Vitriolic?  I prefer the word active!
 
What do you mean "These aren't hidden" ??
 
This entire discussion started because no one could determine what the Seller's 
percentage actually was!

Re: [MOPO] Heritage fees

[EVAN ZWEIFEL]

"IF you have a 20% commission rate"?
 
So, are you telling us that the commission rate IS 20% or are telling us that 
the commission rate varies by consigner?  Or are you saying something else?
 
I am pretty sure we all understand the concepts here.  We were just looking for 
actual numbers. 
 
Seems like "If" your commission rate is 20%, then if the buyer pays $50 for the 
poster, you will get $16.80 (house takes 66%).  And if the buyer pays $30, you 
will get $0.80 (house takes 98%).
 
And since its difficult to mail items (even in bulk) for less that $1 per item, 
it means that you would save money by throwing low value posters away rather 
than mail them to an auction house!

Re: [MOPO] HA fees

[EVAN ZWEIFEL]

When you say "a $50 sale", do you mean a Bid of $50 (for a total of $79 with 
BP) or do you mean a Bid of $21 (for a total of $50 with BP)?
 
I would also like to know the answer to Peter's question. 
 
Thanks,

[MOPO] Posters found in the strangest places

[EVAN ZWEIFEL]

The other day, I visited the Music House Museum in Williamsburg Michigan and I 
have to say It was really great -- and you should go, if you find your self in 
the Traverse City area! They specialize in musical instruments which are 
controlled by various technologies (piano rolls, punched metal disks, cylinder) 
and during the tour they demonstrate some amazing restored machines.

Additionally, they have a working vintage Wurlitzer theater organ with the 
pipes and specialty ranks to support silent theater performances, which 
apparently they still show during the busy season. The internals of the ranks 
are all in the open for closer inspection.

Hidden in the corner there is an original "Tillie the Toiler" silent 1-sheet, 
which I really didn't expect to see. And, I suspect that it is quite rare. It 
was trimmed, btw, in case you are wondering.

I was wondering if others have similar stories about stumbling on very rare 
posters in strange places.

Evan (27 years and still here!)

[MOPO] Bulk standee lots in eMoviePoster.com auctions

[Evan Zweifel]

There are a couple of standees that I am interested in in Sunday’s bulk 
auctions at eMoviePoster.com.

However, I am not going to bid on these lots as they contain mostly items that 
I am not interested in.

If anyone here buys one of these lots and are interested breaking it up, send 
me an email and I will make you an offer on the titles that would actually fit 
nicely into my collection.

Thanks,

Evan

Re: [MOPO] Increase in minimum buyer's premium at HA

Tbh, I am not sure if I am interested in why they changed it. They can certainly run their business as they see fit (and no doubt they will).I was just wondering if was going to change your bidding strategy for that particular site.Myself, I am unlikely to pay $29 premium for a $15 poster (and let's be honest a vast majority of movie paper is worth less than $15).  EvanOn Oct 21, 2021 8:04 AM, Dale Dilts  wrote:www.ebay.com

Re: [MOPO] First Poster Stories

[EVAN ZWEIFEL]

One of my first "big" poster purchases was "State of the Union" with Katherine 
Hepburn and Spencer Tracy (it was actually a trade).  My wife and I are big 
fans of theirs, and I have a completist mentality when it comes series of 
things (they made 9 films together).  For some reason I tend to follow this 
title on eMovieposter and Heritage when it comes up for auction (to get a 
general feel for the market).  

It sold yesterday for $0.85 (that was the consignor take, the buyer of course 
paid considerably more), which means, assuming the seller mailed the poster to 
Texas, the seller would have been better off just throwing it away!

Re: [MOPO] Dave - Update with further info - Need help testing links

[Evan Zweifel]

So, this is the general population.

Personally, I don’t enjoy searching eBay using my phone.  I also read my email. 
 And I collect US poster from before 1960.

However, I suspect you would get a completely different profile from the 
younger set.

Looking at the last 30 days, I can see outlet traffic is split roughly 50% 
mobile, 40% desktop, 10% tablet.

I’m not surprised by that.

  Thank you, David. That’s very useful information. And thanks to everyone else 
who tested the links.

   

  Yes, it seems the links work well on desktops and laptops but not smartphones 
and tablets.

   

  Given that most online buying these days is done on mobile devices, it does 
concern me that my eBay listings might not be visible to most buyers. Of 
course, it’s possible that links to individual listings work fine on mobile and 
it’s just the longer URL for the search results within my listings (key word 
“Halloween” in this case) that won’t work on Android devices.

   

  All the same, there has been a precipitous drop in traffic to my listings 
over the last 18 months or so and, with most people now browsing on their 
mobiles, this may at least partly explain that drop (market and demographic 
changes, also a factor, aside).

   

  Because, let’s face it, I may not have much but I like to think it’s decent 
stuff at decent prices, which should at least attract browsers, if not buyers, 
all things being equal. ;)

   

  Thanks again, everyone. I knew MoPo wouldn’t let me down.

This is only the weeklies at this time. I’m sorry if an inconvenience to you

[MOPO] [FS] A list of posters for your enjoyment

[Evan Zweifel]

Fellow Collectors!

I have recently changed directions in my collecting interests.  And having been 
amassing posters for more than 20 years, I need to free up some space.

So, in the spirit of Movie Collectors World, I am attaching a list of posters 
that  need to be re-homed!

I am guessing at prices (using online databases and my feeble memory).  But, 
TBH, these are negotiable as always.  Please make an offer, I am very flexible. 
 Really!

If you are interested in anything, let me know, and I will be more specific 
about the condition and send a photo!

If you buy 5, shipping is free (in the US), otherwise it's $10 (US) or actual 
cost elsewhere.

Thanks, Evan

[MOPO] Thinning out the collection

[Evan Zweifel]

I have to admit that its been a long time since I have attempted to sell 
anything on eBay.  However, I decided to test the waters with some items that I 
have picked up over the years and are now just sitting in boxes.  Some of these 
close tonight.  

https://www.ebay.com/sch/yeowvan/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

If for some reason these fail to sell, and you are interested, let me know, I 
will make you a great deal.  Also, I have a few hundred more items that I would 
be more than willing to sell at very reasonable prices (really), let me know 
what you are looking for.

  I'm not sure if that is or isn't correct:


  Additional Fees:

  VAT on hammer: 20.00% 

  *Includes buyer's premium and online commission. For more information please 

  25.2% says includeds VAT
  but then VAT is also stated..

  not sure, but you are probably correct

Re: [MOPO] Heritage charges

[Evan Zweifel]

The problem with having both buyers premiums and seller fees is that it becomes 
very difficult to determine what the “value” of a poster is.  I think that you 
are talking about the HA hammer price.  In your example, the $10 hammer results 
in the buying paying 29.50 and the seller receives $8.50 – it seems, to me that 
the “value” of the poster is 29.50 and the seller is losing 61% in the 
transaction (emovieposter would take 50% btw).  I guess this is why they call 
this collecting, and not investing!

It seems that in your example, if the buyers were willing to pay 29.50 for the 
10 posters, then by bulking them together, the would be willing to to pay 
295.00 for the lot!  At which the seller would receive considerably more than 
$100!

But, since a VAST majority of the items in the weekly sell for less that $100 
(see for yourself at 
http://movieposters.ha.com/c/print-prices-realized.zx?saleNo=161624=homepage_printerversion_archive),
 I suspect that their strategy is to list anything that will get a bid and hope 
some better pieces get consigned.  

But perhaps that’s just the cynic in me.

Pardon my cynicism but listing 10 posters in bulk with a value, say, of $10 
each, might raise a bid of $100, which would give HA $19.50 in buyers' premium. 
Listing them separately and attracting bids of around $10 each gives HA buyers' 
premium of $190. So is the decision really to benefit the buyers?

  Sorry for the delay in responding. I’ve been preparing my July catalog so my 
time on MOPO has been reduced. I think that many of the answers that you’ve 
read from some MOPO members here are indeed correct. Heritage made the decision 
to raise its minimum Buyer’s Premium on lots selling below $100 which, by the 
way, I argued against, but which the executive team believed necessary due to 
our expense structure.



  Frankly, to believe that we have little expense involved in selling these 
posters other than just “listing material” is a bit naïve. Heritage employs 
roughly 500 personnel in over ten cities with showrooms and overhead in the US, 
Europe and Asia. We have 30 web programmers and IT staff alone, along with 
accounting, photography, legal, marketing, etc. Saying this was done out of 
greed is again unfair; Heritage did it so that it could continue to offer lower 
priced lots singly rather than in bulk without losing money on them.



