On this day in 1940, Bugs Bunny made his first official appearance in a Merrie Melodies cartoon.
While a similar-looking character appeared in a previous Warner Bros. short, cartoon historians say this was the first cartoon in which he exhibited the laid-back Bugs Bunny attitude, uttering his "What's Up, Doc?" catchphrase for the first time.
I really enjoyed the clip, but I noticed four errors throughout the film relating to the shotgun and also the carrot. The animators and the editor/s were really off their game here. See if you can spot them?
Grand advertising in New York's Times Square in 1954 advertising the film Apache. The website it appears within just credits the poster as being of Sitting Bull, who actually was part of the Sioux nation and not an Apache.
I likely have a tenth if not less of the collection size you & others here have-and my poster gets more disorganized and less "recorded" as the months go by.
If im thinking were is that poster, I'm usually like, was that folded or rolled?....
good luck! It takes up so much time to have a recorded list....

I disagree. It takes up so much more time NOT to have a recorded list.
Granted, when I first realized I needed one, I had around 400 items. I had to dedicate a full weekend into entering them into excel.
These days, I complete an auction and the posters arrive. I have kept the receipt email and I have the posters. Say I have 10 new items. I open the spreadsheet, go to the alphabetical spot and see if it is new, an addition or a duplicate (happens, especially with lobbies). You enter the fields from the paper itself, add the sales info from the receipt and then place the items in the proper bin/rack/shelf. Total time is around 15 minutes for 10 items.
It sure beats my old system, where I was never certain what I owned or where it was. It is embarrassing to tell someone you have a particular item and 2 hours later vaguely recall that you must have lost that auction.
Of course, my collection is still relatively small. I have around 900 rows on my spreadsheet, about 2/3 are lobbies which will have multiple cards. But I can't imagine managing it without the excel sheet.

Huh?
When I didn't have the list, I was constantly wondering if I already owned something I was considering bidding for. Then I'd have to go back through the tubes and flats. Fortunately, I had always written contents on each package. Otherwise I'd be in there, opening everything up and potentially damaging paper.
I've been at this since the mid-80s, and I have lost a lot more times than I have won. I need the database to tell my memory which it was.

Oh....I see, and makes good sense. I bought my first vintage poster 17 years ago, but have only started buying with regularity the last 3, so my collection is small enough (200 to 250 pieces) for me to know what I have, but am usually unsure where to find them.
Mine are mostly still in shipping packages but just half labeled-which i start a year ago when I realized I couldn't quickly locate a piece. *I need to set up an Excel spreadsheet like you have-would make me feel much better..
I just received a consignment that the fellow bought over the past 20 years, and for every item he simply printed out the auction or dealer page he bought from and put it with the item. Not the most elegant way, but it showed what he knew about each item, how much he paid, and when he bought it.

Hopefully will put a smile on your faces. Too much bad news these days.

good one!
....I was surprised to see who's selling them....

Been a shocker of a couple of weeks for me...especially last few days...so haven't been able to be on much.
It's very quiet in these "halls"...what's everyone up to????
Busy with work/kiddos! Little guy had 7th birthday party/daughter got braces for next 27 months!
I'm drowning in aussie paper!
I farken HATE it when I can't find things that I KNOW ARE HERE!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

A full weekend? Wish I had that time! Must be nice!....

Far out Jay...you need to spend a weekend at my place (ok maybe a couple)!
This is exactly my problem.
I am trying to get organised now, and am finding duplicates left right and centre.
And things that I know I have, I have no idea where to find!
Most frustrating.
I miss the good old days when my excel spreadsheet was correct and organised!
