Yeah 10 million for 60,000 pieces id an average of $166 a block. I don't think
thats remotely realistic. I don't think its worth more than $100,000still a
good deal for a $2000 buy in

Subject: [MOPO] Short film on Newspaper Movie Ads Has anyone heard about this?
In 1999, two friends went into a Nebraska antique shop and found a massive
collection of letterpress blocks and plates that were used to make
advertisements for movies in newspapers. They bought the whole shebang for
$2000 and have spent the last 17 years cataloging and cleaning the 60,000
plates & blocks. The collection, which spans nearly the entire history of the
film industry from the silent era to 1984, was recently appraised at ~$10
million and is available for acquisition.
