Part II of eMoviePoster.com's incredible March Major Auction ends in hours (starting at 7 PM CST) at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/13.html and this part of the auction is a "major auction" all by itself!
How so? It contains 315 larger linenbacked & unbacked posters, plus half-sheets, serial pressbooks, and much more, and there are some groups of items deserving of specific mention. What are some of these? 1) This Part II contains an amazing collection of 143 "oversized" linenbacked posters (at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/tag/extra%253Alinen/13.html)! "Oversized" means they ship in tubes over 32" wide (all linens that ship in tubes 32" or smaller were in Part I). These oversized linens are of all types and genres (including 8 three-sheets and 4 six-sheets, 31 French one-panels, 35 Italian one-panels and 10 two-panels, and many others, including an incredible 1929 Austrian poster from their premiere of The Jazz Singer), and the only thing they all have in common is that they are all rare and desirable! Many of these are ones we have never offered before. But as of right now, a LOT of these are WAY under the cost of linenbacking alone! Since these large posters often cost $200 to $300 each to linenback (or more), the lowest priced of these represent insanely great bargains (look for yourself and when you see 31 of then under $25 each, you KNOW I am not exaggerating!). 2) This Part II also contains 71 of the most rare pressbooks known to exist (at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/tag/xtype%253Apressbook/13.html), including a remarkable collection of pressbooks based on comic book and comic strip characters! These were created by studios and were SOLELY sent to theater owners to try to get them to book upcoming serials, but how many theaters cared about ordering posters for serials, where they only showed a chapter at a time? That might account for why these are SO incredibly rare! Many of these 71 pressbooks are the only one I have EVER seen. You likely know that that there are now MILLION dollar comic books, and in almost every case, there are dozens (or hundreds) of each of those million dollar comics known to exist. Yet these pressbooks, which came out near the same time as those million dollar comics are mostly either the only example known, or likely one of a tiny number known, at the very most. Yet they will likely sell for a tiny fraction of what those million dollar comics sell for, and that does not make any sense at all to me. So unless there is a lot more bidding in the final hours on these pressbooks, then sensational deals will be made on these items that are among the rarest of all movie paper collectibles! 3) This Part II also contains five 24-sheets (at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/tag/xtype%253Atwenty-four%2520sheet/13.html) and one Italian billboard poster (from Last Year at Marienbad, at http://auctions.emovieposter.com/bidding.taf?_function=detail&auction_uid1=5358901). These are actual unused billboard sized movie posters from the 1960s and 1970s, including two with Saul Bass art (from Exodus and Advise and Consent), with great graphics. We have seen websites advertising billboard posters like these for hundreds or thousands of dollars each, and yet, with hours to go, the prices range from $43 to $112, with one at $262! 4) This Part II also contains six ultra-rare Jumbo Window Cards (at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/tag/xtype%253Ajumbo%2520window%2520card/13.html). In the 1930s, studios made these 22" x 28" sized window cards, which were like regular 14" x 22" window cards, but much larger, and they are MANY times more rare! Five of the six offered here are from the 1930s and have wonderful graphics, and the sixth is from Ray Harryhausen's first movie, Mighty Joe Young!. 5) This Part II also contains 28 great 22" x 28" half-sheets (at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/tag/xtype%253Ahalf-sheet/13.html)! These range from the 1910s to the 1970s, with most from the 1930s to the 1950s. What they all have in common is that they are either from great movies or have great graphics (or BOTH!), and yet many of them are currently FAR below where the same or similar posters have sold for in the past (and many of these we have either never previously auctioned, or only auctioned one or two times)! 6) I really need to mention that this Part II also contains a remarkable 1915 Italian 78" x 109" poster from "Filibus" (at http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=5358996). This was made over one hundred years ago, and to say that screenwriter Giovanni Bertinetti was "ahead of his time" is a massive understatement! He believed in women's equality and gender fluidity long before it began to enter the mainstream, and he wrote those themes into this super early sci-fi movie, which is about a mysterious female sky pirate who makes daring heists using her airship. The lead character performs amazing crimes that involved James Bond-like gadgets (including miniaturized cameras), but perhaps most interesting of all, the female criminal was a master of disguise who impersonated men as well as women, and there are scenes of the criminal seducing women while in disguise as a man, thus adding a lesbian/bi-sexual component to the movie! The poster we are offering has an incredible image of a flying airship lowering the female sky pirate to the ground in a bucket that is suspended from the airship. What is fascinating about this poster is that the airship appears to be made entirely of metal, whereas planes of this time were made entirely of wood, because aviation at that point had no ability to make a metal plane fly, due to its great weight. Yet somehow, the author of the movie and the source story was able to predict the future and see a time when flying metal planes would have solved the difficulty of making super heavy metal aircraft fly! We previously auctioned a different example of this "Filibus" poster, and it sold for $5,800. Now we have been consigned a second example of this poster, which is the second poster of any kind from this movie we have ever auctioned (and this example is in better condition than the one we auctioned in 2017). People use the term "museum quality" lightly, but this poster absolutely deserves that title! I could go on and on about what else this amazing set of auctions contain, but I would much rather you see them for yourselves at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/13.html! Often in these last day promos, I talk about how many items are still at very low prices with hours left until they start to close (and there ARE 79 items currently at just $33 or under) but what is really worth pointing out is that, at the current bid prices, it is likely that a lot of these items (at all price levels) will sell to dealers, who will then re-offer them for two, three or many times what they paid. Remember that if YOU are such a reseller, we make it super-easy for you to do so, since we will supply the buyers with unwatermarked images of all they buy (on request) and they can even "borrow" our movie and condition descriptions, so they can have their purchases re-listed to their websites (or eBay) just as soon as they receive them! Remember also that we have NO reserves or buyers premiums (so EVERY item will really have a new owner when each auction ends, at exactly the final bid price, plus the actual cost of shipping), and we also have honest condition grading, and unenhanced super-sized images of every item (especially important when you are buying items that have been restored, and must trust the honesty of the auction house). That is why it is SO important that not only DON'T we have "Buyer Beware" (which every other auction house falls back on, which means YOU are stuck when THEY make a mistake, intentional or accidentally), but what we DO have is that we stand behind everything we auction, with a lifetime guarantee on all we auction (something NO other auction offers), so you can bid and buy with confidence. All of our 47,715+ past buyers from our 1,554,000+ completed auctions over the past 29 years (and over 87 million dollars in sales) KNOW that we always do exactly what we say we will, whether you spend five dollars or five thousand dollars! Please go to the above links right away and I think you will find the current bid prices on these great (and rare) items of every kind irresistible. There are almost surely going to be great buys made, but YOU can't get them if you aren't bidding! <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> 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.
