Mid-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....

[Mirosae]

I'm betting you're right.
A long-time and beloved APF member told me a few years ago that he had seen several Mel 'types' before.
Without getting into the details, he accurately predicted Dread Pirate Mel's 'history' and, this sale was the closing chapter.

Damn, Ari...you were spot on.
 

So Ari......Uhm. ..which type of poster luv collectorsh am I...? ...and will i ever get my (:&**^$#) dream poster?

Such a cool image.. and the size has to be breathtaking, too.

And from the distinct fold pattern/lines, it looks to be the one that was sold, literally year ago today, for $382 (inc the BP):

Terrible condition though... folds could be fixed, but not the fading.

There was this same '31 MF WC on ebay a while back..

I wonder if this is the same copy? 

[Ari]

you I believe STARTED the right way.
You dont buy everything with even a slight amount of interest.
You know what you want, and what you can afford from the get go.
THATS what others either grow into, or if they dont, they crash and burn.

See you in 50 years, and you WILL get "that" poster, really.

[Neo]

That's wise advice, Ari.

I was reading something a few days ago, where Eric Clapton mentioned how he gets into collecting different things, in this case he's talking about firearms: “It is following the same pattern as when I collected guitars,” he says. “I get obsessed, then engulfed and finally narrow the collection down.”
source: http://gunssavelives.net/blog/11-pro-gun-celebrities-yes-they-do-exist/

I'm sure that a lot of people have similar stories to Mr. Clapton, with the whole "quality over quantity" idea, and of course, deciding what is most important to them.

The REAL QUESTION IS WHICH POSTER WILL NOW BE ON THE FRONT COVER OF THIS SIG CAT? There are so many to pick from the I can see the editorial team going mad.

 I will be glued to my computer, watching it live- hard life this is . I cannot wait ..

I'd be willing to place a good bet that the Frankie 3 sheet will make the cover, as the centerpiece.

And maybe the LAM 3sh will share some space with it.  

Yes, you probably right. Though I would  have it all covered in Maltes (Falcon) he he

I think it will be a tough call..

you can be sure that each marquee item will be represented, though the Frankenstein 3sh will indeed be the central item and will be the fiscal high point of the auction followed by LAM and the Falcon (most likely)

For those who threw out potentials for what posters would make HA's March 2015 Sig catalog cover... here it is. Focusing on Mae Clarke's face and draped figure works brilliantly here, imo.  

[Crazy Vick]

Is that Frankenstein or bill cosby...   oh!!!  (too soon?)

[eatbrie]

Did you get it today?  Still waiting for mine.  I haven't seen any of the stuff they have for sale, so I'm excited.

Heritage without questions uncovers the greatest material the market has seen over the last 13 years since they started selling posters. It makes you wonder "what's next?" and "how do they top this?"

[Mirosae]

"How do they top this"....

Agree Rich. So have a pick...which poster will be the next biggie. . A never seen Metropolis?

No, I always wait for the catalogue.  I like going through it.  I mark the posters I already own, the posters I want to buy.  I usually get it a week before the sale and I read it in the toilet.