  Posters selling for less than $100 are limited in each weekly, but some of 
our buyers really appreciate being able to buy just the posters they want 
rather than having to buy groups. And I think nearly all of our consignors 
prefer to sell their posters either singly or in the smallest groups possible. 
Of course any consignors who prefer not having the $19 come into play with 
their lots can ask us to group-lot any posters we think might sell for less 
than $100, and we will happily do so. 



  The buyer’s premium, as stated well by David, is indeed prominently displayed 
whenever you wish to make a bid or to raise a bid. There is nothing deceptive 
nor mysterious about that, in my opinion, and as stated so well by Rich, it is 
the buyer’s choice to accept or not.



  I don’t believe I have more to say concerning this and for those who feel it 
is an undue increase or financial burden to them, I regret that, because I do 
care very much about my buyers (and consignors).



  But again, the bottom line is that it was the only way Heritage management 
could justify our continuing to offer posters valued under $100, without 
automatically auctioning them in bulk lots that would bring at least $100 
hammer per lot.

  exactely Tommy ,  it's like they're taking some insurance but it gets paid by 
the  buyer 

  so if others bid besides you and it goes just over what heritage fixes then 
you'll be paying less then winning the poster just under that fixed line and 
getting taxed 19$ ?

  If Bruce can run auctions the way he does with everything starting at 1$  and 
continually keep his business growing then i think the only word here with this 
19$ policy is greed , i guess heritage suffers from the ebay syndrome , keep on 
pushing to see how far it bends without snapping in your face

Is there any way to restrict the poster listing by decade or genre or origin or

It’s a little difficult to use as it stands today, and if you get a few

Re: [MOPO] Basil Rathbone 1939 linenbacked Your advice please!

[Evan Zweifel]

Certainly you aren't suggesting that by simply linen backing a poster the 
value of the poster has increased?


I was merely offering an opinion that perhaps the market value for past 
stars has decreased significantly.


I don't think I was going out on a limb there.

As for values of posters, retail or auction, since only a very small 
minority of the members of the list have retail stores (are there more than 
10 in the entire USA?), and only a few more even have web sites, I suspect 
that closest measure of true value must be derived from auctions.


Certainly any informed buyer will check the auction results before making a 
purchase (I know I would).

Good condition usually means it looks like garbage in a frame.  The poster
in question was linen-backed, which costs approximately $200 these days.  I
reiterate that the price he was asking was not excessive.  Granted you can
find bargains one week at Heritage's and Bruce's auctions that the following

If that is all that you have ever sold (236 records out of 1 million sales), I

It is called a half subway, and measures 29 1/2 x 45 1/2 or so. Full subway 
posters measure 45 x 60.

In the 1970s and 1980s, studios were creating subway posters for many 
releases, which were 45 x 60 horizontally-shaped posters that were glued up 
on walls all over New York City (hence the name subway poster). They also 
made these smaller subway posters which measure approximately half the size 
of a regular subway poster (usually around 29 x 45), and look like a 
one-sheet, only bigger, but they have information about one or more specific 
New York theaters then-currently showing that movie.

Re: [MOPO] buying Lesser Quality Condition posters

[Evan Zweifel]

I have several posters that I have purchased in lesser (needs restoration) 
condition.  I always had the intention to restore them, but then I discovered 
that the cost far exceeded the value of the resulting poster.  I almost always 
regret the purchase.  

Currently they sit in a box; eventually I will I will try to sell them on eBay. 
 I kind of feel sorry for them, just waiting in a box, destined to never be put 
in a frame on the wall, lonely, sad...

i added to my Want List about two years ago WOMAN IN THE WINDOW.

can't seem to get a poster.  i have a spot on my wall for the one sheet, and 
now it is on ebay:

  
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351019310905?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1988wt_960

honest seller who describes it as poor condition.

this title in good condition would sell for $500+ for the one sheet.  this ebay 
item will fetch about 90.00.


how many of you buy lesser condition items ?  that's really the 
discussion,,,

anyone have anything to sell to me on this?  [posters only]

Re: [MOPO] Collecting interests

[Evan Zweifel]

I think that you are very much mistaken; A vast majority (myself included) of 
the people on this list would love see a picture of a 1935 film-noir 1 sheet.  

Especially one so rare as to not exist on movieposterdb.com, emovieposter.com 
or ha.com.

imgur.com is the easiest free image sharing site that I have ever used.  If you 
want to share it with the group you can always upload it there and post the URL 
(imgur will give you one when upload) in a message.

Good luck,

Subject: [MOPO] Collecting interests

I have mostly been lurking on the Mopo site. I would like to share my 
collecting interests with the other members but have not been very successful 
in posting photos to the web. The problem is that if you talk about a favorite 
poster for example Florentine Dagger one sheet which is still a favorite of 
mine after owning it for 25 years, very few people have seen it and so it is 
not likely to stimulate much interest or discussion. Allmovie posters has a 
thread where you can share your collection but they are heavily into post 1960 
posters of monsters/scantily clad women and I am interested in 20s, 30s, and 
40s crime, detective, mystery and film noir genres.

I do attend Cinefest, Cinevent and Cinecon and bring an album of my posters 
with me to share with the collectors and dealers there. I find being able to 
discuss the art work, not the value of the posters, and to comment back and 
forth about them takes away some of the negative aspects such as the tendency 
for things to turn into a bragging match. In addition I am genuinely interested 
in what the other guy collects and am always eager to see what he has in his 
collection.

I remain limited in ability to post photos to sites and has limited what I can 
share. I have never had any training on the computer except for specific 
programs that were used at work, so everything I can do I pretty much learned 
myself. I am not any good at reading the manuals to figure out how to do 
something and I also find that just being told do this and then hit that key 
just doesn't work for me. Unfortunately when it comes to computers I just have 
to be shown in person how to do something. The library has free classes but 
they only cover things like email for people who have never used a computer. 
Maybe others can share their collecting interests on Mopo, it would certainly 
stimulate more discussion.

Tommy,
I was given very solid advice by a sage elder of the business when first 
starting, Kirby McDaniel.  He always recommended even when the snipe services 
or extended bidding time software came into play that you bid exactly what you 
are willing to pay (plus commission if it exists).  That way you stay on budget 
and if you lose it, just like a city bus another will come  again shortly.

Of course the push back to that is some people still think placing a reserve 
might tempt or engage said operator/owner  of the auction to raise the price to 
meet the dollars one is willing to pay based on the reserve.   I simply don't 
think that happens. It's illegal and I doubt seriously anyone  would risk their 
reputation and legitimacy for and extra  $75 or so dollars.

 Once again this weekend I was frustrated at being narrowly beaten on a couple 
 of posters at auction, and had I been able to bid live at or near the closing 
 time maybe I could have won them. The fact is, though, that many auctions are 
 based in USA and the closing times are 3 or 4 in the morning in the UK (and 
 within an hour of that elsewhere in Europe), so who can stay up for that? 
 When I have raised this matter in the past I have been told to make sure to 
 bid my maximum amount, but we all know that if you appear to be within 5 or 
 10 dollars of winning then you would very often increase that amount. 
 Furthermore, if you are bidding on several posters you would have an overall 
 budget, and if losing out on some then you would feel able to bid more on 
 others, or even start bidding on one or two from your watched list. I can 
 appreciate that probably the biggest proportion of bidders are in USA, so on 
 weekdays I can understand why timings should be in the evening, but on a 
 Sunday!
  surely it is possible to have an earlier closing time. To his credit, Bruce 
does, so why can't the others?

[MOPO] Cleaning out the bookshelf -- auction catalogs and price guides

I seem to have run out of storage space in my house and have decided to 
offload some auction guides and catalogs.


I listed them on eBay, and you can see that at:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Movie-Memorabilia-/196/m.html?item=141153369548pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item20dd657dcc_ssn=yeowvan

Some great books with great images.  A perfect opportunity to fill holes in 
your catalog collection.


Also, I have a rolled double sided advanced 1-sheet for Only God Forgives. 
Unfortunately it has some damage and is only in Good condition.  However, 
you can have for $25 -- send me an email.

Re: [MOPO] Why do so many auction houses make you sign in to see their results?

[Evan Zweifel]

I will respond to you.

To the first point.  If you force people to actually login before accessing 
certain information you will be able to determine if anyone is getting real 
value from the site.  If you are just counting page hits, you may be getting 
misled by huge quantities for robots.  Furthermore, you can attempt to control 
access from other sites which are taking financial advantage of your hard work 
(not to mention hosting $$) -- e.g., linking to your images or justifying their 
prices based on your results.

