[MOPO] Credit where due

[Tommy Barr]

As someone who seemed to make an implicit criticism of Jason at
movieposterexchange in the past, I would like to state that my recent
dealings with him have been excellent and I am more than happy to continue
to do business there.

Re: [MOPO] Pretty damn good.

[Tommy Barr]

Actually I just rhought that was quite amusing and not aimed at anyone in
particular. It seems like my Irish sense of humour doesn't translate well
and often leads to offence being taken.

Re: [MOPO] A question for everyone on MoPo (except the haters)

[Tommy Barr]

On a lighter note, many people have been predicting 'The end of the world
is nigh' for some time, yet here we still are, so probably 'ending soon'
can be before it's even started!.

Re: [MOPO] A question for everyone on MoPo (except the haters)

[Tommy Barr]

I do not know Zeev and have no idea as to what his problem with me is but,
as he does not know me,  it is an occasion when he is not, actually,
entitled to an opinion.
There appear to be a coterie of Bruce's fans who react on his behalf to
anything which appears to imply criticism of him or his Mopo posts, and
those who dare to do so, however lacking in malice, are deemed 'haters'.
Another Mopo member branded  me as such recently. To be clear, hating is an
emotion which I have no time for, it is generally a pointless exercise.
Questioning anyone's opinions or assertations on Mopo does not
automatically mean that you hate them.

I resent the suggestion here. If Bruce is going to bring personal feelings
on to Mopo then are we to censor who can or cannot participate?

What would be interesting is a definition of 'the haters'. Hate questions;
hate Mopo; hate posters; hate Bruce; hate anything and everything?

Re: [MOPO] STAR WARS PROOFS  CineMasterpieces VINTAGE MOVIE POSTERS

[Tommy Barr]

And seeing that posters described as 'proofs' were more valuable than
simply one sheets, that is hardly surprising.

 David,

 I have do not doubt that they are original and that employees took them
 home. My question remains, though: Are these actually test prints or just
 uncut onesheets? After all, that color control bar was on every single
 sheet they printed and the posters were cut to size afterwards.

 Unlike digital printing, where you can print  (and usually pay for)
 exact numbers, with analog offset the majority of the cost is in the
 prepress process. While it is perfectly possible to print five or ten test
 posters, once the actual production has started, it did not make much of a
 difference if they printed 10,000 or 11,000 copies. In fact, it is
 basically impossible to print a perfectly 'exact' number on those big
 machines. So there usually was an overrun, and it is perfectly plausible
 that employees would've been allowed to take some of them home. In case of
 STAR WARS it may have even been an intentional overrun, who knows.

 My point being: In my book, an uncut overrun poster is just that. For
 me, it does not qualify as a 'test print' or 'printer's proof'. It's simply
 a onesheet that has not been cut down to size.

Looking for some help please. I recently purchased a UV back-light and
noticed that a linenbacked poster has some purple patches under a white
background - anyone know what they might be?

To be fair, my problem is not about receipt of posters but something else

just those (seemingly only a few) that have particular issues.

I had hoped that it wouldn't be necessary to ask this again, but is anyone
having problems with movieposterexchange?

Re: [MOPO] What was the most grueling high rated movie you have watched?

[Tommy Barr]

I think this discussion, particularly Bruce's contribution, raises an
interesting question about the purpose of films. Are they simply to
entertain, or can some be more challenging art? I haven't seen *Jeanne
Dielman etc*., but from what I read it is supposed to be boring and
gruelling even, as it reflects the eponymous protagonist's life. Certainly
there may be a 'woke' element to the critics' choice of best film ever, but
that does not necessarily detract from its worth as an artistic endeavour.

Re: [MOPO] NOTICE OF CONCERN

[Tommy Barr]

Is MOPO to become a forum for dealer grievances or remain one of the few
places where movie poster collectors can discuss matters of interest?

I received an email from Jason at movieposterexchange saying that
shipments were now 'flying out the door'. Maybe some of you could confirm
that, please?

Re: [MOPO] Movieposterexchange

I also had a great relationship with Peter (I remember and I'm 75) but find
the whole business since he sold to be very frustrating. Why does Jason
continue with auctions if he can't ship the items? At the very least he
should respond and offer some idea as to what he intends to do to recify
the situation.   Tommy

Re: [MOPO] RIP George Theofiles

[Tommy Barr]

I came to the hobby late in life and I have to admit that I am very envious
of the close-knit nature of the movie poster collecting community in
U.S..It is obvious that people like Greg and Bruce gained so much knowledge
and love of the hobby from their association and friendship with an older
generation of collectors/dealers. I am not aware of anyone in UK having
mentors like that, but I'd be interested in finding out from any Mopoers
who know of such a relationship. Does anyone know of a long-time
collector in Ireland, North or South?

