I have no money to spend on posters right now, so expensive major auctions are counterintuitive in my case.  Obviously when they are timed just right you get folks on the holiday spending craaaaaaze.  And we all know what craze leads to… cra-zy!  So it must be a seller’s market.  On the other hand, maybe it’s just one big extended Black Friday, with so many businesses competing they all need a figurative “major auction” at this time of the year.  If that's the case, and if you're careful, maybe you actually come out on top and knock-out a deal of the year.

Fuck if I know.  I do know that when the bill comes in January, many will need to take a step back, backwards walk of shame type thing, or whatever, and cool those credit jets.  “January?!?  But this is the absolute worst possible time ever for a consignor to auction my items!  I hate my life!”  Or, maybe it isn’t, young grasshopper.  Maybe many of us have reasons to hold out for those loser January auctions, maybe some of us are more likely than others to wake up hungover as hell in 2016 realizing there have 4 godforsaken months of ass chapping snow storms and ice punches to the gonads to look forward to, and maybe (one of) the only things that will get us through the darkness are dead-of-winter poster auctions.  So we lie in wait, ready to pounce when others are still licking their wounds.   >:D

So take care of yourselves this holiday season APF!! please make sure to give generously to those less fortunate in the coming weeks, and, if you absolutely must spend on major auction posters, for gods sake, spend wisely!

"Baby It's Cold Outside"
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

C'mon baby

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

Baby it's cold outside

Brr its cold...
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well... I really shouldn't... alright

Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again...

You are such a joy to read Vick. And you are so right too!

It's funny you mention that, as I a few months ago, I figured maybe this time of year is good for selling.  That was a contributing factor for me deciding to sell/consign a bunch of stuff this holiday season.

The main factor to the question is, of course, whether there will be two or more folks participating in spirited bidding.  Or, depending on the venue, whether there will be one spirited bidder and a high secret reserve.

In any case, whether people are statically more likely to really "go for the win," during one time of year or another, would be mighty difficult to prove statistically, due to so many other factors.


Interesting reasoning there, CV, and the "ass chapping snow storms and ice punches to the gonads" are really brutal here in Florida.   8)


Good points Brandon. I think you might be right, most people tend to spend a lot this time of the year. Looking at my shopping habits I tend to be quite tight though I see HA buyers are just the opposite!

Is this an actual, Japanese B2, being all in English? And like the others discussed a month or so ago, it also has no eirin mark, either.

Good perspective Crazy Vick. Always loved that song.  I also have a fondness for the version they did last year on SNL that showed a certain tenderness.

its a coincidence that The Bruce is reported to be around again (I hope so!) I posted the lyrics to "Baby It's Cold Outside" to represent my logging on to EMP and then trying to leave before getting into some serious poster trouble.  The "guy" would be The Bruce (or Phil he's more my type) trying to convince me to stick around  ;)

Agree. These are really going for it. I could give you another name. I have in mind another trigger happy (an early bidder). Not that it bothers me.  :P.  Question. Are these two related? They have such an appetite...Ta560796    and my beloved Ma50069 who i see getting that incredible LC.

 Again, I normally don't like to out auctions… But someone is going to get hosed on these 80s release bonds! I contacted the seller and sent him a link to an authentication page. Hopefully he follows through and relists them properly.

And he's got a number of bids already on a few at the bottom of his list. Ugh.

Now to see if he takes takes your words (and link) to heart, Matt.

The seller responded and said they were listed on behalf of someone else and they would pass my info along. Not sure that means they'll do anything about it though!

Might be worthwhile for others to contact the seller as well...
