About the 95 "oversized" stills (most 11" x 14" and deluxe)
     You surely know that we have auctioned many thousands of 8" x 10" stills over the past few years.  But in this set of auctions, we offer 95 OVERSIZED stills (many are 11" x 14", but all measure larger than 8" x 10").  THIS IS A REALLY SENSATIONAL SELECTION OF OVERSIZED STILLS! Many are on double weight paper, many are by name photographers like Hurrell, some have embossed photographer stamps, and many have really wonderful images of top stars from many decades, including lots from the 1930s!  If you like oversized deluxe stills, you are going to LOVE this group of auctions (and we wish we could say that we would regularly auction stills like these, but they are truly extremely rare, and we don't know when we will next be able to assemble a similar auction).

About the rest of this week's items
     Note that this is a "catch-all" week, where we auction certain types of items that DO fit in our standard sized mailers, but are NOT posters (this time it is heralds, programs, sheet music, and some "special" items). We will occasionally auction items like these in future catch all weeks, but they will NOT be the same exact types of items as the ones we are selling this week (unless we get consigned more of these types, of course!).  So if you like any of the sizes and types of items we are auctioning this week, know that we have not sold these types of items for quite some time, and we likely will not sell them again for a long time!
     One final important note: While most of the items we are auctioning this week are roughly 11" x 14" (either as they are, or when they are fully folded), A FAIR NUMBER of the items (mostly some of the heralds [but not all], and a small number of the remaining items) are quite a bit smaller. We are charging our standard $11 U.S. shipping this week, but if you solely purchase those smaller items, then we will package the item(s) much smaller, and we will only charge you the lower shipping rate (if you have already paid the $11 U.S. shipping, we will automatically refund you the difference between the actual lower cost and what you paid). This is especially important if you live outside the U.S., because a smaller package will cost far less.  But of course, if you purchase smaller items along with larger items then we will need to package them together in one of our standard-size packages, and you will pay the $11 U.S. shipping (actual cost elsewhere).

About the condition of the items
     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 a general description of the defects, and we only describe specific defects if they are the type 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.  Of course, with the items that have many pages, we could not photograph every single page, but we often photograph both covers and an interior two-page spread, which should surely give you an excellent idea of the overall condition of that item.

Payment Options

We accept all major credit cards via phone at +1 (417) 256-9616 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9 AM CST to 5 PM CST except from 12 to 1 when we take lunch), via e-mail, or via fax at +1 (417) 257-6948.

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, but please don't send cash (as we can't be responsible for lost cash).

If your order requires a shipping quote, please request it through our Checkout system. Please note that we are still developing this checkout system, so while you may request your quote using it, we do not quite have it ready to complete payment (although we hope to have that added soon), but payment may still be completed using whatever method you have used in the past. If you run into any sort of problem requesting your quotes, please e-mail Phillip right away so we can get it addressed.

U.S. buyers need to enclose $11 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 Thursday items need to be sent in flat packages so... *they can be combined with these auctions: Tuesday July 12th single lobby cards Thursday July 14th 8" x 10" still lots of 2 or more Sunday July 17th single stills Tuesday July 19th mostly large French and Italian posters (note the higher $15 shipping of these auctions) Thursday July 21st complete and incomplete lobby card sets Sunday July 24th 'regular' Sunday auctions Tuesday July 26th folded one-sheets *they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge: Sunday July 24th 'bulk lot' Sunday auctions

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 $11 U.S. SHIPPING!

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 $3, for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen and a separate printed invoice mailed to you.  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)

     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 $3 outside the U.S.)!
