Can I see the posters collection somewhere?

T

I have very few posters, maybe 25-30 at the most. The majority of my collection are stills, lobby cards, and other paper items (window cards, trolley cards, pressbooks, heralds, etc.).

Posted some of the lobbies here from time to time, most notably on this thread: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,427.75.html

On a side note, does anyone know whether Doubleday printed a promotional poster of the original 1974 cover art?

I was watching Dave's auctions that ended on ebay yesterday and saw he sold a rolled Jaws for $1900+

for some reason, I don't think $300 is going to snag one of these anytime soon.......

Maybe that guy who started the thread got it.  If so, good for him.

I never stated I wanted to pay $300 for a rolled copy. Check it.

Nope and I won't until the hyper-stigma that surrounds this very common poster relaxes, which will most likely be never. Sigh...

If I actually liked the poster design more, I'd be even more irritated that it has such an aura. However, it's only a mild irritation since I'm not a huge fan of "textual references" within posters (i.e. Indiana Jones and Jaws).

"why don't you wait another 30 years, fans of that movie will by dying out and then the price will drop! (probably)"

That's a good one and presumably true !!
An alternative would be to buy this almost sold out "Pure Evil" fineart on Jaws replica, wait for the guy to die (less tghan 30 years) and flip it in posh gallery at Jaws poster price

As for me, I am fine with Japanese "Jaws 2" poster :)

OK, I'm curious. What do you mean by "textual references?" Don't most movie posters have textual references?

If I were in the market for a rolled Jaws (which I'm not, considering, I'm barely in the market for a folded copy), I would value a rolled copy at least double the folded version. Since I'm willing to pay $300 for a folded copy, I would in theory be willing to pay $600 for a rolled copy. But the market probably values a rolled copy at $15,599,000.75.

well then split the difference, offer the seller $7,799,800.38.. maybe he'll sell it to you......
