Well that is terribly sad news, a very nice man indeed.
Thoughts & prayers to his family.
OMG, that's terrible. He was such a wonderful and gentle man. A poster connoisseur and cat lover.
Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
This is so sad...

After Brod's death, the secretary sold the manuscript for “The Trial†for $2 million. No one knows what remains (the secretary has died and her daughter now has them).
Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
I know right. People are so greedy! I hate this kind of thing. We all seem to think we have an entitlement to someone else's stuff and because they are no longer around it doesn't matter. Makes me sick.
In my twilight years, my girls and nephews are welcome to cherry pick whatever they want from the collection.
I have some items I would like to see go to the NSFA when I kark it, but the rest I want them to sell and get whatever they can for them. I've already given hubby instructions on whom to send them off to should I kark it unexpectantly. When my girls are old enough I will give them the same details.
To be honest, I hope that I can shift the vast majority of them before I die so I don't burden them with the whole thing. It would be so overwhelming especially if they have zero interest in them.
One of my best customers bought from me for years starting when I started selling for a living. He bought and bought, and then one day he said, "I can't buy any more posters because I literally have no more room to put them!"
A few years went by and one day he popped us a buyer again. He called to pay and said, "I guess you are wondering why I am back buying. I bought a second house, so now I can fill that up too!".
I tell you the above to tell you how dedicated he was. A few years later he called me out of the blue and said, "I am driving in a giant truck with my son to you and I am giving you all my posters to sell".
When he arrived, while the truck was being unloaded, he said, "I guess you are wondering why I am doing this. A year ago I had quadruple bypass surgery, and right before the operation, I called my only son into the room and said, Son, this may be our last talk if things don't go right, so is there anything you want to say to me? And my son said Dad, if you survive this, promise me you will do something with your posters before you are gone, because I don't want to have to deal with it"!
The collector said he was SO surprised that this was what his son chose for his possible last words together that he vowed that if he got through OK, he would bring me his collection as soon as he was able, and he did.
There are two great reasons for doing this while you are still here. One is that you take a real burden off your heirs, but the other is that a huge number of heirs have been royally taken advantage of, when the collection owner did not leave any clear instructions.
