Title: Lobby cards - show us yours
Post by: Dread_Pirate_Mel on February 13, 2010, 10:28:35 AM

Does anybody collect these?  They are very rarely mentioned on these boards.  If you've got them, show us what you've got. 

I always thought collecting these would be too much like stamp collecting.  But I picked up these lcs from "The Deep" last week from MPBid.

I'm thinking about adding a section somewhere for other forms of movie paper and movie-related collectibles like lobbies.  For now, I'll pin this topic.  I'm actually in the process of scanning my collection of of lobbies which is small but meaningful to me.  I only collect lobbies for movies that I particularly love or for movies that have a particular meaning to me.  I'll post later on, the first being my set for Big Fish.

I'm like Holiday, I don't collect Lobby Cards in general but I do have this set as I am a big Kill Bill fan as well as a QT fan in general. I thought the choices of scenes on the Thai cards were a lot better than most of the other countries. I'll have to get a picture of vol. 1 set and add it to my site and post it up here.

It has never been a big collecting habit of mine, but for some reasons (probably getting Spielberg related ones), I've built a little collection over time.

Come off it T!  I clicked on the link to your "little" section of lobbies... The first thing I noticed is how teenie tiny the scroll bar was!  Little my ass... that page goes on for miles.  ;D

Yeah, but most of it is worthless shit.  The good ones are the Hitchcock ones at the bottom, of which I only have a handful.  Some people have full sets of these, and that's REAL collecting, IMHO.  Again, collecting is always relative, and the grass is always greener.  WAY greener.

I collect posters of all sizes and many different countries
so I have lots of lobby cards

they generally fall into just a few categories:

1) Raymond Chandler - films adapted from or adapted by
2) Fritz Lang
3) Ray Harryhausen
4) Film Noir
5) Douglas Fairbanks sr
6) certain classics. For instance, I collect a couple of 1930s Joan Crawford films (Rain, Last of Mrs Cheney), this week I won a Fatty Arbuckle lc from Bruce (the one where he's feeding a banana to his maid.. too funny), Ronald Colman
7) Las Vegas and Gambling images

I'll post some pics when I have a chance later today maybe

Living in the U.K. our most popular lobby card is the Front of House still, which are 10" x 8", so that is what I mainly collected.

These are some of my most rare. They are from the first release duering the war, as can be seen from the "not printed on sensitised paper" pic. It's amazing they have lasted this long.

Title: Re: Lobby cards - show us yours
Post by: kovacs01 on February 14, 2010, 07:57:49 AM

Not exactly lobby cards, but close.  They are Japanese stills (I think) for one of my favorite films Twilight Samurai.  I am not sure if it is a complete set or not.

Everyone always knocks lobby cards for their "small size", but somehow millions of people manage to collect postage stamps, coins and baseball cards, all of which are MUCH smaller!

Also for the record, all my lobby cards, in the many hundreds, or more by now came from either Rich at MPB or Phil Edwards at cinemarts.com

at first when I started seriously collecting I didn't like them, but then... now they are my favourite format (after daybills)

thanks Chris

I still need one card from Murder My Sweet and Bruce sold it a month or two ago. i was under bidder & I really went very high trying to complete the set figuring I could cost average the set. But as I got closer to $400.. all I was doing was bidding against myself (next time) so I quit

Lobbies are pretty much all I collect at the moment, as 1sh are too expensive & hard to come by.  Haven't gotten around to taking my own pics, so here are the ones I pilfered from the sellers  ;D

I did, Rich.  I wanted at least one Arbuckle card for my collection (and who can stop at one).  I was thinking of going after both  in an effort to one day put the set together, but thought better of it.  Live to fight another day

I used to own lots of Lobby Cards, but have pared them down over the years.  These first three LCs from the original 1949 release of Mighty Joe Young are my favorites, especially the card where Joe is rescuing the child from the burning orphanage.  Of the eight original cards, these three are based on the pre-production sketches from the movie. I took them out of their frames for pics, but they came out kinda pale anyway...

These next three are Mexican LC's, slight larger than the Americans.  They are colorful and kinda cool...

Excuse my newbie-ness here, but which size lobbies are generally more rare...the 11x14 or 8x10 (US)?

Or is it just based on the title?

Title: Re: Lobby cards - show us yours
Post by: paul waines on April 09, 2010, 01:34:28 PM

A lot is based on the title, but as a rule of thumb 11x14's are more preferred, as they have some artwork around the picture. 10x8's are mostly stills with the title stuck on.

Warriors lobby, signed at the Chiller Theatre Expo.  Possibly my favourite film.  Going to frame it eventually when I decide which room to put my signed pics and posters in without it looking like a wall display from a theme bar.

Jeezum crow, Schan...what happened?
Was one of the aforementioned lobbies on your watch list?

haha, there were 8 people in my room last night, 7 of whom were drunk.  Obviously one of them is a joker, but I have no idea which one it was.  None of that makes much sense anyway.

