Hi Rich
I agree with you. Its interesting that I had quite a few Offlist 
replies to the questions I raised on MoPo. It seems that some think 
that any discussion about eBay is likely to cause friction. eBay 
probably still is the largest marketplace for original movie posters 
despite the fact that they keep changing their gourndrules so I 
would have thought some discussion is relevant.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] eBay



John, the answer is...

fleaBay listings drop every year in Oct-Dec in total number. so 
fleaBay, trying to capture lost revenue, has these Free or 1penny 
listing days or nickel or whatever so that people load the site up 
to make up for fewer listings otherwise. Obviously, they are seeing 
some positive expectation each week, so they keep running the 
promotion. Because there are no parameters, you get people who 
might not otherwise list lots of stuff to go completely overboard, 
and others who want to list cheap stuff that they might not be able 
to justify listing fees on hundreds or thousands of items.


unfortunately, most of the material listed is either just 
super-over priced merch, or complete garbage and it doesn't do much 
to get actual fair bid auctions listed. so the extra listings not 
only have no use to someone like myself as a buyer and actually 
make it completely cumbersome to sift through 500 extra pages of 
listings. so anything I might have been interested that was listed 
yesterday, in all likelihood I will miss because I'm never going to 
be able to get through all those pages.


the people who list those useless placeholders, like svejlandusa, 
who apparently is here in Vegas (I do not even know who it is, nor 
does Cinema Collectors know) are the most aggravating because it 
take 15 minutes just to scroll through page after page of his non-listings


I can definitely see why dealers with store might get pissed off.. 
you're really getting screwed monetarily AND your listings 
disappear in all the garbage


fleaBay sucks!!

[MOPO] ADVANCE ANNOUNCEMENT: Greatest Rolled Modern Poster Auction STARTS 12/21

2011-12-03 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art

JUST AN ADVANCE NOTICE AS WE'RE STILL COMPILING THIS AUCTION

On December 21st will begin the best rolled poster auction we will 
have had yet!!

300 Rolled Posters with many top and fantastic titles.

I wanted to send the year out with a bang, so for this auction I'm 
pulling loads of the best rolled posters I have here. This sale will 
include such great scarcities as:


Deep Throat - the rare white version
ET bicycle over the moon 1sh
Reservoir Dogs copper poster
Monsters Inc International advance
Harry Potter International advance
Pulp Fiction dictionary style
Pulp Fiction regular

and that's just for starters

the auction will also include some great 1930s posters like
Girls on Probation 1937
House of Danger 1934
Phantom of the West serial 1931
Sporting Blood 1931

if this auction has any posters that sell for 99 cents, it will only 
be because the auction has so many great posters that the lower 
titles will be so completely overshadowed that people will just 
forget to bid on them


YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS AUCTION

Are you a member of MoviePosterBid.com??

if not, Register NOW so you will get email notification when the auction begins

Re: [MOPO] Can anyone identify which movie this Lauren Bacall photo is from?

2011-12-10 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art

I can answer some of these questions

#1 she did not wear any such blouse in To Have and Have Not (I 
watched it last week)
#2 she did not wear any such blouse in the Big Sleep (I am the 
Raymond Chandler poster collecting King you know)
#3 none of the photos linked by Richard Evans show Bacall in said 
striped blouse

so
#4 as a result, any identification of said photo from any specific 
film or period is purely conjecture


Rob, the feeling I get is that you want to attribute this photo to a 
specific film or period for which you have little or no evidence at 
all, as such, attempting to make any attribution without certain 
evidence is a dis-service to any customer and I do not think that 
your boss Jim Halperin would ask you to claim the photo is anything 
other than what is certain - that it is a vintage photograph of 
Lauren Bacall from an unspecified film or unspecified period and that 
in order for you to attribute it to anything, that you must do 
considerably more detective work before making any concrete or even 
general claims that is anything other than a photo of Lauren Bacall


I recommend, if you happen to be in the Los Angeles area, to stop by 
Eddie Brandt's Saturday Matinee, Roger Sapps Bijou Collectibles or 
even Larry Edmonds where you can physically cross reference the photo 
with some of the best archives of Hollywood Photography available.
I can also suggest the UCLA archives or the archives of the Academy 
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which also have huge archives of 
Hollywood Photography. Until such investigations can prove without 
any doubt what year or film the photo is from, there is nothing shown 
here that proves it is anything more than a  Hollywood Glamour photo 
that isn't connected to any film or specific time period


speaking as a historian of the medium of course.

No doubt that sketch is based on the pic from that series, and the 
photo showing the sketch was according to LIFE taken on May 1 1945 
at her suite at the Gotham Hotel NY.

If it was specifically shot for a particular title, couldn't The Big 
Sleep come into the mix?

Although not released til 46, shot 44-45 I believe.

From the same session at Gotham Hotel in 45 is this one, showing in 
the background the Big Sleep photo:

Though, when they were polishing Betty into Lauren, wouldn't WB have 
been likely to have taken plenty of shots, not necessarily specific 
to anything?

Hollywood was (and still is) very fashion conscious. There is little

2011-12-10 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art

I had to post those 3 links into a diff browser to see them
snapfish in particular is one of those cookies laden sites I lock out 
and once it kept going in circles, I stopped checking the other links 
so I didn't see those 2 other shots


they could very well be from the same shoot and she does have the 
same hairdoo, however it is obvious that the hairdoo on her is easily 
replicated as she has the same doo standing next to the drawing. 
Also, there is no way to attribute the photo of her in the blouse to 
Life without getting a copy of the magazine and seeing if the striped 
blouse photos appear. I can say from experience that any photograph I 
have ever seen attributed to Life magazine has their stamp on back, 
so the photo would not be from their own archives, though it could be 
from the studio or from the photographer's files


i still recommend any of the sources I cited for research to get 
closer to any specific answer and that while you can probably say the 
photo is from that time period, that there isn't anything that gives 
it specific attribution

People order pizzas and pay a delivery fee AND tip the driver a few

I wish the USPS would just raise first class postage to whatever

I'm a moderate conservative who swings left socially and right 
fiscally - yet I agree completely with what Kirby, Franc, Rich and 
others have said about how critical it is to preserve our 
beleaguered USPS.  Free markets cannot apply to a service that by 
law, goes EVERYWHERE.  Most people don't know the post office gets 
its revenue almost ENTIRELY through the sale of postage, NOT tax 
dollars.  If the post office raised its first class rate for a 
one-ounce letter to $1, I would still pay it.  The idea that 
strangers in USPS uniforms will carry a letter for you for less than 
50 cents - and deliver it to a rural location with a high degree of 
reliability - is amazing to me.


