Special Notes About The Items in This Week's
Sunday Auctions
HERE IS A CHART OF THE ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION:
(to better help you find the types of items that interest you)
NOTE: EVERY item in this auction has an
authentic signature on it which was hand signed onto that item by the
celebrity (some of the items are reproductions which the celebrities signed,
but those are clearly marked, and the ones that are not marked "REPRODUCTION"
are original vintage items). THIS IS A REALLY REMARKABLE OFFERING (which primarily comes from three wonderful collections), and if you have the
slightest interest in autographed items, then you won't want to miss this
auction!
7c001 LOUISE BROOKS signed VINTAGE still
7c002-7c152 signed VINTAGE stills
7c153-7c159 signed index cards, postcard, notebook paper
7c160-7c324 signed REPRODUCTION stills (but the autographs are
genuine!)
Where are the many bulk lots and our usual "Sunday items"
regularly offered on Sunday?
We are taking a break from our regular Sunday
offerings of magazines, scripts, glass slides, German programs, and bulk
lots this week while we offer signed items this week, but know that
we have a HUGE
number of items waiting to be auctioned in our "regular" Sunday auctions, so
please know that
they will return in five weeks on Sunday December 12th (because we have
several different types of auctions scheduled for the next few Sundays),
and almost every week thereafter.
About
the Autographed
Items We Are Offering
Note that
a high percentage of these autographed items come to us from
several different collectors who spent decades assembling their collection.
We have put a paragraph (or sentence) on each auction, giving the history of
how the consignor obtained the autograph (to whatever degree we know). The remaining
small percentage of items were consigned to us by either collectors or dealers who
purchased them from reputable autograph sellers between 10 and 30 years ago,
and we believe those to surely be authentic autographs as well.
IN EVERY CASE, WE HAVE GIVEN
ALL OF THE INFORMATION WE KNOW ABOUT WHERE THE
AUTOGRAPH WAS OBTAINED IN THE AUCTION DESCRIPTION FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ITEM.
A very few of the
items come with a "Certificate of Authenticity", but the vast majority do
not. Please read over each auction description carefully, so you will
know all we know about the provenance of that item.
Note that this is the fourth of our special "all signed"
auctions! We had intended to include ALL of our remaining signed
items (around 700 items) in this auction, but
we were only able to include 324, so the remainder of the items will be in
an additional "all signed" auction which will be held beginning on November
21st, ending on November 28th. All of the main consignors (the longtime
collectors who consigned the bulk of the items) have told me that they will
give anyone who purchases any of these a 30 day return privilege on any of
these autographed items, because they KNOW them to be genuine, and of
course, that gives every buyer plenty of time to be 100% certain that they
have purchased a genuine autograph!
Remember that most of these items are vintage, but that some are reproductions, and that we always clearly identify which is which.
But, IN EVERY CASE, every one of these items was personally signed
by the person listed! We know they make wonderful special gifts to those
friends or family who you know really like a specific celebrity!
This
auction contain 324 personally
signed (autographed) items, with lots of top stars from all years
and genres!
About the
Condition
We give a detailed overall condition grade ("fine", "very good to fine", "very good", "good to very good", and only a few which are less than "good to very good") along with more details about the condition described in words (where we thought additional details were needed, because the defects were hard to see). We felt this would help bidders identify items they want to bid on more easily. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, so 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
still for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
About Surface Scuffs and Creasing on
Stills
As anyone who looks at old photos knows, twenty to eighty year old photos are almost certain to pick up faint scuffs and creases in the surface emulsion of the photo. Vintage stills are the same way. But when these creases and scuffs are light, you can't see them when you look directly at the still from straight on, but you CAN see them when you tilt the still to the light. We don't consider this a major defect, because we don't know anyone who displays their stills tilted to the light. So if a still has minor scuffs and creases that are not very visible when it is viewed straight on, we still grade it as "very good or very good to fine" (or a higher grade). The only exception to this is if there are scuffs and creases throughout the entire still. Then we grade it as "lesser" (or a lower grade), even if the scuffs and creases are not visible when looked at straight on. We DO feel most collectors can accept minor surface scuffs and creases that can hardly be seen from straight on and are relatively minor. If you disagree, you probably should think long and hard before bidding on the stills that we grade as "lesser", or "very good or very good to fine" (but you still likely will be happy with the stills we grade as "fine or better", because we won't give a still those grades if there are scuffs in the surface emulsion that are at all visible when the still is viewed head-on).

that ability very soon. Also note that it is still fine to pay us using any
other payment method (including using PayPal "the old way").

U.S. Shipping Details
U.S. customers pay only $6 for shipping ANY
quantity of stills!
Because these stills can be sent in smaller
packages than posters or lobby cards, we charge just $6 U.S. shipping for
any purchases of solely stills. But if you purchase other items from
other sets of auctions, and you want us to add the stills to those, then you
will have to pay the higher regular U.S. shipping. Also note that we
don't give any bonus items with these stills, so that they can still be sent
in a small package for the $6 U.S. shipping rate. Finally, note that
we fully insure all U.S. orders, and we lose money on the shipping of most
orders of multiple stills (even if you buy 20 or 50 of these, you will only
pay $6 U.S. shipping for ALL of them!), but this way we reward those
who buy many items.
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 $2.50 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 flat packages so...
*they
can be
combined with these auctions (but realize
you may then have to pay the higher cost of shipping from these
auctions):
- Sunday October 24th personally signed items ($6
U.S. shipping)
- Thursday October 28th lots of two or more 8" x 10"
stills from the same title ($6 U.S. shipping)
- Tuesday November 2nd items in Part I of our Halloween
auction (you can combine with lots 6x121 through 6x751 for $10 U.S.
shipping but not with lots 6x001 through 6x120 because those must be
shipped in tubes)
- Sunday November 7th miscellaneous items that do not
fit in our standard auctions ($10 U.S. shipping)
- Thursday November 11th single 8" x 10" stills
($6 U.S. shipping)
*they must be sent separately from
these auctions for an additional shipping charge:
- Tuesday October 26th rolled non-U.S. posters
- Sunday October 31st "oversized" rolled posters
(but realize you will then have to pay the higher actual cost of
shipping)
- Thursday November 4th rolled items in Part II of our
11th Annual Halloween auction
- Tuesday November 9th rolled non-U.S. posters
|
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 five sets of auctions end (a total of six 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 six 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 $6 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), plus $2 for packaging materials. 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.
For Canada or Mexico, we estimate the "actual
cost of shipping" to be approximately $12 for up to 20 stills.
For everywhere else in the world, we estimate
the "actual cost of shipping" to be approximately $14 for up to 20 stills.
Have you heard about our Pay and Hold
Program?
This lets non-U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 4 consecutive weeks
(a total of 12 auctions and around 8,000+ items!), and we then send all your
purchases at once saving you LOTS of money! Click
HERE to learn more (if you are not one of the hundreds of our
non-U.S. buyers who are already part of this program)
Do you have a friend or relative who lives in the
United States?
Some of our customers either visit the U.S. regularly, or have friends or
relatives within the U.S., and often those customers have us send their orders
to a U.S. address, and then they transport the posters from there. THIS CAN
SAVE YOU A GREAT DEAL ON SHIPPING! This is fine with us, but realize that
you still need to let us know within one week of receipt if you want to return
anything, so don't use this method unless you are certain you will want to keep
your purchases.
DON'T BID ON
OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (the actual cost of shipping plus $2 outside the U.S.)!
