Re: [MOPO] Scarey story- not for small children or mentally disturbed adults.. warning may cause anxiety,
Filip, What a nice person you appear to be! The definition of psychiatry is 'the branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders', so your view of religion is that it is a form of madness. While you are quite free to hold that opinion, others are equally free to believe in the existence of their god, no matter what label may be attached to that. Is that not, in fact, protected by the American Constitution? Whether or not Mopo is the correct forum for religious discussion is another matter but, to introduce a movie dimension, maybe you should follow the advice of Bambi's parents - If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all .

Under Bill Clinton 1997, the Senate voted 95-0 that it was not in our best interest to participate in this. This was a unanimous vote by both parties called the Byrd-Hagel act. The primary concern was that it was not binding for all nations, most notably China(the worst polluter in history) and India and would not be in the interest of the US economically(which is one of the things political leaders are mandated under our Constitution to do). A year later in typical weasel fashion, Gore signed it but Clinton never submitted it to the Senate for ratification. This was political theater on Clinton's part so he could say he supported it and people like yourself, in the future and ignorant of the facts, would have a tourette seizure whenever this was brought up. Bush later came up with the same conclusion although he did publicly recognize that GHG were in fact a legitimate issue and signed the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate. This Act is of course more bullshit theater as there is no enforcing body. So basically neither party under either president wanted anything to do with this. Regarding DOHA, there are many countries involved and so many issues such as agricultural subsidies, trade restrictions, industrial tariffs, and so on that no one can agree on anything. Obama has said it should be pursued (or something nebulous) but also said there is not enough on the table for the U.S. This is another example of kicking the issue down the road. It's such WTO muddle-headed dreck that it is hard to even get a grasp on what exactly they expect to accomplish. With regards to Tom's other comments, I see them as someone who is expressing his religious beliefs, perhaps in a proselytizing manner but so what.

[MOPO] Personal favourites
So, to return to calmer waters, the question to Rich about Universal horror posters may have been cheeky but it got me thinking - I wonder what hobbyhorses MOPO members have? By that I mean is there any particular genre, topic, star, etc. that you are keen to collect? I bought a one sheet of the first Durango Kid movie about 6 months ago, and it took me back to my childhood, Saturday afternoon matinees where Durango was my hero.I decided then to try to collect all 65 one sheets from the series, or failing that at least half-sheets or inserts. So far I have managed 6 one sheets,4 half sheets, 1 insert and 2 title cards, as well as various lobby cards and photos. I have no idea whether or not all 65 are available, but I am prepared to be patient - it's a little foible, not something to be fanatical about. I have let some posters slip through my fingers as I thought they were too expensive; maybe they'll appear again at a more reasonable price, maybe not. And if I never collect them all I'll hardly be heartbroken. So, what floats your boat for your personal collection?

Now you need to raise some cash because you're closing on a house or buying a car or you want to bring your children on a vacation so you send your collection off to be sold. That same poster you paid $100 is auctioned for $7 and then to add insult to injury, the auction takes a whopping 75% of the sale price and you get $1.75.. that's right, one dollar and seventy five cents! Seriously, is that the expectation when you send your collection off to some big seller who plies you with promises of the Moon only to find that a trip to the trash can was more worthwhile?

Mudslinging? To slightly misquote a famous book how about the mud in your own eye? As for commenting in public on a public email I didn't see anything from you on Bruce's somewhat offensive 'box of chocolates' ad. If Rich is making a statement which appears to cast doubt on the claims of someone else then I am sure that other person is more than capable of fighting their own battle. It does seem to me that there is a personal animosity between you and Rich which is being aired here. I don't really see what your problem is or why Rich should have to defend himself or provide you with an example when you only seem to be making mischief.

Re: [MOPO] FA: Buying a vintage movie poster at auction is like a box of chocolates!
Just to add my tuppence worth, I should like to make two points about the accuracy of this ad. Firstly, I always refer to the inlay in a box of chocolates which tells me what the various flavours are, so I always know what I'm about to eat. Secondly, your guarantee is not that the buyer will never get a wrongly attributed poster from EMP (as seems to be what is being said here), but that if they do and either you or the buyer recognises that at some point of time then you will offer a full refund. (Maybe just one more point - does Tom endorse the use of his image here?) I really like your auctions, Bruce, but come on, this is a bit OTT.