I won the 7 Card stud event at Amarillo Slim's very first Super Bowl of Poker in 1979!

I "only" won $27,000, but it was a life-changing event for me, because I used the money to open a flower shop with my then girlfriend, and even though I closed it a year later, it showed me that there was a better life waiting for me OUTSIDE of poker, and two years later, with my winning of the 7 card Razz event at the World Series of Poker, and I left Vegas and I have barely played a hand of poker for 25 years.

I intend to return to the World Series of Poker next year (the 30th anniversary of my winning) and win the 7 card Razz event again, and be the "George Foreman of Poker"! Anyone want a piece of my action?

Nope. I was never a no limit player (high stakes no limit is a cheater's paradise, then and now), so it doesn't surprise me.

Raplh was a heavy coke user.. he would hang out with 2-3 babes and they would coke up all night and then he would play.. He won 3 years in a row the main event.. Well, his coke use brought down his house.. he lost the mill that was in his family for 3 generations and eventually disappeared. About 20 years ago, he was discovered living on the streets of LA. He didn't even have a pair of shoes. About 5 years later, he was disvovered dead on the streets of LA

Thanks. I am glad to see others enjoy Lobby Card collecting. I am a huge fan of Robot Monster. This is an original still, not a lobby card, but I'd like to show it here. The still is signed by both George Barrows and Claudia

Would LOVE to find one of these, especially since the scene depicted wasnt shown this way in the film. In the film, only the mummy's hand, shot in close up, is seen reaching for the scroll.

Oh man who wouldn't Jeff?!

I think, overall, Mummy paper is even rarer than Dracula and Frankenstein...

Jeff, I sold one of those last year.
I was fortunate enough to have both that and the sarcophagus card at nearly the same time.

Why would anyone sell that Card, or more importantly, Why would anyone sell that card!!

Because they purchased a title card? (http://boards.collectors-society.com/images/graemlins/default/confused-smiley-013.gif)

Didn't you want both, or was it financial. If I had the funds, I would need the set. :)

Lovely examples of Clint lobby cards there Matt.

Superb.

Title: a few of mine, crime related lobbies.
Post by: Ari on March 21, 2011, 04:57:40 AM

I love Lobby cards, I like to flick through them, see stars of the past, names that slowly are being forgotten. I keep mine in folders, loosely in separated into genres. Heres the Crime folder.
Coming soon, Adventure/Island folder, War, Western, and if your good, Horror/Sci Fi.
PS- as you can see I don't go for big ticket items (no money) but i still enjoy the B graders a LOT.

Thats why I love Lobbies, whack em in a frame and enjoy them, Cheap and easy.
And a lot of NON collectors seem to like them, I sell them at markets, and people come and are amazed. Especially when you "teach" them how to date them, they think they have struck gold. a 50+ year old poster for $10? (or whatever). I tell them a local shop that has frames for $4 that fit them, and they are hooked. So spreading the love of movie posters, one lobby card at a time ;)

Managed to locate these last week. Not a full set, but still 5 of them. They are very obscure as they are from the first U.K. release in 42, and have the "H" cert on them....

Paul, what a great and seemingly rare series.  clap clap  The image of the clay covered Monster, coming down the hillside to Ygor, is dramatic.

I need to watch this film again... its been a long while, since reviewing Chaney as the Monster.

THE HAND I really dont like, I put them for sale in my market stall and each time get cheaper, one day Ill give them away I am sure.
Dont like the Jaws ones either, or Old Dracula much.

They are some of the weaker cards, but still Jollyfine. Old Dracula, called Vampira over here, it's a great British romp, I was talking to Jenny Linden two weeks ago, I wish I'd mentioned this film now...

I think you are being WAY too hard on some of these! Even the least of them have some real charm, and they can be purchased for far less than the cost of a repro.

Grief, there are some lovely cards there.

I would love to offer some cards for perusal, but all I have are the commonly seen US and UK Bond cards - all ~450 of 'em.  The ones on show here are some real oddities and rarities.

Splendid stuff.

I have a thing for musicals, so I thought I'd post a few samples from my music related lobbies.  Please be gentle, as it is obvious that i need to work on getting a photo stand.  Most of these are representative cards from sets.

And then 3 from Singing in the rain.  First is delux first release, second is from That's Entertainment set and the last one is from the 62 re-release.  MGM musical re-releases were all poor quality monochrome in different tints.  The red is the worst and tough to photograph.

Recently picked these up, They are the U.K. first release F.O.H. stills for the Mummy's Ghost. Very scarce, note the "H" cert on them. There is only 6 of the 8, but it's exceedingly difficult to get hold of any.

Do also note that it says Universal International, as the film wasn't released in the U.K. until Jan 1947, 1944 in the U.S.

AWESOME pickups Paul (particularly the Mummy's Ghost FOH)! 

