[MOPO] would you buy it?

[Walton, Jeffrey]

So an auction company not far from me, offered this poster.

Creature of the Black 
Lagoonhttp://morphyauctions.hibid.com/lot/16354803/1954-creature-from-the-black-lagoon-movie-poster-?pos=16354802aview=0cat=0hide=0q=457qs=0selcat=0sort=1view=0

I went to look at it to see how bad it was and to see if it could be restored 
at all.  Now I'm no expert on restoration but after I Iooked at it, I wouldn't 
touch it for even the reserve ($2,500).  First is was indeed glued to a poster 
board but on closer inspection it was painted on top of the board in many 
places, including the top left hand portion of the poster.  The hammer price 
was $7,200 including the 20% auction premium.

Now I have no idea if the buyers were actual movie poster people or now but for 
the sake of argument let's say they are notthen wouldn't they think they 
have gotten a great price base on the estimated value of the lot which was btw 
10k and 20k?  I would say the estimate was very deceptive based on the real 
condition of this poster.

BTW I think we are in the wrong paper businessa coca-cola book mark sold 
for $10,200 (including 20%).

Because some poster collectors used to be comic collectors - and because it 
isn't often to find anything pass the $2 million mark over at eBay, check out 
this crazy auction.  A paper item more valuable than any single movie poster 
ever sold.

Hi,
I totally agree with Jim. I think that it's ridiculous to slab photographs 
which I call a plastic prison. Photograph collectors want to admire the 
beauty of a photograph by seeing the patina, feel of the paper, etc.
IMO it's only because of a dealer's desire to make more money out of 
authenticating and slabbing photographs that this practice exists. I am 
against it as an admirer of vintage photography.

Any opinions on slabbed photos pro or con? I personally would rather hold, 
feel, maybe even smell the paper to determine its vintage. I see absolutely no 
advantage to slabbing at all. Thoughts?

Remember the little snippet they used to play at the moviesLet's all go to 
the lobby, with the popcorn, candy, soda, and hot dog characters dancing in 
linewell I'm trying to find those characters.  I remember a home theater 
décor company had them once and I'm trying to track them down.  I'm looking for 
the 3 dimensional characters (not the signs).  If anyone has ever caught sight 
of them or know where I might acquire them, please let me know.

Bonham's with the help of Turner Classic Movies had a very impressive auction 
today.  Scripts hit the roof, posters were solid,  costumes pretty great,  but 
one prop kind of knocked it out of the park.

The Maltese Falcon - 4 million and change.

Clearly the stuff dreams are made of have a price.

Re: [MOPO] Deke Richards

Sorry to hear that...when I first starting collecting, Deke was the very first 
person I called when I received my very first issue of MCW.  He spent an hour 
on the phone with me giving me pointers, other contacts, and people who I 
should stay away from - you know like Kirby, Bruce, Grey - kidding guys...and 
thinking back he had given me the A, B, C's of collecting horror and sci-fi.

I bought a few posters from him over the years and all were of exceptional

I disagree with live auctions being 18th century technologyso are you going 
to be shipping complete dinning room sets and combine harvesters?  This is 
nothing like going to a live auction bidding against other bidders and hauling 
off your prey right after you snatched it.  Sure it makes sense to place 
specialized auctions on line i.e. coins and movie posters but there are tons of 
auctions everyday that people travel to in order to stock up on their antiques 
for their stores and suchthey are not going to be paying shipping on the 
chest of drawers that's for sure

A few years ago I boldly predicted that ALL magazines and newspapers would go 
out of business, and that all other hard copy media (books, CDs, DVDs, etc) 
were sure to follow.

Back then a LOT of people told me that that they could NEVER imagine not 
reading a paper every day, and that no computer could ever replace it.

And a good number of those people have already quit getting a paper!

Also doomed are live auctions, because they are 18th Century technology that 
makes no sense in the present day.

Hate to make predictions, but I think the print edition of the New York Times

paywall that limits readers to 10 articles a month, but there are many 
workarounds for that.  When people have a choice with their pocketbooks, they 
won't pay for something - no matter how liked - that they can get for free.

Conversely, the WSJ, which has always had a paywall - continues to post gains 
with its print AND digital editions - and remains the largest circulation daily 
in the U.S. with a whopping 2.1 million print subscribers and growing.  It's 
puzzling to see the fortunes of the 2 most dominant papers in the U.S. moving 
in opposite directions.  However one feels about the infamous Ruper Murdoch, 
the WSJ - to my eyes, anyway - has not changed into a tabloid filled with 
screeds and diatribes - like you still find in other Murdoch papers in the 
U.S., the U.K. and Australia.  The character of the WSJ has changed visually, 
with color pages throughout and way more features about movies, auctions and 
the arts; but its political biases are firmly stuck in its editorial and 
letters-to-the-editor sections, (which I tend to skip) - and not in places like 
Arts and Leisure in competing national papers.  I think the only other daily 
national newspaper that may survive five years from now - will be USA Today, 
which strikes me as a headline service (sort of like TV) - for travelers and 
people on the go. -d.

So much of my own collection are items I bought from dealers I met
through MCW. I was there at the beginning and for many years, as a
collector, couldn't wait for the latest copy to get to me. It was a
genuine thrill to open it up and see all the fun stuff for sale.
Brian and family are great people and, later as a advertiser, they
helped me immensely making sure every detail was covered. I wish them
all the best of luck and extend enormous thanks for their
contribution to our hobby. MCW was way more than a newspaper, it was
a part of our history..

I always suspected most of these 'reality' shows to be scripted but knew for

PS an old coke machine that had been in the family.  The Pawn Stars guy took 
the coke machine to Ricks Restorations to have fully restored.  If you watch 
the Ricks Restorations show now you will see the guy that brought the machine 
in was actually Ricks brother.  So Ricks brother sells a coke machine which is 
then brought to Rick to be restored.  Making business for his older brother

Hello! I have been asked by the television show  Pawn Stars  to sell my 
Steve McQueen Bullit posters and lobby cards to Rick on an episode. Rick is a 
HUGE Steve McQueen fan and even had a 68 mustang made to exactly match the 
movie car. The kicker is they don't really want to negotiate like on tv. They 
want me to tell them how much I'd sell them for before I get there and act like 
it is a negotiation.

Would you be willing to give me a estimated value you think they are worth?

The posters are folded but I'd say excellent shape using your standards listed 
on your website. The lobby cards are also in excellent shape or better.

I have two of the posters and 3 lobby cards.

I have attached pictures.

I would really appreciate it.


He attached photos of a beat up Bullitt insert and 3 misc. 8x10 stills.

 filmoplast P 90 is made from a white, tear resistant paper and coated with

 to hinge those works of art that do not warrant wheat paste and rice paper 
 hinges. Both the adhesive and paper are buffered (pH 8.7 aged) so the tape

Re: [MOPO] Rare ALIEN Glory book -- less than 30 produced

[Walton, Jeffrey]

I say let the market speak for itselfstart the book off low...if it is 
truly a unique piece you will usually get near what the market can bear.  Aside 
from props on the Alien movie I don't see a ton of value in the paper.  It was 
a good movie but nowhere as influential as Star Wars, which this movie probably 
would have not been made without it.  Star Wars has some movie paper that can 
bring a few thousand dollars...the birthday cake, the mylars, etc...but I have 
yet to see any Alien paper to bring even $500 or more.  Plus when you say less 
than 30..means there is still a supply (29 is still a lot) out there so the 
price doesn't justify the demand for a few photos.

I tried nicely to explain to you nicely about the impressive bid brochures I 
received in the 70's including exactly the ALIEN book you are selling and also 
sited other examples including OUTLAND, EXCALIBUR and others, printed on 
photographic paper then spiral bound and sent to others outside the studio in 
the industry.  

 I am not going to get in a pissing match with you because you're tiresome.
If you look at my original post I tried to explain that some were photographic, 
others offset/printed depending on the needs.  Indeed they are still scarce
but to claim less than 30 printed is preposterous.  If you knew how many 
execs were at Fox (that doesn't even include producers, licensing etc.) at the 
time you would know even that amount doesn't hold water.  Also we received 
these books well before a single poster was printed or trailer 
created..literally in some cases a year in advance as was the case here.

But good look on your endeavors and pricing.

 If you want the promo theater booklet for Star Wars, we have SEALED, unopened

 Charley's marketing of Star Wars, especially the advance merchandising and 
 licensing, changed the way movies are marketed. There were a few films 
 released before Star Wars with advance merchandising and licensing, such as 
 Paramount's The Great Gatsby and 20th Century's Doctor Doolittle but for 
 box office results -- but it was Star Wars' Kenner line which changed movie 
 marketing.

