Does anyone on here buys bulk items from Bruce? Just wondering. I have never done it, and will never do it, because this is not the way I collect. I like to know each poster's condition and don't want to end up trashing 90% of the posters I got for a few I might keep, let alone pay for shipping. Have you guys done it?

I have done it a few times. I have bid on some this time as well (But this time I've let myself be outbid on all of them, I think...). I think they are best for the beginning collector--but not you. I have bid several times, going after certain posters, paying more than I wanted to pay, and ending up with
many posters I have no use for as well as the one or two I wanted. Besides, those one or two I was after invariably I find elsewhere. The lots are a great idea in one sense- and I applaud Bruce and company for offering them. But for you and even myself (But I don't seem to ever learn) who have been collecting for years, it's probably not the best way to spend the $$$. As far as condition, most are more or less accurately graded. I have had a few things come through with a bit more wear than I thought was warranted for the grade the lot received. But eMovie does have images of ALL of the posters in the lots and you can blow them up and inspect them. But really... I think you'd be better off looking for that one title or however many you see in a lot elsewhere. You can probably find someone reselling them on eBay. (I spent $80-$90 or more recently for a lot to get an obscure poster for a kiddie matinee movie I didn't have, TOM THUMB AND LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. There are now a few on eBay from other lots that contained the same poster.) But do what you think best... CHEERS!
