Do you guys ever wonder who the buyers are? It's insane to me that there are so many people willing to spend so much money on movie posters, let alone single lobby cards.Who are these people?T
Many congratulations Tait & Mondo. A pleasure seeing what you got. They found an excellent new home.
I don't think there are any naysayers on this thread. Just questions asked, and Tait answered mine. Thank you.T
A fairly good number of the OS were also passed on, I think, for that same reason, too, Louie. The opening bid amounts were just too high.
I picked up a bit of sentiment against lobbycards/unknown old movies compared to the usual collector tastes. If it was not there nor intended, my bad. Another answer to the question who buys these things is of course: "old guys".
Thanks Rosa!! I actually really screwed up my bidding strategy...I really wanted the Neighbors and Sherlock Jr. Cards...I was underbidder on 6 Keaton cards...and 10 lots total...sooo I didn't really spend nearly as much as I thought I would...absentee bidding...I get what I deserve....everything today was just random consolation prizes
Profiles wasn't clear if the $1.9 million was just the hammer or after BP...they clearly separate those numbers on the auction results PDF ....and keep them separate for a reason.....heritage lists all results after BP in post auction results... 3 million for the entire collection last year is starting to seem like a better deal...regardless of the extra work or time
it was 6mil
This German poster, for the 1929 German film, Manolescu - Der König der Hochstapler, and featuring a striking image of Brigitte "Metropolis" Helm, sold for $799.00, on the bay yesterday.
Beautimous! thanks for sharing.
