          Degenerates”, a 1972 release, “Drum”, a 1976 release, and “The              
          Man Who Loved Love”, a 1977 release.  None of these films are               
          listed in two of the major price guides from 1994.                          
               The collection also contains 1,727 8- by 10-inch black and             
          white and color still photographs.  The record does not reveal              
          whether any of those stills had any particular merit or were of             
          sought-after titles or film stars.  There were no duplicate                 
          stills listed in the AMMI inventory.                                        
               The 2,858 lobby cards constituted 39 percent of the items in           
          the collection.  With very few exceptions, these were complete              
          sets.  The inventory listed the cards in quantities of 4, 8, and            
          10, which were the numbers of cards commonly contained in sets of           
          lobby cards issued by the studios.  Only 96 cards, or 12 sets of            
          lobby cards, were listed as duplicates in the AMMI inventory.               
               The 836 foreign posters made up 11 percent of the items in             
          the collection.  The foreign posters also include 310 of the 546            
          duplicates in the collection.  Only 1,043 larger items issued by            
          American studios, such as one-sheets, three-sheets, six-sheets,             
          and twenty-four-sheets, about 14 percent of the total, are                  
          included in the collection.  There are also relatively few half-            
          sheets (114), window cards (39), and inserts (134) in the                   
          collection.  There are 331 pressbooks in the collection, of which           
          27 are duplicates.
