Just wondering, has anyone here received their Mini/Major order? Anyone haven't as of yet?
But really When does bad customer service start catching up with seller like Mondo that dont seem to care because they know theres more buyers out there to take the place of the ones they lose .. not to mention the fact that I dont want to stop buying LOL .. I want my posters !! :P
whew, I don't see any in there that I "need"!

It's lonely out here in right field!

I think that means there is still plenty of money left to be spent (because people didn't get to spend it at those auctions).
I think that the reason so much passed in those auctions was the too high reserves
I love that CEOTTK banner! The auctions took in $284,000. Anyone else here get anything?

So what did you all win? Big bids were out for me in light of the recent Bogart cache (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,327.msg12829.html#msg12829) I stumbled upon... However, I still managed to win a very cool Czech Battle of Algiers poster. It is a fantastic film and I now have several posters for it...

That banner rocks... do you have the space to display it? I've got my eye on some pretty big posters (French double grands, banners, etc...) but I'm not sure I'll ever have a wall big enough to put them on!

Scored these 2 Chinese posters, the first Chinese posters in my collection, and they look pretty sweet. I lost the "bidding war" on the German Apocalypse Now, but "win some and lose some." Congratulations to the winner. Keep up the good work, Bruce and the emovieposter team.
Nice. Glad I could contribute ;D
I did get some today. One I REALLY wanted for once too ...but...Im waiting though til is up up and framed to show and tell. :)
So can you spill the beans yet Zorba? Is it on your wall?
I would say that those who primarily collect "newer" posters (those post 1970) are often very anti-linen, and of course I see no reason to buy any post 1970 poster linenbacked when you can almost certainly find it off linen.
Bruce
I'm having the same issue Angelo.
If only I could go in the waybackmachine and buy some of your posters!
OK, wise guys. Then please explain to me why this reissue poster, which is also linenbacked (which is like a poster having syphilis, according to you guys), went for what it did?

I don't have stats at hand, but it is more than the last few. I was expecting around $200,000, so it surpassed my expectations, and in today's environment, that's great.

Is not one of our country's greatest problems today that so many businesses have stopped "trying to build something", and instead are trying to squeeze extra pennies out of their bottom line (by moving jobs and factories overseas, by cheapening the quality of what they sell, by squeezing their employees into working harder for no more money, etc, etc)?
Let's see who can come closest to guessing the total of the final selling prices of the 8 Harry Potter It All Ends one-sheets!
Whoever gets closest among those who post BEFORE the first auction starts to close will get a set of 8 of my books sent to them free (in the U.S.).
Whaddya think? Will all 8 combined be worth as much as ONE Bueller?

So linen backing adds value... I've read that it ruins the value to collectors.
Oh yes... I see some I want to go after.
So linen backing adds value... I've read that it ruins the value to collectors.
A lot of great stuff so far Bruce... No wonder why you are so busy.
linen-backing dramatically approves the appearance of many posters
(http://posternirvana.com/0DNE/Compare.jpg)
(is worth same or less on linen)
By the way, does Bruce ever have just a "Major" auction?
I felt they were not "major" but clearly far superior to the weekly auctions, and I searched for a name and came up with Mini/Major, which has stuck.
From 1990 to 2003 I organized 16 auctions that took in between $500,000 and $1,200,000 each. They were annual or semi-annual.
I think to newbies in general on linen it may be worth more, to us wiser folk I think being on linen is worth the same or less than unbacked. To me it is worth less backed - been stung too many times.
In a major auction the items are likely to be the more desirable & harder to find items so people would put up with the linen.
To someone who gets their own poster backed, it is worth it. When it comes to resale, its buyer beware.
The site I am building (of my collection) will show the pre backed photos to help allay some concerns if I go on to sell any.
In a major auction the items are likely to be the more desirable & harder to find items so people would put up with the linen.
You know I think a linenbacked poster should come with a guidebook or something detailing pre-backed, during backing, and post backed pictures and commentary...
Bruce must need to rush off somewhere as this auction advertisement is just 2 lines!
If you thought the first three parts of our mini/major auction had great stuff, wait until you take a gander at Part IV!
You will KNOW for certain that we saved some of the best for last.

