Re: [MOPO] 20 Years of MoPo!
Congrats Scott and Happy Twentieth ! Best, dario. On 2015-02-24 11:09 AM, Scott Burns wrote: Well we made it to 20 after all! Today marks MoPo’s 20^th Anniversary. For the last couple of years, our anniversary has been preceded by a discussion about how little we actually discuss posters on this forum. This year it was John Reid’s February 12^th post, “How MoPo has Changed,” pointing out the lack of discussion or comment on movie posters. In 2014, in time for our 19^th birthday, Helmut posted an analysis of MoPo posts (84% were either auction or for sale posts) and former member Bruce H. mentioned how 2 other poster forums are pretty dead. I find it just an interesting coincidence that this seems to happen just about every February 24^th ! But no matter…MoPo is still chugging along. We’ve survived longer than I ever dreamed (much longer than the majority of Hollywood marriages). On February 24, 1995 the first official MoPo post was distributed via American University’s listserv. There were 11 members at the start, and as is my annual custom, I recognize these MoPo pioneers: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (we lost Cindy in 2008, but her husband Jay is still a member), Jeff Static (AOL’er Static555), Adam Ehrlich and myself. In addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still members. Last year I wondered whether MoPo would make it to 20, or if it even should. Well, here we are and I guess we’ll soldier on…at least until American University decides to shut down their listserv! I do hate to see longtime members leave, (Poster seller Bruce Hershenson and the prolific Tom Martin are 2 examples of people who exited this past year), but that’s the way of Internet forums. Thanks to all of you for keeping this relic of the 20^th century alive for yet another year!

On 2013-12-28 1:44 PM, JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia wrote: Hi Alan I sell through my own website but also on eBay. Bruce is certainly correct in saying that the most important thing about having your own website is getting potential customers to actually look at your site. It takes a lot of work to get your site to appear at the top of search engines with a high page rank but direct marketing is also very important. As an example, I have a very large mailing list and I find that whenever I send out a Newsletter I get lots of orders from my website. One thing I really like about having my own site is that there are no constantly changing rules to put up with eg photo sizes, item specifics, postage polices, return policies, Vero issues etc etc etc. This makes listing on my website much easier and listing on ebay much more cumbersome. Another issue with ebay, of course, is the fees which keep changing and the Free listings that are given out in huge numbers to selected sellers which create an unfair market place for sellers. My website can certainly support itself on its own but there is a great deal of work involved. If I stopped selling on ebay I would be able to survive from website sales but you need to be constantly updating the site and continually working on and tweaking SEO techniques. Despite all of that I have actually increased my presence on ebay and now have two ebay stores and sometimes use a third user id to list other stuff occasionally. I still sell a heck of a lot on ebay but they dont make it as easy as they could or should. For anyone interested in setting up a website, I would recommend David Rew (from this list) da...@kissnet.com.au but whoever you use to set up a website, you must be prepared to do the work in SEO and direct marketing.

Dear Mopos with Websites - Have been thinking of following Bruce's advice and creating my own off-Ebay website to sell (not auction) posters and goodies. How do you mo-pros who sell on your own sites enjoy that digital venue vs. the old Ebay paradigm? Is it more difficult technically (man hours) to use your own site or costly to keep running than you thought it would be? How do you drive eyeballs - Is it tough getting visitors? Do you sell on Ebay and your own site - or strictly your own site? What do you suggest be included or avoided when building a site? Any big surprises or epiphanies you've had in the process of building and running your website that you'd be willing to share? Hope some folks find this a stimulating thread.

Brilliant David! If John is ok with it. I'd like to add (http://www.ozefilm.com) to my link page. Poster research and information on his site is beyond good.

As you know we launched John's website (http://www.ozefilm.com) just in the past week, a wonderful movie poster research and information website, with new articles being added every week. The best thing for John is he now manages almost all the site updates himself thus saving considerable money (and time) on web designer fees. We also built the website for everyone's favourite expert poster restorer, Dario Casadei (http://www.vintagemovieart.ca) and of course many of you will know the international vintage movie poster website (http://www.vintagemovieposters.com.au). But we don't just do poster websites, here's a very lovely BB website launched last week http://www.birchesterang.com.au (news releases and text content by fellow collector and media expert Rick Bayne). If you are in need of a new website (even if it is not about movie posters) or are just wanting to update to your existing site then do feel free to discuss with me. Today a well designed and easy to navigate website is a must, the consumer no longer has patience for websites that doesn't give them the surfing experience they have come to expect, just because you are a small and medium size (or even part time) business is no longer an acceptable excuse. Also, if you use eBay to sell your wares but don't have a back-up retail website perhaps now is a good time to consider it... We provide hosting as part of the package and if you don't own your own domain name we sell domain names too. I am even happy enough just to give advice, generally that's free (I may not always have the answers but I can always find out for you, or failing that I will simply make it up as I go along...;-) ) It's probably cheaper than you think to have a professional looking website, talk to me I am sure we can work a deal.

Re: [MOPO] Question for Members who sell on EBAY
Yikes! Sorry to hear that,Channing. I cringe thinking about selling on eBay like I used to do. It can't be that easy these days with all the loose canons and fee's on top of that. I guess that's why Bruce has Handle more than 100 pieces for me so far this year with no fuss. Yes, I am on a bit of a poster diet after a tube fell on my head. Best to all, dario.

Re: [MOPO] Joe
So sudden. Anyone know what happen?? Although such a mischievous character in the last few years, respect and condolences needs to be observed. After all, there is immediate family in mourning.

One day Jose Carpio (also gone) showed me a Devil With Woman one-sheet that had a huge hole at the top crossfold and it fell right in Dietrich's eye, and it ruined the poster. Jose gave it to Joe, and a month later I saw the finished product, and even knowing what had been done I found it hard to believe it was the same poster! I guarantee there are 100 more posters like it floating in the hobby, and maybe some of the buyers know what was done, but some surely don't. I worked with every restorer, and Joe in his prime was better than anyone overall. The only one who was better in any area was Igor Edelman (also gone), who was a better paint restorer. I know a few people had Joe do everything but the paint restoration, and then give it to Igor to finish. I hope somehow Joe is able to rest in peace now that he's gone, because he never did in life.

