I found this one, which is definitely Japanese with similar art.

[crowzilla]

Japanese love to use English in their advertising - be in movie posters, train ads or on television.
This is a B1 poster, a size only the Japanese use.
It's a Japanese advance, made to display in Japan.

[Hicks77]

it could be a Japanese export poster, or even one of those non-theatre Japanese posters. Is there an Eirin mark?

This links to the same image but not from the auction listing so I don't know what the dimensions are.  There isn't an Eirin mark.

Why would the Japanese make an export poster of an English movie? Where are they exporting it to?

you have spoken to me about Japanese export posters haven't you?
the guy was describing it as a Japanese poster and I have no other idea why that could be.
Of course, you know better than anyone that Japanese posters are not my area of expertise

It is in the Japanese bond poster book as well. Have seen this a few times.

Interesting.  Since the B1 I mentioned is in the Bond poster book, per Dale, that means it was definitely used for theater display, despite its lack of an Eirin mark?

Hideyuki, aka movieposter-japan! on eBay, has a lot of exploitation Japanese posters up for auction.

Pretty rad Japanese B1, with the silhouettes of these Bond babes, and the early 80s neon colors.

It sold for about $700.

Cough!

Just finished checking Heritage upcoming Sig auction.  Some great stuff there, but most of what I want is linenbacked  so I'll pass on a lot of stuff, almost everything really, which is alright since I'll be skiing all weekend. 

The few that I still want to get... hoping I can get some signal from the slopes...

A lot of interesting stuff at Heritage.  From the popular titles like Casablanca, to the more obscure from the 1910s, etc.   

The auctioneer has a few tidbits of info., mixed in with his commodian skit.   


T, how is the snow wherever you are this time of the season?

[eatbrie]

I'm in Mammoth for the weekend.  Great snow.  At lunch right now, but I did manage to win two things this morning.  Reception was spotty at best but it worked.  I went by numbers and tried to figure out when my numbers would pop up without checking the phone.  I was pretty accurate, even though I did miss out on a dozen other items.  Priorities, right?

Good to hear that Mammoth Mountain has good snow.  Congrats on the wins.

I mean if you aren't going to sell something you might as well not sell it for 50% more than the record price it just sold for.

Maybe he will take a best offer of $260K..

wow.. here's a dynamite piece

Heritage selling a 1918 24-sheet for Over the Top, a classic war film.

this is really a great design

[wormie]

This is an R76 Peter Pan right? http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=4583019

I do not have any duplicates for most of my posters, but I do have three R76 and three R69 and one R58, in similar or better shape. I probably will let all of them go for that price. 

[erik1925]

A BIN of $16,000.00 for 177 B/W stills from The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

Is this a good deal? Or way too high? I don't have a clue.

[jayn_j]

That's $90/still.  Good film, but way too high.

[erik1925]

Thanks, Jay. I never thought to quickly do the math. At that per photo price, it becomes much clearer: WAY too high.

And yes, it's a really good movie, for sure.

[MoviePosterBid.com]

That's $90/still.  Good film, but way too high.

I think 90 is too high, but they are probably country of origin (seller is in Italy)

if Heritage had them, I think they would get 5-10k for the lot

[eatbrie]

Too many people bidding on posters is all I have to say.

Calm down people!!!
