Agree, Jim.

A great article on a genuine and sincere poster seller and collector.
One of the rare ones in the hobby.

Re: [MOPO] Mopo.O/T - Happy Halloween

2019-10-31 Thread Jeff Potokar
Sleeping IN on Halloween night (at 5;12 PM)?

I don’t get it. Why "sleep in" at almost 6 PM?

Most normal people are getting home from work, having dinner and/or getting 
ready for the little ghouls to come knocking.

Why were you wanting to be passed out?

Re: [MOPO] Getting older and collecting movie posters. (PHOTOS.)

2019-10-16 Thread Jeff Potokar
Dave,

AS always occurs when you write, another insightful and well versed post.

I agree with you on all aspects. At the end of the day, we are nothing more 
than caretakers with items that we “own.” Barring something like a fire, 
earthquake, or the like, all of these things will outlast us, and many were 
around before we were born.

And what fantastic photos of your collection.  Thanks for the added perk to 
your post.

Jeff

Re: [MOPO] Interesting New Auction

2019-07-09 Thread Jeff Potokar
The only problem with this auction is that (from how their terms read), all 
items must be picked up. They don’t mail or ship anything… so that removed a 
huge # of potential buyers and bidders.

Unless I overlooked something, that is. 

Does anyone know for sure, if that’s the case?

Exactly, Jim.

How easy for those to say its not a big deal, when they aren’t the ones who got 
the short end of the stick.

Mendez was integral to that who SCAM operation. Haggard was the mastermind, but 
he wasn’t the artist. Without Mendez, NONE of the forgeries would ever have 
been born. And THAT is also a fact, not my opinion or thought on the matter.

Mendez created fakes and forgeries, using his artistic skill to aid and help 
Haggard swindle people. And his claim that “I didn’t know” is a load of crap. 
Unless he’s as dumb as a box of rocks, that is.

That anyone supports this kind of individual is beyond me. And as you said, 
Jim, who’s to know if he might decide to swap out a client’s WOLF MAN or 
INVISIBLE MAN piece, for a newly created fake? But in a way, those that use him 
 deserve anything like this, should it ever happen. (And yes, that is my 
thought on this part of the equation).

You lost a lot, Jim. And that is a tragedy.

But those that haven’t suffered at Mendez’s hands are here to sing his praises. 
And that is pretty pathetic.

Yes he’s good. No doubt about that.

But the facts speak for themselves.

Its has nothing to do what I think about him.

He helped perpetuate a MAJOR fraud in this hobby. Again. those are the FACTS. 
They are Not my thoughts on him or the issue at hand.

Re: [MOPO] Thank you Jaime - In a Lonely Place 6sh

2019-04-17 Thread Jeff Potokar
Mendez’ “transgressions” are NOT alleged. They are fact. Read the court docs or 
talk with Jim Gresham.

He was the one who created the forgeries and fakes on behalf of Kerry Haggard. 
Without Mendez to create these fakes, there would’ve been nothing for Haggard 
to sell, trade or swindle with.

Mendez is complicit, whether he wants to admit it or not.

Re: [MOPO] Thank you Jaime - In a Lonely Place 6sh

2019-04-15 Thread Jeff Potokar
Right on, Jim,

The guy was part of Haggard’s scam ring, and he helped to rip off collectors to 
the tune of THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars.

Anyone that uses him and helps support his venture is akin to them giving him a 
big fat pass on the criminal forgeries he made.

Shame on anyone that continues to use JAIME MENDEZ for any restoration work. 

He should be restoring license plates behind bars. 

And I am not alone in this sentiment, either.

[MOPO] F/S: Altered States US International OS

2018-02-21 Thread Jeff Potokar
For sale, I have a never used, folded copy of the more elusive International, 
US one sheet for Altered States (1980). Probably the best poster image for this 
movie. And not a common poster, either. Measures 27x41 inches. Clean & crisp 
with sharp border edges.

Refection is causing the accentuated looking fold lines.

