Welcome to the world of Thai. Where is the signature? I don't see it.

I didnt snap a closeup of it. I will see if I can get one that shows it, but it's located just to the left of the cluster of drawings at the bottom, in the green area (and below Foster's chin).

[erik1925]

Here is the Thai LAMBS artist's signature.

It was written in what looks like a green pencil, so that it blended more with the background color.

I'm thinking mwright or ocularbeing would know for sure.

So i just finished my first auction, unfortunately i wasn't able to get the Dark Knight Why so Serious poster or the Jurassic Park Advance poster:(

But i did manage to get my hands on these:

2c411 INDIANA JONES & THE LAST CRUSADE advance 1sh '89 Ford/Connery over a brown background by Drew
John Wick advance (Keanu pointing a gun)
2c479 LION KING DS 1sh '94 Disney Simba on Pride Rock with Mufasa in sky!
Heart of the Sea advance (ship with the whale underneath)

And thanx to my fellow Dutchmen at motionpictureart.com i got my Max Max advance (car and max in the desert, seen from behind)

So all in all very pleased

Congratulations! VERY nice first haul there (especially the Indiana Jones). Post photos when you can.

Yahoo!!!!

The Dark Knight poster comes up at every single auction, so you'll get it next time.  And you should stay clear of Fair to Good or Good posters.  Not worth your money on modern posters.  So losing the JP poster was a good thing.

Congrats on winning what you did, on your first auction.    There are always a lot more to follow... that's for sure.

Great posters there Jeff, I'm really loving these Thai posters I've been seeing. I gotta get me some me thinks. Love that Sleepwalkers poster.

Nice man, hope you're prepared to be addicted

Nice man, hope you're prepared to be addicted   

Hey "e", I hope you are willing to take the (very sound) advice you gave to TPenders. I am myself looking for a 12-step program. I've burned through all of my kids' college tuition in my quest for posters. It's a good thing I do NOT have any children. Phew! That saves me a lot of guilt. Ha!

CHEERS!

Welcome to the world of Thai. Where is the signature? I don't see it.

So MAGG, what do you think? Does it look like it reads Tongdee?

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Zowie!  I am SO glad you brought that to my attention. I completely missed it earlier. Golly!

YES!! It really does look like it says Tongdee. Wowzer! That is so super duper cool. Did Gingerman point that out to you when you bought it or did you just spot it yourself?

MUCHO CONGRATS!!!!!!!

It was a self spot.  

I was looking for other comparative sigs of Tongdee's and found a few on Ed's Filmonpaper site, too.

This just arrived from Germany.  The seller, Stefan Schober on eBay, is a class act.  Highly recommended for anything from Germany.

This was delivered in one week, in darn good packaging (sandwiched between 4 sheets of strong cardboard), and he included tracking and insurance with the shipping for no additional charge.  

The condition of this is the best I've seen for one of these, and since these rarely appear for sale in any condition, I couldn't pass it up.  Now I just need to send my cursed linenbacked copy to the auction block.    Anyway, I may just see about getting this one flattened out, as there is virtually no fold wear.



Just to note, it's kind of interesting that this one for Humanoids has two stamps on the back of it.  



Also, what I thought were wear marks on the copy that I had linen backed are exactly the same on this one, so maybe all of the German Humanoids posters have these marks.





Mr. Schober also included this one for Tintorera for free.  Although it's my least favorite of the wild fish movies, it's a pretty rad poster.

[erik1925]

Way to go, Brandon! And scoring another copy so quickly! Grats to you!! And with a freebee, to boot, which is totally cool art. I agree!

So those marks.. are they in the exact same spot on your other copy?

I love the German title for Humanoids. It translates to: The Lurker Below

The other is Tintorera! Sea Monsters Attacking

[paul waines]

Tintorera is jollyfine.. May have to pick up a Humanoids myself

[Gingerman]

Neo
That is a nice pair of posters indeed. The condition looks to be flawless!
But why so much interest in the Germany version? haha
 

Jeff
That subway poster is great, do you plan to display it?

These next 2 guys, it is nice to see new active members. Again 
e
Embrace the addiction!!!!

TPenders
Gotta love that Lion King, and can't go wrong with Indy.

[erik1925]

Chris,

Yes, I will have to take down another framed piece i have up to be able to put this up for the "haunted Pumpkin season", that's for sure.  

[Neo]

Thanks, guys.

So those marks.. are they in the exact same spot on your other copy?

I love the German title for Humanoids. It translates to: The Lurker Below

Yeah, the marks in the photo are exactly the same on both of my copies.  Those imperfections are always interesting, IMO.

Although "Humanoids from the Deep" is a great title, the German version is pretty cool.  

But why so much interest in the Germany version? haha

That must be a rhetorical question. 

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Wow, Neo!  Love the HUMANOIDS poster...but am super in awe of your free TINTORERA poster. That is so rockin' (especially for such a lame shark movie). I'm going shopping now--gotta get one of those. Zowie!

[erik1925]

What's cool to see too, on the Tintotera flicker... Is that Basil Poledouris was the film's composer. He was big time and well respected. It's great that the director chose him to do it, early on in his career (it looks like it was only the 2nd film he composed, professionally).  --  

Here's his filmography:

nice posters folks.. nice stuff Neo

[jedgerley]

Sweet pick up. Exrrmely nice condition. And the bonus poster is pretty viscious

[Neo]

Thanks, MAGG, Rich, and JE.  

Although this one for Tintorera is darn cool, there is senseless animal cruelty throughout the entire movie, and I don't support that kind of garbage, but since it's a gift, I'll keep it in my humble collection.

That is an impressive filmography for Basil Poledouris.  Several of the films later in his career that he worked on are classics.

I was looking for other comparative sigs of Tongdee's and found a few on Ed's Filmonpaper site, too.

Tongdee has about 3 different ways he signs his name.  That is definitely his piece.

Wait, on the HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP, is the ink smears on both, the same as where JM resto tried to fix?
Glad you got a replacement, sad it led to that, maybe I'll bid on your linen back one now it's got a story to tell.

No, it's just the very small marks that look like dings, in the upper right section that are on both copies.  All the ink smears from Jaime Mendez Restorations were put on there by them after their sloppy linenbacking jobs, that caused creases, scratches, and/or tears that needed to be covered up.

It is kinda sad about the slew of events that led to me getting a replacement, but in the grand scheme of things, it's a learning lesson.  I'll let you know when the linenbacked copy hits the auction block.
