Personally, I think it is really ridiculous the value of some of these Star 
Wars items. 


We had lumped a bunch of the Star Wars action figures together -- sent by 
Kenner directly to Charley and stored in an unopened box until a few years ago, 
when we started to sell off items -- and listed this 18 figure group on ebay 
for $20K. 


Because this was the start of the recession, in the listing, I said Kenner Star 
Wars toys were a recession proof investment. 


I got a couple of VERY NASTY letters from Star Wars dealers and no bites.

So we packed up the toys and sent them to AFA for grading. 


Then started listing them individually on ebay. The first 5 figures sold within 
30 min of listing at a BIN price which totaled into a sum  overshooting any 
investment one could have made in the period.

Zev, fanaticism of Star Wars fans is one of the reason Charley hates dealing 
with the public.

Grey, your past business dealing with other poster dealers is not proof you 
dealt with us in a proper, up and above board manner. 
 
We are in a different category of MOPO members -- we are from the group which 
generated this memorabilia you claim to hold so highly. A specific example 
would be John Van Hammersveld's Get Carter poster which Charley commissioned 
John to do while he was working under Mike Kaplan is sought after by MOPOers. 
While we had multiples of this poster (because Charley worked on it), we are 
not MOPOers who you can depend on for return buying, selling or trading. 
 
Who are we?
 
Charley Lippincott is legendary in film marketing because he changed the face 
of film marketing by merchandising Star Wars to kids. His advance marketing 
campaign on STAR WARS changed the way companies marked to kids. Tie-ins and 
merchandizing became de rigeur. Star Wars also became the top grossing, 
evergreen empire it is today. Charley's Star Wars campaign is history. Period. 
From his work archive we have Star Wars material which even Lucasfilm does not 
have in their holdings. And it’s not only Star Wars.-- Charley was Exec VP at 
MGM, Dino De Laurentis and Ridley's Alien. When we moved out of Los Angles, we 
shipped 72,000 pounds, most of which consisted of the Lippincott Collections 
Charley acquired over his lifetime.
 
Several years ago, looking at liquidating some of the collection, I contacted 
Rudy Franchi. As the former curator of film at the San Jose Museum of Art and 
past recipient of NEA film history grants, I knew of Rudy Franchi prior to his 
PBS fame. I contacted Rudy about some strange sized posters, and Charley ended 
up speaking with him. The two knew each other by professional reputation -- 
they were of the same era, had both done publicity, and were interested in 
criticism. Rudy queried us about the collection and convinced us to send 
material to Grey, stating Grey would take care of everything. That was part of 
Heritge's service. As Heritage's web site clearly states their inventory 
procedure by bonded staff, we were reassured by Rudy and Grey, who called us 
several times to make sure we got the posters packed and shipped..
 
I won't go into detail about all the back and forth here. Suffice it to day, I 
was not happy. 
 
On MOPO, I responded to an article someone posted about bad auction houses 
stating some of inventory went missing. Bruce wanted to which house had lost 
part of our inventory. I honestly responded -- Heritage. I got barraged by 
MOPOers -- yes, flamed and nastily accused of bedevilry and evil. Naturally, I 
responded. MOPOers got angry at one of their cherished brethren for being so 
churlishly accused and tossed more fireworks at me, to which I responded.  
 
All through this, I never said Heritage stole our posters. I said our part of 
inventory was missing. 
 
Grey, then you allegedly sent back our inventory. Prior to this, you had stated 
our posters were untouched in their original shipping tubes. But the shipping 
tubes and boxes you sent back to us were not ones we used. Further, a rare, 
hand-lithographed 40x60 Serpico advanced screening poster (which Charley 
personally got from Dino's NY office when he was dating Rafaella De Laurentis) 
had been replaced with a cheap Serpico advance poster that had a taped tear in 
the same area our original lithograph had been taped Gee, if that doesn't 
sound like an outright, pathological theft, I don't know what does.

2013-01-31 Thread Geraldine Kudaka
Philip, we were in the process of inventorying our posters. That was the reason 
I contacted Rudy. I was researching their value. 


We had inventoried our posters stock and was researching the value of 
individual posters. I had a couple of old books, but felt we needed to gain a 
better, more contemporary view of posters worth so I had started searching the 
internet. Rudy offers help of people like us in determining what our collection 
is worth. 


We had a group of posters which were an odd size that had an imprint at the 
bottom. We could not find information as to what they were, so googling movie 
posters, I came upon Rudy's site. I contacted Rudy, and Charley talked to him. 
Rudy then urged us to send them to Heritage -- which would save us the time of 
trying to research out poster value..

Rudy was the one who told me about MOPO as a place where we could find 
information on posters, and that was why we joined the group.


Being in the movie industry does not mean you know the value of the posters you 
have acquired because you worked on the film. That's like asking a chef at a 
popular restaurant how the credit card processing works at his restaurant.


Owning two copies of each Star Wars posters which had been by 20th Century does 
not mean we know or care about their value. Ditto for the stack of  Van 
Hammersveld's Get Carter, Imagine, etc.


I'm sure it is every dealers dream to meet an heir to a former theater 
distributor or movie exec who has a stack of stuff in their attic which they 
are willing to sell for a pittance.

I think I got it. 
 
It's the New Year, and in case I forgot from last  year and the year before 
that, Grey Smith is lying cheating scum and  Heritage's business practices are 
dishonest across all of their collecting  disciplines. In addition, when 
Charles Lippincott, Charley Lippincott, the  Lippincott Collection, Mrs. 
Charles Lippincoot, Geraldine Kudalka or Ms  Kudaka ( and I can call George 
Lucas to get the preferred name in the event  that I am ever confused) decided 
to auction part of their collection  - after more experience and contacts in 
film marketing,  promotion and merchandising - than I could acquire in 
multiple lifetimes, they  were absolutely clueless about how to do so and were 
victimized.
 
