So your involvement, your whole line of argument is beyond 
contradictory - because it's a line travels a complete circle back to 
yourself, and you have a blind spot so big that you can't even see it.


** I've got no beef with Peter* and regard him highly, at least 
compared to his former biz partner back in the day who had a promo for 
a famous Fritz Lang 3-sheet that was seized shortly after it went up. 
I should have probably shut up about that too, huh.  Not my place, 
right?  But ok for the Hollywood

Reporter and other news outlets to chime in. *shrug*



** Meanwhile, you should clean up your own house of cards* in relation 
to movie poster auctions - before defending or slagging the operations 
of any poster re-seller you love or hate. Your incessant defecation of 
movie posters as a terrible investment collectible in relation to 
other collectibles - is YOUR trademark message, at least compared to 
your stock in trade, i.e., comics. You never stop making this point - 
betwixt and between commenting on the news of the day as if you're 
Paul Krugman or Wm. F. Buckley. OK, point made, we get it, along with 
your over-use of the word, "analog" to compare different categories of 
collectibles like some high-falutin' art professor at Columbia. Don't 
really disagree.


** You may have 40-60 years expertise as a hustler / salesman* - but 
your public slagging of posters only arrives after several sputtering 
/ failed merry-go-rounds on your part - trying to make a go of posters 
as a profitable auction enterprise for yourself.  Hence the reason why 
the "auction" portion of your creation, *movieposterbid.com* 
 - is a moribund reminder of that 
failure.  It's a fixed price site today - with no auctions for, well, 
maybe as long as three years now.  Guess there's no need to update 
that page. There's always hope.

the Kirbs and Alans and Dales and on-and-on *- (sorry to drag you guys

to co-exist with great reputations among customers AND with fellow 
merchants. *Mensches all.*

** I know what people say about me is not complimentary*. But when 
you're gonna die sooner rather than later, fewer years ahead than 
behind - you don't really care.  I do try to be fair.

you - and if you do* - you likely wear your short-fuse temper like a 
self-hating badge of honor. You can't stop getting personal in your 
writing, in my view projecting an aura that suggests that you see 
yourself as a Tony Soprano hit-man or a self-appointed MoPo policeman 
- (a job that only belongs to Scott Burns) - to counterpoint or to 
kill anyone who disagrees by pounding them into tomorrow. So I'm 
trying that playbook in response to your latest insult to see how it 
feels - trying to not sound too crass.


** In my view, your rude articulation skills *have never been a good 
look that persuades others who are armed with hilarious stories 
collected and shared about your own quirks, proclivities and tastes. 
But I guess this doesn't matter because you can't be hurt at MoPo 
because posters aren't your bag except to acquire something for yourself.


** Your aptitude for warm personal relations is a big fail,* closer to 
a wannabe Lee J. Cobb character - (a great actor, BTW) - in "On the 
Waterfront," you know, "Hit 'em first before they hit you, every man 
for himself, we're a law-abiding union." (Furtively hides his guns in 
the safe.)  You humble brag your resume but it arrives shortly before 
you get fed up and use euphemisms for, "You're a dead man" - e.g., 
like that time you physically threatened another person on these

Man oh man Greg, I busted a gut reading this!  You and Freeman are the funniest 
dudes on MoPo.  Your post took me back to the 70s through the 90s.  Bought my 
first movie posters at Comic Con where they were folded in boxes on dealer 
tables and sold for $5 bucks - and then I'd go home and TACK THEM TO MY BEDROOM 
WALL WITH FREAKING SCOTCH TAPE!  I used to haunt the movie memorabilia stores 
up in LA constantly.  There used to be an awesome place on Vine north of 
Hollywood Blvd. where I spent hours visiting - I wish I could remember its 
name. It was always crowded.

Meanwhile, I've never bought posters for an investment - but it might come into 
play when I upgrade a title and sell off the "lesser" - and my return would be 
higher or lower, Didn't care.  Among recent titles I used to constantly upgrade 
was the DS Lost in Translation until finally getting one with no dings.

Oh and congrats on your fab UK tour!  Amazing, still rocking concerts for $$$ - 
GLOBALLY.  Can't wait for your book you formerly from San Diego dork.  Say 
hello to a pine tree for me when you get back to Oregon!  -d.

great post Greg...what a story...I bought from theater poster exchange 
in Memphis also..i think the guy  was Bill Luton?
 and most whe i got in were like 3.00 to 6.00 for one sheets.//most were 
folded..they printed many in Cleveland at continental litho and also on 
east coast Gotham ltiho graph /// by the 80-s and late 80s when i got a 
gig as a wild poster for Detroit..I would get boxes of 400 triangle for 
Cannon films and Tri star
I would get paid like 1500.00 a gig to do movie poster and also widow 
cards for Pine w Knob.I did Santanat. Dan Fogleberg. Fishbone..and 
others.. I did huge subway poster for Madonna- TRUE BLUe album...and 
many others..I was able to keep access posters and I use stores this 
trade with other dealers for titles I didn't have
Then in the 90s a large video distribution company contacted me to buy 
video one sheets which sometimes square at your goal when she posters 
and I gathered 100,000 XS posters at 13 pallets 5 foot tall


 very heavy as they were all flat

I became the guy to see for buying volume of anything toys posters pop 
culture memorabilia I bought a bunch of Gumby 1965 doll costumes still 
in the package from a warehouse in downtown Toledo that was a carnival 
supply company they had by close out years ago in the 60s and so I 
bought major Matt mason and a bunch of ideal doll toys and doll clothes
then i would trade with other dealers across the usa for thier warehouse 
find.///I gor Gilber james bond figure..model kits, other toys beatle 
wigs.. and robots like lostin space and also warren Monster magazines 
Famous monsters...