Re: [MOPO] Linen-backing versus Paper-backing
*Hi Niel, **You certainly got some great advice from some very well respected MOPO members. **However it could get a bit confusing with all the great info/suggestion/comments regarding how to proceed with your poster. Well here's my thoughts. I think you should Linen back your poster. Although this debate is very personal, that is the way I would go. I find Linen backing way stronger as a foundation for your poster, rather than paper backing. It would be paper backing with an extra layer of protection. Linen backing has actually been around for a very long time and come a long way. Cotton canvas is being used today and we all know how pure and clean cotton is. I can remember removing a very early style of Linen backing a few years ago. It was a WW1 poster that had been backed with military/medical gauze back in those days. Not a pretty sight, but it held that poster together. It is now re backed and hanging nicely in an Irish pub here in Vancouver. In fact here's a few pictures! http://members.shaw.ca/filmposters/ebaylist3/irishcanadianww15.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/filmposters/ebaylist3/irishcanadianww13.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/filmposters/ebaylist3/irishcanadianww11.jpg Linen backing is certainly well accepted with major Conservation and restoration studios and museums. Many years ago I visited a** **Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec** exhibition in Vancouver art Gallery. It was a a loan from France and it contained some of the most spectacular original **Lautrec posters one could imagine, a very valuable collection. Each piece was Linen backed for conservation and restoration purposes. It is said that your poster is from the 30's and German. So pretty brittle and poor I guess? Definitely need a patience hand to get it right. See the paper need time in the baths to expand and release dirt. It also needs time to impregnate the paper with alkaline. This is were your poster is the most vulnerable. End of the day, I appreciated the fact that you are willing to do something to preserve your poster, rather than let it deteriorate to dust. On a side note. Any notion that Linen backing can be mastered in a day or two is not true. Let me explain. Image a poster that is worth $10,000 in horrible condition. It is held together by treads of paper, folds separations, major tears, brittle and dirty. You are about to submerge this old and valuable poster which is not even yours in a bath/s. It is like playing with wet toilet paper. You got to get it out from the bath on to the table using a screen to extract excess water, dirt, folds and mend tears. Add a fine layer of archival paste. Then get it down on Linen, remove screen and no more interaction. Again that takes place wile the paper is in a very vulnerable state!! Then the poster will dry up as perfect as one could expect based on original condition. That takes a lot of experience, possible years and a very very cool head. Cheers, Dario.* Neil Jaworski wrote: hallo MOPOville I have a 90cm x 125cm german film poster from 1930 that needs backing. It's relatively solid, considering its age, but tending to brittle/split/crack along the folds and won't survive without mounting. What is the current thinking about linen versus paper for something like this? Does it matter that it's a european poster? I've seen a couple of references to paper-backing being preferable to linen recently, but am aware that this might not be correct. Does the size of this poster suggest that linen is the best way forward, even if it's going to be displayed immediately upon mounting? also, as there will be some fold-line and other restoration work, would a linen mount provide a better base? So many questions! Anyone have a view on this? Thanks in advance.

Re: [MOPO] Linen-backing versus Paper-backing

Other vice it would have my Web address, e -mail, cell phone, fax #, home phone, address etc etc. I am a collector to. So Niel had a legitimate question that I felt I could help him with. That's all. Cheers! dario. PS: There is really no danger with Cotton Canvas, just the person handling the linen backed poster. If you drop the poster and it have a crease, that can be fixed. Kindly don't blame the poor old cotton, it's just there to its job, LOL))) As far as contraction and expansion there are steps that can be taken when prepping a frame to minimize such thing to happen. Sadly everything in life seems to expand and contract, my waste line, wallet. I'll be darn if my house haven been shifting lately.

On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 3:36 PM, Dario Casadei m...@vintagemovieart.ca mailto:m...@vintagemovieart.ca wrote: *Hi Niel,** Well here's my thoughts. I think you should Linen back your poster. Although this debate is very personal, that is the way I would go. I find Linen backing way stronger as a foundation for your poster, rather than paper backing. It would be paper backing with an extra layer of protection. * This is misleading. The fact that canvas is much stronger than paper is the very thing that makes it dangerous to paper when you glue them together, unless you keep the piece is a perfectly controlled climate, which is very difficult, even for museums. Also, if you accidentally drop the piece while handling it and cause a crease, the poster will suffer, not the canvas, precisely because it's so much stronger. * Linen backing has actually been around for a very long time and come a long way. Cotton canvas is being used today and we all know how pure and clean cotton is. * True, linen-backing has been around for a very long time. That does not make it a good archival solution, though. It's more for convenience than preservation. Linen-backed posters are easier to handle than paper-backed ones, that's why many galleries prefer them. Cotton is very pure, but so what? So is Japanese paper. * I can remember removing a very early style of Linen backing a few years ago. It was a WW1 poster that had been backed with military/medical gauze back in those days. Not a pretty sight, but it held that poster together. It is now re backed and hanging nicely in an Irish pub here in Vancouver. In fact here's a few pictures! http://members.shaw.ca/filmposters/ebaylist3/irishcanadianww15.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/filmposters/ebaylist3/irishcanadianww13.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/filmposters/ebaylist3/irishcanadianww11.jpg* Looks like a masterly job to me. Very well done. * Linen backing is certainly well accepted with major Conservation and restoration studios and museums. Many years ago I visited a** **Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec** exhibition in Vancouver art Gallery. It was a a loan from France and it contained some of the most spectacular original **Lautrec posters one could imagine, a very valuable collection. Each piece was Linen backed for conservation and restoration purposes. * True, linen backing is well accepted in many galleries, museums and conservation studios. In fact I've seen high end galleries linen-back their items. The question is why? The answer, I believe, comes down to two words: MONEY and CONVENIENCE. Galleries and museums do it because it's much easier to handle linen-backed posters than paper-backed ones. And they know that most of their customers won't know the difference because linen-backing has become such an accepted part of the collectors culture. When they linen-back their posters, they are thinking of their bottom line, not whether or not the poster will last into the next century. Yes, some professional conservation studios do linen-backing also, because they are asked to do so and get paid for doing it, even though, I suspect, most of them know that this is not the best method to use. There are exceptions to this... as has been pointed out here, restoring a 6-sheet may require canvas, if only because most paper-backing facilities are not large enough to accommodate such a large piece. This is because, unlike linen-backing, a paper-backed poster does not get stretched on a frame. It must lay flat on a table