To the second point.  I like extended auctions, but most importantly, I like 
auctions which end at different times.  Extended, because I usually don't 
snipe, and time delays because I have a limited budget and my later bid 
decisions will depend on my earlier results.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Why do so many auction houses make you sign in to see

Bruce-I am guessing this is directed at me and movie poster exchange. The
reason for the change recently is because I run analytics constantly and
what I have found is we have thousands of unique visitors per month but only
1/3 of these are registering, even though they spend an average of 12
minutes on the site each visit. I want to improve registrations and get more
people engaged. Since implementing this, our registrations have increased
significantly. Regarding your suggestion that it might turn people off,
there is that possibility but that doesn't seem to be the case. So the point
is not to prove anything, it is to raise the customer database, which
increases sales, which benefits everyone. If it turns some people off, they
are not contributing anyway, so it really is a non-issue to my thinking. You
have a massive customer database and kudos to you. My business is relatively
new and still a work in progress.

 

And to that end, I have wondered about the benefits of having extended
auctions. I realize it maximizes profits for the seller, but all of my
buyers I have asked don't care for it. I would be curious to know what
people on this forum think about this. We built that option in when we
designed the site and could do so and it certainly works well for you at
emovieposter. I personally don't like sitting at the computer waiting on
auction end. I typically get zero responses because I post so little but if
anyone wants to share their thoughts I would be very interested.

I don't understand why so many auction houses make you sign in to see
their results. I don't get the point in it. I imagine SOME people register
just for that reason, so it may get them a few extra registered bidders,
but what does that prove? And aren't there many others who click away from
the site rather than register, so how can that be good.

I could understand this if those sites were charging a fee to join, because
then they would not want to give their information away for free. But
since there is no fee for registering, that can't be the reason.

And this is NOT just closed auctions. I also have seen it where you can't
see CURRENT bid prices, and that seems even stranger to me, because maybe
people would be encouraged to bid if they saw a low current high bid.

So what am I missing?

I saw a Pickers show where they found a box of movie posters. I believe the 
title they picked out as an example when they called their poster expert was 
Deathsport. The bearded guy said, Well, our expert tells me that this poster 
alone is worth $200!
(pardon my shaky memory..it may NOT have been Deathsport, but it was one of 
those biker-cum-sci-fi posters that, in the real world, aren't worth doody.) I 
checked Deathsport; it is being OFFERED for $189-200 by a couple of sellers. 
Someone else on Ebay has one at $25, no bids. Heritage sold one for ten bucks 
in NM condition.
Sounds like a serious case of turd-polishing to me.
Stick to the rusty motorcycles, guys.

 On a recent episode, the bearded one paid about $50 for a window

 Rock Hudson narrated compilation of clips. 
 
 The hilarious part was the picker confusing the release date code in
 the lower right hand corner (16/63), as indicating that it was only
 16 out of 63  printed  therefore rare!

[MOPO] 8-mm films looking for a good home

I somehow (don't ask) ended up with 6, 8-mm films -- a relic (I think) from the 
days when kids though it was cool to have their own projector and show 8 minute

David forced me to watch a hideously chopped version of Godzilla displayed on 
his basement wall.

Anyone on this list know what these are worth?  Anyone want them?  These seem 
to be in reasonably good shape.

Destination Tokyo.
The Adventures of Tarzan in The Hidden Jungle.
House of Dracula (plastic box)

[MOPO] A question for you 18 yr olds....

[Evan Zweifel]

In honor of MOPO's birthday, I ask a question: what was the very first movie 
poster that you obtained?

For me, it was the very rare insert for the James Stewart classic film Mr. 
Hobbs Takes a Vacation.  I bought this treasure from none other than Bruce 
Carteron at the Denver poster store Cinegraphics.  Which if you are keeping 
score, was (sad to say it closed) next door to Chipotle #1.  If you want see a 
picture of the store, visit your local Chipotle and look at the pictures on the 
wall, its in the background (preserved for eternity).

Re: [MOPO] COLLECTION DONATED TO THE MARGARET HERRICK LIBRARY

[Evan Zweifel]

Anyone else feel a little sad that these posters are off the market?

I suspect that there are several very rare pieces in this batch that I would 
love to have -- and may now never get the change to own.

Subject: [MOPO] COLLECTION DONATED TO THE MARGARET HERRICK LIBRARY

We just got a publicity release from The Academy indicating that longtime 
collector Dwight Cleveland has donated a significant collection of film posters 
to the Margaret Herrick library.  Over 1000 posters were donated.

This is a nice acquisition for the library, and a excellent use for these 
posters.  Dwight is to be commended for making this generous contribution.

Re: [MOPO] Wow...

[Evan Zweifel]

Really?  Buy this piece to restore and flip?

Can someone explain the math on that?  Seriously!

Believe me when I say that no one more than I wants to see the very old very 
rare posters preserved the future.

But it seems like with the cost of shipping, cost of restoration, cost of 
consignment, in combination with the aging out of collectors and the addition 
of more great films, it must be a very risky proposition.

Besides, surely if Luminita felt it would be more profitable for her to restore 
these pieces prior to selling, surely she would have.

Personally, I hope this piece ends up in the hands of a collector who is 
willing to restore it, or at least take care of it so that it does not get any 
worse.  

Hopefully someone with a bathing suit fetish.

Re: [MOPO] NT:new eBay image size ruling

[Evan Zweifel]

I guess I don't really understand.

Do you attempt to actually contact the original artist of the piece for 
compensation or attribution?  Or do you contact the studio, who presumably owns 
the actual copyright of the image?

Or are you suggesting that by taking a digital picture of a picture, you would 
somehow get some actual copyright?

Because if that is what you are suggesting, then it would follow that if I took 
a digital picture of your digital picture (perhaps I re-size it and enhance the 
color), that I would know somehow own the copyright.

Really?

All,

I am  sure they aren't thinking about this, but regardless possession is nine 
tenths (or some fraction or algorithmic function thereof) of the law and copies 
and reproduction members make it a habit to take their images from various 
auction and personal sources without any remittance or permissions of any kind.

I have always been very happy to compensate owners of the images in any way 
possible as I know how much work goes into the cataloging and listing process 
and that a dealer who is more concerned with a potential buyer getting the 
clearest possible snapshot of poster ephemera possible that it is bad form to 
snap a high res image of it for personal sales or other monetary gain. I am 
always having to vehemently separate myself from reproduction rapscallions, 
though most know my Hirschfeld obsession to be a slightly wacky, daffy, and 
gaffey pursuit nonetheless ;)

I would submit a good way to protect your images is to ensure they are 
watermarked across extremely difficult to Photoshop places, such as 
faces--which are almost impossible to correctly clone, repair, or duplicate 
correctly, so the image they have isn't what it would be unadulterated.

Of course this is yet another step to an already time-consuming listing process 
by diligent sellers, but once you have a high-res image out there for a 
nanosecond it is already published and is less valuable for certain 
collectors.

Thank you,

-daniel...

 Hi everyone and a happy new year!
  
 I have heard eBay are introducing a new rule where all images of posters / 
 lobby cards etc will have to be 1600 in size (without supersize function) as 
 of march this year. I know some of you already have images that size on every 
 listing but I know others don't.
  
 My question is, can you confirm this with the actual eBay announcement link 
 as I am having trouble finding it and how are they expecting those who have 
 1,000's of listing's with smaller images to all of a sudden have them 
 re-sized ?
  
 It has been suggested this is a tactic to force you into using the eBay 
 hosting service where by they own your image.
  
 Any thoughts on this would be welcomed…..
  
 Kind Regards

 CGC Adds Mini Window Cards to Services
 
 
 Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) has added mini window cards to its movie 
 lobby card grading services. CGC employs a 10-point grading scale for lobby 
 cards and mini window cards based on the industry standard scale used for 
 comics and magazines pioneered by CGC in 1999, the company said.
 
 “The same accurate, consistent and impartial grading that has made CGC the 
 preeminent comic and magazine grading company lends itself to movie lobby 
 cards and mini window cards,” the company said in a written statement.
 
 “Known throughout the hobby as the world’s most experienced and accurate 
 third-party grading service, CGC has established itself over the last 13 
 years as the premier place to have your comics, magazines, photos and lobby 
 cards certified. CGC’s lobby card encasement is a sealed and tamper-evident 
 holder of a heavy gauge archival plastic with binder holes. The fully 
 transparent front and back allows complete viewing of the card and protects 
 from any improper handling or soiling. If an owner wants to remove the card 
 from the holder they can merely cut the holder open and remove the card, 
 although that would nullify the grading,” they said.

Re: [MOPO] Sniping

[Evan Zweifel]

Funny.  I wonder how long a business can last without actually charging for 
their services.

