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

[Richard C Evans]

Poster Mountain and Studio C do excellent work, and their past issues really 
don’t compare to those of Jaime Mendez.

 Jeff is absolutely correct.  Scott, you are indifferent because you didn't 
 lose anything with Jaime.  Had you lost money, like at least 35 people 
 did, I would bet you would feel differently.  The next time Jaime is in 
 financial trouble, who is to say he doesn't switch out your poster?  Jaime 
 made literally hundreds of fakes.  Many are still in the market place 
 today.  Without him, there would have been no Haggard crimes.  Scott why 
 did Jaime make at least 6 Wolf man title cards?  He absolutely knew people 
 were being taken.  He did everything with cash and accounted for nothing, 
 so he couldn't be traced.  Does a man hire a sex offender to teach his 
 daughter math?  Of course not, no one would bring a sex offender into 
 their home.  So why open the door to a thief?  Just because he didn't 
 steal from you, doesn't change the fact that he is a thief.  Using him 
 only keeps him prospering in our hobby.  I have absolutely no respect for 
 anyone who uses Jaime, including people I like a lot.  There is right and 
 wrong in our world.  Stop supporting wrong, just because it wasn't done to 
 you.  Jim

"Fast Draw McGraw. He captured the bad guys perfectly with his sensitive pastel

Weird. Sounds like a knock off of Roy Orbison's Fastest Guitar Alive.

Re: [MOPO] Mopo/f/s SOUND of MUSIC -1969-folded-1-sheet

[Richard C Evans]

I could well be wrong, or Wikipedia and couple or other sources could be. I 
don't have anything really solid.
Possibility I guess that it could have been confused with long Broadway run of 
musical.  

Please say this is true:

"When the film was released in South Korea, it did so much business that some 
theaters were showing it four and five times a day. One theater owner in Seoul 
tried to figure out a way to be able to show it even more often, in order to 
bring in more customers. So he cut out all the musical numbers."

Re: [MOPO] Heritage charges

[Richard C Evans]

Really, expectation of capitalism to be more benign here?

Hadn't noticed that.

I just think most people don't see it as such a big deal, especially if you 
break it down to what it will actually mean.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage charges

[Richard C Evans]

Agree with this.

Isn't any effect likely to be on items you could get elsewhere anyway?

And if its felt to be prohibitive then Heritage will lose out, though probably 
not on something they care about losing out on.

I've sold in the signature auctions and bought in those once or twice.

As far as the weekly ones, never bothered, more inclined to use other weekly 
auctions. Probably a feeling that Heritage isn't the place to be buying items 
at that level.

Re: [MOPO] Last Living Performer from CASABLANCA Dies: Madeleine Lebeau

[Richard C Evans]

Congratulations to him.

But he's a credit thief, a despicable species.

He was certainly not responsible for the design of Clockwork Orange, as he 
claims.

He stole the credit from Philip Castle, who worked directly to Kubrick.

He's a liar, so it's very difficult to be sure exactly what he was responsible 
for.

But it's out there now, including the Clockwork Orange fiction, on the link you 
posted and others, and near impossible to repudiate, so he can die having 
achieved his objective.

There might have been diplomatic skills lacking, but he may well have a point.

Re: [MOPO] UK Antiques Roadshow: Strange valuations

[Richard C Evans]

Paul Atterbury is good on the non movie posters.

My impression of Will Farmer (as well as being a pretentious prick) is that he 
a little clue what he's on about, except for pumping up his inflated drama.

Asked what his dream discovery would be a while back and he named the 
Metropolis 1-sht, and gave IMO a way over the top, record breaking valuation.

Re: [MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] King Kong It Happened One Night Original Vintage Paintings

[Richard C Evans]

Can't see them being for professional use, else I'd imagine the It Happened One 
Night would have been completed, rather than having A Frank Capra

The lettering is rather well done, wonder perhaps a replication exercise by 
someone aspiring to be a poster artist. 

Seem to have some genuine age to me. Lot of work, why do all that if the 
purpose was fraud and blow it by ticking in a Belgian printer credit.

 I'm with Todd on this one, there's definitely something fishy about these.
  
 A hand painted belgian poster would not have been used in New York at the

 I seriously doubt they are from the 1930s, 1990s seems much more likely.

 Ken,
 
 Someone showed me the IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT in person and maybe another one 
 but I don't think it was the KING KONG.
 
 I was told that these were used at Radio City and that's why the R.C. on the 
 back.
 
 My instinct was that something definitely didn't smell right and the Radio 
 City thing made no sense whatsoever, since why would they use some Belgium 
 hand made painted poster at Radio City.
 
 There were a ton of painted repros done 20 or so years ago and these are 
 probably some of those. 
 
 But I like how they found some old paper, cardboard stock to paint on.
 
 Good luck but I don't think they're worth anything. 
 
 Best,
 Todd Feiertag

 At some point during release, Pathe pressed for a shorter cut and a change of

 Don't recall seeing this daybill before, presumably very rare?

 if your intent is to only come around and create trouble - which is

 My choice was to take it off the board, because I see no reason to
 say what I have to say to this retarded fool to everyone in the 
 group.
 But true to his trouble making intent, Filip posted it to the group.

 I have no idea why Filip has decided to troll me, as I had never had
 a negative experience with him that I can recall, I had spent money
 with him on a number of occasions and was happy with all my
 purchases. I am fairly certain Filip never bought or bid on any of 
 my

 So it seems that one day Filip woke up with a bug up his behind and
 started trolling. Of course, he used to troll someone else - on all
 forums. In particular on NSF, and maybe because that person is not

 Wrong target Filip. You'll get what you deserve when you troll me

 Rich,
  
 With the pressbook I was thinking more of the distributor name on the 
 pressbook itself. Poster images may help as well, but as you say, more of a 
 guideline, since they might not have finalised every single detail before 
 compiling the pressbook, and it might not be an exact copy anyway.
  
