I want to tell you about our current * Sunday<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html> *, * Tuesday <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html>*, and *Thursday*<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/14.html>auction galleries, which include the first three parts of our * 14th Annual Halloween Auctions<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html> * (and while Part IV does not begin until after Part I closes, you can view a preview gallery of all the Part IV items here: *http://www.emovieposter.com/online/20131021previews/partiv/ *
Note that while the 1,579 items in the four parts combined do not represent the ultimate collection of horror/sci-fi posters and lobby cards (they include *LOTS* of inexpensive items), they *DO* contain a really remarkable selection of items from a high percentage of the horror/sci-fi movies made in the 1950s and 1960s! Most of these came from longtime collectors who purchased the items directly from movie theaters or movie poster exchanges, and (except for the linenbacked ones) a high percentage of them have never had any professional restoration! If you ever watch the TV show "American Pickers", you know how those guys talk about items being "barn fresh", meaning they were stored in a barn for decades and that they are just now being sold. Also, those guys don't mind that items show signs of being old, or of being used, because they feel that signs of age are part of what makes an old item desirable. In the same way, most of the posters we are auctioning are "theater fresh", meaning they were actually used in a movie theater, and have been stored ever since, but they have pinholes, tears, amateur tape repairs, and other defects typical of actually being used. Some collectors don't want posters like these, but many others are accepting of these defects, and if you are, then this set of auctions is surely the one for you, because you will find an amazing selection of 1950s horror/sci-fi posters and lobby cards. In a way, it is like entering a time machine back to the 1960s, when you could walk into a movie poster exchange (or write them through the mail), and give them a list of titles you wanted, and they would tell you everything they had available on each size, and more often than not, they would have at least one item from every title you wanted. Similarly, this auction contains items from a high percentage of the horror/sci-fi titles of the 1950s and 1960s! It has been many years since these titles were easily obtainable. In many cases, we last auctioned the same item five or more years ago, and not one example of that item has been consigned to us in the past five years! Part I of our 14th Annual Halloween Auction closes this Sunday, November 3rd, and it contains *ALL* of the one-sheets (linenbacked, rolled, and folded). Click on the below banner for Part I to go to those auctions: <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html> Part II closes Tuesday night (November 5th) and contains non-one-sheet linenbacked posters and "oversized" items. Click on the below banner for Part II to go to those auctions: <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html> Part III closes Thursday night (November 7th) and contains rolled posters (including inserts, half-sheets, and posters from 10 different countries). Click on the below banner for Part III to go to those auctions: <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/14.html> And Part IV contains 432 folded posters, lobby cards, stills, & pbs and will begin Sunday the 3rd around 5 PM CST *after the Part I items have ended *. You can view the *Part IV Preview<http://www.emovieposter.com/online/20131021previews/partiv/> * by clicking on the banner below: <http://www.emovieposter.com/online/20131021previews/partiv/> So you can view *EVERY* single one of the 1,579 items in all four parts before placing a bid on any of the items, which is certainly a great help in planning your bidding strategy. With this many items being sold at once, there are sure to be some good buys, and possible some outright "steals", but you can't get those great deals unless you are bidding. We know that many bidders will likely wait for the end to bid, so don't be fooled if you are the high bidder for 6 days and 23 hours. If you you really want to buy items, do your best to check back in the final hour (or better yet, in the final minutes). Remember that in *OUR* auctions, you can't have an item snatched away from you in the final seconds, because of our "time extended" feature, which means that 5 minutes must go by without a bid before an item closes. What distinguishes *OUR *Major Auctions from other major auctions? *Only the lack of any reserves or buyers premiums, honest condition grading, and unenhanced super-sized images!* You will find an amazing "supermarket" selection of great posters from decades of horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies! *A really wonderful bonus offer of $345 retail of movie poster books to the buyers of any 12 items from this special auction* If you are a member of our * weekly e-mail club<https://www.emovieposter.com/club/archive.php> *, we are offering *ONE* incredibly generous bonus offer (see below for exact details) to those who purchase just *TWELVE* items from any of the parts combined (you need just purchase a total of twelve items from any of the parts together, so if you get twelve from any one part, you get it, and if you get 6 each from two parts you get it, if you get 3 each from all four parts you get it, etc, as long as your total wins is twelve or more!). We also have an incredible "*GRAND PRIZE*" for the person who purchases the most items from all four parts combined. That person gets *ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS (at our current retail) of VINTAGE MOVIE POSTERS * (so if you are not already a member, and over *8,300* collectors already are, then why not join today by going to * https://www.emovieposter.com/club/settings.php*).