Then place it in another auction where it might get more attention if it is 
truly a unique piece.  But this is what I was talking about...the rarest of 
Alien books wouldn't bring the price anyway...in my humble opinion - and I

Re: [MOPO] Rudy Franchi, Heritage, no Inventory

[Walton, Jeffrey]

I concur wholeheartedlyyou just can't ship a bunch of posters and claim 
foul when no inventory on your part was done no matter if you trust that 
identity or not.  When shipping a bunch of poster I always make an inventory 
and send along a copy of the inventory as well.  So when Grey or Bruce compares 
the list and there is a discrepancy there is at least a record.  What would 
have happened if the parcel was lost in the mail, then try to stake a claim 
with the insurance?

Geraldine

reading your posts as a outsider makes me wonder about some of the things you 
mention in your emails.
Are you trying to get a resolution, or are you just trying to disparage Rudy 
Franchi and Heritage?
Also, do you or do you not think that your own actions are a partial 
contributor to your angst??

Don't get me wrong.. I'm not attempting to disparage or attack you. I 
understand you have a dispute, it was not to date settled in your favor and 
that makes you angry.

But some thing that you wrote puzzles me. Your own lack of an inventory 
specifically.

2 weeks ago, I consigned a large collection of my own to Profiles in History 
for their July auction. I have a book collection or hardcover Photoplay 
editions in dust jackets dating from 1913 to the 1940s with additional items up 
to the 1990s.

I have known Joe Maddalena for a reasonably long time and we have done deals on 
both a personal level and via his auction house. However, regardless of my 
relationship with Joe, when I consigned this collection to them of 800 books 
and related items, there is no way I would have let these items leave my 
possession without an inventory.

For 2 weeks prior to them leaving my warehouse, I photographed each and every 
item in this collection. Yes it was done in part so I could have file images of 
these items for my image archive, but it was also done so that in case of any 
disputes, I could prove to Profiles what I gave them. This is not for the 
protection of myself and for the protection of Profiles. How could I dispute 
any issues without having such an inventory in my hands??

Did I do this time consuming job for my own pleasure??
No Ma'am
I had plenty of other work to do, and such a task only added to my weekly work 
schedule right at a time when I was actually busier than I had been in months, 
and anyone who knows me knows that my work schedule is always completely full 
and that I haven't been having lots of playtime in my wonderful city of Las 
Vegas. It actually left me with just one day to get ready for Cinevent, and 
that one day wasn't nearly enough.

Joe may be my good friend and I trust him 100%, but I do not leave it up to 
other people to protect my own interests, as much as I would like to when I 
don't have any time. If I leave it up to someone else to protect my interests, 
I really don't feel I can blame the other party no matter how many assurances I 
have that I can. Furthermore, if such a situation were to land me in a lawsuit 
attempting to claim some sort of duress, what portion of such duress is my own 
fault for not protecting myself??

I do remember the days when a handshake deal was a bond, but I have also felt 
the betrayal of a handshake deal not being honored, making me wish I had done 
what was necessary to protect myself before any issues arose. Not completing 
such an action is no one's fault but my own.

So the question becomes, IF your claims are true, what responsibility do you 
think you have in not having done what was necessary to protect yourself? Do 
you think this was a failure on your behalf, or do you think that you have any 
responsibility at all?

If you were to sue Heritage, what proof would you use to prove your case? 
Admittedly, you made no inventory, Charlie is 82 and you are also at an age 
where things become less clear to the mind - through no fault of your own.. It 
just happens as people get older. It will happen to me as well probably.

I have thought at times that something is missing and believed I had given it 
to someone, only to later find said item in my inventory, generally somewhere 
that it doesn't belong, at which point I was forced to apologize to that person 
who I thought screwed me.

You did not do what was necessary to protect yourself, how can that be the 
fault of Heritage?

Re: [MOPO] The One That Got Away

[Walton, Jeffrey]

I don't think I truly ever regretted selling a poster-  maybe I have a little 
dealer in me.  Most of the times I sell posters to trade up to something I 
really want, so I'll gather a few lesser posters and help snag that holy grail. 
 Both Bruce and Grey have helped me with my quests and now I have some nice 
posters to proudly display...no Frankenstein or Dracula but pieces I've always 
admired. Truth of the matter turns out, there is always a holy grail and once 
the clouds part and the ray of sunshine illuminates that prized piece and it's 
in your hands, the feeling of excitement fades rather quickly for it's the hunt 
that's the exhilarating part.

I recently looked my walls and made a decision.  See I like the posters I have 
framed hanging in various rooms of my house...what I didn't like was the 
bunches of posters in the closets, never being displayed, basically being 
collected without a sense of purpose in life.  So late last year I made almost 
a life changing decision - I sold most of my stored collection realizing it was 
never going to make the walls of fame. I turned that cash (a nice size chunk no 
less) into something I really wanted...and it wasn't another poster.  It was a 
bar.  A bar almost like the one I was raised in...well spent most of my life 
in...and not on the drinking end...the serving end.  So now I have a full 
working late 19th century apothecary bar complete with two taps, ice machine, 
dishwasher, fridge, and a ton of scotch and other libations of choice and I 
have my posters to thank for that.   I spent over 20 years collecting most of 
those posters and they just took up space in the closet...what I got in return 
was a place we use every weekend even weeknights, a place for family and 
friends to hang, a place to relax, a place to watch the game...a place to see 
some of my posters on display.  Who knew the power of posters?  Now that my 
closets are bare again I'm sure there are a few new pieces on my horizonand 
who knows just what they might be turned into this time around.

Good topic! I have tens of thousands of pressbooks in my collection, and I have 
a firm rule to never sell any I don't have a dupe of. I have turned down some 
incredible offers for ones from specialists (a Chaplin collector want's this 
one, a Harlow collector wants that one, etc).

My logic is that once I start selling, I might keep going, and of course the 
ones I would sell would be the absolute hardest ones to ever get back.

Well one day about ten years ago I let Morrie Everett, a man who could sell ice 
to Eskimos or hot coffee to the Devil himself, talk me into selling him the 
pressbook for Trouble in Paradise.

Of course I regretted it the next day, and I have looked for it relentlessly, 
but no luck.

But at least that was the ONLY non-dupe pressbook I have ever sold and that is 
the one that got away (for me)!

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

[Walton, Jeffrey]

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

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

Re: [MOPO] OT: Disney expects $120 million operating loss due to 'John Carter.'

Pulled the Lone Ranger over cost?  How much can two horses and a mask cost?

While John Carter was in production, Disney had already pulled the plug on The 
Lone Ranger over cost, though even in its revised form it is a very expensive 
movie.

Before John Carter started filming they had already spent significant money 
buying treatments for 2 sequels; money that might have been spent on marketing.

In my opinion, part of the problem is that they aren't just making movies. It 
about greenlighting the creation of a product. What kind of deal can we make on 
the action figures, what's the right time frame for releasing the video game, 
can we create a ride in a theme park, will people come to see the traveling ice 
show, can we get Lady Gaga to sing a song in the film that has nothing to do 
with the artistic needs of the movie. So much money is tied up in other money 
making media possibilities, that the synergistic possibilities and ancillary 
markets are often focused on to the detriment of the film itself. All that has 
to be lined up as part of the film approval process and it changes everything. 
Cars was not Pixar/Disney's biggest or best film, but it sold more toys than 
any of the others; that's why they had to make Cars 2.

would only be natural to assume they would have some sort of lobby card
to promote the films.  Hell I would imagine they'd be at least 40%
larger than their US counterparts and maybe even flashier.  Well maybe
there were all used up as taco wrappers in the 80'sbut if you see

the Mexican lobby card was at one time among the largest populations on
earth.
then people started killing the mexican lobby cards like wolves in
Yosemite.

We almost had exterminated the mexican lobby card, erasing it from all
four corners. But a small family of mexican lobby cards escaped and
stayed hidden for decades in the deepest woods until a scientist
studying the Western Field Mouse discovered a huge troop of mexican
lobby cards that had survived and thrived. The scientist was later
killed by the mexican lobby cards

the Environmental Protection Agency has been trying to eradicate the
mexican lobby card but has been thwarted by mexican lobby card loyalists
and they grow like kudzu in the Louisiana Bayou.

