A beautiful, rolled quad for ROSEMARY'S BABY?
Wouldn't surprise me to see it pop up on Ed209uk's Film On Paper site...
Eddie has more rolled quads than any collector I've seen.

That was my initial thought too, Ted! Hopefully Ed did snag it so I can lust over the nice high res images and an interesting write up on his site.

Ed_209uk · « **Reply #77 on:** December 07, 2011, 10:46:31 AM »

Ha! Good guess chaps

I couldn't really resist as it's a lovely poster and one that rarely shows up folded, let alone rolled. I particularly like the added detail of the cinema info in the bottom corner. Look for it on the site next year.

Great score Ed, beautiful poster and I think it was a really good price too. Looking forward to seeing it up on your site.

brude · « **Reply #79 on:** December 07, 2011, 02:46:51 PM »

Good for you, Ed!
Great movie and classic design in pristine condition.
I definitely prefer the landscape quad over the one-sheet for that image.

These are a couple of unfolded quads I bought in the Cameo auction this week, now safely contained in mylar pockets:-

Our Man In Havana (1958)

Anatomy Of A Murder (1959)

Lovely Mark. I particularly like the Our Man in Havana. Any ideas on the artist?

I knew you'd be at that auction!

BTW what was the condition like on the Taking of Pelham 123 quad? I considered bidding but forgot to ask for a condition report beforehand and it went way above what I was expecting.

That is a great score Ed. Have I ever told you that I love your site?

Way to go Mark. Both quads are excellent.

brude · « **Reply #83 on:** December 08, 2011, 07:48:23 PM »

I've never seen the quads for either of those titles.
Outstanding acquisitions, Mark!
Rolled to boot...WOW...

marklawd · « **Reply #84 on:** December 08, 2011, 07:55:17 PM »

Thanks guys. I'd have been in competition with Ed if I had seen that pristine Rosemary's Baby quad - one of my favourite films. Sorry, no idea of the artist on Our Man In Havana - it wasn't on my check list but they had put it on display in the window of the saleroom and the light made the colours really beautiful - it was an impulse buy. As usual, many of the posters in the sale had dreadful tears and tape stains - there was another unfolded Anatomy Of A Murder quad which sold for more than I paid for my better condition lot - there was an enormous rip and someone had written literally hundreds of words on the reverse - the winner of that lot will have a shock. I put a tick against the Taking of Pelham 123 in my catalogue which meant the condition was acceptable - I was going to upgrade my folded copy but the bidding went too high.

Ed and Mark, those are superior posters, IMO. Great examples and crazy rare in the conditions they bring.

Havana is off the wall cool, I would probably frame that one. Very nice to be sure.

it looks to me to be the artist Ray, who also is seen on many Belgian posters of the 50s-70s

here's one with Ray art

Ed_209uk · « **Reply #91 on:** April 03, 2012, 12:26:18 PM »

Not me guv! I couldn't believe how high it went in the end.

paul waines · « **Reply #92 on:** April 03, 2012, 12:38:45 PM »

I hope it's not a sign the recession is over, and prices are on the up....I like's prices on the down...

Casablanca (1942 US half Style B) - rolled, never folded, never LB'd - supposedly only three Style B halfs in the cosmos....

Zorba · « **Reply #94 on:** June 15, 2012, 10:28:23 PM »

Ill take four.

A German BAT 1S, a very unusual rolled double-sided poster from the 1960s, sold recently for an unknown price. (A few DS roadshow US one sheets with the same art also have survived.)

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #96 on:** September 02, 2012, 11:48:46 AM »

The very rare advance one sheet for Shaft's Big Score (1972) - I've seen a grand total of two for sale in four years - in even rarer rolled condition:

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #97 on:** March 24, 2013, 06:34:31 AM »

This is one of 10 rolled (not linenbacked) posters from the 1931 movie Phantom of the West that Heritage sold yesterday for $4,780. (On closer inspection a couple of them do appear to have folds, however).

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #98 on:** May 26, 2013, 11:14:16 PM »

Another rolled Jaws one sheet just sold for $1200 on HA.

P.S. Please do not call it "unfolded," an unbearable word that should die a horrible death!

It sure looks unfolded to me