Oh...and you've hired an attorney and not gotten  the relief you seek. Am I

The other problem is that libraries aren't set up to be able to
house collections. 


We looked at donating Charley's 20,000 vinyl record collection of
American jazz to the Library Of Congress  and was turned down. 

Ditto for his alumni, Northwestern. 


The problem with some collections is the cost of housing. Also, we
wanted his jazz collection made available for public use, free of
charge, and to remain intact. 


LOC flat out didn't want it -- it couldn't house more LPS -- and
Northwestern wanted us to increase the donation with cash so they
could house and staff the collection.

For those considering donating to museums or non-profits with the
hopes of keeping the collection intact, the laws regarding donations
have changed. It used to be -- as in the case of the Isabella Stewart
museum -- you could make a stipulation the collection was to remain
intact. But that has been overturned. Museums can now find a way to
sell off items so that they can use the cash generated to keep their
collection current.

Its great when people donate to Museums , schools, and  non profit
Orgs..
many of the things can be displayed or even sold by the groups as
fundraisers.
As long as its preserved and not thrown away.. with private
collections som are not safe from fire, floods and theft..or even
climate conditions. 
They could get thrown out if the collector passes away and has no
instructions or will, I suggest you either make notes and leave a
guide to relatives what peiece are good or value and also a list of
where to donate. A local friend donated a Huge GWTW collection to
Atlanta library vs selling to public.

The only problem with Huge collections... they can get packed away
in
the librarys and never seen... there are some great collections in
USC and also Eastman house and some others.. like the Sol lessor
camera collection.. that has many historic pieces


Also  as far as what to give,, its all good even simple stuff as it
can be sold to fundraisers and get things the Orgs need.

I think its commendable that people donate.. Good job Dwight.

my son now 26 was a avid Star wars fan... as a child ourfather son
time was spent collecting toys and we actually played on the floor
with them as I thouht that what toys where made for.. so I gave hime
mint in box xwing fighters and all the at ats and he playedin the
bathtub making sounds and delving into imagination sure we lost
finacial profits.,, but he got the tactile passion of Play that to me
was priceles... and we also bought some investment Toys... and we
bought many closeout Toys like Jurrassicpark when no one thought them
good... I told him Buy what you love not because it may be pricey as
everyone speculated on the newer star wars and got burnt becaus its
so availible... But the 1977 was before toy investment was so hot
so anyways when he decided he waned to make films he took those
12 back sw figure sold them for good money and bought a Mini DV
digital Video 24fps camera and a new mac with final cut pro..and made
a film you can see free on  youtube called  Salami Joe a retro
comedy scifi where you can see homages to all the 80s films he grew
up on.. and done with no budget... he even makes props of things and
people like his stuff so I think the experiencewas a success and It
gave us some cool father son time.. we got to meet Sansweet, Rick
mcallum, many of the actors and Drew Struzan,,, also beg artis like
hilldebrandt bros.. at conventions.. and so the memories where
awesome.. and he learned that when the collection passes through our
hands we are stewarts and we cangrow and do more things by selling it
and allowing others to experience it...

I just had Breakfast today wih Todd Mcfarlanes ex partner Paul Burke
and hear all kinds of stories as he is publishing art books of Jack
Davis and others and worked with Stan Lee, and many many people... it
was a interesting meeting... we talked about the heydays when many
items sold different and in volume where now its a different world...
But there are still opportunitys and thers always fresh new thoughts.

I am trying to adapt my experienece and pay it forward to assit
dreamers and industry folk and newbies so If i can be of help in
any way,, even just brainstorming  it doesnt cost anything to call me
and see if I can offer some solutions.. as I like when I can help a
ORG and or museum or if I can help bulkout lots,, the logistics can
be wild..

The other problem is that libraries aren't set up to be able to
house collections. 


We looked at donating Charley's 20,000 vinyl record collection
of
American jazz to the Library Of Congress  and was turned down. 

Ditto for his alumni, Northwestern. 


The problem with some collections is the cost of housing. Also,
we
wanted his jazz collection made available for public use, free of
charge, and to remain intact. 


LOC flat out didn't want it -- it couldn't house more LPS -- and
Northwestern wanted us to increase the donation with cash so they
could house and staff the collection.

For those considering donating to museums or non-profits with
the
hopes of keeping the collection intact, the laws regarding
donations
have changed. It used to be -- as in the case of the Isabella
Stewart
museum -- you could make a stipulation the collection was to
remain
intact. But that has been overturned. Museums can now find a way
to
sell off items so that they can use the cash generated to keep
their
collection current.

  Philip, we were in the process of inventorying our posters. That was the 
reason I contacted Rudy. I was researching their value. 



  We had inventoried our posters stock and was researching the value of 
individual posters. I had a couple of old books, but felt we needed to gain a 
better, more contemporary view of posters worth so I had started searching the 
internet. Rudy offers help of people like us in determining what our collection 
is worth. 



  We had a group of posters which were an odd size that had an imprint at the 
bottom. We could not find information as to what they were, so googling movie 
posters, I came upon Rudy's site. I contacted Rudy, and Charley talked to him. 
Rudy then urged us to send them to Heritage -- which would save us the time of 
trying to research out poster value..


  Rudy was the one who told me about MOPO as a place where we could find 
information on posters, and that was why we joined the group.



  Being in the movie industry does not mean you know the value of the posters 
you have acquired because you worked on the film. That's like asking a chef at 
a popular restaurant how the credit card processing works at his restaurant.



  Owning two copies of each Star Wars posters which had been by 20th Century

are willing to sell for a pittance.
