Cool.

The thing is..with Dominique's image.. he could have used either an original or a RR image.. as all of the original, identifying text looks like it was photo shopped out (fold lines too), in order for him to make the cover image his own, unique advert.

Except that all the highlights have a nice crisp whiteness to them like the first printing.  The highlights on the re-release appear more yellow on both figures.

True..but the entire image could also have been color adjusted, sharpened and tweaked with too, for the cover art to look right for his catalog, once all the text, titling and fold lines were "erased."

And T's comment that it made the cover at all, was the main point and certainly noted.  ;)

I finally found some pieces that i have been searching for forever to find...and in an unlikely place...these were found in a storage unit with a bunch of Jackie Coogan material...he was THE KID...and later Uncle Fester on the Adam's Family ...of course these cards fill an important hole in my Chaplin Collection...enjoy!!

Thanks Kids...glad you like them!!....I got so lucky on all of these...I made a low (but fair) offer on the entire 8 card Chaplin set...off of Ebay..which is risky...but the story seemed to be legit..and they are marked from the Strand theatre in Pennsylvania!! The lady who passed owned a lot of personal items from Jackie Coogan and had some sort of close relations to him...UNCLE FESTER!! The condition of these cards is..well  pretty amazing...the last set of these sold at a Heritage Comic Auction in 2005..they were pretty beat up and then Bruce auctioned them one card at a time later..but these are in way better condition..

The 1936 Revolt of the Zombie cards are probably rarer..they came from a little Book store in Texas...it was a sort of follow up to White Zombie...Halperin was a shitty producer but it uses Angkor Wat in Cambodia as a scenic backdrop..it was a failure so the original release material is scarce...

Very nice Revolt of the Zombies!  I don't think I've ever seen original release material for that - at all.

It actually took me some research to find that they were indeed original release...there are plenty of 1947 RR posters....I have never seen any other original release material either...I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy the other cards...oddly enough the other cards were really insignificant...these were far and away the best 3..and I love the female character in the diaphanous nighty...

Thank you sir...what is interesting...at least to me...is that The Kid was Chaplin's first feature length film..it was hugely successful and there were tons of great posters created...but all of the other First National Chaplin film ephemera is much more obtainable...there are plenty of Sunnyside, Payday and A Dog's Life cards floating around...but material from The Kid..which is an essential Chaplin film for collectors.....is nearly impossible to find...and especially in this condition... there was presumably a huge amount of posters printed....and I was wrong Heritage sold a set in 2003...and Bruce auctioned the exact same cards in 2004 individually

First rate cards, I'm not a huge fan of Chaplin, but would buy those, the Zombie cards are right up my street, well done for getting those, they are excellent.
It's more than a Hobby...

Please say it isnt so! You had the opp to buy other cards to have the complete set (or close to it) and you passed on them? Insignificant images or not... they are part of that set as a whole!  crying

Quick Tait, get back there and snag those others.... run, run, run!!!  ;D

"Insignificant"...that is my safe word/therapy mechanism for fucking up...I did try and get the others after I realized what they were and they were gone...there were 6 total I think...I wasn't entirely sure they were original at first ...so I waited for them to arrive in Hawaii..when they got here I realized what they were and then the others were already gone...But to put it into context I was negotiating the Chaplin deal at the same time...they were about to be listed individually and I wanted to keep them together and I had to move quick...so I saved one historic set of lobby cards and bastardized the other...I was also selling some cards...and overseeing some epic material for my gallery..I'm the Director of Antique Maps & Prints so I was a busy boy...I was also watching those Metropolis trimmed cards too...and I let them pass....there is something wrong with me faint2.gif nono hitself
