This is one of the difficulties of grading unrestored posters. There are ones in "fair to good" that can be restored and look quite nice afterwards (and without "dipping it in paint") and then there are others whose defects are so severe that the only way to make them presentable is to airbrush over huge sections of the poster.

T rightfully recognized that this is one of the former situations.

I wonder how long this new record will hold? And on a 1983 poster!

Was it me again  ;D

I bid on that Wargames poster.  $130, I think.  No idea why.  Love the movie, though.  One of my 80s favs. 

I wasn't paying attention, I guess.

You don't have to worry about that! We have some fanatical bidders who simply MUST have items they bid on, and often they act like price is no object.

And it is not "the most expensive posters" that jump out at me after another 999 auctions end. It is the poster that is not particularly rare, and yet it still goes for WAY more than it has previously gone for. In this case WARGAMES at $130 jumped out at me.

So you would say that High Society is not particularly rare, which is why it jumped at you?

THIS week, it was the high price on a relatively common poster!

LAST week, it was a very high price on a poster in MUCH lesser condition.

Next week, it might be something else entirely!

Bruce made such a big deal about this poster... ;)

And for once, I disagree with him.  A MUCH LESSER CONDITION poster???



I was going to linenback it, but I think not.  It's totally fine as is.