Re: [MOPO] The Scandal-plus cut, pressed washed, starched dried....
* Hi Guys,* * I always try to leave some blemishes and leave the paper as natural as possible. NSS bleeds should never be removed! Although very personal, I think a good restoration is an honest restoration which means it is detectable up close and as you move away from the poster to normal viewing distance, it should all come together looking as natural/good as possible. Naturally all of this depends on what you have to work with. I guess this is more important than ever, due to the Universal scandal. Best, dario. * Bruce Hershenson wrote: I personally agree with this. I didn't like the make it look perfect school of restoration even *BEFORE* the Haggard scandal broke. First, because the restorers were in effect hiding their restoration, making it impossible to see exactly what was done (and a long time pro like myself could spot some restoration that most amateurs would never see, creating a fear of restoration among many collectors). Second, because many of these items were *SO *restored that they looked almost like recreations. I *LIKE *the items in my collection to show at least *SOME *signs of age, unless they are in truly mint unrestored condition, because that is part of the joy of owning an original, knowing that it survived all these years.

Yet he did neither of these things and continued to make them until the fraud became public knowledge. So maybe a better analogy is: if you were 100% certain that a person you sold a gun to last week committed murder with that gun, and that they also committed murder with a gun you sold them two weeks ago, would you sell them another gun when they came into your store this week and asked for one? - Original Message - *From:* Todd Feiertag mailto:toddfeier...@msn.com *To:* MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU mailto:MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU *Sent:* Wednesday, May 26, 2010 8:01 PM *Subject:* Re: [MOPO] 3rd Party Grading Comes to Posters /*Virtually everyone in the hobby was fooled...*/ *//* Jim, *I WASN'T FOOLED!!* And there were a lot of other knowledgeable collectors who weren't fooled either.

Even the titles that I have worked on in the past, I cross referenced with my restoration picture archive and not a single poster in this auction has gone through my hands. Having said that, I am sure that one day some of my very few lesser turn outs will be auctioned off. No matter how hard I try, I fail miserably to!

In each case, I e-mailed the consignor, and told them that I could either return the poster to them, or hold it for a special lesser linen auction I would do once I had enough of these. To a man, all of the consignors said That's fine, and that is where these posters came from. Maybe in five more years I will accumulate enough like this for a second such auction! As to WHO did the restoration, I imagine just about EVERY restorer who ever worked on posters are represented here. I would bet that some fair number came from restorers that advertise linenbacking for 10 one-sheets for $300, and then after they have them backed they tell the owner that it only includes minimal restoration, and THESE are often the results. In many cases, the posters can simply be removed from the existing linen, and be properly backed and restored, just as they should have been in the first place. Of course, the many, many restorers on this list should strongly consider bidding on some of these, as they can surely restore some of them and make easy money!

Re: [MOPO] Profiles in History...question
*Hi Diane, Nothing to add except that it is well written and understood. Also sincerely, my post was not to harm or say that what you are doing is wrong and what I am doing is right. I value you as a fellow restorer and friend. Sincerely, dario. * Diane Jeffrey wrote: John - I really understand your question here and concern. Let me try to elaborate a bit more. Window cards are made of a layer of very thin paper that the poster is printed on. This paper is adhered to the card stock, giving it that thickness. The really old window cards are usually pretty beaten up. As I said they have been trimmed, but also very dirty, moldy, and with the paper being acidic, turning brown, faded, bug infestation, etc, etc. The only way to properly treat all of the above problems, is to remove the backing, and treat the poster paper by washing, deacidifying, treating mold etc., just like a one sheet is treated and then backed. You have to treat all of the issues to properly preserve the paper, so that it will survive the years to come. To my knowledge, this is the best way to do this. I know of no way to accomplish this by treating the thick card, there is no assurance that water, chemicals, etc will penetrate the thick card, you would have to leave it in solutions way too long, and the paper would start to disintegrate. Adhering a layer of acid free paper and card stock, to me, does not seem to compromise the integrity of the card, but I suppose that can be debated. If Dario, or anyone else has anything to add, that would be great. We are always looking for the best way to treat and preserve these treasures.

We back it then with a layer of acid free masa paper, same stuff used in linenbacking. A lot of window cards have been trimmed at the top, this then allows us to add the missing paper, making it to size. Card stock is then adhered to the masa, repairs are made, touched up, etc. If you look at my first post about the Dracula, I mentioned the fact that there was a layer of something on the back. To me, it looked like the poster had been backed to card stock, cardboard or something and when it was pulled off, a layer remained, giving it a fuzzy (term I used on NSGE) feel. So we removed what we could on that, washed and linenbacked it. So to answer your question, you are absolutely right, it is possible, and just might be what happened with the Dracula poster.

Re: [MOPO] Vertigo: Q For Dario!
*Hi PJ, I asked for a link as soon as I heard a backer/dealer wanted it sold by another dealer. I took a close look at the large picture and there is web and creases throughout the poster. This is not easy to asses from a picture and _I could be totally wrong._ But there is a chance that this poster went through a bleach bath and things did not go to well, which would explain the wash out of colors and the possibility that the paper got burned in to a pulp stage. That would explain why there is creases and criss cross touch up patterns throughout the poster. To me it looks like the poster and paper is in rough shape. All is well, dario. * pj angel wrote: Dario, Could Dave's Vertigo poster been faded during the cleaning process before LB'ing?

