[MOPO] still subscribe to MCW?

[Walton, Jeffrey]

Just wondering how many people still subscribe to Movie Collector's World.  I stumbled upon an old copy (Dec 1999) in my office while I was getting ready to move to my new office - and just realized how much I missed it.  I think this internet thing sort of got in the way but looking back -  oh how I hated calling only to hear those words..."Sorry it sold already'"  DAMN.....oh how I later loved this showing up on my doorstep via FedEx so I could grab all the hot deals prior to anyone else "yes I still have it" -  It was a place to peruse all the dealers in one place.  It was a place where Stephen Fisher would offer you $2,800 for Creature of the Black Lagoon one sheet or $31,000 for a Black Cat one sheet (see what our guy Todd has his for on ebay right now - beautiful poster btw).  It was a place to find Bags Unlimited, auction news, events, Reelin in the news...Granada Posters, Moe's Movie Madness, Motion Picture Arts Gallery's full page ad, The Last Moving Picture Company's alphabetical ads which always seem to cut off just above the title I was looking for, the back page Bruce ad, Walter Reuben (where I got my mint Tobor one sheet for a song many many many years ago), J. Fields Studio, and Jerry Ohlinger's Monroe ads, handwritten ads where you have to call to get a description of not only what kind of condition the poster was in but what it actually looked liked - try visualizing a polish poster for Alien being described on the phone - it just can't be done...this was the reason I never picked up the reissue 1950's realart poster of "Bride of Frankenstein" for $30.00.  Oh how I miss my eyes going bleary reading all the fine print ads, trying not to miss a thing.  Oh how I miss my higher phone bills from actually calling and talking to real live fellow collectors.  Ah...those were the days my friends, those were the days... *************************************************************************** This electronic mail transmission contains confidential and/or privileged information intended only for the person(s) named.  Any use, distribution, copying or disclosure by another person is strictly prohibited. *************************************************************************** NOTE: Ce courriel est destine exclusivement au(x) destinataire(s) mentionne(s) ci-dessus et peut contenir de l'information privilegiee, confidentielle et/ou dispensee de divulgation aux termes des lois applicables.
