Now we are getting somewhere... Now calmly tell me man.... Phil.. did
Stanley Kubrick use 3 or 4 pieces of cardboard for his priceless
stills..?? Its been 38 years Phil... I know its hard to remember what
you ate at breakfast and what day it is...
so go outside... eat a paple and then think man... carefully and with
deep concentration///
please you could cause the entire collector hobby to go mad... what if
he used 3 1/2 pieces or maybe even worse used a piece of gypsum board...
so sit back and think... the entire poster kindom is waiting with bated
breath for your memorey to kick into gear and produce a wise statement
I can see Satnley now gingerly wrapping his stills ever so carefully so
that Mr Phil could open that pacakge and let out a happy gleefull moan
of happiness...
also he probaby made some interesting face gestures as he put the
archival acid free stills into the 38 year Pre- archival days when
acid was rampantly abundant and creating havok on collections all over
the world..
Thanks Mr. Phil.... I hope you will not incite panic in posterdom like
Sue Heim has..:)

Use three pieces of cardboard (or 4) and make sure corrugations are
crossed to add immeasurably to strength. Cross tape the package
tightly so that the 3-4 pieces of cardboard basicaly become a block.
On the inside, bag the item/s, tape bag to board so they don't shift
around in transit, leaving a 1-1.5 inch gutter all round so the buyer
has some "opening space".
Around 38 years ago, I received a parcel from Stanley Kubrick's office
of some stills signed by the director, and they were packed just liked
this. I called up my contact at Hawk Films to pass on thanks Mr K.
and commented about the precise way the stills were packed. She told
me that Stanley packed all the parcels, including mine, as he didn't
trust anyone else to do it.
I've been packing flats the same way ever since.

Subject: [MOPO] OT: Cardboard advice from the pros here....
This inquiry goes out to any of the pros here who ship flat items
such as stills or lobby cards. I am wanting to keep the package
light but strong (and I should mention... as inexpensive as
possible). What strength cardboard are you using? I see sheets
of 200 pound strength cardboard available but is it strong
enough. The sheets I always see are corrugated but are sheets of
solid (similar to postal boxes) available and if so, do you know
where? Any advice posted publically or privately is greatly
appreciated.
