Not sure that craigslist is considered an auction per se and didn't think this needed its own thread (apologies if I was wrong), but came across this in my local craigslist:

Original, 1967 large french version Cool Hand Luke movie poster - $2400

Am leaving the country for a new job & selling my things.
My favorite movie, maybe one of yours too.
What we have here is... An original, 1967, very large, numbered, professionally backed at a cost of more than $1,000, French version Cool Hand Luke movie poster. Poster purchased in Paris, poster backed by John Annesley, California.
The poster alone cost $1,800.
The poster has not one flaw, the color is rich and beautiful, the backing is flawless.
Height 61 inches, 46 wide
$2,400 Firm.

Would that be considered a 6-sheet? Are those typically numbered? Is it normal to be mounted on a wood frame like that? Thought it was a nice poster, but nothing I could afford. Was just curious.

It's a very common size - Thierry hates "French Grande", (63" x 47") It looks like the border is not there or folded back. I cant really make out the reverse side, but it looks to me like it is mounted on linen and stapled over the frame. That might explain the backing cost as it would have to include that frame for that price. I wouldn't want it, because it looks trimmed and I cant determine what restoration was done to it and it seems attached to the frame... maybe the linen buckled and then got mounted?... Not sure about the numbering, but there wouldn't be a unique number for every poster of the printing press.

Thanks. I was also curious about the border. Almost looks like one of those canvas prints to me. I've never seen a LB'd poster, so I wasn't sure if the backside pic was showing wood or linen. Definitely a poster for a loft or such (imo), given the size.

Hey Steve and Mike.. Just checked. It has not been trimmed. Looks to be a full bleed poster with no white border. Here's a copy Bruce sold back in Sept, 2012 for $415.00.

And what a great looking image, too!! :

Sweet. Thanks, Jeff.

Here's the place that seller mentions taking the poster to be backed and stretched onto that custom art panel. A cool looking site and company, too.

As mentioned, I find this image fantastic. I would take this over the US OS in a heartbeat.

This 1P kicks some major butt, IMO.

yep.. they handled it as if it was an oil painting and the linen has been stretched over a frame or what is more properly called a stretcher. Is not uncommon and I have bought posters handled this way before. We don't like it for posters, but there is nothing wrong with it

Found this odd: a double-sided vinyl banner with different titles on each side? I've never heard of that. Anyone?

Why is Schindler's List over $2000? Seriously, did the demand for that poster all of the sudden go through the roof? It hasn't been a year since I recall asking the same question as to why it went over a grand.

Bruce · « **Reply #3916 on:** March 06, 2013, 11:21:23 PM »

It went over $2,000 last time too.

This is standard for current disney releases. They sent a 'banner holder' to theaters and swap in new banners every so often. When the one on the front comes out, you simply turn the display around... I have a Toy Story 3 adv banner with some crappy teen flick on the back.

This one looks like it 'disappeared' early...

I give up... It ain't worth that much and I am sure it will go higher. Twice now this poster escapes me. I mean why not save and go after the orange one?

And stupid money for the third printing?
