My first preference is to trade for titles currently M.I.A. from my collection. My interests, however, are not just limited to the Columbia shorts. In addtion to Columbia material wanted, you can find out my other video (and non-video) wants and interests by clicking HERE
Looking for NON-COLUMBIA shorts? I have compiled a list of other studio short-subjects I have in my collection. You can access that list HERE
If you have nothing to trade, and must have something from my collection, you can find out how you can obtain them by reading below.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VIDEO QUALITY
Due to the extreme rarity of several of the titles in our archives, the best available source has been used for our master copies. These are down & dirty raw transfers from hard-to-find original studio 35mm and 16mm rental prints, television and library prints, obscure video sources and copies obtained through private collectors. Please note that a certain amount of variance in picture quality is to be expected due to print wear, damaged prints and an odd glitch here and there.
All titles are sold on a "collector to collector" basis only. DVD's are shipped in plain sleeves, with no fancy packaging, no fancy menus, and no restoration...just ancient film shorts. Some titles do have flaws in them and we are constantly working with private collectors to upgrade our prints.
While quality does vary from title-to-title, it's our goal to offer the best and largest selection of these truly forgotten film classics.
