Christmas in January?
« on: January 31, 2010, 03:41:32 PM »
I have just been going through some of the stuff I have in my collection and just found an unopened package from emovieposter from March of 2009!  I wonder what could be inside?

Maybe some missing tax papers?

Well that certainly beats anything tax related by a large margin...

Louie, what film or films did these 3 WC end up being from?

Early '30s stuff sounds interesting.  :D

That had to be sweet!

I have a handful of unopened tubes and flats from emovie. Unlike you, I am scared to look.

Edit: I really should check thread dates  :P

Wow! We are going to start sending you empty tubes and boxes and then consign the stuff to other auctions!

Not a bad strategy Bruce - I bet more buyers than you would think leave your items in their original packaging without opening!

Over the years, quite a few of the collectors who consign their entire collection DO include some unopened packages.

I get consignments that are only in sealed packages
loads of them.
They never come in open packages
that would be bad
