Re: [MOPO] KERRY HAGGARD WAS SENTENCED TODAY!
Congratulations -Original Message- From: James Gresham jamesalangres...@gmail.com To: MoPo-L MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Mon, Apr 9, 2012 6:23 pm Subject: [MOPO] KERRY HAGGARD WAS SENTENCED TODAY! After three long years I am happy to say that Kerry Haggard was sentenced. The Judge threw the book at him, giving him the maximum sentence possible of 78 months in Federal Prison. She would have given him more time, but then it might have opened the door for an appeal. 78 months is the maximum with no appeal opportunity. She obviously didnt like Haggard and lectured him for about 20 minutes. He requested a transfer to the Atlanta Federal prison. She refused to let him transfer to a Federal prison closer to his home in Atlanta. As a matter of fact, she also gave him three years probation after that, requiring it to be held in New York also. Which means, he will have to live in that area. He cant go to Georgia to do his time or his probation. In terms of restitution, she sentenced him to $1.377 million to be reimbursed to the hobby. Unfortunately, they cant make him give posters back. They can hold his feet to the fire, but can't actually make him give them back. The good news is that Agent Mike Mullahy has found at least $300,000 in good posters. (They also confiscated many other fakes.) The Judge order that all funds raised from the sale of these posters go to the victims, not the Government. Each victim was listed in the sentencing, with the amount due to them for reimbursement. It was also implied that there may be more charges coming. I am not certain of this, but it sounds like there are more potential legal actions in Haggard's future. I can't convey how much disdain the judge had for Haggard. There are some real positives from today. First of all, the judge was greatly influenced by the letters that everyone sent to her. She said she had never received so many letters in a case, ever! Thank you to each person who wrote a letter. Also a thank you to Robert Ragovin and Glenn Damato who spoke in court along with myself. Ralph De Luca was also there lending support. I want to send a special thanks to Sean Linkenback. He knows why, and thats all I will say about that. Our hobby owes a special thanks to the FBI. Specifically Agent Mike Mullahy. He did a fantastic job. He talked to me day night. I remember one time he contacted me at 10:30 on a Sunday evening. He went over and above. Another positive is the fact that our legal system does in fact work! My only regret is that Haggard is still lying and still trying to hold the posters for his own gain. But, the game is far from over. Overall today was a wonderful day for our hobby. I personally thank God for what he did today.

(BTW, if you haven't seen that film yet, hold your dollars; the film is being released on DVD next month.) But John Carter, despite its merits, is headed toward becoming one of the biggest box office flops in Disney's history. Some say the film, which cost a whopping $250 million to make, may even lose this weekend's Friday through Sunday box office in the U.S. to The Lorax. CinemaScore, the market research firm, says John Carter's demographic is running at 65 percent male, indicating the picture turns off women. The business projections for John Carter are so dire - that there's talk Disney may lose $100 million to $165 million on the picture. Audiences have no clue about much of this negative chatter of course, but some analysts say Disney made a huge marketing mistake with the film's title, which only resonates with Burroughs fans and to comic-book fanboys - by dumping its original working title, which was a more intriguing and mysterious, John Carter on Mars - and not just John Carter.

Re: [MOPO] Are boosted images clever marketing or outright deception?
I completely agree as well...in addition a catalog or internet picture typically looks different than when you see it in person in full scale...how could you truly see the same image in a smaller or larger picture version than in real?