You are to be congratulated, the sheer variety of "Monsters/Aliens/Baddies/Heroes Carrying Girls Who Have Passed Out" genre is to be marveled at the very least...I counted at least a dozen, of course even more if the if one includes the oft added but really-not-the-same genre "Monsters/Aliens/Baddies/Heroes Carrying Girls Who Are About To Pass Out"...a common mistake by amateur collectors to be sure.
If you had scans for every page of the pressbooks I'd pay!
Good to see many of the extremely rare 1920s and 30s posters have been updated with better images.
Keep up the good work.

Nice, Bruce.
Portal Productions repro copies of The Little Colonel are ALWAYS appearing on ebay.. so it is truly nice to see an actual, original OS from the film.
Part I and Part II of our April Major Auction together contain ONE THOUSAND professionally linenbacked posters.
But when buying linenbacked posters, you always need to be careful that the seller or auctioneer is being 100% truthful about the amount of restoration a poster has had. We at eMoviePoster.com ALWAYS give a thorough description of the "pre-restoration" defects a poster has had, so you can bid knowing full well that what you receive will match what you saw, and that the poster did not have more restoration than what was described.
Not to answer for Bruce, but I believe he has a large light table to reveal any and all restoration areas.
By the way Bruce, where are our part IV and V previews? :)
To lay out & go over 1000+ linen backed posters (for this auction with alone) with a fine tooth comb, look for & notate each tear and flaw, both large and small, like this, would take quite a bit of time, I would imagine. If that is actually emovie's process, major kudos to them! thumbup
Now I'm even more curious to know. :D
I DO actually do this, and I do it all myself. I have condition graded tens of thousands of linenbacked posters. I refuse to delegate this to others. Every auction I am sent posters that were bought at other auctions, and some percentage of them were massively mis-graded the earlier go-round. Maybe it was because they lacked experience, or proper tools, or maybe they were "looking the other way". Many others are sent to me that were accurately graded.
The vast majority of the linen posters I auction are sent to me that way. I prefer to auction unbacked posters as they are, so the new buyer can both choose the restorer they want to use, and also choose the amount of restoration they want the poster to have. Besides, an awful lot of backed posters auction for a significant discount to the cost of linen, so it is not necessarily a smart move to back a poster, UNLESS the seller is deceptive about the amount of restoration it has had.

Up until around 1980, just about every one-sheet movie poster was folded right after printing. After that time, the posters were made in two versions for a number of years, one folded like normal and the other completely unfolded.
But a very few pre-1980 titles can very rarely be found unfolded. Perhaps the "Holy Grail" of these is the Jaws one-sheet, and we have a very nice unfolded example of it closing Tuesday night at http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3375764
Do you have classic movie posters or lobby cards you have considered selling?
(http://www.emovieposter.com/online/previews/2014july/20140509_julymajorpreview_jaws.jpg)
We sold a very similar poster with a different image and a date. I think that one was the "domestic" 7-sheet and that this one is the "international" style.
Hi Bruce
Here is a suggestion for the website that might be quick and easy to come up with. Basically an icon on each listing - and when clicked, it opens up the auction history page with the search results for that title automatically coming up (my generation is very, very lazy).
I absolutely hate not having a "sniping" option. This month I had watch lists loaded up on two occasions and got pulled away from the computer. Early bidding simply results in zero wins.
:) , I am not against the extended time auctions. I just would like to snipe it with the original time end and let the extended kick in afterward, then whatever happens, happens. With so many auctions going, some of the live last minute bidders might not get back to the ones I bid.
Bruce, you're hilarious!!! Such a savvy businessman. Always thinking about those poor innocent bidders.
laugh1

Love that Theda Bara Salome poster, Bruce. Gorgeous.
Are they linen backed? Or a mix of both?
What is your guess? They are NOT from the earlier collection (we sold all that fellow had).
Right..i know there were "no leftovers" from your previous SW auction.
As far as what these are? No idea. A mix of both? That's why i was asking about the new batch. ;)

You know I've talked to Bruce about this. He's welcome to come back at any time and he knows it. Whatever he decides is totally fine with me. I will never ask someone to stay or someone to come back.

