About the what this set of auctions contains
The items in this set of auctions are almost all "small" unusual items (8x10 or smaller). There are a very few that are larger than 8x10, but so few that we are giving our lowest U.S. shipping rate ($8 no matter how many items you get) on EVERYTHING in this set of auctions, including those larger items! Over 75% of the auction consists of Spanish heralds and Danish programs, and the other 281 items consists of small sizes that don't fit in any of our "regular" auctions, and there are some really excellent and rare items included! We WISH we could tell you that we have lots more of these kinds of items, but in each case we have auctioned all we have of each of those types (cigar box labels, stamps, etc), and it took us several years to accumulate even these quantities, so if you don't buy them now, you may wait several years before we auction any more of them! 
     Where do these come from? Most of the Spanish heralds and Danish programs came from two incredibly long time collectors who each "specialized" in those sizes. The others were almost all a single odd item that a consignor sent along with other items. Many of these are extremely rare!

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

U.S. buyers need to enclose $8 shipping (which includes full insurance), no matter how many items you purchase from this set of auctions! NOTE: Our $8 flat rate shipping is good for two weeks. If you haven't paid within two 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 7.662% 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"?
 Neither 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 $5.00 for UPS or $2.60 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. 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 (unless your package has a dollar value over $300, in which case we will ALWAYS send it with signature required, due to the massive rise in "porch thefts", unless you specifically tell us not to, and you will need to fully accept responsibility for the package if it is stolen from your porch or lobby)!

You CAN usually combine shipment!

NOTE: These Sunday items need to be sent in small flat packages so...
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMBINING: Flat rate shipping is good for 2 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 14 days, you will then be charged the actual cost of shipping plus $3 for packing materials.

*they can be combined with these auctions (but note that if you win other items that have a higher flat rate shipping, you will need to pay the higher cost of shipping from those items):

Tuesday March 5th "oversized flat package" items in Part II of March Major Auction (NOTE: Some can NOT be safely combined; we will automatically combine what can be safely done.)
Thursday March 7th "flat" items in Part III of March Major Auction
Sunday March 10th groups of 2 or more stills from the same title/star
Sunday March 17th pressbooks and assorted items
Tuesday March 19th folded one-sheets
Thursday March 21st three-sheets and Italian posters
Sunday March 24th signed items of all kinds
Tuesday April 2nd single lobby cards
Thursday April 4th "oversized, flat" items
(NOTE: Some can NOT be safely combined; we will automatically combine what can be safely done.)

*they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge:

Tuesday March 5th "linenbacked" posters in Part II of March Major Auction
Tuesday March 5th "rolled, unbacked" posters in Part II of March Major Auction (NOTE: Some can NOT be safely combined; we will automatically combine what can be safely done.)
Thursday March 7th "rolled" posters in Part III of March Major Auction
Tuesday March 12th rolled non-U.S. posters
Thursday March 14th rolled one-sheets and special posters
Tuesday March 26th inserts, half-sheets, Italy, Japan, Belgium
Thursday March 28th rolled one-sheets and special posters
Sunday March 31st bulk lots (NOTE: Some CAN be safely combined, and we will automatically combine if safe to do.)
Thursday April 4th "three dimensional" items
Thursday April 4th "oversized, rolled" items

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 to have your purchases shipped until the next four weeks of auctions end (a total of up to twelve 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 twelve 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 four 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 $8 U.S. SHIPPING!


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 8 consecutive weeks (a total of 24 auctions and around 24,000+ 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.

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: Insured quotes are based on a $200 value; you pay $1.60 more for each additional $100 of insurance)

IMPORTANT: If you buy any books (or similar items that have some weight to them), shipping may be a LOT more than the quotes shown below, because those items are heavier and the cost of shipping is based on the weight of the package, so please bear this in mind before bidding on heavier items.
 

Type of Shipping Canada/Mexico Australian/Asia/Japan Everywhere Else (inc Europe)
Priority Mail Int'l - Uninsured

$43.19

$51.93 $53.11
Priority Mail Express Int'l - Uninsured $58.05 $70.93 $66.41
First Class (under 4 lbs ONLY) $22.74 $24.61 $24.38
*First Class has a weight limit of 4 lbs so the maximum number of items that can ship via First Class in a flat package is twenty (20), but bear in mind that is at the maximum weight of 4 lbs which will cost more than the estimates above (the cost to ship 20 items via First Class is approximately $50, depending on where you live). Of course, some items weigh more than others, so these are just rough estimates.

     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 packing materials)!
