"Coming Soon" Jaws Subway Poster
« on: December 19, 2017, 01:00:51 PM »
Hello everyone!

I unfortunately need to sell my favorite poster- a "Coming Soon" Jaws Subway poster, (linen backed). It's a beautiful, rare poster that needs a new home.

Giving it some thought, ​(​right or wrong​)​, here's my thought process:
The two most recent sales of the Jaws Subway Posters came from Heritage the other month, (emovieposter hasn't sold a Subway in a few years). The first subway poster was completely ​blank and sold for $1,800, and the other is specific to specific theaters in NY and sold for $3,100. Now taking into consideration the rarity of this "Coming Soon" poster, but also taking into consideration the additional 19.5% hammer price of those prices I mentioned above, I'm thinking $1,950 is a fair a deal.

The subway posters from Heritage and mine have all been linen backed. Dan Miles (Backing To The Future) did an excellent job of backing my posters and I highly recommend him.

Again, $1,950 seems fair to me, (that includes shipping). However, I am definitely open to hearing any reasonable offers. I need to sell.


Thanks for looking  : )

FYI, the posted sales results at HA include the BP. BP is not in addition to the posted prices realized.

good luck.. rare poster!

Good luck Michael.

I know it's a rarer piece, and, like Rich said, and you should consider..HA's final price is what the winning bidders knew they'd have to pay on top of the hammer price.

Just some food for thought.  ;)

So if someone sells something for $3,100 at HA, how much does he/she takes home?

Great poster, btw.  Too bad it's LB, I would be all over it.

Thank you all for your "good luck" wishes.  thumbsup.gif

I thought you would like it T. But I also knew the linen would deter you lol....

good luck.. I would think that at $1950 the price is fair, especially if the underbidder from HA is here

For sure... the $1950.00 price tag sounds like a good "bottom line" number to me, too.

Looks like Dan Miles did a great job on the backing, too.

Good luck, Michael.  sm1