When you post this here, you show a few dozen people how smart you are.
When you email us these, then we correct the mistakes in our auction history, AND email all the buyers, offering them full refunds, plus shipping, since we originally had incorrect information.
Even if it was many years ago.
So I hope you emailed us this info, in addition to posting it here.
Thanks.
As well as the random, 130+ non-member "guests" that are here on any given day of the week.
Could not many of those guests be bots? And surely each one does not click on every topic.
Regardless, whether 30 or 130, my point stands.
But the point is still that he should email us those corrections. If he wants to also brag here about how much he knows fine, but it is unfair to expect me to pore over every post, looking for corrections.

I think we all suffer from everyone thinking Bruce has the time to pay attention to all these threads (which is usually at night) and then makes notes so he can then give the information back to his employees the next day to make the corrections. I am on here every day and still once or month or so search my name to make sure I didn't miss anything and often find something. I've e-mailed several times about things and whom ever is responding quickly replies that they will look into it... Within a few days I get a reply back and start to see the updates.
I would suggest Tang, that you bombard him with information so that other collectors don't buy stuff thinking it's something it is not... I think as a hobby we also under appreciate his free database. Not only will the info be correct for buyers but even when you are buying from eBay or other venues (to make sure everything is correct).

It's just yrs and yrs of research , that's all.
Right on. Thanks for sharing some of your knowledge here.

Hey Bruce, when do you plan to announce the changes to pay and hold ? I think I got an inkling of what's being changed by the looks of an email i got last week from someone over at EMP.
I was a monstrous programming job.
Will the future hold a FOURTH weekly auction, and if so, on what day? Only time will tell!
Bruce, is this just fodder for your post, or are you seriously considering a FOURTH auction ?
Would that be wrong?None of those apply, really. Its just a question. dontknow.gif
OR, was this a clever way to get me to post too many times, and be chastised again?

Have something to counter the lobby/still/lot auctions in one of the weekly spots. The rolled from any country , one sheet, or even large format are good counters. Half sheet , insert, lobby, still, lot , misc stuff gives me nothing to look at for 4 auctions straight now. That's terrible!

It's online and "live" and you can place your bids! Our all-Star Wars Auction is open at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/15.html
Remember that we are the only major auction in the entire world that has NO buyers premiums, honest condition descriptions of every item, and unenhanced supersized images of every item we auction!
Every one of these 443 items (which includes ONLY Star Wars movie posters, action figures and other related items) started at $1 with no reserve, and unlike the vast majority of auctions, every item REALLY will sell to the highest bidder!
Please do us a favor! If you find ANY mistake in any of these auctions, no matter how trivial, please send an email to "matt@emovieposter.com" and we will get them corrected on Monday.
And these auctions are lots of fun to look through, even if you are only "window shopping", because you likely will see many items you have not seen before!
That is a great question for the members here.
Did you ever buy an item (or items) from any auction that was NOT honestly described, and how did they respond when you told them about it?
These are Hong Kong cards that were glued to boards and used in Switzerland.
They only had 2 lobby styles for Bruce Lee in H.K :
-Eng and Chinese lettering
-English only lettering
Only Swiss used the crown logo that the ones you sold had.