I understand the US Government is soon beginning an effort to eradicate
mexican lobby cards once and for all starting in Spring, which is the
mating season for mexican lobby cards

Worst show ever???   I disagree.  I thought the show was pretty good.

 

Mounting this telecast is somewhat like maneuvering the Spruce Goose.
That they can

get it done at all, given how immense it is, is impressive.

 

And worst show ever?  Not even close.  I guess you guys don't remember
Rob Lowe dancing with

Snow White.

 

And Franco and Hathaway are appealing.  Loved his dress!  And it's

about time that the MOTHERS got some recognition.

 

I think the competition for awards this year was as stiff as I've ever
seen it, especially

in the acting categories.  But in all of it really.

 

I will say that their major comp -- the Grammys -- was very snazzy this
year, although

the lead vocals during that show were sometimes mixed to near-inaudable.

 

I propose an awards show for poster collectors -- THE MOPEYS.

 

Best Dealer

Best Curmudgeon Collector

Hottest New Collector

Cheapest Collector

Best Forger  (Kerry Haggard wins every year)

I felt that all those kinks were worked out and that THIS one was one of
the BEST certainly the best in this era.

And the Academy had the grace this year to bring Eli Wallach  Company
ON-stage--camera for their well-deserved ovation!!

 

Seriously, I felt the show moved well, that the montages and the
digital set worked well, the hosts were attractive and knowledgeable
representatives of the best that New Hollywood has to offer in 2011,
and...best of all, that the show seemed hours SHORTER than usual when it

I don't think this effects the price of the poster at all as long as
they didn't trim the border.  If the linen backing was done correctly it
should be reversible and one could put a new backing to their liking.

linen-backed but the linen has been trimmed back to the edge of the

[MOPO] questions and Heritage

[Walton, Jeffrey]

Once again Grey has put together a fab auction with rarely seen items to
the point where rarely seen items are the norm for these auctions. 

 

Now I have to ask is the recession over?  Because some of these asking
prices seem right out of living on the hog in the eighties.  Case in
point - that Bride of FrankyreallyreallyI mean it has an
estimate between 700-900 g's.  Since when does a decade pass that we
just add another zero to the price.  I remember seeing this poster in
New York a few years ago...If I remember correctly it struggled to reach
70,000 (though I could be wrong and most always is the case but still).
Grant it I don't collect Universal or top notch horror (only b/c I can't
afford it)but given the choice of the Mummy or Bride which would you
take?  I mean the Bride sort of reminds me of a military poster, almost
due tone and if you eliminate the white...it is duo tone and doesn't
even have a picture of the bride - I'd probably would opt for a set of
lobby cards over this one sheet.  And let me ask you this - when was the
last time a poster sold for over a $150,000 let alone this estimated
price.  

 

Do you really think this poster deserves the record price?

 

Also I see a few circus posters creeping into this auctionplease,
please don't tell me our movie posters auctions will slowly be inundated
with advertising posters?

Subject: [MOPO] mopo - my walk For Diabetes. Thanks Jeff Walton !

well Folks Jeff Walton is my 1st supporter of my walk on saturday,

Thanks to Jeff he made 1/2 the goal I was shooting for to help the 
juvenile diabetes foundation.

Just in case you wonder,, you pay them online.. direct,, not me so I 
dont get the donations..

and youe welcome to phone or email them to make sure your safe.  I have 
not been involved with many charities as It seemed like everyone always 
asked me for handouts and then they didnt seem to appraciate it..

then a few years back... I thought... Its not about them... its about me

and about the universe and its about the thought in your heart... so 
thats when I thought... god doesnt care How much.. its the thought that 
counts like the widows mite story... as she gave from the heart because 
she wanted to help///
So many time you see people that feel they need recognition or some kind

of payback to them...
The reward for me.. is to stand up and be defiant to defeat from all the

wrongs in the world

So its symbolic yet it also can make a difference as we know with Bills 
 100 can cover many things... and with people all over rasing a 100 each

its really a group effort.. like rasing a barn was 100 years ago... no 
oen could lift the timbers alone so they all gave the extra push and it 
was doable..

So yetsreday  I walked the park and took lots of b viitimins and ate 
well and excercised to muichael Jackson... I was so pumped that I have 
not went to bed yet and it 5 am the next day...:)
so hopefully ill rest before sat...or maybe Ill go on a 24 hr 
walkathon/ who knows..

But If you folks would help me meet my target of 100 I would feel mighty

encouraged.
I will walk if no one giev a cent as I have seen the look in peopel eyes

of lost hope//
and if I can perk up one kid , one family , to just have a smile or some

hoep to know I care.. thats my misson,, If my walking will inspire you 
all to take the time to just give 1.00
to them  well again You show to yourselves , them and me that there is a

Body of hope.. and it shows to you that if your family or you are sick 
that there is a neverending   body of people
that do care and will also be there even if just a few quarters or even 
just well wishers...
what I hope to do is find a way I can give my years of experiance to 
help nonprofits  raise money .. that woud make me feel usefull and I 
think i would enjoy it..
so slowly I am trying to make connections to da things in that area.
meanwhile  If you would like to help the Diabetes foundation ,, Btw Mary

Tyler Moore
is the spokeperson and also Diabetic...  hes the Link and it has my page

to see how much was raised and who donated.
Like I said  as little as a Dollar would help .. It would be nice to see

your names on there as my cheering section.. But If you dont wish to

give or think its silly... well I understand as I used to also.. sems 
like pissing up a Rope/. But  now I think its a excercise in 
ourselves...
because what Im finding is Unity is the answer to all Universal and 
spiritual and  all
things on earth that are qwrong.. like war,poverty, illness, greed, you 
name it...
By all joining together we can all live in peace and help each other 
have a great life and family...and good business and good food and good 
health. mental and spiritual and Physical

Thanks again and bless everyone  on Mopo and your familys , Tom

We set some great records for the more rare and some not so rare

Highlights we are hoping to include:

 

Public Enemy- one sheet

Little Caesar- one sheet and Six Sheet

Gold Rush - One Sheet and Twenty-four Sheet

Animal Crackers - one sheet Style A

Red Dust-  six sheet

Frankenstein- six sheet

We can probably reserve judgement on that.
With this particular card, (albeit in a difficult climate), it

Re: [MOPO] Slabbed Lobby Cards at Heritage

You know slabbed lobby cards make for great placemats at the kitchen
table...imagine if you will having your bowl of fruit loops in the
morning while looking at your Bride of Frankenstein lobby...and the
beauty is if you spill your milk you can wipe it right off.

 

Actual I hate the idea...it's fine for things like baseball cards since
they were mass produced for public consumption, though I never saw the
point in slabbing comic books just to preserve the cover and never ever
being able to view illustrations.

The strategy for the anti-slabbers is obvious:  Starting NOW, before
slabbing gets a foothold, you need to advertise your lobby cards as
NEVER SLABBED!, implying that that's a good thing, and that never
having been slabbed is a virtue.  Like original miles on a classic car
meaning it hasn't been rebuilt, or unrestored implying never been
screwed up by someone who didn't know what they were doing.   If enough
reputable dealers start crowing NOW that their lobbies have NEVER BEEN
SLABBED, then, even without your saying exactly WHY that's a good thing,
you'll sow suspicion in the minds of consumers (especially those new to
the hobby) about the practice of slabbing.  And by saying Never
slabbed rather than not slabbed, you'd be suggesting that any lobby
that has EVER been slabbed has been permanently sullied, thereby
actually REDUCING the value of slabbed lobies.  Marketing 101.

Re: [MOPO] Is there something wrong with this hobby?

Yeah, even if I don't know how much hay Rita is worth or why Fred is

Channing,

 

Yes, $11.50 for that card is a real bummer.  Yes, of course it's worth a
lot more, and you would have also gotten a lot more for it, had it not
been on eBay.  

I would have paid a lot more for it, but I simply don't have the time to
look daily through the endless mounds of ebay auctions. I think that is
true for a lot of people.  I go through some of Bruce's and Rich's
auctions, just out of habit, and because I know them.  That's about it.
Maybe a couple of other dealers as well, from time to time.  But the
obsessive habit of sitting day in and day out and watching for bargains
on ebay is long behind me.  Who's got the time for it?  A few years ago
it was still a novelty, but nobody can keep up with the sheer avalanche
of posters and lobby cards heaped upon us daily via ebay and other on
line auctions.

In other words, what I'm saying is there is so much stuff on ebay that
people simply are tuning off.

Is there something wrong with this hobby?

