[MOPO] Thank you Walter

[Susan Heim]

I literally just got my catalog in the mail twenty minutes ago and noticed "other company" cards right off. Hadn't gotten through the whole catalog when Walter's email popped up. It's almost unbelievable. JR has a great point in his "business as usual" post. Maybe they don't think it's necessary to distinguish "other company" cards, but listing reissues as originals is too much. We're not talking about a less experienced collector selling a few things on ebay. This is a major auction house whose experts are suppose to be the most knowledgeable.  This is definitely one auction that I will preview in person before bidding on anything.        I remember the last one and can't believe Michael's "Stranger on a Train" is back up on the block without any amendments to it's condition. I am still feeling sorry for the poor person that bought the extremely faded Vertigo poster in the last auction, but as JR said, if you have no reference point to compare to, you might not notice the difference.   Thanks Walter for the "knowledgeable" information!!   Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: Walter Reuben To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 12:34 PM Subject: [MOPO] some mistakes in Bonhams 06 26 06 poster auction Lot #2042  these are "other company" cards. #2064  these are "other company" cards. #2073  These are 40's reissue cards. #2076  these are "other company" cards. #2111  these are "other company" cards. #2220-2222  Both are reissues, and I believe from the 1960's. #2294   This is a reissue of LES DIABOLIQUES.  The original has an actual wash of various colors, whereas the reissue is this much plainer version. #2376.  This is a German reissue from the 1990's (our German friends on Mopo can provide a more exact date). #2389 is supposed to be a three sheet and 2390 a one sheet, but the photos seem to be switched. As for 2464, has anyone ever seen these before?  Are they real movie posters or some kind of personality posters?     Walter Reuben Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
