By Italian poster standards, that's as mint as it gets.
Those things fall apart just by looking at them.

So true, Ted.

Acid burn... especially at fold creases..the bane of Italian and French paper everywhere.

Do be aware anyone bidding on this, First release quads on this title actually measure 31"x41" The seller states 30x40, so a later release, or worse a repro.

I have emailed the fellow, also asking what the paper was like, but he is reluctant to get back in touch with me!

Well spotted Paul! It does look pretty original to me, if this is a repro thry did a good job..Maybe he is checking the size again. Hope you get a response!

More "phony baloney" here... this seller has listed this before, as original, too.

Truly a looker here.

Mexican posters can certainly hit the mark (and they do often), as this one does by artist, Espert .

I think the artist you arereally admiring there is not called Espert. Read again

She was an incredible woman. What a brain.

erik1925 · « **Reply #6682 on:** April 19, 2015, 06:00:49 PM »

Both are admired... certainly.

And the artist captured her beautifully.

Whoever is paying $290 for this poster, which is not even nice or in great shape, is nuts.

NEWS FLASH: Paper collector ridicules other paper collector. Film at 11.

Other than being folded (which is how they were distributed IIRC) it looks to be in quite nice shape. It's also square in the ballpark of past auctions. Now if it's just not to your tastes....

Thanks, Rich.

In the past, i had written this seller, mentioning that this was not a first release poster. I never got a reply back, but the auctions have always continued, advertised as such.

paul waines · « **Reply #6688 on:** April 22, 2015, 05:17:59 PM »

It's very small at 18.5x 12.5...

And even when that (the size) was pointed out to the seller... it made no difference, Paul.

Some people see what they want to see..

Ya like EMP is a good gauge for actual value! Its a very common poster that you can get for a fraction of that price, yes, folded, but without tears in the folds. I over paid for several posters when I started collecting that I see constantly circulate for pennies.

Overpay!? I'm sure we all have done that. I still hold the World Record and Olympic Record on overpaying. And cannot care less. Still enjoy them.

That is why I try to never buy from HA not that it works. Seems I like to set records for most ever paid for an item.

Fascinating, Captain.

But unlike many, you have the eye, that often leads you to either the gems/diamonds (in the rough) and more often those that are "clean."

Vick,

Looking back, what previous title/poster that you bought, most stands out in your mind, as one you overpaid for?

erik1925 · « **Reply #6696 on:** April 23, 2015, 01:06:44 PM »

Currently in the lead on emovie, ($1273), it will be interesting to see how this piece does, or if the Psycho 6sh will pull into the lead in the final hours today. (Psycho is currently at $1110). But Jane may also give a run for the money, too. She's not one to go down without a fight!

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3833280

Looking at this poster/lack of many actor's credits, aside from Kenneth More's name, one might also ponder it was a possible, later RR, but according to emovie, it is for the initial release.

God where do I begin...! As I started collecting propaganda posters I took a hit on several of those (I need to buy this now it will NEVER come up again right), not being the saavy collector I am today (hehe). I made several "god I'm addicted" purchases a couple of years ago which I now see time and time again sell for a fraction. What with getting ripped on shipping -also, wasn't as saavy on that end- it was salt into the wound thing. Now I haggle with just about everyone. I once bought 5 posters from a guy and paid around 160 in shipping - he had prepackaged so he taped 5 tubes together! Canada customs also killed me with a painful import charge that should not have been even there if it had been 1 tube!

erik1925 · « **Reply #6698 on:** April 23, 2015, 01:47:31 PM »

Sounds like you have had your share, Vick.

But you are still at it, and, as you said, have become more savvy in your buying, looking, researching and conquering! LOL

Keep on truckin'

It all pays off in the end!