 

I ask this for the following reason.  Today, I had an auction closing on
EBAY for an original 1941 lobby card -- a beautiful linen-paper portrait
card of Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire in a tuxedo from YOU WERE NEVER
LOVELIER that I've had for years.  I started this auction low because I
was conducting a sort of test.  I wanted to see if a card like this
would reach its real value at auction on EBAY or not.  Well,
unfortunately, the lobby card sold for a closing amount of $11.50.  15
years ago this card would have sold for between $125. and $200.  You
probably could have made a phone call and sold it for that. Now it sells
for $11.50.  I posted the auction announcement on various sites
including two separate ones on MOPO.  It ended up selling to a man in
NYC for $11.50.

Now as you may imagine, I was disturbed that it sold for so little.  In
the future, I will probably only start one of these low opening bid,
Bruce Hershenson-style auctions if the piece is something like a lobby
card or poster for a major 1950s science fiction film or a classic movie
or obviously collectible poster or card.  I think a lobby card like this
one is still of value despite changing tastes.  Maybe I'm wrong but I
think there are still people who know who Rita Hayworth is and who Fred
Astaire is and admire their work and their films.  However, since no one
in MOPO found this worth bidding on, even if they could have gotten the
card for as little as $12.50, maybe I'm all wrong.

Thoughts please?

Channing Thomson

P.S.  One other consideration -- I live in a major American city (San
Francisco) where I routinely see elderly Chinese people digging through
trash cans all over downtown trying to find cans or plastic bottles for
recycling.  Sometimes they carry big plastic bags of these balanced on
bamboo polls over their shoulders.  These are men and women who are
often as old as 70 or 80.  You really can't go more than a block without
seeing them digging through the trash.  Nobody seems to think there's
anything wrong with this here but it disturbs me and makes me think we
may actually be in a depression rather than just one the typical
recessions.  The economy definitely BLOWS!

Yep,

It was the industry's rush to cheaply capitalize on the last 3D market
that killed it -- they put out all kinds of really bad films that took
little or no advantage of the 3D effect and then advertised them as the
Ultimate 3D Experience. Theater goers get burned on a couple of those
and the fad dies out.

I'm hoping the film distribution business (and the theater ownership
business) is in such precarious shape right now that they will pressure
the rest of the industry to come up with real quality 3D content. If
most of the new 3D films released are worth it, this will keep the
public coming into the theaters for another 10 years or so until quality
home 3D technology becomes affordable to the low-budget consumer. If
not, we're going to start seeing cineplexes closing in droves, since
most newly-released films are now available on disc or online in 60 days
of less from release now, there's precious little reason for most people
to schlep down to the theater anymore.

The last film I bothered to go to a first-run theater in the past two
years was to see AVATAR -- and only because it was 3D. And I used to go
to the theater at least once a week 6 years ago.

was really bored) and there was next to no difference watching with them
or without them.

3-D should have many images that come off the screen and at the viewer,
and this movie had zero such scenes. They better quit this conversion
crap in a hurry, or 3D won't last as long as it did in 1953 and 1954.

Re: [MOPO] Displaying posters without glass / Tony Nourmand Gallery

I can think of a few more reason not displaying without glass

 

Kids, or kids and crayons to be exact

A shaken (unknown to you) can of soda

Friends plus beer plus darts

Hi Neil,

 

Interesting idea. Other than the obvious fading and
flying-chianti-related hazards you describe, the only other ones I can
think of are over-inquisitive insects and exposure to
moisture/condensation (avoid placing near bathroom/kitchen/window!). If
pinning, it's probably worth pinning halfway down the sides as well to
spread the load. Alternatively, I'm sure it's possible to clamp the
edges rather than pin to spread the load even more. All within the linen
borders naturally! Anybody else have any thoughts? 

 

Don't know of suppliers in the UK supplying ready-made frames of that
size without glass. Closest I've come across is
http://www.fastframes.co.uk/cgi-bin/ca05.pl A0 size (with plastic
glass). Haven't used them, though, so no idea what quality is like.
Otherwise custom-made at your local framer, or DIY with mitre saw.

 

Acid-free card should be available from any picture-framing wholesaler.

As for acid-free sleeves - 

http://www.preservationequipment.com/
http://www.secol.co.uk/PRODUCTS.HTM
http://www.selwyns.com/

I've used Preservation Equipment before, but maybe other UK MOPOers can
chime in with other suggestions?

Hallo fellow MOPOnians

 

I was wondering if anyone has a view re: the displaying of posters
without glass; displaying backed posters with the linen corners pinned
into the frame so it acts almost like a glorified bulletin board?

 

Tony Nourmand presents posters in his gallery backed but without glass
and i think they look much better without glare (even non-reflective
glass cannot completely kill glare and are majorly expensive in larger
dimensions).  Are there any risks associated with this manner of
presenting posters, other than fading and the risk that your other half
might hurl a glass of chianti at it in a moment of rage?

 

Ideally, I would like to have several such 1sh frames in situ around my
flat so that i can rotate my collection by simply pinning/unpinning the
backed posters to them.

 

Does anyone know a supplier in the UK where you can buy 1-sheet frames
without glass that are big enough to host backed 1-sheets in this way
(Tony?)?

 

Also, does anybody know somewhere in London that sells acid free
card/acid-free plastic sleeves?

 

Many thanks

 

Neil

I get the feeling many of the artists only know the title, and have no
clue what the movie is about! And so many of them are dark and
depressing. I wonder if that is in any way reflective of the life in
Poland at that time

My favorite of these artists is Pagowski (the one who draws weird
cartoony stuff, like books that are alive, etc). There is another
Pagowski who mostly draws naked women, but it is hard to believe it is
the same person, and I imagine Pagowski is not an unusual name in
Poland.

portion of my collection will be going up for sale to pay for it and I
decided to weed through the stuff I will probably never display for
something that I most definitely will.  The poster is blue, orange, and
white, you know the one, the one used for wildposting in New York, for
the 1969 showing at the Ziegfeld theater in Cinerama, dubbed the Eye
poster, for the movie @!))  or if I didn't have my shift key held down,
2001 - a space odyssey .  It is a drop-dead gorgeous poster, rolled and
in excellent condition. It will be heading off to the framer soon as I
will be living on nothing but stale bread and water for the better part
of 2010 but it was so worth it.

Two posters that really stand out for the latter part of '09 for me were

stone-litho window cards for the silent swashbucklers:  
 The Eagle (Rudolph Valentino 1925)
 Don Q: Son of Zorro (Doug Fairbanks Sr. 1926)
both came from Joe Burtis @ MPA Gallery.
 
Another favorite that I snagged in the latter part of '09 is an

Re: [MOPO] Very OT (but worth reading!): What are we missing?

[Walton, Jeffrey]

I know myself I would have walked right on by without giving it much of
a thought.  Why?  I appreciate the talent to play the violin but don't
appreciate the violin.  Not my cup of tea.  It's nice background music,
sounds nice at a dinner party or in an elevator or even in a subway
station.  And who says he is the best musician in the world?  Did we
poll everyone on earth and Joshua Bell came out the hands down
winner...well they didn't poll me for I had no idea who JB was before I
read this article.  Art/Music is a matter of self and nothing more. Just
because a few stuffed shirts get together and say this guy is a master,
look at his technique doesn't make me want to drink the kool-aid.  Now
if they pasted up say a British quad to War of the Worlds in that subway
you bet your ass I'm stopping and taking a gander...to each their own.

 I was forwarded this by a good friend (I hope you can spare a minute
to read it):

 What are we missing?

 Washington DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. A
violinist played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time
approx 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their
way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man not...iced there was a
musician playing.. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and
then hurried to meet his schedule.

 4 minutes later:the violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw
the money in the till and, without stopping, continued to walk.

 6 minutes:A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then
looked at his watch and started to walk again.

 10 minutes:A 3 year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along
hurriedly, as the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the
mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all
the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every
parent, without exception, forced them to move on.

 45 minutes:The musician played. Only 6 people stopped and stayed for a
while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace
.He collected $32.

 1hour:He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No
one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
 .

 .
 .
 Comment: No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of
the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate
pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days
before, Joshua Bell had sold out a theater in Boston where the seats
averaged $100. This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in
the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a
social experiment about
 perception, taste and people's priorities. The questions raised: in a
common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive
beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an
unexpected context?

 One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be:If we do
not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the
world playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the
most beautiful instruments . then how many other things are we
missing?

 P.S. I verified this story as true on Snopes

I think he got his point across rather well...