 Ref Sound Barrier quad. I’m trying to avoid muddying the issue by including 
 quads, as the domestic and international distributors are often different. 
 Who produced and distributed what and where within the UK is a whole 
 different thread! My argument is that British One Sheets do at least seem 
 consistent with their display of the London logo. And of course we already 
 have an example of a Third Man one sheet with a London logo – the “domestic” 
 one. I’m wary of calling it “domestic”, as I wouldn’t rule it out being for 
 both domestic and international use. Yes, the censor rating led me to think 
 first of all it could well be a domestic-only variant, but there are plenty 
 of examples of British posters with a censor rating being used abroad. Again, 
 that’s probably another controversial thread! Ultimately, though, yes I agree 
 with your point - the issue is of any sort of credit, whether logo or 
 written. If I weren’t expecting to see the London logo on the contested 
 poster, I’d expect “London Films International” not “Lion International”!
  
 Which poster are you linking to Bob Brooks? I think the answer is no anyway, 
 unless it came to me via someone else.
  
 Rolled British one sheets from that era. I avoided mentioning that in my 
 “evidence” deliberately. Bruce is right to bring it up as a red flag in 
 combination with everything else, but there are examples of rolled one sheets 
 from the 40s and early 50s, as well as other formats:
 http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19036/lot/22
 My Gone To Earth is also rolled, so if I’ve got one, the chances are there 
 are others for various titles in private collections.
  
 Canada. Who cares about Canada? :)  Seriously though, maybe they operated 
 through their New York office for the whole of North America? That’s just 
 wild speculation though, so I’ll leave that for you to investigate! 
  
 Woolf / African Queen. I’m not terribly convinced by what I can make out of 
 Harris and  Threadgall’s books if you’re referring back to the reply you sent 
 me earlier. I think you’re right that Harris may have “borrowed” from 
 Threadgall’s book – both sentences are very similar.
 Harris writes: “John and James Woolf formed Romulus Films as a holding 
 company for a new distribution company called Independent Film Distributors 
 (IFD), which distributed its films through British Lion and Lion 
 International overseas.”
 Threadgall writes: “In 1948 he left to form Romulus Films as a holding 
 company for a new  film distribution company, Independent Film Distributors 
 (IFD), which distributed its films through British Lion and Lion 
 International overseas.”
 I think Threadgall may just have been generalising based on future events, 
 though, as he later says “Then in September 1955 Lion International Films was 
 formed under the joint ownership of British Lion Films and Independent Film 
 Distributors Ltd, to handle overseas distribution of those companies’ films.”
 Why no Lion International credit on the African Queen GB one sheet?
 I have to admit I’m trying to read those books via Google Books snippets and 
 extracts, though, so it might help to look at the whole thing! Also I’m 
 aiming to concentrate on contemporary (to the 1950s) documents to avoid 
 errors due to the vagaries of time.  
  
 As for print quality on original vs re-release, how about these two likely 
 contenders?

Re: [MOPO] [FA] ULTRA Rare English One Sheet - The Third Man (1949)

[Richard C Evans]

Neither the quad, 3-sht, domestic 1-sht or International are offset, they're 
hand drawn/stone litho.

The disputed International is different plates to domestic 1-sht.

My understanding is they reused those plates (for different posters.)

So if saved (for 6+ years) what were created for originally?

Nothing proved as yet.

Finding no proof that a Lion International didn't exist in 49-50 doesn't amount 
to proving it didn't exist.

If IFD using Lion International for African Queen is false then who did they 
use? Lion's network though it wasn't using the name Lion International anywhere 
for its international network?

The usage of London films logo issue are theories. I can't see how this is set 
in stone ('scuise the pun), without allowance for printer error or 
International issues. (Obviously no mention of London Films on US paper).  
Besides logo doesn't always appear on quads.

Greg Edwards put a serious question mark over it being a RR, too much to be 
dismissed in my opinion.

 David,
 
 just curious: At this point, do you have any doubt that this poster was 
 printed in 1955 or later? In my view, it has been proven beyond a reasonable 
 doubt that the production company listed on the Bidll poster did not exist 
 before 1955.
 
 Also, back in the days, rent was cheap, but the plates, films and everything 
 else required for offset printing was very expensive, so these things 
 would've most likely been saved, at least as long as the movie was still in 
 distribution.

Re: [MOPO] [FA] ULTRA Rare English One Sheet - The Third Man (1949)

[Richard C Evans]

I'm pretty certain they didn't reuse the original plates.
While obviously very similar, it's a different rendering.
Other than changes to text, if you look at the detail the images are 
illustrated differently throughout.
Subtle, but the variances can't be down to differences caused by separate print 
runs.

 Fact remains that the distributor of the Bidll poster did not exist before

 poster. IF the Bidll poster had indeed been printed in 1949, it would have to

 There would be no reason to remove the logo of the production company that 
 produced/made the film, and replace it with a distributor's name.
 
 This, tho, has been seen on many a RR poster, COO notwithstanding. (Realart's

 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

According to chap at Canal relating to Third Man, British Lion distributed 
internationally.  (Under what name?)

And accounts of Woolf's IFD have them utilising Lion International from 1950.
 
Since Lion didn't distribute in the USA prior to 55, then presumably, once they 
started to in 55 after the reformation of the company, they would have to form 
a new company there to do so. 

I'm not convinced that when the company was reformed, and they launched 
distribution in the US they couldn't have reused a previously used name, one 
never used in the US.

Unless of course there's evidence of their prior international distribution 
being done under a different name.

 Motion Picture Daily from September 21, 1955 announces the foundation Lion

Re: [MOPO] [FA] ULTRA Rare English One Sheet - The Third Man (1949)

[Richard C Evans]

It’s in Ed Harris’ Britain’s Forgotten Film Factory: The Story Of Isleworth 
Studios. 2012. 
And also Derek Threadgall’s 1994 British Film Institute publication, Shepperton 
studios: an independent view. 

Which Ed Harris may have got it from.

Just spotted, thanks to that humongous Third Man quad image, that it does show 
a censor rating in the tiny disc on the right. 

Whether or not I knew it and forgot, the recognised Brit 1-sht also has it, as 
does the 3-sheet.

You can see why they replaced that way of doing it. Once you see it.

