Most of the posters we are selling were actually used in a theater, and they have defects typical with those acquired by a poster that has been attached to a wall and then taken down again. Some of the posters were used in theaters in other parts of the world, and some of those have "censor stamps" on them (but, unlike one-sheets with censor stamps, most three-sheets and six-sheets with censor stamps are stamped in unobtrusive places, often in the blank background areas; in addition, sometimes the censor stamps are relatively very small on these larger posters and are much less noticeable than they would be on one-sheets). *MOST COLLECTORS OF THREE-SHEETS AND SIX-SHEETS ARE ACCEPTING OF THE DEFECTS THAT THEATER-USED LARGER POSTERS ACQUIRE, BUT IF YOU ARE NOT, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BID ON THESE POSTERS.* Most collectors of three-sheets and six-sheets have them linenbacked and restored prior to displaying them, and they know that most of the defects theater-used posters acquire can be fairly easily restored during the linenbacking process. If you are like most collectors, and can accept the defects that most of these posters have (which *WERE *acquired during actual theater use!) then we think you will be very happy to have this rare opportunity to select from such a huge number of rarely seen larger U.S. posters! *A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT POSTERS PRINTED IN MORE THAN ONE PIECE, AND LARGER POSTERS THAT ARE PRINTED IN A SINGLE PIECE:* Some of the posters we are offering this week are printed in 2 or more pieces (almost all of the three-sheets and six-sheets, which were made before printers had the ability to print such large posters in one piece, so they were normally printed in two or four pieces). To give you the best possible idea of what the poster will look like when the pieces are combined, as intended, we photograph each piece separately and then digitally "join" the images to show you what the entire poster looks like (when there are multiple pieces, they are printed with extra blank borders designed to overlap, so that the pieces can be combined to have a perfect "fit"). *BUT THE DOWNSIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHING THE INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS BY THEMSELVES IS THAT THE LIGHTING IS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME WHEN WE PHOTOGRAPH EACH PIECE SEPARATELY.* Often this leads to one part of the poster appearing darker (or lighter) than the rest of the poster. *THIS IS DUE SOLELY TO THE LIGHTING AND DOES NOT MEAN ONE PIECE IS "DARKER" THAN ANOTHER!* If one of our posters *ACTUALLY* has significantly different coloring from one piece to another, we *SURELY* note that in words. This same "lighter" and "darker" issue can occur in single piece posters, if they are very large (like three-sheets that are printed in a single piece), because the poster is so large that the lighting may vary from one area of the poster to another. But know that any color difference from one section of a poster to another, or from one portion of the poster to another, is purely due to photography and is *NOT* on the actual poster, and when you see the poster in person, you will see that this is correct! *On November 1st, we added 8,333 stills in 599 lots in GREAT condition including many top titles and they close on Thursday, November 8th!* Read more about these below, or go see them right now (with large thumbnails and links to these on eBay for easy bidding) in our *Thursday Auction Gallery*<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php> !* **What are some of the best items in this current Thursday auction (we list the title of the movie, followed by how many stills that lot contains, and some have up to a hundred stills in a single lot of a single movie!)? Wizard of Oz (great R74 lot of 86), Gone With the Wind (R71 lot of 90), Godfather (complete set of 12 color AND 43 B&W stills), Silk Stockings (10 color), Daisy Kenyon (12 color), One Upon a Time in the West (complete set of 12 color), True Grit (lot of 161!!), The Cowboys (lot of 114!), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Saturday Night Fever (set of 8 mini LCs), American Graffiti (lot of 12), Ten Commandments (complete set of 12 color), Ben-Hur (lot of 93 R69 w/ great scenes!), Performance (lot of 26), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (lot of 84), Taxi Driver (lot of 48), Mean Streets (lot of 23), Rocky (lot of 21), *and much, *MUCH* more! Note that this is almost certainly one of the most amazing still offerings ever! It contains just about every better movie from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, plus a lot of earlier and later titles, and just about every still is in incredible condition. *PROBABLY THE LAST TIME THAT YOU COULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS MANY STILLS IN THIS WONDERFUL CONDITION WOULD HAVE BEEN 30 OR MORE YEARS AGO, AND YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE THEM DIRECT FROM A POSTER EXCHANGE (see below for where they came from)!* *Note that these stills come to us from three amazing sources:* *One is from the collection of a New York City publicist *who worked in the movie business in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was sent large numbers of mostly black-and-white stills from movies being released at that time, including all of the very best titles. The studios sent these stills directly to him, to aid him in publicizing the movies (often they would also include a sheet or several sheets with captions for the stills, or with information about the movie). Unlike the vast majority of publicists, who would discard the stills or give them away, this particular publicist carefully stored all of the stills he was sent and is only now first offering them for sale! Not only has this collection not been "picked over", but the stills are also in remarkable condition (most look as though they were just printed, but we assure you they were not!). *The second collection of stills come to us from a theater owner, *and cover much of the same time period as the above collection, but this collection mostly contains color stills and mini lobby cards. Most of these are in complete sets of 8 or 12, and again, many of these are in remarkable condition, for they were never