Still scratching my head on this one.
In a thread below we have a guy wanting to set off sirens because the safety of ordering from Bruce has led to bidding of $5 more than you could buy a poster for on eBay, but here we have people talking about a "low opening bid" of $200K.

Don't let it keep you up at night, Sean.

I rarely spend more than $20 on a poster...so, what would i know?
I also expected Todd's BRIDE teaser to sell at $750k. I'm still scratching my own head that it didn't.
But, you and Todd are far better versed at these rare antiquities than I will ever be.

But, if I had unlimited resources, I would pay $500k for Lugosi and Borland as Count Mora and Luna on what is the only known one sheet in existence.
No, it isn't Uni horror and, many would consider it just a minor entry in the Golden Age of horror, but it is a one-of-a-kind, atmospheric classic that would look great in any millionaire's mansion.
So, based on my wishful thinking attitude, I would love to see it sell far north of his opening bid.

I wonder how much the low opening bid on Metropolis will be next month at Heritage?

Might as well toss an only-known Freaks 1 sheet on the auction block while he's at it....

Don't know if it's a great poster but certainly is a landmark movie...which I guess makes it a great poster...

I am partial to the title card (which I auctioned)

A better one (IMHO) just because it has most of the "characters" on display. Wonder why the 1SH never did?

For Todd's next trick - an original print of London After Midnight!

Ari · « **Reply #3257 on:** September 28, 2012, 10:20:52 PM »

Yeah what's the delay? Enough already.

Yeah, a six sheet.

Todd's next trick, some poster for some other vampire movie...

I think I've heard of this one...

Wonder whatever happened to Profiles' S1 "fake"?

Since Schan just put up his image of his KILLER KLOWNS quad in the "What's On Your Walls" thread, here is one from a seller in the UK. And priced at over $16,000.00

That's the same knucklehead that only wants $1.6 million for a KING KONG ESCAPES quad.

I wonder if he'd take two BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN teasers in trade...

I have this Quad twice, and I only want one Bride Teaser....

Speaking of OZ earlier, here is a seller stating that this Italian poster for OZ is from 1939.

However, OZ wasnt released in Italy until December, 1947. This could still be an Italian early release, as down in the lower left, it reads Artero-Roma-48 (a possible abbreviation for 1948?) and in the lower right, Edizioni - Cussino.

BIN: $10,000.00 (obo)

"for the record im really not too interested in selling this poster, serious offers only or you will just be wasting your time and life's full of things to do so please dont waste your time, thanks"

Could have fooled me... NOT!

Dude should just get a website if he feels the need to display his precious, priceless posters.
What a putz.

Ari · « **Reply #3270 on:** October 14, 2012, 11:47:03 PM »

its really odd how sought after that poster is all things considered.

Hallucination Generation · « **Reply #3271 on:** October 15, 2012, 08:01:02 AM »

The person selling that poster is a tosser.

He once had a uk quad for 'The Hidden' listed at £300 and i politely asked if there was any movement in the price. He responded with some idiotic rant about how he could sell it for twice that price and that it would only go to a real collector!

I politely told him to go fuck himself.

Not an auction, but a BIN.

Ah, but to have a spare $6K sitting around for this Halloween treat.

One beautiful card, with no restoration, per the seller:
