I keep losing track of all the auctions and other movie poster events, so I put together this public "Movie Poster Events" Google Calendar:
Here is the link. (http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=moviepostercollectors%40gmail.com&ctz=America/New_York)
The full address is:
http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=moviepostercollectors%40gmail.com&ctz=America/New_York
This is a public calendar. I'll try to update it regularly and I can authorize others to update it as well. I've put the regular auctions in and also some special events - the upcoming Christie's auction, Coys, Emovie and Heritage signature auctions, etc
Please post in this thread if you think something should be added.

Arrogant bastard is overrated breckinridge county now thats a beer

Check your times. You have our Tuesday auctions ending at 7 PM, which they do in CST, but you have Sunday ending at 4 PM, which they do, but in EST!
How about fixing that, and then making them all have a time zone included (I would guess EST would be the one most people would know).
But nicely done!
Bruce
-
OK fixed all times to EST and added more detailed descriptions - click the event to see the description. Unfortunately, there is no option to allow multiple time zones in the public calendar. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/03/AR2010040304956.html)

Nah - somebody loaned me a new toy. Now I'll have to download some books and expand my mind beyond movie poster world:

Mel.. very good job, but I wold make an addition to the calendar
I think that some logos should be included, and most especially the MPB logo. I also suggest that all logos be no more than 3 pixels in height, but that the MPB logog should be 150 pixels in height & 350 in width.. Get to it.. now!!

Ohhh !! That website looks awesome Mel !!!! ;) Although I see on the Apple my link colors are incorrect .. (links should be red and yellow when the mouse is hovering over it) and all the regular text is gray. Hmmmmm ... Oh well still looks pretty nifty ! :D

Dominic Winter in UK is having a relatively small auction (http://www.dominicwinter.co.uk/catcal/S290/P12.html#145012) of movie posters on Thursday 16 December 2010 commencing at 11.00am local time.
Some of the stuff is decent, like the printers proof quad for Back to the Future:
(http://www.dominicwinter.co.uk/illustrations/Y373.jpg)
-
Cameo auction on Thursday (http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/cameo-auctioneers-and-valuers/catalogue-id-2805730) (early morning US). Range is mediocre to exceptional (Goldfinger). Several older Alamo posters there.
-
The Alamo Goldfinger (estimate £600-800) sold for £400...
-
The Italian Job re-release quad (estimate £200-220) went for £250...
-
The Return of the Jedi rolled gold mylar anniversary one sheet (estimate £90-120) sold for £110.
-
The folded Blade Runner Australian one sheet (estimate £75-95) sold for £75.
-
Star Wars Episode I rolled one sheet, key art (estimate £40-60) sold for £40.
-
Just listening to it live over the interweb... have to say their descriptions leave a lot to be desired, not a lot to go on!
-
Saving Private Ryan rolled one sheet (estimate £35-50) sold for £30... I thought the original d/s versions were quite rare and sought after? Don't know what this version was tho!
-
The Jaws 2 sunset teaser folded one sheet (estimate £150-180) sold for £95... I didn't have any condition reports on any of these which might have helped!
Will stop now unless anything interesting happens, just though some people might be interested :P
-
Final few then I'm off...
The Shawshank Redemption anniversary rolled one sheet with Struzan art (estimate £50-70) sold for £48.
The Castro Theatre Bullitt rolled re-release (estimate £50-70) sold for £44.
Nightmare Before Christmas rare artwork rolled one sheet (estimate £125-150) sold for £120.
I'm outta here ;D
-
Thanks for all the updates. That's about what the Goldfinger sold for at Heritage's last auction. The BFI re-release for Italian Job is ridiculous. It's a cool poster but way overpriced for a recent re-release.
-
Nay worries, just happened to notice it was on and had a look at the live feed/sound type thing... wasn't sure about giving a running commentary but thought it might amuse.
Regarding the re-release Italian Job quad, yeah probably too high for a recent poster (although they seem quite rare), unless someone bought one for around £10 when they were first available ;)
-
Is there a list of the results somewhere? I bid on a few items but I have no idea what, if anything, that I won...
-
Harry, go to:
http://www.cameo-auctioneers.co.uk/film-posters-auction-department (http://www.cameo-auctioneers.co.uk/film-posters-auction-department)
Then click on 'the-sale-room.com' logo on the right of the page. You should get this page then:
http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/cameo-auctioneers-and-valuers# (http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/cameo-auctioneers-and-valuers#)
Click the 'Watch Live' button and it should bring up all the lots, you can click on any one you want and should get the 'sold' price'.
Let me know if it works!
-
Yup, worked like a charm. Thanks... but unfortunately I didn't win anything. Not much action though... I put in low bids and I was usually the 2nd high bidder.
Someone got a FOH lobby sets for Dance of the Vampires and The Ipcress File for quite cheap! Same goes for many of the bond posters...
-
Harry, do you know what the Dance of the Vampires F.O.H. Stills went for?
-
44 measly pounds. The Ipcress File FOH lobbies went for 42!
-
Amazing, you just never know with auctions, I do have DOTV set. I wish I'd bid on the Ipcress File set though, but I fell out with Cameo due to their incompetence, so don't tend to look at their auctions.

Cinevent 43, coming at the end of May!

How about they move that thing to a city like Chicago?
You know. Like a place out of town people actually want to go to. Columbus? Really? All they have there is NCAA cheaters.
-
Have you ever been to one of those things? I have and swore to never go again. So depressing. Trust me, Columbus is the perfect location.
-
Depressing in what way?
-
Old actors that no one has heard from in years trying to make a few bucks selling autographed pictures... I understand people need to make a living, but it's just not my scene. I attended one of those in LA a few years ago with Jeannie (yeah, the Jeannie) and left with suicidal thoughts.
T
-
LOL You should go to comic cons. It the exact same situation except with washed up wrestlers added for good measure. Oh, if Lou Ferrigno isn't there charging people for allowing them to be in his presence, then it's not an official convention
-
I've been to Comic Con... but at least you have the fanboys. It makes the whole thing more fun and agreeable (at least IMO).
T
-
Ive never been to a poster or comic convention but I have been to quite a few sports memorabilia shows and most of them were pretty cool.
I have gotten autographs from such all time greats as Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, Gale Sayers, and Gordie Howe. ;D
For some reason I thought maybe movie shows would also be cool but I guess not...Nevermind then...Ohio is perfect.
-

One plus is that they tend to have some scantily clad women there (in costume). Nice eye candy when you can find it
-

Don't dis Ohio...you don't know what you are talking about.
Columbus is interesting, however. Should be in Indianapolis...that place is the 'meeting/convention' capital of the country.
I think Columbus is just where the organizers live, plain and simple...no reason other than that.
-
Don't dis Ohio...you don't know what you are talking about.
1) I was trying for a laugh!
2) I went to Oxford on a road trip in 1985 and it was awesome cause
3) you guys ( I assume you are from there from your defense) have the best and easiest sluts in the midwest.

T
Cinevent has NEVER had old actors selling autographs at their convention.
You are thinking of the Hollywood Collector's Show.
-
Zorba, I am just giving you grief too, my man...all in good fun.
And Sean is correct, that is probably at the HCS. Unless Sean will be signing at his booth this year...?
-
I want a signed print of this pic.

T
Obviously you've never been to Cinevent but will make up your mind it sucks even before you go. Your loss. Cinevent is a film festival. Not a Comic Con, autograph session, or some other terrible BS event. It a great weekend of classic films and it just so happens that there are a lot of poster and film dealers who go to buy and sell. The Last Moving Picture Company also has an auction that weekend, but seeing as most of the dealers don't stock much post 1970 or have any Alamo crap, you'll probably not be interested in what they have at their booths.

Dominic's Film & Entertainment auction (http://www.dominicwinter.co.uk/catcal/S303/P14.html) on June 16 at 11am UK time:
Some original movie poster artwork being sold:
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, dir. Steven Spielberg, 1984, starring Harrison Ford and Kate Capshaw, original finished artwork [by Mike Vaughan, unsigned], pen and ink and watercolour on board with printed legend at foot and lettered acetate overlay, the whole tipped on to board, 33 x 22 ins (84 x 56 cm) A very fine and unique piece of original artwork for the second film featuring the iconic adventurer. This artwork would seem to have only been used for the Australian one-sheet poster (see preceeding lot) and shows Indiana Jones with machete and whip against a large plain circular background within an action-packed surrounding border.
(http://www.dominicwinter.co.uk/illustrations/H295.jpg)
A View to a Kill, dir. John Glen, 1985, starring Roger Moore and Tanya Roberts, original concept artwork for an apparently unused one-sheet poster design, possibly by Mike Vaughan, pen and ink with watercolour and acrylic, printed lettering at head and foot of board, 32 x 22.5 ins (81 x 57 cm), very fine. This artwork is most similar in overall design to the artwork of Dan Gouzee used for the US one-sheet poster. However, like the British one-sheet poster with artwork by Vic Fair, James Bond wears a white tuxedo and the printed titles are centred at the head and foot. As in the Dan Gouzee poster Roger Moore stands precariously high above the Golden Gate Bridge, but here Tanya Roberts clings to his legs while trying not to slip off with one foot dangling into the letterpress beneath. Christopher Walken is closing in with a stick of dynamite from the left while Grace Jones is leaping in from a spaceship above two other approaching attackers behind Roger Moore's back. A marvellous and dynamic piece of original and unique James Bond artwork.

Speaking of buyers premiums, this one is pretty classic from the auction mentioned above:
"A buyer's premium of 17.5% of the hammer price is payable by the buyers of all lots, except those lots asterisked, in which case the buyer's permium is 20.56%."
How many of them have the asterisk, you might ask? Every item except one.

Lots of great auctions coming up. Since Heritage and Emovie are so well-known around here, I've tried to highlight some of the more obscure auctions in this thread. I've updated the Google calendar itself to add all the major upcoming auctions:

Thank goodness Profiles didn't have a show when John authenticated the Dracula poster - would've been funny though to see him "betting his life" that it was real.

Interestingly enough, he did "stake his reputation" (his words) on the MUMMY 1sh being authentic in the episode. The poster sold for 200K and Joe M said that it was a record setting price. What record would that be? Maybe a record price for an item in one of their auctions?

Hey Mel,
Just wondering how big of a deal it would be to have active links on your calender. Currently it pulls up a map and gives an email address, but it would be way cool if you clicked on the auction and went straight to the website. Of course, as a a web caveman, I have no idea how hard that might be.

Ambled along to the Westminster Fair, always good to have a root around the tables, luckily for me my ponchant for modern paper kept my bank balance intact! That was until I nipped to the Cinema Store in Covent Garden and nabbed me a pristine 'Moon' quad, quality ;D

P.S. I'll be in the mother country from Dec 21 - Dec 31 visiting my sister, and hopefully I'll be meeting some UK poster pals while I'm there. I'll temporarily set aside all the 1776 unpleasantness.
"Reginald Jeeves: Foreign travel often liberates emotions best kept in check, sir, and the air of North America is notoriously stimulating in this regard, as witness the regrettable behaviour of its inhabitants in 1776.
Bertie Wooster: What happened in 1776, Jeeves?
Reginald Jeeves: I prefer not to dwell on it if it's convenient to you, sir."

London, but we're heading to Norfolk on the 26th. Gotta see some old school castles....
-
Norfolk is a nice area, but the landscape is a bit flat. For Castles, you should head up to Scotland, they have some really first rate one's up there.
Where ever you get, I hope you have a great time in Jolly old Britain...
-
Mel, it'd definitely be good to meet up for a beer or two when you're in London, just let me know when you're available and I'm sure I could find a suitable hostelry. Could even show you a few film poster shops in the centre of town if there's time.

Thanks for the invite - I'll have to take you up on that.
By the way, you London APF chappies should form a club and meet on a regular basis. We're too spread out in the US. Of course, a few scuffles will occur, but that's part of the fun :)

That's a great looking group of posters, and they have images that show the flaws of the posters and don't appear to be enhanced in any way. Who could ask for more?

Bruce, please stop posting irrelevant and barely-disguised attacks on Heritage. My post had absolutely nothing to do with Emovie or Heritage, yet you responded with an obvious dig at your primary competitor. Having received 100 of so posters from both Heritage and Emovie, I can "testify" that both companies post very accurate images of the posters for sale. If they didn't, I - and everybody else - would stop buying from one or both of them. I second Richard's comments on this subject posted on MOPO, (http://www.mail-archive.com/mopo-l@listserv.american.edu/msg50167.html) which others may want to read.
-
Mel, please stop posting links to ongoing auctions. We all work very hard to uncover the best of deals and several people, myself included, already found this auction. All you accomplish by posting this information is to ensure that the people with unlimited budgets will win what they want and won't have to do any work -- nothing will fall through the cracks. And if any of us who were planning on bidding do in fact win something, you have almost guaranteed that we'll pay more than we would have -- that is real dollars you are taking out of our pockets. I assume if there were posters in this auction that you were planning to bid on that you wouldn't have posted it. eyeroll
You are lambasting Bruce for doing something over and over, even though people have expressed discontent with it. Maybe you should heed some of your own advice...
-
Yep, gotta agree with Harry, part of the hobby is the hunt!
-
I for one am happy that people will post about auctions going on
as I have said in other threads.. I am not concerned if other people want to bid against me and make me pay more money
I already knew about Mallam's auction and I will win what I win if I win anything regardless of Mel's post.
stop being cheap and whiney

Well said, Harry.
Since when was Dread made the APF hall monitor or censor, telling other members what they can and cannot express, while all the while he has taken issue with people like bondposters (Adam), over and over, in multiple posts. deadhorse
-
DAMMIT, there goes my Dracula quad for $100.
If I am not going to bid on something, go ahead and post it, if it is something I want, everyone keep quite.
I am on the post nothing side usually as well, but this argument will never be settled.
-
You dont happen to be a dealer who runs a weekly auction?
I have never seen Mel post a link to my own auctions
as far as I'm concerned, I think all auctions should be posted in one long link blog.. right here
-
This is the second time Mel has shit on me from a great hight, as I was going to buy a certain poster, and hoped to get it for a good price. But now the world and his dog knows....
As I've said before, loose lips sink ships, and Dracula Quads...
I wonder if Mel is on a back hander from dealers... As he's certainly not on the side of the collector.
-

Mel wouldnt need to post a link to your auctions . You do a pretty good job promoting your own business.
My point was that you are a dealer. This is a collectors issue.
-
Excellently put Zorba...
-
"Bruce, please stop posting irrelevant and barely-disguised attacks on Heritage."
Mel, I made no attack on Heritage or anyone. Re-read what I wrote. You remind me of the man being shown a set of inkblots, and interpreting them all as pictures of people having sex. When the tester announces that the man is clearly obsessed with sex, he says, "Me? You're the one with the collection of dirty pictures."
You find attacks everywhere you turn. I guess that goes with being a lawyer.
Bruce
-

My point was that you are a dealer. This is a collectors issue.
Zorba, I have no idea why you would think that just because someone is a dealer that they are also not a collector. I've been collecting movie posters for more than 40 years (I still have some posters I bought 44 years ago), my collection is enormous (probably many multiples in size of your own) and there's a good chance I spend more money on an annualized basis than most people on this forum or any other.
when Mel "outed" this auction, he certainly outed posters I have on my want list
BUT I DON'T CARE.
I'll win or I'l lose and no one will hear a whiney peep out of me if I win nothing
thinking that dealers are not overall the biggest & most advanced collectors is pure foolishness
-
also, for those that have trouble with reading comprehension, the titles of this thread is
"Upcoming movie poster events calendar"
you can ask Holiday to remove the thread if you like (like it hasn't been asked before), but I already know what the answer will be.......
TOUGH TITTIES!
-

You are in the minority Rich.
-

Thanks Paul.
Even I get something right once in a while. ;D
-
again , i am with Harry, and no i am not being whiney!
it goes like this, if sell something then I want everyone to know where i am selling, if i am buying then it must not be advertised!
Heads I win, tails you lose!
-
You are in the minority Rich.
you don't know that Matt. did you ever poll all the 283 members of this forum (meaning did ever a poll that all 283 members voted happen?). your claim has no basis in fact, nor could you possibly back it up with any facts because no data exists.
but I'll go further - simply said, the fact that this thread exists exemplifies the belief that the forum owners believe this thread is needed. End of story. If you don't want to read the thread, that's your choice. One day someone may post an auction that I don't know about & I'll get that damned Farewell My Love 1944 Quad I'm looking for (because I'll pay the price..!)
-
as I have said in other threads.. I am not concerned if other people want to bid against me and make me pay more money
with the greatest respect, are you mental?
-
Paul.. I could care less what I have to pay for something if I want it and if the price meets my own criteria. Similarly if I lose such an item because someone will pay more than I will - I DON'T CARE.
that's the way it is. I am not a cheapskate and I'm not going to get bent out of shape if I never get a Blue Dahlia 1sh for my collection. If I'm bidding on one, I'll give it the old "College try". If I lose, my emotions will not be any worse for wear.
cry babies are supposed to be in a crib or in Mommy's arms.
-
I am not sure what the cry babies reference is? I am not crying about it and i am not being cheap.
I was picking up on the logic of paying more than you need to and not caring about it. I guess i have other bills and mortgages to pay and therefore will always look to get the best value I can.
Collecting used to be about getting out there and finding those nuggets, its still possible, but a lot harder since the advent of the internet
-
Paul.. if I'm willing to pay the price - I don't care about the money. It's a simple equation:
item for sale+value to me+value to other bidder=final price paid
Collecting used to be about getting out there and finding those nuggets, its still possible, but a lot harder since the advent of the internet
and concerning the statement above.. are you serious? collecting has become 10x easier since the internet. That's why stores are closing & conventions are dying as well as why for sale catalogs & advertised lists are also disappearing.
-
you don't know that Matt. did you ever poll all the 283 members of this forum (meaning did ever a poll that all 283 members voted happen?). your claim has no basis in fact, nor could you possibly back it up with any facts because no data exists.
I just looked into setting up a poll. I may still do it, but there is no way to make it public and there is no way to limit it to registered members. To all -- am I missing something here? Are those options possible?
One day someone may post an auction that I don't know about & I'll get that damed Farewell My Love 1944 Quad I'm looking for (because I'll pay the price..!)
So what you are saying is you want other people to find your poster for you and that you'll pay any price necessary to win it... how exactly is my 'lazy and rich' comment off again?
-

Harry.. you'll have to get all 283 members to vote
you can't do it
second, I don' tknow how an intelligent person like yourself gets to the above conclusion from my statements. Also, I didn't say in any post that "I'll pay any price". What I did say is I'll pay the price that I will pay, or I won't win (sic)
-
Personally, I want to see as many auctions as possible, and I would be happy to forward any I find.
Of course, my collecting habits don't match most of the folks here, so we are not likely to be competing for most items.
-
Rich, I'm being an ass and picking apart your statements... the same thing you do. Enjoy the sparing. :D
In all seriousness, this is a close community and that's why we all belong to it. Most people here know your tastes and if they ever came across the poster you were looking for, they would tell you. If the quad was ever listed for auction, you'd probably get 5 PMs about it before Mel outted the auction to rest of the anonymous APF guests out there who also collect Chandler. As we all know, it only takes 2 people to run up a poster price.
Guests typically outnumber members 5:1. There are clearly lots of collectors on this forum who don't contribute to it. For those who think that outting this information doesn't have fiscal consequences for your friends here, you are deluding yourselves. And as others have pointed out, it isn't about being cheap or being whiny. It is about being courteous and respectful of other members.
I believe in looking out for fellow members. That includes alerting them to posters that fall in their range of interests, AND not screaming it from the rooftops to their bidding competitors. Hell, I bought you a Chandler poster you didn't have simply because I thought you would appreciate it. It wasn't expensive, but it wasn't free and it did take effort that I didn't have to give. I have done it for others as well. But again, this is why we have a close community and a PM system.
-
Of course, my collecting habits don't match most of the folks here, so we are not likely to be competing for most items.
Most folks you know of... again, guests outnumber members 5:1.
To everyone -- no matter how small of a niche you think you collect, there are others out there that collect it too. Otherwise you'd win everything you bid on for a $1 at eMovieposter.
-
Harry
#1 of course as you already know, I very much appreciated the poster (especially because it was one I was looking for)
#2 while you think it is courteous & respectful to NOT post about auctions, everyone does not share your opinion and some of us think it is just as courteous to post about these auctions. As a matter of fact from previous threads on this issue (this must be the 4th time on APF), people argued both sides
#3 Holiday & Thierry clearly have not deleted this thread, nor have they deleted mid-auction, so this all by itself is an exemplification of their opinion that such threads should not be censored and seeing as they are the "Law Givers", it looks like this thread is here to stay.
#4 Do you think that by now, most people don't already go direct to Mel's calendar, where all these auctions are already posted anyway??
this is such a silly issue to me. It's a public forum posting & sharing public information. What do you think is supposed to be going on here???
-
and I do not care about how many lurkers vs members there are
it goes to my last statement above.. This is a public forum, not a private forum
the more people reading the posts, the greater chance that more people will enter the hobby & keep it vibrant
-
the more people reading the posts, the greater chance that more people will enter the hobby & keep it vibrant
Personally, I wish people would leave this hobby in droves.
Less poster collectors = more posters for me. wynk
-
#2 while you think it is courteous & respectful to NOT post about auctions, everyone does not share your opinion and some of us think it is just as courteous to post about these auctions.
That is not what I said, I tell lots of people about on going auctions... via PM. To all -- if you haven't got a PM from me, I probably don't know your collecting tastes, I haven't come across any good posters for you, or your tastes overlap to closely with my own.
#3 Holiday & Thierry clearly have not deleted this thread, nor have they deleted mid-auction, so this all by itself is an exemplification of their opinion that such threads should not be censored and seeing as they are the "Law Givers", it looks like this thread is here to stay.
As I said in the previous discussions, I'm not calling for censorship. I'm calling for respect and courtesy for other members. Most people are fully capable of self censoring when the situation calls for it. Some, as we have seen, are not. It is of course Mel's right to post this stuff, but it also my right to tell him to fucking stop it EVERY SINGLE TIME HE DOES IT. I'm sorry if you don't want to hear it every time I do it. If not, then stop responding to these threads and let him and me duke it out.
-
I find it odd that some people defend their right to tell other people what not to post, especially when there appear to be no rules against what they are doing. Isn't that kind of like asking for rules in a knife fight?
In my opinion, Mel at least doubled the likely total take for this obscure auction (I know I never heard of it before, and I might well spend 20K there now that I do know of it). When he posts a link to a high profile auction, especially an expensive one, I doubt he raises the take at all. But do you all want a rule against one or the other? If so, either Thierry or Holiday to make one, or else start yet another forum where such posts are not allowed.

You've been watching to much Butch Cassidy Bruce; watch for the LOOOOOW blow Mel.... ;) I for one think Mel did a wonderful job of pointing this auction out but if I had known about it you guys wouldn't... I think he was just trying to help us out. It just depends on what you are going after Matt; I picked one out. ;D

I so totally agree with this. especially the last part
-
Wow, I'm surprised that post is raising such a fuss.
This forum is not a "secret society of poster collectors." The principle of "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" applies here. The "few" of you who apparently hoped to keep that auction secret and not let the rest of us know are just being greedy.
As far as the ridiculous "kickback" allegation, that lady sent me an email about that auction to my administrator email account at moviepostercollectors.com, so I decided to pass it on to my fellow collectors. I did glance at the listings and was planning on bidding for a few, so to some extent it's against my self-interest to mention the auction publicly, but such is life....
-
Does anyone think that APF members/readers are the only people who bid on Auctions?

I am attending both the Cameo auction tomorrow and the Mallam's sale on March 17th. These are not top secret events and I knew about them before they were "outed". I welcome Mel's postings in this thread. I don't want to miss an auction I don't know about which might have something I am looking for.
On this occasion, I may face additional competition from bidders who did not previously know about the Mallam's auction. That's just my bad luck and a price I am willing to pay for being a member of an interesting and open forum. I still maintain an advantage in that I get to handle and check the condition of the posters close up (believe me, you need to do this in these provincial non-specialist UK auction houses) and I sit with maybe as few as half a dozen attendees with a direct physical link to the auctioneer during the sale, hoping that the live internet feed will stutter on the lots I am interested in.
As always, I am happy to check condition and/or bid on posters for established members so long as this does not conflict with my own objectives in the sale.