So are the "Isle of the Dead" cards considered Karloffs or Lewtons? ;)

I think you are safe either way ;) 

But here's another wrinkle - what about "The Body Snatcher"?  Is it a Karloff, a Lewton or a Lugosi?!   Boggles the mind!   mesmrized

Because of the outstanding performance Karloff gives, it's most definitely a Karloff.  And one of his best films ever.

I think Lugosi steals Son of Frankenstein from William Henry Pratt (Franky really doesn't do much in that film).  And of course Bela gets the better of Boris in both the Raven and more menacingly in the Black Cat (skinned alive anyone?). 

So maybe Karloff is 1 and Lugosi is 1A...

Points well take, Chris.
Ygor of the Broken Neck did steal SON (no mean feat as you say) and he did have a field day in THE RAVEN and BLACK CAT.
But Karloff...well, he's the King.  wynk

Post by: paul waines on June 11, 2011, 01:34:35 PM

You'll get no Argument from me on those Chris, Bela was excellent in "Son of", and without a doubt stole the film, closely followed by Atwill...  The Raven and Black Cat..... I like Boris and Bela too much to split them in these, though Bela may just pip the Raven... listen for Boris's Frankenstein Monster Growl as he shoots the Mirrors in the Raven, Quite amusing.

Now this is really interesting, as I didn't know these existed!! 

These have the "H"cert, so you would think first release, but No, an Eros release...!
GFD released the film first in the 40's, most likely 1942, but Eros must have re-released it in as far as I can make out 1947.
and again in the 50's, and Rank in  the 60's......So, anyone got the Quad from the 47 release....?or even a pic of it.

something like Mad Movies, but the footage has never been seen since....why?...anyone, Ted....

These are my best cards, although I have a lot more. The blue snipe is the Australian rating advice. All are for sale.
It can be a lot of fun hunting down the individual cards to make up a full set. Pretty affordable compared to posters as well, and they're so easy to store and display. Gotta love that compared to one sheets!
Lobbies are good stuff!

Yes, they are special. You can imagine my surprise when they turned up at the bottom of a job lot. It was one of those days most of us only dream of!!  :D
Uni Horror is still king, but I think the other genres are catching up. Good interest in early crime / gangster stuff.

Here are some House of Drac & Marx Bros that were in the same lot. All sold though.

Picked this up from Rich last week.  1922R of a 1915 Chaplin short subject.  It has a fairly large number of pinholes, but in nice shape other than that, considering it is 90 years old.

Chaplin is fantastic in every time period

one of my favorite films is the Pawnshop.. fantastic film making, and Chaplin was also very prescient in his concepts. Obama could give Chaplin's soliloquy from the end of the Great Dictator right now and the words still have exactly the same meaning and are also very timely to today's problems..
a brilliant film maker to whom that cross-dresser J. Edgar Hoover did irreparable damage

I have just the two LCs of Chaplin both from the same movie, this being my favourite. This image was used in later poster versions for the movie, it's a lovely image - there is no intention to repair it, I'd like to frame it but the wife and I can't agree on that, so she wins. That said there is a 3sheet coming up on HA and she just loves that.

Good call - daybills come first with me too. But how hard is the early stuff to come by? Sheesh ... Only about 10 million Aussies around then, and we were spread over a large area. Not only that, but the film companies demanded the posters back!!  :o
I got stuff here with records like library cards on front. You signed for it as cinema owner, then signed it out again to next in line. Mad!!

Spielberg, Lucas, Carpenter, Cameron, De Palma, Tarantino etc, they all grew out of this >>

My only Lobby card  :-[

(http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r26/3nero/posters/DSC01822.jpg)

I doubt it's very special, but i removed it myself from the paybox of a closed down cinema back in the late '90s

the rear door of the cab has a faded stamp with the cinemas name on it, The old lady who owned the place brought me upstairs to the poster room where there was thousands more cards and posters......I only took a handfull of posters and this card because my $!^€£ of a girlfriend at the time wouldn't let me take them all  >:(

Next time i was back in that town the cinema was an empty lot  :'(

And then 3 from Singing in the rain.  First is delux first release, second is from That's Entertainment set and the last one is from the 62 re-release.  MGM musical re-releases were all poor quality monochrome in different tints.  The red is the worst and tough to photograph.

Some lobbies recently and in times past obtained.  All Saint related.

I do have the Kilmer abomination set, plus an alternate UK set for each of the Moore films…Not sure if there is a call for those though.

As in the Wants thread, I am looking for other '40s Saint cards...

Cheers.

Thank you!!  My primary focus in 2013 was on Keaton and Chaplin lobby cards...best condition possible

I linked the wrong College lobby card picture...this is the actual card I acquired from a friend... who purchased it from Heritage in 2005...

It's almost perfect...Heritage said "Finding cards in any better condition than this would be a real miracle. Two minor pinholes are the only flaws. Near Mint."

I concur

A really under rated film for sure.  If Cushing or Lee had the Woffit role it would be considered a classic.

I remember seeing Blood of the Vampire as a child at a drive-in double feature where it was the undercard.
Me, my brothers and mom and dad -- innocent routine family outing to see some 'monster movies.'
I was probably 6-7 years old.
Jeezum crow, that movie scared me shitless.
Gave me nightmares and a feeling of dread that lasted for years.

Great card, Lyn.

those are all nice cards shown above. The Chaplin, Amos & L/H cards particularly

I tried to get one of those Alices last week.. but was out

some more gambling. notice the roulette wheel is similar. This type of wheel is viewable in loads of movies. I could do a book on this wheel alone.
an antique auction not 3 blocks from my home had a table with the same type of wheel. I was all over it looking to see if there was a film company or prop company identifiction on it. The auctioneer was laughing as I was even on my back under the table looking for marks.. Went for big bucks anyway, so I was outside that envelope also

it's a common wheel Jay. I wouldn't be surprised to see one with the same spindle or same surface in use down at the older casinos here in town.
Also, the wheel in different films can be seen on different table setups and while a wheel is not "married" to a particular table (they can all be removed for examination, recalibration etc) I would suspect if we see the same type wheel on the same table in some films, that they would be the very same unit. I also wouldn't be surprised if various prop rental companies had their own, which would be why they come on different tables.

So here it is.. and away we go!  :D

If this sub-category sits and languishes here on its own, the main LC thread can always be put back in with the Movie Posters, and this section removed.

I mean I generally like original hand painted art used instead of photos for posters and lobby cards.  I don't care if they're worth anything (though it's nice when they are ;) ), I just like a painted image.  I also dig intense and varied color and the Mexican lobbies and Thai movie posters I collect certainly deliver it.

Gotcha.. i also prefer OS or other poster imagery that is artwork, rather than cut 'n pasted photos assembled on a poster. There's just something about that kind of imagery that stands out, especially if it is spot on and the actors or characters are recognizable, and are good representations of the real thing.

**The whole LC section can be removed and the main thread returned to the poster section, if this one is seemingly dead in the water. It was created because there were a number of people that had posted that it would be nice to have a LC area, separate from posters.

I'm happy to remove it, and put the sub-threads back into "Posters" as I first mentioned, when this area was created, if this is pretty much an unused section.

Latest score.  Dead cards but colorful and it is a Tod Browning/Lionel Barrymore epic  ;D.

I need to watch this again.

I don't think I have seen it since I was a kid. And me always enjoys watching some Browning... Barrymore, too, for that matter!  ;)

Just a general question to the group..

If a set of Lobby Cards has been laminated... and is from a well known or iconic film, what kind of value (collectible or otherwise) do they have, if any, once this process has been done to them?

The reason I ask, is I found someone offering a set from JAWS, that had been "wrapped in plastic" this way, and the seller is asking $150.00.

Is that price reasonable? High? Low?

I know there has been wide discussion on laminating posters... and that it hurts their value terribly. But didnt know if it was the same for LC.

Are you sure they were laminated?  There was a group a couple of years ago that was grading and then sealing lobbies in plastic, they same way they do comics and sports cards.  That is reversible as they only seal the plastic around the card, and not the card itself.

Hi jay.. no, the set this guy has is laminated. I just emailed him, tho, to verify, in case he is using the wrong term and meant 'slabbed.'

But if they are truly laminated... what say you then?

Indeed, Paul. This seller emailed me, trying to say that lamination and it not being looked up as a proper way to conserve items (and not devaluing them) is all nothing but rumor and hearsay.

Here is the email that i received when i explained that the topic has been discussed by collectors and dealers alike:

Please show some logic of why the rumor was started.
How does it (laminating) affect the colors?
How does it affect intrinsic value?
Does it affect its way to be displayed?
Is it not true that an artifact that's been encapsulated in a medium is to stop acid decomposition, fading, spoilage and yellowing?

Who made up these rules and when? Is a poster forum of so-called collectors the authority on posters? (in the law that's called hearsay).

What evidence could be used in court to prove value consensus alone? Or the professional opinion of a seller of many years?
What does preservation of documents vs collectibility have to do with poster collecting and storage?


As can be seen, he got a little defensive, sounding as tho lamination is equivalent to linen backing, slabbing or other preservation methods, and doent not affect an item's value, in the least.  :-\

Post by: erik1925 on October 02, 2014, 07:21:04 PM

This guy actually just emailed me again, comparing the lamination on a lobby card to a slip cover used on a sofa. I had written prior and used a comparison of doing something damaging to an object (in my case, I used as my example an antique piece of furniture and how refinishing it could devalue it, and, depending on its rarity, that could be by as much as 50%-or even more) to the lamination of a card, since trying to remove that plastic coating would destroy or heavily damage the card inside.

