Tom, I was the other person she contacted for the story. She only had 500 words available and she felt the metropolis had already been done(and when she did mention it, she got it wrong). I asked her what she wanted the thrust of the article to be and I think she just needed to get something out before the AA. As you say it was not particularly accurate. I explained in great detail how the hobby was unique in that the material was never sold to the public, the ways material did flow into collector's hands, how poster exchanges worked, etc. I mentioned off-handedly how some people actually used posters for home insulation years ago(this morphed into "huge caches" of material that can be found in home walls!). It was a hastily done throw-away article. Check the box and move onto the next thing.

U see soem old quotes on earlier prices.. also she nowhere discusses the fact of Ralph Deluca being a super collector.... Also The Grey Smith Part was Ok,, but she didnt do her homework this woman >From Wall street...she could have given a broader viewpoint and offered some places postes where being collected like Museumsna collections.. and also people like Learn about Postres, and the Poster dealers Like the shops in NYC, andLa, London,,, and auction people like RICH and Bruce... They should have had You David write the story... perhaps you could submit a story and give it more Gusto.. and more details.. It was nice that Wall street attempted a story but it was disappointing in not very accurate.. Steven Sansweet who worked at Lucasfilm as a fand club and PR person was a former writer for Wall street and could also have done a good job on a article.. this one was disappointing.. what does everyone else think???? best, Tom > > >---- Original Message ---- >From: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [MOPO] DeLuca, Heritage, featured in tomorrow's WSJ >Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:05:36 -0800 > >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >>Timed with its weekend pre-Oscar coverage, tomorrow's WSJ has a >short article about movie posters with quotes from Ralph DeLuca and >Grey Smith. -d. >> >> >> >> >> >> >http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732450320457831654070491 >3854.html >> >> >> >> Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com >> >___________________________________________________________________ >> How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List >> >> Send a message addressed to: [email protected] >> In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L >> >> The author of this message is solely responsible for its content >. >> >> Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