I bought one in 2005 and they want to refund my moolah. kudos Bruce. That is incredible customer service Rich.. Bruce's letter below: *This is Bruce. We recently sold a French one-panel poster that had the distributor logo Cine Poster at the bottom, and after we sold the poster, we were notified by a leading French expert that this was a commercial poster, and not a theater poster. Apparently, this company has been making commercial versions of regular French theater posters for approximately 30 years. Unlike U.S. commercial posters, which are usually a different size and have some other differences from theatrical posters, these French commercial posters appear to be exactly the same as the French theatrical posters, with the sole exception of the Cine Poster logo. So we cancelled that sale. But then it occurred to us that we may well have unknowingly sold other Cine Poster commercial posters in the past, so we spent a GREAT deal of time researching EVERY French poster we EVER sold, and we had to look at every single image, to see if the logo was on it, and we were able to determine that over the past 9 years we sold 42 of these (40 of them were one-panels, and two of them were the medium size French posters). You purchased 1 of those 42 posters from us. The poster you won is (we give the date, the auction number, the title, and the closing price): 6/28/2005 7525607578 BLUES BROTHERS $16.50 Since it did not sell for very much money, we want to offer you one of two options: 1) You can return it to us for a full refund, including shipping. 2) You can keep the poster, and we will give you a partial refund (just think what you would have paid for the poster had you known that it was a commercial poster, and if we agree you are being fair, we will refund you the difference). Remember that the poster looks identical to the theatrical poster (except for the distributor logo Cine Poster at the bottom), and that it was made when the movie was first released (unless we identified as a re-release, and then it was made when the movie was re-released at that time). Of course, we are very sorry this occurred. It was something we did not know, and we are rather surprised that no one e-mailed over the past nine years to give us this information (we will now do all we can to spread this information throughout the hobby). As always, we do now have any time limit on correcting mistakes we made (in this case, we are correcting mistakes that go back as far as 9 years!), and our goal is to always make sure our customers are happy, and to correct every mistake we make in such a way that we turn an unhappy experience into a happy one! Please let us know which of the above two options you would prefer. Thanks very much, and please accept my sincere apology for making this unknowing error.

Re: [MOPO] assessing fading
* I'm not a prognosticator, but I can tell you what I have seen in the last many years. The posters that I am receiving for work is getting worse and worse in terms of condition and I am getting busier all the time. I believe as he hobby grows with more collectors and less posters in nm/mint condition, collectors have to settle with lesser condition paper and of course whatever is out there, that it!. The notion that Linen backed poster will go the same way as restored comics, I don't believe. Comics don't really get displayed wile most poster collectors like there posters up on the wall and of course the should look at least pretty decent hanging. Cheers, dario. * James Richard wrote: Todd, Hmmm... well...OK, then... in that specific case, use of a *small* amount of translucent paint to bring up a small faded area to match the rest of the poster might be considered acceptable restoration... but it would have to be a very small area, about 10% or less of the image area for me to feel comfortable about it. It's just that usually when a poster is faded it is faded all over -- from sun exposure or having been displayed under bright incandescent light for too long. Bringing up the color level across an entire poster... or even 50% or more of the image area... is just going too far for a restoration. At that point you're doing a recreation and actually slipping into forgery. i.e., you're engaging in deception, using technology not available at the date of the poster's issue to artificially make the poster appear to be in better condition than it actually is. You are taking it too far from original state. You are, in fact, *over-painting* the original poster with new artwork. And even if this over-painting is revealed at the time of the original sale, it is certain that it will not be divulged (or even known) in future sales of the same poster. I know it's a fine line between restoration and recreation/forgery -- but the line is there and this hobby-industry better get busy defining some agreed-upon standards which define both sides of that line. Otherwise it will continue to be anything goes, which means more fakes, semi-fakes, and half-fakes entering the market for $10,000... $20,000... $30,000 and more. If the restoration industry does not police itself and lead the way in establishing these hobby-wide standards, they will be the ones who suffer when Bruce's prediction materializes about a widespread backlash where buyers will only be interested in unrestored, untouched material. It has happened in other fields of collecting and it can happen here. The restorers and backers need get together, form a club or guild or whatever and set some standards and start publicizing them.. -- JR Todd Feiertag wrote: JR, You misunderstood my post about the FREAKS poster. I never said the FREAKS Insert was completely painted over. I did say that the translucent paints were used on the poster. Since I had some personal interest in the poster at the time of the auction, from what I understood there wasn't much paint used on the poster to begin with. Actually, the poster was originally in great shape and unfolded, but it did have a slight amount of fading which was expertly corrected, but not by covering the entire poster in paint. Not all colors on a poster will fade and/or will fade evenly and at the same time, so even when translucent paints are used, it would be a rare case where an entire poster would have to be completely painted over. It's a rare case for any poster to have to be completely painted over, not just by translucent paints, but any paints. It is good news say for instance, if only the lettering is faded, such as on Michael's poster (not sure if this is the case) and all it would take is a small amount of paint to make the lettering look much better. I don't see anything wrong with this. It's a lot more pleasing to the eye, and you're not looking at a newly created painting.

This is a really sad day for me. Jaime has done quite a bit of work for me over the past 3 or 4 years and I've considered him a friend. Coincidentally, his mentor was Joe Hernandez. There was a time when I considered Joe the greatest movie poster restorer I'd ever encountered (I probably still believe him to have been). But Joe went on a strange downhill slide of lies and deceit and theft that landed him in jail and banished from the hobby. One would think that Jaime would hopefully have learned from his teacher, Joe and not gone astray himself. Sounds like Jaime may have even surpassed Joe in the magnitude of what he's allegedly done. Yes, it's a very sad day, indeed. Not only for me, but for all of us...for the hobby... .

