That is definitely not a 3-sheet that is shown in the pressbook (yes, Frankie pressbooks do exist). Certainly locally produced.

This 3-sheet is similar to the insert and WC (and herald), with a large Karloff head floating over Mae Clark fainted across the bed and the logo tilting up towards the right in the middle (not straight across like the insert).
Except of course that it is a gorgeous full-color stone litho.

Good style Wizard of Oz 1-sheet, Maltese Falcon 6-sheet, original Kurosawa artwork...
I don't know how Grey keeps putting together the very best auctions this hobby has seen (well probably has something to do with the top prices they get, his honesty, integrity, and other factors, but you know what i mean).

Truly amazing.

Thanks Sean - any knowledge on its completeness or condition?

Grey Smith clearly finds the unfindable.

I can't imagine that anyone would not be jealous of his ability to uncover these gems

I have seen that Frank art before, now I cant tell you for the life of me where or when, but I have seen it.

Does he personally find them or the high ticket items come to him, given Heritage's achieved prices?

Dale,

That B/W still has been posted to APF before but maybe you were thinking of this poster? The Swedish OS has the same, general imagery, and I think its a great design, too, imo!

I'm sure it's a combination

Any pics of it from the pressbook? Would love to see it.

I will scan and post a shot of later tonight.

As a door-sized stone litho -- that is gonna be a stunner! Can't wait to see the color scheme.

If I were the underbidder on the LAM one sheet ....I would be rejoicing that I still had my $$¢¢€€€¥££$$ to compete for this poster....

Undead · « **Reply #6464 on:** February 18, 2015, 01:00:40 AM »

Don't get your hopes up. I am winning the lottery tonight and then I will own this.

Filmlobbycards · « **Reply #6465 on:** February 18, 2015, 01:33:33 AM »

....I wonder if the Frankenstein lobby cards are part of the same find?...and if Morrie's collection is broken up individually...and there are Frankies there too...then we have several chances to get original release cards this year...sounds good to me!!

If they are not part of the same find...I wonder if the cards were consigned or available for sale upon knowing that the 3 sheet was being auctioned and it was an opportunity to cash in riding the coattails...i always wonder about the inner workings of these blockbuster auctions

So true

I want to see its condition. And I wish HA could reveal where they find these posters - clearly they won't for confidentiality and other reasons, but would really want to know where these posters come from.

On a side note, it seems to me that HA has stepped up a gear over the last couple of years. They always had incredible posters but lately their posters are just from another Galaxy altogether.

Thanks for sharing the pressbook image.

Very similar style to the insert, daybill and window card (as others have said) but on a more spectacular scale

I have a feeling impressive will be an understatement. If the color scheme is the same that will be a red head/face that will be close to three feet wide staring at you.

What are we thinking? Is Frankster gunna break 500 k??

I'm practically frothing at the mouth to see it

If I were anywhere near Dallas, I would be making a pilgrimage to genuflect in front of this beauty.

God, this is the best hobby

This is going to be just a

when we finally see it, in all its glory. Amazing and the number this achieves could be mind blowing, too. Simply outstanding. And another big Congrats to Grey for acquiring and offering this piece!
