Mid-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....

[erik1925]

There're actually TWO laminated inserts in that auction, the other being for the 1928 Universal flick, Good Morning Judge... so it's a two'fer offer. 

[Silhouette]

Placemats

[Ari]

actually, there is another type of lamination, where the glue or whatever it is is ONLY on the parts where the paper isn't (around the edge).
I had a long daybill which was like this.
 I removed myself. It got restored and now lives in one of our favourite collectors house.

laminated lobby cards do make great place mats though, and a 2F or 2p would be a good table cloth, and 24sheets can be fashioned into a marquee for an outdoor wedding. just some ideas..

[ozcinemagic]

Can you imagine someone with a Stanley knife spending hours trying to pry around and under the edge of 8 lobby cards?
That was me! 

[Silhouette]

Buy up a pile of sets of Mexican lobby cards, mount them on a board, laminate and sell them at Paddington Market as placemats for the nouveau riche; colourful and different and a good use for them. Now where to get cheap Mx LCs...

[Ari]

its a good idea, sell to a Tex mex restaurant even....??

[CSM]

its a good idea, sell to a Tex mex restaurant even....??

But as David said where can we possibly find some Mex-i-can lobbies?  Hmmm...

[Silhouette]

I know, where oh where oh where...

I have a feeling this might be worth about £999 less than the seller thinks...

whatever the value, the real comment should be how the guy doesn't know what the top platic is: it's the protective film that such items are shipped with to prevent scratching the surface. You just peel it off

Or it could be worth a great deal more:

[skyjackers]

I would agree if the condition was similar but I'm not sure you can save that one unfortunately.

[crowzilla]

If what Rich stated is correct (and that could very well be the protective plastic), there is nothing it needs saving from.

[CineMasterpieces]

Rich could be right, it could be protective film. Impossible to tell from here. It is possible though that it is NOT protective film and that it is ruined. Why? If it is a lenticular made of thick layered plastic, then why does he have heavy tile bricks weighing it down? Lenticulars should be flat. You really can't or shouldn't even try to roll one of these. Maybe it was rolled at some point and the layers started to separate because of it. Just a theory.

[MoviePosterBid.com]

i have a rolled lenticular of that size in my warehouse
aside from being difficult to flatten out, it is unharmed and my warehouse is hot in the summer, cold in the winter.

I'm sure it would be correctable though it may take some time

I'm also  certain the ebay poster was rolled of course and that's the reason the film is coming off in some spots already, but I'm equally certain the lenticular layers have not separated. the bubbled surface would have some image if that was the case.

doesn't mean I couldn't be wrong, but I believe someone who drives over to his place and examines it willd rive away with a bargain priced item

[CSM]

So...

Do ya feel lucky?

[skyjackers]

Sorry, didn't read Rich's post. I hope he's right though.

I believe I am Skyjack..

[erik1925]

I wrote and asked the seller about his Attack of the Clones bus stop lenticular.

He wrote me back & said it is not the thin protective film that could be peeled off, but rather is the top plastic layer of the poster itself that has separated in spots and now has that bubbled appearance.   

[skyjackers]

Me too, he said he took it to a print shop and they told him it could be removed with the application of some heat!?! Not sure I'd want to risk it but it would depend if I paid £1000 or £1 I guess.

[paul waines]

Well, I don't think anyone would pay £1000, so it's the Quid .....bring on the blow-torch..

From the description: "The poster is in good condition and may have edgeware."

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321149236852&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123




I think the edgewear may be the least of your worries!

Quick outing auctions!  You punk...   

Actually, I may just have to bid on this for bragging rights.  Now correct me if I am wrong but I don't remember those two girls anywhere in the movie...