Re: [MOPO] Some of the speculation is over
*Hi Bruce, I have a hunch that is is a small gang criminals and not that wide spread, just a couple of guys and a restorer and possible a staff or two. Hi John Reid, *Just to stretch things a little. Is it possible that a collector could send a very valuable poster or lobby card to a restorer and end up being sent a fake in return while the restorer keeps the original. From what I can gather the fakes are so good that it is unlikely anyone would be able to tell the difference. * That is a scary though, but not impossible. These day there is so much more involved than just a talent hand. Find yourself a good restorer, establish a loyal trustworthy long term relationship. That is worth just as much or even more than a perfect color match. Best, dario. * Bruce Hershenson wrote: Dario, you bring up an interesting point I had not thought of. What if someone involved in this as a restorer is arrested? Will all the posters in that person's possession be seized as evidence? How long before those posters are released, and what if the person who sent the posters to the restorer does not have a printed signed receipt from the restorer, and the restorer claims the posters as their own property? For that matter, what if an auction house is closed down over this? What will happen to items on consignment at that auction house? These questions are not far-fetched. We all know of several restorers who vanished in the past several years, taking their customers' property with them, and few ever got their posters back or restitution of any kind. And just a few months ago, Mastro Auctions, the number one sports memorabilia auction in the world, was closed in the midst of an FBI investigation into fraud allegations. These are just two of many aftershocks that may be felt from this earthquake. It is reasons like these why this matter is so important. In just three months I *HAD* intended to hold my Winter Mini/Major auction, with mostly linenbacked posters. Even though I have *NEVER* sold a single fraudulent restored poster, and even though I have *NEVER* used the restorer in question, and even though I have *NEVER* had a single consignment from the sellers named thus far, I still must wonder whether the ripples from this scandal won't come back on me. My position is that we all need to find out exactly who was involved in this (my gut feeling is that no more than a dozen dealers, auction houses and restorers combined were involved, and possibly far fewer than that), so that the other 99.9% completely uninvolved rest of the hobby will not be tainted by it in any way. And certainly everyone with any kind of collection needs to care, because if this isn't completely exposed, then the resale value of all posters will surely be affected. If we can determine that this matter was perpetrated by a very few people, and that no one else was involved, then the damage to the hobby will be greatly contained just by those facts alone.

Re: [MOPO] Should restorers sign their work?

If someone asks for a Certificate (mind you it doesn't happen very often) but when it does I have the following to offer. http://members.shaw.ca/filmposters/ebaylist/resto1.gif **http://members.shaw.ca/filmposters/ebaylist/resto2.gif The poster is stamped with Archival ink. **Black Actinic ink for writing and stamping made of an inorganic pigment containing no carbon black or acid. It is chemically stable, will not decompose, will not fade or cause fading, and will not damage paper or photographic images. _The ink is water resistant and permanent. _ Note that the date on the back of the Linen backed poster correspond with the date on the Restoration Certificate. On top of that I always do a before picture, a during pic and a done pic. My work for the most is pretty even, but some times it seems like things turn out like crap and it is not from lack of trying. Sometimes paper just wont agree with anything. The good news is that I am the one man band, so there is no one else to blame but me. I think if it is important to a collector to have a Restoration Certificate, then he/she should have one. No questions asked. Good stuff, dario. * Phil Edwards wrote: Anyone who has spoken at length with backer/restorer studios know that several hands can work on one poster (apart from one-person operations). The quality of the work can vary tremendously depending on what the original was like to start with, to individual problems to be dealt with and the experience of the restorer/s working on the piece. A signature or stamp of any kind on the back of a poster isn't going to indicate quality of work or the specific problems that may have been encountered in carrying out the work. What is useful for people to do is photograph the item before having it linen backed and restored and be able to provide picture/s of it prior to backing and restoration to potential buyers. I have yet to work with one professional backer who has not provided me, as a matter of course, with large high quality images of the posters once they have been washed and mounted on the stretchers so I can decide how much work I or my clients want done on the cosmetic aspect of the restoration - which is another issue for discussion entirely.

One thing that I noticed while walking the floors of Cinevent was what seemed to be a dearth of “young blood” at the show, most obvious in the form of no younger dealers (I think I was the baby at the show and I turned 40 this year) and also in no younger collectors in attendance. I certainly realize that eBay and the internet in general have had a chilling effect on conventions/shows overall, but I was still surprised by what I perceived to be a lack of a younger audience interested in movie paper. When doing comic shows, there would always be the “original dealers” who have been selling since the 60s/70s and are still hauling around merchandise in the same boxes they used in 1967, then there would be the guys who started in the 80s/90s who now have a more advanced/mature inventory and offerings, and then the “young guns” who had recently gotten started and had vast inventories of new “hot” comics. The trend would always be that as time goes on, attrition takes a few out of each level, while some step up to the next and more “young guns” enter and start the cycle over. I really don’t see this happening (at shows) with movie paper. There wasn’t a single dealer at the show set up selling rolls of new Dark Knight or Star Trek posters or whatever the flavor of the month is. I know that some are out there – I see them on eBay and on the boards. Do you guys go to shows at all? Or is it that you find Cinevent full of “older” collectors who don’t’ want posters from any movie made in color? Or is it that it is just so much easier to send an email out to your customer list and let them know you have the new Transformers2 poster that you don’t need to spend the extra money to go to a show and try to add to your clientele? Just curious about all this, as I think it would be great if there was a huge poster show where dealers of all eras were set up and there were enough collectors there to make it worthwhile.

Re: [MOPO] Cat Creeps update
*I don't have a glue, man! haha!* * Seriously, we all have our own techniques how to adhere a poster to linen. One of the big difference that I've noticed in Posterfix's video is what happens after the poster has just been laid down on to the linen and the screen is removed. At that stage, I am done!! There is absolutely no more interaction with the poster, no working out air pockets, folds, glue and other issues. So if you look closely at all the demo videos you can see a whole lot of things going on after the poster is laid down. Again, we all do it a bit differently, but at that stage the poster is extremely fragile. So the less interaction, the better. * *Best, dario. *Bruce Hershenson wrote: Hey, why would you expect a major professional artist to care about how much glue they use?

As I mentioned, I used to know which movie this was supposedly from (but have since forgotten - and there were about a billion early film versions of the Passion Play). If I had to guess, I'd say the film's probably the 1898 short version (not the 1898 Edison version, the foreign one - which would explain the lack of credits, etc...), but the poster's probably later (teens or twenties, perhaps for some kind of rural 4-walling or roadshow). In any case, far too many of them have survived for it to be 110 years old (I even have one in my collection).

