RCP, just got the Supplement.

It has an updated section on Okito, some history and props on Thayer and a very nice picture set of Doc's collections. It shows his Okito room, Poster room, Main room and sitting room.

For years I wrote the column "What Is It?" in the great "Magicol" magazine.
If a collector had a piece they didn't know what it was, we would publish it and all the collectors would answer. It was a great column , but since Magicol was a quarterly magazine, it took about 9 months to get the answer. NOW I do it on my web page and it is quick. Also great collectibles are there for sale, on consignment. Check it out at http://www.oldmagicprops.com

Albo Volume VIII - Classic Magic Supplement came with no supplements.
It was merely a three post binder destined to house the only major three hole punched material Dr. Albo ever published:
Okito Time Line
Voisin Force book supplement
Thayer supplement

Hello Mr. Harris.
I could find no contact information on your oldmagicprops website to bring this to your attention privately so, in the spirit of being helpful, I must provide the following to you here:

You have two CTG lithographs listed for sale on your wesite @$550/per.
You have erroneously described them as 1-sheets and those two images were never released as 1-sheets.

What you have are two of his window cards printed by Otis of Cleveland.
If they have not been clipped, each window card will measure 14" x 22" and were printed on thicker card stock, not the usual thin paper used for posters.

A 1-sheet, printed in the USA, has nominal dimensions of 42" x 28".

Just trying to be of assistance so that you do not run into any trouble on their relative descriptions.
