Our December 2011 Mini/Major Auction has an incredible selection of posters and lobby cards (1500+ items in all!), covering all years, genres, and sizes and is being run in four parts:

• Part I (Sunday November 27th to December 4th): 292 linenbacked items
• Part II (Tuesday November 29th to December 6th): 444 rolled and folded unbacked posters of all types!
• Part III (Thursday December 1st to 8th): 180 oversized posters, paperbacked posters, and more!
• Part IV (Sunday December 4th to 11th): many hundreds of great 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!

SPECIAL BONUS OFFER TO EVERY BUYER IN THESE AUCTIONS!

INCREDIBLE! Every buyer from ANY of the parts of our "December 2011 Mini/Major 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 VERTIGO one-sheet 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 1500+ 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 parts combined (you need just purchase a total of five items from any of the 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 6,607 collectors already are, then why not join today by going to https://www.emovieposter.com/club/settings.php).

About the condition
Note that we give an 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 item for minor defects that we did NOT describe.

If an item 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 item 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 need to know the following about shipping the items in Part III:

• Buyers of lots 6w016-6w081 will pay $11 shipping (which includes full insurance) and those items ship in regular flat packages.
• Buyers of lots 6w001-6w015 & 6w094-6w152 must pay the actual cost of shipping in oversized or very oversized packages.
• Buyers of lots 6w082-6s093 must pay the actual cost of shipping in oversized tubes.
• Buyers of lots 6w153-6w180 must pay the actual cost of shipping in either oversized flat packages (but can be combined in tubes with the linenbacked items from Part I that close 12/4; we would prefer to send them flat, because rolling these small linenbacked posters might give them creases).

     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 flat packages OR in tubes so... *lots 6w016-6w081 & 6w094-6w180 can be combined with these auctions: Tuesday November 15th folded one-sheets Thursday November 17th complete & incomplete lobby card sets Sunday November 20th 'regular' Sunday items Sunday November 27th 'regular' Sunday items Thursday December 1st single 8x10 stills Thursday December 8th items in December Part III (items that ship flat only) *lots 6w153-6w180 can also be combined with these auctions: Sunday December 4th linenbacked posters in December Part I *lots 6w082-6s093 can be combined with these auctions: Tuesday November 22nd half-sheets, Japanese B2s, and Belgian posters Thursday November 24th inserts & Italian locandinas Thursday December 8th items in December Part III (rolled, unbacked only) *they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge: Sunday November 20th & 27th '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 U.S. SHIPPING AS DESCRIBED 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.)!
