If any of you disagree, I have a very large similar collection of
printing blocks I was consigned, and I will sell them for a tiny
fraction of the appraised amount, and the buyer can become rich
overnight. Any takers?

Yeah 10 million for 60,000 pieces id an average of
$166 a block. I don't think thats remotely realistic. I don't think
its worth more than $100,000
still a good deal for a $2000 buy in

Has anyone heard about this?

In 1999, two friends went into a Nebraska antique shop and found a
massive collection of letterpress blocks and plates that were used
to make advertisements for movies in newspapers. They bought the
whole shebang for $2000 and have spent the last 17 years cataloging
and cleaning the 60,000 plates & blocks. The collection, which spans
nearly the entire history of the film industry from the silent era
to 1984, was recently appraised at ~$10 million and is available for
acquisition.

look we love memorabilai..and wheni lookat thestuff  isaved over the

likethat..ihave foundpotential in  much that others would have 
pitched..i was just thinking one of my old fish gotw away stores iII was 
in new yorkcity and at theguffanti film labs who also had tons of old 
moviolias and editingequipment..over inthe coornerwas a very old 
moviola... fromVitagraph studios,, maybefrom tteens or20s,,i was so 
moved by itt I was specchles..because i thought how can i make a offer 
on it???so i went back home o Toledo and called them and said ok 
lets stsrt at ill offer you 800.00 and shippping by truckhe said 
thats OLd thing?? we put it on the street forgenrela pickup 
lastweekso  he wanted toseell theneweruser gearandthought theold 
stuff was junk...
these printing blocks are interestingas they will clean upandifyou made 
a table top and cober withglass..or a wall howeverthere are many movies 
no one is interested in and genres..and all sothey could piecemeal them 
onebay i would guess for start bid of10 and see what happens.and thegood 
titles mayseel but probably inthe 10-30range..so ifthere is 60k of them 
the GP could be ok..its just piecemeal..maybe they could make lots..or 
send them to you bruce...they are novel ..i justthrew awaya salad bag

price if i had to sell it,,i did the producers ollection of e.hollywood 
true storys..as he donated to a university and needed tax right 
offs,,,and they wre like dupe tape scripts and all but i would price 
based on what you could get froma video co..or liekscript city in

inthe dot com era fomian names sold as high as 10 million as they looked 
at the potential of busines that could be generated offthe site and

Those printing blocks remind me of the scene in Treasure of Sierra Madre,
when Bogart and Holt find "fool's gold" and think they have hit the mother
lode, only to have their dreams smashed by Walter Huston.

This "multi-million dollar appraisal" was one of many spectacularly bad
appraisals made a number of years ago.

If any of you disagree, I have a very large similar collection of printing
blocks I was consigned, and I will sell them for a tiny fraction of the

Re: [MOPO] Short film on Newspaper Movie Ads

[Tom Martin]

I  have some of the ad slick books from70s and 80s ..thought it was emil 
noah??? movie ad service..was not it in Florida? the block engravings 
were one color and used mostly in newspaper orhand bills... nice however 
to seel  that mother load would be thesameissue with money as morries 
lobbies...who has the money?? and as a investment how counld they give 
PMI on that outlay...my best thought is at a theme park they could be a 
novelty and charge like3.00 to makea hand print..however to recoup 10 
million would take years and the zinc plates could wear out good 
titles..or get lost or stolenand manyof the titles would lack 
interest..as a artexhibit you could line some walls with them in a 
museum buteventhe mst add cllector like me would be overwhelmed and the  
joe public does not give a shit...so whoever gavea auction estimate of 
10 million may have  made a error in the opinion.however auctions can 
surprise us all...
.however put them up for auction..my gut feel is even a museum that is a 
501c3 would want a donation and doubt the owners need oneif its not 
money motivated...be happy to get 5 k and save some movie crapif you 
want profits from it   somewhere over the rainbow..and hope you find 
some delirious collector that has 10 million...
If it was the plates for one sheets ...could have potential..and the 
stone litho matrix all broke orwhere reground to make new one off 
Bavarian rock..so thats why you dont see stone litho matrix stones
 this was funny i would have cleaned then with kerosene..as the 
vinegar is acidic but its cool they saved them...2k was probably the 
right amount storage probably cost more and the time to clean them 
andinventory..good luck.. dreams can happen so maybe it will come true 
and they will be rewarded...heck i just bought a powerball so who am i i 
think we both have the same odds... LOL:)
i applaud they are saved..i would say donate toa god museum that would 
care for them and have as a resourceof print engraving history...

Re: [MOPO] Short film on Newspaper Movie Ads

[Tom Martin]

sounds like groucho..LOL :) i bought a powerball..but i dont need any 
thing so ive considered all the people i know that need money for 
projects an stuff that think money is the answer...i just like to pay my 
bills and keep the heat on..stuff ends up being liability..the less i 
have the morefree i feeland les to lose... but its fun to build 
things like product venture stores..and ideas and we need the cash flow 
to fuel them..but anyone that did always plows it into new ventures or 
helps the less fortunate..or other dreamers like edison and ford did and 
buffet,gates and jobs..we never really own anything..we are jus stewards 
as i see it...
if we get blessed its important to be like good farmers and plant seed 
so other can get harvest or we are a miserable lonley lot...imho-if ican 
i want to pay it forward and share all my experiences of tumbling and 
falling so the next guy gets a softer landing...:)

Has anyone heard about this?

In 1999, two friends went into a Nebraska antique shop and found a
massive collection of letterpress blocks and plates that were used
to make advertisements for movies in newspapers. They bought the
whole shebang for $2000 and have spent the last 17 years cataloging
and cleaning the 60,000 plates & blocks. The collection, which spans
nearly the entire history of the film industry from the silent era
to 1984, was recently appraised at ~$10 million and is available for
acquisition.

In 1999, two friends went into a Nebraska antique shop and found a massive

This has been kicking around for years.  It’s curious, but has not been shown 
ever to be remotely worth anywhere near this amount.  It’s just very odd.

Thanks for posting, unique find.

The woman says her rich friends aren’t particularly happy.

I did read a study that claimed that “money happiness” maxes out at $75K a 
year. You can live comfortably and have some discretionary spending as well at 
that level

Re: [MOPO] Short film on Newspaper Movie Ads

[Alan Adler]

The thing about it - who is going to buy it?
Museums don’t like to pay - they could get a donor to buy and donate - but 
that’s a tough game.

Other than museums - marketing would be tough - you could sell a number of 
them, then the market would be saturated -
Education to the public would be tough, too - maybe a museum could sell them as 
paper weights -
Then the best ones fly out the door and you have a lot of junk titles.

You can’t sell prints or T shirts from them without dealing with rights holders.

Nice short film.


$10 Million??  I'd be curious to know how an appraiser came up with that figure?


I wish them luck as it seems like they're already counting on a sale, but I 
think they're going to have a very hard time selling it for anything near that 
amount.