Here is the image link (as I cant do the image embed to MOPO with rr email):

https://imgur.com/yRq1j1G

The poster will be securely packaged to insure safe delivery.

Price: $290.00 plus cost of Priority Mail shipping with tracking.

I will ship to US, Canada, South America, Australia and Europe.

Please feel free to message with any questions.

Jeff

Todd,

Did the NSS exchanges or regional locations have actual printing plants on the 
premises? Or was the physical printing of the posters done offsite and then 
sent back to the exchanges, where they were then distributed from?

Thanks,

Re: [MOPO] Frankie 1951rr 30x40, 90 watchers on eBay, "comes alive" in last 15 seconds.....

2018-01-25 Thread Jeff Potokar
The 1947 pressbook shows the Frankenstein/Dracula combo 3 sheet as well as a 
combo OS that was done.

But it was Universal that handled the 1947 RR, not Realart.

Realart did the 1951 RR.

Re: [MOPO] STOLEN POSTER

2017-11-22 Thread Jeff Potokar

Walter, was this poster bought from you online?

If so, then you have a mailing address to work with too, which  
hopefully might offer some info or lead.


All eyes are posted, and I also cut and pasted your alerts to All  
Poster Forum, so that members and guests alike could also keep a  
lookout and notify you if these posters are spotted or offered:


http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,12547.0.html

Good luck in the recovery and that this "buyer" is rounded up, too.

Please know that I am in the process of filing a police report and  
this poster will be listed as stolen.  Also---very few copies of

I recall that, Glenn.

And remember the book put out, a number of years ago, by Philip J.

stills, shooting script etc, back in 2011.

Helmut,

That vinyl record article is an amazing read. I never would have  
thought that old LPs, even thoroughly cleaned and "brought back to  
life" would ever bring that kind of coin.


There is a small, 2nd hand shop around the corner from me where folks  
donate all kinds of things including records, by the boatload. This  
place then sells them, with the monies going to various charitable  
organizations, so its for a good cause.


I might start looking more carefully at the 33 1/3 discs that are  
literally stacked in bins, off to the side, and being sold for $1 or  
2 dollars.


It sounds like his "album restoration" equipment cost a pretty penny,  
too ($35K).

lover and audiophile (in this order!!!) I recently came across this  
guy:


https://www.wired.com/2015/03/hot-stampers/

He has found enough people who pay him $500 a pop for vinyl records  
you can find in ANY Salvation Army bin for a dollar to make a very  
comfortable living for himself. In my book, this is beyond ridiculous.


In our field, prices certainly go crazy sometimes, but most of the  
top-end movie paper (and the props) are truly rare at least, and  
the best stuff will always find a buyer.

I think there is always a possibility that a print might be found in  
a foreign archive... we can only hope.


It would be great to see, even though reviews from the time described  
it as a bit dull and slow. maybe all this time later, were a print to  
be found, audiences might look past the plodding story line, just for  
the fact of seeing Lon Chaney, in motion, as that vampire character.

auction was. They had about 10 or so phone banks set up for the  
phone bidders and a couple people running the online bidding. Was  
all very professional and had my own paddle and everything. They  
had a good dinner spread as well.


They had a lot of the consignments in display cases including all  
the big ones and the people that worked there were really friendly  
and answered all of my questions. I didn't see too much of the  
paper materials displayed, mostly just the props, but it was pretty  
cool seeing some of them close up.


It's definitely an interesting experience and I wouldn't hesitate  
to sit it in on another one.


The auction did go a lot longer than I anticipated (I was only  
there for one lot in particular - which I won) but it was no fault  
of their own, they just had a ton of bids. There were some guys  
that were there for almost 12 hours when I left after 4 hours.

Some MOPO emails just arrived to me, too, from July 2nd.

So there must have been some kind of snag-hiccup.

Mopolistas,

Sorry for the double-posting about the Polish posters.  I was not  
receiving a confirmation mail from MOPO, so I assumed there was

However, I just got a slew of emails MOPO related at 10:48 AM - and  
both my emails were posted.

Thats what I wondered too

More of a possible, inside job maybe? To know to go after these kinds

It is a chin scratcher, that's for sure.