I'm sure most of you are sick of hearing about these bootlegs.but here is some information some of you may appreciate. We recently acquired 600 (2 original undisturbed rolls of 300) STAR WARS Style A 77/21-0 first printing bootlegs from a dealer who purchased them direct from the source (J. Seymour) *back in 1989*. As soon as she realized she was burned and that they weren't real, she put them in a closet and tried to forget about them. She realized she should have known better, that it was too good to be true. She sent them to us in January 2009. They are mostly all in Near Mint to Mint unused condition. We are offering them *FREE* to anyone who requests one. We have stamped the back of each one a few times with a 1/2 x 2 permanent ink stamp that says: *THIS IS NOT AN ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTER*. This will make it extremely difficult for anyone to mistake them for originals (or to possibly try and pass them off as such) at some time in the future. If some idiot tries to linen back one to hide the stamps, I would expect (and hope) that the linen backer will be honest and do the right thing and NOT do it. Again, we are offering these *FREE* to anyone who requests one. *One per person* *while supplies last*. All we ask is that you pay $9.95 for shipping. We ship in a high quality plastic tube by Priority mail. If you'd like one of these original bootlegs please just email us and we will send you a paypal invoice. *We will also include one for free to anyone who orders a rolled poster from our store or to anyone who wins one of our current ebay auctions *(you must request it though when ordering and it must be a rolled poster that you win). Over the years we have auctioned this bootleg (correctly described as a bootleg) on ebay at no reserve 3 or 4 times with prices ranging from $30.00 to $80.00. These are THE SAME EXACT posters currently being sold by others on ebay (wrongly described as originals) for over $100.00. If any of you crazy skeptics think we are doing this to make money.please do the math$2.00 for a tube, $6.00 for postage, $1.00 for my employee labor for packaging time, $.85 to paypal. _Why are we doing this?_ 1. It would be silly to destroy them (we get requests for them all the time). We did actually consider burning them and filming the video for our website and youtube (wouldn't that be neat!). 2. It is an extremely high quality rolled one sheet.just as nice as the originalin every way. 3. It is a much more affordable alternative (*FREE!*) compared to buying an original

The poster is not faded at all, it looks exactly like the picture in our listing. If it was faded it would have said so in Heritage's description. The picture of it in their printed catalog is more accurate than their online photo. The guys at Poster Mountain did the restoration and it looks spectacular.

Re: [MOPO] Oscars
*I thought this was the best presentation in a very long time. I was torn between Penn and Rourke, but at the end of the day, Penn deserved the Oscar. Reason is, Rourke was pretty much himself, while Penn had to get in to character. Naturally, I could be wrong, but that's how it felt to me watching these two great movies.

No Channing, Heath Ledger winning best supporting actor is one of the biggest loads of crap from an awards ceremony known for big loads of crap! It must mark the very first time in Academy history where an actor has won top honours for portraying a character that made no sense and had absolutely no motivation - but, hey, at least he did it in ridiculously poor makeup while babbling incoherently... The Academy has some explaining to do for this one... Here's a simple test...

My only complaint would be the obituaries which I was unable to read even on a 37 HD flatscreen screen. I thought it moved petty fast, Hugh Jackman was personable and charming, and the awards were uniformly well selected. I do wonder, however, if I am the only one who was underwhelmed by Heath Ledger as The Joker and feel his award was strictly a sympathy vote (I didn't even like the movie in the first place). As to SLUMDOG, I think it was probably the best film. Past years winners like DRIVING MISS DAISY, RAIN MAN, FOREST GUMP -- to name a few, really didn't deserve the award, in my opinion, but SLUMDOG was an outstanding, original film and I'm glad to see the Oscars award Best Picture to a really original, moving, well-put together film.

[MOPO] Attack of the 50 foot ape.
*The seller put up a King Kong half sheet, stating un restored Please check the picture show the NSS Disclaimer bottom right corner. To my eye it looks like a poorly masked off disclaimer with masking tape prior to border work. It should have been masked of with Liquid Frisket to create a more exact contour to the fine print and that would have resulted in much better restoration work. In conclusion, these listings are a bit sketchy. So please tread with caution if you are going to bid on the Attack of the 50 foot woman.

Re: [MOPO] ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN POSTER
*Hi Gary, My first though was that I was looking at a re print due to the washed out colors. Something does not seem right with that poster. I don't know if it is a bleached lookfrom the flash photography, but I don't think so. Looking at the detail in colors it appears to be washed out. I looked at Chris's video but it is to blurry and quick for me to see. Who know, I'm getting a bit old and slow. If it is real, it would still be a steal at 1500 range. I don't smoke, but getting the smoke back in to the poster is an easy fix. Cheers. dario. He only calls it a one sheet ask for dimensions! can you imaging if it is a linen backed repro!!

Looks to me like the poster had at least the bottom border trimmed (no NSS info, or any Allied Artists copyright info, only a poorly stenciled printed in USA at the bottom right), it is also missing the black printer's alignment marks at each of the corners. It was then over-bleached, removing most of the natural colors. As for the missing smoke from the car - total hogwash! Take a close look at the hood of the car - you can see the small whiff of smoke rising from the hood, then across her arm where it abruptly stops. What happened? Some lunkhead restorer decided it was a defect and painted yellow over the rest of the smoke erasing it from the background. Printed in USA but made for the foreign market (which foreign market was releasing this clunker?) - I call BS on that. Poorly restored? Absolutely The work of Chris Cloutier? Possibly Take a look at the 50ft Woman one-sheet shown at the end of the video, and see if you can see the smoke from the car, the black printing alignment marks in the corners, or any NSS/copyright info on this poster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6n4UPQ8nK8feature=channel_page -Original Message- From: MoPo List [mailto:mop...@sol03.american.edu] On Behalf Of gary simmons Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 8:48 AM To: mop...@sol03.american.edu Subject: Re: [MOPO] ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN POSTER http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:ITitem= 270334757877 Hello experts, I saw this poster on ebay and was curious if anyone if familiar with it?

