Pretty surprising as it was available on ebay in unbacked condition all last year for $240k.
it is very obvious - Heritage is the best venue for such sales. They doubled the asking price of the owner, who will get at least $320k for his poster, unless he worked some other deal that HA would get a lower percentage of the take.
who cares if Heritage gets 20% and the BP if they can do this?
there's no 'apples and oranges' here. There's apples, oranges....... and Heritage
not convinced yet?
I sold a number of items in the auction and the results?
they sold 2 lobby cards I had priced at $100 each for $380 hammer. I get 285, more than my 200 price and I offer discounts
they sold an item for $190 hammer that I had priced at $125
they sold an item for $240 hammer I had priced at $149 on my website
a title card for $525 hammer than I had priced at $375
apples and oranges nothing.. This is pure gold as far as I'm concerned
