Our December Major Auction contains hundreds of items (1,595 items in all!), covering all years, genres, and sizes and is being run in four parts:

• Part I Results (COMPLETED!): 459 linenbacked one-sheets
  
• Part II (Tuesday December 2nd to December 9th): 341 linenbacked posters of all other types (that ship in standard size tubes)
• Part III (Thursday December 4th to December 11th): 184 oversized linenbacked posters
• Part IV (Sunday December 7th to December 14th): 611 unbacked posters, lobbies and much more; everything else!

What distinguishes OUR major auctions from other major auctions? Only the lack of any reserves or buyers premiums, honest condition grading, and unenhanced super-sized images! You will find an amazing "supermarket" selection of great posters from all years, genres, and countries!

Special bonus offers to the buyers from this special auction
If you are a member of our weekly e-mail club, we are offering ONE incredibly generous bonus offer (our "Hollywood Posters Six Pack", which is a set of our first six full-color auction catalogs from 1990 to 1994, which contain five million dollars of the greatest movie posters ever made, and which originally retailed for $120) to those who purchase just FIFTEEN items from any of the parts combined (you need just purchase a total of fifteen items from any of the parts together, so if you get fifteen from any one part, you get it, and if you get 5 each from four parts you get it, as long as your total wins is fifteen or more!). We also have an incredible "GRAND PRIZE" for the person who purchases the most items from all four parts combined. That person gets ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS (at our current retail) of VINTAGE MOVIE POSTERS (so if you are not already a member, and over 8,850 collectors already are, then why not join today by going to https://www.emovieposter.com/club/settings.php). It is fine with us if you join the club just to get the bonuses and then "unsubscribe"!

About the condition
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", "good", and "fair", with only a few graded "poor") along with more details about the condition described in words (but pretty much only if they are defects 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.

If a poster 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 poster has! 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!

THERE IS AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ONLY (Part IV of our December Major Auction). The items being auctioned in Part IV ship in a variety of ways, and you should refer to each individual auction page or the chart above to know how it will be shipped. U.S. buyers need to enclose the stated amount of shipping per tube or package (which includes full insurance), no matter how many combinable items you purchase from this set of auctions (and note that if they require a flat package AND a tube, then you will need to pay for shipping in the two types of packages)! NOTE: Our flat rate shipping is good for three weeks. If you haven't paid within three weeks after your oldest unshipped purchase, you will then be quoted the actual cost of shipping when you request it. Learn the exact details of flat rate shipping

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).

Do you need "signature required"?
UPS nor USPS automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so if you want the signature to be required, you will need to pay the extra $3.87 for UPS or $2.35 for USPS that they charge for "signature required", and please realize that they will then NOT leave the package at the door, and you may well have to go to the UPS or USPS facility yourself to pick it up if you aren't there to meet the delivery person. 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! Also, if your package is over $700 to the U.S., we will send it by Registered Mail, which DOES require a signature. If this is something you DON'T want, you must let us know.

You CAN usually combine shipment!

NOTE: These Sunday items need to be sent in either flat packages or rolled in tubes so... IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMBINING: Flat rate shipping is good for 3 weeks worth of purchases (assuming all the items fit into a single package; Learn More About Combining). 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. *most "rolled unbacked items" can be combined with these auctions and we will combine them automatically if there is no chance of damage to any of them items you win: Tuesday November 11th rolled non-U.S. posters Thursday November 13th rolled one-sheets Thursday November 27th rolled one-sheets Tuesday December 4th rolled non-U.S. posters *most "flat unbacked items" can be combined with these auctions and we will combine them automatically if there is no chance of damage to any of them items you win: Sunday November 9th original vintage 8" x 10" stills Sunday November 16th German, East German & Austrian programs and more Tuesday November 18th complete and incomplete lobby card sets Thursday November 20th window cards, French, &  Italian posters Sunday November 23rd groups of 2+ stills from the same film Tuesday November 25th three-sheets, six-sheets, and more Tuesday December 2nd folded one-sheets *they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge: Sunday November 30th bulk lots (some may be combine-able, and if safe to do, we will do so) Sunday December 7th linenbacked one-sheets in December Major Auction Part I Tuesday December 9th linenbacked posters in December Major Auction Part II Thursday December 11th oversized linenbacked posters in December Major Auction Part III

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 (even if you get 100 or more, but solely from a single set!), but we also allow you to wait until the next three weeks of auctions end (a total of up to nine sets of auctions) so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if possible; see Learn More About Combining), and that means there is a chance you could combine items from up to nine of our sets of auctions, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items fit into the same type of package, but of course, there is a limit to how many items can fit in a single package or tube, and if you end up with several packages, you will need to pay that many shipping charges; Learn More About Combining). Since around half of our auctions have items that ship in tubes and the other half have items that ship in flat packages, and since few of those items can be combined, most of our regular buyers end up with at least two packages after three weeks. We KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do (and of course, there are others who charge far more!), but none of the ones with lower rates offer the same generous flat rate shipping we do, and 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 STATED U.S. SHIPPING!

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 18 auctions and around 15,000+ 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.

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

     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 (plus $3 for packaging materials)!