Got the one I consigned to Heritage off Choko in France, I think sometime mid 
to late 90s.

He also had a 3-sht, as did Reel Poster Gallery at the same time.

Bob Brooks was selling a copy of the disputed International back in 2004. He's 
in Canada, whether or not that's where he found it.

Never seen quad for sale, only had an image of it on a BFI postcard.

I need to read through everything again, I just have serious difficulty 
believing a post 55 RR International 1-sht would have that quality of printing 
and be so close to the 49 domestic 1-sht.

Though I suppose there are instances, like that Invaders From Mars 1-sht.

 I originally had the same sort of doubts as you, and that’s why I researched 
 backwards to try and find if the Lion International name had been used before 
 1955 (not just in US). After all, if British Lion could be re-born, why not a 
 company called Lion International? That's also why I only had *slight* 
 reservations at the beginning – I knew The Third Man was distributed by 
 British Lion in the UK, so it was more than reasonable there might be a 
 similarly-named company called Lion International (or even British Lion 
 International) for international distribution. BUT, as I said previously, I 
 could find no trace of that name, only London Films International.  
  
 As Wim says, I think the absence of the London  logo is also significant in 
 this case. You were right about credits on posters seemingly not always 
 conforming to logic, but the London Films logo on British one sheets does 
 seem ruthlessly consistent.
  
 Helmut is quite right, Korda set up Deutsche London Film for distribution in 
 Germany … which may reveal his naming preferences for international 
 companies!  
  
 Having said all this, I’m obviously very happy to be proved wrong if the 
 evidence is there! What accounts of IFD appear to have them utilising Lion 
 International from 1950? Anything that looks contemporary?

If this is accurate then IFD (Independent Film Distributors) was using Lion

(IFD apparently existed 50-59.)

Re: [MOPO] [FA] ULTRA Rare English One Sheet - The Third Man (1949)

[Richard C Evans]

Think this is a lesson for not putting too much faith in the logic of what's 
printed on posters.

Quads for Third Man, Fallen Idol, and Small Back Room, have London and Lion 
logos.

Lion logo not on Third Man 1 and 3 sheet.

Likewise, Fallen Idol 1-sheet, 6 sheet just the London Films logo.

Tales Of Hoffmann quad, no use of London Films logo.

Domestic Third Man paper, (recognised domestic 1 sheet, 3-sheet and quad) no 
censor rating (?)

 Anyone can see that the poster listed on Bidll is not the same poster sold

 has a British censor stamp, so it was quite obviously used in Britain. 
 
 As a general rule, the British onesheet was used for export use only. Now 
 this is a RULE, not a LAW, so exceptions are to be expected and should not 
 surprise anyone. 
 
 Emovieposter has sold at least two copies of the 1950s re-release poster. The 
 image is identical, but the print quality is much poorer and the re-release 
 version does not have any printer info in the bottom. 
 
 London Film bought a controlling share in British Lion in 1946, and it seems 
 quite likely that they used the company name 'Lion International Films' for 
 their worldwide distribution.
 
 So the poster listed on Bidll is no doubt a British International Onesheet. 
 Also, I'm fairly sure that it is indeed from the 1949 release.
 
 Just my two cents…

 I guess based on what has Paul said, it seems the the poster is most 
 likely to be from a print run for the foreign market rather than a print 
 run for the local (UK market) which is what the HA one appears to be; 
 this in itself would explain some of the minor variations, yet it still 
 holds some of the key features of that HA one, for instance the same 
 litho number, the same colours (as compared to the '49 HA one) and also 
 the print detail is also extremely similar to the UK market (HA '49) one 
 and nothing like the R50s one. 
 
 So on that basis probably the real question is not what the minor print 
 differences are but when was Lion International in the business of 
 foreign distribution. We know they were discussing distribution in 1955 
 as the deputy managing director Victor Hoare was spruiking his company's 
 films into the USA in 1955. 
 
 Of course we simply don't know what country this poster was for either, I 
 have checked the Australian papers and The Third Man wasn't actually 
 released here until about March 1950. At this time I can't find anything 
 about an original AU1SH or Daybill being used at the time (I know there 
 will be general sadness with that news in this forum) and the film and 
 did enjoy a solid run - it also had a re-release here in 1952. 
 Researching The Third Man at that time is a landmine in itself due to the 
 fact it is also an important position on a cricket field and Australia 
 were beating England 4-1 in that year's Ashes...
 
 But I digress... :)
 
 I also have no idea what year the film was released in New Zealand (where 
 the poster currently resides), nor any other colonies and therefore it is 
 entirely possible that the poster was for an original release in one of 
 those colonies.
 
 As to erring on the side of caution, absolutely, we all would like to see 
 items put up for sale with accurate information, that said he wouldn't be 
 the first to miss-date a poster, probably every seller and auctioneer has 
 done that, specially when it comes to the foreign (non USA) paper.

The unfavourable scenario (presumably no one is thinking fake), is that it 
could be an International RR? 

(Prior to that horrible RR which is based on it. I think based on the actual 
printed poster, and no connection to original plates.)

Would they bother doing it for International RR? Especially with decent quality 
printing, (as good as the domestic).

Everything points to it being contemporary to the domestic printed version, and 
any variances between the posters make sense. 

One print run for domestic version, one run for international. Whether done at 
the same branch of the printers or not. 

A different version would require a different set of plates to be made up, 
hence any minor differences with illustration along with required changes. (?)

 Eagle-Lion was under the control of Arthur Krim who in addition to releasing

I tend to consign to Bruce or Heritage when I sell. 

If it's right for the piece I'd also consign to dealer. 

Aside from cutting out a lot of hassle I'm pretty certain I'm getting more than 
I would otherwise. And if they're doing that, don't begrudge them a living.

Other than getting the cash relatively quickly think the benefit of a fast sale 
is that the poster doesn't hang around too long becoming increasingly

Re: [MOPO] WE HAVE SEEN THE WRITING ON THE WALL....

But how, (as in the case of Prometheus, and others), could the studio release a 
teaser poster design online, exploiting interest in social media by purporting 
it to be a genuine poster, if everyone knew there were no genuine posters? 

