Our Summer 2010 Mini/Major Auction has an incredible selection of posters (around 900 items in all!), covering all years and many different countries including exceptional linenbacked, paperbacked, and unbacked items and is being run in three parts:

• Part I (Tuesday July 27th to August 3rd): 313 backed and unbacked inserts, window cards, half-sheets, lobby cards, campaign books, pressbooks & more
• Part II (Thursday July 29th to August 5th): over 300 linenbacked posters (one-sheet size and smaller)
• Part III (Sunday August 1st to August 8th): hundreds of unbacked "rolled" posters & oversized linenbacked posters

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!

SPECIAL BONUS OFFER TO EVERY BUYER IN THESE AUCTIONS!

INCREDIBLE! Every buyer from ANY of the parts of our "Summer 2010 Mini/Major Auction" receives a great full-color printed t-shirt as a free bonus (even if you only purchase one item)!
     Every buyer in this special auction will receive the great full-color T-shirt pictured at right, which shows the image from the Gilda style B one-sheet poster included in 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 900+ 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 ONE OR ALL 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, 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 either or both of the two parts combined (you need just purchase a total of five items from both 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 6,368 collectors already are, then why not join today by going to http://www.emovieposter.com/mail/clubsignup.php).

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUYING A PAPERBACKED OR LINENBACKED POSTER FROM EMOVIEPOSTER.COM AND FROM BUYING ONE FROM ANYWHERE ELSE?
    The great plus about buying a paperbacked or linenbacked poster from eMoviePoster.com is that you have an assurance of "genuine-ness" and you know the amount of restoration the poster has had, and you know the quality of the restoration, WHICH IS TRUE OF VERY FEW AUCTIONS OTHER EMOVIEPOSTER.COM! 
     Not only did we extremely carefully check every single backed poster we are auctioning to make certain that it is a genuine poster that has had only the restoration we describe (and in many cases we saw the poster prior to backing), but we also give an ironclad 100% money back guarantee if any of the backed posters we auction ever prove to not be genuine.  Other auctioneers may SAY they have a similar guarantee, but do you really want to  hope that they will honor it (plus, there is every possibility that by the time you discover a problem with one of their posters, they may well have "moved on" to auctioning other kinds of items, and with eMoviePoster.com, you KNOW that we have done nothing but auction movie posters for over 20 years, and we are definitely not going anywhere)!
     And when the day comes that you want to re-sell a backed poster in your collection, it will make a big difference if you can say that you purchased it from eMoviePoster.com, because then others will also know that it is surely genuine and accurately described (assuming you reuse our condition description and/or our image [we will provide the purchaser of any item our unwatermarked image of the item they purchased, if they request it])!

Payment Options
We accept all major credit cards, either directly over the phone at 417-256-9616 during our regular business hours which are Monday to Friday, 9 AM CST to 5 PM CST except between 12 and 1 when we take lunch, or you can e-mail us payment details, and there are still a few people who fax us!

If you like to pay via PayPal (our PayPal e-mail is "mail@emovieposter.com"), 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!

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)!

IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ONLY (Part I of our Summer 2010 Mini/Major Auction), all buyers (U.S. AND non-U.S.) must pay the actual cost of sending your order, plus $2 for the packaging materials.

     IMPORTANT! In the past, many of our "mini/major" auctions solely consisted of linenbacked posters, so we could pack all of the orders in just a few extra days, even though many were expensive.  BUT IN THIS SUMMER 2010 MINI/MAJOR AUCTION, WE INCLUDE ALL DIFFERENT SIZES OF ITEMS (from lobby cards to linenbacked six-sheets), AND SOME OF THE ITEMS ARE UNBACKED AND FOLDED, SOME ARE UNBACKED AND ROLLED, SOME NEED TO GO IN LARGE FLAT PACKAGES, AND MANY ARE PAPERBACKED OR LINENBACKED!
      This means that there is NO WAY we can possibly pack all of the orders in just a few days, especially since there are over 900 items in all.  So we will be packing and shipping the items from this auction in the following manner:
     1) After the Part I items close on the 3rd, we will divide all of the items according to who bought what, but we will NOT pack them (we will repeat the procedure for the items that close on the 5th and the 8th).
     2) We will begin packing all of the orders (combining everyone's purchases from all three parts) on Monday, August 9th.  At that point, everyone should have sent us their mailing addresses, and we will begin e-mailing shipping quotes to all buyers on the 9th, but we will not be finished sending shipping quotes until the end of that week, at the earliest, due to the many hundreds of expensive packages we must create (and we will use our usual high quality standards to make sure that nothing arrives damaged!).
     3) This means that most orders will not ship until the week of August 16th, but we will of course make every effort to send all the orders out as soon as we can.  You can do your part to help us by sending us your mailing address as soon as possible after you are done purchasing, and by quickly paying once we send you your shipping quotes.
     4) What if you want your order sent more quickly?  We have our special "rush fee", which allows you to pay us $15 extra, and then we move your order to the "top of the stack".  If you have an urgent need to get your purchases quickly, then take advantage of this, or else wait until we process your order.
     5) THERE IS ONE EXCEPTION TO THE ABOVE!  If you purchase items from Part I only, and you know for certain that you will not purchase any additional items in Part II or Part III, then you should contact us with your mailing address on Wednesday, August 4th, and clearly state that you will not be purchasing any additional items, and then we will pack your order and get you your shipping quotes on Thursday or Friday.  But know that once your order is packed, it CAN'T be re-opened to add additional purchases, so solely contact us on the 4th if you are absolutely certain you are not purchasing from Part II or Part III.
     6) It is very complicated and nerve-wracking to pack hundreds of thousands of dollars of expensive posters and lobby cards in such a short time, and the above method will allow us to do so in the most efficient manner.  Please be understanding of our need to take this extra time to pack such complicated items.  If you have an urgent need to get your items, you can use our special "$15 rush fee" (details of this will be sent to you in your end of auction notification).

     Can we send your order in a less expensive way? We have purchased movie paper items many hundreds of times over the Internet ourselves, and we have seen the tubes that other sellers use (both the free kind and the kind purchased at shipping supply stores), and the protection offered by those tubes is spotty at best (those cheaper tubes will often get bent resulting in creasing or tearing to the poster, or in extreme cases, a tube can even lose a cap from an end resulting in the buyer receiving a tube but no posters!), so please do not ask us to use a lighter weight tube or less expensive packing materials to save on shipping, because we won't do it!  We know that once you see our tubes you will agree that they are a great investment in protecting your purchase(s) and you will wonder why other sellers of vintage movie paper do not use these same tubes (and if somehow you don't agree with us, we ask you not to bid at all)!

You CAN usually combine shipment!

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 CURRENT ITEMS IN THESE MINI/MAJOR AUCTIONS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING PLUS $2 FOR PACKAGING MATERIALS (and remember this also applies to U.S. buyers, this week only)!

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)

     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, AND WE WILL NOT DO THAT!
    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.)!
