOTS CONTAIN A LOT
OF "BETTER THAN USUAL" ITEMS, YOUR EYES ARE NOT DECEIVING YOU! That's
because we are being a LOT harsher on what qualifies for single
auctions, so these bulk lots now OFTEN contain items you USED to see
as single auction items!

As of right now, I can see that the high bidders on most of these are
dealers who will be re-selling them (and nothing wrong with that!),
but certainly those of you who are collectors should be looking those
especially closely since almost all of them are all absolutely at
wholesale prices (or below!).

This ABSOLUTELY is one of our best bulk lot auction EVER, because we
are very focused on getting ALL remaining sub-$30 ones auctioned ASAP.
Many of those COULD have been in single auctions, but the consignors
of those wanted those sold more quickly!

I know it likely SEEMS like we have an unending supply of these kinds
of items, but we don't, and one of these days we will hold the LAST of
these bulk lot auctions!

CONSIDER THIS: In the past 9 years, we have held around 87 of these
bulk lot auctions, and IN ALL THEY HAVE CONTAINED OVER 61,000 BULK
LOTS, WHICH THEMSELVES CONTAINED 1,713,000+ ITEMS OF EVERY KIND!

AND IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING OUR ANNOUNCEMENTS, WE ARE PHASING OUT BULK
LOTS COMPLETELY. We no longer let consignors send us ANY sub-$30 items
AT ALL, so once we deplete all the remaining sub-$30 items that are
here there won't be ANY more bulk lot auctions!

This means that those of you who buy these for resale will no longer
have to compete with us in selling them, once we auction all our
remaining bulk lot items!

THERE IS ONE TYPE OF BULK LOTS WELL WORTH WRITING MORE ABOUT, WHICH
ARE THE THREE HUNDRED NINETY ONE BULK LOTS OF UNFOLDED (OR FORMERLY
FOLDED) ONE-SHEETS AT
https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/extra%253Auf/tag/xtype%253Aone-sheet/15.html
[2]

You know that we no longer accept single consignments that usually
sell for under $30. These 391 bulk lots of rolled one-sheets mostly
contain multiple examples of one-sheets we USED TO auction
individually, and most contain five or ten (or more!) examples of the

So you collectors out there may well be able to buy five or ten of a
poster for only a little more than you would have paid for just one,
and then you can re-sell (or trade) the others and get the one for
yourself for free, and make some money beside!

And of course there will be lots of dealers trying to do the same

I just saw how extremely low the prices are on many of my company's
(eMoviePoster.com's) 1,467 folded U.S. & non-U.S. posters, lobby
cards, GREAT comic books, and MUCH more that will begin closing in
just a few hours TODAY beginning at 7 PM CST TUESDAY at
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html [1]

Note that some people feel these last minute reminder posts are "too
long", or have "too much information", and if YOU feel this way, then
please stop reading this now, and simply go to
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html [1] right now and look
over the 1,467 folded U.S. & non-U.S. posters, lobby cards, GREAT
comic books, and MUCH more that will begin closing later TODAY! Thanks
and best of luck on whatever you are bidding on!

HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T MIND READING MORE, PLEASE DO READ ON, because
there is much useful and helpful information below!

If you are fairly new to this hobby, you may be very surprised to
learn that the price levels of vintage movie paper (and related items)
is FAR lower than that of ANY other collectible these days! One quick
look at the current bid prices on the 1,467 auctions closing in hours
at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html [1] proves that beyond
a shadow of a doubt!

DO YOU LIKE TO GET REALLY GREAT "DEALS"? Then you will surely want to
closely look over these 1,467 folded U.S. & non-U.S. posters, lobby
cards, GREAT comic books, and MUCH more, because currently, with 13
hours left (as of this writing) until these start to close, there are
ONE HUNDRED THIRTY NINE of these at just FIVE DOLLARS each or under,
THREE HUNDRED TWENTY SIX at just TEN DOLLARS each or under, and a
whopping FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR at just TWENTY DOLLARS each or under
(and that is forty percent of the auctions)! And you know just as well
as I do that a $20 bill buys a fraction of what it did five or ten
years ago, but many of these items are currently at prices similar to
what they were ten or twenty YEARS ago!

And remember: WE are the only major auction with NONE of those awful
20% OR 25% "buyers premiums" (and one auction's "minimum buyers
premium" is a truly INSANE $29, meaning they will never sell any item
for under $30 AND that their poor consignors RECEIVE pennies from a
$30 sale).

It is not just the lowest priced ones ending in HOURS that represent
exceptional values, as there are items at every price level that are
far under where the same (or similar) items have sold for before, and
these make great unique gifts (for yourself or others) that don't have
to cost you an arm and a leg, so please start checking them out now!
And you surely deserve to give yourself a present, after the last
couple of years we have all had.

Because our "every four week auctions" combine all different types of
items into one auction, there are a number of groups of items very
worthy of special mention:

EXTRA SPECIAL! THIS time only, we have ONE HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT
EXCELLENT vintage comic books at
https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype%253Acomic%2520book/13.html
[2] including ones that would sell for literal fortunes in better
condition! Plus we have 3 bound volumes of ultra-rare DELL comics,
plus 4 Mad magazines, (#24, the very first magazine issue, #25, #29
and #33), and SEVEN great underground comix (including the historic
first printing of Zap #1)!

MORE SPECIAL STUFF! THIS time only, we have TWENTY NINE Simpsons and
King of the Hill pencil drawings at
https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype%253Aanimation%2520art/13.html
[3] WHAT ARE THESE? We have previously auctioned a number of these,
and they all came from a single consignor. Now, the consignor has sent
us many of the very best ones that he had, which he had intended to
keep, but circumstances have forced him to sell them. This is a great
opportunity to purchase one or more of these excellent Simpsons or
King of the Hill pencil drawings!

There is a fine selection of FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY ONE folded one-sheet
auctions at
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype:one-sheet/13.html [4]
These cover a very wide range of years, stars and genres, and truly
there is "something" for EVERY movie paper collector! THEY INCLUDE
MANY EXCELLENT ONES, AND THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO
WANT TOP QUALITY UNBACKED ONE-SHEETS AT "BARGAIN" PRICES!

There is also a great selection of TWO HUNDRED THIRTEEN lobby card
auctions at
https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype%253Alobby%2520card/13.html
[5] (a truly remarkable selection of 128 singles, 45 complete sets,
and 40 incomplete sets!). These include lots of rare singles from the
1920s to the 1950s PLUS lots of complete sets from great titles of the
1940s to the 1970s!

There is also an truly wondrous selection of ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN
vintage 8" x 10" stills (16 singles, plus 100 sets of stills with 2 to
63 stills

2024-01-06 Thread Tom Martin

Interesting Helmut
When I opened my store I also had videos from a company in Toledo called 
video connection their claim to fame was that they sold public domain 
cowboy western films which I sold John day the owner many 16 mm western 
films that they then made copies of a vhs who is called a video 
connection and I think they sold out
Hi set up kiosks in video connection stores with movie posters for a 
while because they had about 10 stores in Toledo
And we even rented tapes in our store for a while when people were 
buying brand new tapes also we sold some and I think I still have a few 
sealed videos that were never sold like blade runner and a few others I 
also have DVDs there are many that are out of print and I think are 
considered collectible
Like the criterion laser desks were considered because Beta sony tapes 
where better quality then VHs.. Remember people were buying Walt Disney 
VHS tapes because Disney marked in them that they be discontinued along 
with I remember Wizard of Oz they kept saying that would be the last 
time you would be released I haven't had the posters for the video and I 
sold and still have video ones shoes that were sometimes actual studio 
issued posters like for instance Warner Bros. Because when national 
screen was closed down was when the one shoe posters took on the side 
size of 27 x 40 versus 27 x 41 that was in the 90s I believe when 
national screen service close down and the theater poster exchanges were 
the only way to get old stock of one sheets and from private collectors 
that is also when all the rise of reproductions became very popular it's 
funny I started in 1977 and it was just poster geeks that collected 
posters back to the same guys that were collecting comic books and toys 
very eclectic crowd but who is the foundation of my business along with 
a handful of dealers across the US and Europe  I've been in limbo since 
I was ill and Covid so I've watched so many things change I still have 
super eight movie projectors and films and some 16mm energy actually had 
a resurgence because Kodak started making super eight cameras again and 
all formats are actually still collectible people still buy film for 
instance who would've thought vinyl records would've been so popular 
again and it's really common now to buy vinyl copies I'm waiting for 70 
eights to return because I even have 78 RPM and old books are still in 
demand along with old movie magazines which one I started actually were 
worth more but depending on the condition and of course 8 x 10 photos 
are still sought after basically until collectors or dealers pass away 
people seem to be saving everything like board games toys films
I still have a little bit of everything that I started out with back in 
1977+ even my reproduction posters are 20 to 40 years old so they've 
become collectible just because they're the only ones out there movie 
memorabilia is a funny business
I always joke because when I started I would sell door size posters of 
Theda Bara and nobody has asked me for Theda Barra posters in over 20 
years or possibly 30 years

VHS tapes have always been collectible, but it is a market that has

Apparently, VHS collecting is not limited to sealed tapes: A few years
ago I spoke to a collector who complained about the vast number or
FAKE VHS paper inlays. To that day, I was not aware VHS covers were
collectible at all, but apparently the market is big enough that it
makes sense to counterfeit the most desirable ones. Live and learn.

As to the movie poster market: Personally, I can't share Rich's
pessimism. Yes, the market is changing. And yes, Buck Jones once was
at the top of the movie poster food chain. As was William S. Hart and
a few others. On the other hand, I still remember a leading dealer
loudly proclaiming that 1980s posters will NEVER be worth any money...


I pretty much built my business from scratch, with no money to speak
of. I quit my day job in 1999 and have made my living exclusively from
selling movie posters ever since. I have hardly sold anything at
auction in the last 15 years, and I closed my ebay shop several years
ago and never looked back. Between the brick-and-mortar shop and the
website I'm still doing fine. There are a number of dealers out there
who have proven that it is perfectly possible to get rich selling
movie posters. Too bad, I'm not one of them. But frankly, that was
never really part of the plan. Like anybody else, I was affected by
the Covid lockdown. I actually liked it and I am opening by
appointment only ever since. Also, two years ago I turned the showroom
into my private exhibition space, so nothing that is on display is for
sale. I always wanted to have a shop where you can't buy anything, so
that is fun.

In a word: For the last 25 years, this business has paid my rent, has

I usually avoid them like the plague.  In my opinion the older ones
are too sappy and inaccurate.  The newer ones go overboard with
controversy to garner publicity.  I have always been a Laurel & Hardy
fan, for this reason I didn't want to see "Stan & Ollie."   I decided
to watch a little of it, and was completely surprised at the
depiction, quality, and story.  If you are a fan or not I suggest
seeing it.

I recently had to watch a print of "The Magic Box," to check the
condition.  Again I enjoyed the film.  I think it was fairly accurate
in general, and entertaining.  I know there are others, but these come
to mind.

Just thought I would start the year off with a fairly light topic.
Hope you all have a Happy New Year.