I'm also a sucker for the neither rain, nor sleet nor snow, slogan 
long associated with the USPS.  That's what the USPS is all 
about.  I've been all over the world and in terms of reliability of 
delivery, we've got one of the best postal systems anywhere.  This 
is corny but what Franc wrote about the USPS as part of our nation's 
heritage rings true for me.  I try my best to greet my postal 
carrier every day.  Just last week, in the black of night, a 
different carrier, a younger woman, came to my door carrying a large 
box on her shoulder.  She had one of those those beamed LED lights 
attached to the front of her cap so she wouldn't fall.  She was late 
but determined to get through that day's deliveries that had turned 
quickly into night.  I assessed her situation in a few seconds and 
was in awe.  And the next day she no doubt went through the same 
thing all over again, elsewhere.

FED EX is, of course, quite good where speed is necessary.  But the 
insurance things with them is not applicable to film posters.  I've posted
about this in the past.  If you insure a film poster with FED EX 
and it gets lost, they are not required to pay you.  Because works of art,
collectibles, jewelry and furs are distinctly excepted from

Grey is right about Registered Mail
people don't realize that every person at the post office that 
handles a Registered Mail item must sign a form so that every person 
in the chain can be identified if there is a loss and that any 
overnight stay it makes at any location, it is either in a vault or a 
locked cage that only one person at the post office can access


it's the single way that items over $50,000 can be shipped for 
financial security without having a specific insurance rider above 
that level in any policy

Exactly, Kirby, third party insurance is the only way when using FedEx.
They have a real self serving deal going by offering insurance on 
items they will NOT insure and selling it all the time to the unsuspecting.
I understand Sean made them see it differently on at least one 
occasion, if I heard correctly, and think that's great.
How many thousands of people will not protest once the diamond ring 
is lost and they have insured it with FedEx thinking all is well?
USPO offers Registered mail which is a very secure method as far as 
I'm concerned. It just takes the snail mail time frame, but you can 
insure up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Absolutely.  You have explained it better than I have.

I have never been able to discern WHY they have this policy --- and 
NO ONE at Fed Ex -- and I have talked
to some folks very high up the food chain -- has been able to 
explain it to me.


Why they care what it is you are sending (as far as valuation goes) 
is beyond me.  The fee for upper levels of declared value
act just like an insurance premium from what I can see.  So why it 
makes a difference what is being shipped -- I'm not smart

enough to figure that out.

I think they fear the inside job.

One can get good third party insurance for Fed EX shipments, and 
policy holders with Collectibles Insurance can

insure through them - it comes with the policy.

 If you file a claim with them, they are very quick to point out

 They simply have a declared value section where they charge you 
an additional fee to transport packages that are worth more than $100.00


 Of course this doesn't stop their clerks from asking if you would 
like to purchase insurance for your package.

Re: [MOPO] Window Card restoration question

2011-12-28 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art

I agree to just keep it

from my won perspective, I prefer raw posters to lienbacked or 
paperbacked and I totally hate restored posters
Linenbacking to me is something you do out of serious necessity for 
posters that are super-rare and in a very distressed condition


folds are not a distressed condition to me, unless you're talking 
about a poster that folded down to a postage stamp size
small holes or tears, or even large tears that really aren't visible, 
do not bother me at all.


I have a Double Indemnity wc framed right next to where I'm sitting 
at this moment.
it is the nicest condition card I have ever seen on this title with 
square corners and just a pin hole in each corner.

except it has the play dated in grease pencil in the top blank area.
I do not care
it looks great (I got it at Heritage in July, so you can look up the image)

but I know it's a psychological issue.

very simply, when I look at my posters on the wall, what I see is the 
imagery of the poster.

so when I look at the DI wc, I don't see the play dates! I see the art
same goes for the Murder My Sweet 1/2 sh framed next to the WC. I see 
the poster, I do not see the folds and when I look at the Lady in the 
Lake wc on the other side of the DI, I don't see that the top has 
been trimmed off


BECAUSE I DON'T CARE!

I don't care about the 1 inch by half inch of missing paper at the 
top of the House of Dracula 1sh, of the 3 small holes in the 
Strangers on a Train insert, or the small hole in the Drunk Driving 
1sh or any other minor defect. I have a UK Saraband for Dead Lovers 
1sh I bought from Bruce. It is torn vertically, not on the fold, from 
top to bottom
guess what.. the rip is so clean, I'm about to frame it as is! 
(although honestly, I do mean to get it restored.. that is a serious defect)


In my collection, less than 1% of my posters are linenbacked or 
paperbacked. Generally they are posters that are very rare, and so 
I'll take them however I can get them, or they were very cheap and 
I'll have it as filler until I can find a raw copy


I just replaced the on-linen Japanese Lady in the Lake with an 
unbacked copy and a linen Brasher Doubloon Australian 1sh with an 
unbacked copy..


I WANT RAW POSTERS.

think of this also.. down the road.. raw unbacked copies of any 
poster that is available in both fashions will be worth much more 
than their linenbacked counter-parts.


I want RAW!

Rich

Keep it I say.

Don't know for certain about values with these, but generally I 
thought everything was moving away from over-restoration.


And the particular charm of window cards is that they can come with 
a record of their history.


Makes no sense to destroy that, since that's a big part of the 
appeal for collecting.


Though in an ideal world it'll be nicely printed, and not bad marker scrawl.

Hi,

I recently framed a Wild Bunch window card.  As I was sliding the 
card into the frame I noticed (for the first time) that the top 
blank area was painted.  I only discovered this because I was 
framing the card in front of the window and the paint was not 
transparent in the sunlight.


I have a couple of unfolded window cards which I would like to have 
restored.  An original White Heat has some water damage in the 
lower empty border and the other (Rebel Without a Cause) needs to 
be cleaned.  Both have theatre showtimes in the card's top blank area.


From a collector's point of view...does the value / appeal of a 
window card diminish / increase when the top area of the card is sprayed over?


I don't mind lettering indicating what day and time the film was 
showing...from my point of view it kind of captures that moment in 
time when the film was released.  I'm generally more concerned with 
pinholes, missing paper, damage to the window card's image, or if a 
card is folded/unfolded.


Since I'm fairly new to poster collecting I'd like to get some 
input from seasoned collectors to decide if I should keep the 
lettering when I send the cards for restoration or have it sprayed over.


Thanks

Michael

Hello,

I have a Thunderball 40x60 that I would like either linen or 
paper-backed. Any recommendations of a great linen-backer that can 
accomodate the 40x60 size would be really appreciated. I have talked 
with a few and none seem to be able to do the larger size.


Thanks!