Greg -

You obviously began collecting posters when they had little value and
collecting them was just a hobby -

There's still a great deal of entry-level material thanks to Bruce and
others -

But does anyone think the hobby may have lost something, now that the
game's become a sport of the rich?

I remember going to poster shows back in the 90s and seeing these
"geezers" buying old western posters from the 30s & 40s. "Look at
those poor old bastards!" I would say to my wife. "Ha! Whoops,
there's a 50s horror poster! How much money do we have in the bank?"

I am now officially a geezer. Big time. Oh, my aching back
My preferred genre appears to have stalled a bit price-wise, except
for the delusional eBay sellers who are asking $1200 for stuff like
"The Brain Eaters". Or $24,000+ for that 50-foot woman I used have
thumbtacked on my wall as a kid. Seriously, guys; it ain't gonna
happen. NOBODY IS THAT STUPID! Or that rich...and if they're rich,
they probably didn't get that way by being dopes.
With a few exceptions.

Re: [MOPO] FA: What can I can invest in that has not gone sky high in recent years?

[Greg Douglass]

I bought from Theater Poster Exchange back in the mid-1960s. One sheets were 75 cents, regardless of title. 8 lobby cards a whopping $2.50.

I went to Hollywood with my family on vacation and visited Malcolm Willits at his small store. For ten bucks I bought a one sheet from "The Devil Commands" and two lobbies from "A & C Meet Frankenstein". I floated up to the Cherokee Bookstore where they had a safe full of fresh AIP posters, unfolded. The rest of my allowance disappeared there. (I saved for months for that trip.)

I recently repurchased "The Devil Commands" for 3K (big royalty check). It's framed next to Lugosi's "Invisible Ghost" one sheet (I was playing guitar at a casino and put 20 bucks into a slot machine. It yielded close to $750. I bought it from a Heritage customer as an after-auction buy for...$750.)

We are here for a very short time on this planet. I enjoy every sandwich and my posters make me a happy camper. I'll never be able to afford a Universal classic poster but my "Attack of the Crab Monsters/Not of This Earth" double bill half-sheet (400 clams) takes me back some of the most enjoyable moments of my childhood and THAT, my fellow P.D.s, is beyond financial concerns.

I'm not sure what to do with my stuff. I don't have a massive collection but it's worth a bit of dough. I never, ever once bought with investing in mind. I resonate emotionally to these pieces of paper that drive my wife crazy. My son has no clue as to what these pieces of paper are or what they're worth and I'm sure he doesn't give a rat's ass. I gifted him with a "Deathgasm" one sheet and he thought I was the coolest dad in the world. He loves that stupid movie. It is a thousand-dollar poster to my 41-year-old boy.

I'm looking prices stalling out a bit and as a buyer, I'm stoked. As a seller, I'm fine. I'll still get a decent amount of money for what I have if I sell while I'm alive. It's not like I invested a million bucks in dot-com stocks back in 2000. (Remember THAT debacle?) 

I have a folder with photos of posters and their present worth for my son in case the Reaper decides to visit early. That worth is based on the most recent prices in the Hershenson auction history; that is only because that is the easiest way to gauge actual worth without computing the varous Heritage F/U fees.

I really like Rich. I really like Bruce. I really like the whole damned lot of you. No one else speaks Poster Dork better than MOPO.

My two worthless pennieswhoops, now worth ONE worthless penny in the time it took to write this!

now I can understand saying "the investment in yourself" as clearly we buy posters for personal enjoyment, so the $3000 I paid for a super-sharp Murder My Sweet one sheet in 2001 and have framed at home was an investment in my enjoyment and every day, the cost of the enjoyment goes down a little.

[MOPO] AW: [MOPO] Hans Hillmann's posters

[Wolfgang Jahn]

Hello Dina,

I don't know what R you refer to, but usually it means re-release.

 

Or if the movie is for example from the 50s a different poster might have
been created for this 1st release (from a different designer and
distributor) and then in the 60s the film was re-released with a Hillmann
poster, usually by Filmkunst Kirchner.

So it would be a 1st release with that Hillmann artwork, although the poster
was done for a re-release of the movie.

Hillmann posters usually only had one release poster.

 

I currently have about 180 posters by Hillmann, all should be correctly
dated.

and type in ,Hillmann' at artist.

 

Best regards,

Wolfgang Jahn

Betreff: [MOPO] Hans Hillmann's posters

 

Hello,

 

I am interested in Hillmann's posters. I came across some posters with an R
in front of the year. Do we have many prints of Hillmann's posters. If so,
how can we know whether one is a reprint or an original?

Your help will be invaluable.

Kind regards,

Dina

[MOPO] FA: We have "time-extended bidding" on all our auctions so you can never be SNIPED!

[Bruce Hershenson]

*The single most agonizing feeling in any eBay auction is when you are the
high bidder at the end and you have a much higher hidden maximum, and then
the auction ends and you discover that your very high bid was outbid by a
final second snipe, and you get chance to re-bid (I have literally screamed
"NO" out loud when this happened to me)!So when I started my own auction
site, eMoviePoster.com, I made sure this could NEVER happen to our bidders,
and we have "time-extended bidding" on all our auctions, so you ALWAYS have
five minutes to re-bid when you are outbid!Remember the above when you are
bidding on our 3-part 24th Annual Halloween Auction that begins ending
Tuesday at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/13.html
 (or for the next two full
days, until the Tuesday auctions start to close on the 24th, view ALL of
the 3,185 current auctions in a single gallery
at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html
)!*