I made the mistake of seeing HUGO with a friend with no historical interest in cinema. There are a lot of things good about it, such as the 3-D process - but if I had to boil its problems down to one thing it would be poor pacing. The picture rarely takes off and fails to play up the mystery of the broken down robot in an engaging, exhilarating way. I kept waiting for it to zoom off the screen in that familiar Scorsese way. If a film doesn't take off in 3-D, then its prospects in 2-D are worse. Having said that, I also saw War Horse, the Spielberg drama. Everyone knows that I'm a big fan of this controversial love-him-or-hate-him director who has a penchant for sweetness and canned conclusions. Forget the source material when you see these pictures. A film should stand on its own as a product of pure cinema - independent of its source. War Horse delivers about 2/3rds too late into the picture. Very slow but at least it gets props for generating genuine tears from an audience. But not worth the journey. Yet Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin shocked me. I was not familiar with the source material and it did not matter. I was skeptical of Spielberg's venture into a genre that I didn't think him capable of pulling off, e.g., animation; the other two genres that he's crummy at are romantic-comedies and musicals, despite what we've seen in 1941 and in Temple of Doom. But Tintin roared like an animated version of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The marriage of 3-D and animation worked in this film in ways that should have worked in Hugo. When we saw it, there were no more than 20 people in the theater. The picture is a bust in the U.S. but it's spectacular entertainment with stock villains, thrills and spills. It's a well-crafted picture, way better than War Horse and turned out to be one of the best pics we saw last year. Worth the price of admission. I have not yet seen The Artist which is gathering tremendous momentum but has been slapped with the art-house label, which will hurt the number of screens available for viewers. I'm hoping it's indeed as great as critics say it is. Meanwhile, about Tree of Life and Moneyball - The Tree of Life is available on DVD and is petering out for awards notoriety, but we saw it twice and was quite taken with it both times. But it must be said that the film is incomprehensible without the subtitles turned on. I can only imagine how angry paying viewers must have been with their inability to make out the content of the voice overs. Director Malick's vision of where you are in the continuum of life, e.g., what came before you and what will come after you, is intriguing. It has a Kubrickian feel hence it is a very divisive picture for audiences. On the other hand, Moneyball was a blow-down, knock-em-dead wonderful picture; director Bennett Miller, who was the guy who helmed my favorite picture of 2005 (Capote with Philip Seymour Hoffman), is a master by taking a baseball picture you think you're going to hate and turning it into a wonderful character ensemble; Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill were wonderful and it's great to see Pitt playing older so well and Hill playing something other than a sex-crazed schlub. The sharp writing of Moneyball is similar to the The Social Network because both pictures were penned by Aaron Sorkin, though Moneyball has the bonus of being co-penned by Steve Zaillian (Schindlers List). A wonderful picture. Finally, two other pictures that were solid faves for me last year were Bridesmaids and The Descendants. The less I say about Bridesmaids the better. You'll either love it or hate it. More laughs per minute than any other picture released last year. The Descendants, however, requires an advisory. Despite the fact that it's being marketed as a light family relationship picture, the picture is in fact very dark and framed with sadness from beginning to end. It is not a great night out on the town type of movie. Yet it demands your attention because the dialogue feels authentic and faithful to how people face the impending death of someone close to them. Clooney plays against type and that's what's different. His character, despite his millions, is grossly incompetent. That's the main appeal of the picture; how is he going to right a sinking ship that's filled with so many people who depend upon him? The Academy Awards are a phony exercise that I unfortunately cave into every year as a guilty pleasure. I make it a point to see every product nominated for Best Picture so that I know

So, if you are attending the Cinevent Show this weekend, MPgrading will be hosting a free breakfast Saturday Morning 8AM -10AM at the Hotel before Morrie's big Auction (please email me for formal invitation) to present our findings. We will also be hosting a round table discussion abut the hobby, what MPgrading's role is and general topics that are open for discussion. I know there are a lot of opinions, prejudices, etc out there from people that have been in this hobby much longer than we have and may not want to attend because so and so are going to be there. But it would be great if everyone could put their differences aside for 2 hours and come together for this event because I believe it is the GOAL of EVERY Dealer and Collector to restore the confidence of the Movie Poster Community and help grow this fabulous Hobby of ours. This special event is limited to 20 people and we are almost full, so if you would like to attend, please call ASAP and reserve your spot. Once we are full you will be placed on a waiting list. If you love movie posters as much as we do, you won't want to miss this landmark occasion!!! Hope to meet everyone we can at Cinevent!!!

