Finally got a chance to look at the HA catalog. Some nice stuff as always. Once I get rid of all the linenbacked posters I do not want, it leaves me with 26 folded posters on my list, most in the first 2 sessions, 3 that I really want. 57 that I already own.

I'm ready (and cracking my knuckles.)

This 1962RR HS for Pinocchio is being offered as an original 1940 release. Asking price: $2400.00

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pinocchio-Movie-Poster-1940-Original-Vibrant-Spectacu-Very-Good-Condition-/231882157553?fromMakeTrack=true

I messaged the seller. Whether he/she replies or not remains to be seen, or if the auction is changed.

EMP last sold one on Jan of 2013, for $28.00

Wow. Well spotted.

I heard back a couple times last night. They are not poster people, but they said they asked someone who knows posters and that person said it was from 1940.

I sent them more info.. (prior sales links and pics from both HA and emp) and they said they would check it out when they got back to their office/gallery on Monday. So they at least sounded receptive to the info.

Hopefully, more to come (maybe).

Good luck bidding. Particularly on those 3 you really want.

Interesting to see how others feel. I am in some sort of "maybe" state. Not sure if I really want a poster now. On the other hand...I might regret it if I let it go.

I call it the "poster flu"

Good to know.

I literally just got a message from them as I was writing my response. The seller wrote:

Hi:

Thanks for all of your help. You are right on the provenance of the poster and we shipped it back to our consignor and removed it from our listings.

Our area of expertise is in antique film making equipment and not in posters, obviously. We wanted to offer some vintage posters to our clients along with the equipment they purchase from us.

If we can ever help you with any vintage equipment needs, please let me know.

Thanks so much for your help on this.

Thanks, jay. It was nice to see that this person appreciated the info and took the right steps.

Unlike so many others (ebay or elsewhere) that are nothing but ungrateful and unappreciative snobs who think they know it all, when in truth, they know little to nothing. Hence their defensive and snarky attitudes, oftentimes.

A total reprint repro.. it even reads "printed in Belgium" in English on the right corner. Yet its in the Original section.

The seller is away until 3/29, this auction closes in 30 min.

Current bid is 13.50

Yep.

Most people do the right thing. Good to see that was the case here.

I agree with you, Brandon. It was nice to see, and get an appreciative response.

But oftentimes, some of the snootiest and "snobbiest" (as well as those that lack any decorum or the ability to buy and apply Lee Press-On Nails) can be much closer to home.

OTOH, it sold for $15, which seems about fair. It may have been misrepresented, but nobody was fooled.

I received a Casablanca poster alert from HA. I opened the email with anticipation and found this........ $:-\$

You of course might think that Bogie never looked so good....
