The majority of collectors though, T, don't even look at poster forums.And most of the high end collectors don't have the time to mess around on them as they're too busy making money or have better things to do lol.
An incomplete 24 sheet for The Searchers, sold for $5000.00 USD. The bottom panels are missing. It came by way of Lebanon. http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-24-sht-Huge-Movie-Poster-INCOMPLETE-The-SEARCHERS-John-Wayne-104-x232-1956-/350904259475?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51b3861393&nma=true&si=4cIrX7uWhPHg0Ik6a7W2EwDrQxI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Remind me never to rob a bank with you!
Aw come on Matt had a 99.2% chance of being right anyways
It's missing a lot of artwork on the left border, probably at least $400 to repair. (Look at the bird and tree in the left center - look likes it's missing a couple of inches there).Linen-backed versions of this go for $1000 or so, so maybe not that profitable to repair:
Maybe it's not about the profit, maybe owning it and saving it is all that matters to the new owner; besides it's hard to see how the new owner will lose long term.
