well you can't argue the seller's line of reasoning on this one:

"Buying this poster is ECONOMY PROOF! Why waste your money in the stock market? It can crash regardless of any decision you make and can even crash regardless of any decision made by the company related to the stock - Leaving you with a near worthless piece of paper that won't inspire anyone! [mind you this is the stock certificate we're talking about] With the purchase of an historic document such as this Trip To The Moon, it doesn't matter what happens to the economy, you will still have the inspirational document which can be displayed and enjoyed. The magnificence of art and historic documents have an inherent value that relates to civilization and society. Unless civilization itself crashes then this piece will hold its value and if civilization itself crashes - Who will care about money? This poster is definitely ECONOMY PROOF!" [emphasis added]

[erik1925]

He says that about almost everything he sells... they are all economy-proof.   

[ps.]

you know, i almost have a problem believing him now that you say that. lol

[Mirosae]

Yep, let's get back to Mr. Bogart. 

Neo, well put... I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship... 

[paul waines]

Of all the threads on all the forums, you had to post that in mine....   


Post it Sam,......... you posted it for her, now post it for me....

[FightClub12]

I do not think anyone with the power to remove it is going to do so.

To whomever has the power:
Give it to me, and I'll do what you shoulda did 10 minutes ago..




 

K back to Bogart, momentarily.

Mint condition right there, folks. Mint. Condition.

The posters are in mint condition still in the original box-roll where they came.

Lot of crybabies 'round these parts.

Yes and I will add to the river of tears.

It is early but I must make my concession speech. It is already clear that I will not be getting the two posters I REALLY wanted in Bruce's auctions tonight. Grats to the guys or gals who do.

That is sad Zorba. Have people no kindness in their hearts? Those posters may be destined to become kitty tray liners after the wife finds out about their purchases.

Cruel bastards! 

The beauty of poster collecting is that it can be enjoyed 24/7 all across the entire globe. I think I may go grab something I have been watching from a BIN ebay bin or maybe from some international source to get me fix. Yeah no matter how hard I try to save for the big buy I need to feed.

Never look back baby.

This 30x40 City Lights has picked up 50 watchers and several bidders after just 2 days with 8 days to go.  What is it?  It's some kind of re-release because 20th Century Fox was not formed until 1935, four years after the original 1931 release.  I can't find a previous sale.

[Ari]

The tagline also is a reissue giveaway

[ddilts399]

I'm guessing the 50 rerelease

could be wrong, but my guess would be that it's an indian poster:

no idea of the year, but if you look at a 70s indian re-release, you'll notice that it shares: a) the tagline, b) typography of 'city lights' and c)crediting the director/writer as charlie, not charles:

That was exactly my thought process and conclusion... including finding the past eMovie Indian sale for comparison.  I'd guess 50s/60s Indian. 

[Bruce]

You can tell that Indian paper from a mile away. An earlier re-release than the other, but it screams 1960s to me.

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

Other than being rolled, how do we know this is a reprint?  Quick, earn your poster geek gold star....

[Harry Caul]

No folds
Bottom border is missing (probably undersized printing)
No registration marks in the corners
Presumably no stamp on the back

There are probably more tells, but I stopped reading the listing after seeing that it was rolled.

Credits text color bluer than it should be?