So needless to say I was thrilled when I learned that Syfy would be introducing a new series titled ‘Hollywood Treasure’ in which we followed the path of Hollywood’s treasures from unearthing to ending up on the auction house block. And when Syfy reached out to me to ask if I would be interested in reviewing the first two episodes from the 12-episode season, I would have ordinarily jumped at the chance, but what could Syfy (owned by NBC Universal incidentally) possibly offer me, someone who focuses on The Walt Disney Company? Apparently everything (but more on that later). The series centers on Joe Maddalena, the founder and owner of Profiles in History, a prominent auction house that focuses on Hollywood memorabilia. Profiles in History was the company recently responsible for the recent ‘LOST’ auction and exhibit as well as an upcoming auction to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future at Universal Studios (which we’ll give some more information on at a later date). Essentially Joe and his staff act on leads and previously established relationships to find the owners of desirable props and get them to agree to consign the object to be sold at auction. Not everything always works out in Joe’s favor however and fortunately the show doesn’t bury the non-successes and instead offers us the opportunity to experience collectibles we might not have had the chance to see otherwise, or even know to exist. It’s in the first episode in fact that a lead comes in the form of one of the magic carpet bags used by Julie Andrews in the Disney classic Mary Poppins. According to the bag’s history (which isn’t as detailed in the episode), current owner Erik Rosen’s grandfather received the carpet bag as the result of a company raffle held for the film’s ad agency. Stuffed with cash as a bonus, the original winner wasn’t interested in the bag as much as the cash and gladly passed the carpet bag off to Rosen’s grandfather who gifted it to his wife. Although it was well-loved by Erik and his siblings as children, it eventually ended up packed in a cardboard box in the cellar and there it sat for decades until the family moved out of the home and the grandchildren decided to see who could get the most money for it. Initially Maddalena is impressed by the carpet bag when he examines it and tells Rosen that he believes the bag could fetch as much as $15,000 at auction if the bag could be confirmed as authentic screen-used, but when Profiles in History has trouble substantiating Rosen’s claims, it’s up to the Profiles in History crew to further investigate into the true origins of the bag and what they ultimately discover will definitely surprise you. Even the second episode, whose star is one of the Wicked Witch of the West’s hat from MGM’s Wizard of Oz, has a touch of Disney in that it was filmed around the time of the LOST auction and features several of the props from the ABC series. Maddalena also pays a visit to the Sony Pictures Entertainment archive as well as offers appraisals to a private Batman memorabilia collector who not only collects items but built his own functional Batmobile replica solely from photographic references and a Heath Ledger as the Joker life-size figure that must be seen to be believed. I have but one gripe about the series and it’s probably not all that surprising given the state of reality television nowadays and that is that some of the dialogue between the crew appears scripted and artificial for the sake of enhancing the viewing experience. Fortunately however it’s a rare scenario and the genuine content of the show is compelling enough to forgive it. The first two episodes of ‘Hollywood Treasure’ premiere back-to-back tonight on Syfy at 10 pm and 10:30 pm.

Re: [MOPO] FA: Heritage's incredible Halloween auction continues with lots more this week!
As most of you know, I grew up in Vienna, Austria but live in the US since a very long time. I also did collect the Film Kurier for a very long time. The Film Kurier in Grey's auction is made by an Austrian company based in Vienna, Austria. I am not certain if this specific title was also sold in Germany because of the following. The selling price for this program is listed/printed in Austrian Schilling only...no mentioning of the German Mark...and the Film Releasing Company is also listed only for the Austrian company...Verleih by Universal for Oesterreichtranslated is Released by Universal for Austria...but remember Austria also speak German...Austria also produced different film posters for a very long time..one of the largest silent film poster collections is actually the Austrian government owned Film Bibliothek in Vienna that produced one CD with thousands of images in the 1990sthis collection also has the largest collection of Metropolis posters...actually, the UFA Museum collection in Berlin had one of the Metropolis posters from Vienna on display in the past...not certain if they still have it on display or if it was returned to Viennahttp://plakatarchivaustria.onb.ac.at/Pages/Search/Result.aspx?p _Mode=StartQuickSearchp_sSearchToken=metropolis and all their film poster collection is searchable on their websitehttp://plakatarchivaustria.onb.ac.at/ other treasures: http://plakatarchivaustria.onb.ac.at/Pages/Search/Result.aspx?p_Mode=StartQuickSearchp_sSearchToken=nibelungen Enjoy / Philipp -Original Message- From: walter reuben wal...@walterfilm.com To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Mon, Oct 25, 2010 3:05 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] FA: Heritage's incredible Halloween auction continues with lots more this week! hello everyone I would really like one of our German or Austrian friends to give their opinion about this. Until Hitler annexed Austria in 1938 during the so-called Anschluss, Austria was a separate country (as it again became, after the end of World War II). Austria and Germany, in the 20s and the 30s, often made different posters, and I definitely seen both Austrian and German programs from the 30s for the same films, and the programs are not the same.

The programme is Austrian, and used in Germany. It's rather like a UK international one sheet that is used in Australia, or a US International one sheet that is used in Australia. It remains as sourced from its country of origin as part of its descriptor. The analogy of East German and West German material is certainly apt. Particularly where design in East Germany was so dramatically different before reunification. I would think that accuracy in describing it would only widen its potential audience of bidders and stand the auction house (any auction house) in good stead. Surely part of the credibility of specialised auction houses rests on their ability to present their items as accurately as possible and absorb information for future listings.

Bruce, The thing is that the Austrian programs measure a completely different size from the German ones, so most people who collect these programs want to know which country they are from, because of the size difference. Of course, since you gave the size, anyone knowledgeable would know that it is Austrian and not German, so I guess you don't need to make the correction. It is kind of like how we distinguish between East German posters and German posters, because they use to be two completely different countries with completely different governments.

Many times for large Austrian posters they also added the movie theaters on the bottom similar to the King Kong poster. These three theaters are well known movie theaters in Vienna, Austria.

