condition of the collection was mint, with many items having
never been handled.
The collection does not include any highly sought-after
items like one-sheets, half-sheets, or title cards for classic
collectible titles such as “Casablanca” or “Frankenstein”. The
well-known film titles in the collection are often represented by
somewhat less desirable types of memorabilia. For example, the
collection contains a twenty-four-sheet and a pressbook for
“Goldfinger”, the most highly regarded James Bond film. The only
item in the collection from “The Misfits”, with Marilyn Monroe
and Clark Gable, is a twenty-four-sheet. “Exodus” is represented
in the collection by a 10-card lobby card set, a twenty-four-
sheet, a six-sheet, a three-sheet, and a pressbook. The
collection also includes a six-sheet, a three-sheet, and a
pressbook for John Ford’s “The Horse Soldiers”, starring John
Wayne, and a twenty-four-sheet, a six-sheet, and two foreign
posters from “Vera Cruz”, which starred Burt Lancaster and Gary
Cooper, a three-sheet and a pressbook from “Run Silent, Run
Deep”, starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster, a pressbook from
Howard Hawks’ “Red River”, starring John Wayne, 16 black and
white stills, a three-sheet and a six-sheet of “Baby Face
Nelson”, a six-sheet and a three-sheet from “Midnight Cowboy”,
starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman, and a six-sheet, four
