That's very true David There is a lot of information about movie posters out there and it certainly can't be taken for granted that it will just stay there forever. Forums and websites can cost a lot to keep them functioning and it is inevitable that some close down from time to time. I can think of a couple of Forums that are long gone and all of the Information that was published is pretty much lost forever. That is also happening as we all get older. Many older collectors and dealers have a massive amount of knowledge and historical information that not documented and is lost forever when they pass away.

Yes, the things we take for granted until they're gone, sometimes without notice, whether it's Bruce's image archives or even MoPo itself - and my mind wonders again what it would be like if they disappeared, e.g., like this link to a poster authentication site which used to host a ton of images of genuine vs. counterfeit posters, including minty whites and double-sided repros. I miss sites like this and in hindsight, I should have thanked the host of this site openly when I had the chance. It was obviously a labor of love, a public service with nothing offered for sale - a thankless job for whoever put it together when it was up - a great guide for collectors and sellers trying to determine what is real and what is fake. It even had a list of "suspicious" sellers of fake items. Maybe it went away because of that, who knows? But its section comparing popular titles and their many variations was super valuable, going beyond verbal descriptions and providing close-up photos. Separately there was another MoPo member who openly purchased repros just so he could compare them and share his results publicly. He was helpful too, esp. uncovering the Pulp Fiction advances with the fake stamp on the back which I unknowingly sold (and refunded) to a buyer back in the day. The mind resists the truth until it doesn't or it can't. It's why I will always appreciate these resources which are genuinely free. - d. http://www.moviepostercollectors.guide/Authentications.html (no longer works). ________________________________ From: MoPo List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Moviemem Original Movie Posters <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Monday, February 27, 2023 7:53 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: 1,914,888 million images and 1,967,382 million sales results completely free! Nearly 2 million images is quite incredible! I have around 50,000 on my website and that creates bandwith issues, etc. I can only imagine the cost of hosting 2 million images.

There is NO charge of any kind, but you do have to register on our site to see the prices and the larger images, because hosting 2 million images cost us a fortune (but registering is completely free). As of this writing, there are 1,967,382 sales results and 1,914,888 movie paper images (and thousands more of each are added every four weeks when our sets of auctions close). This is far and away the most movie poster images on ANY sales results website! As we said above, it costs a fortune to host, maintain and improve this database, and one of these days we may have to start charging for using some or all of it. So be sure to make the most of it while it remains completely free to all (and remember that it is the ONLY such database that offers 100% accurate results; all other such databases are filled with results that fell through or never happened, while we guarantee that EVERY single one of our results took place on the date listed, and that the price listed was paid in cash)! ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flistserv.american.edu%2Fscripts%2Fwa-american.exe%3FSUBED1%3DMoPo-L%26A%3D1&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cde0b2e06609d44577e0e08db193f4d05%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638131531887089984%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=9rVGIung9b%2B3sigITvylMc3OKaIZE1eUMgtNALNdDeo%3D&reserved=0> ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flistserv.american.edu%2Fscripts%2Fwa-american.exe%3FSUBED1%3DMoPo-L%26A%3D1&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cde0b2e06609d44577e0e08db193f4d05%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638131531887089984%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=9rVGIung9b%2B3sigITvylMc3OKaIZE1eUMgtNALNdDeo%3D&reserved=0> ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 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.
