[MOPO] Marihuana (1936) posters update - Good news!

2012-06-02 Thread P Molitor
For the 3 people who actually care about this, some new information has come to 
light and there are now at least 2 campaigns that were definitely used in 1936, 
suggesting that there was a regional campaign like Reefer Madness used 3 
years later - although happily, Dwain at least used the same title for each 
region, unlike RM.

Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters

2012-06-02 Thread Geraldine Kudaka
I am not sure what month the Clockwork Orange poster went up for sale. All I 
know is that we have a consignor sales slip and those dates are on Heritage's 
paperwork. 

I will repeat what I have said before -- we are not in the movie poster buying 
/ selling business. 


We do not look at Heritage sales catalogues -- though Paul Miller from 
starwarsmoveposter.com did email me with a link to Heritage's Deko poster and I 
can't help but wonder whether this poster is ours, I  won't be following the 
auction --

Nor do we check up on poster prices on ebay or other auctions.

For us, movie posters are not a hobby or business but remnants of a life. 


We are retired from the movie business and have a room filled with posters, 
press books, scripts and other movie memorabilia, including original 
storyboards and artwork for Star Wars, Judge Dredd and Alien. We had 
merchandising prototypes for Star Wars, which we successfully sold on ebay, but 
it was a tremendous amount of work and effort. I could work full-time for 10 
years straight selling off the collection, and it still would not be gone. (But 
that's not what I want to do with the remainder of my life... My time... )


We are not alone. There are others like us who retired with large collections. 
Most of us don't have the time or inclination to join MOPO and find out what is 
happening in the poster world. 


We don't look at a poster as it's value is X, Y or Z, or it could be sold for 
such and such. 


We think about the grandkids... or about golfing... vacationing... clearing the 
driveway of snow... or, in my case, selling the Star Wars prototypes and 
building a house for a sick relative...We don't think about the price of 
posters...


I think of it as banking... I put my money in a bank and its suppose to be 
safe.I send my collectibles to a legitimate auction house... If I have to worry 
about my money in the bank, my money's in the wrong place. If I have to worry 
about the auction house ripping us off, we shouldn't be doing business with 
them.


So I apologize for not keeping track of when the auction was, but I do expect 
bonded professionals to act like professionals.

Likewise here.
Particularly confused about the Clockwork Orange poster.
At the value stated it was presumably the David Pelham style, and I thought 
what Geraldine was saying was that though it wasn't listed in the inventory by 
Heritage it was put in the October 2010 auction.
But I don't believe that style Clockwork Orange or anything for that title of 
that kind of value appeared at Heritage in October 2010

Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters

2012-06-02 Thread Geraldine Kudaka
No, the issue is that the items shipped to Heritage in 2010 
which were not sold in were never returned, and Heritage claims they 
don't have them because they're not on the inventory list. Ditto for the items 
sent in the 2nd batch, which included Get Carter, Lennon 
 other posters. We are missing multiple posters, including 3 sections of the 
Deko poster

Heritage thumbs their nose up at us and says, Prove it...


Issue is that you on MOPO may be treated professional and if the deal is not 
made, get your stuff back regardless of whether Heritage inventoried 
them for auction or not. 


For us -- and I bet for a lot of other newbie, non-dealers -- that is not the 
case. 


Look at it hypothetically -- if you receive a batch of posters, but only 
have to pay for posters you decide to list on an inventory you have 
created -- isn't that a great way of acquiring product to sell? The 
Clockwork Orange wasn't on the list Doesn't it make you wonder what 
other posters Heritage chose not to list?

And isn't it great if you can take the position of saying to your 
consignors -- prove it. Prove that you sent us these posters and they 
were really of that value.

For the consignors, it means what? Having photographic proof of what you 
sent, plus shipping... Then who is to say what was actually in the 
shipping carton? How does the average non-collector prove they put such 
and such poster in a box and shipped it. A shipping label? A shipping label 
proves a package was shipped, not the contents 
of the box. 


