When my mouth dropped open, that's when the ass't gallery manager said the owner had it priced so that it wouldn't likely sell --he likes it way too much, apparently.
But this little gallery had MANY posters they were selling.. OS, HS, inserts, 40x60s and 30x40s. Some linen backed, some not. The bulk of the stuff was from the mid-late 50s, 60s, and some from the early 70s. A huge % were more "throw away" titles. This place was having a
sale... and the cheapest thing being offered were inserts.. I went thru a tub of them.. many unfolded, so that was cool.
But the price of ANY insert, regardless of the title, was $100.00. OS were 3-500.00 each, again,
on sale! Some 40x60s were priced as high as 3500-4000.00. Again, not for any title that would ever get that at auction. (The gallery primarily sells higher end, 19th antiques and paintings, so this really explains their pricing).