I received this in response: and it is copied here, exactly as written. It may take a while to read it.. so get ready:

"exactly.. and Galielao was put in jail when he diagreed with the chruch and all the in the know peopelateh time when heargued the world was Round,,, sometimes Jeff if you think outof he box you use your minds to consider more then stayed old school thoughts,,,, as k anyone  to explain why,,, a piecc of furniture you could say because the original varnish allowed it in the original manufactured state,,, a  slipcover ona couch.. or lamination merely encapsules,,, albiet not reversable as the paper is fused the color and stability is all intact...it this was a documnent like the dec of Independence , etc just having a copy in pristine shape would be a blessing... and with slabbed books and all they are bsically also sealed just they could be released but none plans to for any reason. I find the entire mindset " emporers clothing".. syndrome and disagree after I considered thes items as it is I did make them 1/2 of the 355 that was solda few days ago on ebay,,, and if someone framed them ,, they are genuine also and well protected... as to value thats all up to supply and demand.. I would thinkj my being in the biz 40 years should have some merit and I disaggree although I do know that much of the info spread on repos and various things is hearsay and ive never heard a decent explanation ofwhy the itme would be subtracted value and stillhave not from you other then saying everyone else says so,,, who are they?? and where did they get this idea from..?where did it eminate?? is ther a respect movie poster GURU specialist that everyone agress with>>?? who is it I wantto eet him..

fact is NONOE knows it all.. most disagere on dates and issues and all kinds of stuff.  and also even when I ak bruce or learn about posters they disagree with them.. and mostare not even old enogh to ben around when I started in 1977... so consider that"

There will be no changing this guy's mind, that's for sure.  :-\

If they're laminated in such a way that only the edges are sealed and they could be cut open - no real issue.

However, that is highly unlikely to be the case.  This is just an example of a seller being defensive in an attempt to get top value for an item.

But it is a good question about lamination.  One I have asked before.  If the poster/lobby inside is basically permanently preserved on a visual level what does that say about the process?

That said, I would never actively seek out laminated paper but I can see how a persuasive argument could be built to illustrate lamination as being not such a bad thing...

That method would not be a bad at all, I agree Chris, as it would be like a variation of slabbing, where the card itself is not permanently attached to the plastic.

Re: lamination..Yes the item is preserved and as I was explaining to this seller, it isnt looked on favorably and actually devalues an item because it has been forevever "coated" with a sheet of permanent plastic. Yes, it has been preserved, and will look nice, but dealers and collectors both do not attribute the same value to items that this has been done to. This seller didnt want to hear that.. and as you noted, too, got defensive, talking about Galilleo and the Church, as comparisons of opinion.  :-\

It seems to come down to the fact that lamination is a permanent process. Reversing that is usually not possible, and dealers, sellers and collectors alike place more value on 'naked' items, in this case. Maybe, one day, that opinion or POV may change. That remains to be seen.

Post by: jayn_j on October 02, 2014, 11:04:45 PM

I think we are also ignoring the fact that laminating is not always permanent.  My laminated name badge for work is peeling.  I have seen laminated items develop bubbles over time and also discoloration around the edges.

Title: Re: Lobby cards - show us yours
Post by: Filmlobbycards on October 02, 2014, 11:21:04 PM

Tom is a bit wacky and he always refers to Forry and his laminating of expensive uni-horror....it's not an endorsement....I have some experience to share...

1. It been my take  that lamination has been a cavalier effort from about the time collectors could personally laminate their posters cheaply....this means that there was never any consistency in the quality of laminates which started as cheap industrial products....the quality of which varies widely depending on the manufacturer... like collector card sleeves from the 70's and 80's... first they were highly volatile and when heated enough (like in a hot car) they would suck the colors into the plastic and leave them faded and sticky..they transferred strong plastic smells...as a side note any excessive heat used on fragile aging paper fibers is not considered archival...museums clearly found this out after heat based adhesives were found to be non reversible and damaging..at a molecular level in the fibers...they adjusted the concise definition of archival preservation which is directly related to the reversal of the process used...if you can't reverse the process it isn't really archival...it has changed forever the nature of the artifact

2. As soon as shrink wrapping became common...acid free materials...ph neutral...lingen free... were exclusively made and laminating virtually ceased for collectibles...anything you find laminated is usually older and again probably unstable...

The question is why would you want to buy laminated cards from a title that you can easily find without lamination and probably nearly unused?

A set of 1972 "Way of Dragon" B Lee lobbys are on ebay but way overpriced (pun intended , lulz).......they're faded and feature those holes they used to drill in the corners......had they been of Swiss origin I wouldn't minded the holes but these are the Hong Kong country of origin ones and thus , imo , devalued.

haha I didn't look.
Why would they be rare when other stuff from the same era, presumably with smaller releases can be reasonably (or more) common?, or is it because its desirable and people don't sell?
Or did BL beat the shit out of them all?
anyway just thinking out loud really, but Ill remember if i see anything.

Are you referring to early 70s material in general being plentiful?  Or early 70s Hong Kong material being plentiful?  IMO any early 70s HK material is rare. In fact, I would extend that to almost all HK material -- even more modern stuff like Wong Kar Wai and pre-Hollywood John Woo. It exists, it's just rare. So I'm sure there are 1st release HK BL posters floating around, but do to a combination of overall scarcity and the few that exist being locked up in collections they just don't seem to turn up for sale. I've actually found more HK posters being sold out of places like Australia, Thailand, Germany and Canada than out of Hong Kong proper.

