This was in with the U.S. Style A & Style C printer proofs I sold 6 or 7 years
ago. In the find were 18 style A's, 33 Style C's, and around 10 or 15 of these
Spanish Style C's. I sold them at that time for (as I remember) $150 each (I
think the U.S. Style A's were $700 each, the Style C's were $500 each, or
$1,000 for both). I sold them all at that time. If I get time, I will try to
look it up, or maybe a MoPo member will remember it (or have saved it).
You say that "ACCORDING TO STARWARSMOVIEPOSTER.COM, THERE WERE ONLY 200 (YES,
200!) OF THESE PRINTED". But where do THEY get their info? There is an
incredible amount of "mis-information" being passed around this hobby!
I have a question for you, and since you seem to subscribe to the "any
publicity is good publicity" point of view, I will ask you publicly. Here is
the question:
Some people in the hobby have been openly critical of some of your selling
techniques, and the one most mentioned is the "years can go by without one of
these coming up for sale". I personally completely agree that this is "crossing
the line" of going from "clever salesmanship" to "outright deception", and very
much wish you would drop it from all your auctions EXCEPT for the ones where it
is true, of course.
Is it OK with you if I make the subject of my next club poll whether or not
club members think this is just clever salesmanship or outright deception? I
don't believe I have ever mentioned your business by name before in my club,
and this would put it in front of 1,800 poster collectors. But I don't want to
do this unless I have your OK.
Personally, I think it would HELP your business to drop this, and I would love
to know what everyone else thinks. I look forward to your reply, either
publicly or privately.
