Hello all. This is Nicole Pellegrino - Larry Springer's only daughter. We are sad that he passed unexpectedly 9/13/24 (Friday the 13th). It has been a very tough few months. My dad kept a pretty low profile in the movie memorabilia collecting world and enjoyed purchasing and trading posters with friends over his life and attending many conventions back in the 70s/80s/90s. We have been working with Heritage to sell a large part of his collection. However, we still have several westerns (his dad Lawrence M. Springer was a collector) and horror/sci-fi items to include, posters, lobby cards, photos, books, figures/busts, film cases, projectors etc. My husband Stephen Pellegrino has been helping our family to sell these items. If you are interested, please reach out with your want list - best is by title and main stars. I will also be listing a few items on ebay under my name ndpellegrino as the seller. Here is our contact info:We are located in Greencastle, PA. Please note I do not check this email regularly so reach out to the contact info below.

Larry Springer was a long time Horror/Sci Fi collector. A regular, good guy who especially loved Mummy items. A nice guy to deal with.

Always had pretty good stuff. With fair prices. First come first served. I bought one or two from them over the years.

There's some cool material, including some Universal six sheets on linen. I have neither the room to display nor the money to purchase them but "Ooooo!" and "Ahhhh!" factor is off the charts. Bidding starts on April 4th. And who was Larry K. Springer? I'm surprisedI never heard of him.Greg DouglassIn perpetually dismal Coos Bay, OR Sent: Monday, March 31, 2025 at 6:32 AM From: "Larry Brooks" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] Heritage's Poster DescriptionsI had an interesting experience recently with Heritage regarding their March 27th auction. It's frustrating how they try to hide what's really going on with a poster's condition. They had a Japanese original release B2 poster on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and I was interested. I zoomed through the Description and then impulsively placed a bid on it. Afterwards I went back and re-read the Description more carefully... and started thinking I'd acted wrong... moved too fast. Re-reading the Description I saw red flags I had neglected to focus on... like "Additionally, there are a few small strips of cellophane tape on the verso." Hmmm... how many tape strips constitutes what they think is "a few"? I emailed Heritage asking for more detailed information. And they promptly responded: "There are roughly 16 strips of cellophane tape along the borders and folds of the verso that are each no bigger than 1 inch. Additionally, there is one strip of cellophane tape on the verso that has a very minute piece of paper taped under it that is subtly visible on the recto." Whoa. How does 16 pieces of tape become "a few small strips of cellophane"? If I chase this poster and win it means that along with their oversized premium, I would have to find a poster restorer to remove the tape without damaging the piece.... so add in another $100 or so. Oh well, the poster was rare, thought I'd eat the cost and so I bid. Didn't win. Oh well..... on to the next auction.
