Why does this special auction include BOTH autographed items AND vintage scripts
     We were preparing our 37th auction of autographed items, and we realized we had not auctioned vintage scripts for quite a while, so we combined the two into this one extra special auction!

About this special auction of 264 vintage scripts
     All of the 264 scripts we are offering were created by studios. Most were used during the filming of a movie or TV show, and some were created after the production was finished. None of the scripts are "copy scripts", the kind sold by shops on Hollywood Blvd., which are copied from vintage scripts. Many of the scripts we are auctioning come from a specific actor or crew member, and we always identify this on the specific auction.

About this special auction of 1,167 autographed items
     This is the 37th "all-signed" auction from eMoviePoster.com! It contains 1,167 signed items of all types, while it mostly contains autographs of movie-related celebrities, there are also some from celebrities in other fields as well! We can't imagine anyone who has the slightest interest in autographed items not finding several items to bid on, and more likely, you may find that there are so many items of interest to you that it is hard to decide which ones you most want to pursue.

About the authenticity of the autographed items being offered
     A high percentage of the autographed items come to us from many different collectors/dealers who spent decades acquiring their autographs. 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).
     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.  Some of the items come with a "Certificate of Authenticity", and we have provided an image of those, and identified the name of the issuer of that certificate (but know that there are "good" people who issue such certificates and people who may not be "good", so don't automatically assume that having this means the item is authentic; you can research the person who issued it by searching for them on the Internet). IF THERE IS NO CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY PICTURED, THEN ONE DOES NOT COME WITH THE ITEM.  Please read over each auction description carefully, so you will know all we know about the provenance of that item.
     KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT "AUTOGRAPH EXPERTS"! We strongly suggest that all bidders do whatever research they want to do about the autographs BEFORE placing bids (such as comparing the signatures to other known signatures found on the Internet).
    But we also know how hard it is to be certain of an autograph's authenticity when you are not seeing the item in person. So, to make certain that we only have satisfied buyers, we will give anyone who purchases any of these a 30 day return privilege (from the date the auction closes) on any of these autographed items, and of course, that gives every buyer plenty of time to be 100% certain that they have purchased a genuine autograph! But realize that you can't return items AFTER 30 days (from the auction's closing), so be sure to do whatever checking and authenticating you need to do either before the auction ends, or within the 30 days.
     Of course, we don't want people returning items because they "changed their minds", and it is vital that any returned items must be returned safely (ideally in the same packing) and received in the exact same condition it was sent, and the return offer will expire exactly 30 days after the auction closes (because we must pay our consignors, and there will be no exceptions).
     Just over SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of the items offered are vintage items, which means that just under TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of the items are later reproductions (but some of the reproductions date from as far back as the 1960s), and WE ALWAYS CLEARLY IDENTIFY WHICH IS WHICH, AND WE PUT THE REPRODUCTIONS IN SEPARATE SECTIONS AT THE END OF THE AUCTIONS, SO AS TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE CLEAR.
     But, IN EVERY CASE, every one of these items was actually personally signed by the person listed (if the item is a reproduction, then it means the person signed it after it was created, and the signature itself is NEVER "reproduced")! We know they make wonderful special gifts to those friends or family who you know really like a specific celebrity!

About the shipping of items in this set of auctions
     Due to the different types of packages the items in this auction ship in, some items will ship in flat packages, some will ship rolled in tubes, and all will be the "actual cost of shipping" even for those in the U.S. (see below for why) 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.

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).

THERE IS AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ONLY (this "all signed" auction). The items being auctioned ship either rolled in tubes or in flat packages, and you should refer to each individual auction page or the chart above to know how it will be shipped. After winning and depending on what you win, you may need to request a shipping quote through our Checkout system. Learn the exact details of flat rate shipping

U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order plus $3, for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen (you can choose either the U.S. Post Office or UPS (since you are paying it, you can choose the method you prefer). All U.S. orders will be sent fully insured.

Our Pay and Hold Program (see below for how this works) allows you to have your purchases sent every SIXTEEN weeks, which means we will only send you packages around three times a year, but you MUST pay for your purchases every two weeks, even though they may not be shipped for 16 weeks. We urge all of our customers to join the Pay and Hold Program, because it really saves you a massive amount on shipping!

Missouri, California, Washington, and Illinois customers: If your order is sent within these states, we MUST collect sales tax, and we will do so automatically (unless you have a Reseller Certificate from your state in which case you need to reply to this email with a copy of that Certificate, so you can be exempted from the sales tax).

Have you heard about our Pay and Hold Program?
This lets U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 16 consecutive weeks (a total of 12 auctions and around 16,000+ 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 U.S. buyers who are already part of this program.

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 $5.00 for UPS or $2.60 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. 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, due to the massive rise in "porch thefts", unless you specifically tell us not to, and you will need to fully accept responsibility for the package if it is stolen from your porch or lobby)!

You CAN usually combine shipment!

NOTE: These items need to be sent both rolled and flat so... IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMBINING: We will combine bulk lots with other purchases when possible, but because many bulk lots contain lots of items, it is not always possible to combine them; Learn More About Combining). *items marked as "flat" shipping usually can be combined with these items (but know that if they can't be combined into a single package, then we will ship them in separate packages for the actual cost of shipping): Thursday July 8th miscellaneous flat items of every kind Tuesday August 3rd July Major Part I items that ship in flat packages Thursday August 5th July Major Part II items that ship in flat packages Tuesday August 31st items that ship in flat packages *items marked as "rolled" shipping usually can be combined with these items (but know that if they can't be combined into a single package, then we will ship them in separate packages for the actual cost of shipping): Tuesday July 6th rolled one-sheets, non-U.S, and special posters Sunday July 11th inserts, 1/2-shs, small non-U.S Tuesday August 3rd July Major Part I items that ship rolled in tubes Thursday August 5th July Major Part II items that ship rolled in tubes Thursday September 2nd items that ship rolled in tubes

Note that (if you join our Pay and Hold Program) we allow you to wait to have your purchases shipped until a total of twelve auctions have ended 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 all those items, 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 two types of items can be combined, most of our regular buyers end up with at least two packages after twelve 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 combined 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 ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (plus $3 for packaging materials)!

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.

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 (but bear in mind that, depending on the state, we might have to then charge U.S. sales tax)! 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 (plus $3 for packaging materials)!
