Is it because everyone was off work yesterday? Is it because of the recent weakness in the stock market?
I don't have a clue, but I DO know that there are LOTS of really cool lobby cards ending today that are selling for just a buck or two each, and there are lots of excellent ones (ones I would expect to see on a dealer's website for $50, $100 or more) for just $10 or $20 each! Remember that these cards will really all have new homes come later tonight (no games where the consignors buy back their own items or worse yet, the auction house buys back their own consignments)! LAST WEEK, WE SOLD AN EXCELLENT COLLECTION OF 800 SINGLE LOBBY CARDS, AND THERE WERE MANY BARGAINS, EVEN ON SOME GREAT CARDS! Fully 10% of the cards sold for under $5 each (and these were not "lesser" cards, but included a lot of solid titles that would sell for $20 or $40 from almost any dealer!). Not only that, but 178 cards sold for under $10 each, and 381 cards in total sold for under $20 each, and they really did sell (as we said above, there are other auctions that PRETEND to sell like we do, but the low-priced items are actually often "bought back" by the consignors or the auction themselves). Many of you receiving this e-mail likely were the buyers of some of these great bargains (either this time or in our previous lobby card auctions). Even though this current auction contains tons of great cards, it is likely that there will once again be lots of great buys, but you can't get those buys if you don't bid! WE CURRENTLY HAVE 927 REALLY SENSATIONAL AUCTIONS (including an incredible collection of W.C. Fields and Laurel & Hardy cards and 151 title lobby cards!) CLOSING TODAY, January 22nd!

Included among these cards are many extremely rare titles, such as They Met in Argentina, Immortal Sergeant, and others, plus some of her very most popular titles, including The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Quiet Man, and Dance Girl Dance! We really could go on listing 100 or more additional GREAT titles, but we would assume that you want to see the images! But know that this is a really remarkable collection of lobby cards! LAST WEEK, WE SOLD AN EXCELLENT COLLECTION OF 800 SINGLE LOBBY CARDS, AND THERE WERE MANY BARGAINS, EVEN ON SOME GREAT CARDS! Fully 10% of the cards sold for under $5 each (and these were not "lesser" cards, but included a lot of solid titles that would sell for $20 or $40 from almost any dealer!). Not only that, but 178 cards sold for under $10 each, and 381 cards in total sold for under $20 each, and they really did sell (there are other auctions that PRETEND to sell like we do, but the low-priced items are actually often "bought back" by the consignors or the auction themselves). Many of you receiving this e-mail likely were the buyers of some of these great bargains (either this time or in our previous lobby card auctions). Even though this current auction contains tons of great cards, it is likely that there will once again be lots of great buys, but you can't get those buys if you don't bid! 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 THE SUPER-INFLATED SHIPPING AND CRAZY "BUYERS PREMIUMS" YOU SEE IN OTHER MAJOR AUCTIONS! In OUR auctions, you can purchase up to FIFTEEN 99 cent items and your total cost is $14.85, plus a very reasonable $9 U.S. shipping charge (we only charge a flat five dollar U.S. shipping on all of the stills, no matter how many you get!). AND WE WILL LET YOU COMBINE PURCHASES FROM BOTH TUESDAY AND THURSDAY INTO A SINGLE PACKAGE (whenever possible), THUS SAVING YOU EVEN MORE! 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) and our Thursday Auction Gallery (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 and our 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. Good luck on whatever you may bid on in our current auctions ending TODAY January 22nd! Be sure to check out our 927 TUESDAY ITEMS on eBay (on our " emovieposter.com" account) sometime BEFORE they end Tuesday, January 22nd, beginning around 7 PM CST and also be sure to check out our 451 THURSDAY items on eBay (on our "movieposter" account) sometime BEFORE they end Thursday January 24th, beginning around 7 PM CST (either by going to http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php for our Tuesday items or by going to http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php for our Thursday items, or by using the link from our HOME page, http://www.emovieposter.comor by finding us by our eBay user ID, emovieposter.com). We feel certain that if you purchase even one of them and then once you see how honestly we describe them and how we charge only the actual shipping cost and how we send them right out promptly and well-packed, that you will declare your independence from those auction houses with the outrageous buyers premiums, the over-graded items, the misleading images that obscure defects, and the outrageous shipping! Good luck on whatever you may bid on. Bruce Hershenson eMoviePoster.com P.O.