They article's title

A Comparative Design Look at Remakes of Movie Posters

Makes no claim that each poster is from the original release nor does
the article itself state such a claim...it merely states that a movie is
remade and here are the different poster designs for each movie
regardless if the movie itself was rereleased at a later time.

I really wanted those Civil War soldiers as a kid but there was one ad
in the comic books that really always caught my eye and imagination.  I
always wanted to get the Submarine that was big enough for 2 with a cost
of $9.99.  Hindsight I am sure it was just cardboard but I would sure
love to see some of the items that I dreamt about when read my comic
books.  You also had the 3 full sets of fishing gear including tackle
boxes, rods/reels and a gazzillion accessories for $12.95.  I would have
had to sell a million issues of Grit (also a comic ad) to get that.
Wow.  you guys really have that mental way-back machine running on

Yes, that was one momentous battle for world domination, when we all

melt into screaming blobs of flaming plastic goo when hit with any kind

sci-fi movies, in the end the Army was victorious -- the monsters did
get the worst of it (witness that today you can still buy the tiny
soldiers new but not the monsters... unless you call those little

thus the people will leave to find the newest up-and-coming band wagon

Re: [MOPO] Fw: [MOPO] Provenance...............

[Walton, Jeffrey]

Frankly I don't think provenance is much of a concern, I think the only
thing that truly matters is if it is genuine or notI couldn't tell
you where I got 95 percent of my posters...and that's including my long
sought-after holy grail - all I know it came from some guy in
CaliforniaI have bought on ebay, traded, purchased from small
printed ads in MCW, the internet, brick and mortar stores, my, god my
head hurts just trying to think where my last poster came from.  When it
comes down to it, what matters more, did it come from Ron or Todd or Joe
Schmoe or is it the real McCoy?  I mean I have a lobby card that was in
the Ramone collection and really what proof do I have of that besides
the auction house told me it was...big deal I wanted the card, it's
genuine, that's all I care about, the rest is, in my opinion hearsay.

 

If you bought a piece at auction and it turns out to be fake, you deal
with the auction house and that's it, then you keep your eyes open a
little bit wider the next time you seek a piece to add to your
collection.

Bruce and all-

When its all said and done, I guess the bottom line of the whole
auction format does not allow for ME the buyer to know who YOU the
consignor are (unless explicitely stated in the auction description who
the consignor is).

 Here was my scenaro in a nutshell:I made a purchase of a
Universal lobby card in a major auction at about a high bid of $1000
last spring ('09).   I know that that dollar amount in value is peanuts
compared to some other Universal pieces but after the fake Universal
scandal broke, I got a little bit concerned about the card I had from
the auction from just a few months ago and called the auction house to
ask where it came from.   I was simply told it was from a reputable
collector and nothing more would be revealed by the auction house rep.
in the conversation.  So, I have no knowledge of where this card came
from except the auction house sold it to me.   For those who might be
proactive in the fallout of this whole fake issue, this is a real dead
end in trying to maintain as certain as humanly possible authenticity of
an item purchased.

 

   Another example.Recently I had a call from an individual with
whom I had been involved in a trade for some material.The piece that
this individual had was a horror piece that they had a question about
concerning authenticity.   We went back to the person that I had
received it from and they were able to verify where they had purchased
it from earlier which satisfied my trading partner who is the current
owner of the piece.Total disclosure and following the links of the
chain of ownership helped to calm the concerns of the person who
currently owns the piece.

I guess that is what I was seeking in my concerns regarding the item
that I had won from the auction house.

You have asked this in kind of a confusing way, but I think I am
getting your point.

 

1) Even though they won't implicitly admit it (for unfathomable
reasons) it is clear that several leading auctions and dealers sold
these fakes (presumedly unknowing) as originals, and at least one
indirectly states they have refunded the buyers they inadvertantly
duped.

 

2) They surely have a record of who consigned what, so they know
exactly who consigned each and every fake they have refunded.

3) Therefore, they really absolutely SHOULD contact the buyers
of any pieces that were also consigned by those same individuals, to
alert the buyers that they MAY have purchased a fake, and that they
should have their purchased checked by a talented professional,
especially if they have any doubts themselves.

 

Could some of the consignors of the fakes have acquired them
second hand or third hand and have only consigned the one fake, and all
other items from that consignor were real? Sure, but until the fakes
consigned by those individuals are identified, extra precautions must be
taken, or this disease will continue to plague our hobby for years to
come, as these so-called buried fakes keep re-surfacing.

 

I take Steven's point to be that the auctions should be studying
their consignment records and notifiying buyers of items consigned by
those who also consigned fakes, or at least letting them know that the

It's been quite awhile since the minty white inserts discussion came
rearing its ugly head.

I always said...why make a fake insert, why make a size that the general
public really doesn't know much about?  I mean right away they deem it's
fake since they are unaware of anything but a one sheet because that's
what they see in the theaters everywhere.  It's like trying to
counterfeit a $2 bill, most people think they're fake anyway, go with
the common, a 10, 20 or 100, or in this case a one sheet.  Would you
rather try to make money fooling the general public or the couple of
thousand serious collectors worldwide?  What's the rationale? Yeah I
know most people are going to say...it's the printing press, you can get
two posters for the size of the one sheet...but if the general public is
unaware of an insert what's the bigger battle here?  I'll tell right
now, if I were in the biz, and I'm not, I'd rather invest in making a
repro of a Star Wars OS then an insert, and I guarantee I'd sell way
more, bona-fide movie poster collectors aside.  


That's one thing different about the universal forgeries; they were
aimed at the collector and not the general public.

Subject: [MOPO] Where to send Universal material to authenticate?

 

Hi all-

  A month or so ago, after the whole Universal horror scam scandal
broke, I contacted Profiles regarding a lot that I had purchased in
their spring auction.   It is a 1948 lobby card for ABBOTT AND COSTELLO
MEET FRANKENSTEIN and is the card of the boys discovering the Monster in
the packing crate (my favorite card from the set).   

   Naturally, I had a knee-jerk reaction to the fakes issue and checked
the card out again closely.   It is presents as near mint with no
backing.  I began to wonder about something that is supposeded to be 60+
years old and is, for lack of a better term, as minty white as could
possiblyh be.  I did not know at the time  the scandal first broke that
the alleged fakes are all apparently paper backed.   I called Profiles
and met with a rather dismissive response that the reproductionists
would not possibly have bothered with such a low-end card (although it
hammered at almost $1000, including the premium which is just about
where this card sells retail).   At the time, I was somewhat reassured
although felt as though the person I spoke with apparently representing
Profiles on this issue really considered my card a small fish in their
large pond and it was not worth pursuing any kind of authentication.

The Profiles rep. did say that if I  still had a doubt, I could send
it to Poster Mountain to have it proclaimed authentic.

 My question is, would a card like this have been indeed not  been ,
for the alleged scammers, worth their while to fake?   Also, I have
not really relished the idea of speaking with Profiles again but was
wondering if  they are still utilizing Poster Mountain for
authentication or using another source if I wanted it checked out.

  Thanks in advance for any direction.

Re: [MOPO] slabbing posters

[Walton, Jeffrey]

I for one (as well as many others) don't foresee a future with slabbing in the 
poster biz...

 

My main reason, while this might work for comics and baseball cards...it's 
because those items were massed produced for public consumption...where there 
could be literally a thousand copies of an item...then yes grading comes into 
play in order to get the most bang for your buck so to speak - this is where 
you have to be judge differently from the pack.  There is a better spectrum for 
all grades across this set.  As we all know movies posters were not meant for 
the consumer, thus most are pretty scarce I'm talking pre-60's here, thus it's 
hard to really compare copy a to copy b since there may be the only two copies 
left.

 

Yeah can I please have my 6 sheet slabbed...love to see the cost for that 
onehow about to save money we cut all posters down to the size of lobby 
cards...so your one sheet now becomes a set of 8 cards each with it's own slab 
number...so maybe your section 5 of forbidden planted is only an 8-6 and the 
rest is rated at a 9-5, just do a search and bingo, you now have an entire 
poster rated at 9-5 that you can jigsaw back togethersweet.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] slabbing posters

 

I don't know if slabbing will come to the poster hobby/business or not, but I 
do know that in the case of comics many of these same arguments were made, but 
that slabbing has certainly made inroads with those collectors (though a great 
majority of sales are still from raw or unslabbed items).

 

Not sure why someone couldn't look at a slabbed lobby card, but one would 
think it is far easier to look at a slabbed lobby card than anything else that 
is slabbed.

 

Can too high a grade be given?  Sure - just as too low a grade may be given.  
Anytime you grade hundreds of thousands of items there is a chance something 
will get by you.  I'm sure that every now and then there are people that might 
even disagree with a grade from one of Bruce's auctions, it happens, but the 
idea is to give a uniform standard of grading (something I hear complaints 
about all that time that we don't have in this hobby), so that when you buy a 
slabbed item from any seller in the world you have a good idea of it's true 
condition and greater confidence in your purchase.

 

In some of the rare instance where CGC (the comic slabbing company) has made a 
big mistake, they have purchased the item back and retired it, or have had it 
reslabbed with updated information, and that is the point - they hold 
themselves accountable because of the fees they charge for their service.  My 
understanding is that John Davis has been charging between $75 and $175 for his 
services on authenticating posters, not only is that extremely expensive 
compared to the prices the slabbing companies charge I doubt he is willing to 
be held accountable for any mistakes he has made (thank goodness dedicated 
collectors discovered the Dracula mistake before it could be sold).

 

Missing restoration in grading?  I know that CGC uses a panel of three 
different people when grading, this helps in having everyone be a failsafe for 
the others, and considering the amount of restoration that I see missed all the 
time in posters (even from some very long-time dealers) I would feel much more 
confident in three members of a third-party grading service telling me what 
level of restoration an item has than I would most every other dealer.  Just 
this week I saw a very expensive item from a major seller being advertised with 
possible restoration as the seller wasn't sure. 

 

Could one of the graders be bribed to slab a fake?  I guess it could happen 
(though you would have to bribe a panel of three graders, not just one), but 
certainly seems unlikely.  Maybe some conspiracy theorists will say that John 
Davis was bribed to give a COA to a fake Dracula one-sheet?  

 

As for expensive, the hobby has already lost upwards of $2,000,000 in a couple 
of years due to fakes, and some experts are charging upwards of $200 to 
verify items so it's hard to make an argument for expensive in light of what is 
being charged now and has already happened.  How much money would have been 
saved if a small fee had been paid and these items were discovered as being 
fakes from the outset?  And of course a great majority of items will always be 
sold unslabbed and even if you buy a slabbed item, you can still open it and 
free the poster if you want, but at least you bought it with a much greater 
confidence that it is what is being claimed.

Why did the consignor use Profiles in History and why is this poster in

I didn't call them a prop auction houseI just found it odd they lumped this

Again I've been collecting since the mid eighties, I had subscribed to MCW, 
been cruising the internet for years, have tons of books and have over 150 
auction catalogs from various auction houses across this globeI have never 
once heard of PIH.  I don't know if I have had blinders on or if I read the

Jeff,

PIH has been selling all type of memorabilia including lobby cards, 
stills, movie posters for many years. Most of the times they focus on 
high-end material. I would not call them a props auctionthey are 
one of the leading sellers of stills and scripts as well. Remember 
their Frankenstein one sheet sale, Raven window card, King Kong three 
sheet  six sheet, Creature from the Black Lagoon six sheet  three 
sheet, Citizen Kane...top and rare posters.
Also they sold the entire inventory of the Hollywood Collectors 
bookstore...possible the largest movie poster, lobby cards, and still 
auctions in one single auction ever. I cannot imagine another similar 
auction coming up soon...PIH has also selling original movie poster art 
for a long time...I have not seen any other auction house selling that 
many original movie poster art.they also sell scrips and movie 
related first print books.
Collectors of high-end movie posters typically research most of 
available auctions out thereand remember there are only a few life 
auctions left these daysBonhams, Heritage, Christies, and 
PIH...among some specialized smaller European auction housesthis is 
pretty much it.
I always had the best service and quality received by Joe and his team 
of PIH. I can say the same of Grey and BonhamsChristes South 
Kensington is a little different. They used to have great 
auctions...too bad Sotheby is outI also miss Bruce life 
au
ctions...got some really great pieces from his auctions as well. Grey 
has been excellent since buying posters in his first auction...always 
amazed of the quality items Grey discovers. Wellgoing back to 
PIH...I have seen the same collectors and dealers on the floor bidding 
at both Grey's and PIH auctions...always funto say the least...a 
lot of fun.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage Response

[Walton, Jeffrey]

 on an item is $1,000, Heritage will typically
open the bidding at about $950 if the reserve has not been met during
online and remote bidding. The next actual bid will take the item.
Heritage's reason for doing this is simple: they feel that their
bidder's time is valuable, and don't want people wasting their time
bidding against a reserve. In the case above, if the reserve is $1,000,
and the highest maximum bid prior to live bidding is $200, whose
interest is served by forcing the auctioneer - and the audience - to go
through bids of $220, $240, $260, $280, etc? Even if live bidding tops
out at, say, $750, the piece won't sell and everyone's time has been
wasted. Surely you're not suggesting that that would be a better system?
With Heritage's method, everyone knows the reserve, and they know that,
if they bid, they're in the running to win the piece. If, as you
suggest, the market doesn't want to pay the price set by the consignor,
than the item doesn't sell It's as simple as that (items not sold are
clearly marked in the Heritage Permanent Auction Archives). As for other
dealers using Heritage prices as benchmarks for their own material, that
is certainly their prerogative, as it is yours to refuse to buy a poster
at a price you feel is unfair.

 

I hope this addresses your concerns regarding these issues. It's really
very simple once you see it in action, and in that spirit I'd invite you
to personally attend one of Heritage's auctions and see the process in
action for yourself. Once you actually see an auction in person, I'm
confident that you'll have a much greater understanding of the way
Heritage does business.

I've actually seen this happen and not at the big auction houses you
mentioned. Two bidders on the floor got into a pissing match and each
attempting to top the other, sometimes upping the bidding price by as
much as $5K in one bid for a poster(s) that was clearly not worth the
astonishing levels it had suddenly risen to. I did question people at
the auction who knew the two bidders and was told that they were bidding
for clients who really wanted the poster(s) in question. I also
interpreted that to mean that they each may be working on a commission
based on the selling price and hence didn't care about how high they
bid, especially since they weren't working with their own dollars.

themselves) should reflect upon how these practices might have pumped up
these fair market prices in the first place.

Indeed, if this N.P Gresham device has been used as widely as
some people are suggesting, what extra padding is in the hobby as a
whole?

Those MOPOers who claim that this is all just a playful bit of
showmanship (wedded to a fiduciary duty to poor sellers who are too
nervous to set a realistic and honest reserve) should enrol in their
nearest high school ethics class.

 

Neil
I said this: 



This is how it's supposed to work:
the reserve is $400, but the item starts at $200. It is
Heritage's fiduciary duty to the seller to bid up to something just
under the reserve. So Heritage might bid $390 to get the $400 bid from a
buyer. When the $390 bid is the top bid, Heritage does state still
available at HA.com indicating that the $390 bid did not win the item,
that it fell below reserve.

as long as that's what's going on, it doesn't seem that anything
nefarious is happening.

Re: [MOPO] ARE YOU REALLY SWAYED ???

[Walton, Jeffrey]

I always took it for granted the auctioneers did what we called in the
old days as Chandelier Bidding...but I was under the impression that
this was done only if the reserve was not met in order to stimulate the
bidders or the piece would go unsold.  It's like starting an auction at
99 cents only the reserve is $100.  Now if this happens after the
reserve is metwell this is a different story.

There have been proven cases and/or rumors of shill bidding from london
to new york to california.  Yet these auction venues are still thriving,
albeit, some situations involved government sanctions as settlements.
But Heritage has surpassed their competition in the movie poster field.
Is there a correlation?

 

Now Heritage is in the spotlight.

ps---  my BRIEF answer:  If i see a poster that is on my Want List, i
will consider it.  Some of my favorite posters did come from Heritage,
and, at the time, they were prices which made me feel
comfortable---although i can say that in several instances my winning
bids at Signature equaled my maximum bid on a particular lot.

Just looking at his small photo, the poster doesn't look right.  The

and not very clear.
 
Notice his Return Policy?  

Satisfaction Guaranteed or Full Refund...Item must be returned within 3
days of receipt.

 

As anybody knows, that is not nearly enough time to have the poster
checked out by an expert to see if it's real or not and of course, the
seller knows this and purposely has that short return window of time.

