Details About These Sunday Items
About the collection of Frank Sinatra items in this set of auctions
This is a really incredible collection of 265 Frank Sinatra U.S. movie posters, lobby cards, and
stills! It was assembled by a single individual over many years, and he consigned it to us to be
auctioned at this time (and we added just a few other items from other consignors). This
collector did not limit himself to any size, and he was trying to get EVERY first release
U.S. Frank Sinatra movie poster and lobby card, and he came pretty close! There has surely never
before been such a single offering of Frank Sinatra movie paper items at one time.
Note that, to better see the evolution of Frank Sinatra's remarkable
career, we listed all of the items in chronological order, starting with his first credited role
in Reveille With Beverly in 1943, and going through all his movies to The First Deadly Sin, his
final movie, in 1980! Also included is the very first book ever written about Sinatra, The
Voice, which came out in 1947, just four years after his first movie appearance!
About the shipping of the Frank Sinatra items in this set of auctions
The vast majority of the items in this auction ship in our standard flat
packages. There are some "oversized" items like three-sheets, six-sheets, and window cards which
go in larger flat packages, and the shipping on those is slightly higher. There are also some
posters that were never unfolded (mostly inserts and half-sheets), and those need to be sent
rolled in tubes. There are a fair number of inserts and half-sheets that were once folded, but
have been laying flat, and on those, we would prefer to send them in tubes, but they can be
re-folded and combined with other folded items, if the new owner wishes.
About the condition of the items
Note that we give a detailed overall condition grade to every item we sell ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good",
and "good", with only a few graded "fair" or lesser) along with more details about the condition described in words (but pretty much
a general description of the defects, and we only describe specific defects if they are
the type that CAN'T be seen in our super-sized images, or if the item is especially valuable). We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily. Of course, we still strongly recommend that you look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
Of course, with the items that have many pages, we could not photograph
every single page, but we often photograph both covers and an interior
two-page spread, which should surely give you an excellent idea of the
overall condition of that item.

U.S. Shipping Details
KNOW THAT IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS
ONLY
(special all Frank Sinatra auction), the items being
auctioned ship in a variety of ways, and you should refer to each individual auction page to
know how it will be shipped. After winning and depending on what you win, you may 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 a variety of ways (as
noted on the individual auction pages) 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.

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 COST OF SHIPPING AS STATED ON THE INDIVIDUAL AUCTION PAGES.

Non-U.S. Shipping Details
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 both the best packaging materials you have ever
seen and a separate printed invoice mailed to you. 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.

save money on shipping by shipping to friends/family in the U.S., insurance, and customs fees.

Here is a chart containing estimated
shipping charges for up to 3 items from this week's auctions
(note these are ESTIMATES only, and your actual shipping may vary considerably)
NOTE: These estimates are for 3 "flat" items in a standard flat
package. If you win "oversized flat" items or "rolled" items, the cost of shipping will be at
least $5 to $10 more than the amounts shown below, and if you win both "flat" and "rolled"
items, they will be shipped in separate packages for two shipping charges, but of course, we
will automatically combine everything that is safe to do to save you money.
(Note: Insured quotes are based on a $200 value; you pay $1.60 more for each additional
$100 of insurance) |

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.)!
