where you have been (well I do know where you have been :), but you can't
buy a rare, nice quality original art poster of note for less than $1000
these days. This isn't the sort of thing that is printed cheaply on bad
paper, but rather a high quality piece of fine art. If you knew the poster
you would know what I mean. This poster was selling for $700-$900 in the
early 90s. Subtracting the zero from the BIN price would just cover the
cost to have a serious poster prepared and backed with some change left over
for lunch. When was the last time you saw this poster sell for less than
$1000?

Well, just googling "The Hustler" and "original French" you'll see that
currently, a French 47x63, for the original release, can be had for $247.

Lou, that poster that you cite is:
a. not even close to the same poster in more ways than one.
b. a 1961 release when the movie was a first run in many theaters, so there
were tens of thousands more posters produced
c. a mass produced printing on cheaper paper, rather than a fine art poster
like mine for the limited re-release of the movie in France.
d. not linnen backed
e. not nearly the same condition
And all that stuff is a negative and it will still cost you $250! Take into
consideration rarity; mine is a much rarer art poster...and condition (mine
is like new, and condition is a huge variable in art), and quality (mine is
a quality art poster, not a mass produced printing like the one you cite)...
and maybe you will start to get it.
If you can't differentiate between the two...well, I bet your art dealer is
a happy camper.

I didn't know that you were the spokesperson for billiard collectors. This
may appeal to someone who is into rare movie posters and couldn't care less
about pool. Or maybe you just don't know what you are talking about and it
will appeal to a collector of things billiards. That's the point of an
auction, anyone can win.

No one is going to buy your Frog re-release -- or your other dreck -- at
the prices you put on them. Like a typical billiard player, all you want
to do is steal. And it looks to me that it was you that bought all baloney
about how special this poster is, getting stuck owning this white elephant
in the first place. You should put it back in your closet, only this time,
get your self some glue, because all it's worth is about the price of a good
wall paper.
Anyway, thanks for the auction alert. Reading your "Buy It Now" price was
worth a good laugh.

I really like the poster, Deno. I recently got a chance to view the DVD of
"The Hustler" which had trailers explaining the making of the movie. Mike
Massey displayed how some of the shots in the movie were done.
I looked around for that poster and found this. "Description: (1961) An
up-and-coming pool player plays a long-time champion in a single high-stakes
match. Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie, George C. Scott, Myron
McCormick. Dir. Robert Rossen. Great film from the 60's. (French) Folded 1982
Re-release."
I don't know what "Folded 1982 Re-release" means.
Have you had a chance to check out the DVD yet? It shows a minute or two of
the French version with the music and credits, which was kind of cool!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I hope you get what you're looking for.
"L'Arnaqueur" is is definitely a collectible (IMO). Wish I had some extra
jellybeans laying around because I'd buy it. I know EXACTLY where I'd hang it
in my house, too! :>)
BTW, I got the ORIGINAL of TCOM poster when the movie first came out from a
good friend. Oddly, mine has the words "NEWMAN" and "CRUISE" in gray. Most of
the other posters I have seen show these words in red. Odd, huh?

the most rare and the originals. Everyone under the sun has the poster
with the names in red. I hope you have it linnen backed and out of any
direct sunlight.
The French re-release of The Hustler was in 1982. It was not a
blockbuster event and there weren't many posters made. Posters from
the 1960s original release are ubiquitous and can be had in good shape
between $200-$1000. The fact that Lou cited a poster that was mass
produced, and a different poster, to claim that mine has no value is so
funny I still chuckle about it. But then again, I can see where he is
coming from given that his Ginacue is worth $65 because it's a cue, and
there are other cues that sell for that much. I get it now.
Large movie posters were folded, not rolled. Getting the fold marks
out requires linnen backing, or some sort of mounting (not recommended.
However, doing so can be risky and they may not come out.