[MOPO] Bernard Cribbins

[Tommy Barr]

Maybe not so well known to US members but greatly loved here in UK, the
actor Bernard Cribbins has sadly departed his mortal coil. Probably best
known in film for his performance in The Railway Children and a couple of
the Carry On movies, he was often seen on TV in programs such as Dr Who and
Fawlty Towers, as well as being the voice of the Wombles. A wonderful
character actor with great comic timing.

[MOPO] USPS thorough investigation (NOT!)

[Tommy Barr]

On Feb 3rd emovie poster shipped a tube to me in UK. It was tracked on a
journey around US before arriving in London (apparently) on 13th. I assumed
that it would then reach me in a few days, but the next tracking details
told me it was now being processed through customs in Seoul, South Korea.
Shortly after that it went to Seoul International Post office and I was
informed that  'Origin Post is Preparing Shipment', whatever that means.
After the stipulated 45 days I had emovieposter initiate a missing mail
search (which they told me could take 30 days but that they would keep me
updated, which they didn't). Checking myself a few days ago I found that
this was the result of USPS's extensive and no doubt
exhaustive investigation - ' Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch
this mail piece.' In other words all that happened was that they looked up
my tracking details and after a few weeks reposted the original and
completely nonsensical information. Utterly ridiculous!

[MOPO] Interesting.

[Tommy Barr]

Hi all,

I was just communicating with HA regarding the criteria for inclusion of
movie  posters in their Signature Auctions. I'm told that they are
looking for pieces which should realistically fetch a minimum of $1000, but
'that value threshold may be raised in the future as we explore other
auction formats.' Wonder what they might be?

Re: [MOPO] No more posters for germany

[Tommy Barr]

It would seem that this is all part of an EU Directive on recyclable
packaging, but instead of an EU wide single set of requirements it appears
that each country is passing its own law regarding this. I'm no expert but
I think France, Spain and Italy also require
packaging documentation of some sort. Seems like a bit of a nightmare for
the small online retailer and looks like the whole of the EU might soon be
out of bounds.

[MOPO] HA and movie posters - the future?

[Tommy Barr]

Living in UK I didn't have the personal relationship with Grey that many
other MOPers have, but when I had any problems with HA (all too frequent)
he was the man to sort them, efficiently and fairly. I now wonder about his
leaving, even though he describes it as 'amicable', as there appears to be
no firm future plan.
It is my suspicion that we will now see changes to HA's weekly movie poster
auction. I would not be surprised to find that they move from a solely
movie offer to all poster genres, and some of the recent auctions have had
a fair quantity of music, advertising and war posters. Also, given the
recent hike of minimum buyers' premium to $29, HA abhor low value items so
I would expect there might now be a tendency to impose a minimum estimate
or reserve ($100+?).
As I said, those are surmises, but I am pretty certain that Grey's
departure heralds some changes.

Re: [MOPO] USPS is the WORST

[Tommy Barr]

I sent a tube by Parcelforce within UK a couple of months ago and they lost
it. I have had to jump through hoops to make a claim - screenshots, copies
of emails and answering multiple questions. Not settled yet but their last
question was really unbelievable. 'Can you tell us why you sent the parcel?'

Yes, I just noticed it when looking at some items on the site. It does seem

Oh Helmut, if we knew of such a source I think we might want to keep it
secret! No doubt that auction prices have gone up to such an extent that
buying for resale is becoming less attractive, so maybe the only option is
to increase retail prices.

Re: [MOPO] The Post Office has gone DRASTICALLY downhill the past few years especially NOW

[Tommy Barr]

I have sent posters to the U.S. from U.K. for several years without any
problems, but one I sent to Texas on 3rd June appears, according to
tracking, to have been in Chicago since 7th June. I assumed it had been
lost and refunded the buyer, but from what I read here it seems possible
that it might still turn up! Haven't experienced too many problems getting
items from the States.

Re: [MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] Thank you, Great Britain!

