I did attempt to find the best example of each and do that one first, but it was easier said than done, because they arrived in a gigantic jumble.

Time to upgrade, I would say.

Too late, I already backed it (along with Matt's)... This one would have been an easier one to do It's sometime hard to find the right paper... Maybe I should buy this one and trim the paper out of it...

Sorry for outing the auction, but if anyone is looking for a sweet "stone-litho" Portal reproduction for Frankenstein, here is one going for 10k.

PRICE DROP to $375 opening bid!

I sent this seller a note, and also sent him a link to a copy that Bruce sold last October for $39.00 (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/3620776.html)

I guess someone might bite at $375.00; you never know. $:-\$

The seller did write back, was gracious and thankful for the info, so that was cool, too.

That is a crazy price for a portal publication.

I bought one of those Frankies off the bay last year for $10.
Wtf is with people, anyways?

Interesting choice to put these particular character images on this later re-release quad for Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943). How did they get this so wrong? And I wonder how Universal would have OK'd this layout before it was printed?

Instead of using Lugosi's Frankenstein Monster and Chaney's Wolf Man, they used an image of Karloff as Mr Hyde, from Abbot and Costello Meet Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (Universal 1953), and Glenn Strange as the monster from House of Frankenstein (Uni, 1944).

If nothing else, at least it helps to date the poster, as post-1953.

Currently up for auction: start bid - $900 or BIN: $1,000.00

Someone will double their money fast on that lot

archie leach · « **Reply #4213 on:** April 11, 2013, 02:26:40 AM »

Or not...

I'd be willing to bet that most all of the key titles have been cherry picked...

Ari · « **Reply #4214 on:** April 11, 2013, 03:05:08 AM »

Perhaps if they were 5 or 10 cents a poster.

ddilts399 · « **Reply #4215 on:** April 11, 2013, 09:23:41 AM »

$5,000 would be too much to pay for that lot. Bulk lots look great at first sight, but once you start working through them and try to turn them over, you need to be in it at the right price unless you are purely buying for your own collection. At 17,000 there is no money to be made on that one.

Bruce · « **Reply #4216 on:** April 11, 2013, 09:38:42 AM »

I'd say $1 per poster would still be too much, unless it is full of good titles, although it is more likely to have next-to-no good titles, in which case 10 cents per poster would still be too much.

wonka · « **Reply #4217 on:** April 11, 2013, 10:18:11 AM »

Post-Star Wars, Blade Runner, etc...make this a tough gamble.

Not sure how many All Dogs Go To Heaven even Bruce could move to be worth the time and hassle.
