Well I do have a scalpel just a few feet away... Married, castrated, not much of a difference. Here goes..... Nope, can't do it. They are my best friends. We spent a lot of quality time together as teenagers.

I'll just have to wait for the E-Bay reprints to come out. Maybe I can sell a bunch of other posters to fund this one. Who will give me $5k for a BTTF mall advance and quad advance package? If I can get my refund for a no show poster from someone here that would be a very small step closer.

Come on, Mike.. you did restoration.

That would be an easy fix for you.

Sometimes ...Once in a while..one comes across a poster that it is so full of life that one must stop and watch. Every inch of this paper is worth a thousand smiles. It is childhood, Saturday afternoon tv play all over again. And boy. That man was really a piece of art.

Hear, hear.

Here's a question.

I noticed that on Bruce's auctions, there are ALWAYS people opening the bidding with very low bids for posters that everyone knows will go for way, way more. And then they don't bid again.

Look at these recent examples...

Does thelarman really believe he can get this poster for $25?

Is $5 enough Ca492345?

$9 for a rolled Animal House, Warsaw? Sign me in.

I mean, are these people all newbies, or is there something else at play here? Notice that they never bid again, so this is what they think they will get the posters for. All you have to do is check Bruce's past auctions prices to realize that there is no way in hell you will get these posters for that price, so why even bother. I think all of us would at the very least bid $200 on these posters. Maybe $1,000 on the Bardot. That would be my opening bid.

All I know is Warsaw usually beats me up in several items I am interested in. That bastard has good taste.

I think Bruce does an amazing job at selling posters and that's why he is #1.

Am I bitching now?

Ratings are all a matter of opinion or can differ based on criterian variance

in any case, I still have a bigger & better collection than you do

I will do exactly that sometimes, to avoid maxing out the number of items ebay and/or EMP will let you add to your watch list. Seeing as you're allowed bidding on as many as you want, it acts as an extended watch list.

Yup, and it has a limit... I think 200 items?

Exactly (although I do not practice this method)

Goldilocks said she didn't like the first poster because "it was priced too high".. so she put this one back and tried another and she said "this one is priced too low"
finally she tried the third one and she said "this poster is priced just right"

Wow, I don't think I've ever wanted 200 items from Bruce at a time. 20-30 max. So when it goes above 200, you just bid on stuff or you don't even bother and just bid?

Not necessarily to bid on all of them, some just curious to see how they do, others I may have consigned. As for thelarman, Ca492345 etc...maybe they just like being able to say "yeah I was in on that bardot..."

Re: very low early bids

I'm guilty. I did that once. I placed a bid on auction which I won for a lesser bid. I bid my savings on another poster. It was a very low bid. Didnt expect to win. But won. Paul Newman for peanuts.

Btw, what's the deal with a 200 want list limit? 200 out 1,000? Seems a little low, no? Shouldn't you be able to check as many items as you want? Is HA the same?

200 out of 3000 really as it would be for Tues, Thurs and Sunday auctions...
I don't know why, maybe Rich has some insights on the tech end... Maybe they want you to bid after 200 "watched"

I don't think anyone will be angry about outing this one. I just wanted to share as it is one of the more amazing resto jobs I have ever seen on a Star Wars Birthday poster. Looks like it was done by you know who from Brooklyn. Actually I would expect more from even him.

realistically, you have to be nearly insane to be watching 200 items currently running in any auction. ergo - the lack of a need for more than 200 items

"Poster has had minor restoration. Satisfaction guaranteed!"

It does look similar to the unrestored copy Matias had and sold to help bring his spawn into this world...
