Dr Bill's Lobby Card Obsession
« on: December 10, 2016, 02:52:16 AM »
So it begins. And what better way than two of my favorite things - Winona and Dracula. A 12 card German set of Brom Stoker's Dracula.

Awesome first post and super nice cards. Congratulations! That WAS a good movie. Gary Oldman is amazing. The only drawback was Keanu Reeves (fingernails on a chalkboard describes his performance to me. He was just AWFUL,..and was the ONLY ONE who was bad.)  Thank you for sharing.

Well, I can ignore Keanu if I can watch Winona in that see-through nightie. I've had a thing for her ever since Edward Scissorhands. Then she shows up in Dracula, Alien Resurrection, Star Trek - well I think it was just meant to be...

Great set of cards, Dr. Bill.
A fine film on all levels (except for Keanu, I agree) and your cards look minty.
Well done.

Thanks. They do look mint for the most part, even better in person than the posted images. As an added bonus, I'm meeting some great sellers.

Here's the US 11x14 Herzog Nosferatu 8 set, minty fresh. My all-time favorite vampire movie, an exciting find.

I really enjoyed looking at those cards in detail, thank you for sharing.

They really reminded me how excellent the art direction/production/photography is in those two films. So atmospheric and beautifully put together.

Thanks guys. This Nosferatu film is really haunting - the cinematography, the creepy music, and the best Dracula since the 1932 Dreyer version. Couldn't believe what I found when I first saw it - and it's good quality res in 11x14 size. My favorite set to date.

Well, not exactly. In my newby ebullience, the first cards I bought were four of the US set, mint, offered at a great price. Now finding the remaining four in mint condition hasn't been easy without buying an entire new full set. Lesson learned.









Unfortunately, the quality of this set isn't the best.

It's one of my favorite sets! I decided to get the French set which are a little bigger but I love them.

Yep - love the images and the film - I wish someone had made a set with more scenes. I'll look for the French set - I had no idea they made a larger size. Must have...

Well, I don't really know if they're winners - I just liked them at first sight. It probably has a lot to do with my penchant for women of the '50s with big hair and big hearts. And Fellini.

Thanks - most are still in the mail. The Immortal Beloved set just arrived. We'll be traveling for two weeks to visit relatives, but I should have a big pile when I get back. Can't wait...