The thief had good taste, I'll give him that . Usually, they just  
take the TV and all the electronics stuff. i had my house broken  
into 20 years ago. Posters untouched. Guitars untouched. TVs and  
stereos, all gone. Lucky me. I also had the rare pleasure of  
watching the robbers being led away in handcuffs. (There was a  
dentist who had  meth lab going in his basement who lived just up  
the street. We regularly found our mailbox opened and letters  
scattered all over the road.  The police asked us if they could use  
our back yard for surveillance. I gave them the space happily along  
with an endless supply of coffee and donuts. It was so great seeing  
those bastards being led away. And, no, i never got my things back.)
I wish Frank the best of luck. This is a rather small, close-knit

perhaps?

Re: [MOPO] Question About Lost items

2016-04-05 Thread Jeff Potokar

Im sure this parcel will arrive fine.

Delivery times can be speedy, like your other package was, or delayed.

I mailed an envelope from OH to CA over Xmas.. and it took 14 days to  
arrive. Not damaged, not the wrong address, nothing. And no  
explanation was ever found.


So flukes can happen.

And arent you able to use the tracking #, once it gets into France?  
Parcels shipped from overseas to the US, with their own tracking  
number, and once arriving here (if handled by the USPS) can still be  
tracked here in the US until the delivery happens.


If it isnt that way in the reverse, (from US to overseas), that's a  
real delivery detriment.

Hey guys,
I have a situation where I shipped a buyer in France two 20 X 30"

of his mind because they haven't arrived, despite the fact that I  
sent him a scan of the original receipt from the customs form with  
the tracking number, date, and amount paid. He somehow found that  
the items made it as far as Paris.
Tracking numbers apparently do not work in France at this time, and  
I know that some items are taking a long time to reach their  
destinations due to security concerns in that country. (Although I  
sent an item to another buyer in France last week, which he  
received quickly and painlessly.) The USPS has no answers for me.
Question: is there any kind of coverage for this kind of situation  
through either Paypal or Ebay? I think I'm sunk as far as the post  
office goes, but I'm hoping that some of the more experienced  
sellers on this group can give me ideas. I'm having trouble  
convincing this guy that I'm not part of some anti-France  
conspiracy with the US Postal Service. I'm starting to get an idea  
of how this guy's mind works, and I know he's going to file a  
complaint with Ebay, which is the last thing I want.

Any ideas?

None of us are "that old" untilwe are.
I toured the UK with Sam Andrew, guitarist for Big brother & the  
Holding Co., in 2014. We had a great time and a wonderful personal  
and musical rapport. We planned a two guitar tour and were making  
preparations for for it when he was struck down by a heart attack  
in January 2015. I think that's the first time I used the phrase  
"He wasn't that old" (he was 72).
The Reaper is like some white trash trailer park dwelling relative.  
When he shows up at the door, you don't want to let him in, but you  
have to because, in some macabre way,  he's kin.
Meantime, let us not dwell on our own mortality . Let us not spend  
our days ruminating on our own personal sell-by date. We know it's  
coming. Instead fill your days creating good and new things,  
finding ways to acquire that special poster, making ourselves and  
those we love happy, and honoring those great talents that brought  
us all into this wonderful little hobby.
Today's ear-worm for me is: "Patty adores a minuet, the Eiffel  
Tower, and Crepes Suzette, but Patty loves rock'n'roll, a hot dog  
makes her lose control, What a wild duet!"

RIP.

Very sad, indeed.

She was incredible in the Miracle Worker, and I also LOVED her TV  
show (that i saw in later re-runs). I thought the opening and theme  
song were very fun and the show was well done. That she played and  
pulled off both roles so seamlessly always impressed me, more so,  
when I was a kid.


She will be missed.

RIP, Patty and Cathy Lane.

This happens OFTEN for U.S. buyers, too.

One item from a UK or German seller will be seen on the US site, then  
when clicking on the "show more items" link, there is nothing.


