Of course you are.

Straight to the point, eh!? Lol.

What did they sell for originally? 50-60.00 each? More? less?

Jeff

Edition of 400 - yes, they are very nice in my opinion, but $1000+ ???
Best wishes,

Just as an F.Y.I., I received a Pulp Fiction Lucky Strikes poster yesterday (the same one another member here bought about a week ago and returned to the seller).  It is severely faded, but appears to me to be legit.  It took me about half a second to determine that it was far more faded than what the seller had described as "faded a bit", and I didn't want to keep it, so I contacted him stating that I wanted to return it for a full refund and within 5 minutes he sent me an email basically saying "no problem", but he also re-listed it (and I just took it to the post office a few hours ago) and the auction ends on Thursday, so it probably won't be delivered to him until after the auction ends.  I did ship it in a tube from Hideyuki, so it should arrive safely to him.  Also, as previously stated, it is extremely faded, and IMO doesn't look as bad in the photo as it does in person.  I'm not sure if he didn't realize the extent to which it has faded, as the description in the current auction states "it has faded quite a bit", and I took a couple photos of it next to it's original German counterpart I bought from Bruce, and the color difference is significant.  It seems like he has good customer service, he has responded to all my emails, and assured me that he will give me a refund, but I just wanted to let y'all know of the situation.  That was cool of Mel to post the link to the auction for it a few weeks ago, and it's unfortunate that it is in a lot worse condition than can be seen from the seller's photo.

This exact poster for THE GHOUL just sold in Heritage's auction, at the end of March 2011, for $4182.50, including the 19.5% BP.

Here is one on ebay, offered by Cinemasterpieces, with a BIN for $24,995.00 (just under 6x more)   wow1

I'm pretty sure this was discussed here at the time of release.
From what I remember, and from what I have read, they were available individually and as sets.
I could be wrong though. Maybe one of the Alamo/Mondo nuts can confirm or kick my ass on this!
Best wishes,
Adam

Dave has been advertising that Ghoul for sale for over a year now, and seeing as it took Heritage two attempts to find a buyer at $4182, I would expect Dave to be advertising it for several more years.  But since it's on consignment it probably doesn't matter to him either way.

As for the Pulp Fiction Lucky Strikes poster, I do have a mint one available for an interested party.

I also bought and returned the same poster a few weeks ago.  It is definitely legit, just way to faded for my tastes.  To the seller's credit, they took the return with no fuss.  To any of you interested, I think Neo's pics accurately represent the degree of fading (i.e. severe).  Here is the latest auction (the seller has listed it about 6 times now)... I personally wouldn't throw more than a few bucks at it as a curiosity....

This is more of a general note and I am not saying that it is the case here, but you want to be careful comparing color levels from posters of diferent countries. 

That german looks a little 'hot', if you know what I mean...   :)

Yeah, I figured they are not going to be identical in color, but fairly close.

No, I don't know what you mean.  Would you mind explaining?

I'm a happy man right now.  ;D

And while I was surprised at the IALP result, I'm not at all surprised about the Grand Illusion going for $4K.  That is a damn pretty and damn rare poster right there.  Worth every penny.

Hmmm..... I just noticed that Posteritati was the high bidder on the Grand Illusion poster.  That must be frustrating for the private collectors bidding on this piece. 


Cue relisting on their site for $10K in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...  :(
