haha .. Damn you and your reasonable math!!

[Filmlobbycards]

maybe the last 25-30 years Chris..
but you know what, 90% of what sells today in the hobby was considered detritus back then and alot of what is considered detritus now was considered top notch then..

And that's how it works...I remember when 1920's & 30's westerns and Shirley Temple were all the rage...well they seem to have an anemic quality lately...Some Tarzan posters have dipped lately too..In November 2011 I never saw so many mediocre results for Laurel and Hardy material..

Stooges material is way up (6 scene cards at heritage this July went for $8,900 each!!) and its nice to see some Jumbo Lobby Cards (Dr. Jekyll specifically) doing well...which personally I think are way undervalued for what they are!!

A 1938 Atlantic Pictures RR OS for The Bat Whispers (Joseph Schenck Prod, 1930).

Being offered for $3000.00 / OBO.

A lot of rippling near the top could suggest moisture or water damage of sorts. The description says the framed size is 34 x 36.5 inches. This must be a typo or this would almost be square shaped. I'm thinking the length is 46.5"

This uses the same art as one of the first release OS, with some slight alterations. Credit changes in the upper left corner and the "Greatest all talking thriller" text having been removed from above the image of the blonde and Chester Morris' placement shifted to compensate for that. Here's a (slightly cropped) OS image for comparison:

that Bat Whispers poster is either Kraft paper backed or even possibly backed on a board and is bubbling up

Now this is an interesting item.. with an opening bid of only $7.99. The item looks pretty calcified to me (hard water, maybe)...

I'm holding out for when he lists his rarer, albeit slightly smaller, 1927 Metropolis 1SH. Saving my pennies.

Employee #31?

Yes, these are more of the ones that I consigned to Bruce @ EMOVIEPOSTER.COM!!! WOOT WOOT!

Now, if only Bruce would hire me as the secret 31st employee he could pay me with in store credit and I could be happy with that.

This looks to be an Argentine hand bill done by distributor Max Glucksmann, for Frankenstein. From the seller's description: "I believe it to be Issued In Transylvania or another country that actually belived in the Frankenstein as being REAL." 

BIN for $230,000.00     OBO

One just sold on November 12th, for $99.00

Quite the price chasm, it seems.

You gotta figure (hope) that someone who can afford $230K on a poster has the smarts enough to check out whether $230K is a fair price, or pay someone else to do the checks for them...

it's the infamous Theo Holstein
I'm certain he knows that his description is a complete lie
I've known him from comics for 40 years and I refuse to do business with him.
I have one friend who keeps pushing me to offer art to Stu because he is very wealthy (family $) and my friend doesn't understand that someone having lots of money isn't the arbiter for whether I will sell anything to them or not

I have a truly low opinion of him

[110x75]

Yep, it's a Glucksman program, used in Argentina or Uruguay.
And we DO believe Frankenstein is real

Too bad you didn't ask any of us if we wanted any of them...     Could have saved the 35% consignor fee...

How would he know the final prices before they were listed?