My company's (eMoviePoster.com's) just-ended Sunday auctions (our
final 2023 auctions) put us to right under six million dollars in
sales for 2022 (a total of $5,986,116.00)!

This means we have averaged $6 million per year for SEVEN years and we
keep setting LOTS of individual records!

But even more impressive is that in 2019 we held 140,000 auctions,
while in 2020 we "only" had 100,000 auctions, and in 2021 we "only"
had 75,000 auctions, and in 2022 we we "only" had 54,000 auctions and
in 2023 we had 54,000 auctions.

This year we held around 50,000 auctions (I don't have the exact
count) , and we still came close to our other $6 million+ years which
had 75,000, 100,000, and 140,000 auctions!

And this year we had 4 major auctions during the year, while last year
we had six major auctions, and yet we had almost as much overall sales
with the same number of auctions.

This is because our selling price per auction keep rising drastically
as the number of annual auctions we have run has fallen by two-thirds
over 3 years (it has almost tripled)!

Why have we continued to have strong sales growth virtually every
year, letting us grow in annual sales from $1,883,722.71 in 2002 to
$5,986,116.00 this year with one-third the auctions?

There are seven reasons for this:
1) We far and away charge the lowest rates at every price level of any
major auction, and we get higher prices overall than any other
auction, when you compare "apples to apples and oranges to oranges"
(even if you accept the many "false results" other auctions often
report).

2) We do a better job of auctioning than any major auction (how buyers
AND consignors are treated, before, during, and after every
transaction).

3) We have very loyal bidders and consignors, many of whom we have
dealt with for five or ten or more years, quite a few for nearly our
entire 33 year history!

4) eBay continues to implode. They have no quality control over their
sellers, so the good auctioneers get lumped in with the many bad ones,
and their businesses continue to decline. Many former regular eBay
bidders are now mostly only bidding with us, and many former eBay
sellers are now mostly only selling through us!

5) Other online auction sites regularly alienate their consignors AND
their bidders, due to many shady auction practices, including
deceptive buyers premiums (that deceive sellers) and over-grading what
they auction, and/or enhancing images and "missing" restoration or
defects that their items have.

6) We have the best employees of any major movie poster auction, 21 in
all. Over the years we have continually refined what we do, and all of
our top employees have been here between ten and twenty years each!

7) We DON'T have fancy offices, showrooms, or exhibit space, or
printed catalogs! We put all the savings from not having those things
into having no buyers premiums, charging actual shipping cost and
having 16 weeks of Pay and Hold, and many other ways that let our
bidders and our consignors get a better deal than at any other
auction!

What will the future hold? We don't know, so you will just have to
come back here a year from now and find out! But we HAVE committed to
keeping this company going exactly as it is for TWO more years (at
least), so if YOU have excellent posters or related items to sell, we
don't know why you would not immediately consign them to
eMoviePoster.com, the #1 poster auction in the world, for 34 years!

Re: [MOPO] Empire Strikes Back international poster at auction that is ending Tuesday night

2023-12-18 Thread Tom Martin
Just a thought branch however both hitters could be fraudulent and 
playing the game of hyping up the poster cost to try to create a rules 
for unsuspecting novice spires


One thing would be to check the history of the purported poster as a 
international Empire strikes back I would think would be a fairly 
reasonable price poster perhaps learn about posters would have a history 
of it or E movie poster



Personally I would stink 20 K or 15 K for a international Empire strikes 
back poster is outrageous but then many frogs are pulled off on eBay for 
inflated prices of posters then try to sell it again and see what 
happens

what's going on here?

did 46Outlaw bid up the poster to 20k looking to find out what the

or is 46Outlaw shill bidding the poster for someone?

How  & WHY did they get their bid retracted?

why is 46Outlaw allowed to have any bids on the item after withdrawing
their high bid on the item?

is cjobearkwalker getting ripped off? Are they getting driven up?

this looks as hinky as anything I've ever heard about on mopo and

may have heard in the news that Target among other retailers is
experiencing a high incidence of store theft, which they say is
affecting their bottom line.. firstly, I went into the store to buy
some bar soap… I was surprised I had to get somebody to open a
locked cage to buy this… I could understand things like razor blade
cartridges which tend to be expensive, etc. but bar soap… OK then I
asked the fellow that opened the cage for me if there was a bathroom
in the store? He replied yes But it was closed now… Really why is
there a plumbing problem I asked him. no, he said the junkies go in
there to shoot up after 4 o’clock so it’s not safe… OKkkk… I
then proceeded to the self checkout all the machines were being used,
so I waited behind a person to watch this person put about 10 items on
the scanner and then put them in a bag without paying for them. Not
sure how that works, and then finally, as I was proceeding to exit the
store I noticed three New York City police officers at the escalator,
a teenager started to walk up the escalator with a pile of stuff in a
basket. One of the officers approached him, and said you got to be
kidding… The kid dumped all the stuff on the floor and ran up the
escalator and started cursing and flipping the bird to the officer…
I thought maybe the officer would radio or chase him, but just told
him to get out.. we all read a lot of stuff in the news, but living
the moment is a different experience

Believe it or not in 1960 my grandmother took me to see John F Kennedy 
give a speech at the Toledo Lucas county courthouse


Since I was born in 1956 I was five years old when she took me to see 
him I cannot tell you a single word he said except the crowd of what I 
was told later was 35,000 people were in utter shock and the charisma 
John Kennedy had was very apparent because the crowd rude and odd and 
we're grinning ear from ear I remember that day like it happened 
yesterday I was standing next to a statue of horses on the curb of Adams 
Street which is right next to the courthouse in front of it a complete 
stranger man lifted me onto his shoulders so I could see Kennedy it was 
awesome and everybody was very happy and I later found out it was his 
last stop is the senator before he was elected president so cut to a few 
years later on that fateful day I was in grade school and the teacher 
walked in and said children you can all go home our president has been 
shot and killed she was crying profusely so I went home to my 
grandmother who took care of me and we sat on the couch watching the 
funeral for I think it was three days on CBS Walter  Cronkite the most 
poignant part of watching the funeral is this the carriage with 
President Kennedy's coffin passed John John his son and John John 
saluted the casket it was such a somber and sad point and was the first 
time I remember all of the US morning together and actually the first 
traumatic event I remember in my life then watching everything unfold 
where Oswald shot while being taken to the jail
Somewhere in my basement I have a beautiful framed picture of John F 
Kennedy that is wonderful


Never forget that day as a little boy and how impressive it was to hear 
people happy and Jubilee and all happy to see our new president
Then I also remember 1968 where Bobby Kennedy was also shot by saran 
saran and also 1968 when Martin Luther King was shot just one seemed 
like when mankind started turning to assassinations is their way of 
grieving for being upset with others I think we are experiencing that 
same element currently and I pray for the Jews in Israel and I also pray 
for the Palestine people who are innocent and for all races and 
nationalities as we are all brothers and sisters regardless of our 
nationality or race or religion and if you do some research we are all 
connected by DNA pray for peace and love for all mankind

You know how SOME auctions not only charge outrageous amounts for
shipping, but they also often pack poorly (not surprising, since last
week they were auctioning baseball cards or beanie babies, and they
may not know much of anything about packing posters)?

We at eMoviePoster.com have been packing posters for 33 solid years
(just under 2 MILLION auctions, and $113 million in sales), and we
package BETTER than ANY other auction (no brag, just fact!). And we
ALWAYS charge the actual cost of shipping, plus $4 per tube or box for
packaging materials.

Here are some comments we just received from buyers who just received
their packages (and we get emails like these ALL the time):

"I have been receiving packages from eMoviePoster for the past several
years, but I'm always impressed, as I go through layers of cardboard,
plastic, and peanuts before I can open my presents. PLEASE.let your
shipping department know...AGAIN...how much their efforts and time,
are greatly appreciated."

"My compliments to your staff for the really excellent packing job
that was done in sending my several boxes of items. Well received and
really well done."

If the auctions you buy from don't handle packaging and sending in
this way, then isn't it time YOU discover "the eMoviePoster.com
difference"?

Re: [MOPO] A question for everyone on MoPo (except the haters)

2023-11-29 Thread Tom Martin
Zeev Drach  I remember when you came in my shop when you were on the way 
to cinevent in Columbus you were a Israel soldier and you bought Lobby 
cards from me... Thanks
Not sure if you meant Tommy in UK in the post buton the issue of Haters 
Ill comment


Right now Haters are everywhere in all countrys and in all politics and 
religions and in all types of business.. they are people that hate races 
and blame each other for the failings of man andeach other its been 
going on since the start of man..


If you look at what the Muslims, andJews and christians seem to argue is 
what God to believe in as all 3 groups believe in Abraham and Isaace yet 
question if Jesus was truly the son of God
yet the muslims credit Jesus as a prophet the Pharisees or the Jewish 
leaders questioned Christ authority to do miracles and had issue with 
him yeah he was Jewish that began the issue of hating as they were not 
happy with Christ at all and he said to them I tell you before the tax 
collectors and the prostitutes will get into heaven before you will 
because he questioned their intentions on leading the people by denying 
that he was the Christ or Messiah because the Jewish leaders wanted a 
warrior that would destroy evil with military might not by peace and 
love they thought that was ridiculous so for 2000 years people have been 
arguing about that and why were haters against both the Muslims and 
Christians and Jews it's because of an extreme misunderstanding of the 
policies that Jesus was teaching although although I understand now that 
there is a unanimous agreement by all faiths Christ was teaching the 
right things to love God with all your heart and soul to love your 
neighbor and help them and she would help others and to basically not 
hate anybody he told us to love our enemies and help them with all these 
leaders from all countries would do the same and rebuild cities not 
destroy them and help the children and elderly and women we could stop 
the hate and that's why you'll notice that many people are standing up 
and saying stop the war and stop the hate I believe we are on the eve of 
what Christ told us he would return and settle the discrepancy once and 
for all that is my prayer an my wish
My cab drivers are from all over the world the call center for my cab 
company is it in Serbia in the Serbian people are very kind overs are 
from all over the world summer from Israel some from Africa like Somalia 
and Sudan and Ethiopia and Egypt and Palestine Lebanon so we talk about 
peace and love and mankind the Muslim people pray many times a day and 
they are very helpful people who have love and compassion for their 
fellow man to racism and division among people is very strong in my area 
because Detroit Michigan is the largest area of Arabs in the US in my 
city alone we have a Islam mosque my doctors when is  woman from India 
who happens to be a Christian one of my other doctors is a Muslim from 
Pakistan very loving kind people and I also have USA American doctors 
that are a combination of multi cultures


The only solution that I can see to hate is love and forgiveness and 
kindness and helping the oppressed and poor and by respect for all 
people of all nationalities including Hindus and Buddhists and other 
sects we are all brothers and sisters connected together by the blood 
DNA proves we are all related my family is from Bermuda and was Italian 
British and Scottish and Irish and Portuguese my father side Direct from 
Sicily Palmero Sicily was conquered by the Greeks Muslims and various 
countries including Austria so I have many peoples blood in me maybe 
even Jewish I need to get a test for my ancestry done it may be 
interesting


