Very nice to read something so genuine, kind and positive. Yes, it is indeed RARE to read something so heartfelt. We need more posts like this!!!! --Tom Pennock In a message dated 10/3/2009 1:39:44 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I’m not starting this message with “Hi Diane” as we normally begin emails, but, if I may, I would like to start with: Dear Diane, I am a relative newbie to our hobby….I do not sell movie posters or lobby cards but try to limit my collecting to western posters and title lobbies. I started with posters from the 30’s of my heroes….Buck Jones (Ivory Handled Gun), Tim McCoy (Outlaw’s Paradise) and Ken Maynard (The Unknown Cavalier insert from the 20’s) but found myself with a lack of wall space and my wife did not initially appreciate the art they represent. OK so I had to turn to lobbies and had to curtail my purchases to title cards because there are so many….I converted my basement into the “Ranch” and surround myself with my heroes and also got Tom Mix, Rex Bell, Bob Custer, Bob Steele, Hoot Gibson...In other words I really opened my walls to all my favorite cowboys. I really never bought any Horror posters or lobby cards. OK, that’s me….but Diane (Studio C) THANK YOU so much for your efforts and information. You have done the hobby an extremely big service. Without your and the other people’s efforts we (the collectors) would not have any inkling as to the goings on behind the scenes. You deserve to be given the highest accolades and please, please do not pay any attention to members like buymovieposters.com who do not appreciate the service you have done. I for one have the utmost respect and admiration for you and Studio C. PS FYI, I bought the Buck Jones ‘Ivory Handled Gun’ poster several years ago from Bruce when he was on eBay. I paid almost $1,600 for it. It was linen backed and looks superb. In Bruce’s description he noted that the linen backing was done “almost surely Igor Edelman”. I was concerned about its authenticity and wrote to Bruce who assured me that it was an original. Again, Diane, thank you so much for all your efforts and please ignore anyone who criticizes you. I shake my head with disgust that they can even do so.
