About this special Cinerama collection
     The 122 items we are offering all come from a single collector. He focused primarily on Cinerama movies (which were created between 1953 and 1966 with the three-screen process, but which continued with different technology for several more years, most notably with 2001: A Space Odyssey). Included in the collection are many very rarely seen items (because the movies could only be shown in theaters that had the very expensive Cinerama equipment, they played in far fewer theaters, and movie paper from Cinerama releases is far more rare than paper from non-Cinerama releases of the same movies). The collection does include both paper from Cinerama releases and from non-Cinerama releases (of course, it is easy to distinguish between the two), and it also contains some items from some of the other Cinerama imitation processes of that time, including Todd-AO and VistaVision. This a rare opportunity to acquire these items. The collector spent many years bringing them together, but they will all be auctioned on a single day!

HERE IS A CHART OF THE ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION:
(to better help you find the types of items that interest you; we listed the items grouped by the sizes, so there may be several items from a single movie that are listed far apart, so be sure to check all 122 items!)

ALSO NOTE: Due to the different types of packages the items in this auction ship in, some items will ship in flat packages for $11 or $15 to the U.S. and a few will ship rolled in tubes for $11. We have noted in the below chart and on each individual item's auction page how they will be shipped. We will be sure to combine items into a single package whenever possible, but realize if you purchase both $11 and $15 U.S. shipping items, you will be charged the higher $15 U.S. rate (and if you also purchase a rolled item, you will be charged $11 for the separate U.S. tube shipment).

Where are the many bulk lots and our usual "Sunday items" regularly offered on Sunday?
      We are taking a break from our regular Sunday offerings of scripts, exhibitor magazines, movie magazines, German & Austrian programs, soundtrack CDs, pressbooks, sheet music, and bulk lots while we offer a special Cinerama collection this week, but know that we have a HUGE number of items waiting to be auctioned in our "regular" Sunday auctions, so please know that they will return in one week on Sunday August 14th, and almost every week thereafter. 

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 or $15 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 Sunday items need to be sent in either flat packages, "oversized" flat packages, or rolled in tubes so... *lots 4c001-4c013 & 4c019-4c122 ship in flat packages can be combined with these auctions (Note: 4c001-04c013 & 4c121 & 4c122 ship for $15 in "oversized" flat packages): Tuesday July 19th mostly large French and Italian posters (Note the $15 U.S. shipping for these) Thursday July 21st complete and incomplete lobby card sets Sunday July 24th 'regular' Sunday auctions Tuesday July 26th folded one-sheets Thursday July 28th miscellaneous items that ship in flat packages Sunday July 31st 'regular' Sunday auctions Sunday August 7th signed items of all sizes Tuesday August 9th "oversized" posters (Note the $13 U.S. shipping for these) Thursday August 11th non-U.S. folded posters and lobby cards *lots 4c014-4c018 ship rolled in tubes can be combined with these auctions: Tuesday August 2nd rolled non-U.S. posters from 24 countries Thursday August 4th rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets *they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge: Sunday July 24th & 31st '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 or $15 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.)!
