Bruce thats funny stuff,,, as Imagine me in last 10 years waiting for best time to sell off the Magazines

I have had in storage waiting for the perfect tme to sell... I think ok... then something happens like a sunami

earthquake or whatever....... My ex-wife did the lists and catalog and I must say she was GOOD..... she would

go page by page sighting every deatail.. what stories where on who, if a Micro piece of paper was missing...

and she enjoyed reading them so she enjoyed making the list.... Me on other hand, have the patience of

a wild squirrel on a pot of caffiene .. so To actually decribe these things kills me... So I say here it is

Movie magazine - Looks good to me...:) I would consign these to someone But I also like the idea I have some nice pieces as I do enjoy mamorabilia believe it or not..

So when I see good pieces its like going to a concert or seeing a exhibit.. half the fun is just experiancing

the moment and the art..... The artists and craftsman in Holywood during teens - 40s just amaze me..

The movie making equipment and exhibition gear, the ads, the costumes and props, the actors, the business

dealmakers and promotion department, the sound people , the screenwriters.... The press....

If you think of the MGM and Paramount and warner Bos studios .. They were amazeing places..

Just to sit on a set like a Busby berkley or to see when they shot many of the epics would have been a treat.

I think Walt Disneys firts gig was making Glass slides in Kansas city...... Imagine that...

As for the Marty Davis adn Norm Lazarson, they have a great knowledge of whats hard to find and what are benchmark pieces I bet...

And as I looked at the list.. I remeber we would buy a Lot of magazines and pay like 5.00 a piece accross the board and maybe spend 2-3 K and then we would need to list to get the big bux and at time 40-75 in 80s\\
was good money...
Your prices seem fair and on the German stuff they could surprise at last minute as they dont surface often.

Heres my rare find of the week.. I was at a Goodwill store and found some old typewritter ribbons..... however when I looked somone had placed them in a Plastic bag...... It was a 1950s HOWDY doody - grapfruit bag from Clevelend OHIO,,,, so I thought do I go ask can I buy the bag?? Or just buy it all and get the bag.. I needed smith corona ribbon like a hole in the head.., BUt I thought maybe i can use to make robot parts..

so went up up and bought it all 1.00 I have a 1948 teelvison radio mag azine with Howdy Doody and buffalo Bob on Cover and thought this will make a great companion piece...

Its Howdy Doody time ! :)
Happy valentines day Folks

Tom

Thanks Tom. I agree with all you say. What is cool is that some weeks you see some magazines or slides going for HUGE money (relatively speaking, since $100 is like Mount Everest for these two sizes), and some weeks you see similar quality ones going for peanuts (and sometimes this even occurs within a single week).

I can't explain it, but it sure does explain why savvy dealers like Marty Davis and Norm Lazarson are all over these like a cheap suit. They know they can pick up the ones that "slip between the cracks" and put them on eBay and double or triple their money.

And get a load of those German programs this week! After weeks watching most of them sell for $1 or $2 or $3, suddenly there are some bidders fighting it out over them for much higher prices!

    Bruce- adn Mopo  - check out his stuff its wonderful.

    The movie magazines are some great titles.. They bring back so
    many memories to me as I started in

    Movie memorabilia in 1977 selling... vintage movie magazines Like
    Photoplay and Screenland Motion picture , etc...

    You  Bruce , Grey at Heritage and Rich at Movie poster bid are
    doing a great job with the layout and images of the items - Good job.


    The artwork and photography and  seeing illistrators like Christy
    and others  made each magazine a treasure trove of Images......New
    Movie that was a great magazine and also Motion picture..... all
had great covers
    Very good layout and images on your auction site.. You, Rich at
     Moie poester bid and Grey a at Heritage ll do a great job at
    displaying these items.

    Hureell Told me they used his photos as the models for many of the
    covers as they also used other photographers worl also.. Plus then
    inside we would see sepias and full page portraits by people like
    Hurrell
    that how I discovered his work was by Movie magazines...  They
    shot with 8 x10 View cameras one shot at a Time using 2000 watt
Mole richarson lights that could melt paint of a chair..:) Just all amazing Movie magic... and very cool.

