Incredible Bonus Offer!
Â
YOU GET "Vintage
Hollywood Posters V" AS A BONUS
THIS WEEK!
Â
![](/ebaypages/crazy_bruce.jpg) "Crazy
Bruce Hershenson" says, "We are currently auctioning 999
complete and incomplete sets of lobby cards, and I thought I would offer each buyer this week our full-color
Vintage Hollywood Posters V movie poster book as an added bonus!"Â
The 80 page full-color catalog has a cover price of $20 and thousands
were sold at that price! It contains 386 great images spread over 80 pages and was
the auction catalog for our December 2002 mega-auction! This auction was
held on 12/14/02 on eBay. This was Bruce Hershenson's 15th
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 V 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 V 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 Condition of the Lobby Cards    Â
Note that we give an 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),
sometimes 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 (especially because it is difficult to give a single condition
grade to a lot of more than one card, since they can vary widely in condition, so
that is even more reason to look at our images to get a sense of the
individual condition of each of the cards in each lot).
    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
![](/ebaypages/logo_ccAmex.gif)
![](/ebaypages/PayPal_mark_37x23.gif)
We accept all major credit cards, either directly over the phone
at 417-256-9616 during our regular 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 $10 shipping (which includes full insurance)!Â
     Why have we raised our base U.S.
shipping rate (by just $1)? Because we held the $9 rate for two years,
through many raises in Postal and UPS rates, and we absorbed many losses,
but we are currently losing so much on shipping that we must finally raise
our base rate to $10 on our standard sized packages which is just $1 more
than we used to charge and far less than what many other auctions charge.
Will your order be
shipped to you by UPS?
    UPS does NOT automatically require a signature
to deliver packages, so if you want the signature to be required, you will
need to pay the extra $2.50 UPS charges for "signature required" Delivery
Confirmation, and please realize that they will then NOT leave the
package, and you may well have to go to the UPS facility yourself to pick it
up. But if you prefer this, that is fine, and if you have any other
special requirements, please tell us when you are paying for your order.Â
IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THAT YOU WANT SIGNATURE REQUIRED, THEN YOUR PACKAGE
WILL BE SENT WITHOUT SIGNATURE REQUIRED!
You CAN usually combine shipment!
NOTE: These Thursday
items need to be sent in flat packages so...
*they can be
combined with these
auctions:
- Sunday January 31st movie magazines,
presskits, glass slides, and German programs
- Tuesday February 2nd three-sheets,
six-sheets, British quads, and Argentinean posters
- Thursday February 4th oversized flat
and rolled items (NOTE: You can possibly combine with most of the "flat"
items from this auction, but you can't combine with the "rolled" items
because we never unfold and roll the items in this current auction so
know that if you also purchase rolled items, we will have to charge you
for two separate packages)
- Sunday February 7th movie magazines,
presskits, glass slides, and German programs
- Tuesday February 9th single lobby
cards
- Sunday February 14th movie magazines,
presskits, glass slides, and German programs
*they must be sent separately from
these auctions for an additional shipping charge:
- Sunday January 31st, 7th, & 14th bulk lots
- Thursday February 4th rolled items
(see the note above)
|
Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single
set of Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Sunday auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items, but we also allow you to wait until
the next five sets of auctions end (a total of six sets of auctions) so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions
(if possible), and that means there
is a chance you could combine items from up to six 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 U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).
DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS
UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $10 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.Â
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.
Have you heard about our Pay and Hold
Program?
This lets non-U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 4 consecutive weeks
(a total of 12 auctions and around 8,000+ items!), and we then send all your
purchases at once saving you LOTS of money! Click
HERE to learn more (if you are not one of the hundreds of our
non-U.S. buyers who are already part of this program)
Here is a chart
containing estimated shipping charges for up to 3 items from this week's
auctions
(note these are ESTIMATES only, and your actual shipping may
vary considerably)
(Note: Insured quotes are based on a $200 value; you pay $1.60 more
for each additional $100 of insurance) |

    IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear these
approximate shipping cost in mind BEFORE you place a bid (if
you live outside the U.S.). The vast majority of our customers want a very
securely packed tube, 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. Â Â Â
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!
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 be sent in flat packages, so
you can add any item that can also be sent in flat
packages for no additional shipping costs. We have noted below whether the items can be shipped rolled or not.