Though I think the issue is probably less to do with outdoor sites becoming 
digitised, but that the action is increasingly online in banners, social media 
and the like.

It's probably not going to make sense in the future to have outdoor advertising 
telling people to get back to their computer, (or pull it out of their pocket)

 Not sure how this plays out for collecting. I think when people stop going to 
 movies then it'll be tough. 
 
 I'd often said that I was collecting art because the art on many of these 
 posters is second to none. Perhaps it will turn into the same as collecting  
 advertising art. Those are fetching higher prices especially the French ones.

 We may see a diminution of physical posters at some point, but I suspect 
 digital posters will just be one more tool in the marketing bag, even if it 
 becomes the more dominant one. The Kindle Fires of the world may continue to 
 make physical books less attractive commercially, yet they will probably 
 then grow as a niche business in the future

Re: [MOPO] 20 Years of MoPo!

[Richard C Evans]

Very early.
I knew nothing of the Internet til I was working on the launch of Windows 95.

So that's precisely when I first got online.

Congratulations on the pioneering.

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

Ah ha, easy.

My second Peeping Tom quad.
Feeling that it was unmissable in that condition, while being extremely 
cautious and seeking reassurance and asking all the right questions about 
numbers.

I suppose the second one would be my first Peeping Tom quad, but no one to know 
at that time.

Offers around the £10 mark seriously considered.

 all of these forums ebb  flow
 in movie posters it's expected because the hobby is so small and none of the 
 groups ever had more than a few hundred members
 
 contrast this with the CGC comics forums which has 50,000 members but the 
 hobby numbers hundreds of thousands or maybe a couple million

Re: [MOPO] How MoPo has changed!

[Richard C Evans]

I meant to congratulate David on his auction launch, and have found observing 
the whole process fascinating.

I take an interest in the business of posters, and think I appreciate to some 
degree how challenging it is generally and especially so presumably, the launch 
of an auction site.

I forgot to congratulate him. But only remembered to do so when on facebook. 
Which may be the wrong thing to say.

Re: [MOPO] And what about 2015? (Warning: Not PC.)‏

[Richard C Evans]

Thanks, really enjoyed reading that.

I was encouraged to play the piano, and then the flute. Including being in a 
youth orchestra for some time.

I have not found, as promised, that these would be a gift I would be glad of in 
later years.

Similarly, what I actually wanted to play was the guitar, which I did a little 
of but a little too late.

Anyway, too late in a sense, but planning on buying a Les Paul this year. If 
nothing else, it will be a nice ornament.

When I lived in London, I could understand the logic of buskers using the 
accordion.
 
Trapped on an underground carriage, faced with a gurning accordion player 
treating you to an emphysemic rendition of the theme from The Godfather, there 
is the motivation to give them a financial incentive to continue on their way.
 
However, in the street, I'm sure they find this less effective.

And, Happy New Year to all.

 * True story about my tortured feelings toward the accordion - featured in 
 this pic I posted the other day.  (This is a PG-13 re-send - I think the 
 academic list server rejected it because I used too many profanities, so I 
 stripped out a few letters.)
 
 
 
 * Picture a Nipponese-kid, a.k.a. I don't mean to offend, but history 
 shouldn't be whitewashed, as I was a true Nip born in Japan, son of a tough 
 talking U.S. Navy man who forced a 7-year old kid (me) to take accordion 
 lessons - who, like all kids in the 1960s, preferred the guitar because in my 
 view, the '60s was the best decade for music - and the Beatles were (and 
 still are) my favorite band.  Folks, we're talking about a boxy instrument 
 weighing almost 20 pounds, with piano keys on right side and 120 buttons on 
 the left, strapped onto a kid (me) who was no more than 4-6 tall - whose head 
 barely creeped over the top edge.  The accordion I carried looked similar to 
 this:
 
 
 
 * When Dad's drunken buddies came over our house, my Dad would say, hey you 
 sonsofb*tches, my kid plays a mean accordion.  Everyone laughed, as they 
 used to say in the ad copy back then - until I began to play.  My Dad would 
 yell out, hey David, get your puny ass out here and play Beer Barrel Polka 
 for the guys.  I said no way and he said, do it or I'll hit you so hard 
 that you won't be able to stand up.
 
 * Now picture this - a living room filled with a bunch of servicemen, 
 watching a little nipper kid glumly playing Beer Barrel Polka, Lady of 
 Spain and other tiresome accordion standards.  It was like scene out of a 
 bad movie, you know, a little Asian kid playing a big accordion - in front of 
 a bunch of soused G.I.s.  Pretty much as incongruous as an Asian doing Gene 
 Autry or Elvis Presley.  Everyone howled and applauded.  The only thing 
 missing was cheap strippers with mustaches.
 
 * After a few of these episodes, my accordion instructor - (yeah, Dad paid 
 for him too) - told me I was good enough to compete.  So in 1968, when I was 
 11, one month after RFK was murdered, I trekked up to the same Ambassador 
 Hotel in L.A. and entered the Western U.S. According Festival.  I was the 
 first kid out of around 30 in my age group to play.  I played Waltz of the 
 Sirens.  Again, you have to picture a pip-squeak Nipper kid struggling with 
 a gigantic accordion, playing a tune that who knows, could've been performed 
 for the Nazis before they went into battle.  I left the performance room and 
 hung around the hotel for about 2 hours.  We then went into a huge ballroom 
 and visited the results table.  The festival staff looked up my name and one 
 of them told the guy who drove me to L.A., hey, that Oriental kid you 
 brought won first prize.  I got a trophy.  The trophy was only about a foot 
 tall and probably cost no more than $5, but sh*t, a trophy is still a trophy 
 and a big deal for an 11-year old.  For a fleeting moment, I was OK being an 
 accordion player.
 
 * When I got home, I put the trophy on the kitchen counter and told my Dad - 
 I'm done.  I'm the best in the Western U.S. at this and I want to play the 
 guitar.  My Dad said, fine, but I'm not buying you a goddam guitar.  I 
 retorted, but the accordion was your f**king idea!  I never wanted it in the 
 first place.  It's an instrument for Italians, the French and Nazis!  My Dad 
 smirked and said, watch your mouth you little son of a b*tch.  OK, no 
 accordion, you did get a prize, but I'm not paying a f**king dime for you to 
 learn that rock and roll sh*t.  
 
