Dealer's ONLY Board: For Sale/Auction/Trade / Re: Now view a COMPLETE preview gallery of EVERY one of the 731 GREAT items!

Sad to hear about Casablanca, as it looked solid in the preview and being restored will certainly remove it from my (and others) wheelhouse of interest.

Probably good decision on the Mummy, if it had more work than Metropolis or Dracula than it was an easy call.

But again, so much great stuff in this auction, there will be plenty for people to focus on.

The Stowaway was removed because there is one in an auction very soon.

The Mummy card was removed because it had a ton of restoration and is being returned.

The Casablanca card was removed so it can get some restoration.

Great auction, really nice depth across many genres - certainly one of your best in many years.

Question, I didn't see some of the promoted pieces in the preview (Stowaway One-sheet, Mummy best card, Letters of Transit card), did I skip over them because there were so many other great things, or were they pulled for some reason?

It amazes me too! And most of them not only never post, and but it seems like almost all of them quit buying (unless they now solely buy from the auctions with buyers premiums). So strange!

That's interesting, Bruce, I didn't think of asking you.  So most of these early people have abandoned your auctions too?  Wasn't it you who said that most collectors are occasional collectors?  They collect for a little while and then move on to something else?  Only a few hardcore folks remain?

I agree, Bruce, it is a quintessential French movie, albeit not so well known amongst fans of Marvel haha.  I’m glad you recognize its greatness.  I never saw it on the big screen and probably never will.  And yes, I saw Sorcerer years ago.  The movie that was supposed to be much bigger than Star Wars.  Not a bad flick, but not quite as intense as the original imo.

I am not a big fan of remakes of classics. What are they trying to prove? Imagine a remake of Casablanca (or Snow White thumbsup.gif)!

Thierry, great poster for a great movie.  I also quite like the style B with artwork by Robert Leveque, which recently sold at Propstore.  I wish I had a large frame like yours that could easily open to swap French and Italian posters.  As it is, I have about 15 framed movie posters on my walls, some of which (like my French King Kong by Coudon) have been hanging for over 10 years.  It would be nice to rotate more items from my collection every once in a while.

Bruce, William Friedkin's Sorcerer is a very interesting, I'm curious to revisit it now that Criterion has announced that they will release it as one of their upcoming titles.  The score by Tangerine Dream is great.

Antoine, I saw Sorcerer in the theater on opening night (at that time I thought Friedkin could do no wrong, having loved The French Connection, The Exorcist, and The Boys in the Band) and I liked it, but I didn't love it, and I felt he missed something the original had.

It wasn't until years later that I saw The Night They Raided Minsky's, which was really stinky, so it was good I missed it the first time around. Friedkin really imploded after Sorceror. He did even make a fairly good movie, and he made a lot of real losers.

I wonder what happened to him? I feel sorry for whatever it was.

It's crazy, I was going through the oldest posts on this thread, from CSM, Ari, Zorba, Brude (I think he passed away), CJ138, Charlie (didn't he start another forum bc he hated me?  Is that still going on?), Supraman079, Idioteque, Mel... the list goes on.  What happened to all these people?  Did they stop collecting?  Moved on?  Does anyone know?  It's like a blast from the past.

You can now view a COMPLETE preview gallery of EVERY one of the 731 GREAT items in our APRIL MAJOR AUCTION that starts Sunday, March 23rd at this link: https://www.emovieposter.com/online/previews/20250323april/gallery/

This is a complete preview gallery of ALL of the 731 posters (U.S., non-U.S., non-movie), lobby cards, and much MORE that starts March 23rd! Each thumbnail image in this gallery links to a single supersized version of that image).

The gallery includes the auction title, including the lot numbers, so you can see the exact order in which they will be auctioned. It also includes the exact overall condition grade that is on each auction.

What this complete preview gallery DOESN'T include is all the images from each auction, and you CAN'T read the written condition information about each item's condition (or the film's description) until the items go "live" on the 23rd.

Of course that info will be included in the actual auctions! But by seeing the "super-sized" images and the overall grade you have much information about the the exact condition of each item long in advance of the auction, so you can better prepare your bidding strategy when the auctions go live (starting at 3 PM CST on the 23rd).

So between now and Sunday the 23rd at 3 PM CT (when the entire auction goes "live"), PLEASE spend some of that time looking over this wonderful preview gallery, and then you will be more prepared to check them all out Sunday when they go live!

I KNOW for certain that this auction is PACKED with lots of extreme rarities and highly desirable items of EVERY kind. It is surely one of our best major auctions in years!
