Ride the Wild Surf WC

[rdavey26]

Does anyone know what the value might be on a window card for the movie Ride the Wild Surf?

Surprisingly this is one mighty rare poster! We have auctioned lots of one-sheets, three-sheets. six-sheets, lobby cards and stills, and a few half-sheets. but only one insert and NO window cards!

The sky's the limit, I say. because in this case MANY MANY years can go by without this poster coming up for sale!

I picked one up for $56.00 which I think was a fair price. I am thinking though that it would go for a lot more. I bought it from a guy here locally that his dad use to own a theater in a small town here in the state. He went on to tell me that his dad had a barn that was full of theater memorbilia but the town bull dozed the barn. Makes you wonder what could have been in that barn.

Here is one that sold at Heritage for $66 - so your $56 seems to be in the ballpark

Great WC, Randy.
I've posted this before, but as a former beach bum, Jan & Dean have a special place in my heart.
Check out the cast closeups during the surfing clips...hilarious...

Funny, the only other surf tune in the film was "Surfer's Stomp" by the Marketts.  I thought there were more...

Ya I seen that on Heritage as well. However I think it could go for a little more. I know I have not seen to many of them.

Just a word of caution - rarity or scarcity does not necessarily equate with value

That said, you never know what will happen until you try to sell it

[rdavey26]

Oh I do not plan on selling it. I am going to keep it.

Your discussion/questions on "value" lead me to believe otherwise 

Enjoy it!

LOL    No I am just wondering its value so I have some rough idea of what my collection is worth.

NEVER try to figure that out.  It leads to insanity.

LOL I lost count on it already. To many to keep track of.