From a technical stand point, it seems like the best solution would be to have 
the individual auction houses support snipe bidding.  So, when you bid on eBay 
or emovieposter, you could just register your bid as snipe, and it would 
execute the bid with 0 seconds left.

Of course, you would have to trust the auction house to execute your bid 
fairly.  But it seems like people already trust the snipe sites with their 
user/passwords.

  Use BidTamer, have paid but at the moment using the free version. 
  By paying fee snipe buffer can be reduced to 3 seconds, free version is 
minimum of 10 seconds.
  Also, with free version there's a limited number of snipes, think it's 3 a

Re: [MOPO] Sniping

[Evan Zweifel]

It seems like you could add that feature to your web site and not have to pay 
them every month.

However, it seems like a bit of a conflict of interest.  Basically, the 
argument for sniping is that the 
buyer will get a better price on the item.  As the auction house, your 
responsibility lies with the seller.
When you are paying a 3rd party to supply a service which is designed to get 
your consignors LESS money -- well,
that seems just plain wrong.

But, that's just my opinion.

Subject: [MOPO] R.I.P. Movie Collector's World 1976-2012

I am so very sad to announce that On Monday, October 15 two of the most
highly respected film buff publications, Movie Collector’s World (MCW) and
Classic Images (CI) announced that they had come to an agreement on the
sale of MCW. Classic Images has agreed to buy Movie Collectors World, a
Michigan based newspaper published by Brian Bukantis since 1985. The
agreement was made on Friday, October 12. The two papers, serving movie
buffs around the world, will be merged into one monthly publication. Under
the terms of the agreement, currently active paid MCW subscribers will
receive each monthly issue of CI, beginning with the December issue, for
the length of their MCW subscription term.

Those of you who only joined this hobby the past few years only know of MCW
as a thin magazine, filled mostly with auction announcements and ads for
the foremost dealers.

But for those of us who have been in the hobby for decades, we remember so
well those pre-Internet days when a large portion of the collectors and
dealers subscribed to this then bulging publication, because it was
*THE *number
one way to buy and sell, and pretty much the most important day of the
month was the one when MCW arrived!

This really IS the end of an era. I want to publicly thank Brian Bukantis
for publishing it the past 27 years, and for doing a superb job throughout
that time (of course, the *ONLY *thing he couldn't overcome was the
Internet, which is rapidly putting *EVERY *newspaper and magazine out of
business, and Brian should be quite proud that he was able to continue
publishing as long as he did). He is a great guy, both personally and
professionally, and he added immeasurably to our hobby. The *ONLY *silver
lining to this is that Brian's life now won't be spent going from one
urgent deadline to another!

I will have more about this (and a farewell message from Brian) in my next
weekly e-mail club message on Sunday!

Re: [MOPO] Mannheim, Metropolis and manipulation

[Evan Zweifel]

I find it odd that some of the names have been redacted -- as if that mattered 
in the age of the internet.  Especially when a link to the original document 
was posted earlier on the thread.  Personally, I love the term “Linkenback 
Declaration”, which clearly should be the name of spy thriller.  This is a 
wonderful (albeit sad) story of what people will do to keep their beloved 
collectibles.  Not to mention a great example of the prisoner's dilemma.  

In the hypothetical situation, we obviously would all have liquidated our 
collections to pay the debt.  However, in reality, I'm not so sure!

I love this statement:

older posters of nondescript nature losing the greater part of their value

I am not sure that a poster has to be all that old to fall into this category.

I think that this statement describes about 95% of all movie posters in 
existence.

I guess if you are talking as an investor then yes, it is a bad

But some things will be higher in five years and others will be 
lower yet, and I doubt anyone can say with any certainty which is which.
I saw some collectors holding on to out of favor items ten years 
ago, waiting for a rebound, only to see them currently lower yet.
And there are also lots of items that were $20 ten years ago that 
are $200 now.

the generalized statements in this post could be used for almost any 
conversation talking about any type of item.

with more specificity, markets change and most of the time what those 
changes are cannot be reliably predicted except in small areas.

For instance, Bruce and I have felt for 20 years that the comic book 
hobby has been ripe for collapse.
well, while some parts have collapsed (golden age and silver age book 
below fine 6.0 are generally worth 1/2 price guide give or take) 
other have completely skyrocketed with the modern-era comic art being 
the most obvious winners (excluding Action #1, which really has 
nothing to do with anything else aside from other Action #1s). Never 
in my life would I have thought that Frank Frazetta, Alex Raymond and 
Hal Foster would not be the Gold Standard in bw comic art, but Todd 
McFarlane, Frank Miller and to some extent John Byrne have clearly 
overshadowed those artists. Whether that can continue is debatable, 
but the likelihood is that even if McFarlane's status changes due to 
the fact that such prices for his art are being paid by a select 
community and at some point they will stop also. So Bruce and I have 
been both right and wrong.

on posters, it is clear where the market is headed

1) modern posters due to an influx of younger collectors in a process 
we know as Generational Swapping which is in tune with older 
collectors leaving the hobby and a reduced generational want for older posters

2) older posters of nondescript nature losing the greater part of their value

3) older posters of well known classics as well as horror  sf either 
increasing in value, albeit at a slower pace than is historical due 
to smaller % increases. The reason for this is that these films are 
still shown, and people buy from good feelings memories. Gone With 
the Wind will probably continue to be in demand in years to come, 
while the large majority of all other Clark Gable films with the 
exception of IHON and the Misfits will become $20 posters (for 
40s-50s titles), if they haven't already.

so actors like Roy Rogers and Robert Young, being of less interest to 
young collectors will lose value or salability, while Star Wars and 
most certainly Harry Potter will be the peak of their era.

one more thing, where comes to supply and demand issues, it is 
clear that 50% of the material pre-1970 in varying degrees from 
earliest to most recent are very obviously more abundant than 
collectors for such and that as you move up the scale from worst to 
best  even Creature From the Black Lagoon one sheets aren't selling 
as well as they used to, in part because everyone still wants (or 
needs to get) top price of the 2006-2008 market which was overheated. 
There has to be a happy medium for even a poster of that nature to 
sell, because at those price levels, supply IS greater than demand.

Re: [MOPO] FA: 273 bulk lots of all types and sizes containing 8,519 items in all close in 9 hours; incredible deals!

[Evan Zweifel]

Maybe, Filip, this lot is not right for you.

But, I am sure that there is someone out there willing to pay for the 
excitement of finding out what the other 39 titles are.

Personally, I would expect them to be folded french one-panels from '68 - '93.  
Nothing more or less.

It would be a very interesting question to determine if a collection of 45 misc 
French one-panels from '68 - '93 sells for MORE, LESS or the SAME depending of 
if they are explicitly listed.  

However, I suspect the answer might be different if the bidders knew if the 6 
items pictured were randomly selected from the pile, or if they were the 6 best.

Personally, I would not be surprised if this lot sold for as much or even more 
that this lot would sell if the titles were enumerated!  And if that is the 
case, there is certainly no motivation for the auction house to take the time 
to list them.

JUST LOOKED OVER THE 273 BULK LOTS
 CLOSING IN A FEW HOURS, 
AND I SAW
 
LOTS AND LOTS OF REALLY WILDLY UNDER-PRICED ITEMS, SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR 
THE BEST VALUES EVER, THEN BE SURE TO LOOK THESE OVER VERY CAREFULLY, BECAUSE 
AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE INCREDIBLE DEALS! MAYBE
 THERE ARE SO MANY LOW PRICES BECAUSE THIS IS A TWO WEEK 
SUNDAY AUCTION AND SOME BIDDERS DON'T REALIZE TODAY IS THE DAY THE 
AUCTIONS END!




Three 
times EVERY










 week we auction hundreds of
items that sell for low, low prices (we actually sell lots and lots of
items for $1 and $2, and around half of all that we auction goes
for $14 and under (and those are pretty evenly spread between $1 and $14), and 
our leading 'competitor NEVER auctions even ONE
item for less than FIFTEEN DOLLARS,
 due to their outrageous $14 minimum buyers
premium).

But







 Sunday's 273 bulk lots containing 8,519 items in all (only bulk lots, and the 
most we've ever offered at one time!), closing THIS AFTERNOON 
(not at night, like our Tuesday 
and Thursday auctions), on July 15th, represent REALLY
incredible values, and that includes

a lot of really good lots,
and yet many of these are currently
languishing at low, low, prices!With
 just 9 hours to go, these 273 bulk lots 
 include a CRAZY 36 that are $1 each or have no bid, a not-to-be-believed 43 
that
 are still $3 each
 and under. and a MOUNT EVEREST-LIKE 66 that
 are still $5 each and under! THAT'S 
RIGHT, 24% OF 
THESE 
ITEMS  ARE $5 EACH OR UNDER (and 13% are $1 each!), AND THAT INCLUDES A LOT OF 
GOOD LOTS YOU CAN SURELY BREAK UP AND PUT ON EBAY AND MAKE MUCHO PROFIT ON!

