Seller has 2,173 autographed items on the bay?
99.8% positive feedback.
Do you think his price is too high?

[Ari]

I don't know who James best is, at least in regards to HD.

[Mirosae]

These HA early bidders are really quite trigger happy. Last I checked  a poster was "x" and now is "y" ...  tripling the price ...

Hah!

It's almost like folks are just eager to run the prices up......

Chris, i think it is like others have said on APF, too. Some just want to be able to say that they bid on something-- period.

And with no intention or hop or ever really owning it. More so the rare or big ticket items, that they know will "spike" on the actual auction day.

Crazy how you could have had this poster for 1900 including BP at the end of the last auction (no one bid on it and it was a buy it now) and it was relisted and it went for over 5k.  Every auction attracts different bidders, I suppose.

[Mirosae]

Uhm. Do you like it Brian? It is one poster which doesn't do it for me at all. I do like the overall composition but she doesn't look right to me.

Some cool 40x60s at eMovie in the current Thursday auction: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/14.html

2001: A Space Odyssey: http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=4062869





Per the description:
Note that the Cinerama posters from this movie are far more rare than those without Cinerama (which makes perfect sense, because it only played in a very limited number of theaters that had the Cinerama capability). We have only auctioned a small number of one-sheets with the Cinerama logo. This is the very first time we have auctioned a 40x60 from the Cinerama release, and it is likely so rare because it is not printed on the heavy paper stock that 40x60s of this period are normally printed on, but instead, it is printed on a paper exactly like that used for one-sheets at this time. It has a wonderful provenance! It comes to us directly from the man who was the theater manager of a theater that showed this movie in 1968, in Cinerama, and he has kept it ever since. He tells us that he remembers the poster being rushed to the theater at the last minute, which might explain why it was printed on the one-sheet paper, and would also likely explain why it is incredibly rare (probably a tiny number were made, just for those first run theaters)!

[Mirosae]

Thanks Brandon! Great poster. The EMP description is always a pleasure to read. You can sense their enthusiasm!!!

I have no idea to tell you the truth. My uncle who died a few years back gave me his entire autograph collection and this is part of it --- he was an entertainment lawyer, one of the first, and had some great autographs --- some have stories to them but I never wrote anything down. this is one from him and I know it's authentic --- I certify them myself and have been doing so for 40 years but this one is signed by a james best and he doesn't even appear in the credits of the movie, so this one is a mystery.

He certifies the autograph himself... Go for it

[Ari]

but WHO the FREAK is JAMES BEST?

PS, how do you certify someone without knowing who it is?

come on sleuths, find me JAMES BEST in some connection to HD.