Re: [MOPO] WAY OT: What drove Bernie Madoff
*A lot of decent people lost a lot of money, but even more important, they lost faith. I think? Michael Douglas could do this role pretty good. Best of the holidays to all!! dario.* Bruce Hershenson wrote: I looked at the cnn site just now and they have an article entitled, What drove Bernie Madoff. It tells about what a brilliant man he is, and it concludes Several people who know Madoff say his saga reminds them of a Greek tragedy. Just like Icarus who tried to fly too close to the sun, Bernie Madoff destroyed himself in his unending quest for success and respect. Says Madoff's defense attorney, 'this is a tragedy.' This really offends me. He was a crook who has done untold damage to tens of thousands of people's lives (counting the many charitable groups he ruined) and he did so in the worst possible way, by being a confidence man who won their trust and then betraying it. The people who were swindled have some responsibility, because they forgot the old adage if something seems too good to be true, it probably is, but their doubts were overcome by their basic greed in wanting those great returns, and in their belief that no one could be dishonest and operate on that scale. But this crook is the lowest of the low, and deserves no sympathy and is not tragic by any measure. What do YOU think? Bruce P.S. If one thinks this has nothing to do with movie posters, it seems an absolute certainty there will be one or more movies made about this fraud, and that opens the question of what title they will choose (maybe The Death of Icarus?) and who will be chosen to play the lead role!

Here's how I described him in my e-mail club earlier today: I have very sad news to report: Those of you who have not been in the hobby for all that long may not recognize the name, but anyone who was an active movie poster collector (or dealer) in the 1980s or 1990s was *VERY* well aware of the name of the number one dealer in the hobby, Jose Carpio, and I am very sad to report that he has just passed away. Sometime in the early 1980s (I don't know exactly when), Jose opened the very first gallery of movie posters, called *Cinemonde* (after the French magazine) in San Francisco, California. Prior to that time, movie poster shops were a lot like comic book shops, with huge stacks of movie posters in boxes, with a small number propped up against walls in bags on boards. Jose envisioned a true gallery with a limited number of fine linenbacked movie posters displayed on the walls, in a classy setting, and that is what Cinemonde was. He also issued full-color catalogs a couple of times a year, and he took out ads in mass market upscale magazines (and these too were firsts in the hobby), and he quickly developed a clientele of wealthy collectors (many celebrities) who did not have the time to seek out posters they wanted, and who used Jose to find them for them. In the late 1980s, Jose was *THE* man to see if you were buying or selling high quality movie posters, and there were few high priced transactions he wasn't involved in, assisting either the buyer or seller or both! In 1990, when I came up with the idea of the first auction of solely movie posters by a major auction house (Christie's), Jose enthusiastically helped me assemble it, consigning from his own inventory, and also calling on many top collectors and dealers for me, asking that they too get behind this and support it, because he was sure it was good for the hobby and would help take it to a new level. In 1990, I took a trip to London and Paris with Jose, and he introduced me to some of the top English and French dealers (some of whom, like Tony Nourmand and Stanislas Choko are still among the very top dealers!). But the trip wasn't all posters. I took a trip to the famed Saville Row with Jose (where he bought custom suits!) and I got a Humphrey Bogart-like fedora I still have, and we went out to dinner with Stan Choko at an excellent French restaurant (we wanted to go to a four star restaurant, but Stan told us that would be a year wait, and so we ended up at a better no star restaurant, and it was still one of the best meals I ever had!). After I had successes with my first three Christie's auctions, Jose approached Sotheby's and did the same with them, and had a long series of very successful auctions with them (equaling the ones I did), thus capping an extremely successful career in the hobby with even more success in yet another area. At some point in the late 1990s Jose semi-retired, partnering in a second Cinemonde in Nashville, and I heard later he had retired to Maine, and I lost touch with him. I just received the news that he passed away (apparently from natural causes, but I have no further information). I know that for years he had wanted to do a full-color coffee table book about the very finest movie posters and add to it stories taken from his long career, but I guess that will not happen now, but that is about the only thing Jose *DIDN'T* manage to do in this hobby over the years, and we who are in the hobby are the losers for it, for it would have been a sensational book! Jose was a true innovator and trailblazer, and a huge number of the foremost dealers in this hobby were proteges of his in one way or another, and he helped them just as kindly and as unselfishly as he helped me way back when. If there is ever a movie poster Hall of Fame, surely Jose will be one of the first two people initiated (the only person I feel is in his class is Richard Allen, author of the great Reel Art and collector of movie posters for well over 50 years, but these are the two giants of the hobby, and there is no close third choice!). At the end of a person's life one looks back on what one has accomplished over that time, and how much of a mark one made on this world. Jose completely created the high end of the movie poster hobby, and it is directly because of his efforts that there are major movie poster auctions and fine movie poster galleries. I would say that
Re: [MOPO] Is tape on the back restoration?
*Hi Bruce et All, Tape is definitely not restoration and Sean's listing was correct stating *It is completely unrestored *As well as pointing out the two tape bits which is considered a defect.* *P 90 Archival tape is great to keep tears from extending and perfectly safe to use, still I would not call it restoration. * *Us restorers hate tape! It must be removed prior to backing a poster, you can't back a poster with tape on the back. It can be a very sticky situation and further damage can accure before all tape and residue has been removed. Michael calls linen backing it, hiding a tear, I call it conserve and restore a Vintage Movie poster from sustain any further damage. I can't help to feel a bit sour, listening to Michale's unrepentant and anal views about Conservation and Restoration, week in week out! _As a temporary caretaker, it is your responsibility to take good care of your collection, to make sure it will not deteriorate. Posters were never printed on quality paper since they were ment to be trown away after use._ I can't speak for Bruce but when I read *As to the poster's condition, it was really not too bad, and could be easily corrected through linenbacking (although as we have all learned, that is to be avoided at all costs!). *I said Ha ha!! cheeky, Yes, we are reminded every week how bad it is!! and if you are a dealer and have a poster backed or in your inventory, most likely you are up to no good. I would feel very insulted if I was a dealer. Seriously, Shame on you, Dude. sincerely, dario. * Bruce Hershenson wrote: I was perusing Sean's fine listings Sunday, and I placed a bunch of bids, but lost them all (shouldn't I have won some since the economy is down?).

