No, I'm not talking about my vast collection. A friend of mine has sent a number of prints my way to put up for sale. I haven't decided as to whether I will go to the forum first or ebay first.

Here are some of the title :

Izzy and Moe (optical sound) 4X400 Kodak SP, a little fade, actually works in it's favor.

Billion Dollar Hobo (optical sound) 4X400 Tim Conway. Slight fade. OK

Reefer Madness!! (mag sound) 4X400 One of the ultimate bad films, right up there with plan 9 from outer space. It's so bad, it's good.

Stage Door Canteen (mag sound) 4X400 All star Cast! Please note however, that the last reel is a second and a half off synch, sadly, so that one will probably go for a low price. Niles

Ghosts of Rome (foreign film) 5X400 mag sound. One of the neat plus's is that it has the original "Thunderbird Films" animated logo at the beginning. It is faded, however.

Gullivers Travels. 4X400 A Black and White Thunderbird print, but it is a very good non dupey looking B/W print. I was actually rather pleased screening this, as those great "Max Fleischer" character's read better in black and white. (personal opinion, however). At least, you don't have to worry about it fading.

Von Ryan's Express. 6X400ft Mag Sound. My personal favorite as Frank Sinatra's best role. Also has Trevor Howard. This comes in it's original fold over snap shut case. It is on Kodak SP, but there is a warming to the print, having a brownish quality. Some scenes, (daylight) are better, but the blacks are not black, of course.

A few others to list as well. Gotta get around to checking the whole lot.

I have to get in touch with the soon to be ex owner of these prints to calculate how much to put as a "no lower than" sellign price, but inquiries are welcome.

All the best