 Some may say they can't afford to spend money 
on
frivolous items like these right now, but I say you can't afford NOT 
to, both because many prices are lower than you could possibly imagine, 
and this 
opportunity might not pass this way again anytime soon, and also because
 THESE paper items seem far more likely to hold their value than our 
paper MONEY which erodes in value with each passing week!


Here is a list of 
the current top items (click on any to go to that auction, or click on the icon 
to see solely the image):
2h028 LOT OF 101 LOBBY CARDS FROM THE 1950s '50s crime, western, fantasy, 
musical  much more!


2h091 LOT OF 120 8X10 STILLS '50s-80s sexy bikini portraits  much more!


2h030 LOT OF 99 LOBBY CARDS '43 - '84 Frankenstein's Daughter, Slime People,

Re: [MOPO] Was 1982 the best year for sci-fi fantasy?

[Evan Zweifel]

Lest we forget -- this is a movie POSTER mailing list!  

Its a rare treat when a great film gets paired with a great poster, and I think 
that they did pretty well in 1982.   Alvin (2), Casaro, Amsel, Peak AND 
Struzan, Not to mention the iconic image of Poltergiest.

All I can say is wow.

  I say no.first off many of those mentioned are remakes or a sequel - meaning 
nothing truly original..so that aside I see only 2 or 3 movies that would make 
the true list for 1982.

   

  Blade Runner, ET, and stretching here with poltergeist.with Blade runner 
probably the truest original thought of the bunch (and probably my favorite sci 
fi flick).  Some could argue for Tron but to be that was more about special 
effects than story.  To be listed I think you need both.  So do three movies 
make a killer year?  Can you name another year that has more than three..or 
would year say 1968 make this for just one movie - that being 2001?  Or 77 for 
star wars b/c it defined a genre going forward?  Or can you give it to 82 for 
blade runner alone?

 Subject: [MOPO] KERRY HAGGARD WAS SENTENCED TODAY!

 After three long years I am happy to say that Kerry Haggard was
 sentenced.  The Judge threw the book at him, giving him the maximum
 sentence possible of 78 months in Federal Prison.  She would have
 given him more time, but then it might have opened the door for an
 appeal.  78 months is the maximum with no appeal opportunity.  She
 obviously didnt like Haggard and lectured him for about 20 minutes.
 He requested a transfer to the Atlanta Federal prison.  She refused to
 let him transfer to a Federal prison closer to his home in Atlanta.
 As a matter of fact, she also gave him three years probation after
 that, requiring it to be held in New York also.  Which means, he will
 have to live in that area.  He cant go to Georgia to do his time or
 his probation.

 In terms of restitution, she sentenced him to $1.377 million to be
 reimbursed to the hobby.  Unfortunately, they cant make him give
 posters back.  They can hold his feet to the fire, but can't actually
 make him give them back.  The good news is that Agent Mike Mullahy has
 found at least $300,000 in good posters.  (They also confiscated many
 other fakes.)  The Judge order that all funds raised from the sale of
 these posters go to the victims, not the Government.  Each victim was
 listed in the sentencing, with the amount due to them for
 reimbursement.

 It was also implied that there may be more charges coming.  I am not
 certain of this, but it sounds like there are more potential legal
 actions in Haggard's future.  I can't convey how much disdain the
 judge had for Haggard.

 There are some real positives from today.  First of all, the judge was
 greatly influenced by the letters that everyone sent to her.  She said
 she had never received so many letters in a case, ever!  Thank you to
 each person who wrote a letter.  Also a thank you to Robert Ragovin
 and Glenn Damato who spoke in court along with myself.  Ralph De Luca
 was also there lending support.  I want to send a special thanks to
 Sean Linkenback.  He knows why, and thats all I will say about that.
 Our hobby owes a special thanks to the FBI.  Specifically Agent Mike
 Mullahy.  He did a fantastic job.  He talked to me day  night.  I
 remember one time he contacted me at 10:30 on a Sunday evening.  He
 went over and above.

 Another positive is the fact that our legal system does in fact work!
  My only regret is that Haggard is still lying and still trying to
 hold the posters for his own gain.  But, the game is far from over.
 Overall today was a wonderful day for our hobby.  I personally thank
 God for what he did today.  Jim Gresham

if your into watching old films on the big screen, Casablanca is playing on 
Wednesday. Its the 70th anniversary of the film -- complete with a new poster

Disney's $200 Million Charge
'John Carter' Proves a Huge Loss for Disney,
Spurs New Focus on Cutting Costs
By ERICA ORDEN FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

  Walt Disney Co. expects to lose $200 
 million on its science-fiction epic John 
 Carter, the company said on Monday, citing the 
 costly movie's weak box-office performance.
  As a result, Disney added, its movie 
 studio is expected to report an operating loss 
 of between $80 million and $120 million for its 
 fiscal second quarter, ending March 31. Disney 
 won't report its earnings for the quarter until 
 May, and rarely offers such advance financial guidance.
  The studio recorded an operating profit of 
 $77 million during the same quarter last 
 year—even though that period included another 
 big-budget flop, Mars Needs Moms.
  John Carter, which cost more than $250 
 million to make and an additional $100 million 
 to market, has been a box-office bomb, 
 particularly in the U.S., where its cumulative 
 domestic earnings total $53.2 million during 
 its first 10 days in theaters. The movie has 
 fared somewhat better abroad, grossing $130.8 
 million outside the U.S. and Canada since its 
 March 9 opening. But those results are 
 disappointing for a film that was one of the studio's most expensive in years.
  It certainly didn't meet the expectations 
 of what I wanted or what I needed, Disney 
 Studios Chairman Rich Ross said in an interview last week.
  The film, about a Civil War veteran 
 transported to a planet populated by alien 
 creatures called Tharks, came in third in the 
 weekend's box-office ticket sales results, 
 behind rivals 21 Jump Street and Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.
  In addition to its significant expense, 
 John Carter suffered from an array of 
 handicaps, including a lack of recognizable 
 stars—the film featured actors Taylor Kitsch 
 and Lynn Collins, neither of whom are household 
 names—and a marketing campaign that was widely 
 considered indecipherable and visually unappealing.
  During Disney's recent shareholders 
 meeting, Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo 
 brushed aside an inquiry about the movie's 
 results, saying that it's very early to talk 
 about the financial impact of that film.
  Partly in response to costly projects such 
 as John Carter, Disney executives say they 
 have taken a tougher look at production budgets 
 for its films, most notably for upcoming 
 release The Lone Ranger, on which the studio 
 halted production when its projected costs had surpassed $260 million.
  In a statement on Monday, the company 
 emphasized the prospects of its upcoming films. 
 As we look forward to the second half of the 
 year, we are excited about the upcoming 
 releases of 'The Avengers' and 'Brave,' which 
 we believe have tremendous potential to drive 
 value for the Studio and the rest of the company.

Taking this off the old thread so people can delete this at will.

Yeah, Evan, I've noticed you routinely enjoy
 making smarty-pants remarks about the views of other MoPo'ers, despite 
the fact that your posts have added nothing to MoPo - other than fecal 
noise - since the dawn of man.  You're not quite a rodxmorgan, but as a
 veteran of these boards, you seem to be a lonely, malodorous chap 
making dodgy comments about theater concessions, posters and the like, 
often without grace or humility.  However, I do accept your deepest 
most heartfelt apology - despite its inane context - because it may be 
the first stirrings of something more sarcastically complex at work - 
beyond the mono-cell life form you project on these boards.  Alas, most 
MoPo'ers, myself included, still have no idea, nor any 
grasp - nor perhaps, any interest - of who or what - an Evan Zweifel 
is.  It's difficult because Evan Zweifel (if that's you're real name) - 
doesn't understand that releasing short bursts of verbal flatus - isn't 
the same as sharing more of yourself that proves that you're a 
person with a life outside of the Internet.  My deepest most heartfelt 
apologies - and sympathies - for your aggrieved state.

The stake in the heart was sitting through three pictures that made us feel 
ripped off at the box office: 1) Hollywood Ending (despite a great promo 
poster featuring 52 images of the endings of great film cl!
 assics), 2) Anything Else and, 3) Whatever Works.  