 * I then went out and got a right-handed acoustic guitar from a thrift store 
 - but because I'm left handed, I struggled.  After being unable to master the 
 easy first notes of Down on the Corner by Creedence, I gave up and poured 
 all of my energies into school, resigned to being a nerd - while confirming 
 the stereotype that Asians are good at academics but lousy drivers.  My Dad 
 was tough and said, you better not f**k up school or you're outta here.  I'm

 One more little thing. Not only is SONY a Japanese owned company, but THE 
 INTERVIEW is a Canadian film.
  
 It isn’t really a US film, though it was being released and co-produced by 
 SONY’s US subsidiary Columbia Pictures. THE INTERVIEW was filmed primarily in 
 Vancouver BC and other Canadian locales and was completely subject to 
 Canadian tax and labor law.
 Much of the cost for the creation and production of the INTERVIEW was paid by 
 Canadian and British Columbia taxpayers.

 Shouldn't the United States lead by example? That is by democracy and

 leader sends out a message that this kind of behaviour is acceptable and 
 that's wrong in my honest opinion; and especially when writers try to 
 satirize/label this film as a comedy. Few thespians in Hollywood are 
 qualified to accurately solve political matters of this sort.  The threat 
 North Korea poses to freedom and world peace is not a laughing matter. 
 
 The second point I'll make is the release of this picture from an American 
 studio makes it seem to outsiders that the message, commentary, statements 
 within the film are representative of the beliefs and ideals of ALL Americans 
 as a whole.  Plenty of us American's don't feel this way.  We want to see 
 democracy brought to North Korea in a peaceful, diplomatic fashion.

I also would be sorry for Tom to leave Mopo, especially if I'm responsible and 
hope he will reconsider.

I can't apologise for the vintage poster collecting hobby as a whole, and it 
placing prime importance on originality and condition. Which I still believe is 
accurate assessment.

I don't think the London After Midnight poster or The Cowardly Lion costume and 
their values are relevant.

I don't believe it's about money, as original vintage paper can be bought for 
little money.

I do apologise for my original email and it's abrasive tone, and denigrating 
his stock by comparing it to table mats.
If I had fully realised the laminates/reproductions were such a sensitive issue 
I'd have said nothing on the subject.

Re: [MOPO] WTB: KING KONG LOBBY CARD

[Richard C Evans]

Sorry to offend you Tom, wasn't meant to offend. Didn't think you'd take it 
that seriously.
But I really don't think you should take seriously selling repros or laminated 
lobby cards (and trying to sell them in the benefits) to people who collect 
original posters.

Re: [MOPO] WTB: KING KONG LOBBY CARD

[Richard C Evans]

It's just my experience that people who collect originals have near zero 
interest in repros.
And for irreversible processes like laminating or near irreversible like 
dry-mounting, similar level of appeal.
It's not snobbery, I really couldn't care less what floats someone's boat, 
within reason.

 Ok good Richard thats a opinion...could you explain how that opinion was 
 formed?? and how that kind of view was ever obtained? who are the founders of 
 collecting movie posters? what dates and places did these people set the 
 standards of collecting movie posters? I would like to know as in my 38 
 years of buying and selling no one has told me how it became written in 
 stone. who would be the top collectors in the world and are they movie motion 
 picture fans of the medium or simply investors. If they are die hard 
 collectors and fans whats there background in Motion pictures and how did 
 they obtain millions of dollars to buy them?
 Does the 77 year old former Usa Marine have less of a love for the universal 
 pictures monsters  because he bought some not all reproductions between the 
 1960s and 1990s...I dont think so matter of fact he showed me a lifetime 
 collecion and although Morrie has a epic collection this mans colletion was 
 just as impressive to me.. not becuse it contained so many rare obsessive 
 items but the passion he had was the same as any movie lover from the 1800s 
 on up..you see money cost doesnt get you in the club...the childlike wonder 
 and passion and desire to share it gets you your wings IMHO
 thas what the inventors, the filmammkers, actors, camermen and technition and 
 all that love the art medium share.. only a few feel conquests of selling or 
 buying a inanimate object are the relics of moviedome
 these are not the same although if they have any sense they would share these 
 images with others as John Kisch dos with Black cinema art.. as that gives 
 the collection a educational Purpose..
 
 Because I have to tell you the man I met has more integrity in one finger 
 then probably 75% of most money grubing so called dealers on mopo.. as it was 
 not about the money for him...
 it was about the motion pictures and the overall experience as he attended 
 movie collector shows and saw many thins in person,, he went to lon chaneys 
 grave he met many old stars...and he watched countless films , built monster 
 models and saved the collection for some 40years + and you discount people 
 like that? let me tell you its people like that that supported the movies 
 while you where not even thought of by your mommy and daddy !! and dont you 
 ever forget it,, they are the benchmark of why Hollywood even made these 
 things when Posters where meant to just stimulate people to buy a 15 cent 
 ticket...not get caught up in all this nonsense of selling it... heck Burt 
 lahr probably didnt get paid anywhere near 3 mill maybe like 30,000 to do the 
 damn Movie,,isnt that whats worth something? not a flea infested suit that 
 MGM had in the trash that a junk dealer found. supposedly., so to insult 
 repro's is to insult what hollywood is... its all fantasy and illusions and 
 whether repros or video or anything it all is important in showing the 
 history of films..otherwise why is a  London after midnight important when 
 people have not even seen it except excerpts.? and some Guy just posted a 
 argintine poser of the same art ..is that worth 500k? if not why not and why 
 was it not mentioned as being around? same art different lettering is all...
 smoke and Mirrors  its nonsense.thank God 90% of the world agrees with 
 me..or they would all be buying this foolishness.Ive tryed to appeal to 
 people as many people are left in the dark about collecting.. it seems like 
 the ones that know are liquidating and taking the money and running.I am very 
 happy to sell a collector a affordable poster that wont cause them financial 
 hardship or be impossible to sell once they get it and times get soft...
 I am always open to hearing why people get there views but I has of yet not 
 heard one reason why reproductions are a bad thing if a person loves the art 
 and movie and wants some eye candy or to give a gift or to show others the 
 art of film..
 just as a book contains images of posters a actual full sized reproduction is 
 much more visual and pronounced. thank YOU

