Dave,
You couldn't have picked a better icon than Bogey. I adore him and your website.
Congratulations,
Toochis

Hello Phil & Mila,Many thanks for your well-wishes. As a bit of an explanation of the Bogart rant on the home page (for those who might be interested), it is actually all of his spoken lines as Duke Mantee in The Petrified Forest, strung together as a continuous dialog. If I have a dozen favorite Bogart lines, at least half of them are here. Perhaps my #1 favorite: "I spent most of my time since I grew up in jail -- it looks like I'll spend the rest of my life dead". Classic stuff. Bogart had his lines honed from doing the play on Broadway, and just listening to Bogart's delivery is enough to understand why Leslie Howard refused to make the film without him. And of course this was the role that put Bogie over the top and made him a star.The image on the home page is NOT from The Petrified Forest, but from King Of The Underworld instead. However, it is my favorite Bogart image of all time, and the embodiment of "cool". I couldn't resist using it.Dave

Website: www.cinemarts.com----- Original Message -----From: Dave ResslerSent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 7:22 PMSubject: [MOPO] FS: Announcing a new vintage poster website, and my first Mo-Po postHello All,A late night note from the east coast, but I wanted to get this out before hitting the sack. At the recommendation of a friend and Mo-Po subscriber, as well as gracious Mo-Po emcee Scott Burns, I wanted to introduce my new website to all Mo-Po members. This is also my first Mo-Po post, so I thought a brief introduction would be in order.My name is Dave Ressler, and I'm located in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. I have collected all manner of things, a disease of sorts I suppose, ever since I was a kid growing up in Pennsylvania. I moved to Ohio in 1986 and began working at Procter and Gamble shortly thereafter in research and development. I'll be married for 20 years this coming August, and have a 15 year-old daughter. About a year after I moved here I somehow stumbled across an issue of Movie Collector's World, which introduced me to what I consider to be the ultimate collectible in vintage film posters and lobby cards. I've dealt with many dealers and collectors over the years, and remember making my first purchases from guys like Todd Feiertag and Bill Luton (at a time when they still sent out catalogs). Scanning over the Mo-Po archives, I notice posts from many that I have known from the past, or have dealt with in recent years on eBay.I have sold a fair number of items on eBay over the past 6 years, but not a great deal. Although it certainly has its merits, I have always found eBay to be a bit impersonal, and had often thought about doing my own website as a better _expression_ of myself. However, getting from the concept to the finish line was no simple task, and took longer than I had hoped. But I'm finally "on the air".For those who might consider purchasing from me, I guarantee a pleasant experience. I will never be the biggest dealer (and I'm certainly awed by some sites out there which offer thousands of items), but I do promise excellent service and products. I'll provide accurate descriptions and images (and if there is more that you'd like to know about an item, please ask). I guarantee all items to be exactly as described, or will fully refund your money, no questions asked. I ship promptly and package items extremely well, and can honestly say that - to my knowledge - I have never had an unsatisfied customer in this or any other hobby. I'll be more than happy to supply references to anyone in doubt. But as I interpret my being a member of Mo-Po, I'm opening myself up to a world of hurt if I do you wrong!Ordering and contact information can be found on the site. Email contact is the easiest (and cheapest) way to reserve items, but you can also phone me or fax your request. Other collectibles are featured on the site, but the majority of the material will be vintage film posters from the 1920's on up. I just updated the site tonight, so as I send this out all of the items are currently available. I will mark the home page with a new date every time I update the site, so you may want to mark it as a favorite and check it out every now and then -- if the date at the top has changed, new items will have been added.That's about it for the sales pitch. I won't bend everyone's ear to this extent again, although I will probably post short messages when I update the site. Thanks to all for listening!
