I asked my other half what poster she would like to get and she said the Nightmare quad. Trust her to pick a rare one!
I did find one for 650GBP :o
How often do these come up??
thanks steve

Thats a ridiculous price as I am sure you know. I think a value range of £150 - £200 for a folded one and £200 -£250 for an unfolded one would be realistic.

Yeah I thought it was pretty OTT myself :) I actually thought a rolled one would be worth a bit more than you predicted. I wont say what I'd pay for it incase I end up bidding against someone on here for one! :)
-
yeah £650 is a bit high.. the last 1 i see sell on ebay went for £247.
they do pop up tho..
-
What kind of condition was that one in ?
-
standard folded quad.... good condition, C8.

One day I hope to find one of these.....

And now that it has been shown and talked about online, my thinking is that it would probably sell for way more than Mark's 2010 prices.

Just checked Bruce's past auctions, and one sold in '13 for $900 ( laugh1). Folded and linenbacked... puke

I think Charlie was the one that did the linenbacking job on the one that Bruce sold.

i have one, its got a bit of special provenance as it was hanging in the office of Palace Pictures who were the UK distributors of the movie. Its been card backed, but never been folded. I got that and the Evil Dead (again in the offices) from a lady who worked there in the 80's and she even gave me a letter of provenance on Palace Pictures headed paper.
I suspect its going to be harder to sell as its backed, but i love the provenance!

ya I came across yours while perusing. The backing is a negative as it costs quite a bit to ship to me as well.
Silly me.... I meant to send a pm to fallenangel but accidentally posted in the thread. probably shooting myself in the foot. :)
Oh well but i did manage to find another Friday the 13th #1 quad.

crikey, I should sell my spare... ;)

Has hell frozen over? I wasnt aware! :P

Did your trio of Friday the 13th arrive yet Jason?
-

Yup,to me lol
-
How was that quad attached to the backing card or board? Hopefully not with some non-water soluble based spray adhesive... Doh.gif
Any idea what was used to attach this?

They are all waiting at a fellow Apfers flat for combined shipping. plus 6 months of other purchases.

You getting a crate made up... :o

Nah just a custom Jetliner, its almost done :)
there is room for your spare quad and Pirates lent ;0

I'm still not a fan of that Nightmare poster. I guess I'm not a fan of that (can't remember his name) artist who did it. My Bieber poster is so much better.

-
I have no idea how its backed, and to be honest, i cant see a reason to remove it, unless you were going to linen back it, which would sort of be pointless!
I am sure that in the mid eighties when this poster was in a frame at palace pictures no one gave a shit about what type of glue was was used and whether it would put of a poster collector 20 years into the future!
Its been a hard one to price, great provance, never folded but backed into thin cardboard, I have a goodfellas one sheet thats exactly the same that i got from the offices of Sky

I don't understand what "provenance" means on a poster. How do you know for sure and why does it matter? It's not a piece of fine art, where pedigree and provenance are almost as important as the piece itself. You can track a piece of art, I'm not sure how you would track a movie poster and know for sure that it has been where you say it has been, if it matters at all.

What about a Bieber poster from Bieber? Surely that would set your fanboy heart all aflutter ;)
-
the best way to describe it, is it feels like cardboard you would find in a standee, but possibly a little thinner, you get a lot of these types of posters at premieres on the barrier controls for the controls, i dont know if they are standard quads pasted to card or printed specially. Anyway it feels like one of those :)
thats a question for someone on here re the premier card posters!

Man, that would be a treat and surely a poster I would never ever sell.

My God, he's so HOT!!!

re Provenance, you could call it known history or what ever. Personally i like to know a back story to a poster, I am always interested where it came from be from Joe Bloggs in Bumblefuck or from George Lucas's personal archive. I think its fine to label that provenance, we all know we are not dealing with Fine Art, but the term is valid.
I agree you cant track it beyond the first or second person, but i got it from someone who was definately working for Palace in the eighties.. so there :P

whats up with the original Thai NOES poster... seems like everyone has one.

Someone from Thailand was smart enough to start selling them overseas.
I picked up a few while I was over there (amongst other things)

Hopefully there's a lotion for that

I just wipe off the sticky goop onto the elm street poster before I send out to the lucky buyer.
-
In reality, I don't think that provenance would make much of a difference in the price. There is nothing special about it being from a distributors office or from someone who worked at a company, or etc.
-
but why this particular Thai one? Its a fairly old/rare poster as a US OS.
Not a lot of Thai Jaws, B2TF, Caddyshacks, Halloweens or even NOES 2, 3, 4, 5...etc. But for some reason, the original NOES Thai OS is all over the place. Perhqaps a giant stash found somewhere in Bangkok, sticky goop and all.

At least the seller ID's it as a repro..
So that's good.
-
already discussed this repro earlier in the thread, Freddy's hat being cropped is a great way to tell it apart from the real deal

I was in Thailand and believe me there is a LOT of examples of crappy titles for all sorts of films, in numbers.
Elm Street I don't think there is more of than say - caddyshack, I dunno, maybe they have more sense than to screen that film ;)
(http://offaleater.com/225748174269197.jpg)
I bought a number of these, because I LOVE the film and a lot of my customers do also, but it isn't popular like Elm street, I could have bought probably 50 of these if I wanted.
The poster shop in Bangkok had stacks of posters and sorting the wheat from the chaff was more than I had time for.
ELM street 2,3,4 etc where also available by the way. I didnt get any, I am not a fan of the films myself and part one is passable I guess. Even when I am buying to sell I tend to choose stuff I like, not good business sense but makes me happy. (in case I am stuck with them perhaps)