Anyways I wrote a song in protest to the school shootings and death of 
John Lennon it's on YouTube free and other platforms as the recording 
studio said I needed to record the song it is a protest to the 
government and those that hate and divide us and think war is the 
solution to everything the song is called Armageddon by Tom Martin I 
didn't do it for money but to try to make a statement that we need to 
teach the children to love not to hate it's not a commercial knee 
slapper song but it was my only way to communicate my thoughts at the 
time wrote the song back in 1976 but I changed some of the lyrics after 
John died in 1980 and after the Parkland Florida school shootings
 the insanity of war and what has happened in politics in the last few 
years really has troubled me but it's the same time biblical scripture 
is being fulfilled in ways I never considered when I wrote the song


Wishing everybody a merry Christmas and a happy new year and God bless 
you all and I hope all these words are resolved that Ukraine and Russia 
can get along and that the Middle East will all come together in peace 
and love and that Taiwan and China and all the countries that are in 
trouble resolve the problems and help each other in the book of Isaiah 
it is said

Re: [MOPO] A question for everyone on MoPo (except the haters)

2023-11-28 Thread Tom Martin
Bruce and mopo I would think ending soon would be to fore warn that the 
sale is ending soonbased on the listing darte itw as originally listed 
on

so its relative and contingent on the start date of the auction
The big question would be when did it start and if it's five days away 
from the end or three or two it's not really important however knowing 
the end date would give you a perspective on when the sale is going to 
end if it is hey three week auction and the first week it is sad ending 
soon it might be considered preemptive comment however it is today still 
in the final stages of the sale it would be considered informative and 
notifying the buyers to place their bid soon before the sale ends I hope 
that helps you that's just a fellow dealer opinion based on selling 
memorabilia for 46 years

Re: [MOPO] Breakfast at Tiffany's US One sheet

2023-11-28 Thread Tom Martin
John  sounds likea reprint by the size however some people trimmed 
poster to fita frame... teh paper stock would bea telltale sign if its 
coated paper oras printers callit _Ebanmel vs a Flat stock and more 
cotton as 60s and 70s were mostly similar paperstock..Rolled were pretty 
uncommon although I had 20s posters rolled so its not impossible..


27 x40 isa common reproduction size the germsn and UK reprints fall in 
that size.. the age ofthe paper helps too.. theyalmostsmell old at that 
age as thetime in storage can age the posters and acid breakdown of the 
poster paper stock

there were quite a few beautiful reprints of Breakfast at Tiffanys

Hi to you all

I have been contacted by a person who thinks he has an original rolled
Breakfast at Tiffany's US one sheet. I think it is a repro despite it
being 27" x 41" approx. It doesn't have the full NSS details (ie
61/262) on the bottom of the poster and is very similar to one that
Bruce correctly described as a repro back in 2015. 9x829 BREAKFAST AT

Did you know that if you have the right kind of collection, we can do
a single auction of just YOUR items?

Over the years, we have had many long time collectors consign a
collection to us that was of one type or on one theme, and we have
often used those consignments to form the nucleus of a section of one
of our major auctions. Until 2016 we had always supplemented such
consignments with other consignments of the same type or theme, and
that had always worked out quite well.

But in December 2016, French dealer Dominique Besson consigned his
wonderful collection of U.S. one-sheets to us, and he asked that we
auction it all on one day, and that we NOT include other consignments
of one-sheets with it. We agreed, and the auction was a great success,
with the 993 folded one-sheets selling for $292,562.00 (see all the
results HERE:
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/date/2016-12-08/sort/4/archive.html
[1]).

And over the years since, we have had LOTS of these special auctions,
including most notably THREE giant auctions of limited edition Mondo
art prints (two of which came from the personal collection of Alamo
Drafthouse/Mondo founder, Tim League) and all of these special
auctions of all kinds have proven to be very successful, both for the
consignors AND for the buyers who were able to add great rarities to
their collections!

Why have lots of collectors kept approaching us to do this? There are
two main reasons. One is that they get ALL those items auctioned in a
single day! If someone were to consign, say 1,000 single lobby cards
to us to include with our regular auctions, we could include around
100 to 200 of them each time we auction single lobby cards (because we
have lots of them from other consignors, and we have to be fair to
everyone), and since we do an auction of

It is all emperors clothing folks!!! Let's see some printer 
affidavits proving when they were printed on what day and what facility 
you will not find it I guarantee you the only ones that would have those 
records would be the movie studios who frowned upon anybody buying or 
selling movie posters in the first place they can't even work out the 
residuals for AI if they had to give residuals for movie posters or the 
artist it would be a nightmare that's why it's never been done except 
the Lucasfilm circus poster 15th anniversary style d Jeff Killian bought 
the rights for to print legally licensed


regarding printer proofs etc...when litho printers did the color key how 
they would line up themetal plates so the images all lined up theywould 
make a Proof to show the client... as to how many opproofs etc who would 
ever know and i would bet ther are no records on the history as you 
would need to geta affidavit from the printer and who printed the Star 
wars at what facility?? IO think continental litho in Cleveland did many 
however they moved the projects to other printers also like Gotham 
printing and others.. because NSS had the over seeing and posters were 
not to be soodl leased orgiven away...Nobody really knows anything... 
lucasfilm did countless re-runs on the Raiders poster back in 882 once 
the conceptof reprints came to the collector circles it was all blurred 
and so now between bootlegs , reprints and forgerys .unless you were 
able to get theposter from NSS or Lucasfilm in 1977 you could havea 
forgery or reprint even if you believe youhavea printer proofas anything 
can be copied these days.. also  the sizes change inthe 90s where 27 x 
40 has become the norm npw..and foled one sheets are few and a repro can 
be folded anyway...so then whats left well the litho process  has 
printer dots fromthe colorsep process... and how theplates were made was 
expensive as 4 metal plates where burned from film seps.. now its done 
digital plateless.. the panatone system was used to match colors is why 
therwas a Color keyand also was used to register the plates to make a 
sharp print... wee also did the same with screen prints..ifwe did 4 
color or more... You could have misprints and loss by errors 
intheregistrations..so many posters would slip out thedoor from 
employees at printers or even people who worked at studios or 100s 
ofpeople who had contacts inthe theaters or Nss or numerous ways but 
most never had any records of where the opposters went...I was a wild 
poster man.. for tristar and Cannon films... we were like ghosts..we 
werpaid to put one sheetson vacant buildings in major citys..the police 
would pop you if caught..I did Detroit..itwas a dangerous gig..I got 
paid 1500 pergig to do 10 locations and get photos of the locations..i 
would do 2 - 3 rows ofposter stapled to the wall they liked wheat past 
glued but to remove thepostersin winter would be Nuts..so i did the tack 
staples...I did chuck morris. and many other films Iron eagle ..etc,,, 
my ex wife wanted me to stop as downtown Detroit is very dangerous.. so 
i did however i got to keep excess posterssand i traded with Many 
otherposterdealers who would get other titles.. so posters were 
networked from Many sources..I was Told i was accepted in the POster 
Mafia..and i think its true as if you werea rip offorlied they would not 
sell to you..at same time ifthey knew you were honest they would send 
you posters and give you breaks...


Sorry for the typing in words running together I'm using the dictation 
program right now which space is the words however if I just try to type 
since I'm visually impaired and use two fingers I run the words together 
because I don't look at the screen I just look at the keyboard to try to 
hit the right ladders that's the downfall of being visually impaired at 
67 years old but I can write a lot faster with two fingers with my 
stream of consciousness and try to communicate the summary of my 
conversation is that nobody really knows anything because the entire 
movie poster industry was illegal and it says right on the bottom of the 
poster not to be sold or leased or given away so it's always been a 
taboo industry and yet when it first started years ago only diehard 
collectors were saving the stuff and it wasn't big business back then 
because the posters were being thrown away or use stairs insulation in 
houses in floorb it's only been since the time I've been in this 
business since 1977 that it became such a big deal especially with the 
horror movie posters universal and classic 20s and 30s that you were 
lucky if anybody saved them in the first place obviously the titles like 
Casablanca and Wizard of Oz and Frankenstein and things like that are 
garnering major prices how many thousands of posters can still be bought 
under $20 or even as low as a dollar in some of the vocal tunes that are

 Hello folks hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving I basically stayed 
home and I did have some sweet potato pie and a small TV dinner my son 
slept in his house so we never got together he's being treated for 
mental illness and he's on medication now it's been a very weird 
experience


The best dancer I've had for all this craziness is to pray for everybody 
that seems to be the best dancer otherwise I think this is the craziest 
time I've ever experienced in my life
I shared the podcast from film Director brett leonard and his son..brett 
was from Toledo butis in La now


I went to the premiere of his first film called dead pit at the Glenburn 
cinema in Toledo I can't remember what year it was I would guess in the 
90s and it was an art house theater played foreign films you can look up 
his bio on IMDb and I guess he's prolific in special effects digital 
work one of his movies was the lawnmower Man


Anyways my son is traumatized by all the computer and underground stuff 
that is going on on the worldwide web yes I do you rise many years ago 
the affect of movies and video games on children matter fact tracing my 
own life we were taught in the 50s that the Cowboys were the good guys 
and the Indians were the savage bad guys
Yeah any history buff knows that the Indians were sold out by bad deals 
with the white man and then in my area George Custer who lived up in 
Monroe Michigan they poisoned the blankets with smallpox to kill off the 
Indians and then ran out west also the Chinese were abused as they were 
hired to make the railroads so much in history was written by the ones 
that conquered and wrote the history books but thank God for the people 
that share the truth the underground real ran through Toledo actually 
Sylvania Ohio and was founded by a woman name sojourn truth I learned 
about this in 1967 at the heights of the race riots in Detroit as I went 
to a partially black school in 19 66-67 I made the comment one day that 
wasn't it nice to Lincoln freed the slaves in a gang of kids beat me up 
black girls actually because they said Lincolnton free the slaves  
sojourn truth dead
Yes I'm sure David kusomoto could write a book on the internment camps 
for the Japanese that we did during World War II there was so many 
racist actions taken against many people including the Irish the 
Italians the Germans and the British my family came here from Bermuda 
which is a British UK island and still is a UK isle
My father side immigrated here from Sicily so both sides of my family 
are immigrants ironically they came to the Toledo Ohio in 1947 as two of 
the sisters married ex GIs that were in World War II from the army and 
navy and Air Force


Anyways I voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976 and in 1960 my grandmother took 
me to see John F Kennedy at the courthouse downtown Toledo the guy was 
so Christmas I still remember and I was only five years old I just found 
out today Kennedy was 43 and 1960 the youngest president ever


I can relate because I was 43 when I got my divorce in the year 2000 I 
am now 67 I can't believe the stuff I've experienced in my lifetime and 
when I've heard stories from my grandparents and mother about the 
depression and how my grandfather fought in 1918 in World War I as a 
British doughboy and my my father was a sergeant in the US Marine Corps 
and fought in Korea my uncles were in world war two I think war is 
insane and I was all ready to be drafted in 1972 into Vietnam but I was 
a peace loving kid that love the Beatles and anything about peace and 
love and just one they were ready to draft me they stop the draft I 
think it was Nixon that stopped it although I have many friends who 
served in Vietnam one of them worked for me and used to load the bombs 
on the coral sea aircraft carrier for the US Navy and all of them have 
been stricken with either agent orange or PTSD
However wars make lots of money because if you see the cost of a jet 
fighter or a battleship or any of the armaments it is unbelievably 
costly money and that's why are you see the government spending and why 
the issues with Ukraine and Taijuan and Israel are focused on sending 
more weapons instead of finding ways to make peace it's been the focus 
of mankind since they came up with the atomic bomb and before going back 
to BC so mankind doesn't appear to have learned a lesson and now we have 
moved from the analog days to the digital digital age and now have 
introduced artificial intelligence where the entire world of reality is 
being blurred and no one knows what is real or what is fake in the news 
media or in motion pictures or in commerce and especially in politics
Spin Doctors and like have been around a long time to try to sway the 
vote but now it is reached the point where we don't know who is who or 
what is what are foods are being manipulated with bio engineering the 
medicines and vaccines are also being manipulated to where they have no 
idea what effect it's going to have

Don't know how many others are on Dave Lieberman's newsletter but I
hadn't visited his site in a long time and I went straight to his Star
Wars section - and I was floored by the wealth of information about
almost every known poster iteration of Star Wars - from concept to its
celebrated inaugural year of 1977 - (theatrical and commercial) - in
roughly chronological order. The section includes detailed images and
descriptions of known fakes, including personal testimonials of
oddball things he concedes he was initially fooled about like a lot of
us.