Re: [MOPO] The Worlds RAREST Movie Posters Book Is Fantastic!!!
I can agree with Tom...what a master stroke from Todd...the quality is incredible...I also hope for a sequel...Philipp Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: Tom A. Pennock tapenn...@aol.com Sender: MoPo List mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 17:12:22 To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Reply-To: tapenn...@aol.com Subject: [MOPO] The Worlds RAREST Movie Posters Book Is Fantastic!!! I just received Todd Spoor's new hardcover book The World's Rarest Movie Posters. It exceeded my expectations. It was printed in China and the illustrations are so vibrant and beautiful. The text is wonderful as well and the book tells about how limited these types of cardboard stock rolled posters are. I have one poster in the book in my 007 collection from You Only Live Twice (style a/volcano) and parted with a 40 x 60 poster from Tarantula. There was a definate need for a book like this. I don't think these types of cardboard stock posters have ever been profiled or addressed in a book before like this. I think many collectors may indeed be very unaware of them. When you consider how many one sheets were printed these cardboard stock posters in comparision are extremely limited and were expensive to produce. Most likely the highest quality movie posters ever made in many cases. Thank's to Todd F. for my MINT 40 x 60 from The Spy Who Loved Me from 1977. I think it's Bob Peak's best!!! BRAVO to Todd for a job well done!!!He hit a home run with this book. This book can be purchased from amazon.com or ANY decent bookstore. Do buy this very unique book. I am hoping for a sequel. I think there is so much more that Todd can tell us about these wonderful cardboard stock posters and how unique and RARE they are. ---Tom Pennock Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Now, you tell me, who's really trying to help the industry or help out collectors, John and Carol?? Yet, you still support the creator of this entire mess. I know you're referring to Jaime but the creator of this mess was your good buddy Kerry and Kerry alone. Charges against Jaime were dropped by the court as there was no evidence to bring a case against him. Again, I'll give you this analogy... If I own a gun shop and sell someone a gun and they go out and kill 10 people, is the gun shop owner liable?? NO. Is the gun manufacturer liable?? NO. Guess who's liable?? The guy who decided to break the law and kill 10 people, that's who's responsible, not the gun shop owner and not the gun manufacturer. How come you didn't bring a lawsuit against Anthony in New York?? After all, Anthony is the one who actually did the printing. I haven't seen you mention anything about him?? If Jaime is responsible, Anthony should also be just as responsible. Jim, as much as you'd like the gun shop owner to be responsible for the deaths of those 10 people, he's not the one. Differences aside...I feel real bad for you Jim, since your loss in this situation is by far the biggest and far worse than anybody elses and honestly, I hope that you eventually get every penny back. I can also understand your frustration and how stressful this has been on you and your family losing so much money and I can also understand you want anyone that had anything to do with this held accountable and I don't blame you one bit.

Re: [MOPO] Quick simple question

He saved one-sheets, lobby cards, and a few other posters from lots of movies from 1919 to the early 1930s, including The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (one-sheet and lobby cards), The Sheik (both styles of one-sheet), Red Headed Woman (one sheet), and much much more. In 1989 I met his son, and I arranged to sell the collection on consignment. The best of it was in the 1990 and 1991 Christie's auctions I organized (Hollywood Posters I and II), and the rest I sold through my sales lists. Incidentally, the family took all the proceeds and put it into the stock market when the Dow was around 2,200, and that was right at the start of the incredible bull market that saw the Dow rise to 14,000, so that worked out even better for them! Some of the posters have not been seen elsewhere, to the best of my knowledge.

Guys Gals...in retrospect, I was coming from a place of anger regarding the death of Corey Haim, and forgive me if I assaulted any tender sensibilities. It's just that I have watched so many of my friends and fellow musicians die young, old and needlessly from drugs that I just throw up my hands in dismay and frustration at times, and sarcasm is often a deflection for me. Personally? I've almost checked out early from the Big Hotel at least 3 times from ODs, and you know what...it would have indeed been a stupid way to die, and I would have left lots of sadness wreckage behind. I guess I was just lucky, unlike Mr. Haim.. I am so in the trenches when it comes to drugs, I work with addicts as a musical counselor, and they are lovely amazing people, but GOD they do dumb things to themselves. If I seemed less than sensitive to Haim's death, it's just that I have seen too much of it, and occasionally my brain explodes. I beg the group's pardon for being such a seemingly insensitive dick.

