Special Notes About The Items in This Week's
Sunday Auctions
HERE IS A CHART OF THE ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION:
(to better help you find the types of items that interest you)
NOTE: EVERY item in this auction has an
authentic signature on it which was hand signed onto that item by the
celebrity (some of the items are reproductions which the celebrities signed,
but those are clearly marked, and the ones that are not marked "REPRODUCTION"
are original vintage items). THIS IS A REALLY REMARKABLE OFFERING (which primarily comes from three wonderful collections), and if you have the
slightest interest in autographed items, then you won't want to miss this
auction!
ALSO NOTE: Due to the different types of packages the items in this
auction ship in, some items will ship in flat packages for $6 or $10 to the
U.S. and some will ship rolled in tubes for $10 to the U.S. 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 please be understanding that lots 7j099 to 7j140 can NOT
be combined with the other items in this auction because they must be shipped
rolled in tubes.

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 magazines, scripts, glass slides, German programs, and bulk
lots this week while we offer signed items 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 three weeks on Sunday December 12th (because we have
several different types of auctions scheduled for the next few Sundays),
and almost every week thereafter.
About
the Autographed
Items We Are Offering Note that
a high percentage of these autographed items come to us from
several different collectors who spent decades assembling their collection.
We have put a paragraph (or sentence) on each auction, giving the history of
how the consignor obtained the autograph (to whatever degree we know). The remaining
small percentage of items were consigned to us by either collectors or dealers who
purchased them from reputable autograph sellers between 10 and 30 years ago,
and we believe those to surely be authentic autographs as well.
IN EVERY CASE, WE HAVE GIVEN
ALL OF THE INFORMATION WE KNOW ABOUT WHERE THE
AUTOGRAPH WAS OBTAINED IN THE AUCTION DESCRIPTION FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ITEM.
A very few of the
items come with a "Certificate of Authenticity", but the vast majority do
not. Please read over each auction description carefully, so you will
know all we know about the provenance of that item.
Note that this is the fifth of our special "all signed"
auctions! We have included almost ALL of our remaining signed
items in this auction, so we will likely not have another "all signed"
auction for some time (unless we are consigned a new collection). All of the main consignors (the longtime
collectors who consigned the bulk of the items) have told me that they will
give anyone who purchases any of these a 30 day return privilege on any of
these autographed items, because they KNOW them to be genuine, and of
course, that gives every buyer plenty of time to be 100% certain that they
have purchased a genuine autograph!
Remember that most of these items are vintage, but that some are reproductions, and that we always clearly identify which is which.
But, IN EVERY CASE, every one of these items was personally signed
by the person listed! We know they make wonderful special gifts to those
friends or family who you know really like a specific celebrity! This
auction contain 250 personally
signed (autographed) items, with lots of top stars from all years
and genres!
About the
Condition We give a detailed overall condition grade ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good", and only a few which are less than "good to very good") along with more details about the condition described in words (where we thought additional details were needed, because the defects were hard to see). We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, so 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
still for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
About Surface Scuffs and Creasing on
Stills As anyone who looks at old photos knows, twenty to eighty year old photos are almost certain to pick up faint scuffs and creases in the surface emulsion of the photo. Vintage stills are the same way. But when these creases and scuffs are light, you can't see them when you look directly at the still from straight on, but you CAN see them when you tilt the still to the light. We don't consider this a major defect, because we don't know anyone who displays their stills tilted to the light. So if a still has minor scuffs and creases that are not very visible when it is viewed straight on, we still grade it as "very good or very good to fine" (or a higher grade). The only exception to this is if there are scuffs and creases throughout the entire still. Then we grade it as "lesser" (or a lower grade), even if the scuffs and creases are not visible when looked at straight on. We DO feel most collectors can accept minor surface scuffs and creases that can hardly be seen from straight on and are relatively minor. If you disagree, you probably should think long and hard before bidding on the stills that we grade as "lesser", or "very good or very good to fine" (but you still likely will be happy with the stills we grade as "fine or better", because we won't give a still those grades if there are scuffs in the surface emulsion that are at all visible when the still is viewed head-on). |
Payment Options
We accept all major credit cards, either directly over the phone
at 1-417-256-9616
during our regular business hours which are Monday to Friday, 9 AM CST to 5

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
Learn More! To pay with PayPal, follow the step-by-step instructions on the following page
of our website:
http://www.emovieposter.com/statpages/paypal_payment_instructions.php.
U.S. customers
may now pay us using our
PayPal
Express Checkout! NOTE: This is in development, so we are currently
unable to allow non-U.S. customers to use the Checkout to pay (although they
can use it to request their shipping quote), but we will be adding
that ability very soon. Also note that it is still fine to pay us using any
other payment method (including using PayPal "the old way").
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)!

U.S. Shipping Details
U.S. customers pay either $6 or $10 for
shipping in this set of auctions!
NOTE: Due to the different types of
packages the items in this auction ship in, some items will ship in flat
packages for $6 or $10 to the U.S. and some will ship rolled in tubes for
$10 to the U.S. We have noted in the above 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 please be understanding
that lots 7j099 to 7j140 can NOT be combined with the other items in
this auction because they must be shipped rolled in tubes.
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 $2.50 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 different types of packages so...
*FLAT items (lots 7j001 to 7j098
and
7j141 to 7j250) can be
combined with these auctions only:
- Sunday November 7th miscellaneous items that do not
fit in our standard auctions
- Thursday November 11th single 8" x 10" stills

11th Annual Halloween auction

|
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 $6 or $10 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.
NOTE: Due to the different types of
packages the items in this auction ship in, some items will ship in flat
packages and some will ship rolled in tubes. We have noted in the above 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 please be understanding
that lots 7j099 to 7j140 can NOT be combined with the other items in
this auction because they must be shipped rolled in tubes.

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 $2 outside the U.S.)!
