Diane:
During my numerous visits with you at your facility, I have watched you handle 
all manner of difficult business situations with patience and absolute 
honestyhell, you saved Studio C when the business was in deep trouble, 
mired in a mess that was none of your doing. Your loveliness as a human being, 
coupled with your aforementioned integrity, only serves to underscore what a 
blatant, obscene miscarriage of justice this whole situation is.
I'm just a small potatoes collector, but you always treated me like I was 
spending a million bucks with you. I am outraged and broken-hearted for you 
tonight.
Hang tough, Diane.

I've had these for about 25  years...believed to be  from the original

hard to find.  When they appear, they regularly sell  for anywhere from $75 
to $125 each.  Will sell all 11 for $450 plus  postage.

Hi, again,
 
   Hey, I just wanted to say I'm not really certain what in hell  these 
1-Sheets are worth.  One of our hobby's most prominent dealers had  been 
selling them at $125 each...but he's completely out of stock.  
Just wanted to say I'm open for offers for the lot of eleven.  I think  if 
there could be such a thing as a higher level repro than ones found on 
eBay  this is definitely the case.  They measure 27x41...not 27x40 or 24x36 or  
whatever other crazy sizes repros come in.  I've had them since the late  
80's...way back before the repo madness even began. Like I said, I'm open 
to  offers, but I'm certainly not going to give them away...
 Thanks to all,
  Rick

[MOPO] as the dracula lawsuit turns - final update

2013-01-23 Thread konstantinos
so you have a  default summery judgement against you!   not so bad at this 
point. Speaking from personal experience, and having been in your spot for an 
amount far less;  you can hire a NJ licensed  attorney, to remove the  
judgement and ask for another trial date. this should cost a few hundred 
dollars, but again form experience-in the state of NJ, it is very easily done!  
with a good attorney!  good luck let me/us know if we an help with an attorney.

[MOPO] As The Dracula Lawsuit Turns - Final Update

2013-01-23 Thread Diane Jeffrey
Hi All - I did not think that this would result in so much response both here 
and on other forums.  A few comments to address some of the questions that have 
come up:

When I received the initial complaint, I did not ignore it.  I retained an 
attorney in New Jersey to handle the response.  When it became apparent that I 
would not be able to keep counsel, I figured I would represent myself.  New 
Jersey court informed me that due to my company being a corporation, I was not 
allowed to.  At this point I knew the end result would be a Default Judgment. 
So it was no surprise to me.

On another forum there has been some discussion about restorers and their 
obligation to their clients vs moral obligation to the hobby.  In this case, I 
did the restoration, knowingly restored incorrect information at the bottom, 
setting up a red flag on this poster.  This poster was sent to John Davis for 
authenticity, my red flag was changed, obviously to further authenticate the 
poster.
I publically stated my concerns about the poster and, well, we all know what 
happened then.

I had planned, well in advance, for the potential ramifications of this case.  
This will not close Studio C, we are alive and well.  

We have all had unfair things happen to us in our life and this happens to be 
one of mine.  It is just money and thieves/crooks, not really important stuff. 
That being said, it has still been such a help receiving all the encouraging 
words from all of you and you will always have my very heartfelt appreciation.

Diane

Re: [MOPO] As The Dracula Lawsuit Turns - Final Update

2013-01-23 Thread Kirby McDaniel
Mopolistas:

Did I ever tell you all about the time that Joe H. overbilled my credit cards 
by almost $4000?  Because we were behind in Quick Books, I did not
find this out until about 6 months later.  In the meantime, Joe had run into 
difficulties and left the business.  Diane never missed a beat.  She absorbed 
the
charges and put us right.  She is one of the most stand-up people I know.

I wrote the Judge in this case and said so.

This is a miscarriage of justice.  Sometimes it just happens.  We all hope that 
it won't happen to us.  The idea that Diane would help to perpetrate a fraud is 
just
patently wrong.  

So I hope you feel good about yourself, Mr. Rega, wherever you are, whoever you 
think you are.  What goes around.

Diane, chin up.  We'll get you some business.

Kirby

Re: [MOPO] As The Dracula Lawsuit Turns - Final Update

2013-01-23 Thread Tom Martin

Diane - as we dont know all the facts what happened and you are
taking this is stride, one thing that could have been done was change
of Venue if you met certain state laws or if your health or ability
to get off work... also I hope that in the defauly you explored if
you could request a review or appeal.. make sure your limitations
didnt run out.. I would think to invest a few hundred bux for a legal
opinion may be well worth the cost vvs that judgement. Also you could
get a negocociator to discus the settlement and perhaps get a
reduction... as this will show up on all the credit reorts as a
judgement, Dunn and bradstreet and the like and could affet the
credit line of the business.  You have a good reputation amoung MOPO
people.,so the value of your Good will in your craft is important
also.. Perhaps draft up a form that people sign when they give you
art in the future that would hold harmless any intellectual property
issues related to the works and also put everyone on notice that you
are acting only as a restoration artist. You and John and others
could creat a standardized document that could cover all legal
aspects and considerations. this way you would be in fear each time
someone brings in a high end piece and the stigma and also trauma
wont haunt you.
We all make mistakes or may overlook potential issues.. its not the
end and It will also bring light to the subject in the future, I
would like you to explore every way to reduce the amount you need to
pay.. It also may be covered in your business policy under liability 
if not see if you can also ad a rider onto the excisting policy..
Best of luck and God bless..
Tom

Hi All - I did not think that this would result in so much response
both here and on other forums.  A few comments to address some of the
questions that have come up:

When I received the initial complaint, I did not ignore it.  I
retained an attorney in New Jersey to handle the response.  When it
became apparent that I would not be able to keep counsel, I figured I
would represent myself.  New Jersey court informed me that due to my
company being a corporation, I was not allowed to.  At this point I
knew the end result would be a Default Judgment. So it was no
surprise to me.

On another forum there has been some discussion about restorers and
their obligation to their clients vs moral obligation to the hobby. 
In this case, I did the restoration, knowingly restored incorrect
information at the bottom, setting up a red flag on this poster. 
This poster was sent to John Davis for authenticity, my red flag was
changed, obviously to further authenticate the poster.
I publically stated my concerns about the poster and, well, we all
know what happened then.

I had planned, well in advance, for the potential ramifications of
this case.  This will not close Studio C, we are alive and well.  

We have all had unfair things happen to us in our life and this
happens to be one of mine.  It is just money and thieves/crooks, not
really important stuff. That being said, it has still been such a
help receiving all the encouraging words from all of you and you will
always have my very heartfelt appreciation.

Diane

Re: [MOPO] as the dracula lawsuit turns - final update

2013-01-23 Thread Tom Martin

thats what I thought also.. but NJ law may be different then Cal and
Oh... wow if you could help her that would be great and if she could
get some MOPO councilors as we have soem to review the case and get a
retirial she could prepare and defence and perhaps get a dismissal or
at least a major reduction settlement... also the other firm may have
not represented her proper.. Its worth anther look.. that was kind to
point that out !  Hope you help Diane

so you have a  default summery judgement against you!   not so bad
at this point. Speaking from personal experience, and having been in
your spot for an amount far less;  you can hire a NJ licensed 
attorney, to remove the  judgement and ask for another trial date.
this should cost a few hundred dollars, but again form experience-in
the state of NJ, it is very easily done!  with a good attorney!  good
luck let me/us know if we an help with an attorney.