In general I'm mostly surprised how well the film works, haven't seen Metropolis since maybe 10 years. It has the original score played live by Berlin philharmonic orchestra and the original titles. The restored scenes appear to be recognized at a glimpse due to the quality, the restoration improved them but they couldn't work miracles, as there were no comparisons to the lost scenes except stills. What was most noticeable to me as new besides some bits and pieces: -entirely new images of the statue of HEL (the original machine-woman) created by mad scientist Rotwang, and pointing out that Rotwang, the inventor, created it because he fell in love/adored the real Hel (wife of the city-leader) before she died, so he recreated her (and transforms this robot to the 'whore of babylon'-Doppelganger of Maria soon afterwards in the film) - more images of Moloch, the man-feeding machine -A short but wild montage scene showing the sins of upper-class Metropolis (gambling, prostitution) -A new character (called 'Der Schmale' = 'The Narrow' (or The Thin man) who is the guard of the upper class leader Should be out on DVD soon. -This restoration (done in only a half year by the Murnau Stiftung) cost 600.000 Euro. -In a documentary that was shown afterwards it was told that the original complete 35mm negative was copied to 16mm (with major loss of picture quality by this process and afterwards) in Argentina not before the 70s! and destroyed - because the owner was afraid of the danger of nitrate film and didn't have the money to make a 35mm copy, but they didn't know what they had of course -The German poster (the confirmed sale 2 years or so ago) sold for about the same amount than this restoration cost. -Production cost of the film was an est. of 3.5 Mill Reichsmark back then (about 15 Million Euro today) Cheers, Wolfgang Kinoart.net Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

MEDIA CONTACT Teni Melidonian tmelidon...@oscars.org January 18, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 80 Best Picture Posters to Premiere at the Academy Beverly Hills, CA —“The Wizard of Oz,” “Citizen Kane” and “Casablanca” will be among the 80 Best Picture nominees represented in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ new exhibition “The More the Merrier: Posters from the Ten Best Picture Nominees, 1936 – 1943,” opening on Saturday, January 23, in the Academy’s Grand Lobby Gallery in Beverly Hills. Admission is free. Focusing on the eight consecutive years during which there were annually ten Best Picture nominees, the exhibition will showcase what are arguably some of the most striking movie posters ever created, including artwork for “Romeo and Juliet” (1936), “A Star Is Born” (1937), “Jezebel” (1938), “Stagecoach” (1939), “The Philadelphia Story” (1940), “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), “The Pride of the Yankees” (1942) and “Heaven Can Wait” (1943). Key artists and illustrators whose work will be featured include Norman Rockwell, Al Hirschfeld, Jacques Kapralik, France’s Boris Grinsson and Pierre Pigeot, and Italy’s Ercole Brini. The exhibition also will present the only known three-sheet posters for “The Great Ziegfeld” (1936), the special British cinema display for “Lost Horizon” (1937), and an original painting for “Gone with the Wind” (1939) by the prolific artist Sergio Gargiulo. “The More the Merrier” is drawn from the collection of Academy member and poster art director Mike Kaplan, and augmented by materials from the Academy’s Margaret Herrick Library. The posters include foreign versions from South American and Europe. The specific number of Best Picture nominees ranged from 3 to 12 in the Awards years from 1927/28 through 1943; in 1944 the number was set at 5, as it remained until 2009. The 82nd Academy Awards®, which will be televised on Sunday, March 7, will return to the Academy’s past practice of nominating 10 films for the Best Picture award. Kaplan will lead a public gallery talk at the Academy on Sunday, January 24, at 3 p.m. No reservations are required. “The More the Merrier: Posters from the Ten Best Picture Nominees, 1936 – 1943” will be on display through Sunday, April 18. The Academy’s Grand Lobby Gallery is located at 8949 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills and is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and weekends, noon to 6 p.m. For more information call (310) 247-3600 or visit www.oscars.org. # # #ABOUT THE ACADEMY The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world’s preeminent movie-related organization, with a membership of more than 6,000 of the most accomplished men and women working in cinema.

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?

Let me preface this post by saying that MOPO is one of the rare examples of what a forum should be: a place for people with a common interest to engage in civil discussions and share information with one another. That said, I would like to make a few comments and clarify a few things from several recent threads regarding material that I have listed on ebay. First, it was suggested by a member that Majestic Posters was another ebay ID that Ken Schacter sells under. This is not the case. Majestic Posters is a business that Ken and I recently formed and co-own. You can visit our site at: http://www.majesticposters.com/shop/home.php. If anyone is interested you can register and sign up for our newsletter which is primarily used to inform members of inventory updates and is sent when new material is listed on the site. We are adding material weekly and are presently compiling several thousand stills we recently acquired and will be adding a Still/Photo Category soon.

