Dear Sirs
I consider myself a new mopo seller since I havent done it in a long time (At least ten years!). I live in Nicaragua and used to collect, buy and sell movie posters. I started selling through my friend Mahyab Moayeri and found, here in Nicaragua, a poor, old guy, almost blind, who used to be a projectionist since the 50s, who sold me his poster collection. He had, at a wooden shack that he considered his home, a treasure trove of movie posters. Perhaps more than five hundred classics including Breakfast at Tiffanys, Psycho, and many many others. I sold the crème of the crop trough Mahtab a few years back, but there were so many that I never got a chance to see them all. I just KNOW that I still have quite a few good ones. They are still in storage. At least I know that most are from the 50s and 60s. The problem is that MOST of the very valuable ones are in very bad condition, mostly separated at the seams and panels and ragged at the edges because they were stored at a wooden storage place with dirt floor. Also, he wrote in the back of a lot os his posters of his. Of course, I also have other posters which I got from the distributors warehouses as well, but no real vintage classics there. I want to find somebody interested in helping me sell these posters and perhaps restore some of them (Or at least ONLY linenback them so they dont deteriorate further). One of these days I decided to take some time and start sorting out the good titles. I posted some in the email below to mopo that you might have seen. Please, please help me appraise the real valuable pieces among these and if anybody wants to be my partner, maybe we could get some cash out of my collection. I also have lots of Mexican lobby cards and posters, Italian, Chinese kung fu movies (In Chinese), and even some plastic posters from the 60s and 70s Also a few presskits. Let me know if anyone is interested or willing to help. I will keep posting my pieces little by little, unless someone has a website where I could list them. Respectfully Carlos M.
