Could never afford the A+ TGFH 1S, so I landed the B+ HS for a small fraction thereof:

Had this flick been made today, Caitlin Jenner could have been cast, from the looks of the babe on that poster.  ;D

Could never afford the A+ TGFH 1S, so I landed the B+ HS for a small fraction thereof:

Maybe a fraction compared to the one-sheet (and for good reason of course), but nearly three multiples of what this exact copy brought last time it was at auction - https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/film-noir/this-gun-for-hire-paramount-1942-half-sheet-22-x-28-style-b/a/7113-86206.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515#

Mel, have you ever tried to use the "Make an Offer" feature through Heritage? I know several people who have been able to pick up pieces they wanted that way.

I will be interested to hear your opinion of the piece once you have it in hand. It's good that the overall fading doesn't bother you, but the restoration/recreation to Lake's face (as you say, the centerpiece of the poster) is far too much paint for my taste - especially around the eyes and details of her hair. Compare to this prior Heritage sale to see what I'm talking about. Guess this is why T avoids the restored stuff.

Can't really say, out of courtesy to HA & confidentiality, but something.

I've been giving stuff to Heritage and Profiles in History for a while and factually, they both have been kicking ass for me. Getting me better prices than even my sticker, but I haven't been disappointed yet by either of them for sure.

Did you get $400K hammer for something you only had stickered at $240K?   faint2.gif
Cause that is really kicking butt.
many auction houses have never even had a single $100K hammer, and Heritage is doing it seemingly every auction.  notworthy.gif

Why is it still confidential after the end of auction?  Why does it matter?

That's exactly why.  I got burnt before and never again.  I will only buy linen if it's the ONLY chance I have to own a rarer poster.

because it's a business arrangement between Heritage and myself.

yes. that's the only reason

you've outed me. I paid $14 for that poster in 1949 when I was in Italy on vacation and to pick up the 12 Action comics #1's I had stored there in a vault beneath Trevi Fountain. They're still mint. Heritage will sell those too.........

My HA Sig slim pickings... 

The big one is obviously the French Beauty and the Beast which I got the day before through a private sale and won't receive until September.  Folded, mint.  More later.

I just received this Dracula's Daughter HS from the first release of 1936, unrestored and in very good condition.  I've been looking for the OS for some time, so in the meantime this poster will have to do.  I always loved how moody and atmospheric those haunted eyes are...

Congrats!

The HS is BETTER than the 1S IMO:

But the 3S is the real winner:
