WE ARE SENDING THIS E-MAIL TO MOPO BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO GREAT AUCTIONS (one of 663 rolled non-U.S. posters, and the other of 100 GREAT vintage candid 8" x 10" stills) CLOSING ON JUNE 19TH AND 21ST!
What is in our Tuesday night auctions that close TUESDAY, June 19th on eBay? 663 rolled non-U.S. posters (including Japanese, Polish, and many more!), all currently on eBay ending Tuesday, June 19th beginning around 7 PM CST! Read more about these great items below, or go see them right now (with large thumbnails and links to these great auctions on eBay for easy bidding) in our <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction Gallery! What are some of the best items in this current Tuesday auction? The auction begins with Italian photobustas and locandinas, and follows with small and medium French posters, Mexican, Danish, Czech, Belgian, Yugoslav, and German posters! At the end of the auction are 130 Polish posters (many with sensational graphics), 31 assorted Japanese posters of many different sizes, and finally 164 Japanese posters that measure 20" x 28". Some of the best of the Polish posters are: West Side Story, Graduate, Klute, Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Nashville, Five Easy Pieces, El Dorado (with GREAT Jerzy Flisak art!), and many, MANY more! Some of the best of the Japanese posters are: Throne of Blood (FIRST release!), 400 Blows R80s, Bad Sleep Well 2panel, Godzilla vs the Sea Monster 2panel, Godzilla vs Megalon (as well as SEVERAL other great original Godzilla posters!), Birds (pictures Alfred Hitchcock!), Valley of the Dolls, Italian Job, Champion 2panel, and many, MANY more! Some of the best of the other non-U.S. posters are: Cool Hand Luke (10 different Italian photobustas in 8 separate auctions!), The Bicycle Thief (two of the best Italian photobustas in two separate auctions!), Jamaica Inn Mexican, Terminator Czech, Unknown Men of San Marino Mexican, Erotic Nights of the Living Dead Italian loc, Pulp Fiction German, and many, MANY more! With so many excellent non-U.S. posters, there is every likelihood that some or many will go for bargain prices! You might not see this many quality Polish, Japanese, and other non-U.S. posters in any one "major" auction (and then of course, you will be faced with sky-high reserve prices, and those maddening "buyer premiums"!). A SPECIAL NOTICE ABOUT THE COLLECTION OF 195 JAPANESE POSTERS AND 130 POLISH POSTERS WE ARE SELLING THIS WEEK: We have been consigned a really excellent collection of 195 Japanese posters, and separately, an excellent collection of 130 Polish posters! Are you one of the few collectors who have not yet discovered the wonderful movie posters from these two countries? If so, we urge you to carefully look at both of these great collections, and consider adding at least one of each to your collection. Most Japanese and Polish posters have completely different images from those printed in the U.S., and they are often superior to the corresponding U.S. poster. It is interesting to note that Polish posters are often very surreal, and sometimes have next-to-no connection to the movie they are advertising (in some cases, it seems that the poster artist was told the NAME of the movie, but nothing else about the movie, and they created whatever image that title suggested to them, an! d many Polish posters have really striking, and often dark images that can be displayed and enjoyed, even if you are not at all a fan of the movie they advertise). WARNING! Once you buy a few of these, you are in danger of becoming "hooked", and you may find you need to keep purchasing them on a regular basis. If this happens to you, don't say we didn't warn you! What is in our Thursday night auctions that close THURSDAY June 21st on eBay? 100 GREAT vintage candid 8" x 10" stills (ALL great behind-the-scenes images)! What are some of the best stills in this current Thursday auction? The auction solely contains stills that show candid "behind-the-scenes" images from movies (sometimes the stars are on the set of the movie, and sometimes they are in publicity shots), and many of these images can't be found anywhere else! Note that, having sold a HUGE number of vintage stills, I KNOW for certain that candid stills are FAR more rare than stills with scenes from the movies! Plus, candid stills often reveal information about the stars (or relaxed or unflattering images of them) that is practically lost to history, for I know of nowhere that these images can be found OTHER than through actually purchasing the vintage