Also for those who don't know, he pissed off a lot of big time collectors when he was charged with the task of providing lobby card illustrations for the then new idea of a movie poster price guide way back in the mid 80's. He called in all kinds of favors to get very rare lobby cards to photograph, under the assumption they would be used as illustrations for the book, which they were. He also promised every collector who contributed images to the project that they would be given credit in the book, They weren't, only Shapiro was. He also never told anyone he was making photographic 11x14 copies of the cards to sell at conventions and through MCW. The "I Love Me" capper was a full page ad he took in the guide featuring a $100 bill with his face on it. The boy was delusional then and still is now. His ego knows no bounds.