That perfectly contextualizes your comments in this thread for me Bruce. You didn't do the work to find this obscure auction, but now that you know about it you might drop $20k(!), and you fully expect that Mel posting this will double the final value of the posters. Gotcha. Check.
Again, I maintain that posting obscure stuff like this mainly benefits people who don't do their own research -- and it disproportionately benefits those with deep pockets directly at the expense of people trying to sniff out deals on posters the might not otherwise be able to afford. Please think twice next time Mel. And use PMs if you are truly trying to be helpful. 5:1 guests to members, that's all I'm saying.

I'm afraid I side with Matt and others on this. I too received the email to my website's address and I didn't think for a moment about sharing it. I'm not planning on bidding on anything myself as it's all before my collecting time frame, even if I do appreciate why some folks are excited.
One of the joys of this hobby, for me at least (and I know I'm not alone), is finding that poster bargain - one that would typically sell for more at auction - for a reasonable (ie affordable by me) price. I literally don't understand why anyone would want to spread the word if they see something that might pass under the big guns' radars and allow them to grab a wanted poster. In some ways I would actually hate to be in a position where money was no object in terms of poster collecting as it would take a lot of the fun out of it. Rich's comments that he doesn't care are utterly baffling to me and I literally can't understand why you don't care if you're paying $100 versus $1000.
The argument about the good of the many versus the few doesn't wash for me either. At the end of the day our hobby is something of a competition, no matter what anyone says. All collecting hobbies are about finding something the other collectors don't have. It's not about greed at all, just the competition.
With all that being said I didn't believe for a second that likes of Mark and (auction sleuth) Matt wouldn't have already been aware of this auction, but it's the fact that this forum has so many lurkers guests that is the issue and is why I would never post about an auction like this.
-
Still would like to figure out how the guest thing works. I posted something earlier basically saying that I am logged in in three places and a guest in 3 places... Anybody else check while not logged in?

I'm afraid I side with Matt and others on this. I too received the email to my website's address and I didn't think for a moment about sharing it. I'm not planning on bidding on anything myself as it's all before my collecting time frame, even if I do appreciate why some folks are excited.
One of the joys of this hobby, for me at least (and I know I'm not alone), is finding that poster bargain - one that would typically sell for more at auction - for a reasonable (ie affordable by me) price. I literally don't understand why anyone would want to spread the word if they see something that might pass under the big guns' radars and allow them to grab a wanted poster. In some ways I would actually hate to be in a position where money was no object in terms of poster collecting as it would take a lot of the fun out of it. Rich's comments that he doesn't care are utterly baffling to me and I literally can't understand why you don't care if you're paying $100 versus $1000.
The argument about the good of the many versus the few doesn't wash for me either. At the end of the day our hobby is something of a competition, no matter what anyone says. All collecting hobbies are about finding something the other collectors don't have. It's not about greed at all, just the competition.
With all that being said I didn't believe for a second that likes of Mark and (auction sleuth) Matt wouldn't have already been aware of this auction, but it's the fact that this forum has so many lurkers guests that is the issue and is why I would never post about an auction like this.
Hi Ed,
You have indeed nailed it by saying that this is in many ways a competition as we're all hunting down our favourite posters for the best possible price, often in direct competion with our fellow collectors.
But to play devil's advocate for a moment, if this were your collection that was being sold at the auction you'd very much hope that every possible measure was being taken to promote the event (which inevitably involves 'word of mouth') to gain you the best possible result.
I guess we'd all like things to work both ways by buying low and (if/when the time comes) selling high but it doesn't always work that way and I'm torn to which way I stand on the matter as I look at both sides of the argument. I guess it always comes back to the classic 'pay what you're willing to pay'. If that means getting something at a better price than that is a bonus.
Paul.
-
Paul: I can completely see what you mean about it cutting both ways for buyer and seller and it's definitely a tough one. I can't see this argument being resolved any time soon.
It'd be interesting to hear from the forum's owners on this. Without wanting to speak for them I'm pretty sure neither of them has ever posted a link to an upcoming auction or added a link to the mid-auction thread.
-
Amazing how many times this topic has been rehashed. T and H started this joint for their own reasons, one being to allow open discussion without the need to pander to sponsors. For those who appreciate open discussion, but don't want auctions "outed" - you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Why do guests get a bad rap? I'm sure they have reasons for why they don't chime in here. Why do people think that makes them less worthy to be informed of stuff than members?
-
Neo is spot-on.
and Ed.. the concept that I might have gotten something for $100 but now it costs me $1000 is off in calculation
the real math is this:
value to me+bid cost+other bidders=happy win/unemotional loss
and I doubt I could win for $100 those things I'm looking for that are valued at $1000, although $500-700 might not have been out of the question with less bidders.. But if I pay $1000 for something, as long as I was willing, I won.. end of story
-
You guys still don't seem to get what the major issue is here - it's people posting/outting/talking about "obscure auctions" when they have
NO INTENTION themselves of bidding/participating in said auction.
Matt, I and others have made this clear many, many times.

I am confused with this statement. What does it matter whether they participate or not? Or are you implying that Mel has some sinister plot to out an "obscure auction" because he just wants to screw with you? It seems to me that this whole issue is personal more than anything else. :(

Chris
thankfully, Holiday & Thierry make the rules around here
their rule is: post away
like Democrats & Republicans, there are two sides to an issue. If you do not wish to pursue information posted in this thread (Upcoming movie poster events calendar), then nobody forces you to do so.
If you wish for such information not to be shared, then you need to have your own forum where you make the rules. I completely disagree with the philosophy that because anyone disagrees with me, that I am wrong. This is a "6 of one, a half dozen of the other" issue. I'm for "6 of one"

I've never asked for a rule change and I don't believe anyone else has either.
It's more of a (for lack of a better word) "morality" issue.
I went on at length about "respect amongst collectors or forum members" in the Mid-Auction Thread. This is the crux of the argument.
So it's not a concern about Rules - it is a concern about R-E-S-P-E-C-T (I think there might even be a catchy song to go along with that
if you'd like?)
-
Who cares, that Mallams auction just has shitty posters anyway.
-
one person's morality is another person's bullshit
-
So Matt, and who ever else knew about it. How come you guys didn't PM me? I am not an asshole; if you told me about it and told me what you would be bidding on I wouldn't take it out from under you... I can see the point on posting it for the whole world to see but how many of you that knew about it spread the good word discretely?
-
Those guys never bid on anything - they just argue amongst themselves over trivialities
And are barely human...

here's a dilemma....
you find an obscure auction with some paper you really want, do you:
A) keep quiet and hope you are the only one ?
B) advertise is on this forum and add competitors to the auction?
that is a very different proposition to finding an auction where there is no paper you want
I am betting the majority of people would choose option A)
-

Third Option:
C) There is a Chandler 3-Sheet Rich doesn't have and you don't give a shit about chandler so you PM Rich and let him know... Then you hope he doesn't bid on your Dracula quad. But if he did that then why would you ever PM him again...

Well, then you move on. See, what you want is something in return from the favor you gave to him. If he legitimately and without malice wants the poster as well to add to his collection then so be it. You being magnanimous should not come with strings attach. Or at least that's how I would be. I would be bummed for sure but I wouldn't take it against him.
-
just post a link to the 3 sheet here
I'll be okay with it
I won't be bitching
I'll just bid as I would have regardless of whether 1 person or 100 knew about it
bid bid bid
win lose
results are the same
no crying
no emotional suicide
just on to the next one
no big deal
life goes on
-
if any of you think that the "collector's with the big pockets" don't know that there's a Dracula quad for sale (even at a lesser known auction house) or indeed that one day you'll find "a valuable poster" between a few floorboards than I envy your sweet naivity. If you try your best you'll find a poster that is pretty valuable, let's say up to a $1000 which may even be a little attractive. And it's a nice feeling, but it probably isn't an item you were looking for in the first place.
The "competition- not greed" aspect is highly emotional and totally irrational. Either you like the poster for your own particular taste / your happy childhood / because it reminds you of your cat or you like it because you find your own bit of precious.
The truth is that Mel's post has possibly increased competition between fellow men, fellow board members with the same amateur zeal and the same limited funds. Probably only a few will have a go at the auction anywa, because it is an unknown quantity, the quality or cost of shipping is unknown, as is the description of the lots etc. and it is much more comfortable to check Bruce 3 times a week. No harm in that. problem is that the collectors with big pockets aren't as passionate, they don't have to check Bruce's auctions or Rich's or even Heritage's. They care less about initial condition, let alone cost of shipping. they do know how to get their Dracula quad though.
I'm very much with Rich on this. Loose the emotion for the missed precious and stay passionate for what you really want and like.

Guests get a bad rap because they do not add anything to the discussion. They take without giving. They expend no effort to reap rewards. Screw 'em.
-
I certainly sympathize with both sides on this issue, which as Chris said, has been re-hashed repeatedly on this forum.
This most recent firestorm was ignited when Mel posted -- in verbatim -- Mallams correspondence to him.
I am re-printing it here because it is pertinent to this debate and has been lost in the melee.
"I am writing to inform you of the Vintage Posters from the 1950s & 1960s auction that is to take place on Saturday 17th March at 10.30am at Mallams Auctioneers in Oxford. This 240 lot auction is compiled from a 760 poster collection that has been untouched since the posters graced the front of an Irish Cinema in the 1950s and1960s. Mostly of British quad size this auction is a fantastic piece of cinematic history and titles within the sale include The Ladykillers, Dracula, The Man With The Golden Arm, Brides of Dracula, Saint Joan, Abbott & Costello, Return of the Fly, Funny Face and much more.

Ms. Fisher sent this email to Mel's site for inclusion on his board at moviepostercollectors.com. Mel, being the good guy that he is, took that request one step further and decided to share that information with us here at APF. Now, I know that there are a few of us who already had designs on certain lots at Mallams and it sucks if they now face stiffer competition in getting their posters, but what do you expect Mel to do? Sit on information that was sent to him to disseminate? Not share news of a notable auction with his fellow movie poster collectors?
And, what about the upside of this scenario? If Mallams sees a bump in business because this particular auction went "viral" (thanks to Mel), wouldn't it stand to reason that Mallams would look to run more movie poster auctions? Don't we all want to see that also?
In my mind, Mel did the right thing. He is helping Mallams and APF by informing us of an upcoming auction event.
There will be winners and losers at every one of these auctions. It is inevitable -- it happens every day.
And, none of us has the corner on internet auctions.
Mel might not get the apologies that he deserves, but what I think is infinitely worse is that he will sit on information that will benefit us all because it might raise the hackles of a few.
-
Wim: Can you tell me how the collectors with big pockets already know about such auctions?
-
They take without giving. They expend no effort to reap rewards. Screw 'em.
Sounds like the Occupy movement.

Well said, Ted, about how Mel was just informing people here.
Archie, that is a real snobby attitude toward guests, IMO.
-
here's what I think.. apparently while I want to own certain material and am willing to pay for it, others of you apparently "live for the hunt"
figure it like this: if Mel's post infomred someone who beats you as underbidder on the item you want, well.. you still have to keep hunting right?? he did you a service by helping stay on the hunt, which is what you live for, so you're still hunting and you should be happy

Nothing snobby about it. You don't have to be an expert, have a bunch of money or any of the other areas that one can be 'snobby' to be able to contribute. All it takes is a little time and/or effort. If someone can't even bothered to do a bare minimum, then why on earth should I care about them?
If Mel didn't have a history of self-aggrandizing auction posting, then he might be getting a little more slack now... As, essentially, a PR release, I have less of an issue with something like this than I do with outing individual auctions.
-
out all auctions
no reason any auction needs to stay in the closet
-
why on earth should I care about them?
I'm not here to teach Ethics, but your last statement says a lot.
Guests have reasons for not contributing and you have reasons for contributing. I'm not going to get into what you do and don't contribute because that is beside the point.
Surely guests serve plenty of functions in the mp society as well.
If Mel didn't have a history of self-aggrandizing auction posting
Stuff like this makes me realize why a lot of people probably choose to not be members. They don't want to deal with the bullshit.
-
Isn't it funny how all the people who don't make the effort to uncover obscure auctions and deals are the ones saying Mel is the in the right out them? eyeroll
Get off your asses fellas.

I've long been a proponent of getting things right and routinely fight against misinformation all for the greater good of the hobby, but why should I care about them as individuals if they can't be bothered.
What I do or do not contribute is beside the point, so I don't understand why you brought it up. This is about them contributing at all.
What's bullshit? Mel's self-aggrandizing or my mentioning it as a reason why people are not cutting him slack in this thread. Either way, it's a lame excuse. Avoiding bullshit in a forum is really not hard to do.

I would not describe Mallam's sale as an "obscure auction" and it takes no effort whatsover to find other small/provincial auction houses in the UK selling film posters.

Is that a challenge, Dr. Caul? :D
I'm sure I could find obscure auctions, as could the rest of us, we just can't and/or don't dedicate as much time to it as some people. This joint is about open discussion, with some exceptions, but outing auctions is not one of those exceptions, for various reasons. It's been rehashed to this vitriolic point, where even guests are being attacked.
Personally, I collect very few items in general, so that's one reason why I'm not going on a wild-goose chase to find auctions.
This vitriol is almost like The Treasure of Sierra Madre and "gold fever."
-

I would be bummed for sure but I wouldn't take it against him.
I am not sure I got your post here. Everything we do in life has some self benefit behind it. This place is a community; I figure if you build good relationships then we can help each other out. If I see something that someone doesn't have and I know they like it (caveat: I don't want it either) then send it on. If I found said Chandler three-sheet why would I tell anyone else but Rich? If he does me a favor later by finding me a poster, then great. If not, then I still get the satisfaction of knowing I helped someone get a poster they really wanted... Both are benefits in some way...
-
And yet plenty of people here didn't know about it...
I didn't. And even if I found out after it was over, it was my fault for not knowing better. I search for these auction every once in a while. Some will have a few lots in an estate auction etc some are big and stupid... This was a nice one; but I'm saving up for HA so I am out anyway. But if I was loaded you all would be in trouble.
-

Guests are not being attacked... They are being called out for what they are to a forum - useless...

I thought it was a rhetorical question. Not caring about people, regardless of who they are, is a situation that has many ethical implications. Like I said, I'm not here to try to teach them.
The guests could be people doing more research than you, and sharing it via whichever way they choose, but choose to not be a member here for their own, personal reasons. Just because they don't contribute here, they're not worthy of information that can be mentioned on a public forum? That is ridiculous.
What's bullshit? Mel's self-aggrandizing or my mentioning it as a reason why people are not cutting him slack in this thread. Either way, it's a lame excuse. Avoiding bullshit in a forum is really not hard to do.
Mel was sent a link to an auction, and he posted it here. No evidence of self-aggrandizing. My $0.02.
Avoiding bullshit in a forum can be very difficult. Case in point, Adam, and I'm not saying he was a helpless victim, he played a role in the way things unfolded.
Someone said a few years ago "words can be more violent than actions." Forums and other online entities have a lot of scathing comments, and some people choose to not be a part of it.
This auction "outing" discussion has obviously gone much deeper in meaning than it had to, but I think we all know the root cause of why people get mad about "outing" auctions in the first place, and that is, greed.
Last comment: if this kind of digression occurs often in this joint, I think it's safe to say that a lot of people, possibly the owners, are not going to hang around to listen to it.

If you try your best you'll find a poster that is pretty valuable, let's say up to a $1000 which may even be a little attractive.
That is quite a generalization Wim... you clearly aren't trying very hard:
Breakfast at Tiffany's 1-sheet -- $305
In a Lonely Place French 1-panel -- $550
Lot of 18 Star Wars trilogy posters -- $50
Schindler's List Saul Bass 1-sheet -- $211
Schindler's List Saul Bass 1-sheet -- $350
Don't Bother to Knock 1-sheet -- $350
Niagara 1-sheet -- $150
(2) King Kong heralds - $35
I'm sure I'm missing plenty more...
And I'm not even counting my Magnum Force 40x60 I got for $125 as that was from a garage sale. :) All of the above were won at auction. If they had been discussed here, do you really think I would have won them for those amounts?

In this internet age you do not have to spend ANY time or effort to find these auctions, certainly in the UK.
This is an open forum which I understood was for sharing knowledge about this hobby. Mel probably does more than any other forum member in this regard. By all means quietly grumble to yourself if a poster that you hoped to acquire at a "bargain basement" price is outed but please do not attack someone publicly for drawing attention to it.
A while ago, when I gave some background information on the Gangs of New York posters with the best intentions, I think my posting contributed to the auction being pulled. Holiday and Dale, neither of whom I knew to be interested in the posters, must of been mad at me but they maintained a dignified silence.

And they could be Martians. But because I have no idea who they are or what they are doing, why would I let that affect what I do or do not on this forum? That would be ridiculous. Nothing to do with 'worthiness'.
Also, I think that your are ascribing much more feeling/anger to this discussion than is actually present.
It has far less to do with greed, than it does with practicality.
My comment about Mel was with regard to his PRIOR self-aggrandizing auction posting and mentioning it as a reason as to why he would be under more scrutiny in this case than if someone else had brought it up.
And you just helped prove my point about the drama. I 'missed' everything concerning Adam and it was very easy to do.

What about the 2001 wilding Mr. STEAL ;)
-
Mark, you have notified me of posters in the past... and I thank you deeply for sharing that info. But you did it over PM, which is the easiest way to ensure the info gets to the people you are trying to help without causing unnecessary competition.
Everyone keeps saying how "easy these are to find" in the days of the internet and what not. Rich said the same thing like 5 posts into my thread where I revealed the Berwick lot. However, NO ONE ELSE HERE FOUND THOSE POSTERS? And no one found any of the posters I listed above. If it is so damn easy why aren't people doing it? Because its not easy... that is why. Maybe Mallams would have been easy, but they are not all like that. This discussion is about the principle, not this particular auction.

AND it certainly is not f'n easy in Canada moron1

I think it is hard to find the smaller auctions which have some posters. Very hard actually. If someone can give me a clue that would be great. I think from memory there was a website you pay to join and they tell you of all upcoming auctions that you can search on for posters.

So, how's that workin' out for ya'?
Hadda go all the way back to August for that dig?
In language you can understand, "That is soooo last year."

But I spotted Rich corrected his comment.. 'teh' changed to 'the'. That helps me now heaps to understand
That might be the first time he's ever corrected the "teh" so you're clearly pretty special Steve

Hadda go all the way back to August for that dig?

AAAAAAAh. Can you guys take this to NS4? I'm tired of rehash after rehash... Its like watching those scifi shows where the main characters never die and you go "how the hell did they make it through 100 freakin episodes..." Somebody die!, be wrong already or agree to disagree.

Here's one auction of 154 quads that has already been outed:

HA, All this crap over a dumb -ass ugly Dracula quad???
-
Wow this thread has continued while I was asleep
That is quite a generalization Wim... you clearly aren't trying very hard:
Breakfast at Tiffany's 1-sheet -- $305
In a Lonely Place French 1-panel -- $550
Lot of 18 Star Wars trilogy posters -- $50
Schindler's List Saul Bass 1-sheet -- $211
Schindler's List Saul Bass 1-sheet -- $350
Don't Bother to Knock 1-sheet -- $350
Niagara 1-sheet -- $150
(2) King Kong heralds - $35
I'm sure I'm missing plenty more...
And I'm not even counting my Magnum Force 40x60 I got for $125 as that was from a garage sale. :) All of the above were won at auction. If they had been discussed here, do you really think I would have won them for those amounts?
I'd say those are all examples of the category I described. Every collector will have his own little trophy and yes I have stopped trying hard. There's no need for it. I'm quite happy with the posters that I find the relaxed way. I bought an English rerelease doorpanel of Thief Of Bagdad for 2000 English pounds without chasing it that I might have gotten for less chasing it for years or haggling endlessly. And I'm honest enough to admit that if another one like that will turn up and fetch half of that price I will have to clear my throat a little. Still I will always love it more than the Italian Job onesheet I bought for 10 euro.
BTW Why would you want 2 Schindler's Lists?
-
Wim: Can you tell me how the collectors with big pockets already know about such auctions?
I did not say that they know of the auctions. Probably they are blissfully unaware of them. But the people who have the wishlists of those deep pockets, for example the people at Posteritati or Sean or Peter of MPE or Tony Nourmand, will definitely also get word of the upcoming sale of a DRracula quad.

Not a big fan of quads, myself, but there are some very cool ones in that lot. Good work Bruce, and the emovieposter team. thumbup
Some U.K. art is quite the ticket, indeed. cool1

Got a quick question about Mallam's; if you place a commission bid versus online bid are you more likely to just get the item for your commission bid... Lot those lobby card sets... I guess my question is, which is better commission bid or the salesroom route?
Thanks!

Thanks again for the heads up Mel!

Hope this is the place to post these photos... I went to the London Film Memorabilia Convention today and thought some people might be interested to see them! If this is the wrong place let me know where they should go!
First one's of the location, living in London you sometimes forget what an amazing city you travel around... (l-r) Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the one on the right with the dome is where the event is.
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/1LONFILMMEMCONV103121024.jpg)
It's in the cellar of course, no windows.
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/2LONFILMMEMCONV10312.jpg)
Great stand I've been visiting and handing over my hard earned to for many years!
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/3LONFILMMEMCONV10312.jpg)
-
This seemed to be the US corner, three dealers over from America for the event.
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/4LONFILMMEMCONV10312.jpg)
Had a quick chat with this dude, thought he might have been a member here but he said he was only on MOPO (forgot to ask his name!).
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/5LONFILMMEMCONV10312.jpg)
This couple had an amazing wall of lobby cards... and they nearly sold me a gnarly Goldfinger one with Bond and Oddjob for £30.
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/6LONFILMMEMCONV10312.jpg)

Thanks for sharing those AP, it looks as though it's smaller than the last time I was there, which is quite some years back. It used to be upstairs, in the central hall, if I remember right. (I wonder how much that Devil girl from mars Half sht was...) did I type that!!!!
Do you know if the one at Camden in the electric ball room is still on the go?
-
Glad you like'em Paul... have just zoomed in on that 'Devil Girl From Mars' and it looks like $1000 (the three US stalls had their wares marked up in $'s), does that sound in the ballpark? The "Queen From Outer Space' had $650 on it... not sure whether they're good or bad prices!
Weirdly enough I actually picked up a flyer for the Camden event today, the dates listed are 14 April, 26 May, 18 Aug, 20 Oct and 8 Dec (all Saturdays). I'll try and take a photo of the flyer and post it on here tomorrow (together with the rest of the Westminster dates as they've got some great celebrity signings coming up this year).
-
Thanks AP, that does sound in the ball-park...unfortunately.... eyeroll
I can never work out why prices on anything on that title are so high.
It's good to know Camden is still on the go, I don't get down south too
often these days, but I always liked to go to those two events, though I
always found that at Camden prices were much more reasonable... ;D
Maybe it was the sticky carpet.... ;)
-
Haha quality, I must get to Camden this year then, sod the cheap prices I'm in for the sticky carpet ;D
Will definitely take pictures of both Camden and Westminster flyers tomorrow so we all have the dates.
-
The stalls are on the ballroom part (wooden floor) at Camden, as if you dropped a poster on the carpeted part, you wouldn't get it back up as they stick to it... :D
Lets hope those U.S. dealers go, I may get that DGFM Half sht for $650... ;)
-
Great pics and thanks for sharing
-
Nice pictures, AP!
Lots of cool items in that room.
Can anyone ID any of those dealers?
But, the burning question here: what did Agent Ian purchase for his collection?

that's Randy Vanderbeek and his lovely wife (I think her name is Cindy.. but I forget)
-
I was thinking those lobbies on display looked a little off. And now I know why...
-
Thanks, Rich!
I've bought from Cory Glaberson before...rock solid.
Brinsmead and Vanderbeek (sounds like a Viking Cop movie, eh?)... do they have websites or Ebay ID's we might recognize?
-

Enlighten us Kahuna from the North.

Randy sells on ebay but I don't recall his username
Lee does not. he has a store up in Portland though.
on the lobby cards.. his back display is almost all repros, but his books (not including the repro books he sets up at the left of his display) are real cards
-
It's funny, but that "Randy Vanderbeek" is a dead ringer for lobby card collector/dealer Randy Ringgenberg, who I've known for 25 years and who goes to tons of shows like these.

In the olde days when Voorhees was still with us, Brinsmead, Vanderbeek & Ringgenberg performed weekly at the Slaughtered Lamb.

