Basic Tour of things-and-other-stuff.com
CONTENTS
I've put these pages together as they do a good job in giving a basic overview what this site is about and how to get the most out of it.
1. About
things-and-other-stuff
This is a personal history of how I came to deal in Vintage Movie
Collectibles. An introduction of myself to you.
2. What things-and-other-stuff Sells
This is a nuts and bolts breakdown of the different types of Movie
Collectibles that I sell along with terminology that I use in describing these
goods. This is a very important page if you're not sure what we're selling
or what you're looking to buy. You can find my actual items for sale both
at
my eBay Store and on my own site,
old-magazines-for-sale.com
(which, yes, has tons of movie collectibles too!).
3. things-and-other-stuff Grading Guide
This is an important page, it's been on the site for awhile and is linked
from most of my eBay auctions. It is broken down into three numerical
grading categories for Magazines, Photos, and Cards.
4. The Movie Stars and the vintage Collectibles featuring them -- Items 4a through 4d are the real meat of this site. Rather than featuring only biographies of the classic stars or checklists of collectibles, I'm trying to present the best of both worlds and connect them together with as many relevant links as possible. So if you see a neat card while your reading a profile of Clark Gable, click on it to see more cards from that same set. Then say there's a Claudette Colbert card featured in that set, click on Colbert's name and you arrive at her biography. The plan is for you to become lost for as long as you can stay happy doing so.
4a. Movie Profiles
Kick back and read the professionally written 800-1,000 word
Profiles of the Movie Stars ranging from the Silent Period through stars who's
careers peaked in the 1940's & 50's. Each Profile is profusely illustrated
with collectible images which are in turn linked to items I have of that star
currently for sale. Once you've found the items for sale this cycle is
complete, feel free to come back and use these resources as needed.
4b. Collectibles Slide Shows
For each movie star profiled we are creating slide shows featuring collectibles
that have either been sold by or are currently for sale at things-and-other-stuff.com.
Visiting the
Blanche Sweet Slide Show page for instance will allow you to scroll
though several different Blanche Sweet collectibles and enjoy them with your own
eyes.
4c & 4d. Movie Cards
and Movie
Premiums
These are the contents pages for the Photo Identification Guides. Some of
the guides are more detailed with information than others but all include images
to help identify what you may have.
