Bonus Offer to Every Buyer This Week

YOU GET "Vintage Hollywood Posters VIII" AS A BONUS THIS WEEK!

"Crazy Bruce Hershenson" says, "We are currently selling 561 German posters and Mexican and Spanish/U.S. lobby cards, and I thought I would offer each buyer this week our full-color Vintage Hollywood Posters VIII movie poster book as an added bonus!" This collection contains 424 great images spread over 80 pages and is the auction catalog for our December 2004 mega-auction! This auction was held on 12/18 on eBay. Your copy will include a sheet that gives all of the prices realized at the auction. This was Bruce Hershenson's 18th 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 VIII 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 VIII AND this item for as little as $1 plus shipping (if you are the only bidder)!

Special Notes About This Thursday's Items
About the German Posters
More and more collectors are discovering the cool posters that were made in West Germany! Some of these posters have the same or similar images to that of the American posters for the same movies, but some have completely different images, sometimes really cool ones that do not appear on any other posters! If you are one of the few who have not yet discovered these posters, we urge you to look at them in our image gallery, even if it has only to "window shop".
Note that East Germany made their own posters separately from West Germany (during the time they were not united), and those posters are quite different than those of West Germany, and we list them separately from the West German posters. East German posters are more likely to have really wild artwork (much like Polish posters).

About the Mexican Lobby Cards
     For many years, there have been a few sellers selling warehouses full of Mexican lobby cards on the Internet! If you have ever been exposed to any of these, you probably have a clear idea of what they look like (quite darkened, fragile, and a larger than U.S. lobby card size, which makes them difficult to store or display).
     BUT FEW COLLECTORS KNOW THAT THERE WERE ALSO MEXICAN LOBBY CARDS THAT ARE THE SAME SIZE AS U.S. LOBBY CARDS! We have been consigned a collection over 150 complete Mexican lobby card sets (and a couple of dozen incomplete sets), and many of those complete sets come with the original brown envelope they were sent from the distributor in. Because those sets were carefully stored, most of them are in really remarkable condition, with only the very slightest of defects, and few of them have darkened at all, and none of them are fragile.
     Best of all, most of the sets have at least a few completely different scenes from the U.S. sets (unlike Spanish/U.S. Lobby cards which seem to always have the exact same scenes as the English language U.S. sets). If you are a lobby card collector, you should look over all of these Mexican lobby cards very carefully, for you may well see scene cards on a title that do not exist in a U.S. lobby card version! Remember that these cards are the same size as U.S. lobby cards (11" x 14").
     We have sold a very few of these 11" x 14" Mexican lobby cards before, but this is really a remarkable group!

About the Condition
We give a detailed overall condition grade ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good", and only a few which are "good" or lesser) along with more details about the condition described in words (where we thought additional details were needed, because the defects were hard to see). We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, so 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 still for minor defects that we did NOT describe.

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 65775

If 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 Thursday items must be sent in flat packages and CAN be combined with the stills we sold July 10th and with the folded one-sheets that close July 15th as well as with the folded three-sheets, six-sheets, and Argentineans we will be auctioning from 7/15 to 7/22)
     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.

Here is a chart containing estimated shipping charges for up to three items from this week's auctions (Note: Insured quotes are based on a $200 value; you pay $1.60 more for each additional $100 of insurance)
Type of Shipping	Canada/Mexico	Australian/Asia/Japan	Everywhere Else (inc Europe)
Airmail - Uninsured	$22	$27	$25
Airmail - Insured	N/A	$32	$29
Global Express - Insured	$33	$40	$36
Global Express - Uninsured	$30	$37	$33
First Class	$12	$16	$15

IMPORTANT! NOTE THAT WE GIVING A BONUS BOOK (Vintage Hollywood Posters VIII) 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!).

Do you have a friend or relative who lives in the United States? Some of our customers either visit the U.S. regularly, or have friends or relatives within the U.S., and often those customers have us send their orders to a U.S. address, and then they transport the posters from there. THIS CAN SAVE YOU A GREAT DEAL ON SHIPPING! This is fine with us, but realize that you still need to let us know within one week of receipt if you want to return anything, so don't use this method unless you are certain you will want to keep your purchases.

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.)!

You Can Add More to Your Order
In addition to our current auctions, we offer many other non-auction items. Please note that the items in this week's auction will mostly be sent rolled in tubes, so you can add any item that can easily be rolled for no additional shipping costs. We have noted in each paragraph below whether the items can be shipped rolled or not.

We now have the 2008 Movie Poster Sales Results! (can be shipped rolled or flat)
This edition includes 25,000 verified sales results from our 2007 sales and contains NO duplication to our previous editions! WE ARE OFFERING THE 2008 EDITION FOR THE COVER PRICE OF $10, OR YOU CAN ORDER IT, PLUS THE PREVIOUS FOUR EDITIONS FOR A TOTAL OF $15, A GREAT SAVINGS OF $35 OFF OF THE COMBINED COVER PRICES! Go to our "Other Publications" books page at http://www.emovieposter.com/books/books.php?section=nonBruce to learn more and to order!

Illustration Magazines (can be shipped flat only)
Know that we also sell several other movie poster-related publications, so now is a good time to pick up items you may have missed! We have copies of a great full-color magazine entirely devoted to the great legendary poster artist, Bob Peak! This magazine (called Illustration Magazine #6) has tons of full-color images, all shot directly from Peak's originals, and has a great in-depth overview of Peak's entire career, written by his son! It sells for $9 and it is almost completely sold out, but if you want a copy, just enclose $9 with your order! We also have copies of Illustration Magazine #7, which has a long article on master horror/sci-fi illustrator Reynold Brown, with many full-color images shot directly from his originals, and that issue is also just $9.

Movie Collectors World (can be shipped rolled or flat)
WE ALSO OFFER THE LATEST ISSUE OF MOVIE COLLECTORS WORLD TO ALL OUR BUYERS (the latest is the August issue, which we just received). This magazine has been published for over 30 years and is the "Bible" of the movie poster collecting hobby! The cover price is $3.00. If you want a copy of the August issue added to your order for $3.00 (with NO additional shipping), just let us know when you pay for your order and we will include it!

Fixed Price Posters (most can be shipped rolled but not all can be sent flat; if an item has a "UF" or "TF" in the description, it can only be shipped rolled, but if it has a "FF" in the description, it can likely be sent rolled or flat; please check with us if you are unsure)
WE CURRENTLY HAVE 150 MOVIE POSTERS ON OUR WEBSITE AS "FIXED PRICE" ITEMS! Click HERE to view these Fixed Price posters on our website (many of them are one-sheets). If we can combine any of the Fixed Price items with your current purchases into a single package, then we won't charge you any added shipping!
