Take the second definition of elite - " a group or class of people seen as having the most power and influence in a society, especially on account of their wealth or privilege."

To me, "elite" collectors are collectors who mingle with the elitist people of blue chip galleries and auction houses - the ones having the most influence in the market - and they do solely for interest.

A guy who buy from blue chip galleries/auction houses becase he can afford it and does it without mingling with the all world of blue chip galleries and not caring much about the trickeries, hocus pocus, return on investment, etc. is not an elite collector.

I hear what you're saying, but I just don't see anything "elite" related to someone who collects stuff.  There is zero power, zero influence, just privilege, and privilege alone doesn't make you an elite, at least in my view.

Oh my... It's all about priorities.  I had so many things I wanted to buy at HA tonight, and then I got so much into the Celtics/Heat game that I COMPLETELY FORGOT until now.

Go Warriors!!!  And so glad the Heat lost.

So so stupid!

Like so many of us, I own all of these posters and I don't think any of them would fetch more than $50.  And that's a lot.

Ridiculous.

Maybe from HA hahaha...  Those prices are out of control.

I can't win anything there, too many deep pockets.  I was hoping to put my bid on a few items tonite, but forget about it, I just can't win.

I like these videos that the Prop Store guys are doing for their auctions...it's nice to see some of these posters in close up and in 'real life' (if that makes sense? not a static jpeg!)

Hadn't seen those videos, thanks for sharing.  Some of these items are so nice I bet they would even make an emovie major auction.

Interesting to see that Cimarron in the text says that there are only four copies known, but he states that before the Berwick discovery there was only one known.
So did Berwick have three copies, or have two more surfaced in recent years?

The double indemnity Italian poster is really nice, maybe Barbara Stanwick is less recognizable than on the US poster?

I'm eyeing some posters on this auction although I doubt I can go as high as the estimatations, especially since you have to add 30% commission (I think?) which is significant compared to others auctions! (to this, add the 20% French VAT and the cost of transport)

I see 25%, maybe it is higher for out of the country?
I do see they are adding sales tax for our state though. It seems like Emovie is the only auction house not adding sales tax now, I guess either they are paying it for us, or they aren't meeting the low threshold for reporting?

Just has a single bid on it, and still at half the low estimate, T.
Definitely within your budget.

Not quite unfortunately.  We are finishing extensive renovations on our house and my wife has asked me to buckle up for a while.  Little things here and there, that's okay, but a $40k poster would be hard to hide.

Also, Bruce charges sales tax.  I get a 10% California tax added on everything I buy,

Gotcha.
Glad my backwaters state doesn't meet the minimum then. No tax on my most recent purchase.

Lucky you.  We are extremely taxed here, but it’s California and I wouldn’t live anywhere else.