It' an old MOVIE POSTER so obviously it's worth a LOT of money.

However, STRETCHED and framed is a new wrinkle on the know nothing 
sales pitch.


Phil, that's art term

when a painting is done on canvas, it is stretched onto a wooden 
frame to prevent it from wrinkling which damages the art. this 
usually requires the excess linen or canvas to be wrapped around the 
wood on the stretcher before it is mounted into the frame itself


I have bought linenbacked posters that were indeed wrapped to a stretcher

Re: [MOPO] ITALIAN TAXI DRIVER 24SH WITH AMERICAN ARTWORK: ONE OF A KIND

2012-01-20 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art

I have a 30sheet for King Kong 1976
but rather than being folded up, the pieces are rolled up, which is 
probably better for a piece of this nature


I also have an Escape From NY smaller billboard piece that must be 
only maybe 12 feet long. it is also rolled and if I recall correctly 
it is only 3 or 6 pieces and they are very expertly pasted together 
at the vertical seams


both posters really do kick ass



At 02:20 PM 1/20/2012, Richard Evans wrote:

Don't mind the artwork at all, or it being a slight variation on the usual.
And associate that style of loose brushwork particularly with 
Italian posters, Ercole Brini etc.


I had completely forgotten I have a humungous French billboard for 
Pickpocket, great art for that scale with CU of hand going in the 
pocket, which is of course remaining a piece of ephemera folded up in a drawer.

you can start at any price and have a reserve of any price is my understanding

like the White Christmas lobby card set that ended a couple days ago 
at $199.99 (which was apparently the reserve price) and started at $9.99



At 03:15 PM 2/6/2012, Phillip W. Ayling wrote:
Is there any policy regarding EBay reserves? Often times in real 
auctions when there is a reserve, the opening bid requirement might 
be half of that reserve or something similar. Recently I noticed 
bidding on a poster where the reserve was not met, yet the high and 
unsuccessful bid was more than 45 times the opening required bid. 
Anyone know the point to structuring auctions like that?

I should add.. I've just stopped bidding on 99% of reserved item I 
look at on ebay. I have to want it badly to know that I'll go against 
the reserve on ebay


some sellers the reserves are pretty obvious as they frequently have

some sellers - like Sabee for instance - I don't even look at their 
stuff anymore. It all has reserves and I don't have time for that

Is there any policy regarding EBay reserves? Often times in real 
auctions when there is a reserve, the opening bid requirement might 
be half of that reserve or something similar. Recently I noticed 
bidding on a poster where the reserve was not met, yet the high and 
unsuccessful bid was more than 45 times the opening required bid. 
Anyone know the point to structuring auctions like that?

2,495.00 for HAVE ROCKET WILL TRAVEL one sheet, from 1959.

Grey,
That 3 Little Beers is a wonderful poster 
because of the large portraits of the 
boys.  And from one of the '30's movies to boot.


Right now Ebay has a number of the Stooges 
posters from the '40's-'50's for sale.  Prices range from $35,000.00 to $2100.
I'm sure Emovieposter and Heritage have solid 
figures as far as what the Stooges posters really sell for these days.


From what I've found most of the Stooges 
posters from the '50's back are hard to 
find.  With a few exceptions.  Some titles 
from the '50's I see over and over again for 
sale, and other posters from that time period 
I hardly ever see on the auction block.

John,
I agree that there’s still a strong fan base for anything Stooges related.
But the later material for the Stooge’s 
shorts is much more common than the earlier 
material and thus the Curly shorts much more actively sought!

Heritage has sold some exceptional pieces for exceptional prices of late.
Not only one sheets and cards as in the case of 
the “Three Little Beers” sold in November 
but also in black and white still photos  for 
the Curly shorts, going for $300-500 per!
I agree that the Shemp shorts are very funny, 
but let’s face it; the Stooges were not at 
their peak without the bald-headed one!

Now that the auction is over I'll put in my 2 
cents. I've collected Stooges posters for 
years, and I've never cared for this 3D poster.
 I can't afford the Curly posters, but there 
are many of the Shemp posters I really 
like.  There are also a few that I wouldn't 
pay much for, and this was one of them.
The Stooges fan base is getting older.  But I 
would say most people, young and old know who 
they are.  The same can't be said for all old 
stars.  I had a 19 year old kid tell me he'd 
never heard of Boris Karloff and Bela 
Lugosi.  But he knew who the 3 Stooges 
were.  And being a red blooded American male, he liked them.


And don't forget there is a new Stooges movie 
coming out soon.  So they are long from being forgotten.

Stooges posters from the post-Curly period have

The userid's are proficient911 and panosnatalia1968

I filed Non paying Bidder claims for 9 items totalling more than

I see that the buyer is still registered.


Just curious as to whether everyone else followed up with the non

I'm really,really SORRY,! Please,understand the economic collapse 
of Greece is inevitable, and cancel the transaction. Forgive me for 
all the trouble I caused you, but,unfortunatelly, I am not capable 
of paying you. Money is so tied, and I foolisly got carried away

sorry, so I expect your leniency. God Bless...


Be sure and put him on a blocked bidder list.  Thanks, Channing Thomson

Re: [MOPO] dealers/collectors

2012-02-17 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art
it's a shame I can't just keep every nice item 
that comes across my path, but when asked for 
advice, I tell people they need to sell the vast 
majority of material they own BEFORE THEY DIE.


the reality is that we as collectors or dealers 
know what something is worth, so if you have a 
million dollar collection, you should sell it 
before you're gone and leave your heirs the money 
which should be several hundreds of thousands, 
rather than leave them a collection of stuff they 
have no interest in nor any knowledge about, and 
they sell the collection to the first person who 
offers them $50,000 (if that much)


I'm selling certain collections I have right now 
working toward a financial consolidation, as I am 
not immune to my own mortality

Betreff: Re: [MOPO] QUESTION ABOUT THE SIZE OF SILENCE OF THE LAMBS

So are there any poster dealers on MOPO who are poster collectors?
I for one don't see it as being a negative.  In 
fact I think if I'm dealing with a person that 
is a collector as well as a seller, there is a 
better understanding between us.   They may in 
fact have the same tastes as I do, and have a 
good understanding why I'm looking for a specific poster and why I like it.
I've bought many posters from other collectors, 
and some times there is a camaraderie that you 
don't always get from someone that just sells what they consider wares.
I also buy old cars, and you can always tell 
when you you are buying a car from a person that 
has a real passion for old steel.  It's in your blood I guess.


But don't get me wrong, ultimately it's about 
acquiring the piece.  Whether it's from a 
seller/collector or a person that solely sells.