Re: [MOPO] REYNOLD BROWN PAINTINGS
Just look at the result of the other metropolis posters at sothebys in 2000. This was the best year of movie posters prices ever! And the other style is much better than his copy..in my opinion and it is in color.just look at the austiran museum website Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: James Richard jrl...@mediabearonline.com Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:28:49 To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] REYNOLD BROWN PAINTINGS Peter, Thanks for putting up a picture of the reverse side of the Reynold Brown painting for MAN WITHOUT A STAR that allows us to read the notations (I wish you'd do the same with a closeup of the notations on the front of WALK THE PROUD LAND as well) The notes indicate that this piece was in fact the original poster art for the 24-sheet. I am very surprised the studio would use a such tiny 14x6-inch original for something that big, but apparently they did. You learn something new every day. Even more interesting was the indication in the notes that Reynold Brown did not draw the poster himself, but did the color rendering of Monty Orr's drawing. And then, someone from the east coast sales office had another artist come along later and change some of what Reynold Brown had done to make the Kirk Douglas figure more menacing. Fascinating stuff to me as an artist. My point about the Metropolis offering was not so much that a 300% markup is unusual... we've all often seen much higher markups. It was that a 300% markup on a $7,000 poster and a 300% markup on a $700,000 poster are two completely different animals. The first might be considered a reasonable expectation -- the seller invests $7,000 bucks and 10 years later sells the item for $21,000 and makes $14,000 profit. But he was selling into a market where there are a *lot* of people willing and able to pay $21,000 for a poster. But to expect to invest $700,000 in a poster and in 4 years sell it and make $1.3 million profit on the deal seems, to me, an unreasonable expectation. At that price level you're selling into a very thin market. If you truly did offer $1.9 million for it, I can only shake my head in bewilderment at Ken turning you down. I was also wondering about the whole idea of selling such an item on ebay instead of consigning it to Christies or some other venue where multi-million dollar prices are common and buyers with that kind of purchasing power congregate. That seems to me almost as strange as Ken being able to buy it just 4 years ago for what everyone is now telling me was such a bargain basement price of only $690,000 -- private sale or no. I was told that this private sale was something brokered by an agent and that the agent shopped the poster around for months to quite a few people who might be interested in it and that the $690,000 was the most anyone would (or could) come up with at the time. Whether public auction or private sale -- if the sale price becomes public knowledge -- then either gets figured into the price range and either can establish a high watermark price that others will cite in the future. Of course, as we all know, there really ain't no such animal as the real price of any movie poster -- just a range that posters (even rare ones) fall into over time. It is equally well-known that there are always cases of individual sales where the price paid jumps way out of the established range, both to the up and the down side. I agree with you that as a purely philosophical matter is is impossible to say what the Metropolis poster is worth in terms of historic/collectible value. But in practical terms, people and organizations and insurance companies put a dollar value on priceless works of art all the time. In the end I was just saying that in purely practical terms I thought $2 million was too much to reasonably expect to get at this time in these economic conditions. But that's my personal estimate of the current market, nothing more. And I've been wrong on that topic plenty of times before. -- JR peter contarino wrote: Hi All, Although I have been enjoying MOPO for years, this is my first post.

Andrea On Oct 6, 2009, at 11:56 PM, Richard Halegua Comic Art Movie Posters wrote: Folks years ago when I was the top of the game in original comic art, I spent over $30grand on 2 art lots from a well known comic dealer and another comic art dealer about 6 months later, the art was determined to have been stolen from a well known collection. Once I was made aware that the art was stolen, I contacted every person who I knew I had sold art to, explained the situation and did what I could to buy back the art from my customers so that they would not have to take a loss on this artwork. Most of the buyers were very understanding, returned the art to me and I gave them their money. Most of them that is. I was actually quite shocked in the behavior of one client who believed that regardless of the status of the now-known-to-be-stolen- art that he was supposed to make a profit on the money he spent with me, even though he knew that the art was stolen. Of course, he was wrong. Especially seeing as I was in the process of losing my $37,000 because the 2 dealers - both of whom the collector knew - were refusing to repay me the money. One, who apparently dealt directly with the thief, later went to jail because of his involvement in a baseball autograph fraud, and later went to jail again for yet another baseball autograph fraud. But that didn't matter to me.. I sold the art to my buyers and I had to refund their money and there was no in-between on the issue. They got their money back, I took the loss and we moved on. That's the way it's supposed to work. I didn't say once I get my money back or go talk to the guy who sold them to me I didn't need my attorney to tell me that I needed to refund the money. I refunded the money post-haste and it caused me financial problems afterward.. But that's what you do when you're in business I like Debi, and I like Jim and of course Sean is one of my best friends. I like Sue and ED. But whether I like them or not, there is something called what's right to do I don't understand, based on what I read this evening on these posts, why Debi would have any inner debate to why she should or should not refund the money for the piece that Jim got stuck with. If she got the money, then she should refund it and then she should pursue Kerry. That's the way it's done Should Sean have outed Debi? I actually do not see anything wrong with outing anyone who refuses to deal in good faith with these issues, regardless of financial ramifications as long as the issue is told in an honest and forthright way. I don't think that Sean misrepresented the situation and seeing as everyone here keeps asking when do we get more information, well... that is more information and it seems to have worked because now Debi is talking to Jim about refunding his money and she isn't going to refund his money because she's gotten a bad rap in Sean's email although it seems it was a help in moving her into a position where she wants to refund it. She's going to refund his money because that's what she is supposed to do as a businesswoman and in doing so, she removes even a speck of doubt to how she will handle any similar situations that arise in the future.

