In my mind, this is perfect condition.  Just enough weathering and pinholes to show it was a legitimate theatrical display, but in very presentable position.  A poster that hasn't been displayed is no different than a repro in my mind.

This is an interesting point, and actually I found myself agreeing to it, with the exception of recalled posters.

I love posters to show their age and life- as much as I like people to do the same. Yes, not keen on botox.

I guess paper fills can sort of seem the same as wrinkle fillers or collagen injections to fill out cheeks or lips.

Gotta love it when people who may have gotten an HA catalog for free, then do the old quick flip for profit.

I like mine. I actually think they are a great source of info- HA cats 

[erik1925]

True... not everyone wants to keep them for reference... and many do have to purchase them from HA... when new they are about 50.00?

So, i guess, in a way, there is savings here to a stranger who might want a copy.

Or offer it to friends for free...

some people do not bid with Heritage and sell the catalogs, making a revenue stream out of Heritage's costs
generally speaking when you see the catalogs listed on ebay that is what the situation is.

I do not know any bidder who doesn't keep the catalogs

[jedgerley]

Does anyone have recent Hakes catalogs? looking for #210 I believe

I don't keep them.  I've given all mine away. Everything goes into the ol' digital collection.

 Pretty Heritage stops sending catalogs a couple of cycles after you stop bidding.  ATLFun Brian stopped receiving them pretty quickly even though he spent big bucks there.

you would be one of the few I know.
of course, the collectors I know are mostly 10 years older than you and us old school guys like keeping things to reference easily, or we like looking at them to see what a great package that auction was etc

^ Some of us just like paper I guess. I rather have a library at home with 100 books than ipad with 3k e-books. So I will keep the HA-CATs (no other cats allowed)

I wish you freakin' people would stop bidding on the stuff I want:

[eatbrie]

Ah, yes, Kiss of Death.  Never seen the flick but I got this amazingly rare French poster by Soubie a few months ago.  Never sold anywhere (Heritage sold a vastly inferior re-release version twice). 

Far superior to the American one, imho.

I cannot remember for the life of me who was looking for a one sheet of the Love Factor (aka Zeta One) but there is one on eBay right now for not to bad of a price

It is striking for sure and even better because Widmark is portrayed.

However, the black & white US one sheet is an iconic noir poster...just about the perfect portrayal of "noir" in poster art

totally agree. the US poster is one of the few that speaks right to the genre

the French poster shown above, while  a very nice poster doesn't really capture it

[eatbrie]

totally agree.

Let's just agree to completely disagree, then.
