Details About These Tuesday Items

Should unfolded half-sheets or inserts sell for a major premium over folded ones?
For years we 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 one horizontal and one vertical fold), or get them unfolded. Would not the unfolded ones sell for FAR more in the collector's market than the folded ones? We can't see the difference between this and half-sheets & inserts. It is VERY difficult to find unfolded half-sheets & inserts, but they ARE out there, and we believe we will continue to see their price rise far above that of a folded version (note that most post-1970 half-sheets & inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to half-sheets & inserts from this time period). NOTE THAT THE HALF-SHEETS & INSERTS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY OFFERING INCLUDE A LARGE NUMBER OF UNFOLDED ONES! Around 35% of the 804 half-sheets & inserts have never been folded, and 140 of those 35% are from before 1970, which are the titles you would not expect to find unfolded! This is a very rare opportunity to purchase unfolded older half-sheets & inserts!

About the originality and rarity of these half-sheets & inserts
Half-sheets & inserts from the 1960s on are far more rare than the corresponding one-sheets (with the exception of certain half-sheets & inserts which have been reproduced; see below). In the last few years, many savvy collectors have begun to seek out half-sheets & 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 fair number of "suspect" inserts of certain top titles of the 1970s have been offered in the collector's market (there are also a few "suspect" half-sheets). We believe (as do most major dealers) that these are surely counterfeits. They can be distinguished from genuine inserts and half-sheets by their extra glossy front and back, and their "whiter-than-white" appearance. ALL OF THE HALF-SHEETS & 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!

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!

U.S. Shipping Details

U.S. buyers need to enclose $11 shipping (which includes full insurance), no matter how many items you purchase from this set of auctions! NOTE: Our $11 flat rate shipping is good for three weeks. If you haven't paid within three weeks, you will then be quoted the actual cost of shipping when you request it.
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 Tuesday items need to be sent rolled in tubes so...
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMBINING: Flat rate shipping is good for 3 weeks worth of purchases. If you win items over a span of more than 21 days, you will then be charged the actual cost of shipping plus $3 for packing materials.

*they can be combined with these auctions:

Tuesday January 15th rolled non-U.S. posters
Sunday January 20th rolled one-sheets
Thursday January 24th rolled "special" posters (war, travel, etc)
Sunday February 17th rolled one-sheets

*they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge:

Sunday January 6th miscellaneous items of different types
Tuesday January 8th folded one-sheets
Thursday January 10th complete & incomplete lobby card sets
Thursday January 17th lots of two or more stills from the same film & presskits
Tuesday January 22nd three-sheets, six-sheets, Argentinean, & Italians ($13)
Thursday January 31st single 8" x 10" stills
Sunday February 3rd miscellaneous items of all types
Thursday February 7th single lobby cards

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 three weeks of auctions end (a total of up to eight 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 eight 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 $11 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 $3, for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen and a separate printed invoice mailed to you. 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 6 consecutive weeks (a total of 15 auctions and around 12,000+ 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.

Here is a chart containing estimated shipping charges for up to 3 items from this set of auctions NOTE: These are ESTIMATES only, and your actual shipping may be more or less than these estimates. ALSO NOTE: Insurance will increase the cost of shipping by approximately $1.60 for each $100 of insurance.
Type of Shipping	Canada/Mexico	Australian/Asia/Japan	Everywhere Else (inc Europe)
Priority Mail Int'l - Uninsured	$29.93 / $36.58	$43.14	$45.47
Express Mail - Uninsured	$40.54 / $46.10	$50.84	$51.90
First Class (under 4 lbs ONLY)	$13.00 / $18.74	$22.45	$22.45

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!

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.)!

You Can 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 set of auctions will be sent rolled in tubes, so you can add any item that can also be sent rolled in tubes for little or no additional shipping costs (NOTE: if we can add it to your package without raising the cost of shipping, then we will do so with no added shipping charge, but if it raises the cost then you will need to pay the difference). We have noted below whether the items can be shipped rolled or not.