Re: [MOPO] An Open Letter to John Davis of Poster Mountain

Philipp -Original Message- From: Richard Halegua Comic Art Movie Posters sa...@comic-art.com To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Wed, Sep 30, 2009 9:10 pm Subject: [MOPO] An Open Letter to John Davis of Poster Mountain Dear John You and I have never met - at least to my knowledge we haven't. However, in the year I have been involved seriously in the movie poster business as a collector or as the owner of MoviePosterBid.com, I have always heard great things about your company. At some point your talent was exampled to me when I bought a collection of magic posters with 2 of the classic Blackstone posters of the 1920s, and on the back was Poster Mountain's label. The quality of the restoration was of such quality that unless I got within just a few inches of the poster, it could not be seen even by my own eyes. That is not an easy feat! Before I got serious in movie posters, I was one of the top dealers in the world of Original Comic Art, Pulp and Paperback cover illustration, and I have some art training as well. So when I say that as an artist you are a very talented restorer, I think you know that I really mean it. Now, for the last few months there has been a total scandal in this hobby of ours. It is a scandal of epic proportions as epics may be measured in this small hobby of maybe 10,000 serious collectors and even still we are most likely far from discovering the true size and scope of this scandal for forgery and fraud are crimes that go on undetected for years, and there is a much longer period entailing the full investigative work that needs to be done to find the last one of these forgeries extant. Still unwinding down the road to justice and discovery we get new information almost every day concerning the alleged mastermind of the scheme Kerry Haggard and his alleged cohort Jaime Mendez and now added to this is the situation we have before us. About two weeks ago Profiles in History released their latest auction catalog and right there in bold colors on the front of their catalog was one of the prize jewels of movie poster collecting. The web style Dracula one sheet from 1931. An incredible poster if ever there was one to own and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Profiles was proud of this consignment as it is a true coup to sell such an item due to it's rarity for as we all know, or at least we should know, that the only two copies of this poster previously known to exist were in the collections of longtime collectors Ron Borst and Todd Feiertag. It wasn't more than hours after receiving the catalog however that fans across the globe began to question the authenticity of this poster.. and we were only looking at photographs. The first problem that was noticed with the poster was that the Morgan Litho plate numbers were wrong. They were actually the numbers for the cartoon-style Dracula one sheet. Within 2 days time a fan and the United Kingdom and myself began analyzing the image against the known copies - by photograph of course, and not to say that Todd Feiertag, Sean Linkenback and others were not also examining the pictures - but Richard Evans, the UK collector made the first points that there were issues with the text and lettering. Then I noted that the image was not as some had suspected taken from the pressbook cover - incorrect: The pressbook is a photographic image - or from Ron Borst's book - incorrect: there is not enough detail to have done such a fine reproduction. Again Richard Evans was the first to find a comparable image on the website art.com where you can buy a full size reproduction for $329.00. Then I realized that a company here in Las Vegas also makes a full size reproduction right here in Las Vegas not 2 miles from my office. S2 Art Gallery, run by longtime gallery owner Jack Solomon is well known for publishing a very high quality chromo lithography art print along with 99 other American Film Institute 100 poster series images including the Mummy, Frankenstein, the Invisible Man and even non-horror classics like Lolita, Casablanca and Wizard of Oz. Everyone here is familiar with them, or should be, as I think we have seen the King Kong 3-sheet posters that they have in Shopping Mall Galleries for something like $1000 and high quality they are. The images for these posters were supplied by the AFI to S2 Art and it is the AFI that had an artist by the name of D. Copson who carefully worked on the supplied image that he was given to create clean images for reproduction. His name appears on an S2 Art Print at the bottom right hand image along with a small S2 art imprint I have an image gallery at this link for everyone who wants to look of photographs I took when I went to the gallery http://www.comic-art.com/s2art_dracula/ S2 Art Gallery owner Jack Solomon

