Our 12th Annual Halloween Auction has an incredible selection of posters (1,946 items in all!), covering all years and sizes and is being run in three parts:

• Part I (Sunday October 23rd to 30th): 568 unfolded and formerly folded posters that fit in our standard size tubes
• Part II (Tuesday October 25th to November 1st): 735 U.S. folded one-sheets and non-U.S. folded posters & lobbies
• Part III (Thursday October 27th to November 3rd): 643 items that ship in oversized flat packages or tubes OR that are backed OR that are stills and lobby cards!

What distinguishes OUR Mini/Major Auctions from other major auctions? Only the lack of any reserves or buyers premiums, honest condition grading, and unenhanced super-sized images! You will find an amazing "supermarket" selection of great posters from all years, genres, and countries!

SUPER IMPORTANT! Part I of this special auction begins closing at 3 PM CST on the 30th, NOT 7 PM CST like our Tuesday and Thursday auctions!

SPECIAL BONUS OFFER TO EVERY BUYER IN THESE AUCTIONS!

INCREDIBLE! Every buyer from ANY of the parts of our "12th Annual Halloween Auction" receives a great full-color printed t-shirt as a free bonus (even if you only purchase one $1 item)!
     Every buyer in this special auction will receive the great full-color T-shirt pictured at right, which shows the image from the FRANKENSTEIN 1947 reissue one-sheet included in Part II of this auction (we will only be making as many t-shirts as there are different buyers in these auctions, so it will be a VERY limited edition, and likely will become a "collector's item" in its own right!). Given that you get this great full-color T-shirt with any purchase, shouldn't you absolutely find any one item to purchase from us from among the 1,946 items in these special auctions?
    *Note: we give this shirt (which costs us $9 to $11 each at wholesale, because they are very high quality) to anyone who purchases one or more items in these auctions. BUT KNOW THAT YOU ONLY GET ONE SHIRT, NO MATTER HOW MANY ITEMS YOU PURCHASE, AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU PURCHASE FROM ANY OF THE PARTS OF THIS SPECIAL AUCTION.
      Please also note that, because some of the posters in this auction are un-backed and rolled, we will NOT send the t-shirt together with your purchase if you purchase only rolled unbacked items. In that case only, we will hold it on your account, and we will add it to the next flat package you receive from us.  But if you purchase items that CAN have a t-shirt included with them (either linenbacked or items that ship flat), then we will include the shirt with your purchases.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S EVEN MORE!  The above offer is for anyone who purchases any ONE item from either part of this mini/major auction.  But if you are a member of our weekly e-mail club, we will be offering our most generous bonus offers ever to those who purchase just FIVE items from any of the three parts combined (you need just purchase a total of five items from any of the three parts).  We will have multiple great offers for those who purchase as few as five items, and as many as twelve or more, and you get these just for being a member of the club (so if you are not already a member, and over 6,595 collectors already are, then why not join today by going to https://www.emovieposter.com/club/settings.php).

Another incredible deal for every buyer!

Buy any ONE item from our Halloween auctions (even a $1 item!) & you can buy this great $59.95 book for $24.99!

Last year in our 11th Halloween Auction we offered a similar deal on Jim Gresham's "Children of the Night" book and everyone loved it! This year, we have a limited number of his latest book, "They're Here Already!", to offer to our customers. Every buyer in our 12th Annual Halloween Auction has the opportunity to purchase this wonderful full-color hardcover coffee table book which is the ultimate reference guide to 1950s science fiction movie posters, not for the cover price of $59.95, but for the INSANELY ridiculous price of just $24.99! Jim has sold a huge number of books at the cover price, but we were able to convince him to make this great offer solely to those who purchase any ONE or more items from these Halloween auctions. Learn more about the book on the official website, TheyreHereAlreadyBook.com.

To order the book, simply win one or more items in our Halloween auctions, then tell us (by e-mail or phone) that you'd like to include the book with your order. Note that this is a big 9" x 11" deluxe hardcover book that weighs a lot! You will need to pay the actual cost of shipping to get it to you (Media Mail in the U.S., or Airmail outside the U.S.). It is possible it can be combined with your Halloween purchases, but if you live in the U.S., it will probably be less expensive to have it sent separately by Media Mail.

About the condition
   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

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 of lots 5z001-5z104 will need to pay the actual cost of shipping plus $3 for packaging materials (which includes full insurance)!  See above to learn more.
U.S. buyers of lots 5z105-5z434 need to enclose $11 shipping (which includes full insurance)! See above to learn more.
U.S. buyers of lots 5z435-5z643 need to enclose $7 shipping (which includes full insurance)! See above to learn more. 
     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 different types of packages so... *Lots 5z001-5z027 are linenbacked and can NOT be combined with any of our other current auctions. *Lots 5z028-5z032 must be shipped in long tubes and we will combine them with ROLLED items if it is safe to do so. *Lots 5z033-5z104 must be shipped in large & very large flat packages and we will combine them with other FLAT items. *Lots 5z105-5z643 must be shipped in standard size flat packages and we will combine them with other FLAT items. *The following auctions can be combined with other ROLLED items: Tuesday October 11th rolled non-U.S. posters Thursday October 13th rolled 27" x 40" one-sheets Tuesday October 25th rolled non-U.S. posters Sunday October 30th Part I of our 12th Annual Halloween Auction *The following auctions can be combined with other FLAT items: Sunday October 16th 'regular' Sunday auctions Tuesday October 18th folded one-sheets Thursday October 20th complete and incomplete sets of lobby cards Sunday October 23rd 'regular' Sunday auctions Tuesday November 1st Part II of our 12th Annual Halloween Auction *The following auctions must be sent separately for an additional shipping charge: Sunday October 16th & 23rd '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 COST OF SHIPPING AS STATED ABOVE.

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 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 about becoming one of the hundreds of our non-U.S. buyers who are already part of this program.

Learn more about how to save money on shipping by shipping to friends/family in the U.S., insurance, and customs fees.

     IMPORTANT NOTICE: 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!

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.)!
