Charlie's Got to have these....
« on: October 17, 2012, 09:45:37 PM »
My goal is to try and snag a Cat On A Hot Tin Roof OS (US or AUS - and not the double bill or RR) for around ~$350...  If any of you auction hunters find one and could pass it on, that would be great.  These seem to come up on 'off the grid' auctions sometimes too (that means you Dr. J)...  Or if there are any dealers that want a quick return, just let me know (I figure $350 is the same as 75% of ~430).  If you guys could just keep an eye out for me I would appreciate it.



Also still have these outstandings:

Blue Juice B1/B2
Ellie Parker B1/B2 or OS
GBU or FFOD Inserts @ $200 ea

The original Aussie releases might be a little tricky.  Lots of '66 (daybills and one sheets) out there...

I'll will certainly let you know if I come across an original Oz 1 sheet

Well, I picked up a Half Sheet for right on my number. I totally forget about the horizontal format sometimes.  In the half sheet you get her whole length...  :)  Plus this one was in stellar condition and rolled. May even make Ed smile...  I'll snap a better pic when it gets in.



So the list (that I am willing to disclose) dwindles...

Elizabeth Taylor is No. 1 on list of highest earning dead celebrities.

Beauty of a poster, Charlie. Congrats!
I see a tear on the left border and the poster looks like it has water rippling throughout?
Have you ever paper-backed one of these card-stock posters?
 cheers

Congrats Charlie!

Thanks! Can't wait to hang it up...  I am really liking the 'buy 2 or 3 big fish'  versus 30 misc... I feel like I am accomplishing something plus, the wife approves..

 bed1  Well all the dampness in Eastchester must have relaxed the paper fibers.  What a beauty!  I am so content on getting this one rolled and in superb condition.  Just need to paper tape the tear (acid free of course) and hang her up.  The wife already said she didn't like it...  Why?  That girl on the front.  hitself

 You have great taste Charlie. IMO, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the Breakfast at Tiffany's poster for Elizabeth Taylor.  It is quite stunning.

 I have been looking for a rolled one sheet forever for that title.  I am trying really hard to stick to rolled posters. Though the linen is quite the temptress at times...... ;D

I wondered that too - if it is what I think it is, I seem to have run out of it

I guess I just make up concepts...  Basically you know I am a collector and not a dealer... I need that poster for my Portman collection.

Anyway... Well let's say I had a Hammer you needed (HA!) and I don't really care about it all that much (true).  Now I could sell it for $50, but since I know you are going to cherish it and most likely not resell it, $20 is fine with me because it will go to a good home...

I guess I am just saying I'd pay $25 if you were nice enough to sell it to me at that price.

Yep a few Eastwood denominations and Hepburn denominations go a long way.  ;)

Well I picked up a Blueberry Nights OS - it arrived SS but was from Grand Cinema so its legit...

So onto my next conquest - I want a How to Steal a Million 6-Sheet...  Anyone got one tucked away?

I've taken 'Let Me In' off the list because it just lost its appeal...

These still go unfound:

Blue Juice B1/B2
Ellie Parker B1/B2 or US OS/Quad
GBU or FFOD Inserts @ Collector's Money: $200 ea

That's a lot of six sheets, but the good news is that they generally sell for less than 1 sheets/ea.  I wonder if the whole hobby could gather a million of them  :P

Yeah! Scored an Aussie Blue Juice from Rick which has the same design as the Japanese (presumably the international design).... woohoo



This is what I have been assuming to be the US version; although not bad either...


Revised Wanted List:

Some new ones to keep things interesting:

Bridges at Toko Ri Australian Daybill
Wait Until Dark German (psychedelic version) (There are two on eBay but are over-priced)
Wrath of Khan International OS


Same ol':

How to Steal a Million 6-Sheet
Ellie Parker - Anything besides a B5 would be nice!  Really want the US/INTL OS... [SOMEBODY FIND ME ONE!]
GBU or FFOD Inserts @ $200 ea - all you are going to get after consigning anyway...

Thanks!  Should I offer a finder's fee or something?  How does that work? 10% of the price I am willing to pay?  cheers

Thanks Matias for helping me track down the Wait Until Dark (and a rolled one to boot) and then while I was there found another one on the list! A super hip German Funny Face!  My Hepburn collection is starting to fill out rather well...  bed1 Only a few more and the 'big one'...
