Good call, thanks for posting.

I agree, Thierry, about PM. Their prices are too high, even though they do fantastic work, folks like Mario and Dario are just as good if not better to be honest.

The few times I called them to enquire about pricing, I was like --- you must be kidding!  I passed, went with someone else and was always happy with the result.  Yes, Dario and Mario are awesome.

I was about to say --- wow, that's really cool --- and then I checked my website and realized that I own it.  I think I'm getting early alzheimer.

Oh you got the remaining 800 posters? I was wondering why I only was getting 9,300 posters from T and not 10,100!!

That would be an interesting shipment, to be sure.

USPS or UPS?

Just make sure you don't come during a Lakers game (like right now.)  I have a tendency to be extremely unwelcoming.  Ask my wife.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the $20K Star Wars bombshell that dropped tonight at eMovieposter....

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3504053



Seems another is up for sale on Sunday.

http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA141207/star_wars_trilogy_BM02660_C.jpg

Presumably just as collectable as the former bearing in mind it is for a different cinema and therefore sporting slightly different text..

And it appears trimmed - by comparison.

How many of this style were printed? (calling Undead, calling Undead..  ;D )

10-12 copies.. or some small number like that, that coincided with the number of theaters/cities it was playing at?

And those trimmed border areas would have been an easy fix, too...

I mean..if someone went to the trouble to have it backed.. why not do that repair, too?

It doesn't appear to be linen backed, otherwise why would the 'big bite' be so obvious?

The linen backed offerings were in the previous three December auctions.  This is in the fourth.

EDIT - T, you are looking at the image that I 'responded' to.  The link shows the latest offering.

There were two copies created for each of nine theaters, eight US theaters and one Canadian theater. The triple bill is actually not printed it is a photographic blowup/print on photographic paper. Roughly half of the printed copies are known or at least known to me. Sansweet or someone of the like may know if their are more out there. If memory serves at least one for each theater has been brought to public light except for NY. Public light meaning it has been sold at auction, displayed online or at a show, etc.

My bad.  I'm on my phone and I just read it was part of Bruce's auctions, which I'm skipping entirely because it's all linenbacked.  Didn't know there was a fourth.

Apparently, it Hasn't been trimmed.  The borders were just designed that way.
