You are bidding on the above listed movie memorabilia or collectible item. Photos are of the actual item(s) you'll be receiving.
NOTE: Nice 1 sheet for the 1986 romantic-comedy.
This piece came directly out of my personal film memorabilia and movie poster collection that I amassed over decades of collecting. I collected mostly one sheets from the best movies of the year, with an emphasis on beautiful artwork and country-of-origin, but I also ended up with lots of other poster sizes as well. You'll find everything from half sheets, 3 sheets, 6 sheets, and lobby cards - to props, presskits and trailers, etc... Original Star Wars posters - to original Pulp Fiction advances. Once they're gone, they're gone!
I try to take photos for you in both natural and artificial light (which is why you might see a slight color difference between the images). My light box uses fluorescent lights - which typically register as green on film - so those images should lose some of the yellows/oranges/reds due to the green light. I've included a color-chart at the top right to help you see what the light is doing to those colors. The scale on the red measuring-tape is in inches.

AUTHENTICITY:
I do not sell fakes, reprints, commercial posters, reproductions, video posters, etc...
Although, as with all rules, there are a few odd exceptions. There's no theatrical poster for things like Lonesome Dove, so if you want a real poster, your only option is the video one sheet. Similarly, the video one sheet for Dawn of the Dead is actually better looking than the theatrical posters. So, I do carry the Lonesome Dove, and could conceivably carry the Dawn of the Dead. Somewhere I have a commercial poster for Star Wars or the Empire Strikes Back that somehow ended up back at the poster distributor's - where it got stamped and sent back out to other theatres to display. So, is it now a real poster? Similarly, I can remember when the Matrix was released and the studio wasn't expecting it to do as well as it did - and they completely ran out of one sheets late in the film's first release! That's why Matrix one sheets have always been so sought after, there's never been enough. I can remember seeing 2nd run theatres who were forced to buy commercial posters and display them in their theaters. Again, does that make those specific commercial posters real now? By the definition most collectors use, it would. Or, at least, it might. So, yeah, occasionally I could have one of those weird, rare things, but in those odd exceptions, it will be very clear that you are not buying a 100% authentic theatrical poster.
Most of my posters were sourced from movie theatres or poster distribution warehouses by myself personally. Many others were purchased from dealers I trusted (back 20 or 25 years ago, the poster hobby had a lot of dealers you couldn't trust). So, rest assured, none of my posters came from any of those bad dealers you've heard so much about. And any posters with known bootlegs have been checked to make sure they're original, even the ones I personally took out of a theatre's projection or poster-storage room myself.

PAYMENTS:
Payment required within 7 days, unless other arrangements have been made. Credit card payments can be made via PayPal or through eBay's system. Local pick-up is available.
eBay also accepts the following: PayPal Credit, PayBright, Google Pay, Apple Pay, debit card, etc... Contact me via website for payment methods to pay on pickup.
COMBINED SHIPPING:
Posters are bulky and can be very expensive to ship. As such, I can combine shipping wherever possible, you'll just pay the original shipping fee plus $2 for each additional item.
If you would like to purchase multiple items and combine shipping, please add each item to your cart and, once you're done, click CHECKOUT. Your cart should automatically calculate the correct shipping charge, if it does not, just click on 'request total' and I'll update your shipping fees manually.
SHIPPING:
Your items will be shipping from Canada, and will take a little bit of time to reach you. I try to ship posters using the cheapest (trackable) method possible, in order to save you as much money as I can. Typically that means the post office - or a service that drives the packages over the border into a state with no sales tax and sends them via USPS (there is an $800US limit for this service though). If you would like faster service or a different courier (FexEx, UPS, Purolator, DHL, etc...), that can be arranged, but will likely cost considerably more. Postage/packaging/shipping typically costs me far more than I charge my customers.
NOTE: The default shipping rate does not come with insurance (please see INSURANCE section below).
USA: USPS (via ChitChats) if under $800US or the post office/UPS/FedEx if over $800 [this seems to be averaging 3 to 6 calendar days].
CANADA: Canada Post [this seems to be averaging 3 to 6 calendar days].
