Kirby My first thought on seeing that image was "looks kind of fishy to me"! I joined that FB group and that post is not there. I went to that guy's profile, and it was not there either. And I found the same post in another non-movie poster group. Looks like one more of those "I remember when

Same for me. I saw the re-post and then tried to find the original posting but no luck. I agree with Bruce—definitely fishy. Scott From: MoPo List On Behalf Of Bruce Hershenson Sent: Saturday, April 8, 2023 1:34 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] WB throwing away

On the other hand: I had a dear friend named Chuck Vergara who lived in Fairfax, CA. He owned a local restaurant that was decorated with as many movie posters as he could fit, mostly 20s & 30s titles. "They're just so damned pretty!" he would enthse to me on a regular basis. (My fascination with

Sorry for the late reply, let's see if this works. I have a couple of cards from Convention City, as well as a window card. The cards are formerly from the Morris Everett collection. Would love to find more, but they are very tough! https://photos.app.goo.gl/wgtadVGRs8jYixP66