It seems the owner of the posters had consigned them there, and when they didn't auction them after a length of time, they asked the auction to send them on to us, which they did. Unfortunately, the tube they used was a lightweight single wall rectangular corrugated box, and it arrived with one side bashed, which put LOTS of creases in the posters inside. It is also interesting that the box was not long enough for the posters, so the auction added a portion of another box to the end of the first box, and taped it on.

To be fair to Scott I emailed him about this and he replied - ' If you pay the shipping I'll send it anywhere.' There seems to be some confusion as some of his posters say 'may not ship to . . .

Tommy On Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 4:32 PM, Michael Greenwood newswan...@hotmail.comwrote: I have very recently been investigating this thing as well, Zeev! After last weekend's auctions, I was looking at the sales history of the Nude on the Moon poster I failed to secure, once again, and one of the past sales offered this very option. So, I clicked on it and tried to access an offer page but was told that Heritage had no email registered to my account which is incorrect as I receive my invoices promptly! Anyway, I was thinking the opposite of you guys and wondered if some might have buyer's remorse and want to sell items that possibly didn't want in the first place. Being cheap, my thinking was that maybe they'd sell at a discount but at some point while I was ripping around the system (and I could be wrong here...I am not an expert to be quoted) I did find that offers are to be! I believe, 30% over the buying price to be considered. So, since I lost the poster last weekend and the one from before sold at the same price, basically, I was out of the picture and unable to cash in/out! I think it is definitely a useful feature if you buy and sell or buy dupes to trade and such. If something is going cheap, why not grab it and put it up for a quick re-sale?

[MOPO] Global Shipping Program
Returning to the subject of eBay's Global Shipping Program which was raised here last year, I am surprised that some US dealers selling posters on eBay still use it. I can only surmise that they are not selling many to non-US buyers. It was the misfortune of both myself and an eBay dealer that he had signed up for that, as it proved impossible for him to hold items from several sales and charge one combined shipping cost. I have also calculated what tax and custom charges to my location would be if paid by me locally, as is the preferable option, and it would certainly be cheaper than the GSP option. The dealer in question found the program a real pain and withdrew from it, so it became much easier for both of us to continue business with each other. It seems to me to be just another way for eBay (or whoever) to make money - in my experience it certainly does not make 'it easier for buyers in some countries outside the US to purchase items from US sellers', as it claims. I also think that sellers should be aware that they may be putting off buyers from non-US locations by using GSP, as I for one would not be prepared to buy from anyone with that 'service', and such sentiments were also aired here previously.

[MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters
OK, here's the thing - Bruce is of the opinion that having special Sunday auctions of non-US posters will be a benefit to European bidders. While I do not wish to seem ungrateful, that suggests that if you are a non-US citizen then you buy non -US posters. Does Bruce base that on empirical data or simply geographical assumption? Although UK based I mainly collect US poster formats, with the occasional Daybill or Quad. I would be very interested to hear from other non-US bidders as to whether or not they agree with Bruce's view.

I suppose I may be exhibiting an English-speaking bias here. Also, to me movies are Hollywood ( a childhood memory) and so the posters which best reflect that are US ones, although I am occasionally tempted by some of the artwork on Polish posters, for example. To obtain quads for the older movies is also generally a more expensive proposition. As a small-time online dealer mainly of US one-sheets, however, I find all my clients are UK based.

[MOPO] Linen backing
I just had a look at Bruce's preview and I have to say it is pretty amazing. What surprises me, though, is some of the posters which people have gone to the expense of having linenbacked, and I wonder at what point does that become a viable option. I am using EMP sales as an example here, but I imagine it is the same across the board. 'The Big Hangover' (1950) is listed as 'good to very good' in linen, but that is a poster which normally sells for around $20-25 in that condition, folded. As having a poster backed and foldlines retouched by a reputable restorer would cost at least $120, that means the poster should fetch around $150 at least, but that is unlikely to be the case. 'Striptease' (1996), again in very good condition maybe $25, but how much more would you pay for one linenbacked? Taking just one example from EMP (though it is not hard to find others) - 'Bite The Bullet' (1985), very good, folded, sold for $4 last year, and one in similar condition, linenbacked, sold for $28, also last year. That means the added value for restoration and backing was only $24, probably at least one fifth of the actual cost. So at what point does the expense become worthwhile? I appreciate that, as a matter of personal taste, someone may wish to have a poster framed and displayed to best advantage, and so has it backed, regardless of actual value, but do they expect that the cost will be recouped on resale? Really, I am just curious here, as I would only ever have higher value posters backed. Anyway, even the prices realised for higher value ones do not necessarily always reflect the cost of restoration, something which I have gratefully taken advantage of in the past, and hope I may do so again! Which, I have to say, make EMP's Signature Auctions quite exciting events (no remuneration was made by Bruce to have me highlight his listings, but hey, I'm open to offers!)

