Our Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auction has an incredible selection of posters (1500+ items in all!), covering all years, genres, and sizes and is being run in three parts:

• Part I (Sunday May 29th to June 12th): 605 LINENBACKED U.S., non-U.S. and non-movie posters
• Part II (Tuesday May 31st to June 14th): 571 UNBACKED and PAPERBACKED posters, choice lobby cards, & an incredible 3-D collection
• Part III (Thursday June 2nd to June 16th): around 400 "oversized" LINENBACKED and UNBACKED posters of all types, plus  a wonderful selection of PAPERBACKED half-sheets and other sizes (which must be shipped in large flat packages)

IMPORTANT! We will close from Monday June 6th to Friday June 10th (for our annual vacation), and yet our auctions will continue while we are closed, because the three parts of the Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auction will be online for TWO weeks instead of one, so those auctions will continue during the week we are closed, and then each of the three parts will close on the week we return!

As far as orders go, we will continue shipping orders until Friday the 3rd, and then we will resume shipping on Monday the 13th, so please be understanding of this. As far as "pay and hold" orders, we will be "dropping out" this week entirely, as if it does not exist.

Thank you for understanding our desire to have ONE week off a year.

SPECIAL BONUS OFFER TO EVERY BUYER IN THESE AUCTIONS!

INCREDIBLE! Every buyer from ANY of the parts of our "Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auction " receives a great full-color printed t-shirt as a free bonus (even if you only purchase one $1 item)!
     Every buyer in this special auction will receive the great full-color T-shirt pictured at right, which shows the image from the LAWRENCE OF ARABIA pre-awards "camel" one-sheet included in this auction (we will only be making as many t-shirts as there are different buyers in these auctions, so it will be a VERY limited edition, and likely will become a "collector's item" in its own right!). Given that you get this great full-color T-shirt with any purchase, shouldn't you absolutely find any one item to purchase from us from among the 1500+ items in these special auctions?
    *Note: we give this shirt (which costs us $9 to $11 each at wholesale, because they are very high quality) to anyone who purchases one or more items in these auctions. BUT KNOW THAT YOU ONLY GET ONE SHIRT, NO MATTER HOW MANY ITEMS YOU PURCHASE, AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU PURCHASE FROM ANY OF THE PARTS OF THIS SPECIAL AUCTION.
      Please also note that, because some of the posters in this auction are un-backed and rolled, we will NOT send the t-shirt together with your purchase if you purchase only rolled unbacked items. In that case only, we will hold it on your account, and we will add it to the next flat package you receive from us.  But if you purchase items that CAN have a t-shirt included with them (either linenbacked or items that ship flat), then we will include the shirt with your purchases.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S EVEN MORE!  The above offer is for anyone who purchases any ONE item from either part of this mini/major auction.  But if you are a member of our weekly e-mail club, we will be offering our most generous bonus offers ever to those who purchase just FIVE items from any of the three parts combined (you need just purchase a total of five items from any of the three parts).  We will have multiple great offers for those who purchase as few as five items, and as many as twelve or more, and you get these just for being a member of the club (so if you are not already a member, and over 5,985 collectors already are, then why not join today by going to https://www.emovieposter.com/club/settings.php).

HERE IS A CHART OF THE ITEMS IN THIS AUCTION:
(to better help you find the sizes and countries that interest you)

IMPORTANT: Note that almost all of the items in Part II of our Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auction are unbacked or paperbacked and must be shipped either rolled in tubes (lots 2t010-1t014 and 2t203-2t571) or in flat packages (lots 2t015-2t202), but note that ONLY lots 2t001-2t009 are linenbacked and must be shipped rolled in tubes but can NOT be combined with the other rolled items in this Part II but CAN be combined with the linenbacked items in Part I (the reason we didn't include these nine linenbacked posters in Part I is because they are part of the 3-D collection at the start of the auction).  And know that because we never choose to combine linen and non-linen posters, the non-backed items in any part of this auction must be shipped separate from linenbacked items in this auction.

All of the following are linenbacked (they are the only linen posters in this part of the auction, and are here because they are part of the 3-D collection):
2t001-2t009 3-D one-sheets from 3-D movies

All of the following need to be sent rolled in a tube:
2t010-2t014 3-D half-sheets & inserts from 3-D movies

All of the following need to be sent in flat packages:
2t015-2t017 3-D three-sheets from 3-D movies
2t018-2t038 3-D one-sheets from 3-D movies
All of the above 38 items are part of a special "3-D" collection, which contains only posters printed for the 3-D release of each of these movies!

All of the following need to be sent in flat packages:
2t039-2t092 folded U.S. one-sheets including LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
2t093-2t104 U.S. title lobby cards
2t105-2t178 U.S. scene lobby cards, complete & incomplete lobby sets

All of the following need to be sent rolled in a tube:
      IMPORTANT: 33 of the below posters (from 2t203-2t571) are paperbacked, but because they are not linenbacked, they can be rolled together with the rest of the unbacked posters, so we did not put them in a separate section. These are paperbacked posters that have been backed onto a thin paper backing, but they will be rolled with the image outward, which is better for paperbacked posters. These 33 posters are clearly identified as being paperbacked on their auctions.

2t204 SINS OF HOLLYWOOD stage play one-sheet
2t205-2t212 special U.S. posters

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!

Payment Options

We accept all major credit cards via phone at +1 (417) 256-9616 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9 AM CST to 5 PM CST except from 12 to 1 when we take lunch), via e-mail, or via fax at +1 (417) 257-6948.

You can send a check or money order (if you do, enclose your address and details about what you purchased) to:
Bruce Hershenson
Attn: Payments
P.O. Box 874
West Plains, MO 65775

If it is your best payment option, you can pay by Western Union, but please don't send cash (as we can't be responsible for lost cash).

If your order requires a shipping quote, please request it through our Checkout system. Please note that we are still developing this checkout system, so while you may request your quote using it, we do not quite have it ready to complete payment (although we hope to have that added soon), but payment may still be completed using whatever method you have used in the past. If you run into any sort of problem requesting your quotes, please e-mail Phillip right away so we can get it addressed.

KNOW THAT IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ONLY (Part II of our Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auction), lots 2t010-1t014 and 2t203-2t571 ship rolled in tubes and lots 2t015-2t202 ship in flat packages for a flat $12 U.S. shipping (we are charging $12 U.S. shipping for the "regular" rolled and flat items rather than the usual $11, both because many of the items are expensive and will cost more to ship, but also because of the many recent postal rate increases; BUT REMEMBER that flat and rolled items can NOT be combined; PLEASE don't ask us to unfold and roll folded posters, because that can harm them, and we will only do so if you insist on it and take responsibility for any possible damage). Lots 2t001-2t009 must be shipped in tubes for the actual cost of sending your order (plus $2 for the packaging materials) for all customers, so please bear this added cost in mind BEFORE you place bids.
     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).

IMPORTANT: Note that almost all of the items in Part II of our Summer 2011 Mini/Major Auction are unbacked or paperbacked and must be shipped either rolled in tubes (lots 2t010-1t014 and 2t203-2t571) or in flat packages (lots 2t015-2t202), but note that ONLY lots 2t001-2t009 are linenbacked and must be shipped rolled in tubes but can NOT be combined with the other rolled items in this Part II but CAN be combined with the linenbacked items in Part I (the reason we didn't include these nine linenbacked posters in Part I is because they are part of the 3-D collection at the start of the auction).  And know that because we never choose to combine linen and non-linen posters, the non-backed items in any part of this auction must be shipped separate from linenbacked items in this auction.

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 Tuesday items need to be sent either rolled in tubes or in flat packages, so... *lots 2t010-1t014 and 2t203-2t571 ship rolled in tubes and there are NO past auctions that they could be combined with nor can they be combined with any of the items in Parts I or III of this auction as we never combine unbacked posters with backed ones due to the great chance of damage to the unbacked ones. *lots 2t001-2t009 are linenbacked and must be shipped rolled in tubes and can only be combined with the linenbacked items in Part I ending June 12th. *lots 2t015-2t202 ship in flat packages can be combined with these auctions only: Sunday May 22nd 'regular' Sunday auctions Tuesday May 24th single lobby cards Thursday May 26th single 8" x 10" stills Sunday May 29th 'regular' Sunday auctions Tuesday May 31st folded one-sheets Thursday June 2nd multiple 8" x 10" stills

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 $12 FLAT 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 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)

     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!

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 $3 outside the U.S.)!