You'd want to reverse it because people don't like it. But yes, you can't do 
that, which is a problem.
Check the auctions, I don't think you'll find evidence that they're popular in

 beautiful so I figure let the public interest decide by who seeks the art.. 
 thats also how i run my business. and mix old originasl with new with 
 reproductions so everyone can afford a bit of the Hollywood dreams
 
 I was thinking today what would all the pioneers think..would they agree with 
 MOPO of just focuaing on the originals only and would they respect those

Re: [MOPO] What makes London After Midnight so valuable?

[Richard C Evans]

All the pertinent factors aside, I'm just surprised that anyone seeing that 
poster didn't view it as something in the top tier of horror posters along with 
the best Universal.

And that the estimate was a come and get me. 
(A tactic clearly borne out.)

I didn't know it would go as high as it did, think you need a more expert 
knowledge of that particular area and the players for that, but no huge 
surprise surely.

 I would agree that the Horror/Universal Horror phenomenon is probably
 the base for the London After Midnight reaching such a good price.
 Your point about the film not having been seen by anyone for the past
 70 odd years is spot on - if it were seen by an audience today would
 it stand up? Probably not as we are somewhat sophisticated and want
 more from a film - but it probably would if it were seen by Film
 Scholars...does Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera stand up? Of course
 it does I hear the crowd shout...but does it really? We all have an
 opinion - Lon Chaney created iconic images with his make up and that
 certainly goes to why London After Midnight garnered the attention at
 Heritage. Phantom stands up because of that and the presence Lon
 Chaney has on screen - LAM would probably be seen in the same vein.
 I have to say I would dearly like to see LAM, I have seen Nosferatu
 and many other silents - none really stand up today but of course just
 under 100 years ago audiences were less sophisticated or at least
 expected less than what we have on screen now. Such a film as LAM
 would be viewed as cheesy by todays audiences but all those years
 ago...
 Frankenstein and Dracula were two innovative films and thrilled
 audiences back then - I was thrilled watching them late at night with
 my parents allowing me to watch the horror double bills but now there
 is an element of nostalgia that has me being tender toward those
 films. I love them like most horror fans do - but do they stand up?
 Well those films are seen as the grand daddy's to the new horror
 flicks today and there was iconography and innovation. And certainly
 those films had their influence from the silent horrors.
 I am not sure I agree with the point about the hype - If the
 Frankenstein six sheet, that legendary almost mythical poster with
 such a great story of discovery behind it, if it should ever come up
 for sale what would it reach? We can all speculate, I think it would
 excess all the records...is it about hype? I don't think so I think it
 is about desire - there must be horror collectors who seek holy grails
 - LAM would be a grail and wanted in a collection there is no two ways
 about that. Your comment about Hitchcock's Blackmail is relevant and I
 think such a poster would reach a good price - probably not LAM
 territory - but I would cautiously say that there are probably more
 horror collectors with deep pockets than Hitch...and I don't say that
 lightly. How many people do you see dressing as a Hitch subject at
 Halloween? I would say if the average joe saw someone dressed as
 Chaney from LAM then they would be recognised as a Vampire or Jekyll
 and Hyde type. The Horror images far outstrip the Hitch images - I
 have a book that was published back in the early 1970's by Denis
 Gifford - I can remember seeing images of LAM in there (Lon Chaney in
 full grin) and wondering about the film - nothing was available of
 course. Hitch of course is less mainstream. But talking of hype - The
 Outlaw six sheet had it's hype and look what happened (given there are
 now four of those posters uncovered) - but here we have an iconic
 poster that was hyped and it didn't reach anywhere near LAM territory.
 Why? Because horror reaches more imaginations than Jane Russell's
 cleavage - probably!
 And yes LAM is rare - the fact that the film is lost helps the price
 - if there were 100 one sheets and half sheets etc. on this film then
 the price reached would not have been made. It is rare and such a
 poster has to be treated like fine art - one or very few examples
 exist. 1958 Dracula is rare and has estimates of 12 to 50 examples
 world wide in UK Quad format. Not LAM territory but hey surely thats
 rare? And it is extremely desirable - Iconic image as well. But will
 it ever reach LAM territory? Probably not whether it was hyped or not.
 As for one of a kind posters reaching the similar money as LAM from
 the same era - well what if there were a poster for the Edison
 Frankenstein? Metropolis has done it and there are four of the German
 three sheets...are they hyped? They certainly have holy grail
 status...Invisible Man teaser? Got to be another Holy Grail.
 Lastly - I think

And the same goes for Dorothy's dress.

Other than that, can't see the appeal of the costume side of things.

Ideally there would be someone dressed up in the Cowardly Man costume to

Or the Flying Monkey cape that came up after it.

Re: [MOPO] Congrats Grey!

[Richard C Evans]

I had one item in the sale, and picked up one (very pleased with both), but as 
far as engagement goes, I found watching the drama of London After Midnight 
live absolutely enthralling.

I'm interested now to see what Mark Of The Vampire goes for on Monday. 

Or hear, or read. 

I don't think Bonhams have a feature that allows you to watch the auction live. 
Or do they?

As well as congratulations to Grey, congrats to Todd. Holding a record for 17 
years isn't bad at all.

 Grey really put together an amazing group of posters this time with LONDON

 Responding to suggestions we have updated our site so that images now have a

 We recommend sellers load images that are 2000px (on its longest side) and 
 optimise it to be less than 400kb (to ensure you can upload your images 
 quickly).
 
 We continue to upgrade where we can based on suggestions and feedback.

