Re: [MOPO] BLADERUNNER FAKES
Everything from details in the credit block to the smoke from the lit cigarette clearly indicated bogus.Linen backer wasn't perpetrating a fraud, just linen backing for a client, but he did say he wouldn't want to mention this finding to this particular client. I'd never want to to do business with that linen-backer again. By hiding the fraud, he's perpetuating and extending it. In my opinion it's shameful and unethical behavior.

[MOPO] FA: Even More Rarities You May Have Missed at Heritage!
From: Petty, John - 1283 Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 10:53 AM To: Petty, John - 1283 Subject: FA: Even More Rarities You May Have Missed at Heritage! With all the attention being given to such high-profile pieces as the Style D Bride of Frankenstein one sheet, the Scarface one sheet, the Dracula title card and the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 40 x 60, it's easy to over look some of the other great pieces in the upcoming Heritage Auction Galleries Vintage Movie Poster auctionhttp://movieposters.ha.com/common/auction/catalog.php?SaleNo=667ic=auctionhome_catalog. Here are just a few I'd like to call to your attention: One of the greatest futurists of the twentieth century was Herbert George Wells. Best known for his science fiction novels, including The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, and The Time Machine, the majority of his works dealt with the social, political and environmental changes that he saw as inevitable. He wrote several books on this topic, including Anticipations, his first bestseller, and Things to Comehttp://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?hdnJumpToLot=1Sale_No=667Lot_No=28015, which he adapted for the screen in 1936. Although Wells treatment was unconventional and controversial, the film that resulted, directed by William Cameron Menzies and starring Raymond Massey, Ralph Richardson, and Sir Cedric Hardwicke, is an enduring masterpiece. From its intelligent, compelling script to its glorious art deco designs, this movie is a treat for both eye and ear. Paper from this early sci-fi epic has always been scarce, and all it takes is one look at this beautiful one sheet to see why it's so highly desirable. Along with the one sheet, you'll also find a title card http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=667Lot_No=28016 and six scene cards from the original release of this classic film. Few characters in American history have been as colorful as William Buffalo Bill Cody. The legendary Indian fighter and frontiersman became so popular and well-known that he was able to parlay his fame into a traveling show that toured from 1893 until about 1903. The gorgeous stone litho one sheet, Buffalo Bill and San Juan Hillhttp://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=667hdnJumpToLot=1Lot_No=28135, in this auction is truly a sight to behold. Although there's absolutely no evidence that Cody was anywhere near San Juan Hill during the legendary battle in 1898, the poster, which pictures The Rough Riders Heroic Charge, is truly a thing of beauty. Posters such as this, promoting Cody's stage show, are very hard to find, and of interest not only to poster collectors, but to Western fans as well. If you're a Buffalo Bill fan, you'll also wand to check out the one sheet for Adventures of Buffalo Billhttp://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=667Lot_No=28136, the elusive Essanay poster from Cody's 1917 movie. My all-time favorite movie, tops on my desert island list, has always been The Adventures of Robin Hood http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?hdnJumpToLot=1Sale_No=667Lot_No=28192 with Errol Flynn. For my money, this movie has everything: action, drama, humor, romance, thrills, excitement, glorious Technicolor, a classic score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, a great cast, and more. No matter how many times I see this film, it always remains as fresh as the first time and just as enjoyable. I really like all the paper produced for this film, but the one sheet is particularly iconic and striking, as it perfectly captures Flynn's roguish charm and the swashbuckling nature of the picture. Many other actors have attempted to portray Robin Hood, but no one has so perfectly epitomized the English outlaw as Flynn. This poster, and the film it promotes, is a timeless classic. It's always fascinating to see foreign paper for American movies, especially Swedish posters produced during the 1930s. They tend to be very strong graphically, and extremely eyecatching. A perfect example is the Swedish one sheet for The Last Days of Pompeii http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?hdnJumpToLot=1Sale_No=667Lot_No=28204 in this current auction. You can practically feel the heat from the lava radiating from this dazzling poster, rendered primarily in bright reds and yellows. This is one of those posters that catches your eye when you first see it and refuses to let go. Even if you've never had much of an interest in foreign paper, you have to check this one out. If trippy is your thing, take a look at the one sheet for the 1968 film, The Acid Eatershttp://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=667hdnJumpToLot=1Lot_No=28327. This is the epitome of psychedelic, a real flashback to the groovy era of the 1960s. Produced by David Freidman, the man behind such cult classics as Two Thousand Maniacs, Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS, and Blood Feast, this over-the-top