So again, if you know any Aussie sellers with HK posters, please ping me :)

I didnt know that re HK, I have in my shed a shit load of nothing HK posters from 70's. Lots of crappy comedies and dramas etc that nobody wants, and some many examples of each title.
But nobody wants them. I just notice when there is demand, it seems to equate to rare, which doesnt make sense, but maybe my pile of shit is an oddity.

Of course pre-death items is a factor for Lee fans , they can be extremely difficult to find.......not just lobbys/posters but also mags where he is on the front cover. Chinese/Singapore newspapers where he's on the front cover can fetch 500$ or more. I've a mag which I've only seen for sale once in 16 yrs , fea a pre-release FoF ad.

("Enter" cards are an exception as those came out post-death , those too are virtually impossible to find......the white border ones , not the later re-issue black border ones)

I prefer complete sets, but for me it depends on the title.  Some titles, a couple of cards may be my only hope of collecting.  For example, I have several Singin' in the Rain cards.  Jumbo, delux, first release and a complete 62 RR.  I'd love to have a complete 53 LCS, but I've never run across one, and if I did, I expect it would be beyond my budget since the TC seems to go for $1200-2000 these days.

The problem is that I'm a completist, and if I bought a couple cards here or there, I'd go insane trying to get the rest.  I'd always be looking, and that's not something I need in my life right now.  For example, I own a few Hitchcock LCs that I bought a long time ago, and since I like my stuff in mint or close to mint condition, I haven't been able to buy the rest.  It's always with tears, fading or missing corners, which I absolutely hate.  So I said fuck it, I'll buy a set when I see one and be done with it.

The problem is that I'm a completist, and if I bought a couple cards here or there, I'd go insane trying to get the rest.  I'd always be looking, and that's not something I need in my life right now.  For example, I own a few Hitchcock LCs that I bought a long time ago, and since I like my stuff in mint or close to mint condition, I haven't been able to buy the rest.  It's always with tears, fading or missing corners, which I absolutely hate.  So I said fuck it, I'll buy a set when I see one and be done with it.

T

I understand, but there are several types of completist.  I want material from the classic musicals of the 40s and 50s.  Rich wants Chandler and gambling stuff.  Ideally, you get complete sets, but to me it is more important to have something from each title than to have everything from 1 title. YMMV (and does)

It's good that he doesn't collect Universal Horror (or early Japanese lobbies, or Marx Bros. or something). Can you imagine trying to buy those a set at a time?
LOL

That's why the majority is newer junk.

As of today, I have at least 1 item on 3,590 titles.  But it's true that I also have 70 items for 1 title.  In that vein, there are a few 40s and 50s titles that I will start collecting more seriously.  Nothing prior to that.  No interest.  It's also true that I go more by directors and stars than by movies.  

And yes, absolutely zero interest in Japanese lobbies, so I'm safe :))

My problem is lobby cards don't speak to me, they YELL ;D. The hunt is always on to complete a set.  Top of my list is the still needed one scene card from the '38 release of DRACULA to finish off that release.  May I live long and prosper enough to attain that goal. I do believe finding complete sets of Uni horror is pretty much Mission Impossible now days.

I was looking at a set of LC being offered on the bay (from 1980) and noted that the size was described as 8 x 10 inches. I saw another of this same set that was the usual 11x14, so I wrote the seller and asked.

He wrote back, saying that in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, the NSS produced both sized cards, giving theaters an option.

Is his comment accurate? I thought I had read that LC (in recent decades) were 11x14.

I first saw these in the 80s, well before repros were a thing.  I've owned the 3 musketeer set since the late 80s.  If you look carefully, you will see that the NSS text is in a different place.  The union marks are also very small, but crisp.  Sometimes the scenes are different from the 11x14 as well.

P.S. also add Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Bull Durham to my collection.

Well, in the US, I thought that LCs were always 11x14.  And the sometimes incorrectly named Photo Sets were 10x8.  Some sellers call everything LCs, irrespective of size.

The Photo Sets are Front of House sets in the UK.

I was meaning, too, sets or cards Ive seen listed for sale from films from the 1920s or 30s, where the described size was 8x10.

Back then, weren't all (original) LC produced in the larger format only?

If so, then those 8x10 cards being listed and sold would probably be repros.

I don't think there were any hard standards before the late 30s and the establishment of the NSS.  Yes, there were common practices, but I also see a fair number of exceptions float by.

Wiki.

Front of House

"In the performing arts, front of house is the portion of a performance venue that is open to the public. In theatre and live music venues, it is the auditorium and foyer, as opposed to the stage and backstage areas. In theatre, the front of house manager is responsible for ticket sales, refreshments, and making sure auditorium is set out properly."

