Hi Andy and gang -
I like to buy material from folks that have accumulated small
collections over the years. Once I met a man who was a
projectionist in 1939/1940 and he let me choose what stills I wanted
from two shopping bags full of stills stacked flat. Another time a
retired Episcopal Priest who had a thing for Ingrid Bergman sold me
his rather eccentric collection that included a pair of mint JOAN OF
ARC one sheets and a variety of Hitchcock lobbies. But one of my
favorite acquisitions was from the wife of an old roadshow magician
who sold me his pressbook and poster collection that went back to
House of Frankenstein. These are but a few - but it is the way I
like to acquire material - small, well-loved collections that I can
carry-on for the folks that sell them to me. As far as singles, the
last time I used to buy was back when the 1950's Belgian Sci-Fi
titles were $12 each at the old poster shows - bought those one at a
time until I think I got them all. I am thankful to the poster
spirits for they have always been kind to me.
