About this very special collection of 52 WWI & WWII patriotic war posters
     Note that we were contacted by a consignor who had this WONDERFUL collection of posters, and we know that it would take many years for anyone to collect these posters one at a time, so we were happy to devote a special auction solely to these 52 posters! Note that some of the posters are linenbacked, and some are not, but this is always clearly marked on each auction (along with the size of each poster, because generally war posters came in three different sizes).
    Note that war posters were created for several purposes. Some are aimed at recruitment, some to promote buying "war bonds", some to motivate citizens one way or another, and some aimed at the members of the military themselves, to let them know that their country and its citizens are behind them. The U.S. government in particular made a huge number of such war posters in both World War I and World War II (often employing top illustrators of the day, including James Montgomery Flagg, who created the iconic "I Want You" Uncle Sam poster that was used in both World War I and World War II, but many other countries have created war posters for many other wars as well!
    Note that this collection contains 16 World War I posters (those posters are extremely rare, and they all will soon be 100 years old!), 35 World War II posters, plus 1 wonderful Russian poster from 1976 aimed at stopping the arms race! The collector who assembled the collection was trying to get the very finest of these posters, and he certainly got a large number of the best of them!
    If you are a poster collector of any sort, you certainly should consider adding at least ONE of these posters to your collection, because they are incredibly striking and everyone can relate to them. This is a rare opportunity to choose from 52 of the very best ones!

About the condition of these items
If an item is in less than very good condition, should you not bid on it? Of course not, as long as you are accepting of the defects the item has (or if you are willing to pay to have additional restoration performed)! The item that is graded "very good", but has as many minor defects as is allowed under the "very good" definition is only in SLIGHTLY better condition than the best of the "good to very good" items. So please take the time to look at the larger images of items that interest you, and see if the defects are the sort that you can "live with", or are willing to restore. Some of these items are EXTREMELY rare, and it may be years before you see them offered again!

KNOW THAT IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ONLY, all of the items must be shipped rolled in tubes for the actual cost of sending your order (plus $3 for the packaging materials) for all customers (NOTE: It will be approximately $15 to $20 for up to 3 linenbacked posters and approximately $10 to $15 for up to 3 non-linenbacked posters; NOTE: We do not combine linenbacked posters with unbacked posters, unless the buyer insists, due to the great chance of damage to the unbacked ones, so if you win both types, they will be shipped in two tubes for two separate shipping charges). After winning, you need to request a shipping quote through our Checkout system.
     Missouri customers: You must pay an additional 7.162% sales tax on your purchases.  If your order is sent within the state of Missouri, we MUST collect this tax (if it is shipped to another state, we do not collect the tax).

Will your order be shipped to you by UPS?
     UPS does NOT automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so if you want the signature to be required, you will need to pay the extra $3.00 UPS charges for "signature required" Delivery Confirmation, and please realize that they will then NOT leave the package, and you may well have to go to the UPS facility yourself to pick it up.  But if you prefer this, that is fine, and if you have any other special requirements, please tell us when you are paying for your order.  IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THAT YOU WANT SIGNATURE REQUIRED, THEN YOUR PACKAGE WILL BE SENT WITHOUT SIGNATURE REQUIRED!

You CAN usually combine shipment!

NOTE: These Sunday items need to be sent in tubes so... IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMBINING: Flat rate shipping is good for 3 weeks worth of purchases. If you win items over a span of more than 21 days, you will then be charged the actual cost of shipping plus $3 for packing materials. *linenbacked posters can be combined with these auctions only: Sunday June 2nd linenbacked posters in Part I of June 2013 Major Auction *non-backed posters can be combined with these auctions only: Thursday May 30th some "rolled" oversized posters (such as 30x40s) CAN be combined while others (such as vinyl banners) are not safe to combine; we will automatically combine what is safe to do Tuesday June 4th rolled posters in Part II of June 2013 Major Auction Sunday June 9th "rolled" items only from Part IV of June 2013 Major Auction Sunday June 16th rolled one-sheets Sunday June 30th rolled one-sheets *they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge: Tuesday May 28th folded one-sheets Thursday May 30th "flat" oversized posters Thursday June 6th items from Part III of June 2013 Major Auction Sunday June 9th "flat" items from Part IV of June 2013 Major Auction Tuesday June 11th folded one-sheets Thursday June 13th groups of 2 or more stills from the same film Tuesday June 18th folded non-U.S. posters & non-U.S. lobby cards Thursday June 20th complete and incomplete lobby card sets Sunday June 23rd bulk lots (NOTE: Some CAN be combined and we will automatically do so when possible) Tuesday June 25th window cards & Italian posters ($15 U.S. shipping) Thursday June 27th single 8" x 10" stills Tuesday July 2nd folded one-sheets Thursday July 4th single lobby cards

Note that we not only allow you to combine as many items as you want from a single set of Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Sunday auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge for all of the items, but we also allow you to wait until the next three weeks of auctions end (a total of up to eight sets of auctions) so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if possible), and that means there is a chance you could combine items from up to eight of our sets of auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items fit into the same type of package). We KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do, but we know that our packaging is the best there is, and our orders virtually never arrive damaged (and on the very rare times that they do, all our U.S. packages are fully insured, and FULL INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (plus $3 for packaging materials).

Non-U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order (you can choose whatever method you prefer, but know that the U.S. Post Office has eliminated Surface Mail, so we can only send via Express or Airmail), plus $3 for the best packaging materials you have ever seen.  All non-U.S. buyers must tell us if they want the package sent insured or uninsured at the time they pay for their order.

Have you heard about our Pay and Hold Program?
This lets non-U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 6 consecutive weeks (a total of 15 auctions and around 12,000+ items!), and we then send all your purchases at once saving you LOTS of money!  Click HERE to learn more about becoming one of the hundreds of our non-U.S. buyers who are already part of this program.

     IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear these approximate shipping cost in mind BEFORE you place a bid (if you live outside the U.S.). The vast majority of our customers want a very securely packed tube, and will pay the extra shipping cost involved (and of course, it goes to the Post Office or UPS, and not us!). Please do not ask us to pack less securely, as that would likely result in a damaged order.
    Some sellers are sending by Ground UPS to Canada, but that incurs large "brokerage fees", so we do not recommend it.  Note that there are also some sellers sending non-U.S. packages via a "Letter" rate, but of course this is not legal, and we can not do this.  We have outlined the possibilities for sending non-U.S. packages above, so please read that carefully, BEFORE placing a bid!

DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (the actual cost of shipping plus $3 outside the U.S.)!
