With all due respect, these are the sort of posters that one must actively work for some time to acquire.  Need to be all over ebay and all the common poster auction sites.  If they come up here (and they have), they will be snapped up in minutes.

Your other option is to work with someone like Kirby McDaniel or Dave Lieberman who will do the legwork for a significant premium

What Jay said is exactly right.  I own 3 of the posters listed and I personally have no or very little interest in the others, but the 3 that I own, Dr. No, BttF and the rolled Blade Runner were very hard to get.  The Dr. No shows up at auction from time to time and doesn't sell for less than $2 or $3k and the BttF, well, I don't know, I haven't seeen one in quite some times.  Blade Runner rolled might be easier to find, but like Jay said, a lot of collectors will bid on these.  Even people who own them might go for more than one copy

I think your best bet is to research them quietly and hope that one of them pops up.

Using the L.A. Story as an example.

Bruce auctioned it three times in 2015.  One in lesser condition went for $740.  One earlier in the year went for $3111.  But the one from the December major auction was a bargain at $1405 in very good condition.

If you had placed a "watch" on it at emovieposter.com, you would have had a shot.  But everyone here knows their worth and are not going to give them away.

...but good luck nonetheless Paul!

Thanks for your help guys.

I've been offered a

I know cinemasterpieces has Matrix,LA confidential


Just trying to get them all a little cheaper.

Thanks

Wow... a Harry Potter poster for 4000 GBP? 

That must be some rare poster.  Or is it plated in 24k gold?   

[wattsy04]

Exactly erik

I would have paid a good price but not that much so turned it down.

[erik1925]

What can that style HP poster generally be gotten for?

[wattsy04]

You lot are more knowledgable than me. I know one sold quite cheap on eBay last year and Emovieposter sold one a while back

[erik1925]

I dont know many of the HP posters.

I just checked on EMP.. is it this lenticular that sold for $675.00?

I don't know why ANYONE would spend more than that on this poster.  I don't understand the interest.

Oh, Ok. When you said that EMP had sold one a while back, i thought that was the one, as that is the most expensive poster/lenticular they have sold for that particular movie.

Thanks.

The 'small' ones sometimes come up.  They were part of a larger standee with a lampost.  The large one is the unicorn.  The 4k pounds may be reasonable, but I don't collect at that level.

[erik1925]

I bet the entire standee with the lenticular made a good looking presentation.

I bought & sold the standee lenticular to Holiday 2-3 years ago. just the poster part, not the whole standee.
it's rare enough, but the 1sh size Wattsy is looking for.. well the math is simple... 'try to find one'
when you're up in that rarified air, people can ask whatever they want to.

keep in mind, Harry Potter, because it it ceased being a 'continuous property' because JK Rowling wanted a specific end, the posters have stalled somewhat.
If it had been a continuing product, like Star Wars, I suggest the audience would be larger, and prices higher.

the $5700 (at current exchange rate) that the owner is asking could possibly be your only opportunity to get the poster if you want it that much and if he sells it to someone else first - you're probably out-of-luck.. forever!

as to Bladerunner rolled 1sh.. my warehouse email is warehouse@comic-art.com

message me and I'll see about one in my vault

I must be one of the few active collectors of Harry Potter one sheets. I like the fact that there is currently little interest in them. My prediction - that HP lenticular one sheet will be a USD10,000 poster in 10 years time.

I would say there is a 50/50 chance I would get that right now, if I were consigned a complete one in great shape!

I might agree, and here's where 'investment value' comes into play

if instead of being spent on this poster the money was invested in a more stable product (stocks, bonds and the like) is the poster expected to keep up with that inflationary value
moreover, unlike those other investment products, you can't borrow against the poster's value..

answer: no

Um, okay Mark...  I think it's a little bit of wishful thinking on your part, but I hope you prove me wrong.  I personally do not collect Harry Potter, I did not care for the movies or the books, so the attraction to this lenticular is a mystery to me.  This put aside, I have noticed that lenticulars are not built to last long.  The glue and the plastic they are made of wears off over time.  I don't believe they have the longevity of paper posters.  I've already had to trash 2 of them for "leaking" glue.

But maybe I'm wrong.  Only time will tell.

[marklawd]

A slightly worrying observation with regard to the longevity of lenticular posters.  I don't know the manufacturing process and whether it is this or climate/storage conditions which make them susceptible to failure although I haven't noticed any deterioration in my half dozen examples to date.

As far as future demand for rarer-style Harry Potter posters is concerned I remain confident that there will be increased (generational) demand for such items from this hugely-loved film franchise. Prisoner of Azkaban is arguably the best and most popular movie of the lot and this particular one-sheet size lenticular, given its extremely low production run, already has legendary status. I love the advisory wording, including the instructions to "Notify immediately by Owl.....", which only appears on this version.
