If anyone would like to see them i will be happy to send a jpeg. They are a fabulous conversation piece prior to entering into lease negotiations. 5 are Chan posters and the other 2 are Laurel and Hardy and the Marx bros.

BUT IMAGE WALKING INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE AND SEEING A FRAMED 6 SHEET OR EVEN BIGGER??? yikes!!!! how do people frame those? i know some people hang three sheets without frame, but the black border adds to much prominence to the poster. when i first starting collecting, i would buy a one sheet, hate it until it was ramed. just a simple frame. but it adds so much. mbb -----Original Message----- From: Susan Heim <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, Dec 3, 2009 2:15 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] THREE SHEETS #yiv96901501 #AOLMsgPart_2_cc19da69-e5b1-4562-a28c-ad0a58dbb5c1 td{color:black;}#yiv96901501 #AOLMsgPart_2_cc19da69-e5b1-4562-a28c-ad0a58dbb5c1 .hmmessage P{margin:0px;padding:0px;}#yiv96901501 #AOLMsgPart_2_cc19da69-e5b1-4562-a28c-ad0a58dbb5c1 body.hmmessage{font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;} Thank you Toochis. Yes, I do frame 3 sheets for wholesale cost to other collectors. A full archival museum frame for a 3 sheet is $299 at my shop. We do about 3-5 of them a week. As a movie poster collector myself, it is always fun to see what other's collect and boy do they look great when they are ready to hang on the wall. Any southern California customers can contact me directly. I have customers who come from Arizona, Nevada, and northern California to pick up their frames. I even had one customer who drove out from Florida for vacation and took home all his frames for 40x60's and 41x81's. I appreciate the confidence. The problem is the frame is too large to ship assembled, so what I do now is send the customer the custom cut frame and assembly hardware. Then they call me and I help them locate the UV filtered plexiglass and acid free Artcare backing, in their own hometown. to complete the frame. You can save hundred's of dollars doing it yourself and it is really very easy to assemble. So, feel free to call me with any questions. I am actually shipping out two oversize frames today. Thanks.

I have also had some great linenbacking from Sylvia and Susan Olson. I'm thrilled I can now find deals on 3-sheets. However, I've not found bargains on the ones I want.

The vast majority are unbacked. Meaning if they are going to be displayed they must be backed, restoration or not. That adds to their ultimate cost. Second, they're very expensive to frame. Third, you need a lot of wallspace to display them, specifically high ceilings. Thus, unless they're rare and/or for very highly sought-after titles, they're not as desirable as smaller formats, especially 1-sheets. And with things being financially tighter for most collectors right now, I think they'd rather hold out for the 1-sheet than purchase a 3-sheet they might not even be able to enjoy. Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael B To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 11:15 AM Subject: [MOPO] THREE SHEETS it seems to me that three sheets are getting less interest and not increasing in value at the same speed as one sheets, inserts or half sheets. sometimes, they are decreasing in value based upon the price searches of Heritage and Emovieposter. agree? could it be due to the fact that most three sheets are on linen and collectors are shying away from restoration? could it be that approx. 9 inserts can be displayed on the same wall space? in fact, it seems that the most three sheets being sold are at the Heritage Signature Auctions........but often selling at less than the same title one sheet (and even selling less than the same three sheet 5 years ago). michael Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
