I've heard that both Polish and Russian posters use either the graphics or text to build up or tear down some political point of view. Since I can't read Russian or Polish, I just take it at face value. Perhaps someone who does read and speak the language can clarify.

Yes some of them are very nice; THE TERMINATOR comes to mind. As Erik said, some of them are really "out there".

Yes, so to us, on this forum, with a breadth of knowledge and various acquired tastes, they may have some meaning.  If not value.

I reckon the chap is fishing.  But it'll be a long night, of many beers and few bites before he comes home happy...

Fantastic salesmanship on this one  ;D

Just a taste (if this doesn't start you scrambling for $300k nothing will!)

"It's been said "you can't take it with you." It turns out that's not true. You can. Because of my maturing age, and, the awakening reality that I've long since crossed the great dividing line of having lived longer than I'm going to live, I consulted my attorney on the legality of having this poster (and other key items in my possession) cremated with me. Much to my surprise, it's perfectly legal to do so. We drew up the Will and all the legal papers last month, and so the ashes of this poster - along with my charred remains - are going to be sprinkled at the base of the Hollywood sign shortly after my demise. That is, unless someone pays a minimally appropriate price for this poster now"

A rolled version has sold for $19k at Heritage in the past, so the price is 'only' 5 or 6 times higher expected. For me, it's more the photos/description that make the auction amusing. They're worthy of a $9.50 auction.

Every single week, this gets popped up...!

And every single week, there is the promise of an image.

He has other non-related sales being marketed the same way.

One does wonder though over this not uncommon seller logic. “I saw this item sold for X on Antique Roadshow/Pawnstars/whatever. Therefore my own copy (in worse condition and quite possibly a fake) must be worth FIVE TIMES MORE!!!!!!!” And they’ll get very angry if you think otherwise.

Down to $6299.00 They are determined to get this sold. ;)  I wonder how low it will go before it sells? It does have some condition issues, too.

It looks like $2650 was the magic number to get it done

And that's certainly a long fall from the original, $7500.00 price tag, too.

A BIN of $600.00 for this 1960s ARG RR for Frankenstein. Seems a little hefty. But luckily, the border piece missing on the right side doesn't go into the artwork at all.

The Horror (1932); linen backed US OS.

Quirky, fun imagery, too.

Seems a bit pricey. When looking at the most recent results at HA and emp, each last auctioned an unbacked copy. HA's copy went for $334.00 in May 2015, and $705.00 was the winning bid for the copy at emp in July of 2015.

BIN: $1295.00

The Horror isn't a particularly rare poster for an early 1930s release, so while it is a fun OS, I would agree that $1,295 is a bit pricey.

Tho a smaller pic, I think I'd rather track down a copy of the US one sheet, instead. Cooler imagery, imo.

You'd think that when tloce had a $26K BIN price tag on a poster, he would upgrade his picture quality and lighting, just a little bit..... imbecile.gif

At this point I bet even his carpet is a bootleg. I actually use it when skinning over listings, does not matter what poster is in the image as soon as I see that carpet I move on.

If nothing else, that carpet looks to be from about 1975..lol. Earth tone shade, and all. But between that and the right side, indirect lighting setup, all loce's stuff is easily identifiable, at a glance.

Backtracking with a question. How many copies of that King Kong Swedish 3-sheet are out there? It seems to pop up with regularity ever couple of years which says to me either there are several copies floating around out there, or it's one of the most "flipped" posters I know of.
