Mid-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....

It is a pretty nice poster Thierry but man I could find a lot of really special posters for $1,500!

Thanks Chris, but that wasn't really the point of my question.  I have many posters worth $1,500 or more, and hopefully will get many more before I die.  The question was more... is it worth it, to which Silence seems to have an answer.  There are so posters that I would spend $5k on in a heartbeat, like Laura, and some that I need comforting on.

Now, that's what I'm talking about...
McGinnis...nobody does Bond better.

Back to that elusive "worth" thing again.  Market value is more about how others place worth on an item than how you do that.

Personally, I think that poster is by far one of the nicest Bond designs out there.  The market tends to value the US original 1 sheets higher though.

Can't really ask me, as I have never spent more than $500, and seldom more than $120 on any poster.  I have a lot of "junk" that gives me great pleasure.

I think if YOU need comforting, then you should let it go.  What's the point of getting it if there's even a seed of doubt to cloud your feelings about the purchase?

You did ask for opinions - and my opinion is I would rather buy a different poster for $1,500 (but then again, I am no Bond fanatic)

But I also opined it has some pretty colours so that helps to offset its "Bondness"...

[paul waines]

I do pick up a fair few Bond posters, but I (and don't get me wrong, I do like it) would rather spend $1500 on something much more special. In-fact, I could buy 3 or more posters for that kind of money that would in my opinion......er, can I say piss all over it!!

[Tob]

It's a lovely poster, T. Great art.

If your gut says yes, go for it.

I didn't realise there was a baby re-release, will have to keep an eye out for it...it's more suited to my shallow pockets!

Ted.. you do know that McGinnis only did the bottom panel don't you??.
the top two panels are done by Frank McCarthy
but it is a very nice poster no matter who did it

[eatbrie]

I just checked Heritage.  They sold one for $2k a month ago, so I feel better about my purchase.  I think I'm going to go for it...

oh.. here's a fun line
eatbrie Thierry hates "French Grande"

[eatbrie]

Yeah, very funny, the only problem is that now I can't post pictures anymore because they come straight from my website and APF doesn't recognize Eatshit.com.

Actually, if you do a search for eatshit.com, you get this.  Disturbing!!!

Yes, I did Rich.  I should have specified.
Those McGinnis girls always give me tunnel vision.
 
McCarthy is one of those unsung greats that some of today's younger poster collectors might be unfamiliar with.
At one time, I had several of his movie posters...today, only this:

Nothing like this French double panel.  Now, that's a poster.

[eatbrie]

So I've decided to buy the French Dr. No.  It's too good of a deal to pass.  Plus, if I ever decide to put it up, it will look good next to one that I acquired earlier this year.

[Zorba]

I hate rich people. 

Seriously. Great decision!

You should put them both up. A great set they would make. I love the crap I put on my walls I can only dream of putting some of your stuff on my walls.

Nice pick up T,It`s going to the right place..

I think I made a mistake by stating how much the Bond poster was going to cost me if I ever bought it.  It is not something I like to do.  I just needed to know what the board thought and I got carried away.  For that I apologize. 

I am not rich, Zorba.  I'm doing okay, but I'm not rich.  Rich is always relative, especially in the neighborhood I live in and with the friends I have.  Trust me, there are a lot of things I want that I can't afford.  I still have a gigantic mortgage to pay on my house and every penny counts.  And like everyone else on here, I droll over other people's collections.

I understand, but this is a very competitive hobby and I know I don't like to hear what people spend on what I can't afford.  I'm better now than I was 5 years ago, which was already better than 5 years earlier, so this is what I can hope for all of us.

Yeah, because I couldn't post pictures, Rich.  You can still call me eatshit, though.

Me too - i get a lot of pleasure from many `lesser' titles that i happen to like

Is it really?  I have never thought of it that way and I think approaching a hobby as a competition is very wrong (much like being a completist!)