These should really be in their own threads... "No Longer Upcoming Movie Poster Events"...
-
Those are some good photos AP, I might have to check that out next year. Like the photo where one guy has an AWOL record bag, brings back some memories!
The Arg convention looks good fun too, I imagine it's hard not to splash out on a poster or two when seeing them in person like that.
-

That would be more accurate, I'll give you that...

Are there any upcoming events like this in the USA? Preferably near (or in) Florida?
-
Glad the photos were of interest, 110x75 thanks for posting yours as well... now just to create a new thread called 'Movie Poster Events... that have happened'.
Thanks for putting names to faces Rich, they were all very nice and friendly, but I think Lee (Brinsmead) wasn't impressed I didn't go for his original Goldfinger card. I did check with them as I noticed all the stuff on their wall looked like photo copies, but I think something got lost in translation as I thought they were just there as placeholders and they had the originals tucked away!
The reason I was thinking about buying a Goldfinger piece will become evident below...
Oh, Brude, yep there were a couple of purchases yesterday, will hold off on posting until another couple of tubes arrive. Rest assured imo my first four purchases of 2012 (and the final one from 2011... should be arriving Monday) are scrumptious ;D

Y'all notice at the LFMC event on September 22 they've got a special GOLDFINGER day, this is what it says on their website:
A special GOLDFINGER Day
A Celebration Of The Quintessential James Bond Film!
Cast and Crew Reunite For A One-Off Unique Event
Special Guest: HONOR BLACKMAN (Pussy Galore)
Special Guest: SHIRLEY EATON (Jill Masterson)
Special Guest: TANIA MALLETT (Tilly Masterson)
Special Guest: MARGARET NOLAN (Dink)
MORE GUESTS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
That's why I'm going to try and get a nice beaten up and cheapo Goldfinger item to try and get all the girls to autograph (might even try and get a photo with all of them!!!!). How cool would that be 8)
-
I'm not much of a Bond guy and I know the ladies are a bit older,...but the thought of meeting some of the GOLDFINGER girls sends a shiver down my backbone.
Good luck Agent Ian, we're pullin' for you...

I think if your 70, you'll look great with them Ian.... ;)

Hey Rich, doesn't Lee have a shop RIALTO (?) in Seattle? I think I've spent quite a nice (smoke-fueled) afternoon the year I also visited your ragged place and Dario's. I bought a few original Moon And Sixpence lobbies from him, but yes most is repro. As he told me repro's of originals he used to have. Great shop by the way, not only posters, but also nice toys and other such stuff.

If it's the same labyrinthian shop that I'm thinking about, I went in there once in the mid-90s. The wife was super-super nice and had some great toys, Lee was kind of a jerk when it came to the actual sale and rather pervy, which is why I've never bothered to go back. I had no idea that they were still in business.

38,000+ "likes" as well - I suspect there are more 'Ringers' in all those numbers than there are poster collectors.
BTW - if someone wants to grab one AND get it signed by PJ I will pay. Being from NZ, and having lived on a farm on the outskirts of Matamata as a kid (some 25km/15ml by road and less than 8km/5ml as the crow flies) from Hobbitton I think it will be very cool to have one on the wall...

Here's a collection of mostly European posters coming up for auction, collected by an Australian. It is being sold as one lot with an estimate of $2million.
ABC (Australia) News (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-07-11/film-poster-collection-heads-to-auction/4124930?section=entertainment)
-
Thanks, missed that report, but have been hearing about the collection elsewhere.
Ahh well, we can all dream.
-
Wow. What a collection.
Time to cash in my deposit bottles....sell some old sneakers on Ebay Asia....maybe pimp out my cats and dogs....
-
Some awesome stuff there but I sure don't see anything near $2 million worth, unless the exchange rate is not what I think it is, particularly if they're trying to sell it as a single collection. We know how hard that can be. Maybe they had Mrs. Miniver do the valuation?
-
from what I have heard, what was shown was the tip of a very large iceberg.
-
I wonder if our two major sellers have pockets that deep....? It may end up being broken up by someone we know... ;)
-
Ves would kill someone for that "Central Australia" poster seen in the back.
-
from what I have heard, what was shown was the tip of a very large iceberg.
Yep heard same.
Now, maybe Brewster can get back to work on some of our shit.
-
Incredibly stupid (although easier) to try and sell that as one lot.
Also sad to think that when someone dies (I am assuming this is the case) their collection immediately gets put up for auction after all that work and enjoyment. I know it's practical but still unfortunate...
And is EVERY poster in that collection linenbacked?! Oh and for an Aussie collector where are the daybills???
-
Much of it seems to be non-Aussie stuff, which lessens my interest but protects me from robbing a bank.
Some great stuff for sure, but several items on the website for individual sale are at prices 4-5 times what I paid for the same thing.
I am not a high end player but can't see this getting $2m.
It is being divided into 7 lots, only three are of movie posters. Two of those lots look potentially within decent price range.
-
Ooh, website? Link please.

Those 2 Kongs are great. I doubt this collection sells for over 1 million let alone 2, but I guess we shall see.
-
maybe not, but 6,000 posters, its only average $333 each,
-
Very cool, thanks Matt.
When you divide it out it does seem possible, but I think the buyer would be paying retail. Definitely looking for a punter, the pros are going to need some room for profit.
-
Something strange about this Josef Lebovic. You must register first to give tender yet he has NO list of titles on offer just a pics of several posters and a general description of what's in the collection. I've spoken to someone who has asked him for a list. No list!!!
What? People are just going send him a tender of 1.2million, more or less maybe. For what? Shit they can't see. Give me a break.
He's got a 3sh ZOMBIES OF THE STRATOSPHERE ('52) listed for $2,200. Bruce has sold 10 for on average $102 each. moron1

Peter
how can you even make such a comment when you have only seen a dozen posters out of the 7000 piece collection??
beyond that, I wonder if the French Kong 6 sheet is the copy that Sam Sarowitz sold?
-
how can you even make such a comment when you have only seen a dozen posters out of the 7000 piece collection??
He can BECAUSE he has only seen a dozen posters along with everyone else. How can you quote a tender without seeing everything you are quoting?
-

Matt, I'm sure anyone seriously considering such a purchase will be able to get a detailed list or will fly in to examine the collection in person
Chris, whether or not it is wise to sell as a few lots or sell piece by piece is a matter of perspective.
by selling in lots, though they will get closer to a wholesale price than a retail price, it will happen all at once.
if you sell piece by piece, who knows how long it would take to get your money
furthermore, unless it is sold as singles in say one or two giant marathon auctions, it could take years to accomplish such a task.
However if you sell everything for even say $500,000, you can then turn around and invest the money and if you invest wisely, with considerably less time involved, you could wind up achieving the same results without the headache of years worth of single sales
a good example is in the Profiles in History "Hollywood Auction" on July 30th & 31st
someone is selling a collection of photoplay editions as a 750 piece collection. I happen to know the owner personally and I know he wants his cash all at once, rather than over the next several years, and statistically, it possible the collection could even go for much more than I.. pardon me, I mean "he" .. could get by selling individually
-
He can BECAUSE he has only seen a dozen posters along with everyone else. How can you quote a tender without seeing everything you are quoting?
I don't even understand what you're saying Matt. I'm as seasoned a dealer as anyone is and I couldn't possibly make a judgement like that without seeing a vast selection of what's in the collection, or even just the 100-200 best posters
-
Hang on Rich, that's what I've just said. There are NO detailed lists of what's available, so why would you or anyone fly in to check it out. Why waste money on hear say?
-
Matt, are you saying that if someone like say Ralph DeLuca calls him up & says "I'm very interested, but before I will fly in to examine the collection, I will need much more information" that the auctioneer wouldn't provide it to him in some fashion be it pics or even a truncated list?
the auctioneer doesn't look like Mickey Mouse to me
-
a little like Donald Duck, but maybe I just need glasses (?)

are you saying that if someone like say Ralph DeLuca calls him up & says "I'm very interested, but before I will fly in to examine the collection, I will need much more information" that the auctioneer wouldn't provide it to him in some fashion be it pics or even a truncated list?
That's exactly what I'm talking about. I spoke with a Bricks and Mortar seller today and he said that information is not available at this point in time.
-
not available at this point in time.
so does that mean they won't have it later??
if the auction is going to happen too soon for a list to be made, then you call Phil Edwards and pay him a wage to go look for you before you consider flying in
-
can I be Phils assistant? I work cheap.

you'll have to ask Ralph DeLuca, or your pimp :-*

Hopefully it is made public later and I'm sure it will be but to what extent....we'll see.
Me pay Phil....yeah....I'm not that rich to do that. But someone else declined that offer to evaluate the posters for tender.

we should have an aussie APF/NS4 Meet up on location.
I'll bring the tofu.

-
thank you, but I still don' t know what you mean unless you're saying you couldn't find someone to go look for you because you couldn't afford to pay him, which means you also can't pony up $1.2mil (I'm there with you), which begs the question, "if you can't afford to buy it, why think of asking someone to look for you"
:P
and with that.. I'm going to bed.. :-*

if there is just a handful of Dark Knights it could just go through the roof!

I haven't got a list but have seen quite a few photos after registering. I thought the collection of 500 lobby cards might be within reach but turns out there are 4000.
Some of the stuff he has listed in his gallery with individual prices I purchased for about 20-25% of the asking price.

Rich, I based my comment on what was shown in the teeveeola segment. I was assuming they pulled out the best stuff for that, and there was a lot of chaff among that wheat. I doubt those pug fugly western posters or "Citizen Kane" reissues are going to set the poster world on fire. I was also only considering the movie posters, as I have little to no interest in travel posters, and I presume that might also be an issue for the collection, although from the website I see they at least had the good sense to separate them out. Maybe there's tons of value in them, I just don't see it (from what's available) in the movie posters.
-
Peter, it's obvious that the auctioneer doesn't know movie posters very well, but I find it hard to believe that a guy who has 2 rare French King Kong posters worth a lot of money doesn't have other like-value posters. Also, it's obvious he has lots of non-movie posters that could add up quickly
here is some blind estimation that I like to use
7000 posters
if he has:
1000 posters worth $25 (all prices quoted are retail prices) = $25,000
1000 posters worth $50 = $50,000
1000 posters worth $100 = $100,000
1000 posters worth $250 = $250,000
1000 posters worth $500 = $500,000
500 posters worth $1000 = $100,000
500 posters worth $2000 = $1,000,000
200 posters worth $3000 = $600,000
200 posters worth $5000 = $1,000,000
======================
6400 posters ............... $4,025,000
or how about this
7000 posters worth an average of $100 each = $700,000 then add all kinds of money for $500 posters, $1000 posters etc until you get to the KK posters which should be worth $50k-$100k each and all kinds of other posters worth something in between $100 and $5000
it adds up very quickly as a retail value
-
by the way, I'll go further in another fashion.
I have thousands of posters in my own collection as well as art, comics etc. I've never evaluated them as a collection and I do have lots of sub-$100 posters.
I have no doubt that minimally my collection is worth $1-2mil at retail prices. maybe even considerably more
then I also have stock.
it adds up quickly
wholesale value rises and falls based on the quality of the material in total
$1.2mil for that collection as a dealer price may be close to on the money. It could also not, but he would have to have scads of useless posters to bounce the values down for all the Big Sleep, Casablanca and Kong French posters
-
I don't disagree too much Rich, after Ari pointed out the per unit price I do see the possible value. My point was that for this auction, asking for very large lump sums for batches means you're either looking for a wealthy punter or institution (unlikely) or a dealer (way more likely) who has enough spare cash to let it sit in inventory while they're disposed of at closer to retail prices. I just took issue with the auctioneer's expectation that THIS auction will result in a $2 million dollar haul. Tell you what, if it makes $2 million AUS hammer price, I'll buy you a case of beer.
The sad thing is if you read between the lines it's likely that the deceased collector wanted his collection to stay whole and that's why they're being auctioned like this. Unfortunately I just don't see any other scenario other than it being broken up about 15 seconds after they're received by the new owner/s. Sort of a lesson for collectors I think. We like this crap a lot more than anybody else does and there's probably not a person on the planet who would keep what we've accumulated as a unit.

That Australian gallery exhibition looks wonderful. 6000+ posters is incredible.
I was looking thru some of the things they are offering for sale and am not quite getting the $1250.00 AUS selling price for a french poster from 1998's BABE. IMO, this price seems a bit off the charts. :o

Peter, while it must be initially sold as a group as per the owner's request, if the heirs wanted to, they could break such a tenet with legal help if it was true they could achive more money going another way, and the attorneys would be happy to get extended time frames enabling them to get more fees.
but you are correct that once it gets sold, the buyer is not held by any such tenet & seeing as I doubt any institution will be a buyer (they want such collection donated. otherwise they buy individual items they're looking for) the dealer or dealers that buy it will definitely break it up before they even get full possession

I think the . is in the wrong place. $12.50 seems more reasonable and likely.

With the extra photos, did you see anything interesting Rick? Much Aussie stuff?

I think it would be more profitable for them to separate each country of origin poster. Might get a few thousand people fighting for each lot. But oh well them's the breaks. Cheers Rick!

This thread seems like the right place to post that our 13th Annual Halloween Auction is about to begin (Part I starts on October 25th and ends November 1st, Part II starts on October 28th and ends November 4th, and Part I starts on October 30th and ends November 6th).
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUR BEST HALLOWEEN AUCTION EVER! We don't want you to take our word for it, so we will be adding a preview gallery each day between now and October 26th, each dedicated to a specific size!
Today we added the first preview gallery, which is of the 72 half-sheets. Go to http://www.emovieposter.com/unused/2012HWpreview/halfsheets/ (http://www.emovieposter.com/unused/2012HWpreview/halfsheets/) to see it. And then return each day to this other page, http://www.emovieposter.com/unused/2012HWpreview/ (http://www.emovieposter.com/unused/2012HWpreview/), because each day we will add another link to to another preview gallery!
Remember that the Part I auctions won't begin until Thursday, October 25th at around 9 PM CST (so you can't view the actual auctions until that time). Best of luck to you on any of the items in this incredible auction that you bid on!

I am currently holding a Movie Poster Exhibition and Sale in Brisbane. It was originally scheduled for a week but has been extended by 2 weeks due to an incredible amount of interest. It seems that people still like to see Movie poster "in person" rather than just look at images on the internet and it has been great to introduce people to the world of movie poster collecting. More about this with photos on OzeFilm ...

Thanks for your comments. Interesting that the people who have purchased posters have overwhelmingly preferred to get daybills rather than one sheets. They all say that one sheets are too big to frame and they dont like the foldlines.

I think daybills have a place in anybody's collection who actually wants to display their collection. And the stone litho look adds nostalgia, IMO.

Rolled posters, folded posters, flat & will include other non-poster items as well. Every item in this auction is going to be hand-picked for quality & condition.
Still in planning and gathering material, including consignment items.
Anyone wishing to consign some items for this auction should contact me as soon as possible with $50 and up items only.

It's looking like our next Mini/Major will be held in June, so even though our current one hasn't ended, it is not too soon to start sending consignments for the June one!
The first example of each item we receive is the one that gets in the auction, so there is a real incentive to send sooner rather than later.

Not really. There are plenty more like that! I live close to Cooloongatta and there are towns like Oodnadatta, Wangaratta, etc etc - names that have all been derived from our indigenous Australians.
From wikipedia ......Experts are divided regarding the Aboriginal meaning of the name, preferring either 'whirling waters' (woolloon and capemm) or 'fight talk place' (woolloon and gabba). Woollongabba is particularly famous for being the site of the Brisbane Cricket Ground, known as "The Gabba".
and from "I've Been Everywhere Man" here are some more ....
Moree, Taree, Jerilderie, Bambaroo,
Toowoomba, Gunnedah, Caringbah, Woolloomooloo,
Dalveen, Tamborine, Engadine, Jindabyne,
Lithgow, Casino, Brigalow and Narromine,
Megalong, Wyong, Tuggerawong, Wangarella,

A reporter sent me an email today about a theater chain in Wyoming selling 10,000 post-1987 posters. I talked to her on the phone for a bit, explained that most moderns aren't worth that much but some (Pulp Fiction) are worth quite a lot. She's supposed to write an article about the sale and will sent it to me. Will post....

Subject: Movie poster collector story
To: "AlphaMel1968@gmail.com" <AlphaMel1968@gmail.com>
Hello, my name is Kristy ****** and I am the feature editor of the Casper Star-Tribune in Casper, Wyoming. A local theater here is having a movie poster sale of all its posters from 1988 to present, more than 10,000. They are going to sell them for between $1 to $10. I’m writing a newspaper article and was looking around for a Wyoming-based poster collector. I couldn’t find any, but ran across your site. I would like to talk to a collector about this genre. I was impressed with your site and wondered if you might have 15 minutes free today or early tomorrow that we could talk about the basics of starting a poster collection. Or, if you know of a Wyoming-based collector that you could put me in touch with. Of course, I’d list your website in the article.
-
Great Mel you can explain to her why no one should be buying post 1987 posters :P
-
Mel, I'm curious.... Why did you tell this 'reporter' that some of those posters are worth a lot of money?
The only one who stands to gain from that is the theater.
If the proceeds were going to charity (are they?), then I would've done the same.
If not, you screwed the pooch for any kids looking for bargains.
If it was me, I would've given the 'reporter' nothing but cursory info.
Let them do the research themselves.
If I lived in Wyoming and was waiting for this sale, I'd FedEx you some pooch poop in a box.
I still love you, Mel.
I'm just cranky tonight is all.

Your right, Chris. What was I thinking? I should just concentrate on my stone litho daybill collection. Let me see what Bruce has going on for Thursday's daybill auction.

I think it is cool that you are getting recognition in the article. While there are some nice collector sites, you do the best job of presentation. Your home page layout and links to various features is well done. Obviously, your site must stand out for a Wyoming reporter to find it.

Here's the article - the reporter got my last name wrong. I talked to her for 15-20 minutes and she - like any reporter - used what she liked, and some facts were mangled, so bear that in mind:

By KRISTY GRAY Star-Tribune features editor
When Lance Madzey walks into the Movie Palace poster sale, he will know what he is looking for. Anything from George Romero or David Cronenberg or Clive Barker, all makers of good flicks. The “Naked Gun” poster “would be awesome.” The poster from “Mississippi Burning,” one of Madzey’s favorite Alan Parker movies, with the faces of Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe glowing by the light of a burning cross. Nifty. “I need to make sure I don’t run in there and just start bowling people over,” said Madzey, film teacher at Natrona County High School and a self-described ultra-nerd for all things cinema.
Here’s what Madzey is so excited about: For the first time since new management bought Movie Palace in 1988, theaters are clearing out space, selling thousands of official movies posters to anyone who wants them, said general manager Joey Houck.
He’s not sure exactly how many because staff is still going through them. He expects more than 10,000 posters representing some 4,000 titles. They will be priced between $1 and $10.
The theater will also sell vinyl banners and larger posters called bus-shelters, but they haven’t set prices. Feel free to dicker, Houck said.
Movie posters are collectible, but, like anything else, price depends on demand in relation to supply, said Mel Huston, a collector in Washington, D.C., with more than 1,200 posters in his personal stash. Huston is administrator of Movie Poster Collectors, www.moviepostercollectors.com, a portal for poster enthusiasts and a debunker of fakes.
Newer posters — those coming, say, after the mid-1980s — were mostly mass-produced. Theaters got several copies each. They are easy to find and demand is relatively low. Posters at the Movie Palace sale all date from 1988 to 2013.
Modern posters almost certainly feature a photo illustration, making them less valuable than posters from the 1920s to the 1970s painted by hired artists. Think Princess Leia showing thigh in front of Luke Skywalker (six pack shimmering through his open shirt) in front of a floating Darth Vader head. (They just don’t Photoshop them like that anymore.)
“I do look primarily for artistry. I actually rarely watch movies,” said Huston, who estimates that he’s seen just 25 percent of the movies that go with his posters. “You’d think most collectors would be movie fanatics, but they really aren’t. I just like the art and concept.”
That said, come to the Movie Palace sale and buy what you like, Huston suggests. Don’t go hunting for an investment. Look for posters from movies you love or movie makers you admire. If a couple of snakes wrapped around a jet is your thing, ask for the “Snakes on a Plane” poster. (Movie Palace has it.)
Also remember that several designs may be released for the same movie, so you might want one of each. And it never hurts to look and see what you find. There are always exceptions. Take the recalled “Pulp Fiction” poster. The film, released in 1994, turned Quentin Tarantino into a superstar and revitalized the career of John Travolta. The original one-sheet poster shows Uma Thurman, in her iconic black bob, stretched out on her stomach, ankles crossed behind her. She is smoking a cigarette with a pack of Lucky Strikes, a handgun and a paperback copy of “Harlot in the Heart” lying in front.
A couple of problems: Miramax didn’t have permission to use Lucky Strikes cigarettes and the “Harlot in the Heart” paperback in the poster, Huston said. Lucky Strikes threatened to sue, and Miramax ordered theaters to send back all the posters or pay a $10 fine for every poster not returned. Most theaters complied because nobody knew what a monster hit “Pulp Fiction” would become. Miramax reportedly destroyed the posters and issued new ones. But some survived, most likely sneaked home by savvy theater employees. The “Lucky Strikes” poster, as collectors call it, comes up for sale on eBay three or four times a year, fetching between $500 and $1,000. Huston has seen some retailers selling it for $1,500. (If you think you’ve spotted one, a word of warning: Beware of fakes. This poster is particularly popular with copycats. Research before you buy.)
You probably won’t find one at the Movie Palace sale, but there’s no harm in looking. In general, posters for children’s movies will sell for $5 or more since those are more collectible. Same goes for some horror flicks and cult favorites, Houck said.
Madzey doesn’t consider himself a collector, just a film nut. He has about 50 posters — enough to plaster the walls of his home and classroom with plenty left for storage. He believes posters, like the music score, are an extension of the film and prefers painted posters that show imagination. He’s got a list several movies long ready for when he walks into the sale: “Leviathan,” “Warlock,” “Darkman” and “Body Parts.” “Tales from the Dark Side,” “Commitments” and “People under the Stairs.” In his wildest dreams, he’ll find “Fright Night,” “one of my most favorite posters ever,” even if it is circa 1985. It’s painted, with a creepy house, a dark street and storm clouds shaped like spiked-toothed vampires.
“I’ve never heard of a movie theater doing something like this. Usually you have to work at the theater to get this kind of access,” Madzey said. “I think it’s brilliant. Whoever thought of it, it was a really great idea.”
Watch for Madzey if you go to the sale. He doesn’t want to bowl you over.

My last comment regards the steady decline in the quality of newspaper reporting.
That 'article' is riddled with errors that should've been corrected before it saw publication.
Whether the 'article' or 'event' is 'good for the hobby' is debatable depending on whether you're a buyer or a seller.
In your case, your site got a plug, which is good for you.
But, now that she has proclaimed you a 'debunker of fakes' to the people of Casper, Wyoming, you really need to update your site with Helmut Hamm's German Apocalypse Now info as posted to MOPO.
I'm sure Mr. Hamm wouldn't mind me quoting him:
"Heritage has sold a few originals, and when you look at one of their large images, in the bottom left border, roughly in the middle between the FSK stamp and the water drops, are two small white specks. These are apparently a printing defect, and they do not show up on the fakes. If you compare the one on ebay to any of the Heritage images, you will notice the difference. The fakes were made by someone in Germany a few years ago, and I frequently see them offered on ebay as originals."
Your role as a debunker is "good for the hobby."
Keep at it.
cheers

Before posting this, I looked at the first pages of this thread, and saw that this was created to share well publicized items like this, as well as exhibitions etc.
This thread is peppered with what were then other upcoming auctions, some were even described as "obscure" or were less publicized, according to the initial posts.
Once I posted and later saw Paul's response, i went back and read even deeper into the thread and saw that there are some that feel this is "outing auctions." I'm not about doing that. I had received an email about this auction over the weekend; and yesterday, it was listed to MOPO (and i'm sure the info distributed far and wide by that auctioneer, via the net, too).
My intent was not to "out" an auction but to pass along information about another auction/event that was occurring, in the very thread for which these kinds of things was created. I did not "out" singular lots; nor would I have.
And no one has any idea whether I will be bidding or not. I haven't yet taken the time to closely look at everything being offered.
I won't be posting any other 'upcoming auction" info here, as I respect the views of those who view it that way. ;)
-
I'm glad your changing your stance on this Jeff, it is a very touchy subject. The only people who win on "outed" auctions are the sellers and people with deep pockets. Some of us less well off buyers live for a bargain, and the more who know about an auction the less likely it is. If it's the case were it's been publicised on other forums, why is there a need to bring it up on this one? Just incase someone missed it? which is letting more people in on it again, and even less chance of a bargain.
I must add that all bargains are not hundreds of Dollars, it may well be a $50 piece that one could win for $30, in which case it pays for posting and the dreaded customs charges.... but a few more knowing of it will push up the price. I makes a difference to us real collectors who aren't loaded.

