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.

I wonder?

HA has sold a copy of this 4x between 2010 and 2018, withe the last realized price being $26,290.00, this past April.

And this was an unbacked copy from the Kirk Hammett collection. https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/horror/king-kong-rko-1933-swedish-oversized-poster-255-x-47-/a/7178-86229.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

The same Hammett copy also sold in 2010 for $28,680.00: https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/horror/king-kong-rko-1933-swedish-oversized-255-x-47-/a/7019-85172.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

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

I happened to trip across this BAT poster tonight, and tho a BIN with a $3500.00 price tag, it's not an earthly delight.

As the title and info suggest, this is a commercial reproduction produced by an Australian company called Impact Posters. The title of the auction tries to suggest that it's a 1998 reissue of some kind and that it's been done with permission of the Hepburn estate (if that comment is printed on the poster, it was a marketing gimmick used by Impact).

This is maybe a 25 dollar poster? (if that?)

As a comparative... emp sold a 2004 Limited Edition commercial repro of a 40x60 with this same imagery, in 2015. It sold for $42.00

I saw that recently also, via the eBay link Sunday Silence mentioned.  He has at least one other repro, also listed as "original", and also at an exorbitant price.

In the sixth photo, it says on the lower edge it's a reproduction.

Repros like this should be described & priced correctly, as well as listed in the proper category. It's these kinds of mistakes (or intentional listing decisions) that have made buyers so angry over the years, having gotten burned.

Luckily, ebay's Buyer Protection is there to assist, if needed.  thumbsup.gif

It's amazing how long this OS has been listed on ebay for this price..easily close to 10 years, and with never even a slight adjustment in price. But its still an awesome looking poster, regardless.  bed1

Here's a Jaws teaser Thierry hates "French Grande" for only $14K. Great poster but it's not worth that much.

Ive seen other things that this same guy has listed on Facebook, and he always seems to have those "platinum prices" on anything he offers.

 laugh1 This guy is dreaming. Perhaps he subscribes to the view that anything that's a remotely good is automatically worth at least 3 times the going rate?

His Bond prices are nuts too.

Wonder if he has actually sold Anything?  Bearing in mind the items are on eBay, it is not as though you're appealing to the snob value of buying from Sotherby's or the like.

Bless.

Mrs. Miniver is really Matt Shapiro. If you check his ebay listings, he has other very rare items, especially Star Wars which has always been his favorite. His asking prices for anything he lists though are quite literally stratospheric.

Yes I know that it’s Matt Shapiro and even remember the speculations that he was dead at one point - when was that, more than a decade ago?

I hadn’t seen this set before though - it comes up as the most expensive international poster on offer on eBay...