These are 1st issues I believe , not re-issue (by P. Ragioni , I think....I've got the 2sh & will check)
Hey Bruce , you do an awesome job but with so many auctions hickups can happen now and then.....you're not a bad guy & go beyond call of duty imo thumbsup.gif
Darn it, I awoke just now and read the above but auctions nearly over. I thought you posted with a bit more time ahead. Suggestion, maybe a sort filter on ending soonest so I can catch the last few still available
Yeah, I was half asleep. Time left ascending decending too complicated in that state of mind!
You might mock, but you did an ad showing different product, that this time made the auction worth a look, I saw and liked those but missed out, I'm sure I'm not the first. Maybe Sunday auctions finish earlier to your last posting. That's my problem I guess being in the wrong time zone!
Forget my suggestion increasing the gap for the sunday auction notification then and continue to belittle me for making it!
With respect, the auctions last for a full seven (7) days. It is not as though you are in the wrong time zone for all hours of all those seven days.
You know the auctions start and end on the same three days every single week, of every single year - set yourself reminders if needs be...!
Filtering: ........I can't search by filtering on images of sexy ladies with big boobs, so I have to look at all 999 items and with Bruce's white squares this process is not very appealing.
Our August Major Auction concluded on Sunday with total sales of $311,660, far above our expectations. Every item REALLY sold to real buyers, some at bargain prices and some at world record prices!
Congrats fella.
You've got way too many items that I'd like to add on this week's, Thursday/Rolled 1sh auction.... you guys put together a killer one.
It was one of the very best we have ever had. I am surprised none of the "pros" here commented on some poster that previously sold for higher than it did yesterday.
There are two benefits to consigning early to our December Major Auction. The first is that we always use the first example of each item consigned to us, so if yours gets here first, it is in.
Maybe it is different for Major Auctions, but for non major you mentioned (some years back) if you had duplicates you always put up for auction the best copy first. This was at a time when people had some concern they bid on an average copy possibly only to find a better copy a short while later
Very nice line up of cards.
One question though. Why the inclusion of the Man with the Golden Gun cards? Was this due to the tenuous link of Christopher Lee, the horror master? Or the horror that was Britt Ekland's casting and acting?
Wonderful lineup of cards, Bruce! clap clap clap clap
I don't make a big deal out of it when people send pretty marginally Halloweeny items like those. I would think they might well have done better in the regular auction.
Oh, what? Do people consign and then request exposure in a certain auction? Would have thought you would be the person to judge that, being your business 'n' all.
I think you would be amazed to see just how difficult it is to run 3,000 unique auctions a week!
I wouldn't be amazed. I am a project manager by trade, sort of used to organising things and people but this is with an end in sight.
Yours is an on-going operations exercise and every now and then, I look at the sort of steps I think would be involved to manage your enterprise, plus then the Pay and Hold stuff, payments back and forth, and then my head hurts and I give up. I think the processes you must have in place must really be rigorously written and thoroughly upheld.
I think it is all really quite amazing. And difficult.
Here is the 'Did You Know' faq/page on EMP on how to create a Want List.
http://www.emovieposter.com/tips_archive.php?id=1106&searchterms=want list (http://www.emovieposter.com/tips_archive.php?id=1106&searchterms=want list)
It really is the bee's knees. Every time a title(s) in my Want List comes up for auction, I get an email from EMP with a link to that listing.
I'm surprised those knuckleheads above haven't been using this function all along.
Really?

I tried to create a want list for photos of women in the bath but I can't seem to create that. Can you help?
PLEASE don't forget about the incredible 326 horror/sci-fi items of all types in Part III of our 17th Annual Halloween Auction ending Sunday at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/15.html. There are so many great items that are currently far under where the same or similar items have sold for in the past. If there are going to be great buys, why shouldn't YOU get them?

thank you Bruce for resisting the urge to double post a dozen large size images on this forum nearly each an every day
Some of us really appreciate that. notworthy.gif

Good stuff, Bruce. Missed out on a few things :( By the time I checked, a lot was gone already. Nice French Rope, and a bargain at the moment. Not surprised to see one of the biggest French collectors attached to it. Especially at that price.

PS: And I bought something, so it wasn't for nothing ;)