Anyone know how much packaging EMP uses for a set of 8 LCs...do they each have a sheet of kraft paper in between, do they come in an oversized super strong cardboard box or an envelope?  Basically, is it worthwhile for me given the brutal shipping rates for a set of 8 worthless cards?

Title: Re: Lobby cards - show us yours
Post by: jayn_j on March 10, 2016, 03:25:58 PM

An EMP lobby set will be packaged as follows.

the cards are packed in a single plastic envelope.  They are not separated.
The envelope is sealed with masking tape and then the long edge is folded over and taped so the cards cannot move within the envelope.
The envelope is taped to a very stiff and heavy piece of oversized backing board with reinforced packing tape.
The backing board is placed between two corrugated pieces of cardboard the same size.
The two pieces are taped together on all four sides with reinforced packing tape
This is then placed inside a heavy mailing flat.
The flat is sealed with reinforced brown tape on all edges.

It generally takes me about 5 minutes to extract the card(s).  I couldn't bend the flat over my knee.  In 25 years of buying from Bruce, I have had 2 instances of tubes being damaged.  I have never had one of his flat packages damaged.  Bruce is the gold standard.

I received a set of LC within the last week (from another seller) that were very well packaged.

The card set was placed in a plastic envelope, which was then taped & sandwiched between 2 pieces of sturdy cardboard. This was then placed in a second layer of cardboard which was wrapped and sealed.

I was charged $7.60 to have this mailed to me, and it was sent 2 Day Priority.  thumbsup.gif

All true except for the sleeve.  They used to send a set of cards in its own separate 11x14in (or 8x10in) protective sleeve but stopped doing so a year ago.  I usually buy 10 to 20 sets every time Emovie has an auction up, and they are now sent in a stack of 80 to 160 cards.  No more set by set lobby card sleeves.  Bruce is cheap.

Actually, it is not "cheapness" that forced this change. It was the obsessive/compulsive collectors who wept rivers over the massive waste of all those extra bags. I got tired of reading those complaints (and the bags are not archival anyway, so they should be discarded upon receipt), so I ditched the "one bag per set" rule, and went to "one bag per order", and we have had no more complaints (either over "waste" or damage).

It is interesting to note that the ONLY people who have anything bad to say about my business (either buying or consigning) are those who either never deal with us or those who virtually never deal with us. I listen to all suggestions and complaints from regular customers or consignors. I do not listen at all to complaints from non-customers/non-consignors.

Well, I like those sleeves, Bruce.  It was much easier to file my cards.  I always have a reserve of sleeves to use, but I really enjoyed getting a set of cards already wrapped for filing.  I personally don't care about the archival whatever.  I've had cards in those sleeves for years and years and they look as good today as they did back then.

Thanks for responding.  Looks like in my over zealousness I'm now the high bidder on a set, so looks like I'll know soon enough how much shipping is gonna hurt. Of course getting damaged cards would hurt more that's for sure.  

If you want, we will put them in an envelope a single cardboard, or with NO cardboard at all. As long as you accept responsibility for any damage.

We are very agreeable, and go out of our way to make customers happy.

It generally takes me about 5 minutes to extract the card(s).

It's that damn unbreakable tape.  You can hit that stuff with a flamethrower and I don't think it would unstick.  I've spent many expletive filled minutes myself trying to extract the items inside as my box cutter fu is no good and I'm wary of accidentally cutting the posters with an inadvertent slip.  That's why I prefer just using the blue painters tape, it keeps everything in place but doesn't seal it up like King Tut's tomb. 

Way better than the alternative though and the EMP packaging is superlative, in spite of the adamantium tape.

Ok.  But in the UK, definitely FoH Sets.

Thank goodness there wasn't a third size in evidence as they'd probably be called Ticket Purchase and Concession Stand sets.

Yes it is. Why not ask us to put each card in a separate bag? Or each set in a mylar sleeve?

If we were like other auctions, and we auctioned a few sets at a time, or a bunch of sets every six months, we might be able to do things exactly the way each customer wants it.

But the ONLY way to maintain our massive output of auctions is to have an exact system we follow each time. The vast majority of collectors are able to accept this reality, and we thank them for their understanding.

We DO "make it look easy" to run 3,000 unique auctions a week, but it is anything but!

we've been trying to figure out even better ways to ship lobby cards and I thought I would use this order to Australia for my pilot test and see what materials are best used to get a lobby card there safely

(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_001.jpg)

so I figured the first thing to do was put it into a bag, with a board
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_002.jpg)

I wasn't sure if I felt that was secure enough, so I put that into a larger bag
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_003.jpg)

into a larger bag
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_004.jpg)

into a larger bag
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_005.jpg)

into a larger bag
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_007.jpg)

then I taped them all up into a small package
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_008.jpg)

priority mail box
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_009.jpg)

into a box it goes
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_010.jpg)

nice and neat
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_011.jpg)

but I still wasn't certain it would be safe, going around the globe, so I put into a larger box
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_012.jpg)
(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/packaging__lc_013.jpg)

fits well.. add peanuts

Perfect!

maybe I can do one more thing!

well, look, if you can mail 8 lobby cards in one bag, why not one lobby card in 8 bags?