You once told me you had a "Johnston City" poster in your collection and I
said., "If you ever get tired of it, let me know -- I might be
interested." THAT was the total extent of our discussion. A couple of
years later, your shill puts it up for auction (while you act as though you
know nothing about the poster), and it turns out not to be a Johnson City
poster at all, but something else entirely, which I wasn't even marginally
interested in, other than to later note your deception.
Same for the Chas case -- I told you I thought his asking price was high,
but we were still able to come to a deal. It was certainly not a complaint,
since the guy worked with me on the price and I ended up with a beautiful
case. But of course, as is becoming more and more frequent here, you just
make shit up when you end up cornered on your bs.
deno, I don't want anything of yours and certainly would never deal with a

You lied about having a Johnston City poster.
You lied when you acted uninvolved while your shill put the poster up for
sale.
And you lied about my interest in it.
You lied about the Chas case and are too stupid to realize that I've
probably shown it to over three dozen people on the group and you a lone are
claiming I complained about it.
You lied about having heart and proved it when you wouldn't give me a 50%
spot at your game, while I offered the same percentage at mine.
When desperate, you lie even more, making up unnamed sources, and lying
about me and also Joe.
And probably the only reason you're pissed right now is because -- besides
being a compulsive liar caught with your pants down -- you can't sell your
junk at the stupid prices you're asking and everyone can see the little
emperor has no cloths on.
And yet, for all your claims about being sooo smart, you get sucked into
buying a rusted out breadbox of a death trap to drive your wife and baby
girl around in because you're too cheap to put them in a safe vehicle,
preferring at their cost, peril and comfort to perpetuate your image as an
eccentric. What did the salesman tell you, Deno? That it was a "rare"
vehicle? That it was one of the "most sought" after VW microbuses? That it
was "highly collectable"?
I feel sorry for you, but especially for your family :-( and I only hope
your over inflated ego and pathological lying doesn't end up harming them.

prices. You can think whatever you want, but I remember thinking to myself
"what a nit." As far our almost game man, if you didn't make such as ass of
yourself claiming to play close to me, then you would have had your spot.
However, once a nit always a nit. You have got 10 on 50 anytime you get the
beer nuts again to think you play close to me. As far as a 50% game at one
pocket, you never offered. I told you that I will take 10-5 for whatever
amount you want to come up here with. You are the one without the heart,
even though you play close to me. My family rides around in a Mercedes
Benz, not the old VW which was my toy. If people don't buy the stuff I have
for sale at the price I want to get, I don't care. I know what I would sell
it for and I wouldn't take a penny less. If you don't like it, too bad, go

You asked for 10-5, I said you got it:.
#57 "Come to St. Louis and you got 10-5."
Then you specified that it had to be in Chicago (I also suppose it'll have
to be at your room, on your table, huh?) saying:
#58 "Come to Chicago and I'll take it, and make it worth your trip."
So I told you that I had just been in Chicago, but would let you know the
next time I would be there:
#59 "I was just there a couple of weeks ago. I'll let you know."
So what's your malfunction? What part of that did you not understand?
You've got 10-5, in Chicago, and I take it you want to bet high, because you
said:
#61 " I don't mind losing a few jars of jellybeans..."
And as far as eBay is concerned, once you make a post here to alert the

The reserve is just a little more than the opening price for the auction,
which is slightly less than it is worth. lou can't comprehend this sort of

A friend of mine is currently selling a collection of assorted older cue sticks

1. I haven't been to Chicago, since THIS summer, when I made you the offer,
and
2. I did come up for the RSB thing, in OCT of 2003, almost a year before,
you schmuck.
So the bottom line, as much as you'd like to sweep in under one of your
over-priced carpets is: Deno is a liar... a bad liar... but a liar,
nonetheless.
You claim not to care what I have to say about your auctions, but yesterday
your panties were all in a bunch, ranting that it was none of my business.
And all know about you is what everybody else here knows about you: that
you are a blow hard no-heart magenta wearing lying 3C player who loves to
perpetuate his self-image as an eccentric and rip people off with overpriced
second rate billiard junk.