Ive then gone onto the ebay the seller is located in, or listing from

That items do not show up in search results seems a common problem  
on ebay.


If you are registered outside of the US, ebay does not show you any  
items from sellers who ship to the US only. These will not show in  
any of your search results.


Yet, even if you are registered in the US or the seller ships  
worldwide, I frequently notice that I get zero results in 'Seller's  
other items', even though listings from this seller do appear in  
the 'You may also like' view. Listings from these sellers also do  
not show up in any of my searches. This is a problem that I have  
noticed for at least a year, so ebay must be aware of this.


Here's an example:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/dbd19508/m.html? 
item=191810394512=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562


I KNOW this seller has several active listings, since I'm watching  
them. Yet, when I click this link, I get zero results, same for his  
completed listings. I am logged in with an account registered to a  
US address.


Please give it a try, everybody, let me know if you get any results  
from this link.

Re: [MOPO] Great 6 Sheet

2016-02-17 Thread Jeff Potokar
I've worked at Universal and have seen this 6sh in person. It is a  
STUNNER!


It IS the real deal.

They also displayed it a number of years ago, when they did a  
screening of Phantom at the Universal Amphitheater.


Carla Laemmle was in attendance and actually posed for some pics next  
to this very same poster that was up on the wall.


It also makes one wonder if this copy is the same one you mention  
that your friend sold? Never know. I can't imagine there are many  
Phantom 6sh floating around out there. And Universal has quite the  
poster archive. If they didnt have a copy up until then, it could  
have made the rounds and eventually returned "home."  :)

It was stunning and I've always been grateful to Chuck for letting

Re: [MOPO] FA: Lon Chaney, Sci-Fi, Pinocchio, Philo Vance & More

2016-02-12 Thread Jeff Potokar
I also thought the shipping prices were very high, and I'm in the US,  
in So CA.


As another example, I saw that one WC, which weighs but a few ounces  
at most, had a quote of 16.85 to mail (expedited) within the US.


Unless something is 13 oz or more, it can be shipped USPS First  
class; over that weight, it has to be mailed Priority.


As a test, I just went onto the USPS site, to mail a single WC, in a  
'large size' package. I gave the measurements of this parcel as 24" x  
18" x 1 inch thick, (since a WC is 14x22) and set the sealed parcel  
to weigh 12 oz. I also chose a zip code back in the midwest to mail  
to from my LA zip code.


Here are the price results:

USPS 2-Day Priority Mail: $7.85

USPS First Class Parcel: $4.34


I then decided to up the same parcel weight to 14 oz, but left the  
parcel dimensions the same, to see if there would be any price  
differences, with it being close to a pound in weight.


Results:

2-Day Priority Mail : $7.85

USPS Retail Ground: $7.84

So 2-Day Priority is not uber expensive. And the point isn't if one  
buys 6 items, that there is combined shipping. It's the idea that if  
someone wants only ONE item, that buyer should not be made to pay  
some kind of over the top ship fee, even if it is sent Priority.


Charge a customer what it costs, (or maybe round it up to the next  
whole dollar). That's what I have done, to keep the number simple and  
even. But an additional 100%+ markup?


Being Overcharged for shipping is a huge peeve of mine and that's why  
i felt the need to comment.


Jeff

Hello Zeev,

The ebay default shipping is set for PRIORITY MAIL, that is why the

I always ship according to the high bidder's request, so, in case  
YOU win something, and don't want to have it shipped via Priority  
Mail, I can ship it via Air Mail and the price I charge is  
calculated according to usps.com, site everybody from all over the

Another thing to keep in mind is that, as stated in my

Re: [MOPO] Question on Storage Bags

2016-01-18 Thread Jeff Potokar

Hi Robert,

Can i ask why the "slipperiness factor" makes these non-usable for you?

I have similar bags that are more this way that I have used for years  
for my collection of Famous Monsters magazine. They worked fine as I  
also have the bagged mags in a storage box.


I could only see this being a problem if you planned on stacking the  
bagged pressbooks, one on top of the other, on a shelf or some such way.


Or will you keep these in some kind of storage box, too?

