Re: [MOPO] $481 for a reproduction of a 2001 post card?

I think I can answer that: This auction was run by "Door-to-Door" auctions -- one of those new services where people just hand over their stuff to them and they auction it for them. A lot of people have questioned if these services can provide the kind of expertise needed to properly

My guess would be they did not know what category to list it in or accidently placed it in the repro section. Movielegends --- Helmut Hamm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Looks original to me. The 3-D displays for 2001 not only came in the postcard size, but also as 11x14s and in app. one-sheet

Dear Dominique, JR is correct. You must report this, if you haven't already, to UPS. This was the trick Joe Hernandez used to send my posters back to me. When you sent the posters, they were weighed in at a certain amount. Supposedly when UPS takes a package with this high of insurance on

Hey Guys, These new operations are amazing. I went to dinner the other evening and while driving home down Ventura Blvd. in my neck of the woods, I saw 4 of those stores along about a three mile trek, one of which was right next door to the restaurant I was eating at. The windows were

Some of them *are* Mail Boxes Etc. or FedEx/Kinkos. The latter is either doing it themselves or has a contract with a company to do it. I've heard the radio spots, saying to just take your stuff to any FedEx/Kinkos. I suspect others are operating out of existing business locations, so they

I use Fedex ground to ship framed movie posters. I insure regularly boxes upwards of $10,000 and have never had a problem. I have had several collectors and dealers telling me that they were told be Fedex that they did not insure posters. That just isn't the case. I get posters shipped to