[Tommy Barr]

Sorry, Helmut, but while I may not agree with Filip's choice of language I
certainly agree with its sentiments. Confiscating lunch sandwiches from
lorry drivers entering Europe because they contain ham? Both sides need to
be more grown-up and sort out the mess that Brexit has caused, but Brussels
is definitely in a huff because Britain dared to leave their club, and
behaving accordingly. The European Union loves bureaucracy, and NI is an
example of how, in spite of common sense dictating that it is not all
necessary, they insist on its enforcement regardless of the consequences.

[MOPO] Posters as investment

[Tommy Barr]

Since the recent discussion on poster prices I have been wondering about
what the long-term trend of values might be. I am thinking especially of
those which fetch higher prices at the moment, and might be considered as
investment vehicles. Obviously the best reason to buy anything is because
it is something you appreciate for itself, and simply owning it gives you
pleasure. Nevertherless, having spent sometimes fairly considerable amounts
of cash you would naturally hope the item would at least hold its value.

 It is not uncommon to see posters for sale described as ‘investment
quality’, so the idea that they will increase in value must sometimes be
the *raison d’etre* for buying them. Certainly over the past few years it
would appear that certain titles have appreciated considerably in value,
and I have no doubt that in the near future that will probably continue to
be the case. But what about twenty or thirty years from now?

I recently met some young people who had never heard of the Beatles.  I
found that quite shocking, but it does seem that many of the present
generation are more concerned with the present than the past, and that
applies to all forms of entertainment, including films. So in 20 years time
will someone pay $1000+ for *A Hard Day’s Night* one sheet? While *Star
Wars *posters might still be highly sought, and other contemporary movies,
what are the chances that even a *Casablanca* original release will fetch
anything like current prices? Will Universal horror films of the 30s have
any avid collectors? Time will tell, but unfortunately I will hardly be
around to find out.

You think Germany is bad, you're lucky that you're not living in Northern
Ireland. Our neither in nor out status is a mess, meaning that getting

Re: [MOPO] Auction Prices - the unloved Style D

[Tommy Barr]

It's great to see the way discussions here can morph from poster prices to
Star Wars to collectors' wives. In reply to Toochis I think the fact that
she is also a collector means that she may not be typical. I know that I
have had to negotiate with my wife for specific spaces for hanging posters,
so have to rotate those on display and those stored occasionally.

My favourite Star Wars poster is the style D one sheet, which apparently
was the one George Lucas had displayed in his office, yet it doesn't seem
to be very popular among collectors. As regards the poster auction prices,
I wonder if Grey or Bruce can offer any insights?

I think all the reasons suggested are valid - be interesting to see what

[MOPO] Auction prices

[Tommy Barr]

After our musings on the prices fetched at the Ewbank's auction I notice
that HA has also seen some strange price hikes at the weekend. For example,
Battle of Britain o/s folded 7.5 @$300; The Lion King o/s rolled 8.5 @$324:
Titanic 2xo/s rolled 8.5 @$324.  Given that those can be bought online for
a lot less, as has been the case with quite a number sold at auction
recently, it leaves me perplexed as to what is going here. I don't think
there is any one simple reason but at the moment movie poster values are
proving weirdly unpredictable.

Re: [MOPO] Ewbanks Auction today

[Tommy Barr]

I watched the auction sporadically and agree that there were some strange
results. I think, however, that prices have been volatile on all the
auction sites recently, even HA and emovie showing some anomalous
results.Some posters which normally fetch mid double figures have been
going for three figures, and the bids on many mid-level items seem to have
grown exponentially. No idea why, but I can't accept the premise that there
are lots of new collectors suddenly coming in to the market. I would have
thought that anyone starting to collect now would initially be looking for
posters from the comic-inspired superhero movies, Bond or Star Wars, but
there weren't many of those in the Ewbank's auction.

Re: [MOPO] Paypal's refund policy

It is my understanding (though I could be wrong) that with its Managed

given, but not on a partial refund.

Re: [MOPO] I just said good-bye to my ebay store

[Tommy Barr]

I decided to do a little dealing in movie posters after I retired,
admittedly more as a hobby than a business and  just to keep me occupied. I
set up my own website and ran it for a couple of years, eschewing eBay, and
was lucky if I sold double figures in a year. I was eventually persuaded
(by my adult sons) to sign up for an eBay store, and sales quadrupled
almost immediately. I find there is a lot I don't like about eBay, but it
does seem to generate business. I can understand why 'seasoned dealers'
like Rich don't like it, but then again many traditional retailers have
found internet competition not to their liking. Also, I have sent posters
from U.K. across the world, including U.S.A., and found it relatively
trouble free and not too expensive, but then maybe that's just the Royal
Mail.

