I came across this wonderful forum while doing a bit of research before posting a few of my titles on eBay. My collecting days are over and now its time to pass my films to those of you that have a more of a passion.
I am the original owner of all of my titles (More than 65 now.) I worked at the studio at the time and would often watch a copy at work, buy it, and never watched it when I got it home. Consequently most of my films are still in shrink-wrap or, if they were opened, the boxes are in pristine to excellent condition. I have feature excerpts, Animation and Live-Action, silent and sound, 200' and 400' reels, some from the parks as well. Approximately 60/40 percent shrink-wraped vs. opened but all boxes are super clean.
Here is the Link to what I have listed thus far.

I appreciate any input from others in the forum.

To: Julian Baquero - With the exception of a 400' reel of Gene Kelly in An American in Paris, a couple of Marx Brothers titles (Castle Films' This is War & The Incredible Jewel Robbery) and a couple of bizarro items (Ken Films' War-Gods of the Deep with Vincent Price & Yongary - Monster of the Deep) that I have no recollection of acquiring, it is all Disney.
To: Scott - As I mentioned earlier, I auctioned off most of my shorts in 2008 but I am still in possession of 400' reel compilations of Mickey's Memorable Moments, Vol. 1 & 2, Donald Duck's Dilemmas, Vol. 1 & 2, Goofy's Golden Gags, Vol. 1 & 2 and Pluto's Playful Pranks. Also, Silver and Gold collector editions of Mickey Mouse: the first 50 Years. All of those 400'.
For the Parks, here goes, America on Parade (DL & WDW), Main Street Electrical Parade ("Direct from Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom",) An Evening at the Magic Kingdom, An Evening at Disneyland, The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, and A Day at Disneyland. All of those are with sound. I also have the silent Disneyland Attraction Highlights 1&2.

Hello Steve,
Unfortunately, you probably will have to check each title individually. One title could be red and the other perfect -- depends on the film stock used. Although running the film through a projector is ideal to check out the print, you run the risk of turning a mint print into something less -- I trust your friend has a well-maintained projector that won't scratch film.
With a magnifying glass in hand, or even the naked eye, unwind a few feet of film and hold it up to the light to see how the color is. Better yet -- check the edge of the film for markings -- regular Eastman will most certainly be faded badly by now. SP will be pretty good, and LPP excellent. I believe FUJI will be pretty good, too. The best Disney prints I have I purchase via Derann's used list -- some printed by Derann, and some from the original Disney home movies printings. As you may know, the labs in the UK used better stock than here in the US.