To alleviate consumer worry and prove their honesty, Heritage proclaims that 
they have a bonded staff person who receives 
the items, and two bonded staff people who check and inventory contents. The 
contents are then safely held in an insured warehouse -- which, in 
our case, per Grey, was his office. 


If Heritage's system worked, we wouldn't be screaming and wasting our time 
trying to get back our posters. 


If Heritage system worked, I wouldn't have had to ask multiple times for our 
posters back, and received a fraction of what we sent. I wouldn't 
have had to email Grey 6 times asking is he had returned all our posters -- to 
which he replied Yes.

This leaves us where? In a position of having to prove we sent posters which 
were not included on Heritage's inventory list.

We hired a lawyer to find out who at Heritage was the bonded representative who 
received and inventoried our poster.

Re: [MOPO] Article On Busted Collectibles Mention Movie Posters

2012-06-02 Thread Geraldine Kudaka
Regarding Heritage's inventory, please see my prior post.

Regarding contracts and ways of doing business:

1. Please note that we are not in the business of buying and selling movie 
posters. We are retired from the movie business and have posters from the years 
of being in the business.  


2. The movie business is so small that back then, before the MBA's took 
over, it was a handshake and verbal agreement. The Star Wars deal for 
the Kenner toys was made verbally, and the contracts were typed in 
carbon.  

If you go to Cannes today, a lot of distribution deals are made verbally 
between people who trust each 
other. The paperwork doesn't get hammered out until everyone is aback at the 
office. 


3. Living in New Hampshire today, a lot of deals are still made verbally or 
with a handshake. Fifteen years ago, when we 
lived in Los Angeles, we knew people who had legal contracts with their 
nanny's and gardeners, but there are lots of places throughout the 
United States where John Deere and an honest handshake still reigns..


Regarding the value of the posters -- we are not in the poster business and did 
not want to spend a lot of time educating ourselves on their value or 
the best way of selling them. Despite that, we are probably better 
informed than a lot of people who consigned to Heritage -- especially 
seniors. When I researched our items disappearing at Heritage, I googled and 
found we are not alone. 


If you read 
my original post to Rudy, you will see that Rudy solicited us to consign 
posters to Heritage, and we consigned with Heritage solely based on the 
professional esteem Charley had of Rudy. We did not do a cold 
submission. We had contacted Rudy trying to identify some posters we 
had, and he was the one who pitched us on submitting to Heritage. He 
called back several times to make sure we had indeed sent a shipment.  
 

Regarding time line, Grey Smith took weeks to reply to my query about whether 
he 
had sent everything back to us. I had to send him multiple emails to get him to 
even reply claiming he had returned all our submissions.


While I can understand you wanting to lay the blame on our unprofessional 
behavior, let me remind you that we are not in the movie poster 
buying/selling business. We have a collection because we were in the 
movie business, and like a lot of people -- including our friends and 
colleagues who also retired  from the industry -- we were simply looking for a 
way to liquidate the collection.

I am with you Bruce.

Are they mad because they received a $10K+ check from Heritage for a poster 
that Heritage didn't even initially inventory?
(There is no October 2010 Signature sale, so I am guessing maybe she means the 
July 2010 sale of Clockwork Orange.)

Why did you send Heritage more posters if you believed they weren't giving a 
full accounting of your first shipment?
Why did you wait several months after sending the second batch to see if 
Heritage even got them?
Did you send these unsolicited? 
I can't imagine a scenario where I would send several thousand dollars worth of 
material to someone a second time if I was not pleased with how they were 
handling the first shipment and then wait several months before contacting them 
about the second.

This latest message raises a lot more questions on your part than it does on 
Heritage.

Thank you, Sean, I had meant to post to whole group...

