We have a great selection of *285 **scripts, and assorted script-related items* ending * SUNDAY AFTERNOON* <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html> at * http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html>* beginning at 3 PM CST (*NOT* at 7 PM like our Tuesday and Thursday auctions). While this once-a-month "miscellaneous" Sunday set of auctions contains our usual selection of around 500 pressbooks (565 this time,; see far below), we also have *285 scripts and script-related items (treatments, manuscripts, handbooks, etc)*. These are the first 285 items in this set of auctions.
We rarely auction original vintage movie scripts (the last time we did was in July of last year, where we auctioned a really incredible collection of 234 original vintage scripts, which auctioned for $72,433), and we haven't auctioned any scripts since then, so this is a rare opportunity to get these! All the *scripts *we auction are originals that were printed for use by actors or crew when the movie first came out (or were printed to "pitch" the movie to studio executives). *EVERY* one of the *scripts* we auction are absolutely genuine and from the time the movie first came out (there are unscrupulous dealers on the Internet who take original scripts and copy them and then sell those copies as if they were originals). There *ARE* a very few scripts that are not from the time the movie came out, but those are very clearly noted. If you are new to collecting vintage scripts, here are some important things to know: *There are three basic kinds of scripts:* 1) *OUTLINES AND TREATMENTS.* These are preliminary story proposals which are later fleshed out into scripts. These scripts always are called either *OUTLINE* or *TREATMENT*. 2) *SCRIPTS/SCREENPLAYS *These are shooting scripts for movies. They are written before a film is made, and they are often revised during the shooting of a film. In some cases, you will find multiple *DIFFERENT* versions of a script for the same film. The script might say *FIRST DRAFT* or *REVISED FIRST DRAFT* or *SECOND DRAFT*, etc., and these are all different things. Some script collectors would only want one script for a film, whereas others could be quite interested to buy different drafts or versions for the same film. *NOTE: *Sometimes two scripts may initially look identical. They will have the same covers and both will say, for example, *THIRD DRAFT*. But, if the number of pages is different (and, typically, one version is all on white paper, and the other one has various pages of revisions, on various other colors of paper), then the two scripts are actually separate and different from each other. Most commonly, when a script was revised, the changed pages were printed in a new color, with the date of the revision at the top of each page, and then someone would collect all the scripts and manually take out the old pages and insert the new pages, and then pass the scripts back out! That way, everyone could quickly see the changed pages by looking for the pages of a new color. Often, the script would be revised a second time, and then yet a different color would be used for the second changes, and the same procedure would be followed. Sometimes there would be five or more revisions, and all of the scripts would end up looking like they were "rainbow colored", because of the many different color revision pages inserted inside. Sometimes, however, the revision pages would be printed in white, and sometimes they would not be inserted where they belonged, but would simply be added to the back of each script. 3) *POST-PRODUCTION SCRIPTS* These are summaries of what is on the screen, and they are made up by the studios after the film has been completed. They have different names, among them * CONTINUITY, DIALOGUE CUTTING SCRIPT, CUTTING SCRIPT, CENSORSHIP SCRIPT.* Please realize that the prices of scripts do *NOT* correlate to the prices of the corresponding posters from those movies! There are cases where the posters sell for little and the scripts are quite valuable, and vice versa. *KNOW THAT ORIGINAL VINTAGE SCRIPTS ARE FAR MORE RARE THAN POSTERS FROM THE CORRESPONDING TITLES!* An initial outline or treatment would have had a tiny number of them printed, perhaps 5 or 10. An early draft prior to a final shooting script of a movie might have had 10 or 20 copies produced. And even a final shooting script of a film might have had a couple of hundred copies printed. And, of course, very few of these scripts survive, because no one valued them at the time. This was true all the way into the 1990s (long after collectors began placing a premium value on vintage posters, very few collectors sought out original vintage scripts, which means there is an extreme rarity of even 1990s scripts, and very few authentic scripts of the last forty years are offered for sale or auction).

A pressbook was made for every movie, starting in the early 1910s through the 1970s (somewhere in the late 1960s, studios introduced "presskits", which included brochures and stills from the movie, but *NO* images of the posters, and for a few years, they made both, but then they stopped making pressbooks and only made presskits). Each pressbook is filled with lots of information about the movie that is contained no where else, including pictures of the posters and articles and ads as well, and the cover of the pressbook is often a color poster that could be framed, and on older pressbooks there is often a "sample" full-color herald attached to the pressbook, and yet, because many collectors don't know about pressbooks, the entire pressbook often sells for less than the price of a single lobby card from the same movie! Note that pressbooks of the 1920s and 1930s often have color covers and lots of elaborate artwork, whereas pressbooks of the 1950s and 1960s often have black & white covers and much less artwork. Also note that pressbooks often contain single sided pages. When we give a page count for a pressbook, it refers to the number of *SIDES* of pages that have printing. If a pressbook has 10 pages with printing on one side each, it would say 10 pages above; if it has 10 pages with printing on both sides each, it would say 20 pages. *CLICK HERE <http://www.emovieposter.com/pressbooks.htm> TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PRESSBOOKS!* You can view solely the *565 pressbooks* at this link: * http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/mode/0/search/pressbook/15.html <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/mode/0/search/pressbook/15.html>* The below are the current top pressbooks: 8k512 HALLOWEEN pressbook '78 John Carpenter classic, great Bob Gleason jack-o-lantern art! <http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3451077> 8k485 GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES pressbook '53 art of super Marilyn Monroe & Jane Russell! <http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3451023> 8k290 27th DAY pressbook '57 terror from space, five people given the power to destroy nations! <http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3450828> 8k322 BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK pressbook '55 Spencer Tracy tries to find out just what did happen! <http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3450860> 8k351 BLOW-UP pressbook '67 Michelangelo Antonioni, David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave <http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3450889> 8k436 DUTCHMAN pressbook '67 Anthony Harvey, Shirley Knight, she can love him...
