*People have been asking WHY eMoviePoster.com's July Major Auction has so MANY more items than usual (by contrast, our April Major Auction had 785 items). Here is why we have 4,085 items in all (at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html <https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html>)!*
When we originally planned this July Major Auction, we thought we would have around 500 to 800 items in all, so, because we now only have auctions every four weeks, we decided to make it a "one day" auction, and have the Tuesday and Thursday before it be our usual fine selection of flat and rolled items. But over the final three weeks of consigning, we were contacted by first one, then two, and then three VERY long time collectors who had decided the time had come to let go of major portions of their collections! We soon realized that these great last minute consignments would push our total from around 650 items to around 1,300 hundred, so we decided the best solution would be to divide the Major Auction over 3 days, just as we always used to have. But that created a different problem. If we "bumped" the regular flat and rolled items originally scheduled to start July 13th and 15th, that would have meant that those items would have had to wait four more weeks (unlike one or two weeks, as it used be in the past). And not only would that have been unfair to those consignors who we told would have their items start then, but also, since many of our buyers ONLY buy "regular" items, we did not want those buyers to have to wait that long. So we moved ALL the non-backed Major flat items that ship in standard boxes into the "regular" flat auction that started the 13th, and we moved ALL the non-backed (and paperbacked) Major flat items that ship in oversized boxes or tubes into the "regular" rolled auction that started the 15th! So this has created two "Super Regular Auctions" on Tuesday and Thursday, far and away the best "regular" auctions we have ever had, and we also have our "all-linen" Part III that just started, which is a better auction of linen posters than we have had in many years! *And one really great "silver lining" to having so MANY auctions closing in such a short time is that there is a much greater chance to get great deals (and maybe some absolute "steals"). But YOU can't get those if you are not bidding, so please start looking now! * Remember that from now until Tuesday August 3rd at around 7 PM CST (when the Part I items begin to end, you can view ALL 4,085 of the items in all three parts in a single gallery at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html! Why is this so valuable? Because when you are looking at all the items in one gallery, you can search ALL 4,085 items at once (and our Search Filters work on all the items at once), which is a giant time saver if you solely want to look for single stars, or single movies, or single genres, or whatever! Best of luck to everyone who bids in the three parts of eMoviePoster.com's July Major Auction, closing August 3rd, 5th and 8th. It truly contains something for EVERY collector (any type of movie paper, and lots of non-movie posters too!).
