Was watching that Mad Love with interest. Seems many window cards for this film have turned up for some reason but little else on the title.

Nice that this one wasn't trimmed vertically!

Will the Drac 3S be a dud? Right now only 1/2 low estimate....

erik1925 · « **Reply #5879 on:** March 22, 2014, 01:24:47 PM »

Im sure the HA live, floor and phone bidders will give it some action.

It's not a post auction casualty yet.

Love the 1930s Japanese travel posters:

If I find out who wins Sullivan's Travels, I am admitting publicly I may try to steal it:

Did this one come from the Dewey bankruptcy auction in DC? Already over $2K high estimate:

At a $14K sale.... u might have to bust down a few doors to get to it.

Like the announcer said, it "captures the allure of Veronica Lake." Finished well above high estimate of $12K:

Someone did well snagging the TCAT 6 sheet for 1613.00 and change (inc the BP).

The good news (for me, at least) is that there are so many linenbacked pieces it really limits the amount of posters I am interested in. Case in point, this To Catch a Thief. If it had been folded, I would have gone for it.

this is why I do not have Strangers on a Train 1sh for my Chandler collection (I could care less if it was a Hitchcock)
every one I see is on linen, so I guess I'll pay a premium for a folded copy

$5,600 for a supposed second printing of Chelsea Girls:

And then $600.00 paid for a Blood Simple, 1985 OS.

Interesting.

Sorry to read this Keith. At least you tried! No idea who won it, sure it is an incredible poster

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #5895 on:** March 22, 2014, 04:09:26 PM »

Whut? $47,800, way over $20K estimate:

This wonderful and very large painting is the original artwork used to produce one of the most well known movie posters of the era. Standing 33" X 40", the painting was done by artist Mike Bryan using a large blueprint that produced a ghosted image from a photograph onto paper. The artist then used airbrush, ink and colored pencil to create the photo-realistic image seen.

It's called "original art."

A nice bid battle, for sure.

Only Angels Have Wings (Columbia, 1939). Insert $2,270.50 Sold to Mail/Fax?

by fax? That's a bit odd no?

The first guy was much better. He actually talked about the posters. She's just reciting numbers.