Allen et al,

I don't disagree with your business analysis 
here, but you are incorrect about all dealers 
being collectors, technically or otherwise.

I know what a collector is, and I am not one.
Maybe most dealers are.  That wouldn't surprise me.
Certainly the kind of seller one sees on ebay, a 
guy with a day job who likes posters and sells to support

is habit, is a collector.
You may say that I am collecting inventory, but this is a semantic nuance.
I am not personally a collector.
I have never said to a client, for example, 
that's in my personal collection.  It's not for sale.
On occasions, over the years, I have entertained 
starting a collection.  At one time I wanted to
start a collection of film posters for films 
which had as their title the name of a place.  Like CHINATOWN or KENTUCKY
or FORT WORTH.  But I did not do that, and I can 
honestly say that while I admire certain types of posters enormously I

have never bought one for myself personally with no intention of selling it.

To wit:

If one wishes to sell (as in a business model), 
one has trouble performing that task from an 'empty wagon'.


If one wishes to have a store, be it a 
brick/mortar establishment or a virtual entity, 
it may seem dubious to to attempt a sale with minimal wares.


Any professional dealer (that I have 
encountered) has hundreds (or thousands) of wares.


If sales/net profits justify a continuing 
enterprise ... customers become clients and the 
dealer then adjusts inventory to match client 
needs. Inventory (the dealer's collection) must 
be replenished; the dealer tailors his future 
purchases to match changing/future buyer's tastes.


If the prospective dealer has a poor business 
model/retires/divorces/dies/loses interest, that 
is why the auction business exists/thrives.


BTW ... anything I own or collect is for sale 
for the right price (including the shirt off my back).

I actually do have some autographed photos

I have a 1930s karloff photo signed in the 30s as well as a 1950s 
photo signed that if you have Dick Bojarski's Karloff book, you can 
see a pic of Karloff signing a small stack of this photo for kids at a theatre


I have a signed 1920s portrait pic of Doug Fairbanks sr, a 1940s 
Edward G, a George Raft, and some other items.


when I met Dennis Hopper at CineVegas, he practically tried to force 
an autograph on me and his secretary later called me making sure I 
didn't want one when I refused both times as I told both of them that 
just meeting him was what I had wanted to do and our little chat 
would always be remembered


now I wish I had had him sign the damned poster

I was SHOCKED.  It was the foulest and most 
racist picture I'd ever seen.  But I went again 
and again, each time with a new group of 
friends.  It got funnier even though there's no 
nudity nor a single f-word in the entire 
picture.  Looking back, it's typical juvenile 
humor by Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor 
and their gang of crazy writers that mostly men 
enjoy.  I took my Dad with my brothers to see it 
and we all howled.  But then I took my 
girlfriend to see it and she hated it.  She was 
OFFENDED.  That was the kind of picture it 
was.  (I wonder if other MoPo'ers can share what their experiences were like.)

Frankenstein came out in beautiful 
b/w.  (Cloris Leachman as Frau Blucher:  He vas 
my boyfriend!)  It was funny, but Blazing 
Saddles is still the best parody ever.  Hell, 
any movie that introduces a black sheriff riding 
on a horse decked out in a Gucci saddle 
(close-up on the Gucci logo), with jazzy music, 
and then the camera pulls back and you see Count 
Basie and his orchestra playing that music in 
the middle of a vast desert - has to be good.

And later when they are getting to know each other a bit:

Folks-OK, Ebay is implementing another gestapo tactic on sellers. 
When is somebody gonna come up with a competitive site??


Glenn
it already happened in 2004 when JR started MoviePosterBid

the simple facts are, that virtually no one supported the site.
The result was JR got tired of listening to people bitch about ebay, 
and not use the alternative, and he sold the site.
Of course there would be growth issues (poor biz to start as things 
get promo and growth etc), but if people aren't willing to co-operate 
with the alternatives - they have no one to blame but themselves.


When I bought the site in 2006, I announced that I would maintain an 
open site to allow other dealers to list their wares and still, no 
one came. Now I'm no longer approving anyone to sell, as aside from 
those few dealers that did support MPB (and still do), I see no 
reason to allow others to compete with me from my own site for only a 
small fee. The dealers that have supported MPB don't make a killing, 
but they do make sales  they are appreciative, so I allow them to 
sell to show my mutual appreciation for them.


Now you have MoviePosterExchange.com that you can sell on if you like 
and I am certain it will be successful.


You have choices, but like any fledging business, you have to be 
willing to put in the work now so you can reap the benefits later. 
Anyone not willing to participate with the alternatatives in the 
growing pains of hard work so they can move away from ebay will only 
have themselves to blame and will continue to bitch  moan that ebay 
is screwing them.


There are solutions, but if people don't avail themselves of the 
solutions, then there are no answers

Many of these items have been expensive items, a number of which are

#1 do you ever buy anything from Heritage
#2 if you buy anything from Heritage, have you ever gotten an item 
you feel was misrepresented?
#3 if you ever got an item you felt was misrepresented, did you 
explain any dissatisfaction to Grey Smith or any other Heritage employee
#4 if you explained any any dissatisfaction to Grey Smith or any 
other Heritage employee, did you get a satisfactory response


but really, #1 do you ever buy anything from Heritage
if not, then exactly why would you have a gripe?? which is exactly 
what you seem to have.
if yuo haven't bought anything from Heritage, then how do you know if 
Heritage has boosted any image color?
do you have anything in your possession that you bought that you can 
point to that has a color differential at all, or is everything you 
have stated in this thread - just as in the APF thread - just conjecture?

As I stated in the thread on APF, stating conjecture as fact is WRONG.
If you have nothing in your possession that you can point to that has 
had it's color boosted by Heritage, then you have no proof and 
everything you write of is just pure conjecture.

I agree, Steve. As i mentioned earlier, this discussion has also been
going on at APF. If someone wants to boost or enhance images in a book
or on their own site, containing posters in their collection that are
not for sale, that is all well and good.

Items for sale or auction, (and especially high end items) should be
shown as they truly are and appear (even after restoration or
backing). No extra color enhancement should be done to an item.

Ps- Others have expressed similar questions or observations, on other
poster message boards, franc. And isnt the purpose of a forum or
message board supposed to be a place to express opinions, observations
and to be able to ask questions without being jumped on? I wasnt
attacking you or HA.  Yet you reply with your Get a grip response.

If a simple question like Does HA boost or saturate their online
images? cannot be asked without individuals becoming upset or snippy,
then there is a problem.

Re: [MOPO] Are boosted images clever marketing or outright deception?