INTERNATIONAL: Typically Asendia (via ChitChats) if under $800US or the Post Office if over [this seems to be averaging around 1+ calendar months].
NOTE: The USPS has now added a $15US surcharge to any package 30" or longer (and $4 for 22"). This will tremendously increase the cost of shipping rolled posters to US residents.
International Buyers - please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges aren't included in the item price or postage cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or purchasing.
Due to recent sector-wide service delays, the above delivery times are estimates only. Overseas shipping could theoretically take up to 12 weeks or more, depending on circumstances. Please be aware.
Note for Customers Outside Canada & the USA: Since rates vary between countries, and even within countries, often quite drastically, please consider the international shipping rate to be a quote that may need to be adjusted. I can usually get packages sent to most countries for the quoted rate, and if your shipping rate ends up being higher than expected, you will have the opportunity to cancel, no questions asked. Insurance may not be available to some countries.
The cut-off time here is 3pm EST. If you get your order in during the morning or early afternoon, there's a good chance that I can ship your poster out the same day.
RETURNS:
International carriers typically DO NOT offer return service and will just dispose of any packages that are returned (that is why everything is listed 'as is' with 'no returns'). So please note that there are no returns. If you want to return something anyway, please contact me first and send it to the address I specify - if it gets back to me safely, I will refund your money (less any fees/taxes/duties/costs). Please be aware: if you don't contact me first and just give the package back to the carrier, it will likely be disposed of and you will be held responsible.
PACKAGING:
I package everything as safely as I can given size and weight constraints. Folded posters typically get sandwiched in-between cardboard - and then placed inside a larger box so it has two layers of protection. I might dispense with the large box for distant locations, which could save tremendously on shipping. Rolled posters typically get wrapped in near-neutral-PH paper, then placed inside a tube which gets put into a 200# test box. So, again, two layers of protection. I try to use recycled cardboard wherever possible.
INSURANCE:
The default shipping rate (ECONOMY) is our no-frills option that saves you the most money possible, but doesn't come with insurance. If you would like insurance, please contact me for a quote. The Post Office has a limit of $1000 in coverage. There are other options that have higher levels of coverage, but they are typically couriers like FedEx or UPS and the prices are insane, like several hundred dollars to ship and insure a folded one sheet.
OTHER:
If you are even the tiniest bit concerned about anything to do with this transaction, we can use escrow if that will help ease your mind (buyer is responsible for escrow fees, of course).
Please see the detailed photographs so you can judge each item's authenticity, condition, and defects for yourself. I typically don't list condition descriptions as they are purely subjective and I wouldn't want anyone to be unhappy because they thought the poster wasn't in the condition I described (amongst other reasons). Please feel free to ask any questions you might have about my items before purchasing, so you don't end up with buyer's remorse. Since shipping posters is so unbelievably expensive nowadays, you are purchasing everything as-is with no returns or exchanges. Just shipping a poster back-and-forth could cost hundreds of dollars.
Buyer is assumes all liability and is responsible for any taxes, duties, fees, charges, tariffs, etc...
I guarantee safe delivery of your items to the carrier. Unfortunately, due to recent service-disruptions (and the rise of porch-pirates, etc...), once the package leaves my hands there's nothing I can do, everything is the buyer's responsibility from that point on.
ABOUT ME:
I have collected original movie posters for several decades now. Many of the posters I'm selling came from a movie-poster-distribution-warehouse collection I purchased back in the early-90s - others I collected over the years from various sources. I used to travel great distances to purchase film poster collections from collectors, movie theatres, multiplexes, and even second-run theaters and small theatres that only played foreign films. I provided the servers (pro bono) that hosted the internet's first movie-poster authentication site, a site which was responsible for severely curtailing fraud inside the hobby. I was even the person who first broke one of the biggest bootleg scandals our hobby has ever seen. Or maybe it was two? So, you can rest assured that you are getting what you paid for! The best and most highly-collectible movie posters on the planet!
If you have any questions about any of my posters (or any other posters, for that matter), don't hesitate to ask! I've picked up a lot of info over the decades, and I'd be glad to help you out in any way I can, if I'm able.
Thanks for looking!