[MOPO] Advice to new movie poster collectors
I've been thinking about my collection recently. Specifically, how can I get more enjoyment out of my collection? Many of the pieces have been hidden away in boxes for years and as I unfolded and photographed the pieces, I was amazed to find that I remembered when, where, and from whom (and for how much), I obtained them. Not all of these memories were good -- some I overpaid given their condition, some resulted from bad trades, and a few were bad decisions when I needed to chose between two posters and just chose wrong. So, I wanted to jot down some advice to new movie poster collectors. And this is what I came up with -- 5 simple items (feel free to add your own): 1) Take the time to enjoy your collection. Stashing your collection away in a box is unacceptable! Know what you have, and put it up on the walls so that you can see it. You will quickly amass more pieces that you can display -- so rotate regularly. If you find that you have pieces that never get displayed, perhaps its time for them to find a new home! 2) Buy what you like. By this I mean, know what you want and more importantly why you want it. Personally, I recommend buying posters for movies you like, but even then only if the poster is interesting graphically. The obvious corollary to this is, don't by what you don't like -- this is equally important. If you don't like 50s sci-fi don't buy it (there are plenty of people who do -- leave it for them). If you would never put it on the walls, you should probably just pass. 3) Learn about the material. Take the time to know what's available. What are the standard sizes? What are the standard conditions? Buy (and read) as many poster books as you afford. Visit a poster dealer to see/touch a stack of posters. Know what kind flaws are acceptable to you (and which are not). Learn how to grade posters. Research foreign posters -- frequently their artwork is more appealing. Chances are you can't afford to buy it all -- so you will need to know what's the best piece for you to own for a particular title. Know how to determine what a piece is worth -- know what price guides you trust. 4) Its about the hunt! Collecting is about collecting, not about owning. You will remember how you came to own most of your significant pieces -- so, take time to enjoy the hunt. Go to a live poster auction. Go to poster convention. Hunt down local collectors and see what they have (and want to get rid of). Go to antique malls. Google movie poster, and visit every site on the web! Stuff is out there, be patient, know when to make your move. 5) Remember that you are not alone. Meet and get to know other collectors and dealers. You will find that you have a lot in common with them (they love film, they lover posters, they love telling you about the time they didn't by that mint copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's from the fat man at the Denver Collector's Fair for $125 in 1992). Go online and search out mailing lists and chat groups, sign up, lurk in the shadows for a while then introduce yourself. Thats it! Just 5 simple things to remember. Let me know how it works out for you. And if you ever run into a 1930s Cary Grant 1-sheet in VG or better for a reasonable price, give me a call.

Re: [MOPO] Advice to new movie poster collectors
Hey Evan, What a wonderful post! I could relate to each part of your advice. Sometimes I forget how fun it was searching for certain posters. I have been very fortunate to have had very few bad experiences. I have made many wonderful friends along the 34 year way! Most are kindred spirits who understand the continued desire for some of these posters. Most of my close friends have never understood it. Oh well, to each his own. You were right on in your post and it is often the very same advice I give to new collectors that buy frames from me. Educate yourself and buy what you like...

I just had to publicly that you for the too kind e-mail you posted last night.

But you sure did speak up for me last night, and quite eloquently, and I certainly do very much appreciate it. If Gary Cooper had had someone like you speaking up for him in High Noon, that movie certainly would have had a very different second half!

Re: [MOPO] Advice to new movie poster collectors
And I like the part about making sure to LOOK AT your collection, and displaying as much of it as possible. I try to do that...but sometimes it's difficult so i just go through my boxes and take everything out and admire it...sometimes all be myself, just for the fun of it.

Especially about remembering to enjoy the hunt itself! I myself have been surprised over and over again both at what turns up and where it turns up...often when and where you least expect it! And sharing your latest finds with others who really appreciate it is one of the best parts of the hobby.

Dave Posteropolis www.posteropolis.com - Original Message - From: Evan Zweifel To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 3:07 PM Subject: [MOPO] Advice to new movie poster collectors I've been thinking about my collection recently. Specifically, how can I get more enjoyment out of my collection? Many of the pieces have been hidden away in boxes for years and as I unfolded and photographed the pieces, I was amazed to find that I remembered when, where, and from whom (and for how much), I obtained them. Not all of these memories were good -- some I overpaid given their condition, some resulted from bad trades, and a few were bad decisions when I needed to chose between two posters and just chose wrong. So, I wanted to jot down some advice to new movie poster collectors. And this is what I came up with -- 5 simple items (feel free to add your own): 1) Take the time to enjoy your collection. Stashing your collection away in a box is unacceptable! Know what you have, and put it up on the walls so that you can see it. You will quickly amass more pieces that you can display -- so rotate regularly. If you find that you have pieces that never get displayed, perhaps its time for them to find a new home! 2) Buy what you like. By this I mean, know what you want and more importantly why you want it. Personally, I recommend buying posters for movies you like, but even then only if the poster is interesting graphically. The obvious corollary to this is, don't by what you don't like -- this is equally important. If you don't like 50s sci-fi don't buy it (there are plenty of people who do -- leave it for them). If you would never put it on the walls, you should probably just pass. 3) Learn about the material. Take the time to know what's available. What are the standard sizes? What are the standard conditions? Buy (and read) as many poster books as you afford. Visit a poster dealer to see/touch a stack of posters. Know what kind flaws are acceptable to you (and which are not). Learn how to grade posters. Research foreign posters -- frequently their artwork is more appealing. Chances are you can't afford to buy it all -- so you will need to know what's the best piece for you to own for a particular title. Know how to determine what a piece is worth -- know what price guides you trust. 4) Its about the hunt! Collecting is about collecting, not about owning. You will remember how you came to own most of your significant pieces -- so, take time to enjoy the hunt. Go to a live poster auction. Go to poster convention. Hunt down local collectors and see what they have (and want to get rid of). Go to antique malls. Google movie poster, and visit every site on the web! Stuff is out there, be patient, know when to make your move. 5) Remember that you are not alone. Meet and get to know other collectors and dealers. You will find that you have a lot in common with them (they love film, they lover posters, they love telling you about the time they didn't by that mint copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's from the fat man at the Denver Collector's Fair for $125 in 1992). Go online and search out mailing lists and chat groups, sign up, lurk in the shadows for a while then introduce yourself. Thats it! Just 5 simple things to remember. Let me know how it works out for you. And if you ever run into a 1930s Cary Grant 1-sheet in VG or better for a reasonable price, give me a call.