Thanks for the post, Jeff, too bad you let the shrill minority intimidate you.
There are and never have been any restrictions on posting about upcoming movie poster auctions on this forum, notwithstanding the lamentations of Matt, Paul, and a few others here.
In fact these announcements are extremely beneficial to forum members who don't have time to "scour the earth" to find them.
The Garth auction is clearly appropriate for publication in this thread because it is a large poster auction (156 posters.)
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/Garths.jpg)
Also, it is not remotely any kind of "secret" since it has been publicized on MOPO.
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/Garth.jpg)
Now, since Matt and Paul have tried to intimidate others who disagree with their "cloak and dagger" thinking, it's time to reveal exactly how all the dealers and some collectors find about these less-prominent auctions.
A while back I Googled "auction finder" and the first result is AuctionZip.com (https://www.google.com/search?q=auction+finder&oq=auction+finder&aqs=chrome.0.57j60l3j59j62.1592&sugexp=chrome,mod=1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8). It turns out many obscure movie poster auctions are listed on AuctionZip.com (http://AuctionZip.com), which aggregates smaller auctions. Type in your zip code and search for "movieposters." This is the current search result:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/AuctionZip-link.jpg)
The Garth auction is the one with 156 lots and clearly stands out. You can bid on the Internet on any "live lot."
Now don't worry about keeping track of this post. I've added this information to MoviePosterCollectors.com "Buying Guide" page (http://moviepostercollectors.com/Buying_Guide.html):
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/MPC-others.jpg)
And I'll be sure to post some of the more prominent poster auctions in this thread. Sadly for Matt and Paul, I'm not easily intimidated.
-
Brace yourself!
This is kind of a sucky thing to do Mel and I have no ill will towards you to start.
-
I didn't know about that site. I will have to look.
-
I am so happy with this information, I will look now and yous will never win another item now I will be bidding. Mel, what is your postcode, cheers
-
There's so much bad blood here, that it may be time to go to the mattresses.
-
What a crock.
Firstly, people do realise, no matter how great it is, nearly every darn poster collector isn't a member here or on any of the forums right?
If a guest finds this, you do realise it's pretty likely they can also find the links above right?
Strikes me as selfish anyway, want it all for me, no competition, blah and don't play they poor collector card, this isn't food or water, it's bloody posters.
Nobody who buys a single poster for any amount of money is poor. Poor people do not collect anything except food and maybe fleas. Gimme a break. And I live well below the poverty line in Australia, and I don't consider myself poor. Shit typing on the damn Internet wipes that claim out.
Oh boy, :)

If anyone had any question as to the kind of person Mel is, I just wanted to let everyone know that I personally told Mel that I've scored the odd deal on that site. It's an absolute mess of a site and it's fairly well known, but I've probably picked up one or two items a year that have slipped through the cracks. Keep in mind I told him this on one of his TWO visits to my home.
Mel, I invited you into my house, to meet my wife, to give you a guided tour through the exhibit I set up, and you take information given in confidence -- no matter how seemingly insignificant -- and use it to personally fuck me like this? I don't care if I ever get a deal through that site again, it's worth it showing your true stripes. What is doubly fucked up is that Mel thought he could take a very, very personal dig at me this way, but disguise it as a random thing. Wow, just wow. I hope it was worth loosing a poster buddy over.

Love that scene and that b3.
No comment on gun control but Ill get the cannoli and some baklava too.

There is nothing on it... The best ones are in those mom and pop auctions; it ends up being a lot of work... And the only reason I know about them is because my dad is an antique dealer and uses them all the time... to buy weird antique stuff. He's started buying and selling old wooden wagons - buy em for $1,000 sell em for $3,000...

Exactly. I just checked my history with them I've won exactly 5 lots in 6 years of looking at that site! Which is why I'm baffled as to why Mel would so personally fuck me over something so stupid? I don't care if I never win anything again on that site. You don't fuck someone on the down low like that... not for $100, not for $0.01.
Have the balls to do it publicly Mel. Tell them we've discussed the site, while you were an invited guest in my house, and then tell everyone you are posting it here publicly as a personal fuck you because you disagree with my stance on outing an auction early. I assume you were expecting me not to say anything?
Sorry to drag everyone into this... I think Mel and I are done here.

hey Matt.. didn't you start a post a while back asking people to post their stories and how it happened.. and yet you hold out on auctionzip.com
I'm so mad at you I could.. I could.. I could search auctionzip.com right now and make some bids
there.. take that!
-
In all seriousness Rich, this has nothing to do with Auctionzip. I talked to Mel about something in confidence and he betrayed that trust to try to get in a dig in a meaningless philosophical argument. It may seem small in this particular context of poster collecting, but integrity is one of the only things that is absolute in my world.
50s, you are welcome over any time you are in town. cheers

Rich you're missing the point entirely - Mel apparently had no knowledge of the site until Matt made him aware of it.
It doesn't matter if others knew about it or if it could be searched and found easily - it's Mel's actions in blatantly ignoring that that information was given to him in confidence. Matt, Paul, mine and others positions/opinions (yours included) are well known on APF in terms of posting links to auctions. Thus Mel obviously knew - beyond the information being relayed to him from a position of trust - that Matt would not appreciate the site being posted. And yet he did it anyways "because he is not easily intimidated". Takes a big man to not be intimidated by losing all sense of integrity.
It's a personal slight that's seems fairly inexplicable...
-
Well put, Chris.
-
Rich you're missing the point entirely - Mel apparently had no knowledge of the site until Matt made him aware of it.
That isn't true. Mel did know about it. But I did tell him about a handful of deals I found through the site and I asked him not to flaunt the it if it wasn't already being discussed. He knows where I stand regarding outing auctions and everything else you wrote was correct. He took this very personal dig at me despite my trust and hospitality.
Sadly, I've told Mel about many things in confidence which, for one reason or another, I've decided to not share publicly. If he starts posting them at least y'all will get to read about some of my other finds ;D
-

wrong Chris
I didn't miss that point at all. That's a personal issue for Matt and Mel.
the rest of the discussion about outing auctions is - as I have said many times - amongst the most ridiculous complaints I see on these forums. Or actually - this forum - because I don't see this argument anywhere else.
-
and really.. you can't be asking for informations to be shared in one place, while complaining other informations shouldn't be shared elsewhere
you're either for information to be shared, or you are not. You can't change your mind depending on how individual informations hurt or help you
-
Matt and Charlie should be nominated for the William Shatner overacting hall of fame.
As I said before, I found AuctionZip.com totally on my own, as could anybody doing a simple search for "auction locator" or "auction finder" on Google. It's the number one search result:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/Auction-finder-Google.jpg)
Matt and I later discussed AuctionZip.com but I certainly never agreed or implied to keep it a "secret." And why is Matt publicly proclaiming he got some of his best deals through AuctionZip? I didn't mention that.
Why explicitly reveal it now? I'm tired of Matt and Paul jumping on anyone mentioning any auction or particular item for auction, notwithstanding Holiday's pronouncement that there are no restrictions on this forum. They went too far this time by inappropriately intimidating another member for "revealing" a prominent MOVIE POSTER auction with ONE HUNDRED FIFTY SIX MOVIE POSTERS for auction.
And I'm sure Matt will continue to find many stellar deals through AuctionZip. It's still too much time and trouble for most collectors to deal with the smaller auctions. Even though I've known about it for quite a while, I've rarely checked out any non-live-lot listing. Typically, I only look at the auctions with several "live lots."
Regardless, the collectors on this board and the readers of MoviePosterCollectors.com deserve to know about AuctionZip.com since it's a useful movie poster auction locator.
It's certainly not a "secret."
It claims to have 1.6 million MONTHLY visitors and be affiliated with 25,000 auctioneers. (http://www.auctionzip.com/about.html)
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/AuctionZip-stats.jpg)
I've previously referenced it:
http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,237.msg93503.html#msg93503 (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,237.msg93503.html#msg93503)
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/2012/WizardofOzStyleD_zpsb9b52b26.jpg)
All dealers in this business obviously know about it and other collectors have expressly referenced it on the movie poster boards:
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/AuctionZip1.jpg)
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/MOPO.jpg)
In the end, AuctionZip.com is simply a useful tool, nothing more, nothing less, just like:
- Gavelsnipe.com (http://www.gavelsnipe.com) (free sniping)
- WatchedItem.com (http://www.watcheditem.com) (find number of watchers, which shows general level of interest in poster)
- Google Translator (http://translate.google.com/) (to read foreign language poster websites and communicate with non-English speaking dealers)
P.S. Garth's Auctions needs to change its business name, hard to take it seriously:

Rich this is what you posted and what I was responding to (maybe I should have quoted it earlier ;) ):
Matt, while I can appreciate your anger at Mel for what you perceive as a secret, your premise is wrong. Do you really think we don't know about auctionzip?
The premise was not that noone else knew about the site, it was - as I posted - that Mel betrayed a certain level of expected discretion that he was well aware of. So yes personal. But stating or showing "look how easy it is to find" does not simply do away with Mel's actions...
-
I was going to chime in on this never ending saga, with some philosophical questions, such as "what is the greatest good for the greatest number of people?" (utilitarianism - Jeremy Bentham). However, given the fact that this issue has been rehashed numerous times, and H and T have decided to allow sharing current auctions/fixed price items, it's clear that it would be futile to expect anything to change among the few people that continually whine about "outing auctions." I'd say that Ari, Rich, and Mel nailed it, and it's pretty sad that a few people, who consider their self-interests higher than the greater good of the hobby, have to turn so many "mid/upcoming-auctions" into these train wrecks.
-
OK - I declare this fight over. Neo, is it a clear tie?
Anyone see this auction (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX7wtNOkuHo)?
I think it is more about a violation of implied confidence and trust on a poster buddy level.
-
The problem is People keep saying for the good of the Hobby, but collecting is a solitary Hobby. It's a personal thing, do we share our posters with each other....No.

I can understand both sides of the argument, but I must say I'm glad to have found out about AuctionZip. It will be fun to explore another site and browse around. Remember guys and gals, at the end of the day, it's just a hobby, something fun and interesting to get lost in and reduce the stresses of life, not add to them.
-
This hobby is about enjoying the posters and memories those give items conjure up for us.
In that regard, Ive thought about this one aspect. Let' say auction X has a poster that an APF collector has really been looking for. The poster is nothing all that rare or fancy and not of much interest to a lot of others.
So because that particular auction event is kept "under wraps" (and im not talking about posting or outing individual lots here), this one collector, who could have potentially had this long searched-for poster, will never know about it and that poster will slip thru his fingers once again.
And all because only some here were privy to that auction and/or the knowledge of a website like Auctionzip.
Yes, the hobby is a solitary one, but isnt it also about helping others find what they are seeking, too? :-\
-
The problem is People keep saying for the good of the Hobby, but collecting is a solitary Hobby. It's a personal thing, do we share our posters with each other....No.
Solitary? Maybe..or You sure? (http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q737/Hope_Emerson/tonterias/poursuivi_zpsfddfabca.gif)
-
I think it is more about a violation of implied confidence and trust on a poster buddy level.
At least Charlie can prove yet again that he is not ignorant.
Why do others continue to mix up what this particular argument/issue is really about?
-
No Jeff, that is friendship, in my book a completely different story.
Lets say, My hobby is collecting posters, you may also collect them, but as a friend you help me find something, so you would not want everyone to know just me, as what would be the point of being friends and letting everyone else know.
And just as a side note. Lets say a Dracula Quad comes up for sale very cheap, where no one knows about it. For the good of the hobby it would be better in my collection as I collect Quads, but if you can get it for a steal, you ain't going to tell me about it... Solitary Hobby.
Now where we all come under the same umbrella is fakes, scams, bad dealers, etc. Yes we all should help each other with regards these, but buying is a personal thing, and sometimes your friends help you.

Jeff I get what you are saying but this particular spat isn't about outing auctions per se...
But, as stated before, why can't the PM functionality be used to notify someone of an auction?
-
Why do others continue to mix up what this particular argument/issue is really about?
Chris,
There is no mixing up of arguments on my part.
I am speaking strictly from the POV of whether upcoming auction info should be publicized on APF or not, since there were initial responses to my posting of the auction info the other night. Again, i can certainly see both sides of the coin here, and why it is touchy. ;)

Paul, for a friend, or if they are someone you know, you may know many of his her collecting habits or areas of interest, so a PM about that auction or lot would make sense.
But what about for people on APF that you do not know or are not friends with?
You will not know what they collect, and the said poster example i used above, may be something that you would not ever buy to add to your collection. So you would never PM that stranger, and the poster would be missed/lost out on by him or her.
That is how I was approaching that question and example. :)
-
But Jeff someone will still buy the poster who wants it, or they will sell it on to another collector who wants it.......usually for a huge mark up if a dealer buys it... ;) The poster will never be lost!
-

Right Paul, but, per my example, it will be "lost" = not obtained by the person who had been on the hunt for it and really has wanted to find it, simply because they did not know it was being sold in Auction X. ;)
-
But what about for people on APF that you do not know or are not friends with?
Jeff, you forget the amount of people who just lurk around here, "most" of us do communicate through the PM system.
As you are not buying you don't get involved with that side of things...
-

There's always more than one person that wants a certain poster..

Yes, of course there is; i am not being that literal in my commentary.

The premise was not that noone else knew about the site, it was - as I posted - that Mel betrayed a certain level of expected discretion that he was well aware of. So yes personal. But stating or showing "look how easy it is to find" does not simply do away with Mel's actions...
I think it is more about a violation of implied confidence and trust on a poster buddy level.
These charges are false. Please stop repeating them. I already said I found out about AuctionZip.com on my own. The facts are that (1) I asked Matt where he was finding these obscure auctions, (2) he wouldn't tell me, and (3) I figured it out on my own. After I found it on my own, we did discuss the site and some of his specific transactions but at no time did I promise or imply that I would not reveal what I learned on my own. I have not discussed and will not discuss his particular transactions. Matt and I have always “agreed to disagree.” I have always said information should be reasonably shared. He thinks everything should be confidential.
In any event, AuctionZip.com is not a secret and it’s basically like Ebay. Every “live lot” is combed over by dealers and collectors and you are likely to face stiff competition on the best stuff, just as you would on Ebay.
Furthermore, AuctionZip.com is a secondary outlet for auctioneers. Most auctioneers promote their auctions separately and independently. For example, I found out about the Dewey Law Firm international poster auction through a direct promotion. Later, I checked and saw that it was listed on AuctionZip as well.
Finally, I don’t trust these smaller auctioneers. It’s a jungle out there. Most of the collectors reading this thread will not have the time, finances, connections, etc. to make AuctionZip.com really worth the effort. But now at least they know about it and can try and it’s especially good for locating larger independent auctions like Garth’s.
-
Matt is clearly annoyed with Mel but, as Rich expressed, this should be a private matter between the two of them. Neither have ever betrayed my confidence with regard to certain things I have revealed privately, as far as I am aware, and I have respect for both of them.
This is an open forum with the objective of sharing information on movie poster collecting. The more information that is exchanged, the better. I would credit most collectors on this forum to have enough intelligence to locate an auction notification service on the internet should they so wish. In the UK we have equivalents to Auctionzip and you can get to hear about smaller provincial auctions with posters for sale. This is not secret information and if you can be bothered to spend your time, as I do sometimes, attending these sales (it is too risky to buy without inspecting the posters - these auctioneers do not know how to describe or handle posters) it is possible to end up with some reasonable buys. However, if I factor in the time expended/opportunity-cost, it might have been cheaper to have just paid a reliable dealer a retail price.
Sometimes a poster is discussed which I already own. I can relax, unless it turns out I have a reprint. Sometimes a poster is discussed which I want or a great source is revealed which I already knew about. That can be annoying because potential demand/competition is increased. That's just my bad luck. But more often than not I get to see great posters on this forum I haven't seen before and my list of wanted items just grows longer.

I'd say that Ari, Rich, and Mel nailed it, and it's pretty sad that a few people, who consider their self-interests higher than the greater good of the hobby, have to turn so many "mid/upcoming-auctions" into these train wrecks.
Your theory about the "greater good" is severely flawed. Everyone here has information they protect -- collector friends who are willing to sell, stashes of material, fair priced dealers, connections for Japanese/French/X/Y/Z posters, etc... I have asked others for help in obtaining certain posters, but I would NEVER ask anyone to give up their sources. And if I knew their sources, I would NEVER EVER even dream of posting them publicly. Some people network for an advantage in collecting, some people travel, some people speak foreign languages, and some people scour around for deals. They are all valid ways of finding what we want at prices we are willing to pay. People who don't have the time or inclination to search for posters will OF COURSE like it when someone posts that info publicly, just like I would love it if T posted all his connections for choice French posters.
Once everyone has publicly stated all of their connections, sources, tricks and tips -- then you can talk about "greater good".

I also agree that some things are personal that people do not want to share, and I've always said that there are exceptions to everything, including this case for the "greater good".
Regarding future/current auctions/fixed price items that are in the public domain, I disagree that such information should be squelched. H and T agree that such information should be allowed to be shared here, and I'd say that about sums it up.

The problem with that logic is that T's French connections are also in the public domain. All I need to do is learn French and travel there for a few years to piece them together. But just because I *could* find out most of his connections in theory doesn't mean I'm entitled to them without putting in the leg work. Somehow because obscure auctions *could* be found by people *if* they put in the time, they think they are entitled to know those tips and tricks without having to do the work.
I thought Mark summarized it well... some people have more time than money, and some people have more money than time. People who want all this stuff without doing any work are completely devaluing the folks who bust their ass with the first approach.

My stance is and always will be, post nothing active, not something that is .05 or $500,000 unless it is my auction ;) Not going to bitch about it, but that's just how I feel. It is easy to not care until you see something you had your eye on hit the forum. Like I have said before, any exposure adds eyes to items which normally equals a higher price. There is no winning this argument though.
-

HC, I don't recall people saying they "want all this stuff" (connections, tips, etc.). If members want to share information here that H and T approve of to talk about here, then people who are able to read it are "entitled" to see it. It's really simple.

It's tough to get a bargain these days. Ebay is so well structured and the searches refined to a point where few if any items get overlooked.
Only those who've picked up real bargains through obscure auctions etc will know the exhilaration of getting a $350 poster for $5. I think a lot of collectors are just resigned to paying the going rate, and perhaps even resent others getting a bargain.

Matt, before you go inviting everybody down to Jesusland, you should at least set out some rules. wynk
Don't worry, my house is one of the "safe houses" run by expats from the north. There is a whole network running from Maryland to the free zone (New Orleans). Now, I wouldn't recommend getting out of your vehicle. Rules of the road that I've learned so far living down here:
- If you see a yellow light, gun it.
- Even if it just turned red, go for it anyway.
- However, you must be polite.
- In fact, stop your car in 4 lane traffic to let people walk across in front of you.
- Also, wave and smile at everyone you see, especially your worst enemies.
- But never, under any circumstance, and I mean NEVER use your turn signal.
Those tips should get you to my house alive. cheers

I would qualify that there aren't many epic bargains on eBay anymore (i.e. $1000+ posters for <$100). However, I consider a $100 poster for $50 a bargain. Or a $500 poster for $2-300 a bargain. If you classify it that way I've gotten hundreds of bargains on eBay over the last 6 years and there are plenty more to come. A couple just yesterday in fact... it just takes patience and a lot of sniffing around.

I live in SC, but I'll be down in NOLA this weekend in fact! So wait, am I supposed to flash my boobies? Or look at boobies being flashed while driving? Either way the level of safety seems on par with normal driving in the South so I guess I'll be ok.
-
I consider a $100 poster for $50 a bargain.
For collecting that's okay. If you want to re-sell and make a living, there's not enough in it. Shipping, fees and your own labour costs cancel out the gains. I used to get plenty off ebay and other auctions but they're too competetive now. I look outside the internet mostly.
Some dealers in older posters have huge inventories, but most need to replenish. I missed a nice selection of daybills recently. After seeing the prices some realised I wish I'd paid the seller's price. It's getting tougher to source quality vintage material at cheap prices. Bruce has a good article in his DYK files on the subject.

I really like this guy, spot on Mark.
I used to get many Bargains at these local auctions, but over the last 3-4 years hardly ever......in fact I've been a member of this forum for the last 3-4 years....... eyeroll
All my recent bargains have come from my old contacts, guys who are tinning out their collections, or selling up in some case's. most of these fellows don't like the Bay, and refuse to sell at auction, in fact they will take less for a poster knowing it's going to a collector that will appreciate it, and give it a good home... luckily there's quite a few of these old boys out there.
How many forum gobshites can bugger this up for me....none woohoo Bargain hunters will always chase the bargain, I've had two this week, both private sales, and I'm off to view another fellows who is thinning out his collection this weekend.

To each their own, and everyone knows what their own time is worth, but I dream of being able to keystone items like that.
When dealing with top horror and sci-fi pieces I've been very happy buying to make anywhere from 5-25%
But my focus has always been on turnover and not stockpiling, my goal at Cinevent every year is to have at least 90% different inventory from the prior year.

I think the margins are a bit different on items in the 5 & 6 figure range!
-
I think the margins are a bit different on items in the 5 & 6 figure range!
holds true for 3 and 4 figure posters also.
I view it like this: any fund manager would kill to make 5-25% on every single transaction they do.
So if I can buy any poster that I think the will provide a greater return than the best opportunity I have in the market at the same time, I will purchase the poster
(provided I like the poster/image - I always buy with a back of my mind belief that if everything was worthless tomorrow would I still be happy and enjoy what I have).
It has served me well so far
-
everything Sean says here is correct, although it may also depend on other factors, like whether you have a brick-and-mortar location (retail or warehouse) that come with costs and/or customers ready to buy a certain % of these more expensive items quickly, reducing your exposure to some degree (just like with stocks where you hedge your bets). if not, you have to pay a lower % for these items
at the same time the further down the price scale you go, the profit margin neccessarily needs to increase exponentially to cover the amount of work and accrued costs of selling such items.

I'm speculating, but I think you guys are buying in a recycled market, where the posters have already been turned over. My guess is you're forced to operate in the 5 - 25% range, and probably have few alternatives. In Aust we've been spoilt with higher margins because the hobby has traditionally been very small. That seems to be changing now that whole collections can be sent over to the US to be sold by companies like you guys run. Five years ago that wasn't the case. The seller had to take what they could get from just a few local buyers.
We're also seeing people like you bidding in our local auctions and driving up the prices. The market is changing and so are the margins, that seems to be certain. The good old days may be over ... Either that or I'll have to start digging through a lot more attics! ;)

On second thought, this Garth's auction (http://www.auctionzip.com/aflive.html?method=getCatalogLots&catalogref=ATDO8LO2BV) totally blows. The minimum bids are very high, sometimes way above the typical auction prices. You can't bid anything LESS than the "suggested" bid, plus you have to pay the much-beloved 20% buyers premium.
The fact that Paul and Matt have screamed bloody murder about others revealing this stupid auction just shows how ridiculous they're acting and how most of these smaller auctions just suck anyway.
$200 minimum bid for this (plus 20% buyers premium)? It's a $50 poster on Ebay.
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-04/TSWLM.jpg)
The best poster of the auction starts at $2800 minimum bid (plus 20% buyer's premium). This usually sells in the $4-5K range, so it doesn't even start at a bargain price.

20% isn't bad Mel, some over here are up to 24% BP.

Lookin' over results of the 04/12 Garth's auction - sales results are what you would expect for an auction of this type with high start bids and too much paper that could be classified as low/no demand.
(http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a583/jstephenryan/Garths_zpsb2360450.jpg)
a few diamonds that saved the day from going red were a Double Indemnity and Rebel without a Cause - both went for 3K+. Other then that, not much went on here.
Something I've noticed from viewing these type auctions is experts and appraisers within the antique/collectible arena have little background or understanding of how to value and price film paper within these auctions. It's not their business model but I wonder how much more successful they could be cosigning to MPBid/emovie/HA.
I recently attended a similar type poster auction in Indianapolis and I'll just say I walked away extremely happy - most starting bids were too 'low' and other then a small crowd bidding online, I was '1' of '2' collectors who showed up and on the floor placing bids.
Here's complete sales results from Garths...

