Bruce,
I believe it was in your weekly email that you offered the printers Star
Wars 1shs.on 9/11/01. I remember that I hesitated for about an hour after
the email, because we all thought the world was coming to an end...luckily
it wasn't and I was glad I picked up the A & C 1shs.
Dave also had a US Star Wars C printers 1sh on his web site stating he
believe it was the only one to exist...(Dave, where were you in 2001, these
at the time were well known). According to the site it sold for around
$3995.00. He now has one for $3495.00. This may be great for us that bought
them originally, but deceiving to those who are buying them now!

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.
Bruce
