As but one example that I quickly looked up-- Heritage sold a Style B SNOW WHITE, on linen (described as VF), during their March 25, 2011 auction, for $9560.00 (inc the BP). That is certainly a little different than Cleveland's $20,000.00 stated value for his own Style B copy.

AND it begins! Of course there is no personal poster bias - why would there be? ;)
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) US 1-S On Linen 8500
Are you shitting me? $3k-5k these days.
Chris.. there are some people who are never satisfied about someone's prices unless it's the very price they wish to pay, or what some donkey who spends little or nothing thinks about what everyone's prices, regardless of a variety of criteria that different dealers and collectors to price their own material, owned by them and no one else. Stuff like this also generally comes from people who contribute little or nothing to the business of posters, or don't even have the ability to post original thoughts on forums and only regurgitate things told them by others as well as the usual pablum. They exist on all forums where even the small-minded can have a loud voice.
Can we agree that generally collectors will naturally tend to "value" posters in their own collections on the higher end of whatever scale they want to use?
Part of this may be in hopes of realizing a profit but I think mainly it is as a result of some level of attachment...
But Rich there is a clear difference between valuing and selling (pricing might be a more accurate term).
As for this Cleveland collection - I may have missed it but is there any sort of disclaimer on where his "values" have come from - i.e. independent appraisal or simply HIS valuations?
last year my wife of 17 years gave me the boot. My posters have mainly come during our mariage. And legally I owe her half their value.
I wonder, and have to HOW to value collections, as some may know, last year my wife of 17 years gave me the boot. My posters have mainly come during our mariage. And legally I owe her half their value. But how to get a value?
i see some items I have that are not available ANYWHERE, nothing valuable but things that cant be replaced, and others are for sale, for silly prices. I could ask Phil, but then she knows its my friend and i could say whatever value I want.
Anyways, worse things happen at sea. i am tempted to do a blind split and say YOU SELL THEM.

Giving the ex half of them I think is the go. Surely it would be too much hassle/$ on her end to liquidate her half and she might say just keep em
he says the schindlers list poster is from the country of origin.......
USA ?
I'm saving my money for the Morrie Everett lobby card collection in the Profiles auction in October. 1 lot. Opening bid/reserve 5 million.
Just his personal lobby card collection. He will still have his dealer inventory. Very odd auction format. What happens if there is no opening bid?
Sounds like Bruce has hit the jackpot and HA gets a slap in the face. Good for Bruce thumbsup.gif . I wonder if Bruce will now give up selling $3 posters
Indeed, well done for Bruce.
This plus Morrie's collection auction in (from) June will be sure to make this an interesting year for collectors.
Unknowingly, we probably ALL own a piece of his collection.