And all I can say is this: If you (or anyone) has got private inside information that actually *proves* something about Jamie Mendez then you (or anyone) can only do one of two things publicly: 1) Tell the rest of us precisely what you know -- BUT... 2) -- that's probably not possible right now because of the legal/lawsuit situation. So you have to restrain yourself about what you say publicly about Jamie until the legal situation changes to where you *can* tell us what you know. Bottom Line: It is unfair, unethical and plain wrong to continue to condemn Jamie publicly and urge that people stop doing business with him based on hidden facts that are known only to you and a couple of other people. We just don't do things that way in this country. Kerry is different because there are several people who are eyewitness to him selling and trading verified fakes who have already stepped forward and made sworn, public statements to that=2 0effect, But as far as I know there are no eyewitnesses who have come forward to testify to what they personally *know* Jamie did or didn't do. What you know may very well be completely true, but if you cannot tell us what you know publicly, then you are under obligation not to make *public* condemnations and recommendations based on private information which you can't reveal at this time. Given that, it's best to just let this matter play out in the legal system, which is what Heritage has obviously decided and why they continue to do business with Jamie until he is *proven* guilty -- or at least until someone is willing to step up and make a sworn public statement against him citing provable facts (as has already been done with Kerry).

[MOPO] Art of the Movie Poster Exhibit from the Paul Crifo Archive
This sounds like one incredible exhibit for the MOPO's Philipp http://www.oscars.org/events-exhibitions/exhibitions/2009/movieposters2.html This Academy exhibition explores the creative choices that go into the visual elements of a movie marketing campaign. Why was that design chosen? How might the success of a particular film have been affected if an alternate ad campaign had been selected? “Art of the Movie Poster” explores the decades between the 1950s and ’80s, and showcases the creative process by which a finished movie poster was achieved. Each stage of the process is illustrated, through reference stills, concept sketches, and hand-rendered and photographic ̴comps” (a design incorporating graphics and text). Also featured are many of the approved original illustrations of “key art.” Multiple poster styles will be displayed alongside the final, “winning” posters, which are from the collections of poster designer Paul Crifo and the Academy’s Margaret Herrick Library. During the decades covered in this exhibition, posters were generally conceived and executed by art school-trained craftsmen working within studio advertising departments or at ad agencies. Crifo studied illustration at Pratt University; from 1942 through 1986, he worked on more than 400 motion picture advertising campaigns and personally designed 120 film posters for Hollywood studios, foreign distributors and independent=2 0film companies, largely while working out of New York City. Posters and the preliminary design artwork that will be showcased include “Paths of Glory,” “Separate Tables,” “The Great Escape,” “Tom Jones,” “Zorba the Greek,” “The Group,” “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying,” “The Producers,” “In the Heat of the Night,” “Play It Again, Sam,” “A Separate Peace” and “Mahogany.” Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

[MOPO] Profiles in History Auction Dracula one sheet
Well...this is one rare posterI believe we know the owner of the other poster...and see a COA from Poster Mountain... Philipp Dracula one-sheet poster(Universal, 1931) Bela Lugosi’s version of the iconic Bram Stoker novel is considered to be the definitive film adaptation. This incredibly rare 27 in. x 41 in. one-sheet style-B stone lithograph image of Dracula peering through a spider web with his hypnotic gaze is the quintessential poster for Tod Browning’s 1931 Universal horror film. Indeed, Universal chose this image as the cover for their Pressbook distributed to theatre owners to complement the film’s debut. This example is one of only three of this style known to exist. Another copy of this very poster is being offered publicly for $950,000! This poster is on linen possessing bold colors with slight touch up with colored pencil on fold lines and some restoration on the borders and title. Very fine. Comes with a full restoration report and COA from John Davis at Poster Mountain. $20 - $25 http://www.profilesinhistory.com/index.php?option=com_auctionscatid=37task=view2id=16140 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

I believe I was the first to uncover this scam independently, about three months ago when I was consigned a Dracula title card reproduction pretty skillfully done. I knew from handling it immediately that there was something wrong with the card and as I examined it, became very aware that it was a forgery. I contacted the consignor who then contacted the person he bought it from, etc. Since that time I have had at least a 15 to 20 items sent to me to examine which I have found to be forgeries. Again, all from high end horror titles. This includes one sheets, lobbies, window cards, inserts and half sheets. Is there reason to be afraid of forgeries running rampant in the hobby? Not at all. This has been halted in its tracks at this time and the real problem now is determining who bought these and where they are.
