while the whole economy was running faster than any engine should have been, that still doesn't take away that these posters were selling for more even before that market (06-08)

even in 2000 that Dracula was a 1000-1300 item and that being the case, if it sold for $1000 today, that is a loss from a purchase in 2000 as the investment value of the money was lost

also, in the case of Unihorror, there is more than 1 detrimental issue as we can't forget the Haggard scandal

regardless, a lot of value has been lost and with the continuation of a Wal Marting philosophy from some corners, there is more deterioration to come

They actually paid just over $1k for it when they bought it. So at $900 or so they are in a money loss as well. Never s one if my favorites jut because every time I look at it I have to do a double take because I keep thinking it is Leslie Nielson bending over in the main image doing a seen from dead and loving it. Because of that alone I have to cap my value on it at $500. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the movie just no enough to pay $1k to be reminded of it.

Just for fun I did offer them $500 on the Drac and they very not surprisingly declined.

I'm sure they thought it was HILARIOUS.

All I can say is if they accepted I would have been smiling.

at $500, we'd all be jumping over each other to buy it

brude · « **Reply #6381 on:** January 06, 2015, 08:54:37 PM »

Anyone seen one of these before or have insight into what exactly it is?
My gut tells me its a small repro fabricated in someone's basement.

Looks pretty cool though, doesn't it?

Looks like it's on MDF wood (at least one layer)... that wasn't around until the 80s.

Definitely very cool looking.

My guess is that this was made from a trimmed window card. Size is right. Take two WCs, trim the raised pieces off of one and then glue them over the complete one.

I suspect this was done at the time of the film release for lobby display. Many of the larger theaters back then had a guy who did that sort of custom work.

I've never seen a WC for CotD - anyone have a image of one?

Bruce didn't have one listed, but I assumed that most 50s releases included window cards. Artwork is same as 1 sheet, but it must be smaller. It would have been near impossible to create a smaller color version in 1957. Probably not until mid 80s when color laserjets became available.

I'm going to stick with repurposed window card. If my hunch is right, there would be a complete window card hidden underneath.

MoviePosterBid.com · « **Reply #6390 on:** January 07, 2015, 03:01:12 PM »

17x10 Jay.. too small to be a window card

it someone did that to a wc, they should be ashamed of themselves.
also, I believe the wc was the other image

one pf my customers emailed me recently showing a new acquisition, it was a TCM Lenticular, and he paid about this much for it. I was surprised.
So I guess stuff like this might dribble out the door (?)