2012-03-03 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art
Kerry, it is correct that you can get on a soapbox such as MoPo or 
APF and publicly post and yes, an open discussion is endorsed.
However, there comes a point where facts are not always in the favor 
of the person posting.
You have admitted that you have never bought from Heritage, therefore 
you have no idea whether any of the conjecture you pose is even close 
to true, however if you go back back and read all of your posts both 
in this thread and on APF, some of your comments come across as 
stated facts and/or leading questions indicating facts. That's just wrong.


Bruce has a boner for Heritage, so he constantly stirs the pot and 
gins up the crowd. One can only guess what motivation he has and 
myself, while I have expressed privately to Bruce my opinions, I'm 
not in the habit of attacking my competitors in any way and at the 
same time, I'm not one to tell Bruce or Heritage how to do anything 
they do either commercially or personally. Bruce and Grey are both big boys


If I have a bone to pick with someone - and I'm not talking about 
posting about some stupid ebay seller who doesn't know how to ship - 
I may tell a friend, but I'm not all that likely to post about it 
publicly except in extreme cases, like if someone screws me straight 
up I might say something about that.


Bruce has done great things for the movie poster hobby over the last 
30 years and he was pretty good in comics before that.
Similarly, Heritage has done great things for the hobby in the last 
10 years. Grey Smith himself was no stranger to the movie poster 
hobby long before he took a job at Heritage (although I was not 
fortunate enough to have known him then).


as I stated on APF, the photography people at Heritage work 
autonomously from the Movie Poster people. The same goes for every 
division under the corporate umbrella at Heritage. Photographers work 
under certain teachings - color correction, image correction, certain 
lighting conditions, using high def CMOS element cameras, they use a 
photography table that opens up so you can put a poster down and then 
it closes so that a large glass panel presses down on the poster 
flattening it out for photography. They color match their monitors 
and their scanner or cameras so that what they see is what they get. 
They do all kinds of things that Bruce and I do not.


My own photos for my auctions aren't made to be color-perfect matches 
to the poster in front of me. My photos are meant specifically so 
that you can see condition issues. I don't use a CMOS camera. I don't 
have a professional photography table and I can't get away from the 
fluorescent lights that are installed in this place. But I have not 
had a single complaint EVER that my photos do not match the item I am 
selling and as a Heritage buyer my feelings are no different.


I don't see any benefits from anyone trying to run down someone else 
who is doing fantastic things for the poster hobby.

If you construe my question or observations as gripes, then this is
truly fruitless. I was doing nothing of the kind, let me be clear. The
same I guess would apply to those others (on APF) that have asked or
commented on the same thing?

And one wonders why issues get blown out of proportion. Bruce asked
the question. A few have answered, myself included. I have never
griped--but made some observations. Isnt it about a healthy debate? it
is, IMO.

HA has some of the best auctions of this kind of rare material. That
is without question.

And no, I have not yet purchased from HA.

Again, if one cannot ask a question, -- or better yet, reply to the
question asked by another (meaning Bruce's earlier post), then what is
the reason for the forums in the first place?

Bruce, I completely disagree with this characterization of the thread.

I'd say it's more along the lines of:
when you post accusations, it is best to post about those things 
that you have first-hand proof and experience about, so that your 
accusations will not later be disputed as completely false or even 
just potentially false

Re: [MOPO] continuation: poster values with autographs

2012-03-06 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art
in this case I agree with some of what Kerry says, however the real 
key is this:

#1 Bette's autograph isn't big bucks $100 or so depending on factors
#2 I can't tell if it's a 1940s vintage autograph or a 1970s 
autograph (and it makes a difference)


so the best you would be looking for is this $300 poster with a $100 
autograph = $400


this is not the same as the It Happened One Night tc in Heritage soon 
with a Frank Capra autograph
Capra's autograph is worth less than Bette's about $50, but in that 
particular combination, the card could be worth a lot more than before


if such a card were inscribed To Claudette, it was wonderful working 
with you on this movie that would increase the item greatly



At 02:43 PM 3/6/2012, lovenoir2 wrote:

If the autograph cannot be authenticated (not meaning a COA that
anyone can create and print), and is a fake, it would bring the
poster's value way down. In looking at the seller's description, he
mentions nothing about where the autograph came from or who obtained
it. He only talks about who the person may have been that it was
inscribed to.

And for many poster collectors, even an authentic signature on a
poster is viewed as a kind of graffiti. So even if genuine, the
signature wouldnt necessarily boost the value, but could drop it as
well.

Ultimately, it would be of more value to a collector who likes posters
or other memorabilia that is signed.

I see, too, that Bruce just sold a backed copy of this OS in December
2011, for 368.00.

While Hollywood has always cared about overseas box office, 
production chiefs still craft their films foremost with U.S. 
audiences in mind.  This is a country, after all, of 300 
million.  This explains the American-centric drive of U.S.-financed 
pictures that puzzle sophisticated audiences in the U.K., for 
example, e.g., the casting of William Holden in Bridge Over the 
River Kwai, the singular U.S. perspective of the D-Day landing in 
Saving Private Ryan, the casting of Steve McQueen and James Garner 
in The Great Escape, etc.  Even today, a U.S. film that does 
poorly here but makes up its investment overseas is considered a 
blemish to its prestige in the industry, e.g., Costner's 
Waterworld, last year's Cowboys and Aliens and 1963's 
Cleopatra - the latter which nearly destroyed Fox.  (Incredibly, 
the #1 overseas market for U.S. films is not in Europe - but in 
Asia, specifically Japan.)  In the end, for all the clamor for 
better made pictures, the Hollywood model is still geared towards 
making money by targeting young people, resulting in an overall 
poorer quality product unless you purposely chase mature audiences 
(as in temperament, and not necessarily age) - such as independent 
films which can still make money because of low production 
budgets.  It's why Woody Allen is still making films despite a 
mostly mediocre output since 1989.  One thing for sure - despite the 
quality of John Carter, Disney's and director Stanton's original 
plans to make two sequels of this film in the years ahead are dead.

True, John Carter is meaningless except to ERB fanboys, but Disney 
has had terrible luck with any movie with Mars in the title. Both 
last year's Mars Needs Moms and, from years ago, Misson to Mars were 
major flops. So Disney may be shying away from the whole Mars thing. 
And if they weren't before, they sure will now.

The sad thing is a film like The Artist, which has done poor 
business in the U.S. despite winning the Oscar last month for Best 
Picture - is not considered a flop because it had a modest 
production budget.  (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

I'm sure the way that fleaBay accomplishes the national ban is by

their Nudie-cum-bluegrass outfits. Lester Flatt looked like he 
wanted to kill somebody, preferably someone with hair that went past 
their collar. He was openly antagonistic.  Earl Scruggs, on the

attention and sincere enjoyment of their great bluegrass by this 
odd-looking audience. He saw a crowd of people who loved music; 
Flatt saw a crowd of hippie scum. They broke up the following year.