Now IF I had to hazard a guess about what this is all about, I'm going guess
that there is a site called something like "nineball.com" with a discussion
board or chat room where she's taken umbrage at something someone has posted
and she believes it is me operating under an alias.
But that that's just a guess. Otherwise, she's just being her same old

After hearing about your act from the homeboys in St. Louis, "rant" seems a

Keep guessing, Pal. Never said it was you. I was giving a heads-up for the
trolls who seek to hide their identity by acquiring an e-mail account from a
nine-ball-dot-com-type website, as is customary on RSB.
AND as I posted previously, in the words of The Washington Post, if you don't

a rant, though. But it does make one wonder about your boy's history of
being barred from various pool halls across the country, for some very
colorful deeds.
Anywhos, I continued to play there out of loyalty to the owner, who passed
away several years ago. The wife and kids took it over and about a year
ago, and when I finally complained about how bad their tables were playing
(to say nothing of the fact that I had to buy my own set of balls because
theirs were never cleaned and filthy; that if I wanted a table cleaned I had
to brush it myself: and that there would be debris and food all over their
carpet for weeks at a time) they asked me to leave.
Now if you want to hear about a rant, I can tell you all about the owner's
son stomping out of the pool hall, after crying to mommy about how mean Lou
was to him ;-)
In any case, that was almost a year ago, and it was the best thing that ever
happen to my pool game. But it is good to see you, like you "buddy in art"
Deno, are still in the anonymous sources business.
Oh, and thanks for the explanation, though what you did still makes no

When getting beat upon, Lou, rather than taking your lumps like a man, you have
a tendency to attack your enemy's loved ones, instead of going right for the

Another one of your trademark embellishments, Lou? The way you come down on
people in this NG with your negative and pessimistic responses, I wouldn't want
the likes of you hanging out in any pool room I owned. Good riddance, I say!
You're a miserable crabcake.

Take your best shot, Pal. This is what makes RSB NG unique, thanks to its --
how did you put it again, Lou? -- VETERAN posters.
Personally, I'd rather spend my time today enjoying the Christmas spirit.
We're off to a local nursing home to trim a Christmas tree in Chevy Chase. A
couple of the old-timer residents there enjoy playing pool on the in-house
Gandy. The "pool player with a history," as you labeled him, is going to spend
the day there hanging out and spreading the Christmas cheer to a few kindred
souls.

Four feet is 48 inches, and five and a half feet is 66 inches. Maybe you should
consult a dictionary for the meaning of the word "approximately."

47" x 65" could reasonably be termed "giant" for a poster. The average poster is
approximately (there's that word again) 27" x 40".
How substandard does your English have to be to use a construct such as "how
small of a midget"? Oh, wait -- I didn't notice your last name. Sorry.

face if you ordered a $4,000 cue that was supposed to be 19 oz 13mm 58"

That's why I listed the inches first. The extra inch on each side is made
up by the linnen backing, which is larger than the poster.

I guess a pretty small midget.

>In my dictionary approximately means almost exact.
"Almost" is a relative term; as such, without context, it is essentially
meaningless. By most ordinary standards, 47/48 or 65/66 are plenty close enough
to be termed approximately equal, especially when the issue is continuous,
rather than discrete, data.

Racist? Hardly, since I suspect we're predominantly the same race. I chalk it up
to having been coerced into spending today's lunch hour in the local
IRA-supporting Irish pub, which always leaves a bad taste in my mouth (despite
the Guinness or Murphy's).

No bids, but it did have quite a number of views according to the counter so
there was at least some interest in the item. If the poster is as valuable as
he claims it is then perhaps the timing of his auction may have hurt him
somewhat as it is currently the Christmas season and lots of folks are broke.
Perhaps Deno should try to run the auction again in a few weeks... mid- to late
January possibly... and see if he gets a "nibble" then, quoting you.
