I hate the fact that Emovie destroyed some great looking sets, I'm guessing in an attempt to make more money. Why would you separate a set like Laura? That set should stay together. It's hard enough to put a set together, but you finally do, it's sad to see it go different places, as I'm sure this set and others will.

Need to be fair to Bruce. He clearly has stated that this is the seller's call and he is only the agent.

I love that some people may be more shocked by a Male nipple, rather than the fact that the body has a huge grisly cut through it! Made me laugh.

Really, all my beach shots have me covering my nipular area.

Sometimes, I even go to the beach wearing daisies in case anyone else is photographing me.

There are some that would be offended seeing a bare chested dude on a poster? What is the world coming to?

I've never noticed if posters that had shirtless guys on them were also "white boxed" over on EMP's auctions. Has this always been the standard, as it is for images of the lovely, nude female form?

$s and business endeavours aside, and following another thread that I contributed to that looks at lobby sets that are sold split or complete, what are the chances that in this day and age, someone who is looking to collect an entire set of Laura cards, does not already have a few in their possession?

Even if a set were sold complete, and if we agree with the above, all that would happen is that someone would shell out big bucks for the set for the remaining cards he needs, and Then have to sell the rest off.

The result would be the same.

But I agree that the emotion and beauty and allure of an entire set is now lost.

Not necessarily. I, for instance, only buy full sets, which is why I bought the Laura set in the first place. It's hard enough to keep track of posters, I don't have time to run after loose lobby cards. So to me, it's a travesty.

If a daisy does it you must be either very young or very small. Glad I wasn't drinking when I read your comment though

Actually here, when Bruce was still participating. It was part of the bulk lots vs individual items discussion, but I'm not going to go to the trouble of finding it. Bruce stated that the seller always had the option of selling combined, individually or letting emovieposter decide.

I still participate, on occasion. When I am asked a question, I usually reply. I have not seen an actual question in a long time.

I'm with T all the way on this, I hate to see sets broke up. I'm in the middle of finding odds I've bought along the way, and it's not quite the thing.

Simes · « **Reply #7566 on:** October 05, 2016, 07:05:23 PM »

Ok, I am not an FB convert so can't comment on comments, political or otherwise. (...aN FB convert / a FB convert... you decide)

That said, we are where we are right now and splitting sets up for sale by those who have collected disparate cards to Make their set is quite surely, the norm, in this day and age.

Emotionally, it does rent a hole in the heart. But, we're all big boys now and we can find a way through. Right?

There are a limited number of "deep pocket" collectors who much prefer complete sets. But auctioning all 8 cards individually does not stop those collectors from going after all of them, it just means they much place 8 bids instead of one. If that is too much trouble for them, I understand.

You might say, "What if I get 7 cards and some nut (or "shill") outbids me on the 8th?" If that happened, in the case of Laura, you surely could find the 8th card elsewhere later.

On the other hand, there are lots of non-deep pocket collectors who would love a single Laura card for their collection, even one of the lesser ones, and this way those guys get a chance to get one of them (and with 8 auctions, they have a really good chance).

But if you only will bid on complete sets, that is fine for you to do. We will have hundreds of complete sets next week, and I hope you look them over carefully!

Bruce thinks both candidates are far and away the worst two candidates ever to run on a Major party, and that either would be easily beaten by any credible candidate.

Another BIN, so not really a mid-auction item, but this US OS of Hitchcock's The 39 Steps, is really pretty spectacular, on both artistic and historic cinematic levels.

And with a handsome, BIN price tag of $26,250.00