OTHER than Midnight in Paris, when is the last time anyone you know has PAID 
to see one of his films in a THEATER?  You're damn right I'm bragging.  If 
there is a Woody Allen picture that I've missed, I'd like to know.  I've seen 
all of them and I don't consider Midnight in Paris, for which he won his 4th 
Oscar, worthy at all.  But my opinion does not matter; the Academy chose.  I 
had a stone face watching that picture.  (I'll never forgive the Academy 
picking Platoon as the Best Picture in 1986 over Hannah, despite Hannah 
having 9 nominations and picking up awards for best screenplay and best 
supporting actor and actress (Michael Caine and Dianne Wiest.)  Honestly, the 
BEST Woody Allen picture I've seen during the past 20 years (other than Small 
Time Crooks and Match Point, which I like a lot) - wasn't even directed by 
him.  It's a 2011 picture called, Woody Allen: A Documentary.  This 
three-hour opus flies by in a flash, features Woody being interviewed abo!
 ut EVERYTHING, warts and all, and includes clips from all of his movies 
including Midnight in Paris.  It's a sophisticated, big budget documentary 
that aired on PBS late last year in two parts - and is now available on DVD.  
This is a film that's worth BUYING, it's that damn good.  Hell, we even saw 
Woody in person during one of his rare visits to Los Angeles - when we scored 
tickets to watch him play a one-hour jazz concert at the Jazz Bakery in Culver 
City during his Jade Scorpion publicity tour.  Please visit the two links

disasters in film history.  The AP also grimly noted that most of Carter's 
fans are men OVER 25, which is terrible news from a business standpoint for a 
film the NY Times now says cost $350 million to make AND to market.  How can 
you make a profit from that?  You need younger patrons who are more avid movie 
goers than older people, who tend to stay home.




This afternoon's article further infers that while Disney is today adopting a 
point no fingers stance, director Andrew Stanton was given a blank check 
based on his past performance with Finding Nemo and WALL-E.  Disney 
apparently so feared angering a box office golden boy like Stanton - that the 
result was a Mike Cimino-like Heaven's Gate fiasco (which occurred after UA 
gave Cimino a blank check after his prior success with the The Deer Hunter in 
1978-79).




While Hollywood has always cared about overseas box office, production chiefs 
still craft their films foremost with U.S. audiences in mind.  This is a 
country, after all, of 300 million.  This explains the American-centric drive 
of U.S.-financed pictures that puzzle sophisticated audiences in the U.K., for 
example, e.g., the casting of William Holden in Bridge Over the River Kwai, 
the singular U.S. perspective of the D-Day landing in Saving Private Ryan, 
the casting of Steve McQueen and James Garner in The Great Escape, etc.  Even 
today, a U.S. film that does poorly here but makes up its investment overseas 
is considered a blemish to its prestige in the industry, e.g., Costner's 
Waterworld, last year's Cowboys and Aliens and 1963's Cleopatra - the 
latter which nearly destroyed Fox.  (Incredibly, the #1 overseas market for 
U.S. films is not in Europe - but in Asia, specifically Japan.)  In the end, 
for all the clamor for better made pictures, the Hollywood model i!
 s still geared towards making money by targeting young people, resulting in an 
overall poorer quality product unless you purposely chase mature audiences (as 
in temperament, and not necessarily age) - such as independent films which can 
still make money because of low production budgets.  It's why Woody Allen is 
still making films despite a mostly mediocre output since 1989.  One thing for 
sure - despite the quality of John Carter, Disney's and director Stanton's 
original plans to make two sequels of this film in the years ahead are dead.

True, John Carter is meaningless except to ERB fanboys, but Disney has had 
terrible luck with any movie with Mars in the title. Both last year's Mars 
Needs Moms and, from years ago, Misson to Mars were major flops. So Disney may 
be shying away from the whole Mars thing. And if they weren't before, they sure 
will now.

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks

[Evan Zweifel]

Look. 

Imagine for a second that they could make more profit by lowering the price of 
the popcorn and drinks and (as you suggest) sell a lot more.  Well, they would 
certainly do that regardless of the split between the studio and the theater.  
Otherwise they would be idiots.

I'm pretty sure that they have found the right price for the concessions; you 
just aren't willing to pay it.

You should accept the fact that you are not in their target market and get over 
it.  The chemicals they put on the popcorn aren't good for you anyway; you will 
live longer and better if you stay away.  You should THANK them for pricing it 
that way.

I learned this in econ classes:  I don't pay thirteen bucks for popcorn!

And I think that the exhibitors would sell a lot more of it if it was cheaper.

And a more equitable split between the producers and the exhibitors would allow 
them to shift the
price point on popcorn, drinks and everything to increase their volume.   The 
sweet spot, Evan, the sweet spot.

[MOPO] Needed BRAZIL movie poster

[Evan Zweifel]

I need an original 1-sheet from Brazil for a local showing of the film to 
commemorate the anniversity of a our local art house.

Condition is not important.  In fact, folded in Good condition with fold tears 
and staple holes which was priced appropriately would be preferable to a mint 
rolled one that was not.

Either style (Bed or exploding head) is fine, oscar text is fine (maybe even 
prefereable).

  I actually thought it was one of the LEAST boring Oscar telecasts I've seen

o'clock rolled around I was completely caught up, having not listened to any of 
the acceptance speeches I wasn't interested in or the commercials. (You do the 
math on that one.) I thought Billy Crystal got it right almost all night. I 
thought some of the choices on the video packages were strange especially the 
In Memorial segment which featured almost all still photos, odd for an event 
celebrating motion pictures. I didn't miss having to sit through the two 
ghastly Best Songs but the package assembled for Best Movie of the Year was 
wrong-headed, intercutting the clips from the best films so that one never got 
a taste for any of the nine films, just a stupid idea. I wasn't too upset with 
the actual awards last night, although I wish Hugo had tak!

backlash with the totally ordinary The Descendants and George Clooney winning 
top awards and I'm glad that didn't happen. I would have preferred Viola Davis

in an absolutely ghastly film but I'm also glad Woody Allen didn't win for his

Sorry to disagree, Bruce, but several of us thought that, though it wasn't 
the greatest, that last night's Oscar presentation at LEAST paid attention to 
the professionals, living and passed on, who make up the world of 
movies...unlike the last two years when the production tried to cater to the 
People's Choice and Teeny-bop Awards. We could actually see the entire audience 
in the beautiful theatre last night--  instead of having it decorated like a 
studio for a game show, complete with peanut gallerey screaming, Pick me!
Sorry, but SOMEONE has to take the higher road.  I believe that OSCAR needs 
to be that someone.  
There is a huge international audience for the Oscars which negates the 
necessity to cater to the US's Text-Sending Teeny-Set.  Don't worry about 
them.. Michael Bay  the Vampire Crew. will see to it that they are well 
entertained and spend lots and lots of mommy-daddy money at the concession 
stands...and the grownups can snooze with pleasure through an Oscar program 
that  honors Hugo rather than Transformers.
When Oscar becomes the People's Choice, excellence in film will be buried 
under a heap of poot jokes and CGI.  
Sorry if my comments seem old-fashioned, but that's the way this movie fan 
sees it.

PS-- I thought the awards were well-apportioned on the whole.  This year 
was all about the Nomination being the thing--- an excellent year for film.
PPS-- But the choice NOT to bestow special honors on the Potter series 
with it's decade-long history of excellence in everything, was 
unfortunate...the night's biggest failing in my estimation.

Billy Crystal was entertaining, but SO familiar in everything he did and said. 
And was I the only one who kept wondering if he might have looked and performed 
better if he hadn't had his very obvious plastic surgery? And isn't it a bad 
sign when the best segment was the circus art, which has zero to do with movies.

It hit me when they did the In Memorium segment, and there were tons of

have successfully turned the Oscars into the Golden Globes, filled with

Re: [MOPO] Floating Head Movie Posters

As a Cary Grant collector, I was shocked when I got the 1-sheet for Crisis.  
This was BG (Before Gore invented the internet) and we just crossed our fingers 
and hoped what showed up in the mail didn't totally suck.  You can see it at:

The question I have is why??  At some point, someone told me that this was so 
that theaters could cut up the posters to make their own custom lobby displays. 
 Is there any truth in this??

[MOPO] Life in a Day -- one of you is a star!!!

[Evan Zweifel]

I saw Life in a Day tonight and really enjoyed it.  You can read about it at:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1687247/

Apparently a bunch of people uploaded home videos to YouTube all made on the 
same day.  The clips were editted together into a fun film.

I especially appreciated the gentleman sitting on the toilet WEARING A 
EMOVIEPOSTER GODZILLA AUCTION T-SHIRT!!

OK, fess up!  Who was it?

Re: [MOPO] ATTACK THE BLOCK

[Evan Zweifel]

I second this recommendation.

I have the luxury of having an small independent art theater within walking 
distance, and I saw this on the big screen.  

A really fun film.  Great dialog (challenging to understand)!

On a similar note check out The Guard.

Subject: [MOPO] ATTACK THE BLOCK

Hello Mopes -

Just watched ATTACK THE BLOCK and wanted to recommend it to the low-budget 
sci-fi horror crowd that has not heard about it yet.
Very stylish and exciting - really terrific monsters that look like something 
out of a kid's nightmare - or a killer muppet on crack!
Made in England but arcs like The Blob with terrific young actors - most of 
them black.
Loaded with humor and some real chills.
Its actually a fun movie that works for a change!
On Pay Per View now - go for it - and enjoy.

Re: [MOPO] 4 extra folds? 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 extra undisclosed folds

[Evan Zweifel]

Its hard to understand what your motivation is for bringing this to our 
attention.

If you are disappointed, return the poster.  

Don't haggle over the price as you will never be satisfied -- and you will just 
annoy the seller.

If you only lose $10 on a failed poster transaction, consider yourself very 
very lucky!

Subject: [MOPO] 4 extra folds? 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 extra undisclosed folds

first appears my email to this mega-ebay seller.  then his  response.  then 
my response, to which he has ignored.  please give me  your comments.   i 
paid 45. with shipping.  
 
 
FIRST EMAIL:
 
 
hello:  got shipment  notification just today, and pkg arrived today.
 
i purchased  from you in the past---i recognized your enclosures, although 
i do not  recall the titles or the ebay acct i used.
 
i am really  surprised  disappointed that your description did not 
state/disclose  that the poster had 4 extra horizontal folds.  therefore, this 
insert  has 7 folds.three standard plus the four extras.  the extra folds  
have lots of surrounding wrinkles, and some paper loss. 
 
as a poster  dealer, this issue/defect is something you know MUST be 
disclosed.   while i appreciated that your ebay image is large, these  EXTRA 4 
folds are not visiblehence your description should have  referenced this.  
in fact, in fact, even the standard studio folds are hard  to see in the 
photo, so i have to wonder why.  
 
extra folds  must be disclosed, so i do not understand why you, as a poster 
dealer--did not  disclose them. 
 
i thought this  was a fair deal for us both in this Make-An-Ebay-Offer 
purchase, but with  this defect, i am not so sure.  
FIRST RESPONSE:
 
M - I am sorry about this problem, we want you to be happy with the items  
you get from us.  I think that the problem occurred because the person who  
does the scans is not always the same person who does the descriptions.   
She often writes the description with the scan on the screen and probably 
could  not see the extra folds in the scan either.  Do you want to return the  
poster for a refund?
 
 
MY UNASWERED RESPONSE:
 
   
thank you for your reply.
 
the fact that you said one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing,  
and there is no one overseeing the process, doesn't exude confidence to buy 
 expensive items from you.  accurate descriptions is so very  important.
 
i will now think whether to return the poster and ask you to pay the 10.00  
return postage, or ask for a price adjustment to reflect the value of of 
poster  with 4 extra folds.
 
your thoughts?
 
thanks
michael

Re: [MOPO] Re-Releases

[Evan Zweifel]

There's really very few posters where a re-issue poster is worth more than 
the original.  You mentioned two.  I would add the re-issue 1-sheets for The 
Killers and The Pride of the Yankees.  Are there others??

However, sometimes I wonder what would happen to the market for these 
re-issues, if the studio re-released the film now with a killer 1-sheet.

Rich,

I'll take all those original GONE WITH THE WIND and WIZARD OF OZ posters that 
you haven't sold.

Addressing Phillips question, I think that reissue posters, if they are good 
designs - for example, the NORTH BY NORTHWEST
reissue - THE HUSTLER reissue - have enjoyed some appreciation.  Other 
reissues, which seemed to have been indifferently designed,
like the 1962 MGM reissues (those films were reissued to get some cash flow for 
MGM which was hemorrhaging funds to Brando's BOUNTY)
still have the reissue stigma that the old-hand collectors assigned to them.

Here's a kicker:  some video release posters are quite good and can generate 
some interest from time to time.

 high prices for original release material, but generate high prices across 
 the whole range of different sizes for most of their re-release posters. 
 Even somewhat lesser titles like Ghost of Frankenstein or AC meet 
 Frankenstein sell well on re-release.
  
 On the other hand, and putting aside films where maybe there is one very 
 iconic size and image (say the one sheet for Gilda), it seems to me that 
 re-release material from films where any original paper commands high 
 prices, like Robin Hood, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Flash Gordon 
 or It Happened One Night, seem to drop off much more dramatically from the 
 prices that original release material brings. Anyone have an opinion to 
 share?  Thanks

[MOPO] Posters worth owning...

[Evan Zweifel]

One of the best parts of this hobby is that for every $1000 poster there are 
hundreds of hidden gems for less than $100.  Often these are lesser titles with 
great stars, lesser images from great films, historic (or dated) titles have 
lost their appeal, or great artwork from obscure films or by great artists.

I feel that these titles really add depth to good collection -- and have been 
adding them over the years to mine.

In general I would not bring these to your attention (for the obvious reason 
that I don't to bid against you), however one of my favorites is at Heritage 
this week -- perhaps the most affordable James Montgomery Flagg poster 
available (read more about this incredible illustrator at: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Montgomery_Flagg), and see the poster at:

http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=161134lotNo=54402lotIdNo=19016

Happy collecting.

Re: [MOPO] 5,658,000.00 !!!!!!

[Evan Zweifel]

My theory -- and mind you that this is just a theory.

1) These costumes were worn by the biggest stars in Hollywood.

2) Undoubtedly some skin cells sloughed off the wearers and are embedded in the 
material.

3) Everyone on the planet has seen Jurrasic Park.

it obviously follows that:

Some billionaire has developed technology to clone dead movie stars and is 
planning a theme park.

And I would not be surprised if Jeff Goldblum was somehow involved.

if so many people were willing to bid up to such heights for some of 
the contents, why couldn't someone buy  exhibit this wonderful collection?

you know that many Hollywood big wigs had to have been bidding and 
the $23million in sales (was that b4 or after BP?) by itself may have 
almost bought the entire collection (yes folks.. there is more)

Re: [MOPO] an eBay lobby card purchase - your opinion?

I hate when this happens.

You wait forever for a card of this vintage to appear and there is always a 
condition problem!

Its pretty amazing, given the size of the picture on the listing that the text 
does not appear. 

http://cgi.ebay.com/LISTEN-DARLING-JUDY-GARLAND-1938-LC-/350462705891?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item51993480e3

Perhaps its not so noticible to the untrained eye.

However, I agree that given the text it should have been called out.  

On the other, it seems like awesome 1930's graffiti (wouldn't that enhance the 
value?).

Personally, I would be reluctant to send it back.  Bruce has listed 2 lobbies 
from this title in the last 10 years, and Heritage has listed 0!!!

hello all: 
A couple weeks back, I purchased a lobby card on eBay. The description of the 
card said, CONDITION: The card is not numbered. There is pencil on Walter’s 
face and faint writing behind his head. There is one worm hole in the center of 
the upper border and light soiling on the surface. Condition is Good-Very 
Good. 
  
I usually do not bid on cards that have writing. However, her description said, 
faint writing behind his head and I looked at the enlarged photo and, quite 
frankly, didn't see any writing and thought it must be as described ('faint'). 
The link below shows the enlarged photograph which was in her description on 
eBay. 
http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd368/fredlahr/listendarling.jpg 
　 
When I returned last Sunday from another wonderful weekend at Cinevent, the 
card had arrived in the mail. I was totally shocked when opened the package and 
saw the card. The writing behind Walter Pidgeon's face, was not faint by any 
means and the writing said f*ck you, written in pencil or pen. Link below 
shows extreme close-up of this portion of the card she sent me. 
http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd368/fredlahr/LD-FU.jpg 
　 
I know that if I or just about any other dealer on this list was posting this 
lobby card online, the description would not say 'faint writing behind his 
head'.  It would definitely be more descriptive and say exactly what was 
written there and certainly the listing would not indicate that it was 'faint' 
or hard to see. 
　 
I wrote to the seller immediately via the eBay contact option last Sunday. As 
of ten minutes ago Saturday 10AM EST, she has not responded to me. 
  
While I don't like to give negative feedback ratings, I am leaning heavily 
toward it in this case because she posted a photo in an enlarged view which did 
not accurately show the writing which was easily visible and (2) she totally 
ignored my email after I received the card. 
　 
Due to privacy issues, I do not wish to publicy post a link to the eBay listing 
or publish the seller's eBay ID. If anyone would like to see the actual 
listing, please write me privately. 
  
I would, however, very much like to her your opinion and thoughts about this 
transaction. 
  
