 IMPORTANT
NOTICE!
Once every year, we take a rare
vacation, and we completely close down for one week (this year it falls on
August 4th to 8th). Because it would not make sense for auctions to end
during our vacation, the inserts we are auctioning right now were listed on
Tuesday, July 29th and will end TWO weeks later on August 12th (meaning that
NO auctions will end on August 5th or 7th). We will return from vacation on
August 11th, and we will answer any questions or corrections you may have
sent us during our vacation.
 If
you purchased item(s) prior to our vacation but haven't paid by Friday,
August 1st, KNOW THAT YOUR ORDER
CAN NOT BE SHIPPED UNTIL AUGUST 11th, so you really need to pay for previous
purchases before the 1st! We would really like to have all orders shipped
prior to our vacation.
Please be understanding of our desire to
have a vacation once every year! |

Special Notes About This Tuesday's Items
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 657 inserts have never been folded, and roughly
half 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 hundreds of
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
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.

Payment Options

payment details, and there are still a few people who fax us!

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!

Bruce Hershenson
Attn: Payments

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 $9 shipping (which includes full insurance)!
Why do we charge $9, when we used to charge $9 to $11 on eBay?
We spend $9
(or more) on almost all U.S. orders, because we use such good, heavy
packaging (at least twice as strong as that used by most sellers), even on
low priced orders (because we believe a low priced item still deserves the
best handling)!
We USED to charge $11 for shipping on U.S.
orders over $100 when we sold on eBay, but now that we are auctioning on our
own site we have lowered that to $9, which is both our way of thanking those
who order a lot from us, and also our way of passing on our savings from not
paying eBay commissions to our customers!
You CAN usually combine shipment!
(NOTE: This week's Tuesday items must be sent
rolled in tubes and CAN be combined with the
rolled non-U.S. posters that ended 7/29, CAN be combined with the rolled
one-sheets ending 7/31, but can NOT be combined with the Marilyn Monroe
collection we are selling 7/31 to 8/14)
Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single week, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items, but we also allow you to wait until
next week's auctions end so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions
(if possible), and since we do two sets of auctions every week, that means there
is a chance you could combine items from up to four 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 $9 U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE). DON'T BID ON
OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE $9 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear this shipping cost in mind BEFORE your 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!
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.)!

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 mostly be sent rolled in tubes, so you can add any item that can easily be
rolled for no additional shipping costs. We have noted in each paragraph below
whether the items can be shipped rolled or not.
