I HAVE BEEN AN EBAY TRADER FOR ELEVEN YEARS,

AND FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN A 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK

BELIEVE ME--IT'S NOT EASY

MY USER ID IS "STAGEROLL" SINCE MOST OF MY LISTINGS DEAL WITH THE PERFORMING ARTS...STAGE, SCREEN, BROADCASTING, CONCERT, OPERA,T/V ETC;

I HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY CONNECTED WITH THE PERFORMING ARTS IN THE SEATTLE AREA FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS

OUTSTANDING AMONG MY LISTED COLLECTIBLES ARE THE BEAUTIFUL 8" X 10", B/W ORIGINAL PHOTOS OF RENOWN PERFORMERS (IN ALL FIELDS)--

I WAS VERY LUCKY TO ACQUIRE these IN AN ESTATE.

MAGNIFICENT, VINTAGE, ORIGINAL, AND IN MINT CONDITION...

UPWARDS OF 80% STAMPED ON THE BACK WITH THE MARK OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER, STUDIO, AGENCY ETC.

I ACQUIRED MOVIE MEMORABILIA DURING A PERIOD IN THE 1970-80'S WHEN WE OWNED AND OPERATED A SMALL CINEMA (450 SEATS) IN EDMONDS WA.......

A PARTNERSHIP OF TWO FAMILIES; OUR CHILDREN HELPED IN EVERYTHING FROM CONCESSIONS, PROJECTION TO CLEAN-UP

THOSE WERE THE DAYS WHEN WE SIMPLY WENT TO FILM ROW--IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE....AND FOR A FEW DOLLARS PICKED UP WHATEVER WE NEEDED FOR ADVERTISING THE COMING MOVIES--

ONE SHEETS, GLOSSIES, WINDOW CARDS, LOBBY CARDS, PRESS KITS, ETC...ETC

LITTLE DID WE REALIZE WHAT EBAY COLLECTIBLE VALUE THESE WOULD TAKE ON EVENTUALLY .

SEATTLE FILM ROW WAS A FUN PLACE TO VISIT

HERE WERE ALL THE DISTRIBUTORS OF ALL THE HOLLYWOOD FILMS..SERVICING THE ENTIRE SEATTLE AREA. AND OUTLETS FOR NSS--NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE--THE FOLKS WHO PROVIDED THE PUBLICITY MATERIALS

MOST ALL PHOTOS I HAVE LISTED ARE IN N/MINT CONDITION....CARED FOR; SOME NOT REMOVED FROM SECURE STORAGE IN RICE PAPER BAGGIES (BEFORE PLASIC) NOT REMOVED UNTIL RECENTLY

A FEW HAVE NO STAMP ON THE BACK, HOWEVER, MOST ARE ORIGINAL

IN ADDITION, YOU'LL FIND LISTED, OCCASIONAL EPHEMERA, AUTOGRAPHS, BOOKS AND {HOPEFULLY) MANY VINTAGE MAGAZINES--SOON

YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW THAT I AM A WW II VET.

THAT MAKES ME A PRETTY OLD FELLA--YES INDEED.

(I SOLD MOST OF MY WW II STUFF IN MY EARLY DAYS ON EBAY.)

THE MOST DIFFICULT DEMAND UPON ME IN eBay LISTING IS THE TYPING. SO I ASK YOU TO EXCUSE THE OCCASIONAL MISSPELLING...REALLY A TYPO

THANKS FOR THE VISIT...HAVE A LONG AND FULL LIFE.

STAGEROLL--EARL P.S. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF RE-ORGANIZING NEARLY 300 ITEM INVENTORY--A PAINSTAKING AND CONFUSING TASK. IF AN OCCASIONAL DOUBLE LISTING CONFRONTS YOU--PATIENCE, WE CAN WORK-OUT THE PROBLEM. I'LL BE LISTING ADDITIONAL CATEGORIES OF ITEMS SOON. BE ALERT.
