Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters
Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I completely disagree that 1980s posters are a huge waste of money. The best of the 1980s (along with the best of the 1970s on) are actually some of the *HOTTEST *posters there are! While many of the older posters from the early 20th century are lucky to sell for the same prices they sold for 20 years ago, many of the modern posters keep setting records. But what do I know? I only auction 110,000 movie posters a year. Bruce On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 3:17 AM, Toochis Morin fly...@pacbell.net wrote: Great article, Rudy!

Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters
I read an article a few months basically saying the same thing. Posters from the 70s or 80s aren't comamanding high dollar amounts (exceptions Star Wars, Lucky Stripes, Dirty Harry) but they are maintaining/increasing in value. One of the things I think about now that I'm buying is - should I need to sell down the road - will there be a market? For example, take films like Boomerang! or Kiss of Death. Most (if not all) of my social circle have never heard of them. Everyone knows the big names like lawrence of Arabia or Butch Cassidy The Sundance Kid...but how many people aged 20-40 have seen Les Doulos, Ride the High Country, or even Laura? For that generation their movies will be Inception, Dark Knight, The Terminator, etc. Similary, I may know Modern Times, the General, or Only ANgels have Wings but often pass on films from the early days of Hollywood which are relevant to some of you long time collectors. Each generation will define its own nostalgia and their worth.

[MOPO] BUSTED COLLECTIBLES etc These Sinister Theories Will Change How You Feel About Childhood Cartoons - Business Insider
If you think that the Business Insider article that Rudi was interviewed for was weird, check this one out. http://www.businessinsider.com/these-sinister-theories-will-change-how-you-feel-about-childhood-cartoons-2012-5 Writer Ashley Lutz mines some blog [reddit] to come up with bonkers shit about Spongebob and Scooby Doo. Insider, indeed. We all know that Spongy is just a cute little gay guy recruiting our kids. Oops, I mean your kids. As far as the eighties posters, I'll take a garage full of them, if you can find them. They sell pretty well, if they are good titles. http://www.businessinsider.com/these-sinister-theories-will-change-how-you-feel-about-childhood-cartoons-2012-5 Kirby McDaniel MovieArt Original Film Posters P.O.

Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters
Based on your recommendation and reputation, we sent a batch of 30-40+ posters to Heritage. They sent back an inventory which was a partial list including 10 posters of the 30-40+ posters we shipped. We called Grey and he said these were the posters they were going to put up for their March 2010 signature auction, but that the posters which weren't going up be listed in their print auction would be safe in their vault. A contract was sent for these 10 posters. The balance was not sent in an inventory to us. We had gotten in touch with Paul Miller of http://www.starwarsmovieposter.com/ . Paul is the expert on SW posters. He identified a batch of posters we had as the Deko posters. Of the 30-40+ posters we had sent to heritage, we had included 3 sections of the Deko 17 section posters. for his help in identifying and organizing our SW posters, we had promised to give Paul 1 of our 2 sets of mint, uncirculated Deko posters. Of course,we didn't have 2 full sets as we had mistakenly sent 3 of a set to Heritage. I called Heritage to inquire about getting back our posters. Heritage pitched us on auction in their weekly the remaining balance of uninventoried posters. You, Rudy, got involved and tried to convince us the weekly posters would net us enough that we should just go with Heritage. In the midst of this conversation, we also found out a poster we had sent to Heritage -- which was not on the signed inventory consignment contact -- was valuable -- a 1971 Clockwork Orange. We contacted Heritage and was told the inventoried contract only included posters which would be listed in the March 2010 auction. Being the naive, trusting souls we are, we waited. After the Oct 2010 signature auction of Clockwork, we received a check for $11,050 as you and Heritage received $1,950 commission on the sale. This Clockwork Orange poster was never included in the Feb 2010 inventory -- just like the Deko posters and 30 other posters. There is not signed contract we have with Heritage for consigning of selling this poster as Heritage never inventoried it or as far as we known, its never been inventoried, nor have we signed a consignor agreement for the $13,000 poster. Nevertheless, pleased at the sale and believing our unsold lots were safe, we sent another 30-40+ posters, including a 2nd John Lennon Get Carter. Charley and I packed them together. It took the two of us to roll them and secure them into a shipping tube. Charley then mailed then. At 72, Charley is not the same man as he was when he contracted with Kenner to produce Star Wars toys. He's older, and like a lot of us, has more problems doing things which came easily to him when he was in his 20-30's. He has memory issues, and it takes him longer to type. Several months after shipping the second batch, I emailed Heritage. To make a long story short, they claim that the only posters they received were 24 posters they received in an inventory they had gotten from Charley -- which does not include the Lennon Get Carter posters.. After publicly denoucing Heritage, Grey offered to sell our posters without a commission. You contacted us and said this was a good deal, we should go with it. We refused. Grey sent a batch of posters back. It took a lot of emails but Grey then stated he had returned all of our posters to us. All? Based on an inventory procedure which did not include Clockwork Orange and the Deko posters?