We folks in northern New York State are in for a treat this September.
The Syracuse Scare-A-Con runs from Sept. 12-15 and the Albany Fantacon, Sept. 14-15.
There will be plenty of poster dealers at Fantacon, which is the first show they have thrown in years.
I'm not sure whether there will be any memorabilia dealers in Syracuse...
The celebrity lists for both shows continues to grow, Syracuse will be headlining Sara Karloff and Linda Blair amongst others.
Here's their list of guests: http://scareacon.com/celebrities-2/ (http://scareacon.com/celebrities-2/)
In Albany, 160 miles east, the return of Fantacon is going to have a bit of a Night of the Living Dead reunion with John Russo (writer) and some of the stars, including Barbara and Johnny (Judith O'Dea and Russ Streiner)..."They're coming to get you, Barbara." Guest list here: http://fantacon.com/guests.php (http://fantacon.com/guests.php)
I'll update as things change. More celebrities will be added.
Should be wicked good fun at both.

there aren't that many people willing to sell their own merchandise starting at 99 cents with no reserve and being happy with how the results are regardless of what the results are
*cough*
No, not many people at all... (http://"http://www.vintagemovieposters.com.au/auctions") or even sell at "no reserve" and just happy if anyone turned up.
And with that I should like to quietly advise my upcoming movie poster event being my Quite Significant Vintage Movie Poster Auction - register here (http://"http://www.vintagemovieposters.com.au/wp-login.php?action=register") to ensure you get notification of when it starts or scan now to register later

As mentioned on MOPO, Christie's Vintage Poster auction is May 23. Try to avoid the first half of the catalog or you'll end up hooked on ludicrously-outstanding travel and other advertising posters.
Here's the link to the catalog. (http://christies.scene7.com/s7/brochure/flash_brochure.jsp?company=Christies&sku=CSK8843_SaleCat&config=Christies/eCat_210x267_Full&locale=en&image=Christies/CSK8843_SaleCat)

Sadly, Christie's is selling a stone cold ridiculous "signed" fake Pulp Fiction. I wrote to the auction runner and complained about it:

There are some great posters at that auction. Glad the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes I'm currently buying is cheaper that what their estimate is. (well saying that I tried selling my Dr Strangelove on ebay before christmas and couldn't shift it for £300 let alone £800. Had to let it go for £150 in the end. Oh well.)

Well if anyone decides to show, look for a geeky poster guy with the name tag 'Steve Ryan' and say "hello".

I got the catalog for the Cinevent auction on May 25, some pretty good stuff going up for auction. However, with relatively high reserves and the 20% buyers premium, there aren't many stellar deals:
http://hollywoodposterauction.com/auctions/18/lots/browse?p=200&w=0
It's going to be an eight hour (!) live auction with no breaks(!). Can you imagine sitting through that?
(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-05/HPA.JPG)
Here's the 24 sheet (!) for Carter the Great (http://hollywoodposterauction.com/auctions/18/lots/browse?q=carter%20the%20great), reserve at $1,000:

Some of the Cinevent reserves are sky high.
A $12,000.00 reserve on the Italian 2F for Breakfast At Tiffany's. :o
And an estimate of $15-18K.

Wow that's a great Linda Blair autograph for Ari...much jealousy.
I know someone else who met her and she seemed very nice

How stupid... $400 reserve on a to kill a mockingbird US OS? $250 for a US OS for "The Swan"?!?! Just lost some respect for Cinevent...
-
$100 reserve for two Rear Window Mexican Lobbies??? What are they smoking in Ohio?
-
uhno Guess I'll never make that trip... The auction is affiliated with Cinevent right? Rich, Bruce, Sean you've got to talk some sense into whom ever runs that auction....

not exactly affiliated
more like "takes place at"
and here's an upcoming event
ps: this auction has No Reserves and all items start at just 99 cents!!

I reckon the prices are steep too, however I spotted a TWA New York poster (http://hollywoodposterauction.com/session_lots/10499/show/TWA_NEW_YORK) with reserve of $200 that I think could fetch $1K-$2K. A slightly older (better) variant fetched around $10K at Christies (http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/posters-signage-advertising/david-klein-new-york-fly-twa-5546219-details.aspx)and David Pollacks site (http://www.dpvintageposters.com/cgi-local/content.cgi?sc=132) has a lesser version for around $3K

And that one is in poor condition too (surface scuffs)!

The hollywoodposterauction one says size is 27x41 but it should be 25x40, however it says "Re-release:No".
The images in the auctions are not good and the descriptions are not good either. I guess nothing in the description differentiates the poster as an original or a reprint. Maybe it is a reprint? If that was the case, that auction item sounds misleading.

Some people say they are going to have a major auction, and then Heritage keeps knocking them out of the park.
Went to look for a particular item in the upcoming July auction to see how a piece looks after restoration and came across these two amazing jumbo lobbies:

Frankenstein (Universal, 1931). Insert (14" X 36").
At last this great poster has surfaced! After 82 years of lying dormant, the Monster has finally arrived in the form of this amazing and stunning insert. For years, collectors have been searching for the lost poster sizes on this immortal and legendary horror classic but to date, only a few one sheets, a single six sheet, a partial half sheet and lobby cards have surfaced! This is the only confirmed insert poster for the film. And while Frankenstein was not the first horror film from Universal, it is the most famous. The studio had produced a number of horror related films based on important novels, including The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), and Dracula (1931), and with the success of each film, the studio looked for additional properties they could adapt for the screen. The stage play of Frankenstein by Peggy Webling was quickly secured and the film went into production. James Whale was given the directorial duties and Boris Karloff the pivotal role of the Monster. The rest as they say, is the stuff of legend, as the film went on to become an international sensation and is still regarded as the most important film in the annals of Universal horror. The borders on this poster had been trimmed at one time. However, the trimming was just up to the edge of the art. In the top edge there was a slight trim just into the upper yellow band. The borders were replaced as was a small chip out of the upper left corner that just went into the dark brown background and the edge of the blue band. The poster also had a few very small tears. There was one that extended into the "F" of the title, as well as three additional tiny tears into the brown background on the left side. The poster was never folded. However, it does have a slight crease that runs horizontally through Dwight Frye and Edward Van Sloan's credits. There are two other minor horizontal creases, both in the Monster's head. There was a bit of color touchup to some stress lines in the lower blue band by Universal's credit. There was some very minor color correction done to the Monster's portrait, as there appears to have been some slight fading. Yet it is extremely hard to accurately determine, due to this being the only known example. There has been some slight bit of color retouch done to the lower areas of the poster as well. And although this is the only confirmed insert known to exist, there are two known similar Australian daybills, both done in a different layout and color. This extreme rarity may never come to market again so seize this chance to acquire this while you can. Rolled, Fine+
Interesting tidbit about the daybills - also wonder where and how this was found (hopefully not in Haggard's garage) and what the estimate will be?
-

This is a pretty well-known tidbit. John certainly talked about it in one of his daybill articles.
More interesting is that both of them reside in the USA and not in Australia.

eyeroll Along with the 99%... Still a nice poster though.

Yes I was aware of their existence - what I was getting at was the "both done in a different layout and color" - I took this to mean a style A + B daybill but after rereading appears HA was just stating they are the same but different to the insert artwork...

I have just returned from Christies auction held this afternoon. I think it was their most uninspiring and uneventful movie poster sale in 18 years. There were just 15 - 20 attendees and almost 50% of the lots were unsold, presumably because of the ridiculously high guide prices. Perhaps all their time and effort was put into the morning session when a wonderful collection of travel posters were auctioned.
Craziest price was £3000 ($4534) plus 25% buyer's premium for a Breakfast at Tiffany's lobby card (Scene Card No 6).

No danger of that happening. I use the Jungle Book one sheet, which features in every auction, as a measure of informed research. Today's hammer price was £1200 ($1812) + 25% BP.

Hollwood Poster Auction starting at 2PM EDT (Eastern US time) today and will go on for seven hours(!). Some of the stuff is overpriced and probably won't sell, but some stuff, especially some of the vintage posters, is worth checking out. I've got three bids on some oldies (don't bid on those!):
Live Bidding system here:
http://live.auctagon.com/
Online catalog here:
http://hollywoodposterauction.com/auctions/18/lots/browse
If you do bid, don't forget to factor in the much-beloved 20% BP and 6% Ohio sales tax (apparently they're collecting it).
-
It starts at 1PM Mel,
you must be bidding on items in the first hour and are trying to keep people away. ;)

A delay in starting, maybe? Or something else?

I'm rather amazed, too, that info in the live auction window - important details like the year and size of the item (as well as it being backed or not) has been left blank on many items. :-\

Yes there are a plethora of foreign bogies...
I dont know who has the other 2 Scarface halfsheets...but the pre ” shame of a nation”
Would fit nicely with Ralph's Little Caeser & Public Enemy one sheets..
I cant 100% tell by the description but it looks like the trimmed Gold Rush window card
From Hake's had a quick fix up
Is the 3 ages one sheet the only paper ever publicly auctioned on this title?
-

For sure, Steve. Some Italian pieces can be true 'stunners' giving so called 'fine art' a run for the money, in many cases. :)

When this poster originally was auctioned in May of this year, it sold for a mere $3000.00.
So even if it sold for the current, minimum opening bid of $6K, the original sales price will double. ;D
-
As one of the insane bidders on the mummy piece originally when it closed for $3k I did a lot of research both myself and with the help of some other helpful members of this forum trying to find out when it was possibly printed and true origins to no real avail. The results put it, though still an early poster, likely not from 1933. A quote from a conversation with the original seller "We could not find the exact date of the poster release. We do know it was issued sometime around 1936.".
The original photos before slight editing from, insert whomever you wish to blame here for not knowing when to lay off the contrast and saturation, had much flatter colors and looks a little more washed out. Frankly I think the original images make it look better than the one posted by HA. Not a terribly large fan of how it as done artwise either but a mummy is a mummy is a mummy.

As one of the insane bidders on the mummy piece originally when it closed for $3k I did a lot of research both myself and with the help of some other helpful members of this forum trying to find out when it was possibly printed and true origins to no real avail. The results put it, though still an early poster, likely not from 1933. A quote from a conversation with the original seller "We could not find the exact date of the poster release. We do know it was issued sometime around 1936.".
The original photos before slight editing from, insert whomever you wish to blame here for not knowing when to lay off the contrast and saturation, had much flatter colors and looks a little more washed out. Frankly I think the original images make it look better than the one posted by HA. Not a terribly large fan of how it as done artwise either but a mummy is a mummy is a mummy.

Agree here.
The added (and unnecessary) saturation makes it look more like a reproduced print, rather than a (vintage) poster from the period.

The US OS is a work of art.
This is the work of, well, I'm assuming a blind man.

And yet there are still those who would say Heritage never ever ever "boosts" images

Added saturation is not needed, IMO; it can give a false sense of a poster's true color and imagery; THE MUMMY poster image on HA is the photo from the Palestinian auction / website... but with added "perks," is all.
To me, it's best to show any poster as they actually are.. dings, bumps, faded colors (or not) etc notwithstanding. ;)

I know Rosa said she is lusting after some non-Bogie pieces in the upcoming Heritage auction, but I look at a piece as beautiful as this and think... Damnnnnnn that's sweet.
(http://dyn2.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F0%2F4%2F6%2F8%2F10468917%5D%2Csizedata%5B450x2000%5D&call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D)
Sean. You are so right. Beautiful. But for some reason Bogie's face here doesnt do it for me. But this poster is beautiful. Agree.
The non-bogie one I really like... as in ''really''...''really'' like is this other one.
I think the artwork quality is just exquisite. Though I somehow think this looks more like a Brini type of poster.

I haven't gotten it yet so it has to be coming this week I figure
-
ok so the HA catalog arrived.
Wish I could be as excited as Steve Martin in 'The Jerk' and scream "the new 'catalogs' here! the new 'catalogs' here!" but truth be told, this is not one of my favorite HA sig auctions.
Only a handful of 3 / 6 sheets and CGC lobbies and some of the sci-fi's I was hoping for are non-existent. Not to imply this isn't the usual kickass HA auction, just not so much for me. I'll possibly hold off til Sunday PM and pick up a few items in the back of the catalog - sort of the way it's been going for me with a lot of these auctions over the last couple years.
The Wolf Man Italian is really sweet but will likely go on the high end or more of the estimate listed at 10K - cool 'Bullitt' 24sh but estimated at 5-6K - one for the completest I guess...

thanks for mentioning this!
by sheer happenstance, i'm going to be in turin for some days the weekend before before those auctions start...perhaps i'll get to see some individual posters displayed on the friday, that is if they display them.
now as for the italian part, i don't speak a lick of it, though it appears they do have catalogs as they offer annual (http://www.sancarloaste.it/Foto/Pdf/8m.pdf) subscriptions, so perhaps an email is best for a single one?

Chris. the catalog (nor the website) gives an estimate for Lot 225.
4 pages are devoted to the Bird, what it is made of (lead), its provenance and info on the film, without ever giving that dollar figure for the statuette.

wouldn't surprise me
while investments can be made at some level in collectibles, reality is that the average collector of any type of collectible doesn't have the business asset truly needed to be able to achieve profits in general: a solid customer list and their own website, mailing list or catalog to be able to sell without going to someone else who gets a commission (sometimes quite a high commission) and that doesn't even take into account market forces that work against any investor in any market.
Universal horror paper and maybe to some extent 50s horror-sf has suffered considerably since the financial meltdown and the Kerry Haggard scandal with both factors dovetailing in at the same time in 2008/2009, while at the same time lots of pre-1960 paper has diminishing values due to generational aspects of collecting. Even lots of my own buys (lots of them) have turned out to be poor "bank accounts" because of a reducing market in that area, or an overabundance of such material being offered in a small number of venues and when you consider that I am in perfect position to be an actual investor in collectibles due to my wealth of knowledge, longtime customer list and ability to sell with no external costs, it becomes very obvious how poor collectibles as investment can be

Yep, sold for $40,000, less than the $47,500 sale price at Heritage in 2010. Assuming s/he paid a commission to PIH, s/he took a beating.

the Metropolis result shows what a limited market there is for high priced movie posters and also how the market has dropped since the financial meltdown and the Haggard scandal.

Interesting story about the one for Jimi Hendrix: "A Jimi Hendrix "Pinnacle" concert poster
The first printing of a poster designed by John Van Hamersveld for Hendrix's February 10, 1968 concert at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Van Hamersveld was an important figure in the Southern California psychedelic community who also designed surf posters, including the iconic poster for Bruce Brown's The Endless Summer (1966). Contemporary artist Shepard Fairey modeled one of the images in his "Obey Giant" series on this poster, and later wrote about Van Hammersveld's design, "It's an illustration with the perfect balance of designed restraint and idiosyncratic, organic style. The image also, though highly stylized, conveys the essence of Jimi Hendrix" (I Heart Design: Remarkable Graphic Design Selected by Designers, Rockport: 2011).
18 7/8 x 27 in."

Not that it means anything but the $40,000 to $80,000 is quite a wide estimate on the Dracula 3 sheet
Is this 2nd Cimarron copy also from the Berwick stash?!
-
Looking good.. but I agree.. that is an awfully wide estimate range for Drac.
And as a side, Artistic, note... what did the original artist do (or not do) to Bela's right eye on the 3sh? It looks swollen shut, or worse :o
IMHO, a total lack of better detail paid to Bela, in the 3/4 profile..... nono

Well what a date to start the auction!
If anyone is interested in this item below, I may still be able to it cheaper than the $100.00 lower estimate:

I'm not trying to start a fight, but why blatantly undercut the competition in the "upcoming auctions thread." Shouldn't this be in the Dealer's Forum?

yes it should be, in all fairness

Just looked through the catalogue. You'd think Postermountain would prefer to be attached to an auction with a greater selection of posters that may have actually needed some form of conservation...
-

Bride of Franenstein, The (1953rr US banner 82" x 24")

And a picture of Boris from Son of Frankenstein ...why could they never get these things right.
-
The title of the auction is called, "then and now", but the auction items are a bit of a train wreck when combined. You have some cool vintage advertising posters interspersed with very recent silkscreen prints and autographed items. I own a few of the recent silkscreen posters. So I am interested in the results, but I don't get how they have a year-old Durieux right next to posters from the 60s and earlier? And how does a Black Keys concert poster by Malleus fit into the theme of the auction?
I guess like any auction, people will only bid on what interests them, but this one is all over the place thematically.

The date is the Ides of March.
How am I undercutting the competition when I don't have these posters?
I just explained I know how to get it cheaper if anyone is interested. I don't own the poster in question, well, one of them I do, but that's it. So it doesn't bother me, just thought I would point it out to potentially save someone some money.

Regarding your undercutting the competition, and "I don't have these posters...well, one of them I do", probably the one in the link you added. hitself Look up the definition of the phrase and the context of this thread, and there's your answer.

I wouldn't call it a "train wreck" at all. The eclectic variety makes it different from other auctions, and there may be some people whose preferred genre is new prints, and another who prefers more vintage items, etc., and they may check out different genres that they wouldn't have seen had the auction been items with a similar theme.
-
And a picture of Boris from Son of Frankenstein ...why could they never get these things right.
Realart must have just grabbed whatever pic they had lying around.
Or how about the 1951 Realart RR OS for Frankenstein? The head image is that of Karloff, from Bride, with some rather quick touch ups and shading to his forehead & hairline (they added the hair back somewhat):

Erm, no mate, if that was my poster (which it is NOT) why would I say I could help someone get it cheaper?
That don't make no sense. You would link to the cheaper poster instead, right?
Also, I am not undercutting anyone just to be clear as I do not have these posters.
Look up the definition of the phrase and the context of this thread, and there's your answer.
I do understand the phrase and the context of this thread, thanks - no harm trying to help someone though. I don't gain anything by that. It's the same as someone else saying "Hey, the estimate on x piece is a little high - you can buy it now for less than that". It wouldn't go in the dealers thread either as I am not dealing in the said poster. There is always going to be a little crossover in posts in any forum, so I am sorry this offended you.

You didn't offend me. I'm not going to waste any more time on this and point out your inconsistent statements.
Now can we continue with UPCOMING AUCTIONS?

Adam.. I don't think you offended anyone, however
what he means and myself as well and anyone else who commented is that your comment is ill-placed.
if everyone had posters to sell and planted that in each thread where any such poster is being talked about, the forum would be inundated with such posts.
that's why such a comment only belongs in fs/fa or dealer thread
now toe the line, or be disciplined

Lol, I understand mate.
I do apologise, but at the end of the day there wasn't any deliberate ploy to do any harm. I just made a statement to offer some help not realising it would cause such a hoo-hah.

Thank you.
Interesting that it doesn't state as much in the actual auction. Guess "Berwick" is losing its prestige
Or Grey is worried whomever the big player was who bought the 1st copy for $100,000 will be pissed knowing a 2nd was hidden in reserve ;D

That isn't a vintage movie poster. That is less than 20% of a vintage movie poster.
-
Here is the Heritage description (I was wrong about there being 2 I guess):
This is the only copy of this highly desirable one sheet known to exist in the world. This stone litho beauty, featuring both Cortez and Daniels, showed pinholes, as well as some tears and chipping in the image area, credits, and left border. There was a paper chip into the bottom left corner within the white field only. In addition, approximately one and three quarter inches of missing white paper in the right border and one inch in the top border have been replaced.
So the explanation I have is that the perspective in the photo is wrong - what we're seeing is the David Manners poster (Kismet?) ON TOP of the Falcon with most of the Falcon intact underneath...
-
Yes, I just posted that picture to show that the Berwick posters were not found in pristine condition.
A partial Kismet one sheet poster is on top of that Maltese Falcon:
http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/inc/archive_image.php?id=11470867
The black/yellow stylized "S" in the middle left is the beginning of the word "Skinner" (for Otis Skinner).
I don't think the Kismet one sheet was recovered and was taken off the underlying Maltese Falcon. Can't find a record of it ever having been sold for that matter.
-
That isn't a vintage movie poster. That is less than 20% of a vintage movie poster.
Yes, CSM has it correct - despite Mel's very misleading post, that is NOT a partial Maltese Falcon on top of a Kismet poster, it is the remains of Kismet on top of a nice looking Maltese Falcon.
-

Not "misleading" at all. See my prior post. A picture is worth a thousand words, which is why sellers rarely post the "pre-restoration" pics since the original condition was so bad.
-
Yes, you typed "Ignorance is bliss" and then showed a picture of a tattered poster. How could that ever be misleading?
Grey's photos were nice that they showed some nearly intact posters from the stacks were able to be recovered.

Cool, Carrie Fisher (her daughter) mentioned this auction on Twitter. Carrie Fisher signed some Star Wars items, including official posters, on pages 34-35 of the catalog.

Cuban poster display, at The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in Beverly Hills, CA.

I think all of the posters on their banner are modern (post-2000) designs. Do you know if the show also has original release stuff from the 60s and 70s? THAT would be very impressive to see in person!

O.K. This may take some explaining in print, so bare with me...
At the Vectis Auction. The Auctioneer, would say, "I can start this at £5". (so you would think they had a proxy bid of at least £5) So anyone who raised their hand, the Auctioneer would say "£10" which would be the next bid along, but they didn't have the first bid!! so whom ever raised their hand should have been given the opening bid of £5, but this was not the case, and this happened with all the lots....
Great for the consignor, but not so good for the bidder.
My Brother and I both thought all bar two lots had sold, as they actually said on those two," I'll have to pass the lot". In actual fact almost 50% never sold as they were using this "Jump a bid up" trick.. it seemed like they sold, but unless someone actually bid, it hadn't, and bare in mind the higher priced lots they made more of a jump on.
Clear as Mud...

Paul, I hope you gave them some feedback. It would be good having Vectis in the UK doing a good job but it doesnt sound good. I could do without all the shipping and customs charges as I normally buy from abroad.

Well, something is kicking off over at Vectis.
Of the James Bond items, over 50% have been withdrawn. Six of my already placed nine bids have disappeared. I have asked that my remaining three are cancelled too.
I haven't checked the rest of the auction to assess the state of their auction next week...
-
Yep, there seems to be loads withdrawn, a few I was going to bid on have been removed also..
-
That's a shame....hope they get it sorted soon. It feels like they need to work a bit on these auctions...
-

Now that's an understatement
-
Vectis seemed to pride itself on all its previous toy and train auctions... I wonder why there seems to be such a problem with the posters? dontknow.gif
Havent they been around awhile?
-
I've just been speaking to Adam, it seems the only problem is one of the Vendors has pulled out as he wants all his stuff in one Auction, which will now be held in December. This fellow has enough stuff for a 3 day auction, and he wants all the posters he had in this one moved to then...

Paul you greedy bugger!

I see.
Ok. So clearly not a Vectis problem.
That said, while on this subject, I do hope Vectis sort their site out in terms of bids one has placed and where they are in the pecking order on the Your Bids page. The problem I am experiencing is that;
1. I place a bid which earns me winning bid status.
2. A mail comes through from Vectis saying I have been outbid
3. So my natural reaction is to go to the My Bids page to increase the bid.
4. But no mention on this page lets me know which item has been outbid on.
5. So I go to the Auction page in question and of course there is no mention on that page as to current bid - just the expected outcome which could just as easily be surpassed by now.
6. So then I go back to the email to find the Item no. and thence back to the Auction page to that number and then try to remember what bid I placed and how far north I need to up the stakes.
Currently, it is very hard work. Currently, it seems the better idea is to just wait until the day and hope the Vectis and / or Sale-room software is up to snuff.
Or, am I missing a trick?
-
Or, am I missing a trick?
Yep - you have to bid $1,000,000 per poster to ensure you win it :D
-
Oh dear...
Just splurted my coffee all over the kwyboard.
Thanks.

Yep - you have to bid $1,000,000 per poster to ensure you win it :D
Hehe. You giving your bidding strategy away?
-
Not been around here for a while - very busy with life and whatnot.
After speaking with Paul, I thought it only proper I reply directly.
What Paul stated is correct; there are still some good items in the sale though.
As said in previous posts, I can and do advise Vectis with regards to their website and everything else I have no direct control over.
I am going to pass on comments and feedback to the management as it is very important.
Can you please email me with all your thoughts, comments, feedback and anything else: adam@vectis.co.uk
If you do that I will forward all on to the management.
Simes - please can you email me that info you posted please to the address above?