Best,

Re: [MOPO] Maureen O'Hara has Died

2015-10-24 Thread Jeff Potokar

She seemed like she would go on forever.

Truly a memorable and wonderful actress, from her first US  
performance in 1939's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.


She was feisty, firey and so very talented.

RIP.

I enjoyed her work and was so very glad that she was recently given  
an Honorary Oscar. Evidently she particularly loved the music from  
The Quiet Man  which was scored by Victor Young and included  
adaptations of traditional Irish folk songs as well as singing by  
her and other members of the cast. Her family had been playing that  
music over and over these last few days

The one on ebay looks like it has the NSS info on the bottom left  
border, just below the imagery of the couple.


Heres a link to a large shot that was on ebay, as well as a link to  
an image of a copy sold on HA. Both look tho have the same info  
there. I think it really boils down to what size the ebay piece is:

Agree with Grey here..they look like locally produced pieces, based directly on

The IHON imagery is a bit off, imo.. especially Gable's image. It doesnt quite

Your question, in my view, was reasonable, Tommy.  At MoPo - like  
elsewhere - there are fiefdoms of fans for this or that dealer - or  
for this or that auction house.  Unfortunately, any question that  
sounds legitimate to consumers - which also sounds like an attack  
on these disparate fiefdoms - causes some to reflexively rise to  
their defense, dishing out metaphors and analogies, mixed with the  
occasional fact or direct/indirect quote designed to challenge YOUR  
sanity, e.g., to make you appear dim-witted, dodgy or worse for  
even querying the group.


Everyone, MYSELF INCLUDED, is guilty of this from time to time, as  
we have our faves and biases about who's great, who's good and who  
we should avoid because of documented or confessed spotty service  
or bad behavior.  Even known scammers who have been dragged into  
courts or in the news media - have allies on these boards.  Just  
keep in mind that the lion's share of contributors are merchants  
peddling their goods - and to be fair, most have a lot of  
expertise, e.g., the recent discussion of The Third Man was  
especially enlightening.


But the downside of merchant dominance on public forums like MoPo  
is I can only count on one hand the number of pure consumers and  
non-full-time sellers who choose to contribute to MoPo REGULARLY.   
It's too brutal for them because they fear being attacked by paper  
cuts of sarcasm.  The vast majority of MoPo's small membership are  
customer lurkers who are being offended every week - whose  
identities I learn about via private messaging as a consumer  
advocate.  Even the marketing of goods, which is a primary service  
provided on these boards - is fraught with controversy.  If some  
forum members believe it's done too frequently - or - in the eyes  
of some, too flamboyantly - (as some felt Bruce H. did before he  
left MoPo) - this is frowned upon, esp. benchmark-based advertising  
which compares merchants with other merchants.  What's common  
everywhere in advertising is taboo here - yet the disapproval, in  
my view, is expressed most loudly - and almost entirely by  
competing merchants, not consumers. -d.

Since March 2012, I have bought a total of 182 items from HA,  
ranging in price from $16 to $621. They have obviously posted many  
packages to me in that time, and mostly without any complaint on my  
part about shipping costs. Recently, however, I have had cause to  
question the cost. The last shipment I received was initially  
invoiced to me at $147.06, which I queried. I was informed that HA  
had charged me at Fedex retail rate and not their discounted rate,  
so the invoice was reduced to $103.25. Even so, that was expensive  
for a small box of  folded posters, especially considering that  
the  previous charge from HA was for 3 packages sent together  
containing a mixture of rolled and folded  (approx. 11 folded, 3  
rolled including 1 linenbacked, 3 lobby cards) for which I was  
charged the not entirely unreasonable amount of  $122.75. I asked  
that they quote me for shipping before sending any future packages,  
and I received a quote (comparing like for like) of $221.97. That  
was for 13 folded and 1 rolled (linenbacked) poster, similar to  
that previous shipment in size but almost $100 more. I asked for a  
breakdown of the cost on 20th June but received no reply until  
yesterday, when I was sent exactly the same quote with no reference  
to my query. (As a matter of interest, the value of the posters in  
question is just over $1,000 so not, as Simon deemed to suggest,  
cheap purchases.) I buy from several other U.S. dealers and have  
found their postage costs to be reasonable, and certainly never as  
expensive as Heritage. I have been willing to pay their shipping  
charges, however, as obviously they have an attractive offer, in  
the same way most people are prepared to pay their buyers’ premium  
even though other online poster auctions don’t have one. In this

