Well made the trip up to Heritage. I have to say I these guys are pros at what they do. My first task was to arrive early and inspect the Dial M for Murder insert my main target. I had the catalog, a print out, and the poster on a table in front of me. None of them matched. The poster's color was superb, better than the cat or the computer. However both images poorly showed the piece of Scotch tape on one of the folds that was described nor the bleed through of a wax pencil described as smudges. After inspecting it in person and some discussion with my wife we decided to pass.
I would say that the guy helping was very friendly and polite and seemed to be in no hurry and wanted me to take my time all this an hour before the live auction. He asked if I was interested in anything else and I had two other Saturday targets and he gladly fetched thzm for viewing. Much to my surprise these were actually in much better condition than described. I will be bidding on both. We then went down for the live part to watch the Berwicks I met grey, very nice yet very professional and wished me luck. The Cimarron was a hot one with a room bidder as the underbidder. I loved how he held his number up until 90k, never putting it down when it started off at 30k... I tried to talk my wife into grabbing a low end Berwick but she didn't bite... I slammed the rest of my red bull and we left... I think the only way to buy $500+ posters is to go see them in person it made all the difference. I would have been pissed to drop that money on the dial m and then open it up... That's all for now, I hate typing on the kindle as I am in a hotel...
