It's definitely an awesome card.

Beyond the price I worry about the buyer letting it be shipped for $3

In mid-May, Jim Gresham had his DRACULA (R51) move on to a new home. It sold for $3,000.00.

**Edit. Removed the WERWOLF OF LONDON sale info, as the buyer flaked, after doing a BIN. Thanks, Matt.

French 1P for WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935), sold a few days ago by Jim Gresham for $8999.00. Congrats, Jim!
This is some spectacular artwork of Henry Hull as the werewolf, without a doubt.

This was sold, but the guy flacked out. Dont deal with Phil from England.

Hi Harry,

I saw, too, that Jim mentioned a buyer that flaked (Phil in england). When i saw Jim's post-sale notation that the poster had sold, then the buyer had backed off (on a closed item), I thought that referred to a previous fall thru sale. I didnt think ebay postings could be amended or added to, after an auction/BIN was completed.

Let me amend and remove that, if I can, so there is no confusion.

Re-post:

Update. Jim Gresham did, in fact, sell his WEREWOLF OF LONDON Fr 1P on ebay, on the second go around. The comment about the UK flake buyer was from a previous, unrelated sale that buckled. (the double post about this withdrawn sale caught my eye).

So, once again, congrats to Jim G on a wonderful sale!!

Chris,

Benito has one, too.. it's just a little more pricey.

I asked Jim and he said that Phil, the flake buyer from the UK, was a prior deal done outside of ebay, before he listed it there.

Bride of Frankie goes for $8K:

If the purchaser of this card is a forum member and would like to make a quick dime, I will pay $9100 for this card.

Did you miss the auction Sean? Or just not bid high enough?

That would be a nice turnaround flip. Unfortunately, I don't have a floating $8,100 lying around for cards like this

Relative rare Carmen Jones 1945 1S sold today. (My bid was too low). It's a pretty cool poster but it's mainly valuable because very few mainstream posters from the 40s/50s featured a black actor/actress:

Did he do the orange version? This article says he designed this poster and the title sequence based on that poster:

clearly the author is wrong unless he's only referring to the title

I've always known the auctioned poster as the one by Bass.

Is that the only card from the set with Atwill's vampire blob in the fish tank?
