About the what this set of auctions contains
This set of auctions contains solely 253 souvenir program books, 124 softcover books, 45 auction catalogs, 45 dealer catalogs, and 28 paperbacks. Many of the auction and dealer catalogs are from the earliest days of the hobby and 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 the actual cost of shipping, which includes full insurance! NOTE: You will be quoted the actual cost of shipping when you request it. IMPORTANT! All the items in this auction can be sent by Media Mail, which is far less expensive than other U.S. shipping methods. But packages sent by Media Mail are not handled as carefully as those sent by other methods. So we will gladly send inexpensive items by Media Mail, but we will not send expensive ones that way, unless the buyer specifically accepts responsibility in case the items are lost or damaged.

     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 items need to be sent in 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 June 25th folded one-sheets
Thursday June 27th complete and incomplete sets of lobby cards
Tuesday July 2nd single vintage 8" x 10" stills
Thursday July 4th folded non U.S. posters and non U.S. lobby cards
Sunday July 7th 11" x 14" stills
Tuesday July 16th Single vintage 11" x 14" lobby cards
Thursday July 18th folded non U.S. posters & non U.S. lobbies
Sunday July 21st 11" x 14" pressbooks
Tuesday July 23rd 3sh, 6sh, Argent, Italian, similar

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

Sunday June 30th "really oversized flat" posters (NOTE: Some can and some can NOT be safely combined; we will automatically combine if safe to do.)
Sunday June 30th "really oversized rolled" posters
Tuesday July 9th "rolled" non-U.S. posters
Thursday July 11th rolled one-sheets and special posters
Sunday July 14th Bulk lots
(NOTE: They can only be safely combined with some flat Bulk lots; we will automatically combine if safe to do.)
Thursday July 25th half sheets, inserts, and more

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 ACTUAL COST OF U.S. SHIPPING (plus $3 for heavy duty packing materials; unless otherwise specified)!


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)!
