After that article comes out, you know that the Berwickites are going to tear the hell out of their attics looking for more stacks!

The only new tidbit I learned is that forty posters were in the stacks and seven were unsalvageable (wonder which posters were unsalvageable?).

Grey mentioned they only had 1/2 of the poster for White Hell of Pitz Palu and I think that one of the Millie posters was not usable.

I agree. One of them had a lot of mold on it. I don't think you can get rid of mold.

I'd take it in that condition and re-paint it myself.
What a great poster...

Well that would need to be in another "find" - and then I would have to eat crow because HA could have
another spectacular major auction...

Received my Heritage catalog - WITH DELIVERY CONFIRMATION!



If I don't buy anything, I won't be surprised to receive the following letter in two weeks:

Dear Mel:

We noticed you did not purchase ANYTHING from our signature auction.  Not even a lobby card!  Don't you feel guilty?  We sent you a freaking BRICK catalog and what do we get in return?  Nada. Nothing. Not even a bite. 

We KNOW you got that catalog.  Don't even PRETEND otherwise because delivery confirmation doesn't lie!

Well, let me tell you something pal.  We know where you live.  We know where you work.  We have ways of making you buy...... 

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

So don't disappoint us again, if you know what's good for you....

Sincerely

Grey Smith

Last time I checked you can pay $100 per year and they send you 4 quarterly auction catalogs and they include a $100 voucher you can spend in their auction, so it could work out to free catalogs if you can use the voucher

I doubt the $100 voucher would even cover their international shipping charges ;)

PM me if you want my catalogs after the auction for actual cost of mailing.  First come, first served.

UPDATED: Well, that offer didn't last long - gone in five minutes.  Some old school print people hanging around here....

Far less refined Ted - just like London vs. New York ;)
