*U.S. Shipping Details
*Non-U.S. Shipping Details


Our December Major Auction contains over 1,750 items from all of the world and from every decade, and many different sizes and is being run in five parts:

  • Part I (ends Thursday, December 5th): 365 linenbacked U.S. one-sheets

  • Part II (starts Sunday, December 1st): 156 oversized linenbacked posters of all types and other oversized posters that ship in long tubes

  • Part III (starts Tuesday, December 3rd): 250 or so non-one-sheet linenbacked posters that ship in standard size tubes (U.S. and non-U.S., movie and non-movie), plus 100 or so items that ship in oversized flat packages

  • Part IV (starts Thursday, December 5th): 500 or so non-linenbacked posters and lobby cards that ship either rolled in standard tubes or in standard flat packages

  • Part V (starts Sunday, December 8th): 400 or so Star Wars posters and related items of all types, including lots of great rarities and the most desired posters

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!


Details About These Items

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!


U.S. Shipping Details

KNOW THAT IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ONLY (Part I of our December Major Auction), all of the one-sheets are linenbacked all must be shipped rolled in tubes for the actual cost of sending your order (plus $3 for the packaging materials) for all customers (approximately $20 to $30 for up to 3 linenbacked one-sheet-size posters). NOTE THAT THESE ROUGH ESTIMATED RATES ARE FOR ONE-SHEETS THAT ARE BACKED ONTO A STANDARD WEIGHT LINEN; IF YOU WIN LINEN POSTERS THAT ARE ON A HEAVIER WEIGHT OR A LIGHTER WEIGHT LINEN OR THAT SHIP IN LONGER TUBES, THEY MAY COST MORE OR LESS TO SHIP THAN THE ROUGH ESTIMATES, DEPENDING ON THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF THE POSTER(S). After winning, you need to request a shipping quote through our Checkout system.
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 linenbacked one-sheets in Part I of our December Major Auction are linenbacked and can NOT be combined with any of the unbacked items we auctioned over the past weeks or those that we are currently auctioning, because those contain NO linenbacked posters.

They LIKELY CAN be combined with all of the other linenbacked posters that are in Part II and Part III (and the few linen posters in Part V), but they CAN'T be combined with the other items in any of the non-linenbacked items in any of the other parts.

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 COST OF SHIPPING AS STATED ABOVE.


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 the best packaging materials you have ever seen. 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 20,000+ 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 really roughly estimated shipping charges for up to 3 linenbacked on-sheets from this set of auctions (note these are ESTIMATES only, and your actual shipping may vary considerably, depending on where you live and the weight of each linen poster)
(Note: Insured quotes are based on a $200 value; you pay $1.60 more for each additional $100 of insurance)

Type of Shipping Canada/Mexico Australian/Asia/Japan Everywhere Else (inc Europe)
Priority Mail Int'l - Uninsured $49.93 $58.10 $61.19
Priority Mail Express Int'l - Uninsured $65.27 $80.90 $74.49
First Class* (under 4 lbs ONLY) N/A* N/A* N/A*
*First Class has a weight limit of 4 lbs AND a dimensional limit. Posters wider than 28 inches (or 71 cm) can NOT be shipped via First Class. A single linenbacked one-sheet and shipping tube usually exceeds this weight limit and that is why we don't provide estimates for First Class on linenbacked one-sheets.

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)!