It seems that the Christies' vintage posters auction on 13 November will not have any film posters.... what a shame... girly2.gif
http://www.christies.com/salelanding/index.aspx?intSaleID=19891
-
Indeed, not a one.
But the Catalogue for the Bonhams event should be available tomorrow - one month ahead of the date. This to include one piano of certain fame.
-
Some really nice posters, nonetheless. Does the "low estimate" range listed equate to "minimum bid"?
-
Good point Vick. Not that I buy at Christies every day, but I don't think it is the same, the low estimate is not necessaraly the minimum bid. I seem to recall that the Martinati's Casablanca auctioned last year had a minimum bid of 6k, the low estimate was around 20k...
-

Uhm.. wonder which one... ;)
I am seriously considering buying a ticket to NY just to see that piano in person. Yes. I am that crazy in luv with that film girly.gif

I just got back, after spending about 4 hours at the preview of the Bonhams/TCM auction, "There's No Place Like Hollywood" items at their Sunset Blvd location. The entire inventory is there, and will be crated up and sent on to NY for the auction on Nov 24th.
http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/22196/
Wow.. is all I can say.. costumes, props. memorabilia... and so many posters up on the walls that were all on display.
I asked and was permitted to flip thru a completed and leather bound final script for GWTW, that David Selznick presented to screenwriter, Sydney Howard.
Plus... being up close and personal to the piano from Casablanca as well as the lion costume from The Wiz of OZ, a costume from Gilda and wardrobe from River of No Return (MMonroe).
Was a great afternoon. thumbsup.gif
Will post pics a little later.

The Morris Everett Jr. Collection, offered thru Profiles in History
Wednesday, December 17th, 2014 - 10:00AM
Being offered as ONE lot, with a potential of up to a possible $8M sale! faint2.gif
What an amazing collection!
https://www.profilesinhistory.com/auctions/morris-everett-jr-collection/
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2839605/World-s-largest-collection-movie-posters-fetch-8M-auction.html
-
Bets on if it actually sells and if so who (or probably more accurately whoS) does?
-
I know..
Let alone the sheer quantity.
-
I imagine it is going to pass.
I too will be buying extra powerball tickets to bring this collection to IA for museum display.. at a to be built location.. temp storage at my to be bought warehouse..
-
Grief - even with my compete lack of comparative knowledge, this represents a monster collection.
I am surprised a Bond film even sullies all that is contained therein. (Dr No lobby card)
I am however, very surprised as to why this is being sold as one item, one collection. This can only appeal to the dealer who will break it down for resale as opposed to 'someone who wakes up one day and decides he needs an entire film memorabilia collection, and who also has a spare $8m knocking about'.
If an auction house is operating this, why are they not advocating a piece by piece sale? Surely this would represent better $sales all round.
Thoughts?
-
I would imagine he is ready to cash out and not wait 3-5 years to piece it out OR just hopes it ends up staying together.

I'm thinking Morrie told Profiles that it was an "all in deal;" no discussion about selling it piecemeal.
PIH could take it or leave it, and they bit and agreed.
-
Ok, sure.
Will be dead interested to watch the process and results.
-
Wonderful that they've published a complete list. It'll be fun going though seeing how much of what I thought I had that was "rare" isn't so much. A great resource to have, even if I'll never get close to any of what's in it.
That said, if anybody would loan me the money I'm totally good for it. I could pay you back...later.
--Peter
-
Peter.....can you post the link to where the complete list is...I've been looking for it starting about two weeks ago and figured they would publish it eventually!!....Pretty Please :)
Yes Morrie is one of the best....I sold him some lobby cards that are in that collection....I was talking with him on the phone after his last auction and he said he really loved buying "dead scene" cards because they often showcased the unsung character actors of early Hollywood....He was just as thrilled with them as he was with any other paper on the title...We even talked about incomplete sets from early 1930's films that he just never could complete....we found out that he only has 4 lobby cards from Check and Double Check (the 1930 AMOS N/ ANDY film) ...and that I had 3 of the other cards he needed to nearly complete the set....and the gentleman that he is...he didn't even try to get me to sell them...
The best part is we have a serious rivalry going for silent Buster Keaton lobby cards.."the really good stuff" he calls them....we have gone head to head in bidding wars many times...

You have to remember that Coys' are not catering to the average savvy collector on this forum but rather well-heeled and successful punters who, on the same day, may be dropping tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds on buying a vintage car. Why would any such person be bothered to trawl the internet for a better price for a poster if it takes them minutes (or seconds) at work to make and cover the additional cost? The bonus is that they can take the poster home with them the same day.

It's nothing more than pointing out the differences in some of Coy's seemingly high estimates and what the same items have sold for elsewhere. :)

Yes. That was quite clearly the feeling there today. Lovely cars. The posters were relegated to a corner.
I only had a quick look at the posters. Must confess that the cars looked more appealing to me.

Yeah I thought about this when some of the cars up for auction at the end... Mimosas and caviar whats another 1000 pounds after dropping 700K on a Ferrari...
But the irony is that this sale was advertised on the forums for the posters when it is clearly out of bounds for the savvy collector...

I agree Charlie. On the other hand....i saw a couple of John Ford posters that doubt will sell for that huge price. No BP ...no shipping costs and no added tax for UK buyers. ..so...i would not disregard the standard (UK/buyer/collector)... you never know. But yes..Their focus is on Ms and Mr Wallet

I just read this on the Coy's site.. I'm assuming it applies to any and all who bid on their items?
Premium:
Buyers are reminded that a 15% Buyer Premium is payable on the first £30,000/ €50,000 and 10% on any amount thereafter of the final Hammer Price. VAT, at the standard rate, is payable on the Premium.
http://www.coys.co.uk/buy-a-lot.php
-
I assume it didn't apply to items below 30k
-
It reads as tho the 15% BP is added onto anything up to 30K and 10% added for anything over that amount. ;)
-
Oh well. I'll make sure I spend £30,001
-
And when one considers that some auction houses charge upwards of 25% or 26% sometimes, their 15% ain't too shabby! :D

They were all collections of Bond press stills.
One batch I got, another went for an incredible sum of $1600 ($1000 over my bid),and another I missed on because the ski chalet WiFi died and left me high and dry...
Hope you had success if you were bidding.

That Star Wars is super cool... but if it's an original painting why would it have credits?
-
The original painting (and the verso) are the smaller images above the poster image and it has no credits. Look again.
The one with credits was probably a sample OS run off to see how it all worked.

Was a little surprised on some of the estimates made on lobby card sets as a few sets or multiple cards for a single title as a lot were estimated at the price singles cards have been going for lately. Others seem like they are expecting record prices and rightly so seeing he condition of some.
-
I made a list. I decided it was too long. I looked at it again. The final list is longer. girly2.gif
I would love to know how he managed to assemble this collection.
Exquisite.
-
Really quite an impressive start to the collection sell off. I dont really do much with lobbies per say, but still nice to see a run like that all in one place.
-
Amazing to say the least.. and as Morrie has spoken and written about, his collection is a true labor of love and passion for the hobby. notworthy.gif
The cards for The Wizard, are quite something, too.
-
I dont really do much with lobbies per say, but still nice to see a run like that all in one place.
Agreed. I collect them. But seeing all those lobbies has helped me to appreciate even more more their artwork.
I also want to see if this auction will have an impact on HA's final sales this July. They have some competition.

I think you are right, ladeda.
Either that, or volume-mental overloads will begin. Brain short circuiting will abound!! imbecile.gif

True. It is overwhelming.

I ordered the catalog a few days ago, got the mini about a week ago. Was hoping the big one would get here. I prefer looking through those at down times to staring at a computer screen. Hopefully it arrives soon!
-
True. It is overwhelming.
it's incredible. the listings in the catalog seemed to get better and better for some three hundred pages.
hard to believe that this is just a small portion of an individual's collection!

Didn't you kids get the 1st catalog....it's a pip too..it's been on eBay here or there for around $10
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Profiles-In-History-Morris-Everett-Movie-Posters-Catalog-/261914384638?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cfb5058fe (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Profiles-In-History-Morris-Everett-Movie-Posters-Catalog-/261914384638?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cfb5058fe)
Anyway...from what I've heard... There will be tons of bidders coming out of the woodworks....as well as institutions and dealers....the material is far too rare and organized and well advertised....
There are some things to consider...Morrie was an avid bidder so it's nice to get a crack at HIS best material without him competing...for me it's the greatest relief because we get into some nasty bidding wars constantly...and now I get to go crazy...i am actually getting to raid the archive of my greatest competitor...and he just smiles....I fucking love it!!!! sm1
I spoke to Susanne at Profiles and she said there will be 6 Everett auctions total....so you can search the PDF file that Dan Strebin concocted....there is a ton of really great stuff that is NOT in this auction....so ....there is plenty of fun to come!!!
Heritage is gearing up for another great July auction and there are some great rare lobbies already on their site ....they finally added many new photos today!!...so maybe there will be some real steals after Profiles and Emovieposter remove some $$$ from the hobby...
A final thought...there is a massive amount of great material hitting the market this year...there will be a lot of great deals....keep your eyes peeled...
-
Very true Tait. Shame the pdf catalogue with the full listing is just a listing without photos. Though i appreciate that it is really a mammoth task putting together such a vast collection in one single document.
Good luck everyone. Happy bidding.

Ewbanks in Surrey is having a poster sale, i have a few lots going in and i will probalby taking a punt at a few others :)
-
I was just thinking over the weekend what the impact to prices there might be with a lot of Dwight's stuff and Morrie's all hitting the market at the same time in addition to the normal signature auctions. Maybe the hobby can absorb it all. The higher tax bracketed folks are going to be the majority of the buyers anyway I suppose.
-
Those Ewbanks estimates seem low on most of their items.
Is that to draw more to the auctions?

Not sure if anyone else has noticed yet but part one and two are actually being listed on E-Bay as well. There is a list of the cards and posters going up with the same low estimates. If they actually sold that low for some of the items I might even be able to afford some.

I really thought that this LA Bonhams was very special. Lots of posters that don't come to the market very often. I was the underbidder on one....oh well...it was not meant to be!! moron1 girly2.gif :-[ :-X eyeroll ;D

Was it just me or did they skip a few lots in the Bonhams auction? - I was going to throw my 2 pence for the Scarface poster, did I miss it or did it never come up?

Can't remember seeing that one. Few items didn't sell..that Scarface is gorgeous :P

Sorry to read this. Laura is such a fantastic film. Hope yoy get the poster soon!

strangely, my friend messaged me and asked to borrow my DVD of Laura just moments before I read this.

Thank you Tait. Very helpful. I am suffering from poster fatigue now. I am a bit overwhelmed. :P
-
Me too Rosa!! I was very lackadaisical this auction...I threw up a few late bids...but I just got my lobby cards from Profiles this week and I was very happy with them...so I am waiting for the December Profiles auction...so I can do some real damage!!
As a side note....not to go too far off topic.....I already own the Playhouse card Heritage just sold for $2100 and got mine for $1100....so now I own original release cards from 3 of my very favorite Keaton short films: Cops, The High Sign and The Playhouse!! I am a very happy boy!!

Not really an 'event' as such... Well, it might all be a matter of perspective.
But it seems http://www.atthemovies.co.uk/ has had a makeover; a new shop, a new site and an opening event with some characters you probably wouldn't want around your Christmas table.
Fair play though, I am not sure how she managed to get anyone to pop along to the opening of a shop... Maybe they all share the same hair salon.
-
friends?
"get an amazing, "one off" poster"
friends.
haha, but well done, shit, I'm lucky to get a wave from a hobo when i do a market stall :)
-
Ah yes. The 'one-off' poster. I did note that as well.
But fair play to them all. I am not sure they could get past the fake tans, breast implants and Marcel waves to realise that perhaps a film marketing company, in the interests of a film's success, would understand mass marketing would mean that more than one poster was ever produced.
Bless.
However, I think Tamara was about to buy the Thunderball quad so she can't be all bad!

-
The Goldfinger Hand Quad isn't yours is it??
-
nope, nothing quite so high value, although, i do have some very interesting Pulp Fiction Acetates i am letting go
-
And talking of Hand Quads, seems there is one in the up and coming Heritage Bond affair, nicely timed to open with some movie or other.
Not seen these for sale / auction is years, and like buses...
-
yes, its a good draw, i have a number of bond items in there but not the Hand Goldfinger unfortunately
-
I think I'm done buying from Ewbanks, it's such a twat on getting stuff sent on. I have no problems with other auction houses, but these.. moron1
-
what do you mean Paul? what experiences have you had? i know Alistair and would like to give feedback to him.
-
I'm curious about your experiences too please, Paul?
I was tempted by something in the last auction, but the lack of transparency/information on shipping/packing methods and cost put me off.
-
I know Alaster also, and he seems to try his best, but my last items took 6 weeks+ to get here. It seems they are keen to get you to bid and take your money, but getting stuff to you, they don't give a toss then. My last lot of items, when they arrived, there was two missing, one of which was sent out after I'd rang them, the other still missing... A fellow member from the U.S. here, bid and was told they wouldn't post to him, luckily I got his lot sent with mine after waiting, I'm tempted to say weeks, but months covers it better.
When I spoke to Alaster, and another member of their team on separate occasions about the problems, I was told it's up to me to sort out getting my lots I'd won.... When I explained that people from all over the world not just the U.K. may want a postal option. I was told they are not bothered as it's never affected their sales figures, and they are there to sell, and are not a postal service!!
The descriptions are very vague, so if you want to bid on a few items, it's a right chew on, and it's slow getting the right info. So I'm afraid unless there's something I must have at any cost, I'll give them a miss, anyway they won't even miss my meagre input of funds...
-
Interesting, thanks Paul.
I'm hardly mr money bags, so perhaps they don't care, but my money stays in my pocket when I see vague descriptions, no photos and lack of clarity on shipping costs/methods...it's too much of a gamble in this day and age. If they want to stay a local auction house, that's fine, but seems a shame for their consignees.
-
such a shame Paul, its going to make me think twice about consigning with them hearing this.
Paul
-
Tob, I'm guessing if you turn up in person all will be fine, but for us long distance fellows... eyeroll
Paul, if it's working for you stick with it. The one thing I have noticed with them is the estimates are getting higher and higher.... not to bad if your selling with them, no good if your after a bargain, or even just a good deal.
-
Estimates dont mean a thing really its the price realised that matters, and my last lots were a real mixed bag, some below, some in the estimate and some above. I would let estimates put you off as other than one or two bits mine have no reserve and thats the same for a lot of the lots
Paul

Paul
I do know that Paul, but when they start putting estimates up, it does make a lot of non-seasoned collectors think, I'll go that bit more. The two main tricks Auction house use before there's any bidding are, the low "come and get me", to hope there's a bidding war, and the high "it must be worth more that I thought", so people bid more. Even if they can just eek one more bid on a lot, they are up. Auction houses are not there to help the collector, just take money from them, as is clearly how Ewbanks are thinking. I don't fault them for that, but you would think they would have some gratitude to those who pay their wage's. I believe shop-keepers, and good Auction houses call it "customer care".
Also the trouble with the High estimate is, 90% of auction houses will only drop say 20% below the bottom estimate, so they are on a winner either way. if you get my drift.
-
Tales of woe, to be sure.
I have only bought once from them and that was via telephone bidding and I am local enough to swan over and pick the old blighter up.
If that response of 'we don't care, we aren't a postal service' is true, then it does seem to be very much against the grain of advertising their wares via several worldly conglomerate auction sites such as Saleroom. Clearly a website can be accessed anywhere in the world, but equally clearly, being on Saleroom is essentially saying they will service the world. Which in my estimation, includes posting.
How else would one go about it? Have a courier pick it up from the auction house, unwrapped and unprotected. Toss it in the back of his van. Get it to their shipping depot whereby someone will pack what is left into a tube - and then ship it??
Maybe I am blessed only with an experience of Heritage and EMP, both of whom do stand-up shipping. So, is the above how it works in other smaller auction houses? "You can win it, but then you're on your own."

That is exactly how it works Simon. One has to contact a third party to pick the said items up, take them to their place of work, package them and then send them off. Alaster contacted the third party for me last time, but to be honest it turned out worse, and I'm still a poster from a lot down... The Third party gets your invoice and packs to that. hence they missed one of mine off and lost another.. They can also see what you've paid. It's not quite the ticket. If it was worth the 6 hour journey down and 6 hours back, I may do it, but that's all cost on to what ones pays, not to mention time.

Well, fellas.
I am just down the road, so if you want to bid on something, do it in all good conscience and then let me know - I can pick up and ship, a la EMP. (Or, let me know first, and then bid in all good conscience - whichever suits.)
Happy to help the good and the welfare on these here boards.
Feel free to PM me as and when.
Cheers.

You, sir, are a standup guy.
Just be there for pickup early, Sept. 3 -- before old man Ewbanks opens shop.
Take all the posters. I know I will win them all.
Ship to me COD and forget we ever spoke.
Oh, and bring something persuasive...

What year is that Dracula insert? Looks like 40s based on NSS

Consider it done.
But in all seriousness, not a problem.

Consider it done.
But in all seriousness, not a problem.
That is a generous offer S. This is what makes APF such a great forum!!
Reading this has been most helpful but left me a bit disappointed. I was hoping Ewbanks could become like EMP. We need a good auction site that knows how to handle posters in the UK.
-
What great pieces and the Drac insert is a beaut! notworthy.gif
-
Seconded.
-
I am also happy to post on any winnings if you cover the costs, i drive past it most days, I have plenty of good quality materials.
I will also be having a word with young Alastair and ensure he knows the feedback of many a respected collector on this forum
I honestly didnt know that was the case re Ewbanks, and will suggest they need to change or lose a lot of business.
Thanks
Paul

The Dracula is indeed from the 1947 re-release of the film. Research indicates that a copy has never come to the market before. We're pretty excited!

Outstanding!!
I put your auction link in the upcoming auctions thread, too.

To answer the previous question, yes, the Dracula is from the re-release in 1947. As far as we are able to tell, it is the only known example of this insert to come to the market.

Wow, that was overwhelming wading through all of that faint2.gif. I understand completely WHY they had to do such large groupings, but it sucks when you just want to purchase one card and have to deal with the 4-7 other cards that tag along with it... Oh well, champagne problems, I suppose.

Well this can't be good for anyone, except maybe the auction house.

The Dante's Inferno lobbies brought me to tears...

Funny you say that. I thought the same. I spent the last few hours admiring that auction. Some of the hand tinted cards are simply outstanding.
-
I've given up trying to turn pages at page 2... Too time consuming waiting for the loading on mobile phone. Is there a normal webpage as flipbooks are one thing I really dislike about the web.... Sites that shove problematic eye candy on us over providing the content we are there for
-
Yes. Not sure why they insist on this format. It is most unhelpful. I have not been able to use the "search" tab so I had to go page by page. That said, I was going to do that anyway but it would have been most helpful having a better navigation tool as I wanted to identify if they were auctioning "my " paper.
Do note the emphasis on "my" as it will be "mine" hehe >:D
To dream...or not to dream....that is the question girly2.gif...

Gave up on the flipbook as well. Went for the 215mb pdf from here:

All those lobbies and *still* only one lot for me from my list. When will it ever end?

As written and posted by Morrie, on MOPO, last night, re: his Cleveland auction and general results, from this past weekend:
"Another successful auction #23 grossed $211,000 before after sales.
Movie stills sales especially strong with a very low pass rate. Convention was only moderately successful and some dealers did quite poorly. Future events will probably rejoin Cinevent.
Great idea with lots of planning and heavy advertising but very poor local attendance. Socially great as old friends saw each other after several years but financially only a few benefited.
We will keep trying.
The Internet and getting older does not help conventions."

Coys are up to their tricks on the 1st December with a mostly Bond and a slighter Star Wars set.
They also have the Thunderball teaser quad, making two currently up for grabs in the same two week period. HA being the other house.

Looks like they (hopefully) used a cropped, stock image? dontknow.gif
And even that isnt good, if some random stock image was used, vs. the copy they have for auction.
If they did... tisk tisk. nono

I emailed these folks yesterday, and got a response, re the Reservoir Dogs poster, just this morning. Seems the poster is being withdrawn as there is some question about it:
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your kind message in bringing this to my attention - I actually received a similar email from someone else over the weekend so have already been looking into it.
It was consigned by a well respected dealer who confirmed they purchased the poster when the film came out. Nevertheless, it does seem to be cropped and I don't like to sell anything where doubt has been cast over it so I am withdrawing the poster from the sale.
Thanks again,
Caitlin

Posted to MOPO this morning by Morrie Everett:
"December 7-9 part 2 of the best lobby card collection ever offered at auction. Extremely low reserves. A dealer or collector's dream at profiles in History. If it was not my collection I would be bidding on more than half."

They are well known amongst fine art collector. I haven't hear bad things about them... but then always TOS.
Anyone registered with them willing to share auctions results ?
-
If this site is primarily for fine art sales, I'm not sure I understand this logic for an industry so heavily invested in establishing clear and complete provenance.
From: Paddle8 About Page (https://paddle8.com/about/)
Our Auctions
Our auctions showcase a dynamic range of collectible works — from museum-quality contemporary art and design to fine jewelry and design objects with cult followings — all vetted by experienced specialists.
We invite individual collectors to consign their works to sell at auction or via private sales to our global network of buyers. Because we value your comfort and discretion, we never disclose results or publish sales in price databases.
In addition, we partner with celebrated cultural institutions and international tastemakers on special auctions to help collectors access the extraordinary, discover new passions, and make a difference through philanthropy.
-
Ah, you got there before me...
I had a message from the London office this afternoon saying the same.
-
Yes, bummer. Here is a message I just got from the film poster organizer:
Unfortunately it is Paddle8's standard policy not to publish sale results - this is one of the key reasons consignors are drawn to selling with us. It makes more sense for Fine Art - not so much with posters, but it's our policy across the board I'm afraid.
-
Love the wording..."because we value your comfort and discretion"
-
I was wracking my brain trying to figure out the angle on this odd disclosure policy.... then I put my cynic hat on and read over their statement again:
We invite individual collectors to consign their works to sell at auction or via private sales to our global network of buyers. Because we value your comfort and discretion [when preparing your income taxes], we never [leave a paper trail,] disclose results or publish sales in price databases [-- however little you choose to claim from the sale is between you and the IRS].

Paddle 8
Well - they are crap.
I was interested in the French Dr No petite which had a starting price of $1800. It was based in the UK. Their 'model' has the works based at the sellers' sites and only the photos and a bit of blurb are posted up about the item.
After I decided not to bother about the poster, there was an ensuing conversation asking after the details that were just NOT forthcoming during the auction, and only really available after much pressing for information.
In their advert, they said, tape marks to all four corners, surface paper loss in the bottom right corner, linen backed with no restoration.
My questions, and their answers today, are below.
- Has it been de-acidified and bleached prior to linen-backing?
We purchased it in this state from a person who had bought it as is himself from Christies a while ago. So we cannot confirm its treatment prior to linen-backing. However the paper looks stable, with no foxing, etc and the colours are strong.
- Is it definitely backed on linen rather than paper?
It is backed on paper and then linen (as is standard).
- Is there a linen border around the poster, and if so, what size?
No - the linen has been trimmed to the poster
- Is there any actual tape residue remaining on the poster or only staining?
No, we cannot see any tape residue, just staining
- Please confirm location and dimensions of paper loss
There is paper-loss in the following margin areas:
Top left approx. 1 x 1/2 an inch
Top right approx. 1 1/2 x 1/2 an inch
Middle left approx. 2 x 1/3 inch
Middle right approx. 2 x 1/3 inch
Bottom right approx. 3 x 1/2 inch
None of this was in their blurb. And none of it was forthcoming prior to auction, even subsequent to questioning.
I am quite frankly disgusted. Thank God there is a Bruce in the world...
Question, is paper backing and then linen backing 'standard'? For my part, I have never heard of this.
I feel compelled to put this in the Bad experiences column.
Cheers.

I'm thinking they mean that it was the "standard" backing practice to have a sheet of Japanese Masa paper between the poster and linen.

Went there yesterday. Got in to see the posters (and those Gorgeous cars). Anyway. Not sure if there's much point in what they do with the posters as these are left in a corner, hardly visible. And they have just a handful. That said, i guess that it was neatly done given the limitations.
All posters were for you Sir (Bond) and Mike (Undead) all Star Wars and James Bond.

