Bidding on Bruce's auction while watching basketball at a bar full of people while making sure none of your friends in attendance notice is no easy feat. T
What is the difference between the one being offered this afternoon, and this one, that just sold on April 26th, for $10.00 USD and is described as a German-produced reproduction? I cant make out any additional printer's info on any of the borders (maybe it's very small) and the dimensions are exactly identical to today's offering. If it were a legit or licensed repro (vs. some run off bootleg), wouldn't the German printer's name be on it somewhere?http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/14056856.html
The one that sold for $10 says zigzag along the bottom. The other does not.
The reprint version that I am aware of and that sold for $10 in the one auction mentioned is from ZigZag which has reprinted a lot of posters over many decades. In all of the posters including this one, the Star Wars birthday poster, Empire style B, Advance, etc. and many many others all have a copyright line for used with permission type stuff located somewhere at the bottom of the poster usually in the artwork itself in the case of Star Wars posters at least. I have placed arrows to highlight the one from the triple bill below. I did do the loop thing with the three copies I have of two of the quads using the 27x40, 30x40 and proof versions and all were printed the same, same paper, etc. I see no reason to assume any of them are not original.
It says sold for $1400! Does that mean my original release is worth $7k?Good, Bad, Ugly French 1P RR
And sold by tloce, no less. You gotta love how he says this, too:A French poster -- yet -- "THIS IS AN ORIGINAL THEATRICAL MOVIE POSTER PRINTED BY NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE."
Starting to wonder how far down this is going to drop before it is sold. They started listing it at over $1500. Starting bid down to $997.99. They also listed it at various prices in nine different auctions. Interesting way to market I guess.51R Dracula Half Sheet
