Special Notes About This
Thursday's Items
IMPORTANT: The first 12 inserts in this
auction are over 80 years old and will be shipped in flat packages
    Note that the 12 inserts at the beginning
of this auction (lots 4h001 to 4h012) are over 80 years old, and while they
were never folded, we would not want to attempt to roll them, so they will
be sent in large flat packages. This will cost more than our standard size
packages, so for those 12 inserts that we are auctioning this week, the
buyer will need to pay the actual cost of shipping (and of course, if those
poster are purchased with other inserts, they can be sent together in a
single flat package).
Should Unfolded Inserts Sell for a Major Premium
over Folded Ones?
    For years I have been arguing that the above should be true, and it seems that many collectors are beginning to agree with me! Imagine if baseball cards could be bought in two ways. You could either get them folded in half twice (resulting in three horizontal folds), or get them unfolded. Would not the unfolded ones sell for FAR more in the collector's market than the folded ones? I can't see the difference between this and
inserts. It is VERY difficult to find unfolded inserts, but they ARE out there, and I believe we will continue to see their price rise far above that of a folded version (note that most post-1970
inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to
inserts from this time period). NOTE THAT THE INSERTS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY OFFERING INCLUDE A HUGE NUMBER OF UNFOLDED ONES! Around
48% of the 353 inserts have never been folded, and 117 of those
48% are from before 1970, which are the titles you would not expect to find unfolded! This is a very rare opportunity to purchase unfolded
inserts! About the Originality and
Rarity of These Inserts
    Inserts from the 1960s on are far more rare than the corresponding one-sheets (with the exception of certain
inserts which have been reproduced; see below). In the last few years, many savvy collectors have begun to seek out
inserts, realizing their far greater rarity, and in some cases, are paying more for them than for the corresponding one-sheets! We expect this trend to continue in the coming years! NOTE: In recent years a huge number of inserts of certain top titles of the 1970s have been offered in the collector's market (there are also a couple of "suspect"
half-sheets). We believe (as do most major dealers) that these are surely counterfeits. They can be distinguished from genuine
inserts by their extra glossy front and back, and their "whiter-than-white" appearance. ALL OF THE
INSERTS WE ARE SELLING THIS WEEK ARE 100% GENUINE AND EITHER THEATER-USED
OR WERE PRINTED TO BE USED IN THEATERS, BUT WERE FOUND IN POSTER EXCHANGES PRIOR
TO GOING TO A THEATER!
   I could imagine that some people, seeing the many wonderful condition inserts we are selling this week, might wonder if possibly
THEY could be reproductions! They are not, and they include lots and lots
of titles that nobody would ever consider reproducing, which should make sense
to anyone, even if they doubted my guarantee that they are authentic! On the
other hand, the inserts and inserts that all major dealers know are counterfeit
are exclusively very collectible titles, exactly the sort a crook would choose
to reproduce. All of the inserts we are selling this week are absolutely
guaranteed to be authentic! About the Condition    Â
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", "good", and "fair", with only a few graded "poor") 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 poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
   If a poster 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 poster 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

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

Bruce Hershenson
Attn: Payments
P.O. Box 874

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
     Missouri customers: You
must pay an additional 7.162% sales tax on your purchases. If your
order is sent within the state of Missouri, we MUST collect this tax
(if it is shipped to another state, we do not collect the tax).
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 $3.00 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 rolled in tubes so...
*they can be
combined with these
auctions:
- Thursday June 24th Thirty by Forties,
British quads, and "special" rolled posters
- Tuesday July 6th half-sheets and
Japanese B2 posters
*they must be sent separately from
these auctions for an additional shipping charge:
- Sunday June 20th & 27th Sunday items
- Tuesday June 22nd window cards,
French, and Italian posters
- Tuesday June 29th folded one-sheets
- Thursday July 1st folded non-U.S.
posters and non-U.S. lobby cards
- Sunday July 11th German programs and
11x14 stills
|
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 set of 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.)!