  This collection should have been sold individually, so collectors could

  I understand breaking this collection up would have its negatives. But the 
  possibility of this collection ending up in a locked safe is far worse.
  This collection was built by a collector and should have been sold to

 Maybe Heritage could buy the collection and feed it through their auctions 
 for years to come, but beyond that, I don't think any dealer with $6m in the 
 bank would be interested as they would already be near retiring with what 
 they have.
 the economics of selling  trying to get back 6m would be at the very least - 
 a daunting task
 Heritage does 8m or so annually and to my mind would be the singular sales 
 possibility, but only if they can expect to double or triple their money by 
 the slow sales of 3-4 years time (I'm sure they could)
 
 I can't see any dealer involvement beyond that, unless someone acts as an 
 agent/bidder at the auction to shield the identity of the real buyer

Re: [MOPO] OT?: $2 BILLION in TWO WEEKS! The Hottest Two Weeks Ever in Art History!!

[Richard C Evans]

A major motivation for collecting movie posters has to be an appreciation of 
film.

The art market isn't driven by any equivalent love of art, but a passion for 
bling.

Picasso, Bacon, Warhol etc are superbrands. The equivalent of people who think 
it's sophisticated to walk around in clothing emblazoned with the brand name.

Movie posters aren't doing too badly compared to posters generally. The poster 
as an art form and great poster artists are generally very under appreciated. 
An unusual result very recently for a Cassandre to reach a price in the 
Universal league.

I don't think these people could get their heads round printing being an art 
form and there being multiple copies, either surviving or originally. 
(Excepting Warhol with screen printing and multiple executions.)

Just can't imagine how you would imbue posters with the kind of obvious cachet 
art has for them.

And the middle class who would be interested, and were when there was easy 
credit are getting drained of money.

New generations have come into movie poster collecting. And with for example 
Bass, while there's obvious huge enthusiasm displayed online, prices aren't 
moving, because they just don't have the money. 

It's really tricky. Other than lining up and shooting the bankers, the 
oligarchs, and their politicians and having a fairer distribution of money, I 
really have no idea.

 Below is a very interesting article from Friday's Wall Street Journal.
 
 $2 Billion in two weeks!! And that's just from Christie's and Sotheby's in 
 New York alone!
 
 Notice that two of the biggest lots sold were artworks of Movie Stars, 
 Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando.  And yes, ok by Warhol.
 
 A bidding war drove Warhol’s ‘Triple Elvis (Ferus Type)’ to $81.9 million, 
 while ‘Four Marlons’ fetched $69.6 million to lead the sale of 80 works in a 
 packed saleroom.
 
 It's not just the art market, other collectibles like comic books, etc have 
 exploded over the years, breaking record after record, while the movie poster 
 market has been relatively flat for at least the last 15 or so years.
 
 There's certainly not a lack of money out there.
 
 Although there are a couple of poster buyers with very deep pockets, the 
 poster market is definitely lacking in major buyers. 
 
 **My question is:  What have the major poster sellers done to bring new blood 
 into the poster market??  
 
  
 
 Art World's Record Buying Binge:  Two Weeks, $2 Billion
 
 The art market just had the biggest two weeks in its history.
 
 Since Nov. 4, collectors have flocked to the world's chief auction houses in 
 New York to buy more than $2 billion of art, a historic high in which 23 
 works sold for more than $20 million apiece.  (In 2009, Christie's 
 International sold only six artworks for that much all year.)
 
 Night after night at Sotheby's and Christies's, the titans of the world's 
 far-flung industries squeezed like sardines into packed auction salesrooms to 
 compete for hundreds of artworks created by the world's best-known 
 Impressionist, modern and contemporary artists.
 
 To win, bidders often had to splurge:  Billionaire investor Steve Cohen paid 
 Sotheby's $101 million for an Alberto Giacometti bronze chariot sculpture; 
 other bidders at Christie's paid $82 million for an Andy Warhol silkscreen of 
 a gun-toting Elvis Presley and $65 million for Edouard Manet's portrait of 
 pretty woman with a parasol.
 
 On Wednesday, Christie's conducted the biggest auction in history when it 
 sold $853 million of contemporary art in a two-hour span.
 
 Len Riggio, chairman of Barnes  Noble, said he intended to bid on a few 
 items in Christie's sale, but rivals outpaced him.  I feel like I'm 
 surrounded by gladiators in this shiny big arena, he said.  Everyone wants 
 to put their money somewhere, but what are these guys going to do, buy 
 another house or keep $3 billion in the bank?  No, they all want to put a 
 little bit in art.
 
 When it comes to what collectors want, Sotheby's chief executive Bill 
 Ruprecht said they want blue blue blue, meaning blue-chip masterpieces by 
 name-brand artists like Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol who trade widely and 
 often enough at auction to represent this market's version of a Dow Jones 
 Industrial Average.  Seconds after Christie's sold Warhol's Triple Elvis 
 for $82 million to a phone bidder on Wednesday, the house sold another Warhol 
 portrait of actor Marlon Brando, Four Marlons, for $69.6 million.  Both 
 Warhols are wall-power large-- Elvis stands nearly 7-feet high-- and convey 
 the Pop artist's signature silk-screen style.  
 
 The art market cycles through good years and bad like the broader financial 
 markets-- art values notoriously crashed in 1990 and plummeted briefly in 
 2009-- but in recent seasons, art prices have only gone one direction: Up.  
 Dealers say that is because an influx of newly wealthy international buyers,

Re: [MOPO] Talk About Timing...

Nice work with the PR, but you've made a massive error regarding the future of 
movie poster collecting.

I can't be the only one paying heed to the wisdom of Tom Martin by divesting 
myself of valuable originals in favour of repros.

If your site was exclusively shitty repros with no danger of mistakenly buying 
an original you'd have had my custom.

