ITEM DESCRIPTION  


TV GUIDE Cover Portrait 1965 THE MUNSTERS CBS Fred Gwynne Frankenstein De Carlo

$7,500.00

If you have any TV Guide Cover Portraits you want to sell, or if you ever worked for TV Guide or Charles Mills/Professional Color, please contact me.

From the Kevin Burns estate, as he had it framed.
Of the 1000s of TV Guide Cover Portraits that were made from the 1950s to 1990s, this is easily in the top 10 of most desirable, high demand and value. Less than 100 of these were originally made. I have been buying these for 25+ years and this is the first one of these I have ever seen.

NOTE--I took this out of the frame to verify condition but the only "damage" done in doing this was slicing the brown paper on the back side of the frame.
===========================================

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- The print itself is near flawless, the front mat is clean and excellent, the back side mat has some oddly shaped discoloration which seems mostly to be from paper acid transfer from being in contact with something else at some point, there is a faint area at the top that appears to be light moisture staining but this is not evident from the front .

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!
