*Part III of eMoviePoster.com's special December Major Auction, which closes Sunday at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html> contains 483 posters, lobby cards, campaign books and much more and it has a REALLY wide assortment of very different types of items. *One quick look will tell you that we "saved many of the best for last" and in addition, we have some truly amazing memorabilia items we don't usually auction, including museum quality props, original comic art, beyond rare rock 'n' roll concert posters and more!
I could go on and on about what is in it, but I would MUCH rather you go to the above link and see them for yourself, because I feel certain there is something for EVERY collector! And with "only" 483 items, there is no reason for you not to go through every single one (and they are lots of fun to look at, even if you are only "window shopping")! *But for those who gots to know what is in this auction, here are some of the many highlights, including three AMAZING props:* 1) The actual 1954 Oscar statuette movie prop used (and held!) by Judy Garland in the classic movie, A Star is Born! Miss Garland did not win an Oscar for this movie (her loss to Grace Kelly was famously quipped by Groucho Marx as "the biggest robbery since Brink's")! So this prop "Oscar" she was given in the movie is the closest thing to her having been honored by the Academy, and besides, had she won an Oscar, it could not be legally sold, for the Motion Picture Academy does not allow that for post-1950 Oscars. 2) An actual pair of Ferragamo pumps worn by Marilyn Monroe in Let's Make Love (which were originally consigned by her stunt double on the movie, Evelyn Moriarty! 3) The actual makeup stand used on set by legendary actress Bette Davis from approximately the late 1930s through the late 1970s, including during the filming of Now Voyager, The Little Foxes, All About Eve, and more! 4) An incredible collection of SIXTEEN mostly beyond rare posters mostly from the original Star Wars trilogy at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/special:Star%20Wars/15.html, including a 24-sheet, 6-sheet, 3-sheet, silk banner, standee, and much more! If you like to own posters from modern classics (like Star Wars!) that just about NO ONE in the world owns, THESE is for you! 5) FIFTEEN wonderful music and rock 'n' roll concert posters at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype:music%20poster/15.html, including two of the very best ones there are! First is the EXPERIENCE/JOHN MAYALL/ALBERT KING Bill Graham concert poster (with incredible Rick Griffin art)! The second is the equally wonderful 1967 GRATEFUL DEAD AOR-2.190,(with incredible Robert Fried art of a skeleton on stilts) which was not for a specific concert, but it was designed to be given to head shops to be placed in their windows. Because of a design flaw, almost none of these survive without much restoration, but the one offered is in nice unrestored condition! Either of these posters will surely be the cornerstone of the new owner's collection! 6) One-of-a-kind original art, including the Jack Rickard MAD MAGAZINE cover art of Alfred E. Neuman & John Travolta from #201, 19" x 26" cartoon art by Bill "Torchy" Ward, 1962 Virgil Finlay art used on the back cover of Amazing Stories, and more great originals at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/search/original%20art/15.html, all one-of-a-kind! 7) SEVENTY FOUR wonderful (and super scarce) lobby cards at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype:lobby%20card/15.html, evenly spread from the 1920s to the 1950s (many are the best of the best, from titles you hardly ever see ANYTHING from!) 8) FORTY TWO great folded one-sheets from the 1920s to the 1960s (the only common denominator is that they are all scarce and desirable) at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype:one-sheet/tag/extra:ff/15.html 9) FORTY FOUR half-sheets at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype:half-sheet/15.html and FORTY TWO inserts at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype:insert/15.html! Like the folded one-sheets, the only common denominator is that they are all scarce and desirable, and pretty evenly spread between the 1920s and 1950s 10) TWENTY EIGHT window cards at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype:window%20card/15.html, including many great rarities mostly from the 1920s and 1930s! 11) THIRTY ONE ultra-rare campaign books at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype:campaign%20book/15.html (also known as studio yearbooks). Most of these are BEYOND rare! 12) There are smaller quantities (but no less rare and desirable!) of NINETEEN super scarce 8" x 10" stills, ELEVEN British Quads, ELEVEN Mexican posters, SEVEN mini-window cards, SEVEN English six-sheets (including a 1940 BLACK FRIDAY, with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi!) and FIVE English three-sheets (these English posters are from during World War II, among the most scarce movie posters there are!) And on and on and on and on! Even with pointing out 12 different types of items closing Sunday, I have not covered nearly all of the great rarities being offered, which is why it is all the more important that you look over EVERY single item one by one! Remember 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! And we have TRUE "customer service", something of a lost art among all big businesses these days! All of our past buyers over the past 31 years (and over 98 million dollars in sales) KNOW that we always do exactly what we say we will, whether you spend five dollars or five thousand dollars! *Want to give (or receive) a unique holiday present? If you have not yet registered, go to https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Registration.taf <https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Registration.taf> to sign up (we qualify our bidders, something few auctions do, which means you will always be bidding against real bidders who honor their bids). And if YOU are not interested in these, but have friends who would be (because they collect items like these or would find just one of interest) then do us (and them!) a favor by helping spread the word to them before these close, because a LOT of these items won't be seen at auction again for many years!* 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.
