YOU GET "Warner
Bros Movie Posters at Auction" AS A BONUS
THIS WEEK!
![](/ebaypages/crazy_bruce.jpg) "Crazy
Bruce Hershenson" says, "We are currently auctioning
800 single lobby cards including 10 "found in a barn" lobby cards
including FRANKENSTEIN & FREAKS, so I thought I would offer each buyer this week our
Warner Bros Movie Posters at Auction movie poster book as a bonus!" This full-color book
contains the most unbelievable collection of Warner Bros movie
paper ever assembled! This originally sold for $20, and
thousands were sold at that price! This book contains 646 images spread over
80 pages and was the auction catalog for our December 2004
mega-auction! The full-color catalog is a "must-have", for it
is the ultimate reference guide to Warner Bros movie paper! We offer every one of our buyers this week a copy of this great book,
Warner Bros Movie Posters at Auction as a bonus, even if you just buy one
$1 item! If you don't already own this 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
Warner Bros Movie Posters at Auction AND this item for as little as
$1 plus
shipping for both (if you are the only bidder)!

Special Notes About This Tuesday's Items
HERE IS A CHART OF THE ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION:
(to better help you find the sizes that interest you)
8t001-8t010 "found in a barn" lobby cards including FRANKENSTEIN & FREAKS
8t011-8t028 special collection of Laurence Olivier title cards (in
year order)
8t029-8t137 title lobby cards
8t138-8t800 scene lobby cards
About the Condition
Note that we have many excellent condition, unrestored lobby cards this
week. Most of these come to us from several very long time collectors
who were "condition conscious", and who tried to buy unrestored lobby cards
whenever possible! 74% of the cards in
this auction are completely unrestored, and approximately 25% of the cards
in this auction are both "high grade" (either "fine" or "very good to fine",
and OUR high grade cards are graded very strictly!), and also completely
unrestored!
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") 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
(unless they are on the back or are the sort that can't be seen in a digital
image), so we strongly recommend that you look at our super-sized image to see whatever tiny defects any of these cards may have.
IMPORTANT! "Slabbing" of lobby cards
IS here! Slabbing is encasing items in a hard plastic sleeve with a seal that can't be broken, and then the items are professionally graded. ANY restoration of any kind, as well as a detailed condition description is noted on the back of the sleeve. Proponents of slabbing say that it takes all the guesswork out of grading items, and it brings lots of new collectors into a hobby, who are no longer afraid of buying an over-graded item, or one with hidden restoration. It is indisputable that slabbing attracts a lot of "investors" into a hobby, and almost always slabbing of items is followed by a sharp rise in the price of "high grade" UNRESTORED items.
Since the people who currently "slab" other collectibles are now doing
so with lobby cards, then it is very likely prices will rise on them as well.
The above is why we clearly identify which lobby cards are completely
unrestored (and in this context, "unrestored" means no restoration of any
kind, including tape, on either the front or the back of the card).
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! |

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
Learn More! To pay with PayPal, follow the step-by-step instructions on the following page
of our website:
http://www.emovieposter.com/statpages/paypal_payment_instructions.php.
U.S. customers
may now pay us using our
PayPal
Express Checkout! NOTE: This is in development, so we are currently
unable to allow non-U.S. customers to use the Checkout to pay (although they
can use it to request their shipping quote), but we will be adding
that ability very soon. Also note that it is still fine to pay us using any
other payment method (including using PayPal "the old way").
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)!
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.
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 Tuesday items need to be sent in flat packages so...
*they
can be
combined with these auctions (Note the U.S.
shipping rates shown below):
- Tuesday January 4th folded one-sheets ($10)
- Thursday January 6th German & Austrian programs
($10)
- Sunday January 9th 'regular' Sunday auctions ($10)
- Tuesday January 18th large French & Italian
posters ($10 or $12 depending on what you purchase)
- Thursday January 20th pressbooks, Mexican LCs, and
more ($12)
- Sunday January 23rd 'regular' Sunday auctions ($10)
- Thursday January 27th single stills ($6)
*they must be sent separately from
these auctions for an additional shipping charge:
- Sunday January 9th or 23rd 'bulk lot' Sunday auctions
- Tuesday January 11th rolled non-U.S. posters
- Thursday January 13th unfolded 27" x 41" one-sheets
- Sunday January 16th unfolded 27" x 40" one-sheets
|
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.
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.
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.