This might have simply been a mistake on Sean's part (easy to make when selling so much), but I wondered if he (and the rest of you) possibly don't consider clear tape on the back of a card (which may well have been put there decades ago) to be restoration.

Does it matter if it is brown paper tape, which was not put for any restoration purpose (many exchanges and theaters used to turn four cards of a lobby set in one direction and four in the other direction and then use paper tape to hold all eight together, so that two cards would each have two pieces of brown paper tape on the back). And most importantly of all, does size matter (does it matter if the tape is say, 6 inches or 9 inches in length)?

Re: [MOPO] Is tape on the back restoration?
*Hi David, You point out that you wish you could keep the folds. When the poster is mounted and completely dry on the strecher bar. Prior to any work, the folds are very visible but flush. One can stop right there. That would be more know as an european style of Linen Backing. But Ouch! no folding the Linen, ok LOL))) Best, dario. * David Kuspa wrote: I use archival, acid-free tape for repairs of tears, fold splits and crossfold holes. (Lineco Document Repair Tape) It's thin, matte tissue paper with adhesive, so it's practically invisible and removable should you need to eventually have the poster linen-backed. I apply the tape to prevent further damage and to improve its appearance from the front. If you have say, a 1 inch tear in the border at the end of a fold line, without a repair to reinforce the border, it's too easy to accidentally tear the fold line even further into the art during normal handling. Tape applied front or back (old or archival) should be disclosed in a sale. Especially the old tapes, because they're full of acid and even though they may not be bleeding through to the front today, there's a good chance they will in future. I think the length and amount of applied tape is also important to disclose, but a rough estimate should provide enough information to the buyer. Over the years, I've received a few posters where every fold line was completely covered in tape on the back, and this wasn't disclosed by the seller--needless to say, I was very disappointed. BTW, I would rather own an unrestored, unbacked poster that had archival tape on the back (even relatively large amounts) than a completely flat, linen-backed poster with no restoration. I'm one of those who prefers the foldlines, since for posters pre-70s, this is part of their true character and more accurately preserves how they were displayed in theaters back then. Now, if the linen-backers could de-acidify and back posters, then fold the linen to bring the fold lines back, I would consider that option! -_David on 7/16/08 4:51 AM, Bruce Hershenson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was perusing Sean's fine listings Sunday, and I placed a bunch of bids, but lost them all (shouldn't I have won some since the economy is down?).

Oh pooh! Michael if you can't substantiate then ..damn I can't think of a word that rhymes. (And really all I want to talk about is THE DARK KNIGHT) BUT I NEED TO END THIS HERE (SCROLL TO DARK KNIGHT IF THE FOLLOWING CAUSES INFLAMATION) Michael's original posting *Ron, your comment attests to the fact that UNBACKED, UNRESTORED is better.* *moreover, why back something due to minor flaws. backed posters are always suspect. Remember.wjen you buy INBACKED, UNRESTORED, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GETTING, AND THEY ARE WORTH A PREMIUM michael* My sage and intelligent rebuttal - *Is there a limit to the number of moronic statements a Mopo member can make in a week*? Michael YOU WIMP I know you are capable (besides proper conjugation, punctuation, subject and predicate) of something clever but VICTIMIZED? That's so *Jesse Jackson*! You could have come back with (and I offer these free of charge, I am just that kind of guy) 1. Well I don't know how many posts Freeman, but you just used one! 2. Well gee Freeman show me a moronic statement, bitch! 3. Oh you tink you're so smart cuz you can spel. 4. I will not dignify that with an answer because I look stupid already 5. Who the Hell do you think you are..Claude LItton? I've read his posts and you sir are no Claude Litton! 6. That's my opinion and say what you want but that's MY opinion. (Of course I never pay a premium for pristine as everyone knows . :) QUESTION? Were you paper backed at an early age? Were you forced to stretch canvas in a windowless basement in Idaho? Did your Mom actually say to you Oh honey I wouldn't change a thing! Your constant demonizing of linen backing said in absolutes I am finally calling you on. NOTHING PERSONAL I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE ON MOPO..I WISH OTHERS WOULD CHIME IN. BUT AS A FRIEND DUDE YOU'VE BECOME CURRY. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. First It is not a fact unrestored and unbacked is better. There are countless rare one sheets, but more so French and Italian masterpieces of printing that require deacidification and backing to keep the inks from structurally eating the actual paper poster is printed on especially those pre-1960. Michael just throw out a number - of titles that represents. Forget it you'll hurt yourself. Its 11,612 potential posters give or take I think maybe. Second Linen backed posters are not even slightly suspect because anyone can determine what has been done. YOU DISPARAGE THE PROFESSIONALISM, ARTISTRY AND INTERGRTY OF THOSE GIFTED STEWARDS OF VINTAGE PAPER with such an egregious insult as well as dealers WHO INVEST WITH THEIR COLD HARD CASH TO PRESENT A POSTER AT ITS BEST DETERMINING EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND TO WHAT DEGREE and REVEAL HONESTLY AS BEST THEY CAN AT TIME OF SALE, TRADE OR CONSIGNMENT. Michael I PROMISE YOU, MOST sellers are one with Angels bringing joy, happiness, and clever witticisms and bon mots of knowledge and expertise with enthusiasm and energy to collectors far and wide mostly far lately (Thank you Europe!). . So Michael get yourself two things no, * three* things. ONE a hand held black light for card stocks and TWO single halogen work lamp for posters. The veil is lifted, clarity can be yours! You can see with black-light the touch ups of even the most discreet and professional air brushing on card stock or other papers too opaque to have light pass through..With the halogen turn the poster facing the bulb and read the shadows that magically appear through the linen those shadows tell you touch ups, paper replacement, border repairs and sometime a phone number for Althea the Concession Girl who brings new meaning to the question extra butter?
