Various payment options will show during checkout. Contact me if you need another payment option. SHIPPING COST ?....see "SHIPPING COSTS : Shipping-Foreign" (shown below). CUSTOMS CHARGES-- your country may charge you customs fees before you can receive the package. This is not my responsibility NOR is it part of my shipping charge. It is a fee charged by the country you live in.
SHIPPING-FOREIGN For UK, Canada,and Australia, PLEASE check with me first to make sure shipping charges EBAY has listed are correct! In the last few years, there have been HUGE increases in shipping cost outside the USA. ******There is a $2-$5 handling fee for foreign orders. ========================================================= Offered by DAVID WELCH ------ author of COLLECTING PEZ 1995 and Pictorial Guide to Plastic Candy Dispensers 1991. I have been a full time antique and collectibles dealer since 1989 and have been collecting since the early 1970s. I have been on EBAY since 1997.
TV GUIDE Cover Portrait 1963 Dorothy Loudon Garry Moore show CBS stool
$99.99
These deluxe photos were never sold to the public but were promo items within the industry and were sent to select TV stations and key industry people etc. All of them measure in the 16x20 inch range. Also the color ones say on the back "EASTMAN DYE TRANSFER PRINT". This process no longer exists and was VERY expensive at the time.
Info I have obtained from 2 people---one who worked in an East Coast regional office for TV Guide and another who worked for Charles P Mills (1978-1986 and by then called Professional Color) who did the Eastman Dye Transfer prints-----indicates that these were produced in quantities of around 100 or even less due to the expensive nature of producing them. By the late 70s, they cost Mills $150+ each to produce an 11 x 14" print (the prints were 11 x 14" and matted to be 16 x 20"). At the time, it was a state of the art process and the photos never fade.
CONDITION- Almost all of these have some dirt, discoloration, minor stains, foxing (small brown spots), and some degree of bow (not flat). See below for more specific condition details.
ITEM-- this example comes from a TV station collection where they sometimes altered the item with title banners or added easels on the back and condition on these is rougher than what I normally sell so look at photos carefully ! Also for some reason, they blacked out the Charles Mills photography info with marker.
OFFERS---I list 20,000+ items a month on EBAY. It is easier to put Best Offer on everything but because I lose 15% to EBAY fees no matter what, I may not be willing to take offers on everything I have listed.
COMBINED SHIPPING ?
YES...I can do this but ONLY If you follow the below instructions.
To be clear, "combined shipping" is when you buy 3 items, for example, each with a shipping charge of $8, but since I can ship all 3 in the same box, you get charged $10-12 instead of $24.
I cannot "combine shipping" after you have already paid.
1) DO NOT USE the cel phone app ! If you do, EBAY will force immediate payment and charge you full shipping on each item. I will not refund your money if this happens.
2) You must log into EBAY with a browser (Chrome, Safari etc) on your phone, computer or laptop to avoid this.
3) Put all items in your Cart and then, while in your Cart, click the "Request Total" link. "Request Total" will not be visible if you click "Checkout" under your Cart icon. You must click "View Cart" under your Cart icon. The URL should say cart.ebay.com
Because EBAY and PAYPAL have made partial refunds so complicated, I will no longer be refunding $ if you do not follow these instructions.
MY PHOTOS- If more than 1 item is shown in a photo---then items are in SEPARATE listings unless otherwise stated ! Read description!

THANK YOU TO THE PATIENT AND REALISTIC PEOPLE WHO MAKE 98% of EBAY DEALINGS A PLEASURE. I have been on EBAY since 1997 and this company's ability to make simple things needlessly difficult is unmatched by anything I have experienced elsewhere.