Re: [MOPO] Potential Conflict of Interest? Is Gavel-Snipe owned by Heritage?

2012-04-18 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art
I don't recall how I found out that Heritage is a financial backer of 
Gavelsnipe (which is probably more appropriate than calling them a 
corporate ownership), but I've known, it's been talked about on Comic 
Book forums and the like.. But I have never been worried one bit 
about leaving my bids on gavelsnipe and it's easy for me to see how 
much money I have saved on both ebay and Heritage auctions by looking 
at my snipes and how mostly, they've never gotten close to my winning bids


then again, I'm not a conspiracist.
I know the only way for two people to keep a secret is if one of them is dead

I agree with Kirby too, particularly with his comment: Any proxy 
bid system could be undermined with enough 'nefariousness' at work.


Hence while I wrote my essay with a level of air-tightness - I was 
trying to convey less personal suspicion about any nefariousness 
at work by Heritage - (and it's only because I know and trust Grey) 
- but with more concern about the link between GavelSnipe and 
Heritage - and how in my view, it has a level of newsworthiness with 
the media that Heritage doesn't need.  Don't think so?  Just REPLACE 
Heritage's name in my essay below - with Sotheby's or Christie's 
or Profiles in History.  You see, your emotional reaction is based 
on the type of relationship and comfort level you may or may not 
already have with any auction house on earth.  This is really a 
personal preference thing with people, e.g., they either trust the 
leash between the two entities - or they don't.  I just put it out 
there because I know most people will read it - and most as a result 
will mull it over as another quirky element that riddles all 
hobbies, not just ours. -d.

I have used Gavelsnipe many times for Heritage and Ebay auctions and 
I have never had even one whiff
of a feeling that I was being run up.  I'm glad that this service 
exists because I like the snipe process.  I

can set it and forget it.

Doesn't mean it couldn't happen if some nefarious persons wanted to

* With the impending launch of Peter Contarino's, Sean Linkenback's

now), I've been visiting their MoviePosterExchange.com site.  It's 
easy to navigate and very user-friendly.  (BTW, where in the heck 
did the highly-touted $850,000 Metropolis 3-sheet go?  I can't 
find it!  Did it sell?)  At any rate, while visiting the site's 
FAQs, I read that it has partnered with GavelSnipe, the sniping 
program service, which will be available to bidders for timed 
auctions.  That's good news.


* But what's interesting - and this has nothing to do with 
MoviePosterExchange.com - is GavelSnipe appears to be owned by 
Heritage.  If I'm wrong, please correct me - and a thousand

shilling and what not with Heritage's auctions - than I am about 
transparency.  GavelSnipe's murky origins are troubling.  I couldn't 
find much info about who owns or runs it.  This is NOT a criticism

What's going on with Heritage's Customer Service today?  Is it broken??

I called 5 times during their working hours, nobody picks up but 
kept getting a recording stating what they're hours of operation are.
Then it says to enter an extension if you know your parties 
extension.  So I put in 150, which is the extension for customer 
service and then a recording

comes on saying, this is an invalid entry!

Extremely frustrating, especially since I called early in the week 
asking why the shipping on last weeks purchase of 19 photos was 
higher than the shipping on my last 5 purchases which consisted of 
much bigger and heavier items
and was told they would adjust it and someone would get back to me, 
which they never did.  That's the only reason I had to call today 
and waste some more time.


Maybe, the Customer Service staff is out to lunch??

Again, this is very frustrating and a waste of time on top of it.

[MOPO] Fritz Lang and the Testament of Dr Mabuse

2012-05-30 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art

Some of you may know something about one area of collecting in my hobby.
Bruce certainly knows this, as he has sold me a number of items for 
this particular sub-section of my collection. Walter knows also, as does Grey


what is it?

Fritz Lang

I have loved Lang's work ever since I first saw Siegfried on PBS in 
NYC as an 11 year old movie fan.
PBS screened several of Lang's films when I was a boy. Metropolis, 
Die Nibelungen, Spione, Woman in the Moon, the Spiders (Die Spinnen), 
Destiny.. I had seen them all. I'm guessing that prints of Testament 
were not readily available and that the overlong Mabuse the Gambler 
probably never fit the time slot, no matter what massacred version 
was available, so that I hadn't seen until I was older and Testament 
until I was much older as I don't think any kind of good prints were 
available and of course I also saw most of his Hollywood work. Of c 
ourse, as time went by, better  better prints with more footage 
added to the fun of watching his films. I obtained the numerous books 
on Lang (including one by Peter Bogdanovich) and German cinema before I was 15


Lang was a genius. It's as simple as that. Few directors reach the 
height that he did. Literally every one of his films through the 
middle forties is a classic and highly rated, no matter how small his 
budget was. William Wyler would be his direct competitor at this 
level, but of course, neither beats the other in the contest from the 
perspective of artistic merit (although we all know Wyler films won 
more oscars for more actors than any other). Lang's successor would 
be another great film maker - Stanley Kubrick. I think that any 
Kubrick film could have been made by Lang and the resulting material 
would be nearly the same. The underlying match between the two of 
course is the bleak landscape of life that is the underlying theme of 
all of their work. They are auteur directors of the first degree.


anyway... Bruce has in his current auctions an Austrian program for 
Testament of Dr Mabuse (there is no German program as the film was 
banned immediately and is the reason Lang left Germany with nothing 
more than the clothes he was wearing). In Bruce's description he says:
the movie is a sequel of sorts to Lang's 5 hour silent movie Dr. 
Mabuse, which is sometimes shown in two parts; some people consider 
this movie to be Lang's very best movie, amazing since he also did 
Metropolis and M!


as a major Lang fan, I wonder if this is correct or not. From my 
perspective, I think that the Siegfried-Die Nibelungen two film combo 
is Lang's best, especially in it's completely restored version now 
available. But the real problem in rating Lang's German films (which 
are his best, period!) is that each one is a true masterpiece of some 
form and trying to say one masterpiece is better than another 
masterpiece seems to be somewhat self-defeating as a philosophy. No 
doubt, other Lang fans will have a different favorite than myself and 
don't get me wrong, Testament is an incredible film and I watch it 
regularly. But for me.. the Siegfried's are the best


what do other collectors  Fritz Lang fans say?

ps: Bruce.. Testament is most definitely a sequel to Mabuse Der 
Spieler. There are at least a couple references of some sort to the 
earlier film and of course the make-up is the same

I concur wholeheartedly….you just can’t ship a

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.

