Profiles in History has an interesting poster in its December auction....




Hmm, wonder if this will join the King Kong insert on the list of "high price paid and did NOT make a profit when selling" list?

wouldn't surprise me

while investments can be made at some level in collectibles, reality is that the average collector of any type of collectible doesn't have the business asset truly needed to be able to achieve profits in general: a solid customer list and their own website, mailing list or catalog to be able to sell without going to someone else who gets a commission (sometimes quite a high commission) and that doesn't even take into account market forces that work against any investor in any market.

Universal horror paper and maybe to some extent 50s horror-sf has suffered considerably since the financial meltdown and the Kerry Haggard scandal with both factors dovetailing in at the same time in 2008/2009, while at the same time lots of pre-1960 paper has diminishing values due to generational aspects of collecting. Even lots of my own buys (lots of them) have turned out to be poor "bank accounts" because of a reducing market in that area, or an overabundance of such material being offered in a small number of venues and when you consider that I am in perfect position to be an actual investor in collectibles due to my wealth of knowledge, longtime customer list and ability to sell with no external costs, it becomes very obvious how poor collectibles as investment can be

Hope someone here can nab it!  Treat yourself, it IS the holidays, and you should always get yourself a special little gift while shopping for others ;D

Same copy as the one sold by Heritage?

I think so. I'm not sure a second one is known to exist, but Sean would know better

Bonham's Entertainment Memorabilia Auction January 26 in LA:

Yep, sold for $40,000, less than the $47,500 sale price at Heritage in 2010.  Assuming s/he paid a commission to PIH, s/he took a beating.

the Metropolis result shows what a limited market there is for high priced movie posters and also how the market has dropped since the financial meltdown and the Haggard scandal.

Interesting story about the one for Jimi Hendrix: "A Jimi Hendrix "Pinnacle" concert poster
The first printing of a poster designed by John Van Hamersveld for Hendrix's February 10, 1968 concert at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Van Hamersveld was an important figure in the Southern California psychedelic community who also designed surf posters, including the iconic poster for Bruce Brown's The Endless Summer (1966). Contemporary artist Shepard Fairey modeled one of the images in his "Obey Giant" series on this poster, and later wrote about Van Hammersveld's design, "It's an illustration with the perfect balance of designed restraint and idiosyncratic, organic style. The image also, though highly stylized, conveys the essence of Jimi Hendrix" (I Heart Design: Remarkable Graphic Design Selected by Designers, Rockport: 2011).
18 7/8 x 27 in."

That Hendrix poster is sick.  I'd drop 1500 on it.  Unfortunately, I think their estimate is low....

Thanks.  You know what you did.

Heritage is auctioning hand-painted movie posters for charity.  If I'm reading this correctly, these auctions will continue for several months.

http://fineart.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?N=50+793+794+792+2088+4294946150

Description: The Lomasney Collection consists of over 800 hand-painted film posters originally displayed in the The Royal Hawaiian Theater in Honolulu from 1930’s to 1980’s. Painted by artist John J. Lomasney, and spanning 50 years of cinematic history, the posters were called a “treasure trove of art” by the New York Post. The Lomasney Collection was acquired by tennis legend John McEnroe and displayed in his Soho, NYC gallery. Mr. McEnroe donated this astounding collection to Lifebeat, Music Fights HIV/AIDS to support their HIV prevention efforts. Each large-scale piece is completely unique and painted in gouache on 44 by 28-inch art board. Many incorporate original studio film stills. These one-of-a-kind works of art are available to collectors and movie buffs alike in online auctions opening at 10PM CT on the 1st Thursday of the month and closing 10PM CT on the 4th Thursday of the month. For further information, contact Stephanie O’Barr, StephanieO@HA.com or 214-409-1807.

"All items start at 99 cents"

Great, what are the chances of getting a poster for 99 cent. I don't have one buck or more

The next Heritage sig auction just went live.  I have 20 items on the 'ol watch list, but - as usual - I'll probably end up with scraps from the Sunday Internet session:
