Our April Major Auction is now "live" and is one of our best in many years!We ending up receiving ONE THOUSAND FIFTY ONE excellent consignments for our April Major Auction, which runs until 4/14! We ARE now accepting consignments to our August Major Auction which starts July 14th. We are now accepting consignments for our next "all-comic book" auction which starts May 19th!
Turn back the hands of time! 50
years ago I (Bruce Hershenson), owner of eMoviePoster.com, was winding down my
comic book publishing and dealing business. And now HALF A CENTURY later
my auction company, eMoviePoster.com is holding a great "all-comics" auction
includes hundreds of great EC comics (and many other comics as well) starting
May 19th, and all of YOU are invited to consign to it! We are now accepting consignments for our next "all-art print" auction which starts June 16th!It's official! Our next "all-art print" auction starts June 16th and we already have over 700 prints consigned and here! We have been SO incredibly busy finalizing the April Major Auction that we have only made a single preview ad for this special auction below, but PLEASE, if YOU are someone with art prints you have considered selling, contact us RIGHT AWAY about them being included in this special auction! Why the rush, when the auction is months away? Because we always auction the first one we received when we receive two of the same print, so the sooner you get yours here, the more likely they can be included. Last time we had around 100 that were not included (but WILL be included this time) and that was because those consignors did not send their early. In this case, the early bird DOES get the worm, so please contact us ASAP with what you have! HERE IS ABSOLUTE PROOF YOU GET FAR MORE CONSIGNING TO US THAN ANY OTHER MAJOR AUCTION!
On 12/7/2023, another major auction company sold an example of the one-sheet from The Empire Strikes Back that has unedited Kastel art, and it sold for $20,000. On 12/19/2023 (12 days later), our company, eMoviePoster.com, sold a different example of the one-sheet from The Empire Strikes Back that has unedited Kastel art, for $21,500.
But this brings up a great
point. A few collectors (especially "newbies") have a perception that the
auctions that print fancy catalogs and have giant showrooms sometimes get more
money than we do. BUT THIS IS NOT BORNE OUT IN ACTUAL RESULTS! When you
compare "like items" (apples to apples and oranges to oranges), you will find
that we at eMoviePoster.com often DO get more than the "fancy catalog" auctions.
AND EVEN IF THE OTHER POSTER HAD SOLD FOR $25,000 AND OURS HAD SOLD FOR $20,000, OUR CONSIGNOR WOULD STILL HAVE RECEIVED $1,000 MORE, EVEN THOUGH HIS POSTER SOLD FOR $5,000 LESS! We don't accept ANY sub-$30 consignment items at all (even for bulk lots), and lesser condition items must be $50+!10 months ago, on May 1st, 2023 we announced we would no longer accept ANY sub-$30 consignments AT ALL (and those in under "good to very good" must be $50+). Almost ALL consignors have now realized this, and are either solely sending these lower priced items (or not sending any items), and that saves us massive time sorting through low value items, time we get to spend on the $30+ items we receive, which we are now getting to auction even faster than ever! But a very few consignors continue to send low value items, and we are now simply returning those at the consignor's expense, so PLEASE, if you are one of the very few doing this, please stop doing so right away! This added change has resulted in a much "leaner" eMoviePoster.com, one that does not auction hardly any lesser condition items, and I guarantee you all that bidders have greatly welcomed this change! AND IF THIS MEANS THAT ANY OF YOU NO LONGER WANT TO CONSIGN, I CAN ACCEPT THAT. TEN MONTHS AGO I ALSO MADE A COMMITMENT TO ALL OF YOU! It is now March 2024. I will continue running this business (just as I have for the past 34 years) through the end of 2025, at the very least! Since that should roughly coincide with our TWO MILLIONTH auction (which I DO want to reach) I will go until 12/31/25 OR our 2,000,000th auction, whichever comes later! After 12/31/25, I make no promises at this time. I MAY WELL continue longer (especially as I am SO likely the "new" eMoviePoster.com), or I MAY somewhat withdraw from the business so the employees run it more and more, or I MAY look for a buyer for it (possibly some of the employees themselves), or I MAY close it down! SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR CONSIGNORS? If YOU are someone with a house (or a warehouse) full of items, realize that for the next 22 months you have a effortless way to sell all your items, both with no work on your part, and you get to deal with the most honest and most trusted auction there is! AFTER 2025 comes to an end, do those of you with a house (or a warehouse) full of items have a "Plan B" if we are no longer auctioning (which may or may not happen)? You surely DON'T want to sell your items one at a time, and you surely know most dealers would offer you pennies on the the dollar, and you surely know that almost every other auction would charge you huge fees and only want your best stuff, so SHOULDN'T YOU CONSIDER THE MERITS OF CONSIGNING TO US OVER THE NEXT TWENTY TWO MONTHS? And PLEASE don't tell me that your plan is to let your heirs worry about how to deal with your stuff after you are gone. That often works out terribly, and sometimes whole collections are literally trashed. Unless you positively hate your heirs, do not choose this option! Over and over the past few years, very long time collectors with huge collections have told me that "we need to have a talk one of these days" because they need to make a plan on how they will deal with their collection. That time has now come, and all of you have 22 months left in which figure out what to do, and you want to start thinking about this sooner than later! Now I have no crystal ball! Maybe a new auction like ours will emerge down the line that offers a reasonable alternative to auctioning through us. I hope that occurs. But for right now, I feel that what I say above makes a massive amount of sense for those of you who are in an age bracket (or a point in your life or collecting) where you want and need to do SOMETHING with your collection sooner than later! If YOU are someone like the collectors or dealers I describe above with a house (or a warehouse) full of items that you would love to no longer have (while getting them into the hands of people who will treasure, and with doing little work on your own), please feel free to email or phone me so we can discuss "your next step"! WE WANT TO BUILD AN EMOVIEPOSTER.COM THAT CAN KEEP BEING THESE BEST AUCTION HOUSE THERE IS FOR YEARS TO COME, AND IT IS ONLY THROUGH STRICTLY ENFORCING THE ABOVE RULES ABOUT NO MORE SUB-$30 ITEMS AT ALL (AND NO MORE LESSER CONDITION SUB-$50 ITEMS) THAT WE CAN DO SO. IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF EVERY COLLECTOR AND CONSIGNOR FOR THAT TO HAPPEN! THANKS FOR BEING UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED FOR STRICTLY ENFORCING THESE SIMPLE RULES Why eMoviePoster.com is FAR AND AWAY the world's #1 vintage poster auction houseeMoviePoster.com is FAR AND AWAY the world's #1 vintage poster auction house, and the reason for that is simple!