He also provides a detailed study of printer's proofs - which - while
I've never had the desire to collect nor own, is still interesting
insofar there are collectors who DO love and pay $$$ for them. He
explains how they came to be, their ubiquitous presence and the
differences between PMS (pantone) vs. CMYK proofs, which came first,
etc. - and why it matters to some collectors and not to others. Great
stuff for SW completists.

Encourage anyone interested to venture over there and take a gander,
not just at the massive Star Wars section - but also other sections,
including the one where he re-lives the entire minty white insert and
lobby card counterfeit saga - from his own point of view as a gallery
owner of many years in AZ. He further provides in one section - a long
list of titles and accompanying formats he implicates as having been
faked - in line with other dealers who've said the same. He also
sources the geographic locations of some suspect dealers who - to this
day - are still peddling these things as originals.

Between this, eMoviePoster, Learn About Movie Posters, Walter Reuben
and others - this is a storehouse of information grouped by category /
genre that's available right now - for free.

Best, David near San Diego, still the biggest fan of the never-faked
(to date) - and grossly underrated Star Wars half-sheet from 1977 with
alternate Jung art. Cinemasterpieces image below.

P.S. - The Chantrell art on the Style C is probably my true fav among
the SW one-sheets - were it not for the fakes and not even knowing
until recently about the "hair on Leia's back" as a marker on that
style - sort of a "bookend" to the style A repro. But I still think
the alternate Jung landscape art on the half-sheet is excellent and
affordable - and after nearly 50 years - it still puzzles me how
unloved it is by so many. (Not the centerpiece of anyone's SW
collection that I know of.) I know it will never reach the heights of
a Casablanca of Oz half-sheet in my remaining lifetime - (which are
admittedly more rare) - but maybe future generations of Disney fans
will. -d.

What kind of turkey schedules 1,000 auctions to end on Thanksgiving
Day?

My company, eMoviePoster.com, has 1,000 rolled posters (one-sheets,
non-U.S., special posters) closing Thursday at
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/14.html [1]

But there may be a method to my madness! Firstly, because a number of
these are collected more by non-U.S. buyers than U.S. buyers, and they
don't celebrate Thanksgiving at the same time as the U.S.

And for those in the U.S., many will be ready for a diversion from
endless football games and turkey dinner, and will be glad to spend
some time watching HONEST no reserve auctions, where every item TRULY
sells to the highest of two real bidders!

So why not start looking over these one-sheets, non-U.S. posters and
special posters right now at the above link, because it can take a
while to check out 1,000 auctions and in less than one day, these will
all be going, going, GONE!

And many of the current are insanely low. With just 21 HOURS left (as
of this writing), TWO HUNDRED FORTY SIX are at just $1 to $10, and 426
are at $1 to $20!

And being that these end on Thanksgiving, isn't it only fitting that
YOU say "No Thank You" to auctions that don't ALWAYS treat you the way
you deserve to be treated?

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTIONS! Some people have told us that they find it
hard to remember which movie poster auction is which, because there
are so many of them!

So we created this handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart
from all the rest!

HAS lifetime guarantees on every item - IS eMoviePoster.com
HAS unrestored and unenhanced images - IS eMoviePoster.com
HAS 100% honest condition descriptions - IS eMoviePoster.com
HAS auctions where the winner is the higher of two real bidders - IS

HAS "buyers premiums" - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS "reserves or starts over $1 - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS hidden bidder IDs - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS no customer service to speak of - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS "nosebleed" shipping charges - NOT eMoviePoster.com

Guys,
Have you noticed a seller on eBay named Famous Movie Posters of 
Filmland? They're listing some some very impressive reproductions of 
some expensive titles. Technology has now advanced to where an exact 
27 X 41" scan can be made. (They're also making repros of 24 sheets 
that are remarkably clear.) Human behavior being what it is, it seems 
like only a matter of time before someone tries to pass one of these 
off to an unsuspecting newbie. I have no idea what kind of paper these 
are printed on...a clear indication of the poster not being vintage to 
a savvy old-timer...but it gives me the wim-wams to think that these 
are out there, just waiting for some swine to go "Hmmm...".
These days, when the truth has become subjective, this kind of thing 
gives me pause. The repros ain't cheap; $125 for a very rare 
"Frankenstein" one sheet with an image like the title card.

Has anyone else seen these?

just wish all well i miss thelittle kids as they are sopolite and cute


as for thepaper most repos are on enamal stock coated paper  and are 
glossy flat paper is uncommon onthe reopos  or Ragstock..so perhaps the 
new repos have used a flat stock which make the InkPOP more IMHO

[MOPO] Mopo- memories, Poster, memorabil and legacy

2023-10-28 Thread Tom Martin
 I was just thinking as last night i stared to sift through boxes of 
stuff i saved years and years notes.. contactsand memories.. I saved 
everything,,,


whenyou need to go in reverse and are visual impaired and missinga foot 
its a bit overwhelming...

but here is what i do

 one giveit to God... Tom has limited brainpowerand whenyou getintoa 
crisis it compounds likea bad investment... but youwill find mostofthe 
stuff is not needed and evenifyou trash it it clears mental space..like 
weedinga garden.. so you can focusontasks at hand.. Hording andsaving 
stuffand not dealing with it freezes the ability to handle it...


 so ifyou weed out it gets clear er what you have... I callit BABY 
steps// we dont get screwed up overnight... put onweight..smole ,drink 
bad habits so same with debts bad marriage,,, anybad habit,atsame time 
even geting OCD or being organized can bea set up fora great fall i 
was organized but dothe shell game on my stuffand i become 
disoriented... lost..so what to do??
 star over///and Practice again..its the same as 1st time you sift out 
trash and give away. throww out.. or repurpose the stuff.. or sell it.. 
or reorganize it.. sound simple?? its NOT... if you collected 46-50 
years it will look like raiders ofthelost ark scene inthe warehouse..I 
save hardware, packing, parts, Books posters suff i rediscover because 
old men havea habit called maybe ill need this later so we buyintriple  
everything ..we think we will uselater so 5 10 years go buy and it get 
buried under boxes and stuff ,, so we also forget we have itas we wge... 
so it ends upimn a estate saleor Garage sale.. I bought things for years 
from estate sales... we tuck awayand say someday ill sell it or enjoy 
it... but it can become our TOMB of  stuff my Garage has tools i have 
notseen in 10 20 years.if i saw plumbing parts ata sale id buy it 
Justin case RIGHT???


we call people like that a pack rat or Horder... many inthe 1929 great 
depression did this as they feel its security,, but fact is if youkeep 
lean and justwhat you need you are mobile and dont need the same spaceto 
dust or the smell of musty books, posters and all as if you save stuffit 
can be 100s of years old like newspapers comics etc...so keep it 
simple// dont look at me ima living train wreck..but even at 67 i can go 
inreverse...and clean up my life..



I just thought what will people say afteri croak..well 1st he talked 
alot and was verble


wheni dontated to the bg pop culture dept the director said: you want to 
preserve your legacy..i said NO i want young kids to see whati did and 
enjoy the history of memorabilia so that was my hope..I dont care 
ifthey know who i amas i see i have always beena small blip onthe 
screen...I haventevenseen movie my son saw so iam not a cinema expert as 
some claim..i just have kicked around for67 years and learneda few 
things..but really i know very little...


so i thoughtifi craok soon what would ilike??? well i would like people 
to Laughand smile and talk about the silly stuffi didandperhaps if 
possible help My son and friends and each other,,, that would be 
cool..and help those suffering inthe world which is all of us..


what the celebs i was able to meet seemed to share with me was 
grattitude asthey learned how lucky theyw were to even do anything and 
they loved what they did..butlife  is a journeyand we can go up the 
mountain and fall down and if we can  help ease thepain of others we 
have truly found the purpose of life..whenwe understand the 
sufferingofanotherwe have learned our lesoon  on what God wanted us to 
know so we could value his plan and education..so then we Graduate 
fromthis short life... its a great plan andi find myself thanking God 
for my trials and failures a sufferingas its allowed me to  understand 
about everyone even the spiritually tormented ormentally ill..as they 
are just sick souls in need of redeemption the bestway tolearn is by 
mistakes and we all do it


when we rebel and try to fix stuff ourselves we can mess up even more.. 
but when we submit to God and ask for his guidance we seek his will not 
ours and its a mi
mind boggling experience for me as I can't believe how things seem to be 
put into place by a perfection I could never describe that defies my 
mortal logic
Things don't work out according to my time logic however when you trust 
that God has a purpose of goodness things work out in ways you would 
never anticipate using your own brain I believe the quote is all things 
work for good and God's plan to make us more like Jesus..
For the skeptics I would say I understand you very well and I question 
my
my own thoughts as I am the original doubting Thomas and he had a little 
faith before I asked God to show me answers to my questions about life 
and purpose
When we talk about the ego or beliefs and faith and religion and 
politics it can cause lots of dissension between people I share my 
testimony because I'm learning from

