This is really depressing.
Anybody who bought posters of movies he liked, in the past 30 years
or so, can look at the current auction from Bruce and realize that
most of them are worthless or close to it, and most likely will
remain so. Collectors who have no “inside connections” have, most
likely, paid much more for those posters than they sell for today.
I would like to see others comment.

hours, an unbelievable 563 that are still $5 each or under!
Thursday night's 834 rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets (our largest
selection ever!), closing tonight, on the 11th of March, starting
in just 13 hours, represent REALLYincredible values, and that
includes a lot of cool posters, and yet many of these are currently
languishing at low, low, prices!
With just 13 hours to go, the 834 rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets
include an astounding 270 that are still at $1 each or under (that
is cheaper than wrapping paper, and you could buy these and have
the most interestingly wrapped Xmas presents this year!), an even
more amazing 456 that are still $3 each or under, and an
unbelievable 563 that are still $5 each or under!
HELLO! This is 2010, and I doubt you could have purchased any of
these 563 posters for UNDER $6 when these movies first came out, or
any time since! Remember that those "other" auctions have a
MASSIVE $14 buyers premium they tack on to EVERY purchase! And
remember that in OUR auctions all you have to pay is $10 U.S.
shipping, no matter how many of these posters you buy (not the
nosebleed shipping some auctions charge)! And if you are in our e-
mail club (over 6,000 members), you get great ADDED bonuses if you
purchase 10 or 15 items in all!
Of course, once you get OVER just $5, you start hitting lots and
lots of "better" titles, but an awful lot of those are currently at
VERY reasonable prices, including:

P.S. About the Originality of Rolled One-Sheets
Many collectors would like to add posters from their favorite
movies of the 1980s onward to their collection, but they rightfully
are afraid they will be sold commercial posters (or reproductions
or bootlegs), rather than actual posters either used in theaters or
intended for theater use. WHEN YOU BUY FROM US THIS WEEK, YOU HAVE
A GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE BUYING A GENUINE ORIGINAL MOVIE
POSTERS! This is because all of these posters come to us either
from theater owners, or from advanced collectors (often ones who
purchased the posters right when the movies first came out), people
who know how to distinguish an original poster, and also, we here
at eMoviePoster very carefully scrutinize every poster to make 100%
certain it is genuine! But you don't have to take our word for
it! If you purchase any poster this Thursday, and you have the
slightest doubts about its originality after you receive it, it is
fine for you to return it for a full refund within 7 days of
receipt (but we virtually never get a single poster returned,
because we reject any poster that is consigned to us if we have the
slightest doubts about it!).
About the Condition
Normally when we sell movie paper, we grade the posters on a
scale that allows for some defects typical of 30 to 75-year-old
movie posters that were actually used in theaters. Such posters
often have some minor wear at the very least, and it is next to
impossible to find posters that have no wear at all, and it would
be silly to have a grading scale where no posters would qualify for
"very good to fine" (or better grades), so we use a more "relaxed"
scale that allows for very minor defects in our "very good to fine"
grade.
But in this auction, we are selling a fair number of posters
from the past 20 years, and those posters can more often be found
in excellent condition, because there were dealers and collectors
who purchased these posters unused, and kept them in wonderful
condition.
So for THIS auction, we grade on a MUCH stricter scale than we
do for our folded one-sheet auctions! We downgrade posters to "very
good to fine" for very minor defects (things like a single tiny
tear in the border, or faint creases in the edges). We further
downgrade to "very good" posters that have several of these types
of defects, even though the poster would probably qualify as
"fine", if it was from the 1940s!
We use this "sliding scale" grading because it allows us to
better convey the poster's true condition to our buyers. If we used
the exact same scale for all posters, then most 1920s posters would
be graded as "fair" or "poor", and most 1980s or 1990s posters
would be graded as "fine", and we realize that that benefits nobody!
In this auction, we have given a more detailed overall
condition grade ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to
very good", "good", and "fair", with only a few "poor") for each
poster. We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to
bid on more easily. Of course, we still strongly recommend that you
look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects.
Know that we generally grade FAR more harshly than any other
dealer we know! A 1990s poster that we grade as "good" or "good to
very good" may well be one that many collectors could display on
their wall just as it is, and may well be one that many other
dealers would grade as "very good". So please don't reject a poster
because it has a grade of "good" or "good to very good". Please
study our supersized image and see if the defects are the sort that
you can accept.
