I'll be happy to sell them through my site www.movieposterbid.com
or even better for both us maybe - buy them outright
I'm sure Bruce Hershenson will be happy to offer yu the same thing
concerning restoration of bad condition.. well
there's the rub on most - they might not be
worthwhile for a dealer/seller to restore 99.9%
of them and they should probably be sold "as-is"
keep in mind, if you have a poster that is $500
but needs restoration to get there and will cost
$200 to do, considering economic benefits of
investing money to make money it may very well be
a bad deal for you to get them restored whereas a
collector who is able to buy the poster for
$100-200 (or even less depending on how bad they
are) is the way to go. You don't incur extra
expenses, the fan gets a good deal and everyone can be happy
let me know if you think we can work together
best

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.