Re: [MOPO] On the subject of variability in poster grading!
I rather think this proves my point about having too many grading systems, some of which, as in this case, appear to verge on the ridiculous from a linguistic point of view.. I note that HA have remained aloof in this debate (as seems to be their default position, though to be fair when I have had a disagreement over their rating of a poster I bought they reimbursed not only the cost of the poster but all associated costs with having it returned from UK, even though for very unusual reasons that was over a year later!). I will take the opportunity to respond to Bruce et al in due course. As I quoted Alan in my original post I would br interested to know if he is still of the same opinion eight years on.

[MOPO] Amadeus and Manhunter posters

[MOPO] Poster grading
I am using Heritage as an example, but I hope nobody uses that as an excuse for sniping, as I think we all suffer from a mote in the eye here. In a recent auction HA had this poster - http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=161410lotNo=52344. I noticed it was the same poster as previously sold by them - http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=161253lotNo=50302. The only difference was that the grading had moved from 'fine' to 'fine+'. I contacted HA to enquire about that and received a reply from Grey Smith. 'If items are reconsigned with us, we have a team grading and evaluating each lot for condition ignorant of its previous sale. Naturally, grading will always be subjective to a degree.' I replied that while I accepted grading as subjective I did not think it unreasonable to expect consistency from the same source, and it would appear that the present team is more lenient in its appraisal than that of the recent past, as is evidenced by yet another poster previously rated 'fine-' which has now been promoted to 'fine'. http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=161410lotNo=52506 http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=161246lotNo=53484 I received no reply to that. Now I appreciate that we are dealing with quite fine distinctions here, but grading is important. Having large images to view is all very well, but it does not show everything. Wrinkles do not always show well, and there are no images of the back of the poster so the amount of tape or writing there relies on description. The main problem I find, though, is one of comparison. Is HA's 'fine' the equivalent of EMP's 'good' (and surely 'good' meaning 'not very good' is one of the worst anachronisms)? HA does at least assign a numerical value to the rating, and other sites such as MoviePosterBid and MoviePosterExchange do use numbered grading, but there still often appears to be some difference in values as, for example, MPX seem to be very critical and often have posters as low as 2 or 3 which I expect others might have as a 4 or 5. The majority of eBay sellers are quite happy to describe their wares as 'excellent', and major auction houses such as Christie's simply have an A,B,C rating system. I like the iguide.net numerical system, and should something like that not now be accepted as an approved standard? CGC and third party grading would seem to have limited appeal, but there is no reason why a unified system cannot be applied. It is surely long overdue, as Alan Adler's post of Jan 2006 demonstrates - A unified grading system would be fantastic. It will happen - just a question of when. Look to Overstreet's comic guide and the pages on grading comics and find a useful and well-organized list of criteria that has worked well for the comic world. Overstreet even has a book out devoted only to grading of comics. It has photos of every grade - using a number scale - 1-100 I think -but could be wrong. Check it out at the bookstore or library. There is no reason this can not be accomplished for movie posters - Even though there are a number of sizes - the same rules set forward for grading movie paper can work for all with minor notations. Eight years later but still it hasn't happened, but the idea must be appealing. At least we would then be able to view and compare posters based on mutual assumptions, and also be able to compare the rigour of the dealers in their appraisals.

[MOPO] The Oscars - a slave to sentiment?
I know it's not really about posters, but I haven't read anything here about the Oscars, so I wondered if any others share my puzzlement over exactly what the criteria for 'best film' is? Apart from the big one *12 Years A Slave * won 2 other Oscars, while *Gravity *won 7 awards, including best director. Surely that must be a win on points for *Gravity*? Ellen joked that either *12 Years *would win or else the Academy was racist, and I suspect that the Afro-American dimension did, in fact, contribute to the end decision. Racism does not necessarily have to express itself as hatred, but it is not particularly edifying to see it expressed in a patronising way either. I was saddened to see the great actor Sidney Poitier trundled out to receive what was, given the occasion, something like a pat on the head for his career and being the first black actor to win an Oscar for Best Actor, and am I being in overly critical in the Academy then having Will Smith present the Best Film award? There is no doubt that Hollywood, like the rest of the USA, can have its conscience tugged when it comes to the treatment of the Afro-American community. *Birth of a Nation *is hardly an advert for multi-cultural harmony, and movies like the Marx Brothers *A Day At The Races *have scenes which sit uncomfortably with present day attitudes. Maybe the Academy felt some atonement was due for the failure of *The Color Purple *to win any awards? Anyway, as a non-American I may have a jaundiced view which is not shared by others, but I am interested in finding out what the views of MOPO subscribers are.

