What "turkey" scheduled eMoviePoster.com's auctions of 999 complete and
incomplete lobby card sets (5,425 cards in all), which close in HOURS at
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/14.html, to end on Thanksgiving
Day? We are not sure, but this may cause lots of bidders to have one more
reason to "give thanks" this Thanksgiving, because many of the current bid
prices are remarkably low!
Think I am exaggerating about how low the prices are? Think again, because
as of this writing, with just hours to go, there are 107 of these sets at
$1 and 378 at just $1 to $5 per SET, not per CARD! Since just under 400 of
these are complete sets of 8 or more, this means a large number are well
under just a DOLLAR per card (and on the lowest priced ones, pennies per
card!). And on all the sets (not just the lowest priced ones, but all of
them, even the highest priced ones), almost ALL of them are FAR under where
the same or similar sets have sold for in the past (and in some cases, you
will likely be able to buy a complete or incomplete set for little more
than what most dealers would charge for the title card or one of the better
scenes)!
And with these low, low prices you MIGHT think these are mostly obscure
titles with little desirability. But that is not in the slightest true!
Look at the above link, and you will see lots and lots of VERY desirable
titles, most currently FAR under where they have sold for in the past!
Remember that on OUR auctions there are NO buyers premiums, so $1 is REALLY
$1, and NOT "$1, plus $19 buyers premium", and you pay just $12 U.S.
shipping no matter how many of these you get, even if you get 100 sets! If
you focus on the least expensive cards, you may be able to buy a giant box
of many hundreds of cards, and have it cost just $100 or so, INCLUDING U.S.
shipping!
If you are a fan of older lobby cards, know that 554 of these sets are from
the 1950s and earlier (including 327 from the 1940s and earlier), and many
of these older cards offer the absolute best values, even though many of
these titles are extremely rare! Are you only interested (or mostly
interested) in a specific genre, star, studio, or decade? Don't forget to
use our "Search Filters" which are located to the left of our auction
galleries. For example, in the case of these lobby card auctions, they
include 42 lobby card sets from John Wayne movies.
You can see just those by clicking on the Search Filter that says "John
Wayne", and the same is true for all the other filters, like
"horror/sci-fi", "Lana Turner","crime", "Walt Disney" "film noir", "James
Stewart", "James Bond 007" or for the 86 lobby card sets that are solely
from the 1930s, and on and on! Using these Search Filters well makes your
time spent in our galleries FAR more productive, and once you get used to
them, you won't know how you ever lived without them (and there is no other
auction site that has similar Search Filters that work like ours do!).
But there is no way you can look through 999 lobby card sets in just a
short while, so please don't wait until right before they close and instead
start looking these over soon (and looking at these is great fun to do
while waiting for a big Thanksgiving meal!) to give yourself plenty of time
to place your bids, so YOU can be getting some the great deals that surely
will be made when these close in a few hours!