 

I should also note as it's already been mentioned on MoPo, that this
seller has already allegedly sold many FAKES to unwary collectors and

The Auction Houses usually provides a warranty that is selling originals
not fakes and if the auction house unwittingly sells a fake, they should
have the responsibility of making good on it. That's why auction houses
have insurance.  It's ridiculous to presume that an auction house has no
responsibility to the buyer. Furthermore the buyer's legal relationship
is to the auction house, not to the person who consigned the bogus item
and in this country you sue the person to whom you've entered into a
contract, not a third party. FRANC

purchased one or two items and feel powerless to do anything about them

What is the responsibility of those auction houses or dealers

If some auction houses or dealers are making restitution to

restitution is made by the middlemen, or to prosecute those who made the

[MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

[Walton, Jeffrey]

It used to be fun hunting for the next poster, even hunting on the
internet used to be funnot anymore...it seems a lot of dealers are
afraid of fair market valueagain I use the same scenario as I have
done before...if you go to movie posters on ebay list by the highest
posters first, auctions only, you'll see what I mean.  You have to
scroll pretty long for anyone selling something without an extremely
high reserve, you'll have to scroll pretty long to find someone actually
bidding on a posterthe only one that seems to be generating some
interest is a saul bass window card.  Don't even get me started on the
buy it nows...3 breakfast at tiffany's one sheet the cheapest starting
at $7500 most say rare...rare? Really I just saw three in three
seconds...show me a British quad for war of the worlds and I'll show you
rarean insert for 50ft woman for 10 g'sdidn't a one sheet sell
for a lot less just less than one week ago.

 

Go ahead nail me to a cross  but I've become so disenchanted lately with
the dealer mentality (and it's not just movie posters).  Hey I
understand about profit, cost analysis, and all that jazz ...I've said
this before and I'll say it again...profit is one thing...blood from a
stone is anothernow everyone seems to wait for their piece to bring
in the next big coinageyears gone bye, one would buy a poster for
$25, sell if for $75...a tidy profit...now if one buys a poster for $25
and hears one just for $500guess what the new price of the poster
they have in stock...$500or even $450 to make it seem like a
bargain.  

 

I used to add probably a poster once a month to my collection...not
anymore...it's not that I have it all, I see a ton of material out there
that warrants a bid,  it's just everyone wants a kings ransom for it now
so guess what...they can keep in their stock rooms and I'll find
something else to keep the economy rolling.

 

Bruce aside, why can't we bring back fair market value, why be afraid of
the knowledge of the collectorif you want to sell a poster let the
people decide on the price it should sell...dealers should deal..not be
in retail.

the film, beer and wine service during the film (you didn't even have to
leave your seats), and dessert and cordials after the film...all for
10USD.

 

During the Euro conversion there was suppose to be this exchange rate to
keep the same sort of inflation rate going...except Amsterdam became
this very expensive city overnight - literallymost merchants never
really did the conversion...so on menus if something was 5 Guilders
approx 2.5USD, it went to 5 EURO instantly (about 7 USD) and even higher
depending when you were thereso it more than doubled in price.

I agree. Another problem with this movie is that you unfortunately can
experience it as a serious drama/love story or as a comedy.

Another movie that loses it's magic at your home theater and suffers
from the same problem is Showgirls by Paul Verhoeven.

Empire of the Sun is indeed a great movie. I remember going to see it
when I was around twelve years old and did not have enough cash to buy a
ticket.

Movies at that time were usually around 12.50 in Dutch Guilders, but
because this movie was longer it was 16.50 and I only had 16 Guilders,
so I had to return the next day to see it.

The funny thing is that matinee showings in the US are currently cheaper
than they were back in the good old Guilder era in the Netherlands.
Don't even start me about that Euro.

Re: [MOPO] Alien Fake Lobby Card Set Revealed

[Walton, Jeffrey]

Sean

 

I'm curious on how exactly you came to this conclusion based on the two
set comparison?

 

Reason I'm questioning is that my Alien lobby card set was the second or
third acquirement into my collection.  It was given to me by a friend
who managed a theater.  He had about 10 sets he saved but I only took
the Alien set since this was in my genre and it was the first R rated
film that I saw -ahh the memories.  Most of the cards are very clean
with the exception of two that have multiple pin holes - he said he only
used to hang the best cards of a set.  My set was acquired around
1982/83.  My #8 card is how you described FAKE   And only this one
stands out as being different.  I highly doubt that this is a repro set,
given the source and the timeframe...and that it is only one card that
differs.  But if one card is different in my set I'm sure there are sets
out there that differ as well by one or two cards.

 

Though I do not classify myself as an expert, I have been collecting for
more than 20 years.

Subject: [MOPO] Alien Fake Lobby Card Set Revealed

 

I recently had a chance to do a nice side-by-side comparison of a real
Alien (1979) Lobby Card set and a fake Alien lobby card set.  Hopefully
this guide will help anyone looking for a set to stay away from the
repros and be able to spot them even in a small eBay photo (there are at
least five different sellers on eBay right now offering the fake sets).

Every single one of the cards in the fake set is quite darker than the
original set, and every single one of the cards in the fake set has also
had some of the photo details trimmed off on the left/right sides when
compared to the originals.  On a few of the cards, the images have been
enlarged to fit the cards, but on a few some photoshopping was done and
one has quite a comical affect.  All of the cards have differences from
the originals, but I am going to focus on 5 easy tells to help you
out.

Lobby Card #7 - Crew Portrait
I start with this one, as it is one of the easiest ways to spot a fake.
Basically if Harry Dean Stanton has an extra right arm floating next to
him, you have a fake card.  (there are also some photoshop effects on
the right side).  The last few centimeters of the image on the left side
of the card were duplicated to extend the image to the borders, and in
doing so they made a duplicate image of part of Harry Dean Stanton's
arm/jacket (and then darkened it so it is harder to tell).

Lobby Card #8 - in the Ship
The easy tell on this card is the light board behind Sigourney Weaver's
head.  If you have a card where the light extends all the way to the
border,  you have a fake.  On the original the light ends just before
the border, while on the fake the edge has once again been photoshopped
to extend the cropped image to the border.

Card #1 - on the planet surface
This card is just a cropped image, so there is missing artwork on the
left and right borders.  On the right side not as much as the alien
machinery can be seen, while on the left the easiest tell is the small
white triangular piece coming into the middle of the card on the arm of
the spacesuit.  On the original it is much longer than on the fake.

Card #4 - Alien Gunner
Once again slightly trimmed art and some photoshop effects.  When
looking at the alien wall design on the right edge of the card, on the
original not only is there slightly more image, but the edge design
tends to slant slightly up at an angle, while on the fake cards it just
extends straight for the last few centimeters.

This week, we are asking you for the most evil movie villain. We are

epitome of evil. 
 IMPORTANT! You might scan over the list and see Tony Perkins in Psycho

the entire list very closely, and see if you don't think that there are clearly 
more evil villains than he! You are welcome to vote for any of the villains

How 

[MOPO] nobody seems to bid on posters anymore

[Walton, Jeffrey]

In eBay...

 

I always like to peruse eBay for higher price posters, so I make my way
to 

 

Entertainment Memorabilia Movie Memorabilia Posters

 

I order by highest prices first, then hit the tab for auctions only

 

In the first 150 posters there are only 3 posters with bidsas we get
cheaper in price the next 100 posters, 10 percent have some sort of bid
but it still does question the direction of ebay these days.

 

I guess nobody really likes to do auctions anymore and everybody is
trying to hedge their investments with buy-it-nows or very high starting
bidsreally is a shame...I can't remember the last time I bought a
great piece to add to my collection on eBay.  Everyone wants top dollar
these days and b/c someone once sold Creature from the Black Lagoon for
$2 doesn't mean they are all worth that.

 

It used to be in the days before ebay that a dealer would buy a poster
and turn it around quickly and make a little profit.  Sure they would be
a little peeved when they heard someone else just sold one for almost
double that but that was the name of the game.  Today if word gets out
about a good poster price it seems there is an instant wave that
automatically raises the price of the posters across the land and
instead of trying to make a tidy little profit they all sit and wait for
the next big score.  And it's not just the poster marketI see it all
the time in the antique business.  Two years ago I was at this antique
market and my wife saw a dealer purchase this piece of pottery for $10,
now in great condition it was worth about $200 at auction.  She told me
about it and it was in okay condition.  I asked how much he wanted for
it. $350, he said...and this was about 30 minutes later after he
bought it.  I said I'll give you a $100.  No deal.  Just last week I
went back to the same market and this piece is still there for his
original asking price and he won't budge.  In past times a $90 profit in
30 minutes made the world go round...so now it just sits there taking up
space because in another stall just down the corner is the same exact
piece for the same asking price...go figure...and I bet if I go back in
two more years this piece will still be sitting there.

