YOU GET "Vintage
Hollywood Posters VII" AS A BONUS
THIS WEEK!
  "Crazy Bruce Hershenson" says, "We are currently selling
742 complete lobby card sets, and I thought I would offer each buyer this week our full-color
Vintage Hollywood Posters VII movie poster book as an added
bonus!" This collection contains 592 great images spread over 80
pages and is the auction catalog from our July 2004 mega-auction! This
auction was held on 7/11/04. Your copy will include a sheet that
gives all of the prices realized at the auction. This was Bruce
Hershenson's 17th major movie poster auction, but this auction contains
a large number of images never seen in any previous book or catalog!
We offer every one of our buyers this week a copy of this great
full-color book, Vintage Hollywood Posters VII as a bonus, even if you just buy one
$1 item! If you don't already own this great book (or maybe even if you do!), then you should find any one of our
hundreds of items to buy, just to get the bonus book! You may
get Vintage Hollywood Posters VII AND a great item for as little as $1 plus shipping (if you are the only bidder)!

Special Notes About This Tuesday's Items About the Cards In This Auction
ATTENTION ALL LOBBY CARD COLLECTORS! Here is a chance to enter a "time machine", and travel back 40 years or so to when you could go into a poster exchange, and give them a list of titles from the 1940s
to 1960s, and they would sell you complete lobby card sets, mostly in wonderful condition! Most of the lobby card sets we are selling this week come to us
either from a former theater owner, who either did not use the cards at all, or who only used them once, and then stored them away,
or from a very longtime collector who purchased them from a poster exchange!
This really is a remarkable assortment of cards, covering all years, genres, and stars. Many of the cards (especially those of the last 40 years) are in wonderful condition (and some of the older ones are in excellent condition as well). With
6,087 cards in all 742 lots, this is a great opportunity for ANY lobby card collector (or dealer) to add to what they currently own! Note that that we gave a grade of "very good to fine" or "fine" to an amazing
63% of the total lots. This does not mean that we have lessened our grading standards, but rather it is a tribute how high quality this group of lobby cards is!
IMPORTANT NOTICE! This week, we are solely
selling complete sets of 8 or more lobby cards (742 sets in all).
We are auctioning virtually every complete lobby card set we have been
consigned this week, so if you like complete lobby sets, be sure to look
over all the sets we are selling this week as it will likely be many months
before we again offer complete sets!
About the Condition
Note that we give a detailed overall condition grade to every item we sell ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good",
and "good", with only a few graded "fair" or lesser) along with more details about the condition described in words (but pretty much only if they are defects that CAN'T be seen in our super-sized images, or if the item is especially valuable). We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily. Of course, we still strongly recommend that you look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the
item for minor defects that we did NOT
describe.
Please remember that our grading system is FAR more harsh than any other dealer we know of! We feel certain that our "very good to fine" condition grade compares favorably to most dealers' "near mint" grade and our "fine" condition grade compares favorably to most dealers' "mint" grade!
We did not describe most of the tiny defects these cards have in words, so we strongly recommend that you look at our super-sized image to see whatever tiny defects any of these cards may have.
If an
item is in less than very good condition, should you not bid on it? Of course not, as long as you are accepting of the defects the
item has! The item that is graded "very good", but has as many minor defects as is allowed under the "very good" definition is only in SLIGHTLY better condition than the best of the "good to very good" items. So please take the time to look at the larger images of items that interest you, and see if the defects are the sort that you can "live with", or are willing to restore. Some of these items are EXTREMELY rare, and it may be years before you see them offered again!

Payment Options
 
We accept all major credit cards, either directly over the phone
during regular our business hours which are Monday to Friday, 9 AM CST to 5
PM CST except between 12 and 1 when we take lunch, or you can e-mail us
payment details, and there are still a few people who fax us!
If you like to pay via Paypal (our PayPal e-mail is "mail@emovieposter.com"),
that is fine, but know that PayPal has many glitches, and you should
ABSOLUTELY e-mail us separately when you send us a PayPal payment!
You can send a check
or money order
(if you do, enclose your address and details about what you purchased) to:
Bruce Hershenson
Attn: Payments
P.O. Box 874
West Plains, MO 65775If it is your
best payment option, you can pay by Western Union
(unlike SOME auction
sites, we are not prejudiced against Western Union!). But please don't send cash (as we can't be
responsible for lost cash)!

U.S. Shipping
Details
U.S. buyers need to enclose $9 shipping (which includes full insurance)!
Why do we charge $9, when we used to charge $9 to $11 on eBay?
We spend $9
(or more) on almost all U.S. orders, because we use such good, heavy
packaging (at least twice as strong as that used by most sellers), even on
low priced orders (because we believe a low priced item still deserves the
best handling)!
We USED to charge $11 for shipping on U.S.
orders over $100 when we sold on eBay, but now that we are auctioning on our
own site we have lowered that to $9, which is both our way of thanking those
who order a lot from us, and also our way of passing on our savings from not
paying eBay commissions to our customers!
You CAN usually combine shipment!
(NOTE: This week's Tuesday items must be sent
in flat packages and can NOT be combined with the non-U.S. posters we sold
July 1st nor with the 'unfolded special' posters we sold ending on Thursday, July 3rd
[because those items must be sent in tubes], but CAN be combined with the
8x10 stills that
will run from Thursday July 3rd to July 10th)
Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single week, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items, but we also allow you to wait until
next week's auctions end so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions
(if possible), and since we do two sets of auctions every week, that means there
is a chance you could combine items from up to four of our sets of auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items fit into the same type of package). We KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do, but we know that our packaging is the best there is, and our orders virtually never arrive damaged (and on the very rare times that they do, all our U.S. packages are fully insured, and FULL INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE $9 U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE). DON'T BID ON
OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $9 U.S. SHIPPING!
|
Non-U.S.
Shipping Details
Non-U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order (you can choose whatever method you prefer, but know that the U.S. Post Office has eliminated Surface Mail, so we can only send via
Express or Airmail), plus $2 for the best packaging materials you have ever seen. All non-U.S. buyers must tell us if they want the package sent insured or uninsured at the time they pay for their order.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the major raise in U.S. postage rates to other countries, just about any package to most non-U.S. countries that weighs one pound or more will cost approximately $26 for Uninsured Airmail shipping (and this includes virtually all of our packages as we use 2 pieces of extra heavy duty cardboard for packaging, and then put that into a sturdy Calumet container or box). So please bear this shipping cost in mind BEFORE your place a bid (if you live outside the U.S.).
The vast majority of our customers want a very securely wrapped package, and
will pay the extra shipping cost involved (and of course, it goes to the
Post Office or UPS, and not us!). Please do not ask us to pack less
securely, as that would likely result in a damaged order.
Some sellers are sending by Ground UPS to Canada, but that incurs large "brokerage fees", so we do not recommend it. Note that there are also some sellers sending non-U.S. packages via a "Letter" rate, but of course this is not legal, and we can not do this. We have outlined the possibilities for sending non-U.S. packages above, so please read that carefully, BEFORE placing a bid!
DON'T BID ON
OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (the actual cost of shipping plus $2 outside the U.S.)!
IMPORTANT! NOTE
THAT WE GIVING A BONUS BOOK (Vintage Hollywood Posters VII) TO
ALL OF OUR BUYERS THIS WEEK, as a way to encourage
bidders to participate in our auctions and to thank our customers for their
support! However please note
that for non-U.S. buyers, we can only include the bonus book with non-U.S. orders if the
buyer is willing to pay the roughly $10 or more added shipping charge (because
the book will add around 1 pound to the weight of the package!).