2023-10-28 Thread Tom Martin
Glenn I never say i am sorry for you loss as i honestly dont believe 
they are Gone forever... matterof facet even doctors scientists say that 
they even think ther can be a after life... many celebrities at the end 
ofthe earth life seem to consider it... I thought wait we gatherall 
thses friends and life experience and then POOF lightsout??? even the 
egyptians considered after life in Bc ..they just thought they could 
take the stuff to heaven with them and it seems we dont geta U-haul 
behind the hearse.. Christ says clear dontstore your treasures on earth 
but in Heaven,, our memories of Loved ones. Familyand friend to me are 
my best treasures..the stuff is stimuli to remind me of carrers ofthe 
ctors work but the people themselves are far more deep//whenwe share 
events ofa movie ora song or book it allows us to have a shared 
experience.. that can be heartwarming..thats whya spielberg of Disney 
can leave such a impression on our soul as well as even that bad 
experience like war, shootsingand hate.. I prefer the memories of Love. 
empathy. kindnessand charity over anger and hate and violence but why 
God allows us to experience the loss of Love and health is so we can see 
how  those things are such gifts/// i meta lady inthe nurseing home who 
was likea zombie..alzheimers..andshe was so scared she justwandered the 
halls they treated herlikea zombie.. one day i said: look i am scared 
also.. but maam Jesus has not left us...and she grabbed my hand and said 
you are right!! you are right!!and she like cvcame outofthe zombie 
trance and talked likea normal person..I said tothe nurses shes fine 
just needs to be comforted..many suffer PTSD aftera incidentof extreme 
stres Just ask the military people..and its Universal with stress.. no 
mater age, faith..money income.when life gets so out of order the mind 
buckles from stress.and we get lost and some times angered at others or 
we stop being able to do basic functions/// I get itandive seen it in 
Motion .. so I acctually THank Jesus for my sufferings as its educated 
me on others ...i dont havea cure all for everyone but in a way i do/// 
Pray to god and tell him your sorrow..he understands more then docs more 
then therapistss,,as he knows suffering verywell.. but on hislast earth 
breath he asked his father toforgive them as they didntknow what 
theywere doing..in otherwords he saw mortal men were ignorant ..even 
though theywere leaders of the world and had powerand money.. theywere 
all justas vulnerable as the next guy... I get it and thats why i 
toofail as iam Human with Human deesires..and the horrible EGO.. that 
tricks us


so Glenn You will be ok I believe at night ..pray to god and your 
familyand friends they have GPS and hear youand just tell them you were 
so thankful for the memories and just look forward to being reunited  
someday whenits your graduation time//and reflect onthe memories like we 
do when we look at our memorabilia and share it with othersGod bless 
you and your Family and friends and thanks for sharing your memories

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

I recently lost my father, two of my closest and dearest friends, a
sympatico high school chum who shared my love of pre-1950

Thanks Toochis..I agree andi beliebve we see friends and even pets after 
this short life we learn inthis life to forgive, to value others 
andlearn how short it is Iam still learning .. thanks for you words oof 
Kindness ..
I had another friend who is going through stress as many are and i got 
upset with him last night ..hes going to be 79 and he was trying 
toliston Marketplace.. I tried to help him and offered to look at the ad 
he made for a Santa clause 5 foot doll that was broke and animated ...he 
called me " stevie wonder" becauseiam visual impaired . . I told him off 
as i said it hurts when he makes fun of my disabilities//and i realized 
that he was responding with unkind words because he was stressed about 
life but I myself got upset because I was trying to help him and I don't 
know how to use marketplace myself my friend my friend has a drinking 
problem and his family does not respect him and one of his friends 
didn't pick him up to take him home from the car repair appointment so I 
had to realize and forgive him but I did tell him it was unacceptable to 
call me Stevie Wonder and make light of my visual impairment when all I 
was trying to do was help him you can look at world events and see that 
everybody's over reacting when they are angered or threatened like in 
the big picture my grandmother used to say sticks and stones may break 
your bones but words will never hurt me I understand how people on the 
Internet can be harmed by words when people bully on them or call them 
names and make fun of their sexual gender or their disabilities if they 
cannot do differently I'll get over it and my friend is the one who 
really needs prayer he must be in a very sad place to have to attack his 
friend trying to help him I understand he has a deeper problem than I do 
because I am learning to adapt to my disabilities and his is ruining his 
friendship with his family and friends so I will pray for him but sure 
it hurt
Have a wonderful Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas TOOCHIS THE

We want to give everyone one FINAL chance to consign to our
soon-to-start December Major Auction! Today was SUPPOSED to be the
final day in which to SEND your consignments to this December Major
Auction but because several people begged for a few extra days, we are
giving everyone 3 extra days in which to send your items (and remember
you only have to SEND them on Monday the 30th; they don't have to
ARRIVE by then).

We know that lots of people end up waiting for the very last moment to
consign, and this IS that last "moment"! If you DON'T get your
December Major Auction consignments on the way to us no later than
October 30th (3 days from today), then you will have to wait until our
April 2024 Major Auction! Why the extension? Because several long time
consignors called or emailed and said they needed the weekend to get
their tube or package ready, and rather than unfairly give them
something no one else gets, we are giving EVERYONE three extra days!

We have LOTS of excellent consignments already entered (see some of
the better items at
https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign_major#decmajor2023
[1] but know that some of the VERY best ones are still "in transit" to
us!), and we charge the lowest commissions of ANY major auction at
every price level (and anyone who says different is flat out lying;
see https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign#intro [2] for
absolute proof!), and we have auctioned more movie posters for more
money than anyone in the world. Why consign anywhere else when you can
consign to the best (and most honest and honorable) auction there is?
I also guarantee you this will be one of our best December Major
Auctions EVER!

And remember that, unlike many other auctions, which have perfected
the "art of auctioning without auctioning", we actually DO auction
every item we list, and they REALLY sell to the high bidders! So many
other auctions keep listing the very same items OVER AND OVER again
(and again, and again, and again!), and we don't mean the same TITLES,
but the actual exact same posters!

We don't know what that means, but it sure ISN'T what we do here at
eMoviePoster.com! EVERY one of our items actually sells, which is why
the ONLY time you seen the exact same items return to our auctions (a
fraction of the time that it happens at other auctions) is either when
a purchaser re-consigns it to us, or the very rare times (fewer than
one in 300 times at the very most) when the buyer never pays us, and
we always identify either of these when they happen.

That is why our auctions are such a "breath of fresh air" as opposed
to every other auction, and why we get better results overall, because
bidders and buyers love knowing that our auctions are completely
honest (and of course it also helps that we do everything else right
too!).

What are we looking for? While we of course prefer great items, we
will still accept ANY linen or paperbacked posters (if they are NOT in
lesser condition) or ANY truly rare and very desirable items (but with
a minimum realistic value of at least $300 if they are not backed. So,
unlike our other major auctions, your items don't have to be super
expensive, but it does REALLY help (both you and us!) if your items
are rare, desirable, and in pretty nice condition (no matter what
price range they are in) If they are not REALLY special, they will
surely do better in our "regular" auctions, and the thing you most
want (and we want!) is for your items to sell for the very most
possible, and if they will do better in the regular auctions, that is
where they should be!

And of course, if you have been following our recent results, we have
been "hitting it out of the park" with TONS of sky-high results, at
EVERY price level! And don't get me started on some of the prices on
the most expensive posters and lobby cards. Some of them have gone for
ASTRONOMICAL prices in our recent auctions! Given all this, I don't
see how anyone with ANY great items to sell would not be sending them
to us RIGHT NOW!

Dracula, Freaks and London After Midnight:

TOD BROWNING’S SPOOKY SILENT FILMS

_ALTHOUGH MOST FAMOUS FOR ‘DRACULA’ AND ‘FREAKS,’ THE DIRECTOR
DID HIS BEST WORK EARLIER IN HIS CAREER, INCLUDING TWO HALLOWEEN-READY
FILMS IN A NEW SET FROM CRITERION: ‘THE UNKNOWN,’ FEATURING LON
CHANEY, AND ‘THE MYSTIC.’_

By David Mermelstein - Oct. 23, 2023 5:54 pm ET - WALL STREET JOURNAL

 LON CHANEY IN ‘THE UNKNOWN’ - PHOTO: CRITERION COLLECTION

Before his pivot to movies, Tod Browning, who was born in Louisville,
Ky., in 1880, worked as a performer in carnivals and vaudeville.

The experience made him uniquely suited to direct pictures set in
milieus beyond the mainstream—as the freighted sound film
“Freaks” (1932), which essentially ended his career, surely
attests.

But his best work lies in silent cinema, where he honed his craft and
established his reputation.

Two such pictures, “The Mystic” (1925) and “The Unknown”
(1927), have just been released in welcome new 2K restorations, part
of a small collection from Criterion titled “Tod Browning’s
Sideshow Shockers.” Available on either Blu-ray or DVD, the two-disc
set also includes a restored “Freaks.”

But it’s the earlier silents, which are at times genuinely spooky,
that make perfect viewing during Halloween season, when reminders of
Browning’s most famous film, “Dracula” (1931), are ever-present.


Browning—whose given name, spelled just like the German word for
death, wasn’t “given” at all, but rather taken under
circumstances now mysterious—was a master at developing disturbing
themes and images.

Yet none of his other movies outstrip “The Unknown” for cumulative
creepiness—something we can now appreciate all the more given that
the 2022 reconstruction here making its home-video debut restores
roughly 10 minutes of footage to the film’s 67-minute running time.

The sixth of 10 films in which Browning collaborated with Lon Chaney,
the protean silent star still known as the Man of a Thousand Faces,
“The Unknown” is set primarily in a Madrid circus, where the actor
plays Alonzo, whose feats of dagger-throwing and sharpshooting are all
the more impressive for his being armless.

(Despite Chaney’s renown as a cinematic contortionist, a genuinely
armless carnival performer, Paul Desmuke, was artfully engaged as his
body double at various points in this film.)

 JOAN CRAWFORD IN ‘THE UNKNOWN’ PHOTO: CRITERION COLLECTION

Alonzo is in love with his beautiful assistant, Nanon, played by a
sympathetic Joan Crawford in her first important screen role.

That Nanon can’t bear the touch of any man’s hands would seem to
make them ideally suited, but there are two impediments: Alonso
isn’t actually armless (he’s just pretending to be), and Nanon has
another, far more handsome suitor, the strongman Malabar, played by
the suave Norman Kerry—the third and final time, following “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” that
Kerry would act as Chaney’s rival on film.

What lends the picture its especially ghoulish cast is how Alonzo
perversely opts to overcome these obstacles—“There is nothing I
will not do to own her! Nothing. . . . do you understand? Nothing!”
flashes a prescient title card.

And Philip Carli’s lively new solo-piano score only enhances Merritt
Gerstad’s evocative cinematography. (Shortly thereafter, Gerstad
shot Chaney again, in Browning’s “London After Midnight,” now
among the most famous “lost” films of the silent era.)

Far less familiar than “The Unknown” (let alone “Freaks”),
“The Mystic” is released here for the first time on home video.
And it is a boon not just for Browning fans, but also for those
partial to silent films generally.

At 74 minutes, it briskly tells of a trio of Hungarian
Gypsies—Aileen Pringle as Zara, the movie’s title character;
Mitchell Lewis, the paternal Zazarack; and Robert Ober, the
hot-headed, knife-throwing Anton—brought to the U.S. by an
enterprising American conman, Michael Nash (played by Conway Tearle),
convinced their talents are wasted in the European hinterlands.

AILEEN PRINGLE IN ‘THE MYSTIC’ PHOTO: CRITERION COLLECTION

After establishing Zara, transformed thanks to lavish art-deco
costumes by an uncredited Erté, as a spiritualist to the rich and
vulnerable, the foursome ultimately set their sights on a woefully
naïve young heiress, Doris Merrick (the thoroughly endearing Gladys
Hulette).

But love intervenes, with the previously steely Nash inconveniently
falling, in different ways, for both Zara and Doris.