There would be no reason to remove the logo of the production company

I wrote to Bruce to ask his thoughts on this poster and discussion.  
He wrote me back and also said I could post his reply to MOPO:


Jeff


I personally think it is very likely that it is from 1955 or so.

Here is why:

IMDb only lists a handful of films from Lion International. But  
because we have auctioned a zillion English one-sheets, WE know  
that there are at least 92 from 1955 on. There is not ONE that is  
from before 1955 other than the disputed Third Man poster. 36 of  
the 92 are from exactly 1955 to 1959. When you combine this with  
the stuff MoPo members found online, I think that is pretty  
definitive.


In addition, there is the issue of the poster being unfolded.  
Again, I have sold a zillion English one-sheets, and the ONLY other  
one that was unfolded was the African Queen re-release, which is  
surprisingly similar to the Third Man re-release, because it has a  
very similar image to the English original, except it is not as  
finely detailed, and it has been found unfolded, but it has no  
printer information on it (unlike the Third Man poster in question).


I think I would have an even more definite opinion if I saw this  
poster in person. I know that studios used the same type paper for  
a number of years, and when they changed, they changed for all  
their printing. That is how you can pinpoint a poster to a specific  
handful of years, or a decade. The English one-sheets I have  
handled have remarkably similar paper. If this poster had paper  
that was at all different, that would be even more reason to be  
sure it was not from the same year.


Put it all together, and I think you certainly have far more than a  
reasonable doubt, and I would certainly auction this poster as  
undated, likely a mid-1950s re-release, likely for the  
international distribution. There is also re-release one-sheet  
which is very similar to the African Queen one (no printing on the  
bottom), and I would think both that and the African Queen are from  
the late 1950s or early 1960s.


The reason the poster was entered incorrectly in our database was  
that we never auctioned it. It is one of the tens of thousands of  
posters that Richard Allen owned

Was that offered refund a result of this 2015 conversation,  
Phillipp?


Good for you, if so. That's what discussion and collecting is all  
about.

I would like to inform that Grey has immediately offered to  
refund the money for the Third Man poster. I have been dealing  
with Grey since day one of his auctions buying and selling posters.

I wrote to Bruce to ask his thoughts on this poster and  
discussion. He wrote me back and also said I could post his reply  
to MOPO:


Jeff


I personally think it is very likely that it is from 1955 or so.

Here is why:

IMDb only lists a handful of films from Lion International. But  
because we have auctioned a zillion English one-sheets, WE know  
that there are at least 92 from 1955 on. There is not ONE that is  
from before 1955 other than the disputed Third Man poster. 36 of  
the 92 are from exactly 1955 to 1959. When you combine this with  
the stuff MoPo members found online, I think that is pretty  
definitive.


In addition, there is the issue of the poster being unfolded.  
Again, I have sold a zillion English one-sheets, and the ONLY  
other one that was unfolded was the African Queen re-release,  
which is surprisingly similar to the Third Man re-release,  
because it has a very similar image to the English original,  
except it is not as finely detailed, and it has been found  
unfolded, but it has no printer information on it (unlike the  
Third Man poster in question).


I think I would have an even more definite opinion if I saw this  
poster in person. I know that studios used the same type paper  
for a number of years, and when they changed, they changed for  
all their printing. That is how you can pinpoint a poster to a  
specific handful of years, or a decade. The English one-sheets I  
have handled have remarkably similar paper. If this poster had  
paper that was at all different, that would be even more reason  
to be sure it was not from the same year.


Put it all together, and I think you certainly have far more than  
a reasonable doubt, and I would certainly auction