used, and carefully stored. * The third collection comes to us from a different theater owner *and covers a wider range of years than the above two collections, but it includes both complete and incomplete sets, and they are slightly in lesser condition than the above two collections (but they are still overall in really excellent condition). * *Putting the three collections together in one offering makes one of the most amazing collection of stills ever offered at one time, on eBay or anywhere else! This is like entering a time machine and going back 30 or more years, and entering a poster exchange, and giving them a list of titles, and having them say, "oh yes, we have all of those"! Best of all, all of the stills are being sold with no reserve in an opening bid of just 99 cents (per lot, *NOT* per still!). This means you could theoretically purchase a lot of 100 stills for just a penny apiece (and while we do not think that could happen, you may well see some of these lots selling for just pennies per still, and probably a fair number of them will sell for under one dollar per still, even though they are in pristine condition!). *SUPER IMPORTANT! MANY OF THESE LOTS CONTAIN FIVE OR MORE STILLS, BUT ONLY FOUR (or eight) OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED! THE HIGH BIDDER ON EACH LOT WILL RECEIVE THE NUMBER OF STILLS LISTED ON THE AUCTION,* and *NOT* just the four (or eight) pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made no effort to find the best four stills in the lot, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do *NOT* bid on these lots which don't picture all of the stills unless you can accept that you are only seeing four (or eight) of the stills. Note that many of these lots contain large numbers of stills, and, in a very few cases, there may be more than one example of the same still in a single lot (in other words, it may be a set of say 12 stills, with 4 pictured, and 1 or more of the 8 not pictured *MIGHT* be a duplicate to one of the pictured 4). We know it is true of only a very small number of the lots, but we want to alert you to that possibility. Finally, we know that you would likely hope that we could make an exception "just for you" and find a specific lot and photographs or describe the stills currently not pictured, *BUT WE CANNOT DO THAT FOR ANYONE*! All of the stills are sealed and ready for mailing. We could never sell 8000 stills in a single day without doing it the way we are doing, and we ask you to either be understanding of that, or to not bid on the stills. *THIS REALLY IS A REALLY WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF STILLS AND UNBELIEVABLY GOOD CONDITION, AND I WOULD THINK THAT STILL COLLECTORS (and dealers) WILL BE THINKING ABOUT THIS AUCTION FOR SOMETIME TO COME (and kicking themselves over some of the lots that they missed out on!).* * WE GUARANTEE THAT EVERY STILL IN THIS AUCTION IS ORIGINAL (just like the ones we have auctioned in the past, but these are all the better because they come directly to us from the source!). *Why? Because these stills are from three remarkable collections (as described above),* AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT*! We know you will 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 still and mini lobby card sets! I could easily go on listing dozens more titles from either auction, but you really need to check these out for yourself! There really are *LOTS* of great lobby cards in both of these auctions, and it is fun to look at them all over, even if you are only "window shopping"! *REMEMBER THAT, IN BOTH OF OUR WEEKLY AUCTIONS (unlike some other sellers of vintage movie paper), EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR ITEMS TRULY START AT 99 CENTS WITH NO RESERVE ON ANY ITEM! AND WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT 99 CENTS, PLUS $9 BUYERS PREMIUM, PLUS AN OFTEN "MIS-CALCULATED" SHIPPING!* In *OUR*auctions, you can purchase up to *FIFTEEN* 99 cent items and your total cost is $14.85, plus a very reasonable $7 U.S. shipping charge *for a total U.S. cost for those 15 items of just under $22 for ALL fifteen items (if you solely buy stills, then we just charge a flat $5 U.S. shipping, which means you pay under $20 for the 15 still lots, which COULD contain up to 1,000 stills in all!).* Remember that *YOU* can't get the great deals that happen week after week in our auctions 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 *Tuesday Auction Gallery<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>( http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php) *and our* Thursday Auction Gallery <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php> ( http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php)*. 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 *Tuesday Auction Gallery <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php> *and our* Thursday Auction Gallery <http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php>*, 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 *Tuesday Auction Gallery*<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php>. *SO WE HAVE ALSO CREATED BACKUP "MIRROR" VERSIONS<http://www.emovieposter.info/>OF OUR CURRENT AUCTION IMAGE GALLERIES. * They are located at *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 *Tuesday Auction Gallery<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php> *and our* Thursday Auction Gallery<http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php> *, *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 TO YOUR FAVORITES/BOOKMARKS.* *We have lots of great auctions coming up!* On *Tuesday November 6th *we will add hundreds of unfolded (or folded then stored rolled) non-U.S. posters, from countries such as Poland, Germany, Sweden, France, and much more!* * On *Thursday November 8th*, we will add hundreds of unfolded (or folded then stored rolled) Japanese posters and Italian locandinas! Good luck on whatever you may bid on in either of our sets of current auctions ending on *November 6th or November 8th*! *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 1,900 members!). *This club will keep you informed about everything we are selling through just *ONE *e-mail a week, and many weeks we make great bonus offers to club members who buy multiple items from us on eBay!