 

It used to be fun collecting stuff...calling around and asking for the
price trying to find your own bargain of the centuryo this
dealer has this poster for hundreds less...I'll take it or finding the
that bargain in the innocent eBay days.  Now there is no more fun...it's
basically the same asking price everywhere...it's like walking into
Walmart or Target.

 

Now this is just my opinion but it's my opinion as a collector not as a
dealer and I have a right to my opinion...but it really does seem like
all the bargains are gone and gone for good.

See that's the differenceyou started at 99 cents...and let the
auctions take care of themselvesmost auctions for movie posters are
no longer this way b/c dealers do not want to lose their so-called
investments and understandably so 

 

to me ebay is deadI used to buy about 10 good posters a year on the
site...now I really can't tell you the last time I bought a poster from
this site.it's not that I have everything I want either...just not

I respectfully disagree.

 

Yes, ebay has changed and it will never be the sameand it IS
primarily a fixed price place for vintage movie
posters...howeverno reserve auctions are still alive and
well. We just finished over 160 no reserve auctions this past
week..all started at 99 cents.and almost all of them performed
at or above our expectations...even in this down

vintage (non-film paper) items as well as every imaginable knick knack,
lamp, figure, decanter and anything else that family members could find
on elvis to give him on gift occasions.  I am hoping items will sell
well enough to build up her bank account to live on (along with a truck
load of other collectibles he obsessed on).  She is now living on his
pension because she is too independent to move in with a son that loves
her so this is the next best thing I can do to help.  I can't say I look
forward to driving a U-haul across the country on a 4 day trip but just
getting to go through all his collections without him over my shoulder
telling me to put things right back where I found will be less nerve
racking (though I'll be hearing his voice in my ear the whole time).
Ha!

The simple answer is yesI will go look at your auctions now :-)   

 

But also yes...just too damn biga one sheet takes less room...even
when it's stored in a cabinet...it's still easier to show friends a one
sheet when it's folded up then to try and find the time and the room to
show them a 6 six.

Subject: [MOPO] A couple of questions about YOUR opinion of three-sheets
and six-sheets

 

I am currently auctioning three-sheets and six-sheets so of course they
are on my mind!

 

Here are my questions:

1) I see a fair number of the three-sheets and six-sheets where they are
currently below the price of the corresponding one-sheet! Is that often
the case, and if so, why do you think this happens?

 

2) I sometimes hear collectors say, I would buy three-sheets and
six-sheets, EXCEPT they are too big for my walls. But many of these
same collectors have HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of one-sheets that sit folded
up in boxes, and are never displayed. So, if it is going to sit in a
box, what difference do they make if they are one-sheets, three-sheets
or six-sheets?

 

3) Some ad campaigns have three-sheets and six-sheets where they are
simply stretched-out versions of the one-sheets (like Forbidden
Planet), but other times the three-sheets and six-sheets have completely
different images. I think that when the three-sheets and six-sheets have
similar images to the one-sheet they should sell for somewhat more (due
to the greater size and rarity), but if they have superior images they
should sell for a lot more, and when they have inferior images (like in
the case of The Sin of Nora Moran three-sheet, which is nowhere as nice
as the one-sheet) they should sell for a lot less. What do YOU think?

 Many of these 'clunkers' have been shown in Middle
 Eastern countries. 
 
 However, the studios (not only from the US) would usually
 send their domestic posters over. 
 For all I know, there were no 'international
 styles' for this market in the 1950s. 
 
 The 'strange writing' the seller noticed could have
 been Arabian or Farsi.

  Printed in USA but made for the foreign market (which
 foreign market was
  releasing this clunker?) - I call BS on that.

That's a tough choice to make...I myself hate fadenot easy to fix
eitherto me I can live with the dings, tears, scratches if the
colors are crispbut to each their own...put them side by side and

Fortunately I never find myself in this situation, once I have a poster

Subject: [MOPO] Which one to keep?

 

collectors know this dilemma:  you have a poster, see another copy on
ebay, buy it because you believe it is in better condition than you own
presently

Gentleman's Agreement seems to be a hard title to find in excellent
condition posters.  (I have a very good cond OS framed.) 

Last summer I purchased privately a VG codition half sheet folded in
quarters.  As I said, VG condition but smudges/dirt on the borders, and
slight fold line loss of paper in the orange area.  No missing paper.  A
few, non-offensive tears.  Overall..totally satisfied.

Two weeks ago on ebay I bought at a great price a rolled half sheet:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemrd=1item=350146022820ssP
ageName=STRK:MERFB:IIDih=017ih=019ih=019ih=016ih=011ih=009ih=017
ih=024ih=017ih=003ih=010ih=010ih=010ih=010ih=010ih=010ih=010ih
=010
 (the shipping was only 7.20 when i addressed this with seller, so don't
think i paid the amount listed)  The seller was very, very honorable.
Seller is NOT as a poster collector or dealer.  We exchanged very good
feedback.

The poster arrived, and when i placed the two side by side, the orange
on the rolled poster seemed to have faded slightly.

WHICH SHOULD I KEEP?  the rolled excellent condition with slight fading
on the orange area only (the yellows and blues and sepias are exact on
both) or the poster folded in quarters?

thanks,
michael

Re: [MOPO] When do YOU think was the moment when eBay jumped the shark?

From: MoPo List [mailto:mop...@sol03.american.edu] On Behalf Of Bruce
Hershenson
Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 1:54 PM
To: mop...@sol03.american.edu
Subject: [MOPO] When do YOU think was the moment when eBay jumped the
shark?

 

I think almost all of us can agree that eBay has clearly jumped the
shark*. But exactly WHEN do you think this happened? When did eBay make
the move that changed it from a company with a bright future, and
started it on its current downhill path? Of course, there is no one
right answer, but I have my own opinion, which I will gladly share
once some of you voice your opinions.

 

When do YOU think was the moment when eBay jumped the shark?

 

Bruce

 

*N.B. According to Wikipedia, the phrase jump the shark refers to a
scene in a three-part episode of the American TV series, Happy Days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Days , first broadcast on September
20 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_20 , 1977
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977 . In the third of the three parts of
the Hollywood episode, Fonzie (Henry Winkler
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Winkler ), wearing swim trunks and
his trademark leather jacket, jumps over a penned-in shark
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark  while water skiing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_skiing . 

 

Even before jumping the shark was employed as a pop culture term, the
episode in question was cited many times as an example of what can
happen to otherwise high-quality shows when they stay on the air too
long in the face of waning interest-or when they simply cease to
maintain quality standards for writing or acting, resorting to cheap
sensationalism etc. The infamous scene was seen by many as betraying
Happy Days' 1950s setting (as well as reversing its earlier
character-developments, as noted above) by cashing in on the 1970s fads
of Evel Knievel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evel_Knievel [1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark#cite_note-0  and Jaws
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaws_(film) . Producer Garry Marshall
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Marshall  later admitted that he
knew the show had lost something as the crew prepared to shoot the
scene. As Marshall pointed out in the reunion special that aired on
February 3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_3 , 2005
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005 , however, Happy Days went on to
produce approximately 100 more episodes after the jumping the shark
episode. During the same special, in response to an audience member's
question, Marshall introduced the notorious clip and noted how the show
had inspired the term.

The first public use[2]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark#cite_note-1  of the
phrase as a direct metaphor is reported to have been on December 24
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_24 , 1997
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997 , when the jumptheshark.com
http://www.jumptheshark.com/  website was launched by Jonathan M. Hein
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Hein . According to the site, the
phrase was first coined by Hein's college roommate, Sean J. Connolly, in
1985. The term first appeared in print in the April 9
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_9 , 1998
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998 , Los Angeles Times
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times  Calendar Weekend
section.

The phrase has been used more recently outside the realm of popular
culture, representing anything that has reached its peak and has
declined in quality. If one thinks a stock or a sports team or a
subcultural phenomenon has reached its peak, for example, one can say
that it has jumped the shark. The phrase can also be specifically, the
phrase also refers to a particular event that demonstrates this decline
beyond all doubt, such as whenever an entertainment company or business
makes a grave mistake, and therefore rapidly loses ratings or fans,
becomes bankrupt or is sold.

Hi.  Sometimes if they just used mucilege you can take a retractable
razor
knife and fully extend it.  Then very very carefully slide the blade
between
the item and the backing paper. You can kind of use the blade edge to
pry
them apart.  The glue has to be brittle for this to work.  This is a
risky
method but I have done it many times with various scrap books.  Works
best
when they have only glued the corners.  Good luck.