I printed those out after I shot the photos

here's another system we're considering

even though I've only have 2 damaged packages in 5 years and no lost packages, I still get inquiries from Chicken Little who is always afraid his purchase will not get to him safely

so again, if a lobby card set can be sent one lobby card per bag in 8 bags, how about one lobby card, in 8 segments in 8 bags!

(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/light-bulb.jpg)

so, I had this other order ready to go to Chic and this was my solution

(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/lobbycards2029_010.jpg)

(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/lobbycards2029_011.jpg)

(http://www.comicbidz.com/cgc_setsale/apf/lobbycards2029_012.jpg)

so each segment goes into it's own bag with board and each bagged/boarded segment will ship separately, each in it's own package, so that he is guaranteed to at least get one segment - if not all eight - and everyone will be happy

I also used to start all auctions at 99 cents and now they start at $1. Do you want a rebate of one cent times however many auctions you won?

How about if I look up the number of sets you won and send you that many bags?

Thanks jay.. it is a pretty cool set. And the only full set of LC that I own.

When did it become more common practice in more modern sets, where there was no longer an "official," title card, like was done in earlier years?

Not having ever owned a full set, I was surprised that card #1 looks the same (in style) as card #8.

The title card appears to have disappeared in the early to mid 1960s.  It also appears to have been somewhat gradual as I have some mixture in the early part of the decade.  But there do seem to be exceptions.  I did a search on movie and sorted by release date.  The search shows stuff from late 90's and 2000s, such as Sixth Sense, Phantom Menace, Starship Troopers, Disney's Hunchback, and so on.  Looks like a couple of titles every year until US cards became very uncommon.

That's too bad that it was decided to phase out actual title cards. Those really seemed to give a sense of the word, "set" and I've always enjoyed the LC images from the 1920s, '30s, '40s etc where the title was splashed boldly on the TC, along with other production and actor credits as well as often having really nice (and different) artwork.

Not always (is anything absolute?), but...
The most common artwork for the title card was a reduced size version of the half sheet.  Probably 50% of the title cards I have handled follow this.

Jay is right of course - but this is for later 40s & through the 1960s era.

in the 30s-40s, most companies did have a different formation of art for the tc & hs(s), but at some point, the A style HS started becoming the same image as the TC with it's common matches being in the 1950s

Grief, I learnt today that there were such things as Linen Lobby cards...!

Not that this is of news to the populace here.  Just that I was passing through emp's single collector lobby card sale and came across this.

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=5134604

A quick search on LAMP elicited very little.  If anyone had a link to something about these, please feel free to pop it up.  Searches tend to provide linen backing services.

Title: Re: Lobby cards - show us yours
Post by: Starling on July 26, 2018, 11:41:41 AM

The one thing I can add is that the linen paper stock (especially the stock Warners used) browns HORRIBLY with age.  I bet they looked gorgeous when first printed, but I can't stand how they look in the present.  It really detracts from the card.  The linen stock used in the inserts and half-sheets seems to brown somewhat less.

Title: Re: Lobby cards - show us yours
Post by: cabmangray on July 27, 2018, 02:16:27 PM

Simon - Warner Bros. made linen lobby card sets, inserts and 22x28's for a couple of years. I guess the idea behind using this kind of stock was because the posters had a pebbled finish and looked much nicer and more special than the  lobby cards and posters printed on normal flat stock. And as Starling mentioned, they brown badly with age, turning what was probably off white paper stock sepia brown. Folded linen inserts and 22x28's can really take a beating and will sustain a lot of damage. The fold lines on linen posters are the worst; the finish can chip off and show the under layer of paper. The lobby cards can look nice, but have to be handled carefully because they can chip, scuff, tear and start to look bad without much effort.

I have a few WB Torchy Blane series lobby cards that have browned.  Bruce listed them as having significant defects.  I, on the other hand, like them as I would a toned coin.

they made then from 1936 to 1943 or 44
the reason these brown easily is because the finishing, after the machine stamps the pebbled surface (yes, these were printed flat and pressed to get the surfacing) is a type of varnish, which has a chemical reaction with oxygen

God I love this place.  Thanks for that fellas, and also for not thinking I am a complete ingenue, late to the ball etc...

Can linen products be conserved with linen / paper backing in the normal way with paper posters?  Can the fold lines be made to disappear?  Can the 'browning' be corrected with bleaching baths etc a la paper posters?

I am wondering if there is life after death for these products in the same way there is for paper posters...

Thanks chaps.

They have been making linen postcards for decades too. 

Vintage Linen Postcards. Linen postcards were printed in the United States from the 1930s until the 1950s. Contrary to their descriptive name, linen postcards were not made out of linen, which is derived from flax, but they did have a high rag content, which means the paper contained a certain amount of cotton fiber.