We sent the 2nd shipment shortly after receiving a check for Clockwork Orange. 
As Grey had told Charley that it takes them quite a while to schedule their 
auctions, we waited to hear from them. I think it was like 2-3 months before I 
emailed. Didn't hear back. another email... then finally called them.

Chris told me the posters we sent had no value, to which I replied, what about 
the Lennon and Get Carter. Off the top of my head, I knew they were of value 
because they had been on the first batch Signature sales slip. He said, Oh, 
I'll have to get back to you.

Didn't hear back from them. Emails. Grey then called Charley and asked him to 
email an inventory, and Charley emailed him a list he had made up... Months go 
by.  I emailed. No reply. More emails, no reply. Finally wrote a nastier email 
and got a reply, basically saying they didn't have the Get Carter and Lennon...

Mind you these weren't the only posters in the 2nd batch of 30-40+ items, 
including a serigraphed 40x60 opening day poster stock for Serpico. We 
included 2 vintage rock posters also because Heritage has their rock section, 
but off the top of my head, I immediately said Get Carter and Lennon because 
they were posters which had sold at a Signature auction..

After Bruce posted a news article on a UK auction houses cheating their 
consigners, I replied with a posting that an auction house had lost some of 
our posters. 

Grey sent an email threatening legal action. 

We consulted and paid for legal advice on our liability for slander and libel.

Safe, I make another posting on MOPO a few months later re: the missing posters.

Grey emails an offer to handle future consignments without a commission fee. 
Rudy also emails us saying this is a good deal, we should continue consigning 
as the fees can add up. We refuse. Grey then offers to donate the value of Get 
Carter and Lennon to charity. We refuse. 

This past month, he finally ships our posters back. It took a lot of emails 
before Grey categorically stated the posters he shipped were our total 
inventory at Heritage. 

Our problem is that the returned posters do not represent our total inventory. 

Now if we had agreed to consign further, we certainly could be accused of being 
a no-brainer.

Yes, we would certainly be ready for the nursing home.

Thank you for your reply Geraldine (though not sure if you meant it as a 
private message to me, or if you would like the whole group to see it).

My concern is not with your initial submission, which i understand Rudy helped 
you decide to send them to Heritage.
My question was about your second shipment.
You were already having problems with them at that point, so why in the world 
would you send them a second shipment, and then wait several months to even ask 
if they got it?
Best,

Sean

Regarding Heritage's inventory, please see my prior post.

Regarding contracts and ways of doing business:

1. Please note that we are not in the business of buying and selling movie 
posters. We are retired from the movie business and have posters from the years 
of being in the business.  


2. The movie business is so small that back then, before the MBA's took over, 
it was a handshake and verbal agreement. The Star Wars deal for the Kenner toys 
was made verbally, and the contracts were typed in carbon.  

If you go to Cannes today, a lot of distribution deals are made verbally 
between people who trust each other. The paperwork doesn't get hammered out 
until everyone is aback at the office. 


3. Living in New Hampshire today, a lot of deals are still made verbally or 
with a handshake. Fifteen years ago, when we lived in Los Angeles, we knew 
people who had legal contracts with their nanny's and gardeners, but there are 
lots of places throughout the United States where John Deere and an honest 
handshake still reigns..


Regarding the value of the posters -- we are not in the poster business and did 
not want to spend a lot of time educating ourselves on their value or the best 
way of selling them. Despite that, we are probably better informed than a lot 
of people who consigned to Heritage -- especially seniors. When I researched 
our items disappearing at Heritage, I googled and found we are not alone. 


If you read my original post to Rudy, you will see that Rudy solicited us to 
consign posters to Heritage, and we consigned with Heritage solely based on the 
professional esteem Charley had of Rudy. We did

For the 3 people who actually care about this, some new information has come to 
light and there are now at least 2 campaigns that were definitely used in 1936, 
suggesting that there was a regional campaign like Reefer Madness used 3 
years 
later - although happily, Dwain at least used the same title for each region, 
unlike RM.
