This week on eBay, eMoviePoster is selling an amazing collection of horror/sci-fi/fantasy vintage 8x10 stills. Most of the stills from the 1950s on were obtained by the collector directly from a movie theater. Most of the earlier stills were purchased from the leading movie memorabilia stores in the 1960s and 1970s. All of the stills purchased from stores were sold as originals, and many of them have original notations on the back that would certainly seem to confirm that they are indeed original. We at eMoviePoster carefully examined every still, and believe every one we are selling is a genuine original vintage still! However, since we know there is no way you can know this for sure from looking at a digital image, be aware that we unconditionally guarantee every still we sell to vintage and from the year we say it is. If you purchase any stills, and after receiving them, have doubts as to their originality, simply return it within one week for a no questions asked refund! We have sold many thousands of stills on eBay in the past two years, and only a handful of them were ever returned because the buyer had any doubt. We stand behind every item we sell!