 Zeev
 
 there is a good reason that Russian posters have become reasonably common in 
 some ways, one is that now the former Soviet Union has been commercialized 
 and all that stuff, which sat in warehouses all over the Soviet Union are now 
 being capitalized by many people who have access to these warehouses, many of 
 which are fill with all kinds of merchandise that was previously not allowed 
 to be exported outside their territories.
 
 one big area that has seen an explosion of merchandise available is material 
 from the Soviet space program.
 Previously this material (space program stuff) was incredibly hard to come by 
 and as a result, fairly expensive to acquire.
 However, as warehouses full of the stuff have been opened, you can find all 
 kinds of great Soviet space memorabilia, most especially the pins which have 
 some great designs.
 
 in the 1970s-80s, these pins could sell for hundreds of dollars and now you 
 can find them in bundle packages on ebay for small amounts of money due to 
 the sheer availability of the mountains of stuff that is being made available.
 
 Russian posters, which can vary in design considerably from the mundane to 
 outrageous cool depending on which geographic area where they were produced 
 (Eastern Bloc countries, like the Ukraine have the cooler stuff)
 
 what is mind-boggling is the amount of them that are sitting in warehouses. 
 One friend who visited one of these warehouses a few years back told me there 
 were millions of posters of all kinds in many warehouses throughout the 
 region and once the real floodgates are opened, they'll be just as common as 
 US posters from the same time periods, which is larger post-1960
 
 due to Russian export regulations, I believe material prior to 1960 is 
 illegal to export still and if I were collecting Russian posters (or Ukranian 
 or whichever as each territory has it's own and they should actually be 
 described as such. Most of the posters we see I believe are Ukranian) I would 
 be going only for great art and at low prices for post 1960 material, but 
 pre-1960 material there is supposed to be considerably lower quantities of in 
 these warehouses and that's where I would focus.

 Postage is one of the biggest problems for dealers these days -
 particularly
 in sending packages from Australia to the US. There is no getting
 around the
 increases in costs and that is ultimately reducing the cost of
 lower end
 stock even further.
 Here is an example. I recently sold a lot of items on ebay for
 2.99 each.
 Commission on the sale was 0.30 which sounds OK.
 However, there was also a commission on the postage of 1.20 for
 domestic
 postage and 1.70 for international postage
 My postage charges barely cover the actual cost. If you inflate
 the postage
 price to cover the commission buyers will be turned off. Many
 dealers forget
 about factoring in the commission on postage when setting prices
 on ebay. It
 is pretty obvious that it is a complete waste of time in selling
 anything
 for a low price on ebay.
 It sounds like sacrilege to a collector, but it is getting to the
 stage
 where it will be better for a dealer to throw low value stock in
 the garbage
 rather than try and move it.

Re: [MOPO] Christies South Ken

[Richard C Evans]

It's good of them to bother with film posters at all really, considering how 
comparatively little they make from it.

Christies International claimed just over $7 billion in sales for 2013.

Christies NY Contemporary Art auction in May last year set a record for any 
sale. $425 million/£325 million

Christies London sale last month of Impressionist, Modern and Surrealist Art 
set a record for any London sale. A more modest £177 miliion.

Amongst that there was a Juan Gris for 35 million, Picasso for 17 million, with 
35 lots selling for more than a million each.

I imagine vintage cars and watches are also still doing well with the money 
from asia, russia and the bankers.

As far any much admittance there's a problem, or taking measures to ensure a 
decent proportion of that money enters the economy and travels further down the 
food chain, all I'm hearing over here is excuses.

I'd have thought that where that end of the market is booming, generally 
there'd be an opposite effect lower down in collectables, because there's just 
less money and disposable income there.

It will presumably change though.

 auction 19 June-30 June, but doesn't say which location is organizing it.

 Do Christies South Kensington still have Movie Poster auctions? I'm heading 
 to London in a couple of weeks and thought I might take some things with me. 
 Has anyone had any recent consignment experiences with them?

Glad to see a very good result for the Chelsea Girls Double Crown. Especially 
praiseworthy having been achieved with an accurate, honest description.

Re: [MOPO] THE BIG SLEEP

[Richard C Evans]

Just read that with recent topic of condition grading in mind.

As descriptions go, that seems good to me. 

No, I mean it's very good. 

Sorry, it's better than that, it's excellent. 

No, hold on, it's not that bad. 

It's fine.

What I mean is that it's perfectly adequate.

Re: [MOPO] THE BIG SLEEP

[Richard C Evans]

Ah, to be honest I missed out the middle florid bit, went straight from very 
fine minus at the top, to the meat of condition specifics at the bottom.

Not dismissing the rest, just read it now, nice. Certainly have to have that 
part of the sell, even if invariably for me it might as well be Lorem Ipsum. 
Just the fact it's there, and the piece was deemed to merit it is reassuring.

Just thought generally, as an example, that works for me.

 So thank you!  I thought it was florid enough to satisfy all comers.  But 
 what it also
 important is that we are never going to stick anyone with any poster that 
 they don’t want
 and we are going to call them before we ship and go over any and all issues 
 so that
 they are aware beforehand that we want to play fair.

Re: [MOPO] UK/London: storing tri-fold 1-sheets?

[Richard C Evans]

Get them linen backed, it's very good in allowing storage of folded items in 
tubes.

 Anyone local had a similar issue that they solved?  Or know who I should be

 EMoviePoster.com--yes highly recommended.
  
 I try to stay positive in life.  However, I must say that I am greatly 
 disappointed with having participated last November in the Premier Props 
 auction.  
  
 Todd  Dan both asked me to give them some posters for the new endeavor by 
 Premier Props.  They said it would be good for the hobby  it would bring new 
 poster buyers into the hobby.  Therefore, I gave them a few items.  At this 
 point I would say my involvement was a complete mistake.  They did a horrible 
 job of promoting the items, to the best of my knowledge they didn't even do a 
 catalogue, and to this day, 4 months later I haven't been paid for the 
 posters they did sell.  It's four months later  I have no idea when I will 
 be paid by them!
  
 On the other hand, I find E Movie Poster  Heritage to be fantastic to deal 
 with.  I am a supporter of both Bruce  Grey.  I believe in both of these 
 auction houses. I am looking forward to Heritage's Auction this weekend  
 Bruce's auctions in April.  So, thanks to the two auction houses that truly 
 are beneficial to our hobby.  Poster collectors, stick with the tried  true.
  
 On the other hand, avoid Premier Props! I don't want others to have the 
 horrible experience that I have had.   Jim Gresham
