Peeling Onions...feedback about fellow collectors
A comment by Sven about have a good relationship with other collectors http://vintagemoviepostersforum.com/discussion/2504/a-list-of-some-of-the-items-we-think-all-movie-paper-collectors-should-strongly-consider-owning reminded me that sure most collectors do the basics for a fellow collectors but other times they do go that extra mile these are the things I think are worth mentioning even it they say 'don't mention it'.
Matt and I get on pretty well, we take the piss out of each other incessantly but always in good fun. I remember a few years back, whilst living in Sydney I won a poster at an auction in Melbourne. The postage by the auction house was going to be a nightmare to organise, I asked Matt to help out. He did, he went along to the auction house, sorted out the pickup of it, took it away and then posted it up to me. I know I was extremely grateful at the time, Matt went out of his way to help out a fellow collector, someone who he had not met until a few years later.
The only reason I think to mention it now is that recently I found out that Matt was the underbidder...

Probably 100+ friendly transactions / swaps / deals with Ves.
Good old Phil has helped me out plenty of times over the years.
A pretty congenial hobby overall. At the end of the day, they're just pieces of paper ...
Even from the “Other†forum Thierry once tipped me on a Lebanese Stargate. Matt J helped me land sevaral Japanese Posters.
Not to mention the countless tips and heads up on poster from David, Sven, Mark, Matt and all I’ve forgetten.
Even Bruce and EMP going out of his way to line up a photo of a poster so I could get it restored.
Except for a few asshats this hobby is great!
I would also say people don’t take your help for granted also. Mark has sent me many of cool political items for restoration tips and tricks.
I often feel like I need to catch up on returning the favors...
Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
Anyway, there's dozen's of other collectors I didn't name who have helped me a great deal, so I try to give back anytime I can.
I certainly hope the immense database of information and images I provide free to the entire hobby is appreciated. Most importantly, it is a massive group effort, as virtually every day we receive corrections of all sorts, and we ALWAYS spend the time to fix whatever we learn is wrong.
And the Australian information in the database is immeasurably better thanks to the tireless efforts of Lawrence!