Yes, it's amazing how a little splash of color can take a simple duo-tone poster comprised of three stills from boring to exceptional. Quite possibly my favorite 2001 poster -- which is saying a lot!

Agree. Fantastic design.

I've never seen so many lots with no bids. Although there are a lot of other auctions with "house bids", that aren't actual sales, of course, but that's another topic.
-
The vast majority are being passed on, so far....
Maybe 8 bid on, out of 75 lots. :o
-

Yep. That is a true statistic.
It's fun to watch the slideshow, though, and wonder which ones will get any bids. Unlike some auction houses where they pretend like every lot has actual bids.

I wonder... ;D

I sure you hope you don't mean eMoviePoster.com
Of course it is easy to get bids when you start at $1 with no reserve OR buyers premiums.
I AM amazed that we have around 100 items each month that can't even get that first $1 bid!
-

Like I said, I think they are overpriced. Plus, a lot of them are not that nice. Rare, but not nice. Also, Hungarian posters are a little bit of a niche market. Not a lot of people into them. Finally, there is the issue of size, at least for me.
I did win a couple 3, though. Right size and right price, imo.

It's no secret what many auction houses do.
For the record, I wasn't implying your site.
-
Only 30 out of the 221 poster lots sold, when all was said and done.
-
So 27 for Matt and 3 for me. Sounds about right.

I'm just curious what auction site you're talking about. It's not like there are many movie poster auctions around
you have HA, MPE, EMP & my own MPB
are you talking 'actual shill bidding' or are you talking 'bidding against the book' (aka, absentee bids left by bidders to be executed by the auction house as bidding continues)
can you post actual examples of shill bidding the way that one of our members (Zac) has researched ShutterIslandOVMP here on APF?

My experience of auction rooms in the UK is that some auctioneers clearly identify all or some lots which pass and others do not. If an auctioneer has proxy bids on his book, the highest of which is still below the reserve, he will start the bidding off and up to that maximum. If there is no interest from the room or the internet he brings the hammer down. It may appear that the lot has been won by someone but the auctioneer was simply bidding on behalf of the absentee bidder(s) as instructed and the lot did not sell.

I got three of the Hungarian posters. Roman Holiday, the Fencing poster, and Battle of Algiers. I'm sure I overpaid for the Roman Holiday poster, but it's one of my favorite films and I have a soft spot for this school of design.

This was the way Sotheby's and Christie's would do it in the U.S. as well, when I regularly attended their auctions in the 1990s. The auctioneer would slam down the hammer and, at the same exact time, in a whisper, say "Pass" (those from England said "Pahhss").
I hated that practice then, and hope they abandoned it.

at Profiles in History, when an item passes they say "paddle #XXXX" and it is obvious after a few passed lots that said numbers (not always the same from one lot to the next) are to identify unsold lots. Profiles doesn't get too many unsold lots - probably hovers around a few percent at most. I looked at the unsold lots from the Morrie auction and there was a low amount and it was obvious why some lots did not sell [opening bid too high]
Heritage just notes the item has passed and it is still available on HA.com and if you are watching the live auction, there is no mistake that the item did not sell.
I also know that Grey doesn't take very many lots with reserves anymore. He wants to sell the stuff and get the commission.

It hurts more when it starts very low and suddenly 7m bidders pop and it goes all high up im talking to Planet Mars high sort of level. I thought this was a hobby for a few "selected" nerds .. feels more like thousands of herds
Can't people buy cars or shoes instead? Handbags anyone?

Good luck to all of those bidding in tomorrow's HA auction. So many gorgeous pieces of paper--varying condition though. I hope I win something (I work all weekend---so it's all snipe bids) but at the same time, i hope I'm outbid on everything. Soooo pins-and-needles suspenseful / nerve-wracking!
But again, good luck to everyone.

Adrian Cowdry has started up Excalibur Auctions - he has something later this month with an array of nice looking items...
-
The images are hard to view on a mobile device as they are darkish and small and is not possible to stretch screen bigger to see the images, need to click each item to assess whether it looks good. I don't buy on film title but the art but I can't easily see all the posters. It probably is better on desktop PCs, just mobile for me is too difficult. I don't have the patience required to open every thumbnail to enlarge it to see the art. However, good luck to bidders and sellers.
-
The photo quality (or lack thereof) in this auction, has been a bit of discussion on MOPO. :-\
-
Yes, image quality AND detailed information are both up for improvement...
-
As mentioned on MOPO by Morris Everett this morning (and a US auction for you, Paul ;) ):
"We finally are up and running with 605 lots of goodies being auctioned starting at 1:00 pm on Saturday June 4th at Cinevent. 405 lots of primo stills collected since 1938 by Alan Turner who was a staple at Marc Ricci's Memory shop in NYC.
200 lots of posters, lobby cards and other surprises. Contact the Last Moving Picture Co. for bids and info.
This is the third auction of Alan's collection of 186,000 stills and there will be two more in '17 and '18. Then we will work on another collection. Just in case the link is not live in this post, go to: http://www.hollywoodposterauction.com
Thanks! See you in Columbus!"

Having just played with this site a little, please be aware that the search function only seems to work when you are on Page 1 of the seven pages.
When on page 6 (for example), searching for Clint, nothing came up. This was duplicated with Jill, Rathbone, and others,
When on Page 1, the search function brought up examples of all the above.
Strange.

The photo quality (or lack thereof) in this auction, has been a bit of discussion on MOPO. :-\
Have just had a look at this discussion.... I am not a visitor to this forum, or discussion group, or however one should describe this method of chatting, but;
1. There is no doubting that the images could be a Lot better than what is currently on Invaluable. Politeness aside, (even if this really is an issue in shouty forums spaces), a suggested norm for an image that depicts as is, is still a long way from the current presentation. Especially for the quality titles on offer for what may be the Excalibur inaugural sale.
2. Mopo is a really strange forum...! It might have started in 1995, but has it ever been updated Since 1995?
Come on Ade buddy. There may or may not be some tacticians in evidence, but this is still a long way from the Cineart shop and site you operated in times past.
Wishing you luck and progress nonetheless.

Did anyone note prices and successes for the above auction?
-
The Harry Potter Azkaban lenticular, which in my opinion was mis-described, sold for £4000. The guide prices/reserves were unrealistic and most lots passed.
Mark
-
Mis-described in which sense? Better than in actuality, or worse?
I saw in the Invaluable listing that there were only a couple of lots that appeared to have sale prices against them. I was left wondering if the site was not updated correctly. So, did all those lots without a price, or just £0 against them, not sell?
Wonder if even the cost of the venue was covered in this case then. But from an absentee bidding point of view and internet bidding, the images did nothing to encourage interest or faith.
Hope all turns out better next time.
-
It was described as a UK poster. I'm guessing 60-80% of lots passed - there was almost zero interest in the autographs. There also seemed to be some technical problems with the internet service. Its a shame because it was a great venue and the items were in generally nice condition. The high reserves killed it in my opinion and they probably should have had more posters and less autographs.

Very impressive Magic Poster Auction - Part I of the Nielsen Magic Poster Collection goes on the block on June 25th
There is at least one movie poster, this one made famous by being on The Bruce's home search page everytime I log in.
Est. $40K-60K
(https://auctions.bidsquare.com/images/lot/1460/1460442_0.jpg)
Expected to go even higher is this phenomenal poster with the following description:
Houdini, Harry (Ehrich Weisz). Houdini Presents His Own Original Invention. The Greatest Sensational Mystery Ever Attempted In This or Any Other Age. Cincinnati: The Strobridge Litho. Co., 1916. Vibrant and imposing poster advertising what is perhaps the most famous of all of Houdini’s escapes, the fabled Water Torture Cell. Text at the bottom of the poster advertises a $1,000 reward to anyone who can prove Houdini can breathe while upside down in the “water filled torture cell.” 39 x 84". Image uniformly toned, very tiny scattered restoration; A-. Rare. Built in England at the tremendous cost of some $10,000, Houdini’s Water Torture cell was both a sensational and important escape device. The artist’s representation of the Cell in this poster is unusual in that it includes an outer jail-like framework around the tank. Early on, a cell-like device was lowered into the water, apparently adding a further layer of difficulty to the escape. This was later discarded. Outer bars were less-frequently used, though spectators were invited to secure them with their own locks, adding yet another layer of difficulty to the feat. Houdini’s earlier water escape, the Milk Can, was brilliant for its time, but easy for his imitators to copy, construct, and perform. The Water Torture Cell, on the other hand, was not so easily duplicated. Importantly it allowed the audience to see him while submerged, an innovation that made the stunt both sensational and an audience favorite. Of the effect, Houdini himself wrote, “Imagine yourself jammed head foremost in a cell filled with water, your hands and feet unable to move, and your shoulders tightly lodged in this imprisonment. I believe it is the climax of all my studies and labors. Never will I be able to construct anything that will be more dangerous or difficult for me to do.

:o The water torture poster is very cool. Thanks for sharing. Wowza. I always like the George the Supreme Master of Magic posters for the imagery. I believe CSM told me that the larger one from 1928 (of 51, item #96 were never used due to his tour being canceled. Which makes them more common and thankfully a little less pricy. But the Houdini. Man o man great stuff!

It seems that Astons have far too much money, as they refused to take £1500 worth of bids off me the other day. So their loss, on to the next auction..
-
What happened Paul? I've had no problem. Usually go thru saleroom.com & just use auto bid in morning of auction
-
I normally just ring and leave my bids by phone, but they said they wouldn't do this, and where I work there's no signal for internet..

Can you not leave proxy bids via Invaluable?
Have you rung and left bids with this particular auction house before? If so, strange that this time they are not interested.

Never bother with the internet if the auction is in this country. They say they have stopped taking bids by phone, something to do with money laundering..!! Bollocks I say.

http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/ViewLot.aspx?LotId=651437&Section=524&Start=80
Vectis have this up, end of November.
This one is much like the Goldfinger Hand quad poster that is doing the rounds right now, being passed around like an unloved child as being completely unfit for purpose.
This poster has actually been in my possession through misrepresentation, and was thus sent back. Stay away at any price. Best thing for this poster would be to put it to sleep. Killing with kindness.
-
Vectis don't listen, Simon.
A lot of it is down to the manager.
I don't agree that it should be shelved because it does display OK, however, it should be decreased in price.
For a collector...I agree, stay away. Like I explained at the time, I wasn't told the whole truth about this poster and when framed and after taken out of the frame you couldn't tell - it was only after you received it and after it had been rolled that everything came to light. A lot of investigation was conducted on your part. Vectis and the original owner wouldn't pursue the original restorer on the shoddy job.
The reason it is back in Vectis is because it was sold with the knowledge of the bad resto job. The buyer returned it to Vectis saying he didn't know about the restoration etc which was a blatant lie. The stuff he was coming out with was a joke. I told the manager of Vectis she should stand her ground on this one (as they always allow people to return things, which is bizarre for an auction house) and did she listen? No. The guy got his money back. I told them that they did the wrong thing. I then explained that if they were going to resell it they would have to decrease the price again and add extra photos. Guess what? They haven't done either. And they have also slightly changed the description.
The bottom line is that they don't know what they're doing.
Case in point is the auction you linked to. I emailed the manager to tell her that they were advertising and pricing some reprints as originals.
Not a thing has been done.
At this moment in time you need to be very careful with Vectis when it comes to posters and film memorabilia.
I'm probably going there for the auction itself to look at some other things so if anyone wants me to have a look at something for them give me a shout.
-
Interesting.
Yes, the latest buyer was lying. Perhaps the extent of the damage was not properly relayed. It certainly is now.
Not sure it even really displays well as all the colours on Andress' skin are blatantly wrong. The cracks in the paint notwithstanding, the entire poster is essentially painted. There appears to be little point in selling it as an original because, and to be frank, one could glue together a quad's worth of archival blank paper, and paint a brand new Dr No poster on it.
The next nearest example of such work, was the Thunderball quad that only had to its name the central image as being original. The rest of the quad being made up of archival paper and ALL credits and titling being newly painted - not even painted over original titling.
Which brings us back to the philosophical question of, when does an original poster cease to be an original poster?
Anyway, thanks for the information fella. All well with you?

Excalibur Auctions has rescheduled their next auction and is having it on Dec 3rd, 2016. We all recall that the auction was canceled due to the passing of Adrian Cowdry, back in August.

Yeah, things are great, thanks! Yourself?
The last buyer of the Dr. No quad knew exactly what he was buying - you should have seen some of his comments about it. He genuinely didn't have a clue.
Anyway, I'm glad I'm not working at that place any longer - the management is diabolical and quite frankly doesn't give a damn about collectors and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
There's some decent items in the Excalibur auction, but what I don't get in grading is how people can term a piece of paper "MINT" - it's completely wrong.

And was that post actually by Adam under a Vectis brand?
Wasn't aware you're no longer working with or for them Adam. Hope all is well in the employment arena. If you're just reading the odd post here, and happen back to this one, I had an outstanding question ref US Military 1 Sheets for the Bond films. Having just taken the plunge with a Dr No 1 Sheet of such connection, and aside from the Thunderball equivalent I am already aware of, I was asking if there were any other Bonds that had such posters created for them...?
Anyway, back to the Events.
-
And was that post actually by Adam under a Vectis brand?
At first, as I helped them set the account up, but then they took over and I wasn't party to what they did...or didn't do.
We'll go over the Bond stuff later mate.
Employment is all good!

The management does not believe in the value of forums.
Very odd.
It's also because they didn't like me being involved in the marketing (before I left)...even though I was and still am better qualified than any of them.
They have people running the "marketing department" (if you can call it that) who aren't up to the job. When I was there the girl who was responsible for it was useless and didn't want to learn. It was crazy. The majority of the staff couldn't understand how she was still in the job as she was given it with no interview after the previous post-holder passed away. I explained to them what to do, where to go, where to advertise, who to speak to multiple times...and they never listened. The only reason the company started advertising in Sci-Fi Magazine was because the owner's son told the management they should have been advertising in it, bearing in mind the management shot me down over it weeks before.
If it's not their idea, it's not a good idea.
- That's what all the staff said about the management.
You wouldn't believe what goes on in there - it's a pretty big company, well-placed, able to be a forerunner in an area such as film memorabilia, but it's run by an amateur manager who has no respect from their employees. They would never accept or acknowledge that the girl responsible for marketing couldn't do the job, and simply wasn't doing it correctly. If anything sustained damage they would nine times out of 10 brush it under the carpet or blame someone else for it - I saw it all the time. It happened to me and even I as a freelance employee received no apology; for example, they ruined a 1966 Batman three sheet FFS and didn't care.
The top and bottom of it guys is that the management and much of the floor staff just aren't bothered.

I've heard good and bad things, as with anywhere, but believe me, they would have to go places to beat Vectis!
Wow. All very enlightening.

Best.
Yes, I am better off out of it.
It was incredibly stressful every single time I stepped foot in there.
I didn't just do one job; I was doing five peoples jobs in one because everyone knew I did it properly and so when they rebuffed my request for a rise in what they were paying me I knew I wouldn't last much longer. I'm not talking a £10.00 rise per hour here mind...I'm talking about just £5.00 extra PER DAY!
The manager might as well have blamed me for the failure of the poster auctions, which is an absolute disgrace.
I remember them telling me once they told the owner they'd give me another chance. I was like WTF!? What about the non-existent marketing? What about the ignorance and petulance?
They said to me Vectis was a team so I duly explained how that was a load of bollocks.
The best one for me in the marketing was when I noticed an ad that was due to go into a major trade mag for company-wide advertising. I asked one of the computer guys in there who created the design and before he answered I told him if that was in an ad agency it would have been thrown in the bin (if you don't know about ad agencies, you must have a thick skin because you get told stuff is crap a lot until it's done). As it happened, the girl responsible for marketing designed it. Anyway, I took it away and redesigned it and then I took it back and the guy said he would sort it. Next day I went in my usual time and asked him if he got it sent off. He hadn't. I asked why and he said it was because the marketing girl went in before he finished and told him to use hers and not mine. I was mad, but I also laughed at the incompetency that was on display. It was remarkable.
I could go on and on and on about the place.
Adam, is the Dr No quad that is being discussed the same copy that was offered by Vectis over 2 years ago (and also advertised here on APF)?
Yes, same one, Jeff.
What happened is that after it was removed from the frame, rolled and then unrolled after delivery all the flaws and quite shoddy restoration came to light.
The seller didn't even realise how bad the workmanship was prior this!
-

That No quad certainly seems to be making the auction rounds, eh Adam? What a story that piece of paper could tell. coffee
-
Looks like this one is already well underway. Did any APF'ers, especially those in the UK, make a bid for anything that was offered?

Jeff, the results on that auction seem to show a lot of unsold items
-
Adam, is the Dr No quad that is being discussed the same copy that was offered by Vectis over 2 years ago (and also advertised here on APF)?
It was me that bought it. And sent it back.
-
Yes, lots of unsold items. A lot of the estimates seem way too high to me
-
Seems a similarly restored Dr No quad that quite possibly had Irish trimmings removed, went for £2k at Ewbanks today.
Hope the effort was consigned Only to the ladies and their ceremonious uncovering, as opposed to the Vectis equivalent that was completely repainted.
-
Astons have some nice UK Quads in their upcoming auction...
Not sure who briefed them ( I probably do know but I won't mention them here) that the Good, Bad and the Ugly Thierry hates "French Grande" was a '66 first release though. I'm sure that is a 70s release due to the text on the left hand side.

Only 30 out of the 221 poster lots sold, when all was said and done.
Budapest Poster Gallery still on another planet with their starting bids...
This Empire Strikes Back Hungarian poster starting bid $4,000

Yeah, the Budapest Gallery has many starting bids at would probably be in the ballpark of most galleries' prices. There's always interesting stuff in their auctions, though. The Hungarian Blade Runner is snazzy.
Thanks for the heads up on that there auction, Vick. cool1

Their auctions seem to price things (opening bid) at mid to high end retail. But as you said Brandon, they always have interesting things.

Budapest Poster Gallery has another auction coming up.
The auction will be held on February 12, Sunday at 10 AM PT (1 PM ET, 6 PM GMT and 7 PM in Budapest, Hungary) on Liveauctioneers. NO buyers premium.

It would be interesting to see them at a true, low starting point, to get a better idea of the current market value for them.

True. If they want to set their opening auction number so close to a retail price, why not just list them and sell them as priced? hmmm.gif

For you south California folks, and those visiting the area, there's a really nice looking posters exhibit and film screenings, from the Silent Era. It's at the Brea Gallery, in Brea, CA.
From their website:
(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/Silent%20invite%20rev%202%20FRONT_thumb_zpsuim5vtl9.jpg) (http://s766.photobucket.com/user/NeoLoco80/media/Posters/Silent%20invite%20rev%202%20FRONT_thumb_zpsuim5vtl9.jpg.html)
Join us as we present a rare look into one of the biggest compilations of silent movie posters and memorabilia. This retrospective exhibition kicks off the City of Brea's centennial celebrations with works on loan from the private collection of Dwight Manley. Featuring exquisite, never before shown silent movie posters, an actual 'silent Oscar', original posters from Brea's centennial year, 1917, Academy Award winning film posters, and movie memorabilia; this show will be comprehensive and delightful. Silent films will be screened in the Gallery throughout the exhibition.

Doesn't this come under the same (old) debate over the pros and cons of the Mid Auction Analysis and the Events threads? Both of which do precisely the same thing... And, which I thought had been voted and decided upon.

Seems the chap has left a legacy of sorts to be auctioned at Ewbanks later this year.
Hope it is a well attended event for the benefit of the family.
(Sort of surprised that Excaliber have not got the job though....or maybe not)

The preview only contains a few lots to generate interest. We expect there to be over 600 of vintage posters in the auction with a strong selection of James Bond.
Ewbank's will be offering in house postage for this auction on items under a certain size (pretty much everything except the large glazed/framed posters). For these we can get competitive quotes for you.
We will also have the auction catalogued and online early summer so buyers have plenty of time to request condition reports and save as there are some great items in there!
If anyone would like a catalogue please contact me on 01483 223101 or alastair@ewbankauctions.co.uk and I will send out a free catalogue if you mention 'All Poster Forum'
Regards
Alastair

Thanks for the additional info. Sounds like Mr. Cowdry amassed an impressive collection. Good luck with the sale.

Yup - thanks for the info.
To be frank, I am surprised as I had believed Adrian had sold his collection to jump start his trading days.
Good luck with the auctions.

Or, he is a good friend of one of the auctioneers, or vendors?
I thought all his inventory had gone through Profiles? Had he some items left?

He has stuff posted to ebay, too. And also had stuff at a previous auction, as well.

Oh. Ok.

Thanks Jeff.
Nothing appears to be up on their site yet. Indeed, when you navigate to something 25th Auction related, clicking on one of the lot numbers takes you to a message to say that the 24th Auction is now closed.
To be monitored, evidently.

Hey Simon,
I did notice that too... seems they are a little behind as this mini catalog also mentions going onto their site to view (as well as download) the entire catalog, if one wants to. I emailed to ask about it.

I was hoping to watch this one, but wasn't able to. Quite a variety of nice stuff. Looking at the post-auction results, many went for right at or near the reserve, and a fairly high percentage of lots were passed.
Thanks to Jefe, for mentioning the auction here. thumbup thumbup

The in-house postage will be coming at some point. Its just me in the department so looking to get an extra pair of hands to help with postage.
In terms of getting the lots online earlier this proves very difficult for the regular quarterly auctions. We do try our best and the auction is always online a minimum of two weeks beforehand.

Hey Alastair,
So what's the postage situation at the moment, as It's been a nightmare in the past, hence I have never bid since?

Hi Paul,
The only problem at the moment for some people is the cost, the quality, speed and communication of the postage company is very good.
I will say if I can fit it in a medium size tube I will post it to you at cost price.

We now have date and location information for CINEVENT 48 in 2016 and CINEVENT 49 in 2017. Both conventions will be held at the Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel, as this year's convention was. The 2016 convention will be held from Thursday June 2nd through Sunday June 5th. In 2017, the convention will be held from Thursday May 25th to Sunday May 28th. More details will be available soon!
Hey Michael, how did Cinevent 2017 go? Was it a rousing success? Lots of attendees and all that?
And how did Morrie's auction go?
-
Hey Michael, how did Cinevent 2017 go? Was it a rousing success? Lots of attendees and all that?
It went really well! Multiple dealers told me it was their best year at the show and we look to have had a bit of an increase in attendance, though I don't have final numbers to confirm that. There were, of course, a few bumps in the road, but that's inevitable and the vast majority of people I spoke with were happy.
We're back at the same hotel for the same Memorial Day weekend (Thursday May 24th to Sunday May 27th) next year for CINEVENT 50!
And how did Morrie's auction go?
He and I spoke a bit about that and he certainly didn't come across as unhappy. And my understanding is that we're on for doing the same thing next year. Beyond that, I'd defer to him for giving out any details.

It would be great if he would join here. He started a registration once, over a year ago, but he never completed the reg. process for some reason. Maybe we can get him to try to join again, and post first hand, how it all went.
And congrats on what sounds like a wonderful success this year! clap clap

Zowie! Looking through the catalog, there were a LOT of posters that were PASSED on. I bought some things (eeek!) in this auction...but even though I've sent an inquiry off, i've NOT heard a peep out of these people in regards as to how i can pay them. Hmm.
-
Looks like quite a few items, both stills and posters, were passed on.
What items did you win, Shawn?
-
Wait and see,,, I probably bid too much. Oh well.

Oooo... I finally got my invoice. "Premiums" attached. DUH! OUCH! Oh well. I should have known...