candid stills themselves! Some of the best titles include Metropolis (a great image of 2,000 extras who had their head shaved!), Wedding March (Erich von Stroheim editing the movie!), The Mummy (Karloff being wrapped in 250 yards of bandages!), King Kong (three very different candid images!), Seven Year Itch (Tom Ewell trying to make time with Marilyn Monroe between scenes), Lawrence of Arabia (director David Lean and producer Sam Spiegel on the set!), How the West Was Won (a scene that shows the cameras and the sets!), sexy half-naked showgirls from Whoopee, Gold Diggers of 1933, and other classic pre-code musicals, and many, MANY more! I could go on listing dozens more titles, but you really need to check these out for yourself! Be sure to look at these 100 GREAT vintage candid 8" x 10" stills ending THURSDAY June 21st beginning around 7 PM CST in our <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>Thursday Auction Image Gallery)! A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THE 100 VINTAGE "CANDID" STILLS WE ARE CURRENTLY AUCTIONING: Note that these stills come to us from a very longtime collector! He purchased them from poster exchanges and from collectible stores many years ago, and he was the sort of person who sifted through hundreds of vintage stills to find "the right one", which explains why this collection contains so many wonderful vintage stills, and why so many of them are in really nice condition (don't be fooled by our ultra-harsh grading as most of these stills are in quite nice condition, especially given their age). We have enough stills for several of these auctions, and we chose to start the first auction solely with stills that had snipes and/or stamps on the back, and we pictured both the front and back of each still. This third auction solely has candid stills, WHICH ARE STILLS THAT DEPICT IMAGES THAT NOT FROM THE MOVIE, but rather "behind-the-scenes" images taken by studio photographers, which are images that often can't be found anywhere else (except some dealers sell reproductions of some of these images, sometimes knowingly or unknowingly selling them as vintage originals). BUT WE GUARANTEE THAT EVERY STILL IN THIS AUCTION IS ORIGINAL (just like the ones we sold in the last two weeks' auctions)! Why? Because these stills from this remarkable collection, which were purchased by a VERY knowledgeable collector, who could tell original stills from repros, reissues, or restrikes and it only contains original stills, and YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT! We know you wil! l agree these are surely original stills, but if you have the slightest doubt, you can return ANY still within one week for a no questions asked refund! I have sold many tens of thousands of stills, and I KNOW these to be genuine, and I also know this to be a remarkable collection of hand-picked stills! MANY EBAY SELLERS ASK $5 OR MORE EACH FOR REPRODUCTIONS OF STILLS THE SAME OR SIMILAR TO THESE, AND MOST EBAY SELLERS START SIMILAR ORIGINAL VINTAGE STILLS AT $9.99 EACH but you can buy a lot of stills from us this week for as low as 99 cents PER LOT (which means you could pay pennies per still, if you are the only bidder on that lot, but of course, there may well be other bidders; BUT IN OUR AUCTIONS, THE FINAL PRICES ARE SET BY TWO REAL BIDDERS, NOT BY YOU BIDDING AGAINST AN ARTIFICIAL RESERVE OR "STARTING PRICE", which may well be "too high"). And these are vintage stills, which have collectible value, as opposed to reproduction stills, which have NO collectible value. But realize that these are actual vintage stills used in theaters (or intended for theaters, but not used) and therefore many have defects caused by use and we could have missed some. If you are very condition conscious (or would be bothered by an item having an undescribed minor defect), then you probably ! shouldn't bid on the stills we are selling this week which are not in at least "very good" condition. NOTE THAT WE GRADED THESE STILLS EXTREMELY HARSHLY, downgrading them to a lesser condition for slight defects, so that every purchaser should be happy when they open their package! See our condition grading chart below for further information. REMEMBER THAT (unlike some other sellers of movie posters) WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT 99 CENTS, PLUS $9 BUYERS PREMIUM, PLUS AN OFTEN "MIS-CALCULATED" SHIPPING THAT MEANS THOSE "99 CENT ITEMS" MAY END UP COSTING YOU $17 EACH! In OUR auctions, you can purchase up to FIFTEEN 99 cent stills and your total cost is $14.85, plus a very reasonable $5 U.S. shipping