I had hopes of someday owning an "M" poster, that ship appears to have sailed.

Is it just me or were there very strong results at both EMP and HA so far?

Results have been going up in general, imo. New found interest in the hobby perhaps? Strengthening economies and more disposable income?

I got 2 so far and missed about 20 that I actually bid on.

I bid A LOT (for me) on the German M poster and I failed.

Very upsetting.

Yeah, I was bidding on this too, and bailed out early.

Road to Morocco OS - $3585
The great dictator OS. - $8365
It's a wonderful life SC. -$2091

This is so annoying... I lost a big one this morning on Ebay, then went for my regular 2 hour Sunday morning jog, and came back before noon only to realize that HA's sale was almost over. For some reasons, I thought they started at noon. I had so many items in my Want List.

Not happy yesterday, not happy today.

Not good enough? I know, right? These 2 were actually afterthoughts, just because I didn't win what I wanted and was pissed. I had to fulfill the emptiness I felt inside.

I have to admit I laughed when I read that. They are very nice consolation prizes.

I've heard that when you win an auction the family takes you on a victory lap.
Is this true?

I got what I wanted... Good job on the Czechs tonight Matt. Don't normally see you going for the 11x16s though... What's up with the Eclipse? Do I need to watch it?

eatbrie · « **Reply #5895 on:** July 22, 2014, 09:55:16 PM »

A lot of stuff went for really cheap. Could be because most collectors don't care about Polish, Czech and Hungarian posters. More for us!

If you like 60s Italian, then yes! It's part of a loose trilogy by Antonioni - L'Avventura, L'Eclisse, La Notte.

And good eye, I do usually skip the A3 Czechs. However, I decided that given how many Eastern European posters I'll likely collect -- that I probably don't need to hold out/shell out for every title in A1 size. I'll save that for the special ones. So while I did buy 6 A3s, I also bought 9 A1s, 6 B1s and a B2.

It's all those stupid sub-collections I have now. I probably have 40 or 50. Deneuve is one of them. And I keep adding to them. Keeps me busy.

The neverending hobby.
