John is right.. He'll be able to find a Chinatown
poster in my next 1 sheet auction
which starts next week if anyone is interested

Zeev,
You're right, I'm not the collector I used to
be. I now spend 100 times what I did in the
past. And I have a lot more options as far as
where I can buy a Chinatown poster. I don't
have to buy that poster from a Cinevent dealer,
or go to any other show to find that poster for that matter.

John,
I read your post carefully, and I have a
question for you: Is it possible that you are
simply not the collector you used to be?
I mean, is it possible that in the past youâd
do everything to track that dealer down, buy
that Chinatown OS you really want, and go home a
happy man? Whereas today youâd just as soon
complain that things are too difficult?
Just a thought.

It seems like the show was lightly attended this
year by both buyers and sellers.
I was only at the show for a few hours because I
really didn't have much money to spend. Mainly
because I had put most of my funds towards a
poster that I wanted in the auction. I bought a
couple of items off the dealer floor, one of them from Rich.
I did see a Chinatown one sheet that was hanging
behind a dealer table that I wanted, but once
again it was another case of the seller's table
being covered up the three times I came by to try to buy the poster.
Bruce Hershenson stated in his weekly news
letter that the show needed an update. And I
agree with that. I have no interest in silent
movies, as far as watching them. There are a
ton of newer movies that it would be cool to see on the big screen.
Also, I know I'm not a big buyer or a well known
seller, but when I register for the show the
people that check my wife and I in act like they
could care less we're there. I don't expect a
20 gun salute, but a smile and thanks for attending or something would be nice.
I have to admit I'm getting to the point where I
hate to dig through stacks of posters and
LCS. When I was younger, I loved doing it. Now I find it boring.
More and more, even with the fact I live in
Columbus, I question whether it's worth my time
to go to the show each year. If it wasn't for
seeing some of the sellers I know, I think the answer would be no.

For me Columbus was a state of closure and the begining of a future.
I have made friends at Cinevent who have become
part of my family. I had Cancer and couldn't
attend Cinevent for the past two years. At one
point I thought I'd never see these guys again.
So for me Cinevent this year was something of an emotional time.
As for the report on the show, there were less
dealers (some having sadly passed away or some
who just couldn't attend), and I feel that the
choice of items has lessened since I was last
there. There is also a cahnge in the habits of
collectors and dealers. Many more stills were
being bought and sold rather than posters.
Cinevent for me was never about the collectors
it was always a traders show and there seemed to
be less trading going on this year, but it was
so good to be amongst friends that are treasured.

The last time I was at Cinevent was in maybe
2004, and I had a table upstairs. I was there
this year, the good part of Friday, and I have
to say that it seemed smaller and not as many
people attending. There seemed to be the same
amount of posters in the auction though.
I really enjoyed meeting Rich, Sean, Peter, Zeev
and spent some time with Jim Gresham. I saw
some old clients/friends, so it was great for me!

Thanks, Franc, it's nice to get a first-hand
report on an event that is often touted as THE movie poster event of the year.
How about the rest of you?
What, Franc was the only Mopoer in Columbus?
Rich? Sean? Nothing to report? Anyone attend the
auction? Any surprises? Fakes in the foyer?
Fistfights in the dealers' room? Strippers in
the penthouse? What? Hellooooo....

I went to Cinevent this year and as always it
was great seeing those dealers that I only get
to connect with once a year. I don't sell at
Cinevent. I only sell on-line but I was touched
to meet two wonderful women whom I have been
selling lobby cards to for years but have never
met who went out of there way to hunt me down on
the dealers' floor in order to introduce
themselves. I thought the selling mood among
dealers was much improved over last year. I also
think some dealers have hiked their prices up to
the point that it only makes sense for me to buy
from them if it is something I plan to keep in
my permanent collection and not resell. Most of
the dealers wer willing to negotiate as always
and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed myself
this year because I did not stay at that Ramada
Hotel, which I have already commented on in the
past. I had a terrific dinner at Mitchell's
Ocean Club in Eaton and visited the Columbus Zoo which is spectacular. FRANC

I'd like to hear how Cinevent went as well (I
wasn't there) but thought we should have a
thread devoted solely to that, if people don't
mind. Just so stuff doesn't get tacked onto another thread...
Thanks,
Dave