Thanks! 
　 
Best,

Re: [MOPO] an eBay lobby card purchase - your opinion?

[Evan Zweifel]

I certainly apologize for outing the seller in this situation.

All I did to find this listing, was use the search for closed auctions on 
eBay.  I assumed that this was obvious and anyone reading this thread had 
already done so.

My intent was to suggest that this card is both very rare and the defect was 
perhaps not as significant.

You could, perhaps, return it and wait 10 years for another. 

As for this dealer -- I have purchased many items from her over the years, and 
have nothing but praise. 

Perhaps it is better this way anyway, and we can stop talking in the abstract 
(so and so should do this to resolve this), and we can be concrete (she is 
great, I am sure she will fix this).

I hope that no one on this list thinks that they have any anonimity on the 
internet.  

Evan

Didn't the originator of the first post indicate that if anyone wanted
the listing or ID of the lobby card seller to email him privately? Why
then would this individual, Evan, take it upon himself to post the
ebay item (and divulge the seller)?

Maybe it's just me, but it is these kind of moves on mopo and other
boards that almost appear to want to incite online bickering or verbal
attacks.

Should the seller have been in touch with Alan? Yes. Should there be
some adjustment to the purchase? If Alan wants to send it back, and
the seller agrees, of course, no harm, no foul. Should the verbage on
the card have been specified? Yes.

But all that being said, IMO, Evan had no right to take the initiative
and, in a sense, OUT the seller. Now that we all know who the seller
is, she has 100% feedback, and posts to mopo, as well. Maybe she had
an emergency? Or worse? The auction was completed a little over a week
ago. It isnt as tho weeks have rolled by with no resolve.

I am always curious, too, on these kinds of posts, asking for
thoughts and opinions on transactions that have not gone perfectly.
These often appear to be an opportunity to publicly bash others.
Unless the matter is NEVER resolved, why even ask the forum, when the
auction itself only just ended on May 22.

Just my 2¢.

 I know that if I or just about any other dealer on this list was posting this 
 lobby card online, the description would not say 'faint writing behind his 
 head'.  It would definitely be more descriptive and say exactly what was 
 written there and certainly the listing would not indicate that it was 
 'faint' or hard to see.

Re: [MOPO] TIFFANY'S OS

[Evan Zweifel]

Seems like that auction results of the last 2 years from eMovieposter.com and 
HA.com suggest the low end of this range is really $3K.

That of course would be retail pricing -- with consignment costs, the seller 
would naturally receive (perhaps considerably) less.

I'm with you Allen, you should ignore those offers!  

Poster prices are sure to rebound any day and you will be kicking yourself if 
accept any less!

You probably did him a favor anyway, unemployed people shouldn't be spending

Howdy y'all, 


I had an interesting inquiry regarding one of my recently closed auctions ... 
the person asked if I was willing to take less for a certain poster, since he 
was unemployed. 


Apparently, the prices may be down across the board due to the economy, but 
interest has not waned as much. 


My answer was a sincere and empathetic 'no'. 


BTW ... I have current auctions for movie posters, (including the poster

Two styles of 2p, art either by Pirko or Rojac, value guide 2000/2500 FF

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Evan Zweifel]

Ahh the very young... what could THEY possibly know!

So, throwing out the video game (which I suspect it pretty darn good) and the 
TV documentary, the Marlon Brando IMDB-8.0 collection includes:

(9.20) - The Godfather (1972) 
(8.60) - Apocalypse Now (1979) 
(8.40) - On the Waterfront (1954) 
(8.10) - A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) 

Which, seems to me a pretty good list!  Seems like an excellent set of 
recommendations to introduce a youngster to Brando.

Are you suggesting that there is another gem on his resume?  Perhaps 1992 
version of The Island of Dr. Moreau!

As for the skewness of the data, perhaps, but maybe not.  I do think that the 
younger crowd (29 and below), in general, uniformly rate movies higher (perhaps 
1 point higher).  This should not matter (in relative ranking) as long as their 
participation is uniform in the movies you are comparing (e.g., I suspect that 
the breakdown of voters' ages for Cary Grant films is relatively consistent).  

However, I do believe that the breakdown is NOT uniform across all films -- as 
younger (higher voting) see and subsequently rate more new films than older 
films.  Not to mention old people are smart enough to avoid films made 
specifically for younger audiences.  So, by this theory, the ratings of modern 
films would (and I think do) excede ratings of older films in IMDB.  But! That 
should not be a problem when looking at filmographies of stars (unless they 
have had and continue to have extremely long careers).  This problem should not 
really be noticible except when creating Top 250 lists across all films -- a 
list which IMDB has and is clearly skewed modern (but great nevertheless)!  
However, IMDB does provide Top 50 by Decade and Genre which I suspect are more 
useful.

You can look at the demographic breakdown of the votes (select the link next to 
the User Rating) determine which category you fall into and see if your 
perception is way out of line.

Evan, 

Even though at the very end of your post you go along with my contention, there 
are a couple of points in what you said that I am uneasy with:
First of, my suggestion was NOT to pick your favorite, because of skewed 
perception.
Secondly, I thought that doin' it in your mind will avoid making the whole 
thing an exact science, because my number 3 is just something I picked out 
off the cuff.  I won't swear to it.
Lastly, and that is the most important, who gives those IMDB ratings, and what 
the heck are they worth? I don't exactly know, but I suspect not a heck of a 
lot.  Case in point, of all Brando's great contribution to the world of motion 
pictures, 6 received an above 8.00 rating.  But wait a minute, in the #3 spot 
is The Godfather-the VIDEO GAME!!, in the #5 spot is that great 2001 TV 
documentary starring Michael Jackson, and the first runner up in the #7 spot is 
Roots: The Next Generation. 
See what I'm getting at?
Clearly, those ratings are compiled by a computer based on popular voting which 
happen to be mostly the very young audience.
Not wrong, but very skewed.

Zeev

Don't trust you mind -- this is the age of the internet.

Pick a star, find them in IMDB, and look at their film credits sorted by 
rating.  If you assume (like I do) that anything rated 8 or above is a truly 
great film, I think you will be surprised at what you find.

My favorite star has always been James Stewart and to his credit:

(8.70) - It's a Wonderful Life (1946) 
(8.70) - Rear Window (1954) 
(8.60) - Vertigo (1958) 
(8.40) - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 
(8.10) - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) 
(8.10) - Rope (1948) 
(8.10) - The Philadelphia Story (1940) 
(8.10) - Anatomy of a Murder (1959) 
(8.10) - Harvey (1950) 
(8.09) - The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 

Not to mention nearly another 30 (WOW!) respectable films rated 7 or higher.

However, I think that he is the exception -- and I suspect that your number (3) 
is dead on!

Ultimately, as time passes, collectors age, trends and fashions change, many 
former icons will only be known for one or two of their films, while others 
will cease to be icons altogether, joining the vanished stars of the silent 
era. And the process is probably helped along by the lack of attractive movie 
paper on them. 
  
It's sad to watch this happen, especially with a star the calibre of Brando, 
who was (and to a large extent remains) a very influential movie actor. But 
that's just the way it is...

i agree with Zeev and it's interesting that Brando, Clift and Dean were each 
served by terrible US campaigns for all their major films: 

A Place In The Sun, From Here To Eternity, Suddenly Last Summer, On The 
Waterfront, Streetcar Named Desire, The Wild One, I Confess,  Rebel, Giant, 
East Of Eden 

all pretty awful campaigns and so none of these actors has a single US poster 
that truly shows them at their peak.   clift looks only so-so on the uninspired 
A Place In The Sun 1sh.  a better image is The Heiress 3sh (on the 1sh he's 
largely hidden as per I Confess and much of his other paper).  

was clift too pretty for public consumption?  the best clift portrait must 
actually be the one on his section of The Young Lions 1sh (although ruining 
things on this poster is brando who looks more like derren nesbitt). 

   

james dean posters, including rebel, I find very meh.  who designed the East Of 
Eden campaign?  a monkey who's acquired production stills, scissors, cataracts 
and a vendetta by the looks of things. 

it's a wonder these guys became icons at all.  this wouldn't have been allowed 
to happen in the 1930/40s

Dave, 

  

You are so right about the “softness” of most of Brando’s paper, sadly 
however, this is true for most of the big names of the 40’s and 50’s.  Who 
the heck collects Gregory Peck as an actor(as opposed to a couple of titles in 
which he’s in) these day?  Or Spencer Tracy, or Anthony Quinn, Paul Newman, 
Kirk Douglas, or even Clark Gable?  And the list goes on and on.  They’re all 
giants, we’d all agree, but the number collectors who care about them is 
dwindling
