Our new Thursday auctions are the most 'fun' set of auctions we do!

[Bruce]

Our just started Thursday auctions, 719 "special" rolled posters (movie-related & non-movie, like war, travel, political, music, and more) are the most 'fun' set of auctions we do! There is a wonderful variety of all sorts of "odd" posters (some connected to movies, but not standard movie posters, and many that have no connection to movies at all). This is where we auction war, travel, music, and circus posters, among many other categories of posters, and we we hope to continue being able to offer such a great variety on a regular basis! While we created a chart to help you find items of interest to you, there are so many unusual types of posters that we HIGHLY recommend that all of you make an effort to look at all of these posters in our gallery format (and you are sure to enjoy doing so, even if you end up not buying any, and solely "window shop")!

About "special" posters
     We regularly receive posters from hundreds of consignors, and the vast majority of them are standard movie poster sizes, and we gather those sizes together, and sell them in individual weeks (each week, posters of a different size). But we also receive a few posters now and then which are NOT standard movie poster sizes, and we also occasionally receive a few posters that are not even movie posters!

     Basically, this week we have gathered together all of our remaining "special" posters, and are auctioning them all at one time. We urge you to look them all over very carefully, for they cover a HUGE range of years, sizes, and subjects and some are likely extremely rare, and we guarantee you that the vast majority of them will have images that are new to you!  Included are a relatively small number of commercial posters (posters sold directly to the public when the movie was created, BUT WE CLEARLY IDENTIFY ALL COMMERCIAL POSTERS AS SUCH!), and also "mini posters", which are the smaller posters that were sometimes given out at theaters to those who attended a movie.  We have listed those commercial and mini posters at the end of the auction, and clearly identified them.  The "special" posters that come before them are ones that were created and distributed to theaters, if they were created in conjunction with a movie (and of course, the other sorts of posters, like war or travel posters are originals that were created for promotional purposes).

     NOTE THAT IT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT WITH POSTERS LIKE THESE TO DETERMINE IF THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD COMMERCIALLY. It is possible we have not identified some posters as commercial posters that actually WERE commercial posters. If you see any that you feel are misidentified, please contact us so that we can make the correction (please provide how you know the information you are giving us!). We try to be 100% accurate, and we welcome all corrections.
It can take quite a while to look over this many unusual posters of all types, and you don't want to miss any hidden "gems" so why not go right now to http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/14.html and start looking them over?

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GREAT DEALS ON REALLY "FUN" DIFFERENT POSTERS (both movie-related and non movie-related), THEN LOOK  NO FURTHER! I JUST LOOKED OVER THE 719 SPECIAL ROLLED POSTERS CLOSING TONIGHT, AND I SAW LOTS AND LOTS OF REALLY WILDLY UNDER-PRICED ITEMS, SO IF YOU LIKE THESE AT ALL, THEN BE SURE TO LOOK THEM OVER VERY CAREFULLY, BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE INCREDIBLE DEALS.

We have 719 "special" rolled posters (movie-related & non-movie, like war, travel, political, music, and more) at auction, and there are just 13 hours to go before they start to end TONIGHT Thursday, February 2nd.

I just looked over the current prices on these just about to end items, and the prices on many of them are really hard to believe! With just over 13 hours to go, the  719 "special" rolled posters include a weird yet wacky 27 with no bid at all, a makes-you-want-to-cry 167 that are still wilting at just $1 each or have no bid, a truly insane 271 that are still withering at just $3 each or under, and a Mt. Everest-like 380 that are $5 each or under! THAT'S RIGHT, WELL OVER HALF ARE CURRENTLY $5 EACH OR UNDER, OVER ONE THIRD OF THE ITEMS ARE CURRENTLY $3 EACH OR UNDER AND ALMOST ONE QUARTER OF THE ITEMS ARE CURRENTLY $1 EACH OR HAVE NO BID!

Of course, once you get OVER just $5, you start hitting lots and lots of "better" titles, but an awful lot of those are currently at VERY reasonable prices, far under what some of them have sold for in the past (the ones we can find any record of selling in the past!) including:
