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!

KNOW THAT IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ONLY (Part II of our December Major Auction), all of the posters must be shipped rolled in tubes (bear in mind that some are linenbacked and some are not; the two different types can not be safely combined, so if you win both types, there will be two shipping charges; refer to the chart above) for the actual cost of sending your order (plus $3 for the packaging materials) for all customers (approximately $25 to $40 for up to 3 linenbacked posters, but NOTE THAT THESE ESTIMATED RATES ARE FOR LARGER-THAN-ONE-SHEETS THAT ARE BACKED ONTO A STANDARD WEIGHT LINEN; IF YOU WIN LINEN POSTERS THAT ARE ON A HEAVIER WEIGHT OR A LIGHTER WEIGHT LINEN, THEY MAY COST MORE OR LESS TO SHIP THAN THE ESTIMATES, DEPENDING ON THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF THE POSTER(S)). After winning, you need to request a shipping quote through our Checkout system.
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).

Do you need "signature required"?
 Neither UPS nor USPS automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so if you want the signature to be required, you will need to pay the extra $4.25 for UPS or $2.45 for USPS that they charge for "signature required", and please realize that they will then NOT leave the package at the door, and you may well have to go to the UPS or USPS facility yourself to pick it up if you aren't there to meet the delivery person. 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 (unless your package has a dollar value over $300, in which case we will always send it with signature required, unless you specifically tell us not to, and accept responsibility for the package if it is stolen from your porch or lobby)!

You CAN usually combine shipment!

NOTE: These Tuesday items need to be sent in a variety of ways (as noted on the individual auction pages and in the chart above) so... IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMBINING: Flat rate shipping is good for 3 weeks worth of purchases (assuming all the items fit into a single package; Learn More About Combining). 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. *Most "unbacked, rolled" items can be combined with these auctions and we will combine them automatically if there is no chance of damage to any of them items you win: Tuesday November 7th "rolled" items in Halloween Part III Thursday November 9th "rolled" items Tuesday November 14th rolled non-U.S. posters Sunday November 19th rolled special posters Tuesday November 28th inserts and half-sheets Thursday November 30th rolled one-sheets * The linenbacked posters must ALL be sent separately from all other types of items for an additional shipping charge! They can only be combined with the other linenbacked posters we are auctioning in Parts I and IV. *they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge: Sunday November 5th "flat" items in Halloween Part II Thursday November 9th "flat package" items only Thursday November 9th "three dimensional" items Sunday November 12th single 8x10 stills Thursday November 16th three-sheets, six-sheets, Italian & more Tuesday November 21st folded one-sheets Thursday November 23rd bulk lots (NOTE: Some CAN be combined, and if safe to do so, we will automatically combine them) Sunday November 26th complete and incomplete lobby card sets Sunday December 3rd groups of 2 or more 8x10 stills Tuesday December 5th window cards, French & Italian, and more

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 (even if you get 100 or more, but solely from a single set!), but we also allow you to wait until the next three weeks of auctions end (a total of up to nine sets of auctions) so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if possible; see Learn More About Combining), and that means there is a chance you could combine items from up to nine of our sets of auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items fit into the same type of package, but of course, there is a limit to how many items can fit in a single package or tube, and if you end up with several packages, you will need to pay that many shipping charges; Learn More About Combining). Since around half of our auctions have items that ship in tubes and the other half have items that ship in flat packages, and since few of those items can be combined, most of our regular buyers end up with at least two packages after three weeks. We KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do (and of course, there are others who charge far more!), but none of the ones with lower rates offer the same generous flat rate shipping we do, and 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 SHIPPING AS STATED 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 6 consecutive weeks (a total of 18 auctions and around 15,000+ 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.

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 (plus $3 for packaging materials)!
