Yep, liking that Monster Squad... it may just have gone up a few Dollars.

Smack your hands better back up lol. Now you have to deny the fact that you want it so the price goes back down lol

Love some Rare but not Valuable Posters I am the Queen  of RBnVP

Swiss Poster R70s

[paul waines]

Bought these last month.  They are Rare as they are the only ones. They were used in the printing process of the Quad poster Thunderbirds are go. Each one is for a different colour as indicated on them. As for value...I most likely paid too much for them, but who would want them other than me..          These are quite large at 29"x21" much bigger than the other ones I have..

I guess it is interesting to some Thunderbirds poster admiters, I looked over the photos, thinking of your great quad...thinks for sharing

[paul waines]

Thanks Steve, I should have posted a pic of the Quad, here it is, though this is valuable..

Very nice to have those separations for the quad, Paul. How did you happen to come across them? A random listing? Or did someone tell you about them?

An unique and interesting addition to your collection, no doubt.

Oddly A dealer was asking if I still had my spare Quad for sale as he had them, and wanted to add the Quad to them. I had sold it but asked him if he wanted to sell them, and he said Yes, for a price... So....

Yes quite a unique item to add to the poster, I'm very pleased with them.

US OS for the UK film, Sunset In Vienna (1937), but released in the US as Suicide Legion in 1940.

I've not come across another copy that has been offered or sold, so figured it would be a good fit to this thread.

Good set of images.  I like.

Hmmm, beyond Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, keaton, and possibly Pickford, Fairbanks and Barrymore, does anyone from the silent era have a name that has endured?

A good example is the poster in my avatar.  The actor pictured is Richard Dix.  The man made 100 films, mostly as the lead spanning a period from 1917 to 1947.  He was one of the few that made the transition from silents to talkies and was huge in the '30s.  However, I bet the value in my poster is more because it is a well preserved stone litho with a good image than it is because Richard Dix is on it.  BTW, AFAIK it is also an only known copy.

It looks like a really a beautiful poster, Jay. Could you post a larger image of it?    It would be great to see your avatar image poster up close & in more detail.

Reference to the Thunderbirds Quad -

Interesting to see that the poster says "Adults over 16 should be accompanied by children" - what so they won't let in a 21 year old by himself. Was that a thing in the UK for movies targeted at a younger audience during that time era?

It wasn't a real restriction, just put on there for a bit of jollity...

Guess you never worked in standards development.  The only word that counts in a standard is SHALL.
The phrase "It is highly recommended that the widget should..." translates to the folks using the standard as "I don't gotta do this, AND I WON'T".
