It will be interesting to see how much this goes for. I wonder if it is the same daybill that was sold at Christies South Kensington in 1998. Universal Horror daybills are incredibly scarce.

Ted,

I actually got 2 replies back from this seller. Very polite. The seller, in pricing his piece, referenced a previous ebay sale of that same reprint that sold recently for 150.00 (ouch).

I was thinking 25-50.00 (but that may be way off).

Thanks, again, John, for the Belgian, repro pricing info.

Jeff

What did that sell for then?

From memory, it sold for about 600 pounds which converted to close to AUD1800.00 bucks at the time. I actually consigned it. The result was a bit disappointing but I dont think people realised how rare it was. I was at that auction and also the incredible James Bond auction that they had a few days before. The main room for the Bond auction was packed out and they had two other rooms with TV cameras of the actual auction and they were full too.

That month was a big one for movie poster collectors and dealers. There was also a Sotheby's auction and Ed Mason had one of his conventions with many of the big poster dealers attending. I have a feeling that around that time, Greg Edwards might have closed his shop in London and he had a bit of fire sale/package deals on lots of items. It was all a lot of fun.

Ahh well it will be interesting then, the market and the world is a little different since back then obviously, and right now there are so many horror auctions on or coming up collectors are definitely spoiled for choice.

So what is the story with Black Frankenstien? Is it really that rare to justify the price?

The copy that Heritage sold for over $3,000 had an "R" rating instead of "PG".

I wonder if it was a paste-over (seems you can see the PG peeking out underneath) or printed that way?

What is this? I see no fold lines, tho, and no measurements are given.

$250. opening bid.

Hard call through the glass/perspex but not a real deal to my old inexperienced eyes - where's her underwear?!

The real giveaway is the 27x40 frame but also the missing NSS number to the right of "printed in USA":

Are you kidding me! I've been waiting for this poster to pop up in a reasonable condition for years... I don't think it is worth that much; FleBay for me I guess... I have one already in pretty poor condition, but like Steve I pulled it out of the tube this weekend to see about upgrading (to this one) and the 18" tear extended a foot and I got so pissed I just ripped it in half! Guess I could still fix it... Or just bite down hard buy this one and explain to my wife later...

If it is someone here on APF, PM me and I won't bid...

It's a cool poster, and the only English language one I know of with that art. But for that price, get the quad.

Well I reluctantly passed on the Patton. I just think one will pop up for less... I didn't want to get caught up on 'it may never come up again' thinking...

I always get caught up in that .. "this is the only one, I'll never see it again!!"

Although hardly a major crime specially as no one has bid on them (and are unlikely too), but as my wife (who loves the movie) probably owns pretty much every version of the original release US paper for this movie now's a good time to mention that the description fails to mention these are RE-releases.

Im more interested in the fact that your wife collects! That would be pretty awesome!