Pennies Per Poster! eMoviePoster.com has 160 ONE-SHEET bulk lots containing 5,104 in all (ONLY one-sheets this time, both rolled and folded!) that end this Sunday afternoon at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/15.html, beginning at 3 PM CST (NOT at 7 PM like our Tuesday and Thursday auctions).
The prices have to be seen to be believed! There are very few lots that are over $1 per one-sheet, and LOTS of them that are at pennies per poster! Why do we only have one-sheets this time in our bulk lot auctions? It is because preparing our December Major Auction took everything we had, and we just flat out ran out of time! So you may be able to get unbelievable deals on these 5,104 one-sheets, better than in our "regular" bulk lot auctions!
Remember that on OUR auctions there are NO buyers premiums, so $1 is REALLY $1, and NOT "$1, plus $19 buyers premium", and with these bulk lots, you pay only the actual cost of shipping them to you (plus $3 for packing materials) and we WILL combine your purchases into as few packages or tubes as possible!
At these prices they cost less than wrapping paper (so you could get a bunch of these and use them that way, but to us that would be a sin). You could start a collection, or you could slap them on eBay at $9.99 each and make a bundle, or you could sell them from your website (we can provide buyers with unwatermarked giant images of their purchases, so that is super easy to do with virtually NO work on your part). So why not go to the above link right now and start "stealing" some fun movie posters?
One thing is for certain! Whether you would be buying these to add to your collection at joke low prices, or whether you would be buying to re-sell online, or through a store or at collectible shows, you will likely never get a chance to get greater bargains! Unlike many sellers of bulk lots, we at eMoviePoster.com always picture every single item in every bulk lot, so you always know exactly what you will be receiving, and just how great a deal each bulk lot is at the price you pay!
If YOU want to take advantage of these unbelievably low-priced bulk lot ONE-SHEETS, then you need to visit the above link well before they begin closing on Sunday at 3 PM CST, because it takes a while to look at over 5,104+ one-sheet in 160 lots!
They are posters from the "S2 Art Group". This company bought 100-year-old lithograph presses, completely refurbished them, and created stone slabs that allowed them to make nearly perfect replicas of classic movie posters (and in some cases making a stone litho version of a poster that was not originally a stone litho!).
They were printed in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed (re-creating them down to the finest detail within the art, and even including the tiny writing from the bottom of the poster). These posters were printed between 1997 and 2003, and were NOT printed when the movies were originally released. They are super high quality and measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm] (except for two three-sheets they made, King Kong and Metropolis, which are in 3 sections and measure 41 x 81 when combined).
Here is an example: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/2308962.html
(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA151203/550/frankenstein_BM04826_T.jpg)
So how are they discernible from the Original from year of release if the rendition is so perfect?
That 'It Happened One Night' window card is beautiful.
In the past two years, two of the best known dealers (both of whom have been in the hobby for decades), Dwight Cleveland and Dominique Besson, decided to consign HUGE portions of their inventories to us, even though they could have sold the items themselves, or consigned them to other auctions.
Very unfair but, I voted Angie if only because I have conversed with her more than Phil.
Both though equally very helpful and quick off the mark.
Cheers to both.
Aside from the synchronicity of numbers, why are you stopping? Just one less job to do a day? Or some other reason?
As you all likely know, we auctioned the remarkable Dominique Besson one-sheet collection in our December Major Auction. He recently sent us a kind note of thanks as follows:
"I really wanted to thank all of you at eMoviePoster.com for your wonderful job done with my collection. When I first contacted Bruce in early November, I was not sure he would accept all my conditions, as it was a very large collection, and it was just over a month before the auction needed to begin.
But we were able to quickly reach an agreement, and the only thing I had to do was to ship the collection to Missouri, and I did nothing else! Incidentally, since the auction was first announced, I have received many messages from all over the world asking if I was preparing to retire, but definitely I am not! I just needed some money to buy a new apartment in Paris.
As usual with all eMoviePoster.com auctions, all my posters were described very precisely, and I was very pleased with the results of this auction. We are now one month after it concluded and I already received the full payment. It was really impressive service. Thanks again to all of you at eMoviePoster.com for your great job auctioning my one-sheet collection!"
Thanks so much to Dominique for this great reference! When it came time to consign this large and valuable collection, he knew that we at eMoviePoster.com were the only ones who could do justice to it, and get you the highest prices overall, while charging far and away the lowest commissions of ANY major auction. If any of YOU reading this have reached the point where you want to sell all or part of your collection, know that you too could do no better than to consign it to us (and like Dominique, you won't do the slightest bit of work, other than getting the items safely to us)!
Yeah, that's good to read, a fine endorsement.
On the subject of auctioning of a collection like that, Bruce, do you ever get huge rolled collections arriving from abroad and if so, how do they ship them? Flat in a box? Rolled in numerous tubes?
"We have the longest continuously running auctions of any auction, with over 1,262,000 to date from over 1,949 consignors."
I am impressed the average consignor consigns 647 posters thumbsup.gif The average consigner must sure be pleased with the EMP service.
It is now TOO LATE to consign to our March Major Auction which starts February 26th, so return to our site on that date and start bidding (and this auction truly has something for EVERY collector, including these three great one-sheets and an ultra-rare Star Wars 7-sheet)!
Don't forget to use our "Search Filters" which are located to the left of our auction galleries.
For example, in the case of these lobby card auctions, they include 117 horror/sci-fi sets (including some excellent titles), and you can see just those by clicking on the Search Filter that says "horror/sci-fi", and the same is true for all the other filters, like "cowboy western", "crime", "Walt Disney", "Sean Connery", "Clint Eastwood", or for the 87 lobby card sets that are solely from the 1940s, and on and on! Using these Search Filters well makes your time spent in our galleries FAR more productive, and once you get used to them, you won't know how you ever lived without them (and there is no other auction site that has similar Search Filters that work like ours do!).
I have to say Bruce, I do really like those search filters. When you have specific collecting interests, the filters do make it a lot more convenient to browse the auction items.
A Star Wars 24-sheet?!?! Impressive.
ECONOMY PROOF! ;)
My bank balance is hurting already - looking forward to the auction and best of luck to you Bruce, hopefully its your best auction yet!!!!
They DO make a world of difference, especially as you keep learning to use them better. Incidentally it costs a fortune to maintain our Auction History database (both hosting fees and the work of constantly updating it and correcting it) so at some point I may add a monthly fee for using it, so enjoy it while it is 100% free!
In case you are wondering, that is NOT where that came from!
It would be a shame if you did that Bruce. It is a fabulous tool for everyone to use, collectors and dealers alike.
I would highly recommend "wikipedia it up", and ask for the donation (which I would contribute to, and I am sure many others would as well) to keep it free.
A leading German expert told us he believes it is a repro. We ended the auction and will ask other German experts their opinion, and if it is a repro (as seems likely) we will return it to the owner.
Gotcha. Thanks for the update!

Why so harsh to Bruce? it's a shame he doesn't feel comfortable posting here anymore.
Back in June 2015 he saved my bacon by flying out to DC one his best employees to round up/pack my last 500 posters when I couldn't do it myself.
That said, I still have no love for the EMP cartoons,ha-ha!
Excited about Star Wars. Hopefully there will be stuff I don’t have.

Yesterday's Part I of our December Major Auction took in $153,944.00, and brought eMoviePoster.com to over $5 million in annual sales ($5,052,057.00, to be exact), and that means we are very likely to break our all-times sales record, set in 2015!
For non-FB users, could I ask what the post was?
Betting his sales were up, right?
If so, congrats indeed.

Found it, just under $5.5m last year in sales. Splendid.
Looking at your table of numbers, there were only five years since 2002 when there was a dip on the previous year.... Splendid stuff.
Thanks BigBoss for re-posting, and thanks Simes for the congrats!
And me, nothing? My feelings are hurt.

and it wasn't because we had fewer crap items
Of course, we also sell LOTS of high quality movie paper. In 2017 alone, we auctioned 9,267 items for over $100, and we auctioned 426 items for $1,000 or more, and every one of those items had accurate condition descriptions! Our total sales for 2017 were $5,596,923 (which means we have averaged well over five million in sales per year the past five years), and we have now held over 1,391,000 auctions in all! Whether you are looking for great bargains, or the finest movie paper, or anything in-between, remember to go to eMoviePoster.com. We have honest unenhanced images of all we auction and we give true customer service!

I bet the girls on the beach weren't covered in white censorship squares
Are people on the other side of the globe not on their holidays in June?
So I don't super understand the logic of having a Major Auction in the middle of August, when most people are on a well deserved vacation or hopefully having better things to think about than movie posters. ... It would also give people some breathing room between Heritage and Emovie. Is there some reasoning I fail to understand?
I think both companies plan out their auctions well in advance, they just happen to overlap sometimes.
But honestly, EMP's major auction does what - a few hundred thousand total over 1,000+ items- less than $350 per item average.
Is that really something you need to save up breathing room for?
I spent $2,400 on 3 items yesterday. If I had my way, I would have probably doubled that. It may not be a lot of money to you, but it is to most people.
So yes, $2,400 is something to save up breathing room for.
sm1 all good.
was just pointing out that you are at the top of the food chain for EMP auctions, the breathing room you need is far different than most.
I am not. 70mm and Noah are. I just buy what I need. Not everything in sight.
I'm not going to go back to see what you wrote ten posts above. Sorry, just not that interested in what you have to say. You said "top of the food chain" and that I'm not. Since you LOVE to have the final say, here's your opportunity. Carry on.
This Bruce bashing has got to stop.
The consignor said he got it straight from the celebrity.
It doesnt match any known Streisand signature , this is fact
One nice poster for me so far from the EMP December auction! And, it will be very appropriate to post it on Christmas Eve. OkieThats easy gotta be the one with the xmas trees..