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

2012-06-05 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art

David

I think you have mis-characterized what is going on this thread somewhat

No one has accused Geraldine of anything, or at least I certainly 
haven't. Why has anyone other than Grey commented? well that's 
simple.. Geraldine has posted to a public forum with many members. I 
have seen both collectors and dealers comment and Grey himself 
commented to one of her earlier posts. Most posts have been pretty 
fair to both sides. I.E. none of us can know if Geraldine did or did 
not send the posters she declares are missing, or if she mistakenly 
stating that she has, not knowing these posters will be found at a 
later date in their home.


In any case, her claim has a hard way to go. She stated pretty simply 
she got $11,000 for some poster that she did not know that Charlie 
sent or she sent or who knows who sent (as some much of her posts are 
somewhat confusing), so that says to me that she really isn't sure on 
any level what was sent as she thinks she sent some valuable poster, 
but had no idea she had actually sent a different and more valuable poster.


She is also here, on MoPo, specifically for the purpose it seems of 
disparaging Rudy  Heritage. Her posts are not benign by any stretch 
of the imagination and and it has been getting repeated continually 
for several weeks. I think it's only natural that quite a few people 
will chime in on such posts as they are designed to elicit a response 
from people.


My suggestion to Geraldine would be that if she feels she has enough 
proof to show she did indeed send these posters, that she go to the 
forum that would produce a judgement in her favor: the courts system, 
or via direct negotiation with Heritage and that posting her problem 
here to MoPo would therefore not be the correct forum for her 
dispute. However I do not agree with some other people that she 
should not post on MoPo her dispute. She certainly can, but she will 
get a response from someone of course.


Of course, we actually already know that she has negotiated with 
Heritage on the issue, Heritage disputes her claim, but offered to 
give to the charity of her choice the proposed value of these 
posters. We know all this not because Grey posted it, but because 
Geraldine posted it. None the less, it is apparent that Geraldine 
feels that she and not some charity should get the money for these 
posters that she says she sent, are not present on any inventory, and 
that Heritage says they did not receive them and it feels unseemly to 
them to pay her thousands of dollars for posters they don't believe 
she sent them.


How do you think any third party might adjudicate this situation David??
do you think Heritage's offer to make a charitable donation to the 
charity of Geraldine's choice actually might be fair in light of all 
these circumstances and do you feel it is right for Geraldine to 
repeatedly and purposefully libel Heritage on this forum without repercussions?

My goodness, no kidding.  I wish people would stop extrapolating 
the motives of and/or speaking on behalf of Heritage.  If it 
wants, it can chime in.  All of these testimonials are 
sickening.  I think Grey is a fine guy, but it's wild to read the 
genuflecting posts which give Heritage all the benefit of the doubt 
while casting Geraldine as a senile loon.  On one hand people stop 
short of calling her a liar, but regardless of any errors she may 
have made (and it appears she has made a few) - it's also clear that 
a WAY-too-disproportionate number of rebuking' responses have come 
dealers - with only a few posts from collectors like Carlos, who has 
no dog in this race, yet who applauds the discussion of things that 
sometimes go awry in the hobby.  If you are tired of this thread 
and/or want it to die on its own, stop responding.  But some of you 
guys are unreal.  (And geez, it's always the alpha-males who feel 
compelled to defend, rationalize or process the thoughts and actions 
of a guy most of us like - while simultaneously doing the same in an 
almost entirely adverse way against an outsider.  The ratio of 
dealers posting their thoughts about consumer-related problems - 
feels like a rigged card deck that's stacked 10-to-1 against 
collectors.  Lurkers can't feel good about the way this has played 
out on MoPo.  And I'd bet more than a few who've quietly read some 
of the posts thus far - are taking mental notes of who they will 
buy, sell or consign their very valuable collections in the future. -d.

you think I would use?? (said with a humorous twist as you know you are my pal)


I only have a minute as I have auctions still listing.. but 
concerning this particular quote:
I think Geraldine's chances would improve if she can prove 
class-action negligence on behalf of more consignors like herself


I agree with you.. but that's because based on everything she's said 
about this issue to date convinces me that she has absolutely no 
chance of getting a beneficial adjudication otherwise, be it in front 
of a judge or an arbitrator. so even a 1% chance of winning in a 
class is better than no chance of winning otherwise.


she may also have damaged her case due to the way she posted here 
about this issue.. Not about posting itself, but the manner in which 
she has posted
for instanc e, I believe she has only posted this issue each time 
Rudy has posted about something else. as if she was stalking Rudy so 
she could post.
then it is pretty obvious that her intent is to disparage, which any 
court or arbitrator frowns upon


It's easy to understand she feels she has been screwed, however there 
is no proof put forth, and that makes it awful hard to find for her.


you can't always win David and sometimes you do have to settle for 
what you can get


and Bruce.. why should you be surprised Brek chimed in? he had 
something pertinent to say.. But everyone needs to remember 
something.. this is a PUBLIC FORUM.. it invites comment. I wish more 
people would comment

I was very impressed that Brek joined this fray, with nothing to 
gain whatsoever, Obviously he was motivated to post because he saw a 
person who has been repeated dumped on, solely for having alleged 
that they were treated in a certain way, and since he believes he 
had the same experience with the very same party, he felt compelled 
to write himself (and oddly, no one has challenged HIS version of 
the facts or HIS competence).


Now, when this person is scorned yet again, David feels compelled to 
make a stand as well!


I no longer think this resembles Mr, Smith Goes to Washington. It is 
far more similar to a classic scene from another movie, seen here:

How do you think any third party might adjudicate this situation David??
do you think Heritage's offer to make a charitable donation to the 
charity of Geraldine's choice actually might be fair in light of all 
these circumstances and do you feel it is right for Geraldine to 
repeatedly and purposefully libel Heritage on this forum without repercussions?



Rich -

* I don't need to guess how a third party might adjudicate 
this.  To do so in Grey's direction would be prejudicial because he 
is a friend, therefore, my views cannot be realistically nor legally 
be accepted as objective nor impartial.  My opinion does not 
matter.  But since you asked, I think Geraldine's chances would 
improve if she can prove class-action negligence on behalf of more 
consignors like herself.  This is the method, coincidentally, that a 
person is also more likely to have success garnering media coverage 
- which I maintain is way more damaging to a company's long-term 
reputation and ability to retain market share - than a lawsuit 
involving monetary damages.  If she took this to the media with 
others in tow, she could have fun with it even if she loses.


* Do I think Heritage's offer is fair?  It depends if it were you, 
not Geraldine, faced with this offer - and if you yourself thought 
it was fair.  It's not for anyone to judge what's fair to you.