    The glass slides are beautiful...and all your stuff seems to be
    getting decent bids.. especially the Marilyn Monroe
    covers

    You also have some great lot offerings of posters..

    This seems like a good auction for Mopo folks

    Best , Tom

    Week in and week out we auction hundreds of items that sell for
    low, low prices. Our current Sunday items (231 glass slides,
    magazines, presskits, German programs, and bulk lots) comprise
    one of our better Sunday auction to date, and yet there are lots
    of excellent items still at low, low prices!

    If YOU have never discovered the great values offered by these
    uncommon movie collectibles, it is not too late to start! Many of
    them sell for FAR less than posters or lobby cards from the same
    titles, and some of them are from titles you virtually NEVER see
    at all! In particular, this week we also have a group of great
    1950s movie mags with MARILYN MONROE covers!

    If you have the slightest interest in these sizes, I STRONGLY
    urge you to check out the Sunday items closing in just 8 hours,
    even if just to "window shop", because they include LOTS of great
    titles, ones you have surely never seen before!

    How great are the current values? Well, these are ending in just
    8 hours, and they include 50 that are still at $1 each (including
    a LOT OF 49 MONTHLY FILM BULLETIN MAGAZINES, WHICH IS STILL $1
    FOR ALL 49 MAGS!), 83 at $3 each or under, and 115 at $5 each or
    under! And there are lots of great items in these "bottom 115" items!

    Of course, once you get OVER just $5 (and remember that you can
    never ever get an item for less than $15 from our competitors
    with their INSANE $14 buyers premiums!), you start hitting lots
    and lots of "better" titles, but an awful lot of those are
    currently at VERY reasonable prices, far under what some of them
    have sold for in the past, including:

        Note that some auction houses treat their buyers as if it is
    Halloween all year long, except they play many "tricks" on them,
    and give them very few "treats"!  They SAY their auctions are "$1
    no reserve", but actually they are "$15 no reserve" when take
    into account their minimum $14 buyers premium.  They SAY many of
    their items are in excellent condition, but all too often the
    buyer receives an item that is in far lesser condition than they
    said, and they even trick you with the images, using "stock
    images" or "enhanced images".  Worst of all, some use "house
    bidders" who seem to have a spooky ability to bid just under the
    amount the real bidders were bidding!
        But in eMoviePoster.com auctions, "$1 no reserve" means just
    that, and every week we sell lots and lots of items for just $1,
    $2, or $3!  And every item is honestly described, with a
    super-sized unenhanced image of every item.  And every item is
    truly sold, and to the highest bid placed by real bidders!

        This week, we are auctioning over 1,600 lots in our Tuesday,
    Thursday, and Sunday auctions, and it is virtually a certainty
    that some percentage of them will sell for "bargain" prices, and
    there may be some absolute "steals", and because we have such a
    HUGE selection, you can easily find extra items to add to your
    order and not pay any extra U.S. shipping, and that can be a huge
    savings! Remember that, unlike the majority of "hobbies", where
    the money you spend on your hobby is gone forever, the money you
    spend buying movie paper will almost certainly be recovered the
    day you ever sell your collection (and many, many collectors have
    made lots of money on their collection over time, because unlike
    stocks, vintage movie paper continually rises over time!).

         And if you are one of the 6,000+ in our e-mail club, you get
    our 9 Vintage Hollywood Posters books with the purchase of any
    ten items from any of our three sets of auctions, and you get all
    of our 17 in print books with the purchase of any fifteen items
    from any of our three sets of auctions. YOU CAN PURCHASE OUR 10
    (or 15) LEAST EXPENSIVE ITEMS AND THEN SELL THE BOOKS ON EBAY FOR
    WAY MORE THAN YOU PAID FOR EVERYTHING (as many dealers have
    proven over and over)!

    Got to http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html to view them,
    but you only have 8 hours left to do so, because they start
    ending at 3 PM CST THIS AFTERNOON (NOT this evening!)!