[MOPO] Reply To Geraldine
It seems that I can't post to MOPO without Geraldine popping out like a cuckoo bird on a spring. This has gone beyond rational discussion. I've spent a huge amount of time on this problem and Grey has spent the equivalent of days in hour after hour of trying to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Perhaps Geraldine should just sue everyone involved. After she loses, she can appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court where it will go down in judicial history as When I've Got A Hammer vs. Everything's A Nail. Meanwhile, I will continue to occasionally post here and just put up with the tirades. On some of the stock market discussion boards I visit, one can put a particularly annoying person on ignore so that their posts won't show up in your message box. Would that we could do that here.

As far as the eighties posters, I'll take a garage full of them, if you can find them. They sell pretty well, if they are good titles. Kirby, I agree, however the GOOD titles do well from ANY decade, the question is: What will be considered a 'good' title decades later? As in any other collectibles market, if you're buying for investment purposes, you have to know what you're doing. This goes for posters from any period, it's obviously not limited to the 1980s. If you had bought that garage full of 1980s posters for 10 cents a piece twenty years ago, you could certainly make money today, if you paid $10 a pop, hoping that each and every one of them would be worth at least $50 today, you would still have a hard time getting your money back... Let's face it, the number of RAIN MEN (still a solid $4 title at emovieposter) far outnumbers the FERRIS BUELLER Internationals, that can sell for $750-$1,000. While some titles are obviously more desirable than others, 1980s poster certainly don't qualify as 'busted collectibles'. I don't know about the US, but over here, PHONE CARDS were THE big 'investment opportunity' in the late 1980s and early 90s, the prepaid cards made to be used in public phone booths. Within a few years, an whole industry developed around them and the market was FLOODED by the darn things. For a few years, 'limited editions' were all over the place, with the 'top' titles selling for four-digit amounts. Ten thousands of collectors believed in the amazing 'investment potential', until one day, mobile phones came along... ;-( Now, if you're lucky, and you have enough time, I'm sure you can still find someone who'll pay you 50c for what once was a '$1,000 phone card', but 99.9% are worth exactly NOTHING these days...

As for 80s posters: In the article I was referring to the huge number of titles ( Mister Mom, Adventures In Babysitting, etc. ) that surface in roll after roll when some ex movie theater employee is moving. Sure there are some good titles. There are even some very good Mexican lobby cards or posters from India. But 99% of the stuff from that era is under $10 dross.

Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters
I am unclear about something. Is this an ongoing legal matter, or has it come to a resolution?

Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters
I am with you Bruce. Are they mad because they received a $10K+ check from Heritage for a poster that Heritage didn't even initially inventory? (There is no October 2010 Signature sale, so I am guessing maybe she means the July 2010 sale of Clockwork Orange.) Why did you send Heritage more posters if you believed they weren't giving a full accounting of your first shipment? Why did you wait several months after sending the second batch to see if Heritage even got them? Did you send these unsolicited? I can't imagine a scenario where I would send several thousand dollars worth of material to someone a second time if I was not pleased with how they were handling the first shipment and then wait several months before contacting them about the second. This latest message raises a lot more questions on your part than it does on Heritage.

Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters
Likewise here. Particularly confused about the Clockwork Orange poster. At the value stated it was presumably the David Pelham style, and I thought what Geraldine was saying was that though it wasn't listed in the inventory by Heritage it was put in the October 2010 auction. But I don't believe that style Clockwork Orange or anything for that title of that kind of value appeared at Heritage in October 2010 Sent from my iPhone On 1 Jun 2012, at 18:32, Bruce Hershenson brucehershen...@gmail.com wrote: I am unclear about something.

As for 80s posters: In the article I was referring to the huge number of titles ( Mister Mom, Adventures In Babysitting, etc. ) that surface in roll after roll when some ex movie theater employee is moving. Sure there are some good titles. There are even some very good Mexican lobby cards or posters from India. But 99% of the stuff from that era is under $10 dross. Bruce has had success with such material and I've actually referred several large accumulations of 80s and 90s stuff to him. Even in the poster business there's room for a salvage company. rudy On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 11:57 AM, Helmut Hamm texasmu...@web.de wrote: As far as the eighties posters, I'll take a garage full of them, if you can find them. They sell pretty well, if they are good titles. Kirby, I agree, however the GOOD titles do well from ANY decade, the question is: What will be considered a 'good' title decades later? As in any other collectibles market, if you're buying for investment purposes, you have to know what you're doing. This goes for posters from any period, it's obviously not limited to the 1980s. If you had bought that garage full of 1980s posters for 10 cents a piece twenty years ago, you could certainly make money today, if you paid $10 a pop, hoping that each and every one of them would be worth at least $50 today, you would still have a hard time getting your money back... Let's face it, the number of RAIN MEN (still a solid $4 title at emovieposter) far outnumbers the FERRIS BUELLER Internationals, that can sell for $750-$1,000. While some titles are obviously more desirable than others, 1980s poster certainly don't qualify as 'busted collectibles'. I don't know about the US, but over here, PHONE CARDS were THE big 'investment opportunity' in the late 1980s and early 90s, the prepaid cards made to be used in public phone booths. Within a few years, an whole industry developed around them and the market was FLOODED by the darn things. For a few years, 'limited editions' were all over the place, with the 'top' titles selling for four-digit amounts. Ten thousands of collectors believed in the amazing 'investment potential', until one day, mobile phones came along... ;-( Now, if you're lucky, and you have enough time, I'm sure you can still find someone who'll pay you 50c for what once was a '$1,000 phone card', but 99.9% are worth exactly NOTHING these days...