Re: [MOPO] Has anyone ever wonder this...?

Can I just add to that my 92 year old mother fell and broke her hip 2 weeks
ago but was immediately admitted to hospital and had an operation. Even
though the NHS is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic it is still
treating those in need.
Thank heavens for the NHS.

Yes, some really astounding prices. I was lucky enough to pick up a couple
of cheaper items (at below estimate) so pleased with that.

Re: [MOPO] It's Our SILVER Anniversary! 25 Years of MoPo!

[Tommy Barr]

As a fairly recent member myself I would like to echo the congratulations
of my fellow poster fans. However, I notice that MoPo is becoming more and
more a site for those advertising their online wares (with the admirable
exception of Tom M) and less a meaningful discussion forum. Is it that
those who have been here a long time know more or less everything there is
to know about movie posters?

[MOPO] We all get older

[Tommy Barr]

Having followed the recent (somewhat cliquish) posts on the problems of
aging, fires and earthquakes I should like to add my own observations.
First of all, don't live in California!
I know we Europeans are supposed to have a more fatalistic mindset but, at
the age of 72, I see no reason to stop enjoying my poster collection, or
adding to it.. While not as impressive as David's (the most expensive is a
High Noon insert) they give me enjoyment, and I really don't care what
happens to them after I depart this mortal coil - I won't be here, so
what's the point of worrying about that? And I still hang the occasional
poster on a high wall at the top of the stairs.

[MOPO] Auction prices

[Tommy Barr]

Hi all,

Some time ago I wrote that it seemed that there appeared to be a falling
off of prices at auction (specifically HA's signature) but recent events
seem to contradict that. Following online auctions  in last few weeks it
seems that prices realised have rarely been more volatile and values would
be hard to predict at the moment. Is there any sort of trend here or is it
just a market blip?

Re: [MOPO] OT: Beatles and Marilyn for sale - and a question (scroll down) about signed items.

[Tommy Barr]

I can see that an autograph on  a poster could be regarded by purists as a
fault, but I imagine most people who are not avid collectors but only
buying one or two items might be very well impressed by authentic
signatures. I suppose also the size and position of the signature would be
important.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage Signature auction [EXTERNAL]

[Tommy Barr]

Obviously I would expect you to defend the auction prices, Grey, and there
is no doubting that as a whole it was probably a very successful auction
for you, with some high prices over estimate. I am not raising the matter
of lower bids in an effort to denigrate the auction, but I was not 'picking
out specific items'. I had a watchlist of 150 items and 66 of those
failed to attract a bid at the lower estimate, which is 44%. Apart from
those I also noticed some others performed likewise in the times I was
watching the live auction.   I do not believe that HA  is inclined to
over-estimate, so there must presumably be some other reason for that.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage Signature auction

[Tommy Barr]

So what? Some items fetched high prices, but there were still a number
which were unexpectedly low, certainly in the lower ranges. Just wondering
if MOPOers have any ideas as to why that should be so.

[MOPO] Heritage Signature auction

[Tommy Barr]

Having a look at the prices fetched in the recent HA auction I notice that
quite a few don't make minimum estimate bids - overvalued, lack of interest
or decline in the market?

Re: [MOPO] English one sheets

I should just confirm, though, that there is a connection from the seller
to StudioCanal, as I contacted SC before bidding to buy any of the posters,
and they informed me that the eBayers  were acting on their behalf.

[MOPO] English one sheets

[Tommy Barr]

In today's auction on emovieposters there are 2 English one sheets for
Scars of Dracula, one listed as the first release and one as an undated
re-release. While there is no doubt that the full colour poster is the
first release, according to StudioCanal who now own the archive for most
English studios, the bi-colour version is also a first release, but for
international distribution. I informed emp of that but for some reason, and
with no other evidence, they are sticking to the re-release attribution.
There are a number of posters I have identified that exist n a first
release full colour domestic version and a bi-colour international one,
among them The Man Who Fell To Earth, Murder On The Orient Express, That'll
Be The Day, Horrors of the Black Museum and Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD.

I was aware that I could be accused of being sexist but deliberately
excluded women as I don't think they would be so stupid. If, however, any
MOPO member of the female gender takes offence at my not allowing that they
