Bruce,
Aha!!! So you're the culprit! You're one of the guys who first created
those damn EC reprints and cut the resale value of my complete run of
original EC sci-fi and horror titles in half!

I bought my first lobby cards in 1969 from a Texas dealer named Tannar
Miles. I was making my living selling comic books, but I never re-sold
a single poster or lobby card. In 1976 I quit comics 100% and I sold
all my comics, but kept my movie paper collection (mostly lobby
cards). In 1984 I "re-discovered" the hobby, and became partners
selling movie paper with my old friend Ron Barlow, with whom I had
done the very first EC comic book reprints (long before Russ Cochran).
In 1989, I "retired" and *INTENDED *to buy and sell movie posters as a
part-time hobby (to pass time in my retirement) but that quickly got
off track, and the next year I organized the first all-movie poster
auction by a major auction house, and in the years since then I have
auctioned quite a few more posters. It is interesting that when I
started full time in 1990, almost all of the leading dealers at that
time predicted I would "hit and run" (leaving the hobby in a couple of
years), but with a very few exceptions I have far outlasted my critics.