Yes Tom I mean a picture like GWTW has never been embraced by ALL
African-Americans but at least one MoPo member (who is black) - wrote
me privately about how she grew up loving Hattie McDaniel, that she
could do no wrong and that the controversy goes back much further than
what is going on now. I think I wrote that what's going on now is just
how younger people look at things and we're all gonna be replaced soon
anyway, things change.

 As far as the eBay thing - I spent too much time trying to get the
program re-listed and added the following language to address the
"community standards" violation by presenting historical context, TCM
style:

 " This program is presented as an historical artifact of 1939 - and
NOT intended to promote, perpetuate, nor glorify hatred, violence, or
discrimination, on the grounds of race, ethnicity, color, religion,
gender, or sexual orientation. It was recalled after the LA premiere
NOT because of Hattie McDaniel's depiction - but because she was
African-American. Though her performance is no longer universally
admired - this program is an artifact - and its recall illustrates
social and cultural forces in play in 1939 - and why contemporaneous
marketers chose to suppress her performance in the film - despite
receiving critical acclaim. Her character was not how she was in real
life. Her honors and linkages to GWTW are factual - despite debates
about what her performance meant in 1939 - vs. what it means today."

 Of course, I thought this was typical overkill that I'm known for -
so I punted. I was aware of the huge result Bruce got last time (and
so did others) - and we wondered if it was a one-off. We're gonna find
out soon. I do think it will fetch more than $100 though - if only
because the Hattie program has appeared just once in his entire
auction history. - d.

 P.S. - I remember thinking that my Japanese Internment camp poster
from 1942 was also dicey - but it went big on his site thanks to bids
from a big-time rare book dealer I recognized from LA. I feel that
selling pure history (vs. entertainment) in this case - was gonna be
more difficult than selling movie paper with controversial linkages.

I'll admit I've been sensitive to the Israeli conflict as I feel sorry 
for both sides as the Palestinians are suffering also as well as the 
Israelites but Christ told us all this was going to happen before he 
came back my friend Lee who is a German send it he believes now that 
Christ is about ready to return but he thinks possibly it's an alien and 
he thinks that the artificial intelligence is somehow corrupting the

hallucinations and being told to shoot up the national guard Armory 
because he was a instructor the politicians are losing their minds I 
don't know which way to turn Christ tells us that even the most elect 
would be deceived at the end times I would say that's happening I don't 
know what the hell I'm talking about but I'm pretty damn sure it's about 
love and forgiveness and that most of the world is coming to that 
realization it's about forgiveness and helping our people specially the

Great list Bruce, though I will add that I consider a small portable
black light at least as important as a really strong regular light
when attempting to detect restoration. Especially when you are looking
at pieces backed on heavy board (and as you mentioned a bright light
alone usually doesn't cut it there).

Seeing your mention of bestine to "save the day" though does make me
remember one question I am always meaning to ask you: Why exactly does
Emovieposter use paper-damaging masking tape when packing up parcels
for customers, instead of the far more paper friendly "blue" tape that
most other major auction houses/dealers use? Surely using blue tape
will result in a lot less situations where bestine is needed to save
the day. I also find the blue tape a lot more friendly on the
polybags/packing supplies in allowing them to be reused and helping
keep everything a little bit greener.

Best,

Did you know that there are some basic items that EVERY movie
memorabilia collector should consider owning?

We are often contacted by collectors with various concerns or
requests that pertain to collecting movie paper such as "how can I
protect the tear in my poster without restoration", "how can I
safely remove this piece of tape", "how can I more easily open
packages", etc.

So we thought it would be helpful to make a list of some of the
items we think ALL movie paper collectors should strongly consider
owning:

*Lineco Document Repair Tape and Lineco Transparent Mending Tissue
- This is tape that is safe for use on movie paper. You can use it
on the back of items to secure tears.

*Bestine (or "Un-du") - This is a solvent that can dissolve the
sticky part of tape making the tape easily removed without damage to
movie paper and is therefore super useful in removing tape from
older posters, and also can "save the day" if you accidentally get
tape stuck to a poster when removing it from a package.

NOTE: This is a highly flammable and dangerous substance and should
only be used in a well ventilated area, and ONLY if you are at least
somewhat "handy" and will be EXTREMELY careful using it. Be sure to
read ALL of the manufacture's warnings before use.

*A utility knife, Xacto knife, or similar - This is wonderful for
opening well packed packages (such as those eMoviePoster.com uses).
NOTE: You should always cut with care as these knives are extremely
sharp and WILL cut through several pieces of cardboard with ease,
and can also cut into YOU with even greater ease. You definitely do
NOT want to accidentally cut your movie paper (or yourself)!

*A REALLY strong light (like 400 watts or stronger) - This is
wonderful if you own or are considering buying restored items. When
you hold those items up before a light source like this, you will
likely be able to practically "see" right through the linen or paper
backing, and you can likely see the extent of the restoration.

You will need some practice to know how to interpret what you see
in some cases, but in many cases it will be very obvious (like where
a large hole was recreated by being painted over). But be prepared
to be shocked in some cases, because some auctions describe some
items as having "minor fold and border restoration", when the actual
restoration is far greater, because they are counting on the buyers
not being knowledgeable to know the difference.

And also, know that if an item (usually a window card, half-sheet
or insert) is backed onto a heavy board backing, you likely can't
get a light bright enough to shine through it, but just the fact
that this kind of restoration was performed is almost a guarantee
that the restoration was extensive. And also, when acrylic

would walk over to the Cherokee Bookstore and savored many of their
posters and photos (and bought back issues of Astounding Science

Bookshop, where my brother and I wound up buying a great deal of
posters and stills over the years. They were the only ones that had
material on our special favorite films. Larry Edmunds was evidently

their own stills and scripts to his store my god some of the

Have to dig much deeper to figure out that this "original" poster is a

Re: [MOPO] TV's 1st Lois Lane has passed away

2023-10-12 Thread Tom Martin

happy graduation Phyllis- God bless

I met Noel Neill at acomic convention one year i was trying to Help Adam 
West getin the 89 Batman andi asked her if she would help///I figured 
herand Jack Larson may have some impact..I just spoke to her very brief 
but she jus said Good luck
My fave Superman was George Reeves...and i was born in 19566 so i dont 
remember Phyllis very well,,,maybe they looked similar??


Great show as all the early shows were like leave it to Beaver, Lone 
Ranger , Gilligan's Island, Adams Family, Munsters, Lucy, Combat, Voyage 
to Bottom of the Sea, all the westerns Like POnderosa, Gunsmoke, 
bewitched, Star trek, Jackie Gleeson, Johnny Carson, so many Baby 
boomers were so Lucky we had the best they still rerun them.. even the 3 
stooges.and early Marx Bros.
I still like old Tv and watch re runs allthe time..The writers were 
great,,

a I would bet many mopop people also like the old shows Too
I still have TV?radio guide magazines as thatwas theplace to get 
articles onthe fave TV starsts,,and soaps like dr,Kildare and all the 
others,,plus had the popular stars of the day even Music like Elvisand 
others i left poout beverly hillbillies..the sound man from Glen glen 
sound who did the Hillbillies came in My shop we talked about the 
special EQ they used on those 60s tv show very midrange and punchy he 
was impressed i knew the suble sounds and they used great gear to record 
my area i liked in Movies and production was the camera and the sounds 
and lights  and technical aspects I sold a 35nn novie camera edward 
Morrow filmed his cbs TV show with..andI had some old Movie cameras that 
filmed some real history like old wood 35mm Hand cranks...I knew a gut 
that boughtallthe mgm gear when Sony bought the old MGM studios...I 
bought mole Richarson 2K fresnels and had to take the mgm logo off as i 
sold them To Paramount..they were 30s vintage cast iron and could have 
been used on Wizard of Oz or GWTW   wow


I must stop before i go in meltdown mode..:)

[MOPO] mopo - amember vents about everything on the planet !!!

2023-10-11 Thread Tom Martin

OK...i am haveinga kodak moment

I was supposed to geta new roof on my house today..the roofer called and 
said we are putting on hold as we wre finishing another house..OK


so the phone rings..and my mortgage lendeer at 8 am has me on phone 
asking me ifi want a home equity loan on my home/...I just gavetheguy a 
ranton debt that i dont like it as i survived a chap13 bankruptcy in 
1993 I told the young man who is my son's age that my grandmother told 
me if you can't afford it don't buy anything I learned a great lesson by 
going bankrupt by getting a divorce and lots of other things that using 
credit cards and installments I'm glad it's a bad move I paid off all my 
credit cards and I'm debt-free I use credit cards as tools to pay my 
overhead and they are paid off in full each month I don't carry any and 
what happens is you keep building up more and more credit because the 
banks can see that you're good at managing your money and that you pay 
your debts
You also build credibility with the credit reporting agencies even if 
you pay your light bill and your gas bill you show a track record of 
your credibility I have even paid my bills while I've been deathly ill 
in the hospital which is a feat in itself I also know how to get into 
debt


I bought two cars in brand new in 1989 Ford Aerostar van and a Ford 
ranger pick up truck also I bought furniture televisions computers your 
name and I bought advertising and various things so I know how to miss 
manage money also and I agreed with my ex-wife to take to cross country 
vacations all the way to California and all the way down to Florida to 
New Orleans and back again in Arizona where her dad  lived
 I think we spent 40 or $50,000 alone on vacations to go to those 
destinations with the intentions that it would save the marriage not 
only did it not save the marriage but it ran up close to $100,000 in 
debt between the house the cars and the vacations and other extreme miss 
spending so my other beef today was that I kept getting messages on 
Facebook from scammers when they see you write something positive to
thank a celebrity they delusional with messages offering free items and 
tell you to miss direct you to another site to scam you because they see 
you as a soft hit if you show compassion for your fellow human beings so 
today Paul McCartney started sending me direct messages and I told the 
person who are who is ever pretending to be Paul McCartney why would you 
write me? Play Paul McCartney said well I've seen all the positive post 
you made about me and I like to talk to my fans now Paul McCartney
 definitely does not need Tom Martin's advice or help or acknowledgments 
so I told the scammer why don't you do something to help other people 
Arnold Schwarzenegger's new book is called be useful believe it or not 
they also scammed me on Arnolds Facebook page after I told him keep up 
the good work and told him I hope his book had good sales next thing I 
know somebody said you won an iPhone and a book which I told them donate 
it to Arnolds cause after school all stars to help the kids then another 
post came and said I won $3000 again I told them donate it to Arnolds 
after school all stars I would be a liar if I didn't tell you that the 
negativity of these people makes me very sad because they are all 
looking to take a vantage of the week and elderly and people that are 
fans of celebrities and good
So then we have the news of Palestine and Israel and that's just plain 
insane because there are good Palestinians and there are disruptors in 
every field of the world that's the problem right now whether the 
politics the auto workers medical industry or anything people are so 
full of anger and hate they are taking it out on each other and hurting 
innocent people I finally decided the best dancer was put it in God's 
hands because he can see all this crazy stuff and if anybody would take 
the time to research the Bible it was told this would all happen that 
even the most elect would be deceived during the end times so I'm not 
surprised it's happening like clockwork it's just keep blaming God on 
the heirs of mankind blaming computers and technology in the computers 
were made by who God I don't think so they were made by man and man is 
the one who polluted the Earth and who causes war and who kills people 
and who is takes a vantage of the week in the elderly and children and 
those of weak spirit but I will tell you this I believe there is a 
supernatural God who is watching over all of us and when the time is 
right will correct all the millenniums of hate and anger and deception 
that we have caused pain and suffering on each other if you agree simply 
in your quiet space pray to God that all of us be forgiven for our 
mistakes and that his will be done- amen !