More than that however, when I was a young teen, and before I had 
been introduced to Raymond Chandler, Bradbury was my favorite 
novelist and the Martian Chronicles was my favorite book


he was a great guy
he loved his fans every bit as much as they loved him, which is 
something that can also be said of his two best friends, Harryhausen

Seems to me, a professional auction company doing what is close to a 
billion dollars worth of annual sales would have a very good 
double-ledger type of accounting software tied to a database which 
could help staff evaluate poster's worth and track it's movement 
through their system. That same software would not allow an employee 
to simply remove it's existence from their inventory.


Seems to me if a professional auction company has high end Signature 
auctions and weekly low-end auctions, posters going in the low-end 
auction would be in the same database.


Seems to me, if a company like Bruce's which does a high volume of 
annual sales is capable of keeping track of their customer's 
inventory, a company like Heritage, which specialized in high end 
Signature auctions, should be able to keep track of inventory


The question is, does a high end company like Heritage depend on 
their customer's inventory to evaluate a poster's worth or a 
shipment? Doubt it.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Bruce vs Heritage inventory  auciton services

These conversations move very rapidly, especially when one gets 
loopy after a lot of hours writing emails. My apologies...


I don't know if you've been following the discussion about our 
submissions to Heritage and our stock -- which we had been told by 
Grey were tagged and inventoried -- disappearing. We were never 
paid for them and they weren't returned.


After Heritage only listed a portion of our posters on their 
inventory, Rudy Franchi told us Heritage didn't want the common 
posters -- like the Judge Dredd double sided transparency posters 
used in light box marquees we had sent in our first consignment 
batch -- and suggested we consign the higher valued posters to 
Heritage, and common posters like the aforementioned Dredd to Bruce.


I posted my submission to Bruce on MOPO because there was a lot of 
talk about my responsibility for sending an un-inventoried lot to 
Heritage. In fact, some MOPOers said I was to blame for their 
disappearance at Heritage because I hadn't inventoried them or 
pursued Grey about their status.


Well, at the same time we sent our 2nd batch of posters to Heritage, 
we sent an equal sized consignment batch to Bruce. Like the Heritage 
consignment, this consignment to Bruce was not inventoried.


I haven't been posting Bruce illegally appropriated my goods because 
there wasn't a problem with payments or returns.


The deal was straight ahead and worked without any effort on my part.

And if Bruce wears a kilt or has good legs... well, I couldn't say.

2012-06-09 Thread Richard Halegua Comic Art

Bruce

you mischaracterize some of our positions (those of us who have made comments).

I am neither for Heritage nor for Geraldine

I am for seeing things in a realistic and fair way and honestly, 
Geraldine is piling on.

and piling on
and piling on

If you look at my initial posts in this thread, I am clearly neutral, 
and I only finally created this thread after weeks of not commenting 
on Geraldine's claims at all. I am not a Heritage supporter as you 
characterize. I am all for right and wrong.


It's easy to understand that she is pissed off and she feels she's 
been ripped off.
Whatever the reality - if she did or did not send these posters - the 
problem I see is that she has no inventory of what she sent, there is 
a dispute of an inventory Heritage provided, and she disagrees with 
that inventory


Grey Smith as agent of Heritage has offered to donate a negotiated 
amount to the charity of Geraldine's choice, even though he does not 
believe he received the posters that Geraldine claims. I'm not sure 
what else you would expect someone to do, although it's obvious that 
Geraldine feels Heritage should pay her directly, even though she has 
no inventory to back up her claim.


If I was in Grey's position, I wouldn't do anything different. If I 
was in her position, as the realist that you know I am, I would 
accept the charitable offer, choose a charity, and move on.


However, Geraldine has repeatedly impugned Heritage, even though she 
has no absolute inventory of what she sent Heritage.

Don't you see a problem here??

Geraldine wants to say, in different words of course, that she isn't 
trying to disparage Heritage. I dispute her characterization in that 
regard completely and as concerns my good friend David, for whom I 
have lots of respect, when he says no one should be commenting other 
than Geraldine or Heritage, I think he is completely wrong.


Geraldine, by virtue of posting her claims into a public forum 
engenders commentary by all of those who are members of this forum, 
otherwise she should be speaking either directly to Heritage via 
whatever other form of communication she choose, or seeing as she has 
an attorney apparently working on this situation and Heritage equally 
no doubt has an opposing attorney, then she probably should have 
discontinued posting to any forum as long as the legal eagles are 
dealing with the issue, she shouldn't probably be saying anything to 
anyone so as not to present herself in a position where Heritage 
could counter-sue her on grounds of disparagement and interference as 
well as whatever other civil tenets she might be offending.


That does not mean I am saying Geraldine should not post to the group 
if she so chooses. Similarly, she should not be insulted by anyone 
else who chooses to respond.


To further delve into what David said: As to how this has unfolded 
at MoPo - it is my personal view that Geraldine should just post and 
people who are truly Heritage's friends should shut up.
by that measure, David must equally feel then that Bruce should not 
comment on any issue that involves, Heritage, Movie Poster Exchange, 
MoviePosterBid, eBay, Sotheby's, Christie's or any similar entity 
because, well golly, we're all competitors. But before you ask do I 
really think that should be the case? Absolutely not. There is no 
reason why anyone here, yourself and myself included, should not be 
able post our feelings or to comment on anything posted to MoPo - 
a  p u b l i c  f o r u m - by other members. Anything else would not 
only be against the rules of the forum, it would be against the first 
amendment rights we are all supposed to share. If Geraldine wishes to 
continuously post her whine, she shouldn't be offended when people 
respond to it, no matter what position pro or con that anyone takes. 
The same goes for you, or myself. You continually attack Heritage in 
your posts and in your marketing approach. I've told you personally 
my opinion on this and it isn't something we have to agree on. I find 
no purpose in attacking my business rivals personally. But again, 
this is not something you need to agree with me and that doesn't mean 
I do not respect you regardless. I do indeed respect you for the 
things you do, what have done in the past and also based on our 44 
years of knowing each other. I just means I disagree with you, which 
last I looked is not a serious personal divide. If it was, you 
probably wouldn't be talking to your own children over some issues as 
I am positive that few children agree with their parents on a whole 
lot after they reach the teenage years, and that goes for wives, 
parents, girlfriends, best friends and employees.


I don't know anyone who I agree with 100% of the time - not even my 
best bud Sean or my best buds John Knight, Redbeard or even my pal 
Dan here in Vegas. So I don't think I have to agree with Geraldine 
either, who isn't even on my best buds list, whether I were to 
support Heritage or