charge for a total U.S. cost for those 15 items of just over $20 for ALL fifteen stills (for the rolled non-U.S. posters, we charge a variable $7 to $10 U.S. shipping, depending on the cost of your order, because those need to go in our custom-made super-strong tubes). Remember that YOU can't get those great deals if you aren't bidding! AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE! If you place a bunch of fairly low bids but only get one or two items, then you are sure to be happy, for you will have gotten some really good deals. Even if you place a bunch of bids and get nothing at all, you will only be out a little of your time, and no more. Do you know about our Tuesday and Thursday Auction Galleries? One of the worst kept "secrets" in the movie poster hobby is that it is FAR easier to look at our items through our <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction Gallery and our <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>Thursday Auction Gallery. When you look at our items on eBay, you do not see an image of the item until you open the auction, which is very time consuming (we don't use their "gallery" image, both because it is absurdly overpriced and because the gallery image is too tiny to see any details). So instead, we have our own <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction Gallery and our <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>Thursday Auction Gallery, both of which have much larger images of each item, so that you can determine if an item interests you BEFORE you click on it, thus making your surfing time far more ! productive. PLUS these galleries are searchable by star, director, genre, year, or anything you want to search for! Once you discover our galleries we would be amazed if you go back to looking at our items directly on eBay. The prices in our galleries update every 5 minutes, so the price under each item can only be up to 5 minutes old. Generally, this is no big deal, EXCEPT if you are looking at items as they are closing, then we recommend you bid on the actual eBay page (which is easily accessed from our gallery pages). But because so many of our bidders now use our gallery, on rare occasions it has overwhelmed our server, and some of our bidders have not been able to access it, especially right when the auctions are closing. Worse yet, an outage in our server means that you can't see the images on our eBay auctions, because our large and super-sized images are housed on the same server as our <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction Gallery. SO WE HAVE ALSO CREATED <http://www.emovieposter.info>BACKUP "MIRROR" VERSIONS OF OUR CURRENT AUCTION IMAGE GALLERIES. They are located at <http://www.emovieposter.info>http://www.emovieposter.info and are available if our main gallery is down, so the only time you want to use it is whenever you CAN'T access our regular <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>Tuesday Auction Gallery and our <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>Thursday Auction Gallery, OR when you can't view ! some or all of the images on our auctions (even if you can't see them on eBay, you will be able to see them in our backup galleries). You will likely either never need it, or only use it once, but if you are a regular bidder in our auctions, it will be invaluable to you the day you DO need it, for you will be able to see all of our large images, and use this "mirror" version of our Current Auction Image Gallery, even though the main version is unavailable. PLEASE ADD <http://www.emovieposter.info>http://www.emovieposter.info TO YOUR FAVORITES/BOOKMARKS. We have lots of great auctions coming up! On Tuesday June 19th, we will add 700+ folded one-sheets, including a lot of titles we have either never sold, or have not sold in a while! If you have the slightest interest in folded one-sheets, you won't want to miss this one! On Thursday June 21st, we will offer a great group of LOTS of vintage color 8" x 10" stills or mini lobby cards (each lot contains two or more stills or mini lobby cards)! If you like color stills or mini lobby cards, YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THESE! Good luck on whatever you may bid on! Note that this is an e-mail being sent to those of our past buyers who have purchased items similar to what we are currently selling (the ones who want to receive e-mails from us). If you want to be sure to keep up with everything we are currently auctioning, you should consider joining our great weekly e-mail club (over 1,800 members!).