Sorry for the incorrect dates! Corrected dates below:

My company, eMoviePoster.com, has 3,185 auctions ending on October
24th, 26th and 29th in the 3 parts of our 24th Annual Halloween
Auction! These auctions contain so many varied items that at least
some of them are likely to be of great interest to virtually EVERY
collector! What's in these three sets of auctions?

Our current Tuesday auctions ending October 24th at
https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html [1] contain1,356
folded horror/sci-fi one-sheets, lobby cards, and much MORE. This
has a fabulous selection of VERY rarely seen items covering a very
wide range of years and sizes!

Our current Thursday auctions ending October 26th at
https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/14.html [2] contain 1,093
rolled horror/sci-fi one-sheets and posters of EVERY other kind. If
you are looking for a great poster (U.S. or non-U.S., movie or
non-movie) to display on your wall, you are almost certain to find
many candidates here!

Our Sunday auctions ending October 29th at
https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html [3] contain 737
linenbacked horror/sci-fi posters & items that ship in non-standard
boxes or tubes. You'll find some of the very best horror/sci-fi
posters here (and some in the other two parts as well)!

Or (for the next 14 days, until the Tuesday auctions start to close
on the 29th) view ALL of the 3,185 current auctions in a single
gallery at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html [4], which
is especially valuable if you want to search ALL of the current
3,185 auctions at once for a star, title, size or whatever!

It is virtually a certainty that no matter what you collect you will
find items of interest in this massive supermarket selection, and
not only that, but we add a similar selection every four weeks, and
you can wait SIXTEEN full weeks to have your purchases shipped,
which saves you a fortune on combined shipping.
o
Unlike other auctions, ours all start at $1 with no reserve, and all
our items really sell! And we have NO buyers premiums, and we never
enhance the images, and we honestly describe all that we auction.
Who could ask for anything more?

Not yet registered to bid? Go to
https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Registration.taf [5] to sign up
(we qualify our bidders, something few auctions do, which means you
will always be bidding against real bidders who honor their bids).

And if YOU are not interested in these, but have friends who would
be (because they collect items like these or would find just one of
interest) then do us (and them!) a favor by helping spread the word
to them before these close!

bruce and mopo-
packing 1sheets folded

I use a l-bar sealer 22 x17 shrink wrap the films is a film called 
Clysar by i think Dupont, it can be shrunk after its sealed.. record 
albums where done this way inthe 50 60 70s



I put 2 sheets of corrogated boardd on the poster and sandwich it.theni 
place inthe shrink wrap machine itseals 2 sides andwelds theplastic so 
its impervious to water ifthe box get wet or damp.. theni takea heat gun 
and shrink it tight... I also use 1/16 inch  etha foam to wrap the 
posterand place in a priority mail box. i stuff foam around the inside 
unit to give protectionagaints puncture


a lbar sealer new is like 2000.00
I have 2 units as i used in my productionof Clocks and clappers,,, 
theroll of  film are like 3500 center fold film so2 sides are already 
seled andthe machine welds and cuts the other 2
 almost all package is dont withshrink wrap..i also had tunnels thatwere 
220 toconveyor shrink for volume\


I sold them

if you are on a budget you gat get a single straightarm on ebay from 
china for like 100.00  to do small items itwil work on Mylaror PE. or 
most films..ithas a hot wire that cuts it..I bought one just to have 
forsmall projects...


they also  make ready bags in mylar on ebay in like 25 count to do small 
stuff
otherwise for retail i use Poly bogs from Bagas unlimited and get 
corrogated sheets to back one sheets for retail display i give the 
boards withthepostersale
when i get the boards best price is like 1000-2000 b-dflute  vertical 
flutes and they caot like 80 -100 each

I try to get white claycoat oneor both sides

It sells a posterat shows or retail shopand peopple can flip through 
thetitles


it takes a talent to inset theposter without ripping however overtime 
you learn the art ofinserting


Ive used the same for inserts as well..i but theboards from Bags 
unlimited.



where i am at i get free shipping but tyheone sheets boards can take 
lots of warehouse space as they can fill [allets like 2 8 foot high


so 2 one sheets can cost you like 3 k to put on boards yet if the 
posters retail for 20-30 each you havea decent Gross potential


if you have 50-100 do the math  if a few 200-400 you can have lots of 
fun///


I generally had 2-3000 poster on display in my shop ..rolled i would 
putin rolled sleevessandfdisplayon wings andpeople could choose and find 
the labeled poster in a rack for my smaller or commercial titles

great Ideas Sen.I used masking tape.. however low tack and cover the 
posterwith ethafoam ora sacrificed poster  but the blue ta[e is a 
better idea,,i also have a black light i got from a optical doctor years 
ago. we can always learn new stuff so thanks//also wheni would get 
crinkled poster if you use a iron set on low with a slip sheet orhgwel 
you can iron out the posters crinkles ,you need to be careful with Low 
heat,,  some use a dry mount press..just very sensitive touch//also 
rolling a poster backwards relaxes the ripples

the key is to be carefull..

Great list Bruce, though I will add that I consider a small portable
black light at least as important as a really strong regular light
when attempting to detect restoration. Especially when you are looking
at pieces backed on heavy board (and as you mentioned a bright light
alone usually doesn't cut it there).

Seeing your mention of bestine to "save the day" though does make me
remember one question I am always meaning to ask you: Why exactly does
Emovieposter use paper-damaging masking tape when packing up parcels
for customers, instead of the far more paper friendly "blue" tape that
most other major auction houses/dealers use? Surely using blue tape
will result in a lot less situations where bestine is needed to save
the day. I also find the blue tape a lot more friendly on the
polybags/packing supplies in allowing them to be reused and helping
keep everything a little bit greener.

Best,

Did you know that there are some basic items that EVERY movie
memorabilia collector should consider owning?

We are often contacted by collectors with various concerns or
requests that pertain to collecting movie paper such as "how can I
protect the tear in my poster without restoration", "how can I
safely remove this piece of tape", "how can I more easily open
packages", etc.

So we thought it would be helpful to make a list of some of the
items we think ALL movie paper collectors should strongly consider
owning:

*Lineco Document Repair Tape and Lineco Transparent Mending Tissue -
This is tape that is safe for use on movie paper. You can use it on
the back of items to secure tears.

*Bestine (or "Un-du") - This is a solvent that can dissolve the
sticky part of tape making the tape easily removed without damage to
movie paper and is therefore super useful in removing tape from
older posters, and also can "save the day" if you accidentally get
tape stuck to a poster when removing it from a package.

NOTE: This is a highly flammable and dangerous substance and should
only be used in a well ventilated area, and ONLY if you are at least
somewhat "handy" and will be EXTREMELY careful using it. Be sure to
read ALL of the manufacture's warnings before use.

*A utility knife, Xacto knife, or similar - This is wonderful for
opening well packed packages (such as those eMoviePoster.com uses).
NOTE: You should always cut with care as these knives are extremely
sharp and WILL cut through several pieces of cardboard with ease,
and can also cut into YOU with even greater ease. You definitely do
NOT want to accidentally cut your movie paper (or yourself)!

*A REALLY strong light (like 400 watts or stronger) - This is
wonderful if you own or are considering buying restored items. When
you hold those items up before a light source like this, you will
likely be able to practically "see" right through the linen or paper
backing, and you can likely see the extent of the restoration.

You will need some practice to know how to interpret what you see in
some cases, but in many cases it will be very obvious (like where a
large hole was recreated by being painted over). But be prepared to
be shocked in some cases, because some auctions describe some items
as having "minor fold and border restoration", when the actual
restoration is far greater, because they are counting on the buyers
not being knowledgeable to know the difference.

And also, know that if an item (usually a window card, half-sheet or
insert) is backed onto a heavy board backing, you likely can't get a
light bright enough to shine through it, but just the fact that this
kind of restoration was performed is almost a guarantee that the
restoration was extensive. And also, when acrylic paint is used, you
also may have trouble seeing "through it", but again, just the fact
that this kind of restoration was performed is almost a guarantee
that the restoration was extensive.

And it is not that you shouldn't buy restored items, just that you
should be accurately informed as to how much restoration the item
has had, either by the seller, or by you, examining the item in the
way described above. Once you know the truth, you can better decide
how much to pay.

Did you know that there are some basic items that EVERY movie
memorabilia collector should consider owning?

We are often contacted by collectors with various concerns or requests
that pertain to collecting movie paper such as "how can I protect the
tear in my poster without restoration", "how can I safely remove this
piece of tape", "how can I more easily open packages", etc.

So we thought it would be helpful to make a list of some of the items
we think ALL movie paper collectors should strongly consider owning:

*Lineco Document Repair Tape and Lineco Transparent Mending Tissue -
This is tape that is safe for use on movie paper. You can use it on
the back of items to secure tears.

*Bestine (or "Un-du") - This is a solvent that can dissolve the sticky
part of tape making the tape easily removed without damage to movie
paper and is therefore super useful in removing tape from older
posters, and also can "save the day" if you accidentally get tape
stuck to a poster when removing it from a package.

NOTE: This is a highly flammable and dangerous substance and should
only be used in a well ventilated area, and ONLY if you are at least
somewhat "handy" and will be EXTREMELY careful using it. Be sure to
read ALL of the manufacture's warnings before use.

*A utility knife, Xacto knife, or similar - This is wonderful for
opening well packed packages (such as those eMoviePoster.com uses).
NOTE: You should always cut with care as these knives are extremely
sharp and WILL cut through several pieces of cardboard with ease, and
can also cut into YOU with even greater ease. You definitely do NOT
want to accidentally cut your movie paper (or yourself)!

*A REALLY strong light (like 400 watts or stronger) - This is
wonderful if you own or are considering buying restored items. When
you hold those items up before a light source like this, you will
likely be able to practically "see" right through the linen or paper
backing, and you can likely see the extent of the restoration.

You will need some practice to know how to interpret what you see in
some cases, but in many cases it will be very obvious (like where a
large hole was recreated by being painted over). But be prepared to be
shocked in some cases, because some auctions describe some items as
having "minor fold and border restoration", when the actual
restoration is far greater, because they are counting on the buyers
not being knowledgeable to know the difference.

And also, know that if an item (usually a window card, half-sheet or
insert) is backed onto a heavy board backing, you likely can't get a
light bright enough to shine through it, but just the fact that this
kind of restoration was performed is almost a guarantee that the
restoration was extensive. And also, when acrylic paint is used, you
also may have trouble seeing "through it", but again, just the fact
that this kind of restoration was performed is almost a guarantee that

should be accurately informed as to how much restoration the item has
had, either by the seller, or by you, examining the item in the way
described above. Once you know the truth, you can better decide how
much to pay.

