A Christmas Carol: Any and all versions! I'm a collector of all things ACC. In particular though:

Mickey's Christmas Carol (Yes, I know I can get it from Derann but money is low and I would really like to have it before Christmas this year. Hopefully!)

As for any other versions, I know there is a 400' of the Alastair Sim version as well as the full movie. I would be interested in both.

If there are any other versions of ACC on Super 8, please let me know so i can look for them. Thanks!

Tom

Thanks Jeroen!

I'm not going to bid on that ACC digest though. The seller has 8 negatives, all for damaged goods, late shipping, etc. Not gonna take a chance with film.

I'll keep looking.

Thomas,

Although this will not be necessarily your case, I have purchased from this seller. He is located in Mexico. I received my items. Everything is OK.

Now you can decide.

cheers [Wink]

Thanks, Winbert. I'll think about it. This is the second ACC digest to come up in the past few weeks. I suspect there will be more due to the time of year. We'll see.

Thomas,

Look at this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/MICKEYS-CHRSTMAS-CAROL_W0QQitemZ330377762928QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Film?hash=item4cec0c9870

Price is a bit high (and a reserved auction too) but there are some other Christmas digests spliced together in the reel.

good luck!

Too late! Someone used the BIN. I couldn't have afforded it anyway. It would have cost me more than the BIN as I would've had to send it to someone on the forum to break it down onto smaller reels for me and then send it back. So, maybe it's just as well.

If worse comes to worse, I could always go to Dave Thomas's ebay store and buy it for $180. Pricey, but it would be NEW and I do love this cartoon! I'm hoping I can get it for less but we'll see how the next month or so plays out for me money wise.

As for the digest of the 1951 ACC, I'm gonna have to pass on that as well. I've just got a bad vibe about the seller. Could be OK, but I'm gonna go with my feelings on this.