A copy was sold at Christies in 1997 for £4370. Any paper from this title is pretty scarce so maybe it's the same (only?) copy re-surfacing after all these years. Whatever, it's a great poster.
-
Another copy (or maybe it's the same?) of that Ghoul 3S was offered at auction by Bonham on November 30, 2016 and failed to sell. The estimate was $6,000 to $8,000. The estimate went down this time around, as they're now offering it for $3,800 to $6,400.
-
Interesting, I wasn't aware of it being up for auction last year.
Given the scarcity of any type of British posters from the 1930s I would have thought that it would have attracted more interest. Maybe, as Paul posted on here elsewhere, there's a decline in people who have the resources wanting to buy horror stuff from that era?
-
I don't know whether it has been highlighted elsewhere but there is an astonishing array of photos coming up for sale at Profiles In History on 26th/27th/28th June, particularly from London After Midnight, Freaks and Dracula:

Jim Gresham just posted to MOPO that some of the recovered Universal Horror material recovered by the FBI during the Haggard scandal is going up for auction from July 13-27th. And there will be NO buyer's premium due to the nature of this auction.
Everything is genuine. NO FAKES in this bunch. Gresham also mentioned that some of the pieces he is hoping to bid on and win were his originally.
Tho the auction is being conducted by Gaston & Sheehan Auctioneers, it is the U.S. Marshals Service that is offering the items. Opening bid prices are currently listed with each poster, too.
Here's a link to the auction & the 24 items up for sale:

Sotherby's has an online-only something going on until the 11th September with some eye-popping starting prices.
Did anyone bid on this auction?
Can anyone see the results? Currently, they do not seem to be listed...
-
Sotheby's online-only auctions are very frustrating because as far I know, there is no way to find out the results once the auction is over. Unlike their regular auctions (which post their results immediately after the sale), the online ones don't give you the option to check what each lot sold for (even if you track said lot). I don't understand why their system is set up that way.

Estimate on this Top Hat (1935) US HS is $2-3K

Even Grey Smith chimed in to promote a competitor!
Grey is in actuality, one of the best ambassadors of the hobby. At Cinevent and other conventions, he looks at every dealer's stock & does his best to find something to buy. Quite often, the items sell for less in their auctions than the dealer was paid for the item (I know from first-hand experience)
HA does an incredible amount of 'news promotion' that appears on TV, newspapers and other mediums
and to be sure, he never says one negative thing publicly about anyone and supports all of his competitors..
I think he is top-notch and a tremendous asset to the hobby. Glad to call him a friend.
-
Yeah he's got some surprising technical skills too. I've lost track of all the photos but as I recall GS personally separated the Berwick discovery posters:
(http://moviepostercollectors.guide/Stories_files/005vcq.jpg)
-
"Oversaw" is likely a better descriptive. :)
-
GS posted pics of himself separating the stack. Apparently they didn't know what was in it, so GS did the preliminary work before sending them to a restorer.

I wanted to also extended another, belated thanks to Alastair McCrea for mailing out the Adrian Cowdry Collection auction catalog in September. I was out of town at the time, and am olny now taking the time to look thru what was offered on the 12th & 13th of October.
Thanks again, Alastair. It's a nice looking catalog.

Ira's collection is personally my favourite single person collection that has come on the market. Some decent results but it's a shame some of the more esoteric paper and titles went unsold. Still absolutely remarkable stuff. notworthy.gif

A poster-related event, for anyone in the LA area who might be interested.
A musical celebration is being held this Friday at UCLA, to help celebrate Drew Struzan's 70th birthday.
Tickets are $35-100.00

* Royce Hall (UCLA Campus) 10745 Dickson Court Los Angeles, CA, 90095
"His artwork is known around the world. His iconic movie posters are images we all grew up with. Join GSPO, the GSPO Chorale and Robert Townson as we celebrate Drew Struzan's 70th birthday with him, by bringing the legendary artist's paintings to life like never before. Beloved film music, movies and artwork will come together in this utterly unique, one-of-a-kind, only in Los Angeles show!

We are bringing together an amazing group of film directors and composers to pay tribute to Drew Stuzan and his remarkable body of work. Newly created "visual suites," beautifully displaying Drew's various sketches, alternate drawings and final paintings, will be shown on screen above the orchestra as an epic program of classic film music is performed."
-
Be still my beating heart.
You going, Jeff?
-
If my work day ends soon enough, I'd sure love to.
Sounds like it will be a blend of various scores and movie themes and his imagery, somehow projected or likely all timed to flow with the live music being played.
It sounds like it would be a fun event for sure, Ted.

A few odds and sods here. Some early Bonds. Reissue Dr No and multiple examples of Connery quads. Not sure how auctioning two examples of the same poster in the same auction works, but there we go...
-
I think this 'may' have been this auctioneers' first stab at posters. The chap said it 'was a bit of an attic find.'
Results were good, especially since in a couple of instances, more than one copy of each was for sale.
Some of the £ prices realised prior to BP
Goldfinger – 3400
Live and Let Die – 600
Live and Let Die – 750
OHMSS – 650
Thunderball – 2800
Thunderball – 3000
DR NO RR – 700
I would have suggested Goldfinger to be all in at £3k, and Thunderball to be all in at £2k. Well done to them.

I've said it before great poster logo!

Does it quite work though?
Does there not need to be a black quadrant in the lower half of what I am presuming to be the B?
-

Don't over think it. It's just like that because all good designs have been taken
-
If the black quadrant was added to the b would also need for the P... Besides then there would be holes going through each poster!
-
True.
Perhaps then the B quadrant should not be upper right, but mid right and rotated 45 degrees to suggest the space between the two circular bits...
Dunno. Still not sure I approve. Looks a bit 70's.

https://www.invaluable.com/catalog/3n6gkd22mn?size=200&page=1&categories=
Although a quick check on Saleroom seems to highlight at least one poster on SR that is not on Invaluable. A Thunderball teaser, for eg.

Chorley have an auction coming up, to be found on Invaluable.
But such is their photography whereby all the posters look creased and held up by blutak, I am not sure if they know what's what.
And then there's this.
https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/james-bond-007-british-quad-poster-thunderball-vi-b604b8881b
The US 30x40 is called a UK quad, and they don't show the complete poster with all edges! Looking at the rest of their presentation, it seems par for the course.
Does anyone know what this is? It is as US as the above poster is British.
https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/james-bond-007-usa-one-sheet-poster-live-and-let-fac4cb0b43

That second one looks like it says M.A.P.S. in the lower right — if so it’s an Aussie 1-sheer.

Agree that example #2 is Australian, as zooming in on the image sure looks to show the MAPS printer's info on the lower right, Simon.
(https://i.imgur.com/IURSerq.jpg)
-
The LALD 1-sheet is definitely of Australian origin. Besides the MAPS printing logo on the corner, the film's rating is NRC, which is used in Australia. The layout, with the blue box surrounding the pink box is the same on the Australian daybill and 3-sheet.
The THUNDERBALL 30x40 looks like it's in nice shape. The GOLDFINGER reissue poster I would say is from around 1967 or thereabouts, judging from the early UA Transamerica logo.
-
Well done chaps.
So disheartened was I by the presentations thus shown by Chorley, that an appropriate email has been sent, decrying efforts and all.
-
Simon,
The poster looks like it's in fairly decent shape but it looks like it was photographed hanging on someone's wall. Possibly with sticky glue-tack on the corners.
Are you in the hunt for it? After all it IS a 1-sheet, after all. ;D
-
Nope, not at all interested.
Especially with the blutak efforts to all corners...

Most of this lot didn't sell, perhaps unsurprisingly.

Spy 1 Sheet estimated at £600.
A View Kill Domark computer game poster estimated at £2-300!
Odds and sods went for the £20 mark but otherwise it looks like a supreme waste of everyone's time.
Perhaps unsurprisingly.

And now Chorley's nonsense is all back up as a timed auction.

Anyone else having problems with the Hollywood Poster Auction password features....Im trying to use the automated password reset..nothing gets sent to me....as usual no one contacts me back when I email them directly or use the contact sheet...I seem to remember lots of issues related to their website in years past...will the lots be available on Invaluable or another auction platform?....Last time I won a lot I couldnt tell if my bid was even placed...I got no email or anything and 6 weeks later I got a phone call asking for credit card info from Morrie himself...surely there is someone running/operating the site that I can contact directly?
-
I was able to log right in with my password (which was saved), so no issue from that part of things. Am able to peruse the items on the site, register to bid, etc. All good.
It's also after hours (way past 6 PM) back east, so it could be likely that no one will be getting back to you this evening.
-
This is a great looking still that will be offered by Morrie, as part of a Bela lot. Sharp focus, so a lot of detail can be seen. And an image I hadnt seen before.
(Almost everything in this auction looks to have a reserve, ranging from about 100.00 - 4,000.00)
Of Karloff and Bela from Son of Frankenstein (1939):

The password change feature isnt working and the contact interface gets no reply..I emailed them the first time last Thursday...then emailed john ours and Morrie personnaly to see if I can somehow get logged on or in contact with the web personnel...
Sadly, they just dont have their shit together...anytime I have had to contact ebay, emovieposter, juliens, and Heritage etc. they have gotten back to me within hours/minutes....I am going on day 6 using multiple contact methods and nothing...
-
And to clarify it's not Morrie's fault..it's an IT problem they are trying to rectify.....I had a long phone conversation with Morrie Everett.. the legend himself today..about everything lobby cards...and of course the story behind all those thousands of great lobby cards in the storage unit for 15 years some of which sold by Julien's in a poorly constructed auction...and recent results, profiles in history handling of his lobby cards and other things...great stories btw...what an absolute gem!!

What was the Profiles story?
It's quite a story....they ended up shipping a lot of quality material back to him so he is overwhelmed at the moment.... basically PIH didnt have the resources to handle it correctly...the magnitude of photography overwhelmed their capacity...they didnt describe the defects properly (Dan Strebin didnt assess the value correctly and the estimates were much lower than expected when published), lobby card lots failed to show pictures of the best cards combined with low estimates (something I was the beneficiary of) i.e. they pictured dead cards instead of best scene cards...the were suppose to hold up to 6 auctions but reneged on the deal after the pains of dealing with 6,000 photos while holding other auctions simultaneously...ultimately falling flat on their promises...it took them roughly 30 days to send invoices to buyers who wanted to pay and receive their items within a week... (mine took 45 days to get to me)....there is more of course
one Indian institution buyer (from Osian's) failed to pay for $125,000 in auction winnings....the same buyer was assumed to be the curator who "arranged the purchase" never paid for the entire Leonard Schrader collection (which never made it to India) and sat in a storage unit in California for nearly 15 years before it was auctioned in lots a few months ago....we talked about that auction for a bit here on APF...So that is why Julien's had a fire sale of all those great silent cards in large lots including the greatest Keaton collection of cards (according to Michael Hawks and Morrie) ever assembled...Morrie didnt even find out about it until the last second before the Julien's Auction....Morrie said it was insane to sell them in lots and it was crazy to fire sale them with no publicity...
-
Hmmm. Sorry to read all that.
I guess in hindsight, it was a problem waiting to happen given the sheer size of the collection. Was Morrie ever a part of the sales / marketing / listing process? I ask as he would be the person best placed to handle the breadth of knowledge. No matter how good Profiles is, I could never see anyone who would know all about all.
In his place, Morrie's, to safeguard the process and monetary benefit, I would Never just chuck it all over the fence and let them get on with it. Rather I would based myself in their offices for a year writing the blurb and collating.

It appears the Jaws insert they have is a minty white bootleg, as it seems to be missing the bubble.

Can someone walk me through how a bootleg is bootlegged?
I would imagine someone just photographs the whole poster, image, frames, words 'n' all; and then reprints it.
If so, why would there be missing bubbles?
If a bootleg is photographed piecemeal and then recreated, then I can see how there may be things missing.

I can't believe they got a Czech King Kong poster! Damn that's pretty huge!
I have no clue what glazed means though....Most of the posters say they were "framed and glazed"? Is that like laminating? Any ideas?
-
Im gonna take a guess and say framed and "glazed" means framed with glass or plexi.

slim chance of a bargain here i would guess
A lot of great posters and original artwork. If the bidding starts near the estimates, there will not be many bargains, indeed.
Although there aren't many sales for this Jaws magazine promo dealio, it's one of the more surprising estimates, IMO. I picked up one on eBay a few years ago, and sent it to eMovie for consignment recently. It sold there for $73.
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/15823208.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/15823208.html)
This one is linen backed, and the estimate is £600-900 (~$750-1150).

Im with you on this one, redman. I also give it a bed1 as well a couple thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif and two of these: clap clap

thumbup
has it faded from a more red colour do you think? or would that not be possible as it has been packed away for 80 odd years
also, when a new unused poster is discovered from years before, are they more often than not found with more than one copy?
probably not, but you never know. not that i have to worry about my bidding strategy with this ;D
Neo - yep, lots of crazy estimates. i think the people who use that auction house are generally monied so they may get away with them

Seems that early French cinema poster from 1896 (Cinématographe Lumière (1896)) has WELL surpassed the estimate, with the current bid at 160,000 GBP. The estimate was 40-60K GBP.
Now to see where it might end up or if it climbs any higher.

Wow! Thanks for posting that. Looks like that’s going to be quite the return on investment, assuming a total sales price of around $45k (€32k hammer price plus fees) at the Millon auction, and maybe $1500-2000 total for restoration and framing. Obviously, Sotheby’s is a larger auction house and subsequently there was more hoopla surrounding the sale. Once again shows the power of advertising.

My younger brother got into collecting these teeth, maybe 20 or so years ago. There is quite a community out there, as well as a grading scale..based on condition, and down to some very fine details and points (no pun intended). They are amazing to see and hold, in person, thinking what size the meg was that these teeth are from. Some having been 60' or longer. :o

Yeah they're awesome. The one there is pretty nice. It still has most of the enamel, the gray part, which puts it higher on the grading scale as most are much more fossilized. It appears the serrations are all smoothed, which is common for teeth more than 2.6 million years old. It's really difficult to find one that's fully intact, with the enamel, serrations, etc. I've only found a couple Megalodon teeth while diving, neither as nice as that one. It's amazing to go to the areas where there are other fossils from other long extinct creatures, and some fossils from shark species that have existed for millions of years and are still living.

And like any collectible, its all about condition, condition, condition. That and where they are found. There are some areas in the world where the search and sale for certain species has been prohibited. So that has driven the price up on those particular teeth, as well. Plus, they are found throughout many areas of the world. All very cool, for sure. 8)

One of my many dive trips was to the Cooper River in South Carolina about 15 years ago. It was quite disorienting -- the clay bottom we were searching was only about 20' deep, but the water was so murky that when you got about half way down you couldn't see the sun anymore. You had to watch your bubbles to figure out which way was up! It was basically like diving in coffee that was infested with alligators and bull sharks. I somehow even managed to convince my (future) wife to come with! 8)
She found a complete Meg tooth. It was on the small side but the enamel and serrations were mostly intact -- still razor sharp! We also found lots of Meg tooth fragments as well as great white, mako and other shark teeth. And other fossils like dolphin vertebrae, pieces of whale rib bones, and some lead remnants from Civil War-era shot towers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_tower).
Not surprisingly, it was a very memorable experience!

Hi Harry, My brother-in-law works in the phosphate industry and they find some megalodon teeth now and then among other fossils. Okie

Sounds like a rad river dive, hc. Your wife must have a good eye for them shark teeth.
Okie, that's one of the perks with working in the phosphate industry. Moving that much material, finding some cool stuff is like finding some gold every now and then.

Not really an event, but a quirky site selling posters.
is it new to the board, or is the owner in fact a regular here.
Much of what he is illustrating is already sold (at least in the Bond universe), making it a slow experience to get through everything. But some thought has gone into making it look different.

Totoro is up to £4.2k at Sotherby's now. I'll sell my copy for £4k if the underbidder is reading. Thanks.
-
Hahaha... So dumb!!! I own 2 of those, B1s and mint. One was free, the other $49.99 in 2009 on Ebay.
I guess £4.2k is like $49.99 to some. Probably why I'm having such a hard time winning anything nowadays. Lots of deep pockets.

The Hunchback One sheet is pure poster bliss. What a wonderful poster design!
you are not wrong
(https://funkyimg.com/i/2Tb2D.jpg)
estimate is US$ 150,000 - 200,000, £ 110,000 - 150,000 so hope you get lucky with lottery tickets ;D
-
Ive picked out my target
it's an insert
-
Who is W.E. Shank?
-
it's an insert
Nope.
If you mean the Hunchback insert, it is a great piece - and surprisingly the most "common" paper on the title. Todd had a discovery of (I think) six inserts about a decade or so ago and I think that is where all but one or two of the ones known came from.
As for who is Wes Shank, he was known as the curator of the Blob and has been a movie memorabilia collector since the early 60s (he purchased the Blob silicone from the director of the film in 1965), attended the MGM auction in 1970 and was a really nice guy and huge movie fan. Probably most importantly for movies, he was the guy who discovered the 16mm print of King Kong in the late 60s that contained the "lost" censored scenes and were restored for the Janus Films release in the early 70s (and most other releases for about another 20 years until more copies surfaced).
-
Nope.
If you mean the Hunchback insert
no i saw a tasty rubbery monster one - you must already have it ;D

Jeff, THANK YOU for posting this. I had looked at the website earlier in the week or last week, perhaps. I tried to find it again and couldn't. I thought I had reached it via an email link...that I just could NOT find again. ARGH! Your posting about the little catalog. DUH! My catalog is sitting there sticking out from behind my computer screen. How did I NOT see it while searching for it earlier in the week? Ha! Thank you.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to get posters shipped to the US from Ewbank's? I have my eye on a couple Bond posters but I can't pick them up myself.
-
I too have my eye on a couple of things.
If people have the odd one or two items, and IF I win what I am looking at, I can happily pick up and ship. Just people from the forum, not to be forwarded on FB or any such. And also if just the odd item.
You will need to get permissions sorted out pronto though in case I have to dash down to pick up.
Cheers.
-
Simes, I might take you up on your offer for pick-up and shipping should I be lucky with my bidding. Last time I had my lots from Ewbanks shipped to NYC, it cost a lot more than it should have. So thank you for the generous offer and I will let you know if I need your assistance.
-
All, I will be going down to Ewbanks to pick up a poster.
I will be endeavouring to go on Monday. Please can you let me know what to pick up, and to ensure you have sorted all your permissions for me to retrieve.
Best.
-
That is mighty kind of ya Simes!
-
Agreed, very generous of you.
-
Simes, I succesfully bid on one lot (a UK Quad for Zombie Flesh Eaters) in Ewbank's auction today, and I have already paid for it online. I emailed them to inquire about what the requirements are for a 3rd party to collect the lot on my behalf and will let you know what they say (maybe you can DM me with your full name so that they can identify you when you go to retrieve my poster). Once again, thank you so much for your offer to pick this up and ship it to my home address in NYC.
-
Done.
I have so far two pick ups. Any more, from any more?
Thanks fellas.
-
Chaps - just to inform, three pick ups made, inc my own.
This offer now closed until the next time.
Cheers.

Hi Guys, forgive me if I have not posted to the correct thread!
I have just found out about an exhibition called 'Vic Fair: Retrospective' in Highgate, North London. He was the Man behind 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' , 'Jabberwocky' and ' Mick Jagger in 'Performance'. I think there will be a number of originals for sale. I'm planning on going down there sometime tomorrow - anybody fancy meeting up?

Ewbanks have popped this auction in between their quarterly Entertainment auctions. Came out of nowhere but, really, there are some superb pieces here.
Horror, Hitchcock, Bond. The majority are linen backed but for those who are not concerned, I would submit this auction is a treat.

I saw a lot of this collection (pretty sure others would have too) in the preview.
It is a superb collection and I thought WOW!
However, for those who are weary about linen backing as many of the posters are, contact Ewbanks as early as you can about the actual restoration completed on the poster you are looking at.
In my experience, don't leave it till the day before as you're unlikely to receive a response.
I'll likely be bidding on a few non-Bond pieces!

Any of you fellow collectors that would like a complimentary catalogue please let me know.

Ewbanks have popped this auction in between their quarterly Entertainment auctions. Came out of nowhere but, really, there are some superb pieces here.
I will be attending the Ewbanks auction on December 6. Inspired by Simes' previous kind gesture and in ine spirit of Christmas I am happy to bid on your behalf (if I know you) and/or arrange pick-up/shipping. Please message me privately.
Mark
-
That's very kind of you Mark. I took Simes' up on his generous offer last time around and he was a extremely helpful in arranging pick-up/shipping for my lot. It's really nice that you're offering to do the same for the rest of the members around here.
-
Ewbanks is up.
https://www.ewbankauctions.co.uk/Vintage-Posters/2020-01-10
-
With that Commission.... No Thanks.
-
Does anyone know if the additional VAT fee Ewbanks notes is applicable to international buyers?
-
With that Commission.... No Thanks.
Don't you just reflect the asked for BP in your final bid and be done with it? I do.
-
But then you get the people who have no idea what they are paying until the end... Can't bid against stupid..
-
Still doesn't have any adverse affect on the final bid price You will pay - irrespective of the reasons other people end up in bidding more than maybe they are supposed to.
Of which, there are many;
Desperation
Wads of spare cash
Emotional attachment to the auction
And, lack of understanding of BPs - not just the percentage of the BP.
-
Either way, the BP's are getting out of hand, these auction houses had to rely on who walked through the door.. Now it's world wide, so they are making more money on all the lots, but they want everyone else to pay for the pleasure, not to mention the after sales help, which is zero..
-
All, subject to winnings, I will be going down to Ewbanks to pick things up for this week's auctions.
If anyone needs the odd pick up and send off, please can you let me know.
Best.
-
Might take you up on that dimes,thanks.
-
'dimes'?
Anyway, will be going to Ewbanks on Monday afternoon.
Please communicate permissions with them and me by Monday morning please.
-
Sorry simes.
-
;)
-
Sent you a PM Simes
-
Simes, I also sent you a PM. Thank you for your kind offer of assistance!
-
Simes I have sent you a pm,once again thanks.
-
All collected and packed.
Emails sent for Shipping options.
Some nice posters there fellas - hope to see them up on the Jan Acquisitions thread.
Best.
-
Thank you Simon, looking forward to getting my package in the mail, courtesy of your generous assistance.
-
30% on commission now.
I know dealers who bought lots for over £600 without the BP..
So that's £780 (without shipping) so add another £50 if you're getting it delivered.
Now some of those lots were 40 posters, with 1 sometimes 2 strategically placed in the lot to maximise profits.
The other 38 are meh, if you look hard enough you can pick them up for £10-£25.
So dealers are paying a shit load of cash for 1-2 posters that are worth £100-£150 tops.
That's going to be a lot of work for them to try and make money on the rest!

PropStore was an absolute headache/disaster for me during one transaction last year. Shipping was outrageous and my item arrived broken. Had to dialogue back and forth constantly for any and all updates then even more so when I fought to get some money back. Just an FYI.

Good info, thank you. I hope you had a satisfactory outcome. It does always feel like a bit of a gamble getting stuff shipped from auction houses that aren't EMP, Heritage etc.

prop stores beatles HDN poster is not from '65 so their auction estimate is maybe a decimal point out i would guess

An utterly sublime British only collection of quad posters, FOH stills, Campaign Books, Synopsis, Presspacks covering Bond, Horror, Carry On, Clint Eastwood and seemingly, the whole kit and caboodle.
Very impressive.
I am not sure who Michael Armstrong but let's just say, he was a committed chap.
-
^those 50+ year old posters are looking mighty fine not being attached to linen
-
I love how they list the provenance for each item as "from the Michael Armstrong Cinema Collection", as if he is well known and thus authenticity won't come into question.
1. Is Michael Armstrong like Dwight Cleveland, Forrest Ackerman, or Kirk Hammett or something? Is it Michael Armstrong, as in writer of House of the Long Shadows (among others)?
2. Are there actually any posters in that aucton in need of provenance?
3. I wonder how many people on this board will, in the future, have an auction of posters with their name attached?

Well, unless I am missing something, to be sure a little paragraph could have been introduced as part of the marketing blurb.
But a quick search unearthed this.

Yes, that's what I was thinking - it seems there is a story to tell
I'm looking forward to attending this auction, my first one in 18 months, and checking out the condition of the posters myself. My online wins from UK auction houses during this pandemic usually culminate in disappointment when the posters turn up in a condition unacceptable to me.

his best jimmybonds are being sold at bonhams

Oh yes! And, there is some blurb on the Dr No poster as to just who the chap was. RIP.
I wonder why they split the lots across two auctions? The prices Ewbanks are getting are impressive to say the least.
-
^i thought that maybe bonhams was offered the collection first but said they were only interested in the 6ts jimmybonds. But if that was the case then i am certain they would have wanted the Beatles quads so i doubt it.
Wasn't there a Bond only auction recently that had 2 goldfinger quads? Must be the most common 5K poster out there. Postage for the bonhams one will be expensive ;D

Thanks for posting Tob, quite a selection!
I'm curious what peoples thought are on the Feref Archive Transparencies? I'm conflicted with them because they are obviously not the original artwork, just a transparency, and the print has only been produced to help the sale, so wasn't produced at the time and isn't part of the design process, although nice to have no doubt.
Maybe I'm being cynical because I won't be able to afford any!