*A map file or other storage equipment - As we all know, movie paper
can be very valuable, so why not store it in a way that best protects
your investment? A map file is a great way to do this if you have
space because it allows you to store one-sheet-size and smaller
posters unfolded and flat. Boxes or tubes are also acceptable if you
don't have the space (or funds) for a large map file.

"Did you know... that many people have different views on how to best
store their movie paper collection?" at
https://www.emovieposter.com/tips_archive.php?id=409=best%20store
[1]

*A digital camera or phone with an excellent built-in camera - Either
is an invaluable tool for when you want to get advice from someone
online about your posters or share images of your favorite posters
with the world OR if you want to offer items for sale

*Spreadsheet or database software - A great tool for cataloging one's
collection (and there are free ones such as LibreOffice or
GoogleDocs). You will have to have a little higher level of computer
expertise to easily use such software (although, we hear GoogleDocs
makes things fairly easy), but enlisting the help of a "computer nerd"
family member can get you on the path to using this software. You may
also be able to find commercial "collection" software to aid you in
cataloging your collection, but we don't know of any good software
that is specifically dedicated to movie paper.

How To Turn Bad Into Good
What happens when you're faced with change or a difficult situation? The 
way you perceive challenges can make all the difference between getting 
crushed or conquering life's obstacles.



Welcome to the positive corner of the internet. Here's a daily digest 
designed to make you healthier in less than 5 minutes. If you were 
forwarded this message, you can get the free daily email here.​


Today's Health Upgrade
It's a stretch

How to turn bad into good

Recipe of the week



Arnold's Podcast


Motivation every day. Want Arnold to help you start your day? Each 
morning, we post a new podcast with tips you'll find in the daily email 
and bonus stories, wisdom, and motivation from Arnold. Listen to 
Arnold's Pump Club podcast. It's like the daily newsletter but with 
additional narration and thoughts from Arnold. You can subscribe on 
Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen to podcasts.




It's A Stretch
Few people enjoy stretching, but what if the benefits differed from what 
you've been told? A new study suggests that stretching can help you 
build muscle.


We've been critical of stretching in the past, not because it can't help 
but because many of the claims are overstated. For example, lifting 
weights with a full range of motion can improve your flexibility as much 
as traditional stretching, according to past research.


But that doesn't mean stretching doesn't have value. It's all about how 
you use it. This new study compared an intense stretching routine to 
traditional strength training and found that both groups increased 
strength and muscle growth.


What's the catch? First of all, most people find stretching boring 
(including us). And the amount of stretching you need to do to build 
muscle is significantly more than the amount of time you need to lift 
weights.


In the study, the stretching group had to perform intense stretching for 
1 hour per day compared to just 15 minutes of lifting weights a few 
times per week. In other words, 7 hours of stretching produces the same 
results as 45 minutes of lifting weights. We're unsure about you, but we 
don't have 7 hours per week to stretch.


That said, the findings could be helpful in times when you don't have 
access to a gym or are battling an injury or setback. Instead of 
thinking you can't do anything, you can do a stretching routine to help 
maintain muscle and strength if you can't lift weights. Or, you can 
combine stretching with a bodyweight routine and continue to make 
progress.


How to Turn Bad Into Good
With the right mindset, your worst moments can become part of the path 
to better times.


Research suggests that viewing change as a part of life — rather than a 
hardship — can turn difficult moments into opportunities that make you 
better.


How change is used for good or bad is known as "allostatic load," and it 
all depends on how you process challenging moments. In other words, it's 
not the number of stressful situations you encounter — it's how you 
perceive difficult moments — that determines whether you grow stronger 
or suffer disease or demise.


According to the researchers, "Behavioral responses to challenge also 
lead to protective and damaging effects and produce a form of allostatic 
load. An individual's behavior can increase or decrease further risk for 
harm or disease—for example, antisocial responses such as hostility and 
aggression vs. cooperation and conciliation; risk-taking behaviors such 
as smoking, drinking, and physical risk-taking vs. self-protection; poor 
diet and health practices vs. good diet and exercise."


How to grow from change is a concept explored in great detail in the 
fantastic new book Master of Change by Brad Stulberg.


As Stulberg writes: "Unlike old ways of approaching change, we'd benefit 
from conceiving of change not as an acute event that happens to you, but 
rather as a constant of life, a cycle in which you are an ongoing 
participant."


The next time you face change, be it the smaller day-to-day stuff or, 
the more significant disruptions we all face, ask yourself what 
behaviors would support you in adapting to change and do what you can to 
stick with them.


As Arnold says, you can either sit and sulk about your misfortune, or 
you can put in the reps, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and improve 
the situation. We all will face moments of change, disappointment, and 
failure. But they can be a springboard to something better if you have 
the right mindset.

[MOPO] MOPO-my Arnold Schwarzenegger story-to inspire others and make myself useful

2023-10-04 Thread Tom Martin
One day in 2007 after my recent divorce I was trying to get my business 
back on its feet after completing a chapter 13 reorganization and 
getting divorced and having to buy another house and I was financially 
bust I still had my inventory and I still had inventory and my 
manufacturing equipment to make movie real clocks in clapboards and 
directors megaphone


So I was in my van with my son and the phone rang and they said this is 
Arnold Schwarzenegger's office we would like to place an order for some 
of your clipboards I thought it was some kind of a joke or a scam and I 
said yeah right I'm Mickey Mouse they said no we're serious we would 
like to buy your clipboards at the time Arnold was governor of 
California I thought why would the governor of California want to order 
clapboards from me?
Well it turns out it was true he wanted to give away clipboards at the 
governors conference where all the governors of the United States gather 
and have some kind of convention I believe the actual event was in 2008 
so I got the gig end it was in a good timing because I really needed the 
cash flow because my house payments were $1084 a month and Lehman 
brothers who was my lender how do locked me into a interest rate of like 
9% $1084 a month house payment but it was all I could get because the 
housing bubble was starting to burst so Arnold's order was a good shot 
in the arm what's been funny yes I received a package in the mail after 
I did the order and it had a signed 8 x 10 picture of him holding the 
clapboard at a podium and was in a presentation folder from the 
governors office of California I never asked for a signed picture he 
just did it is a kind gesture I was very thankful I actually sent him a 
couple Steve Reeves movie poster  as w a thank you


I also received an order for a nonprofit group called after school all 
stars that I think Arnold was part of they ordered clapboards to give 
out is awards two kids and I found out later Arnold what is the one who 
started after school all stars so I think he was giving me work then I 
didn't even know about was connected to him he seems to be a very humble 
guy who is very thankful and tries to help other people out


So then he has the newsletter emails me each morning at like four or 5 
o'clock in the morning call the pump club and it offers advice on diet 
and exercise and mental health and all kinds of things to try to inspire 
others I keep asking him what about the spirit? Yes I believe both he 
and Sylvester Stallone are Christians so I've been pleading with him to 
discuss faith as I believe the pyramid of life is body mind and Spirit 
are combined anyways every morning I get the pump club newsletter and I 
recommend it to everyone on Mopo also Arnold holds his Arnold classic in 
Columbus Ohio every year so he's really close and I understand why he 
comes to Ohio and she was good friends with the founder of nationwide 
insurance Company JIM Arnold speaks all the time of friendships with 
people in the industry and people that gave him a break when he was just 
starting his father Gustav gave him the foundation of hard work and 
being useful


What really impressed me about the guy the most is his ability to admit 
mistakes as he had a out of wedlock child with his housekeeper and it 
really damaged his family and his relationship with Maria Shriver his 
wife the fact the courage to admit he made mistakes and he acknowledged 
his son Joseph really impressed me because I am an out of wedlock child 
myself and I was never acknowledged by my dad until late in life and 
then he died in 1994 and I never had the chance to even meet him 
face-to-face I for gave my dad but I admit it was very hurtful to me to 
experience that furthermore my dad married a airline stewardess and they 
named her son Tom my dad's name was also Tom and I have a half brother 
name Tom and my son is named Tom be a TV show


So Arnold has a new book out ironically called be useful and I called my 
local library Toledo public library and I said why don't you bring 
Arnold to Toledo and he could do a talk in a book signing at the 
Stranahan center a 2000 Seat theater that has hosted many authors book 
signings I saw Peter Bogdanovich there myself
And I think Caroline Kennedy debuted her book there also one year so I 
made the phone call and she did the idea in the special events 
coordinators at the library and I tried to post on Facebook to Arnold to 
give him the idea to come to Toledo we are in close proximity between 
Columbus Detroit and Cleveland 150 miles either direction so who knows 
if you don't try you never know and I was trying to be useful

here is Arnolds Facebook Page
https://www.facebook.com/arnold

Phillip Kainbacher is from Austria and rides bikes with Arnold and maybe 
he can inspire him to come to Toledo...
I am still healing from all my physical issues.. But i can still blab

of course he'd prefer that none of these complaints were brought up

with complaints should talk about this - (in public) - while
everyone else should keep their mouths shut. _WELL, THAT'S NOT
GONNA HAPPEN SO LONG AS YOU KEEP STRINGING THINGS OUT WITH INSULTS -
OVER WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A DONE DEAL._

amicus brief for "aggrieved" merchants - while I see myself as being
a friend to both customers AND merchants - armed with far less
poison. So your involvement, your whole line of argument is beyond
contradictory - because it's a line travels a complete circle back
to yourself, and you have a blind spot so big that you can't even
see it.

* I'VE GOT NO BEEF WITH PETER and regard him highly, at least
compared to his former biz partner back in the day who had a promo
for a famous Fritz Lang 3-sheet that was seized shortly after it
went up. I should have probably shut up about that too, huh. Not my
place, right? But ok for the Hollywood

Reporter and other news outlets to chime in. *shrug*

Halloween Auction is now live at

This is all "treat" and no "trick"! You get a wonderful selection,
honestly described, and photographed, all with NO reserves or odious
buyers premiums!

1,356 folded one-sheets, lobby cards, and much MORE, and you will not
believe the selection (it covers all years and sizes)!

What makes eMoviePoster.com auctions different from ALL other auctions
ANYWHERE in the world? I am glad you asked!

The Top Ten ways you know you are bidding in an eMoviePoster.com
auction, and NOT in any other major auction!
HAS lifetime guarantees on every item - IS eMoviePoster.com
HAS unrestored and unenhanced images - IS eMoviePoster.com
HAS 100% honest condition descriptions - IS eMoviePoster.com
HAS auctions where the winner is the higher of two real bidders - IS
eMoviePoster.com

HAS "buyers premiums" - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS "reserves or starts over $1 - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS hidden bidder IDs - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS no customer service to speak of - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS "nosebleed" shipping charges - NOT eMoviePoster.com
HAS inadequate packaging - NOT eMoviePoster.com

Not yet registered to bid? Go to
https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Registration.taf [2] to sign up (we
qualify our bidders, something few auctions do, which means you will
always be bidding against real bidders who honor their bids).

And if YOU are not interested in these, but have friends who would be
(because they collect items like these or would find just one of
interest) then do us (and them!) a favor by helping spread the word to
them before these close!
