Unicorns

[MoviePosterBid.com]

yeah but Bruce.. the WOTW hs has been sold repeatedly in the last 5 years.. the Potter poster has apparently not been seen before. Not even by you, who has sold some 6 trillion posters!

also, Holiday moved my post from Mid-auction because I did indeed go too far. I should have realized the poster should have been in Unicorns without any promo. so I have placed it here so.

not that the WOTW doesn't belong here also.. by itself

How bizarre is that, that a new poster can be seen so much less than a classic like WOTW.

I think I know 5 copies of WOTW that have been sold in the past 2 years, not sure if that is repeatedly or not.  Is it really a unicorn, or is it just really expensive?

I'd say that's repeatedly and I guess what is a Unicorn may depend on definition.. I think that if 20 or less are known to exist, it is a Unicorn.. I don't know how many WOTW style B exist

[crowzilla]

Has to be more than 20. I doubt I've seen 25% of the population trade hands in the last 2 years.

sorry Bruce.. it isn't a Unicorn.. just a horse with a fake horn glued to it's head

*but it is still an Arabian White

I think it t'was me with the reference to a Thai/Intl angle for this Harry Potter poster. It's not the same poster tho, it's only single sided and approx. 27 1/2" x 39 1/2". The difference I spotted is that this one has more of the image round the sides of the poster (note how much space is on the right of Hagred)...



This is only the auction photo, but when it arrives I'll take a better one and see if there's any legitimacy issues with it!

Better pull out your checkbook big boy 'cause this one is not going for cheap.

Ian, actually if you look at the Thai poster, it has more image on left & right by an inch or so and maybe 1/4-1/2 inch on top as well. This is explained easily as when designing the posters, they aren't always laying out the same images the same way and also proportions are different in 27x40 & 27.5x29.5, even if only slightly. But I assure you, the poster I show in this thread is a US printed International, final version.

However, because we do know that most places Internationally used the Philosopher's Stone title, the question becomes:
1) was this poster a mistake and not distributed
2) was it distributed and if so where

I don't know, so maybe Marlawd does and can shed light.. or will after the auctions.

Sorry if it seemed I was knocking this auction, not at all, I only decided to comment because I'd been looking into a few Harry Potter posters and thought it might be of interest that there was another version out there (with the slightly increased amount of image showing etc etc). I like the unearthing of little known / (very) rare posters and trying to track down the stories behind them.

* Holiday, I think I just realised why your comeback was so friendly and inviting... did you think I was talking about when I won the HP poster in the MPB auction? If so you got it slightly wrong, I was actually talking about the Intl Thai version I found on ebay (and posted a picture of) which I just purchased

[MoviePosterBid.com]

I didn't think you were running anything down Ian.. 
and Holiday means "Yeah.. try and win this poster while I'm around!"

Just trying to watch me p's and q's

Yeah I was pretty sure Holiday was preparing the ground for auction commencement, it should go for pretty penny but can't believe it'll be higher than the Hagrid version!

  Well, the only reason Hagrid sold for what it did was because of Rattler and I.  The bidding pretty much peaked out at 125.  Which I think is a fair price, but Rattler ran me up to 280 and Rattler ended up prevailing.  The closer it got to 300 the less I wanted it.  

  Rich and his damn free Pulp Fiction posters has me sucked into his auction site.  I feel like I owe him one, which will probably cost me two..

I don't know as well! I imagine it was a poster that wasn't used. I already have the "Philosopher's Stone" version one sheet which I don't think was widely used either. I paid $30 for that one a week or two ago and whilst I may bid on Rich's "alternative title" offering I have little interest in pushing it to the price level of the last HP poster he sold.

I would hope not.  Completely different art versus a one-word difference shouldn't command the same premium.  But, on Any Given Wednesday....

What did the HP go for in the end? The last time I saw it'd reached $151.

[Bruce]

Was it more or less than the Bueller?

[Harry Caul]

Well, out with it man... what did it sell for! 

[MoviePosterBid.com]

[Harry Caul]

Thanks!

Cheers MPB... good price, am interested to see if any others turn up now.