Re: [MOPO] Should our Tuesday and Thursday auctions end one hour earlier?
OK, so it would appear that my impassioned plea for a later start has not elicited the response I had hoped for, as the voting still appears to be 2 to 1. As the finishing times of auctions is something I have raised on many occasions, both on forums and directly with the auction sites, I was pleased at first to see Bruce airing the issue. I have to ask myself, however, why Bruce decided on this apparently democratic method of deciding what is, surely, a business decision? I am someone who regularly buys from emp and who has always appreciated their customer service, but I am now wondering if this was ever a real proposition. I know Bruce will probably bristle at the suggestion that he wasn't entirely serious, but surely the question of auction finishing times is a matter for him alone to decide, based on best practice, either for commercial or service reasons. The fact that he has drawn attention to the issue surely suggests that he regards it as only fair that all should have equal bidding opportunity. I cannot blame the majority of those in USA not wanting extra bidders, as who wants to pay more if they can avoid it? Also the question on the website simply poses a blunt question, with no explanation as to why the time should be changed. It is unlikely that all the visitors to the site have subscribed to MOPO or MPF. Bruce's Sunday auctions finish at what is, for Europe, a reasonable time, and he must be able to ascertain whether or not that leads to increased bids from there. Why not just try finishing an hour earlier and see what happens?

Re: [MOPO] Your Website - Articles.
Always happy to learn something new - really appreciate you sharing.

I firmly believe an amateur looking, poorly functional website is no excuse any more - I feel if you want proper money from the consumer then you should offer a proper surfing/shopping experience too, unfortunately many people feel doing it their way is 'good enough' - and if good enough is all you want to achieve then no problems! All that said, I thought over the next few weeks (or so) I might do a series of articles about how to analyse your website data - demystify it so you can perhaps make some adjustments on your website to help improve that data. I realise that I tend to write screeds; I do like to 'test' myself to see how much I can remember what pretty comes automatically to me, so I apologise! I know it's probably too much to take in (feel free to say stop at any time!) so I might simply break it down into bite size portions from now on. I am adding these articles to my own business website (not the poster one) as a sort of help for clients/others (modified so it's not just about our hobby). I also know there's a lot more smarter people out there on these subjects than me and perhaps some are forum members, but as I have never read their posts on these subjects I am just going to carry on regardless - (1961; starring Sid James, Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims and Kenneth Williams. A Peter Rogers Productions, but I digress...). Before I start you will need one study tool...Google Analytics If you don't already have it then get it here (it's free): http://www.google.com.au/analytics/ If you don't have access to the back end of your website then ask your web designer to do it - it generally takes less than 5 minutes to install (he really shouldn't charge either). If you don't have a web designer and/or don't know or understand what to do, drop me a line - happy to help/do it for you, but bear with me, a free helpdesk isn't an instant one Now I apologise in advance but these articles will not have diagrams/helpful images - we know we can't do that on MoPo (if pictures matter, my articles on my business website will however...)

Re: [MOPO] Our 19th Birthday: Not Dead Yet!
Thanks, Rich. 374 is surely only a small percentage of movie poster collectors. I have to say that I was collecting for a while before I came across it. Maybe if all the auctions and online dealers posted a link to MOPO (even if just for one week - MOPO week?) it might encourage fresh blood and more discussion, as well as a bigger audience for sales promotions.

Re: [MOPO] Is there a good reason so many movie poster auctions end on Sunday?
To revisit a theme I listed here before, Bruce's Sunday afternoon auctions are at a much better time for bidders in the UK and Europe. I wonder does he notice any difference in the geographical locations of successful bidders on different days?

The reason I go with Sunday is purely pragmatic. It's the easiest for me(and it doesn't hurt being in between you and HA).

[MOPO] European disadvantage.
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?

Re: [MOPO] European disadvantage.
I do, of course, recognise that it is not always possible to please everyone, but the flaw in Filip's response is the fact is that Bruce does have an afternoon auction on Sundays (around 10pm GMT) and that doesn't appear to do it any harm in terms of attracting bids.
