Same story for this one  -  http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=4592300 

And whoever wrote this doesn't know French very well It should have been "au" (singular form) and not "aux"  (plural form)

Coming up on May 27th, through hollywoodposterauction.com, this Romanian poster for The Man Who Laughs (1928).

Such a great poster imho.

I advised Heritage that the Buck Rogers poster at this link was incorrectly described (it was not a 1940 release poster, it was a 1960s poster done by comics reprint guy Ed April.

Heritage cancelled all bids & removed the item from the auction

Not an auction but an active BIN/ obo.

Why would this Japanese B1 size poster be priced at $1200.00? The film, In The Mood For Love, is from 2000 and is a basic photographic design. Is this a rare poster?

$1200 is obviously dealer pricing, but this is one of my favourite posters for one of my favourite films. An elegant design that is perfectly in tone with the film.

IMO, whether it is photographic or illustrated has no bearing on the appeal (of this, or any other poster). Good design is good design.

That's Posteritati's eBay.  The pricing is bbout on par with Cinemasterpieces, in many cases, in markup over fair market value.

It's pretty tough (and desirable) in that size. Bruce has gotten $300+ for it each time he's offered one (no matter condition). I sold a B2 with 4 pieces of tape on it last year for $125, and would think a really nice B1 would sell in the $500 range.

[erik1925]

Thanks, guys. So aside from the hefty markup on this particular copy, it sounds like it's a bit of a rare bird, especially in the B1 size.

This is a very stylish poster and I can also see it having cross-over appeal to an interior designer looking for a focal point in a room in that colour.

Yeah but he's a flaming asshole and no one is going to buy at those prices so who cares.

[erik1925]

I've had several conversations with him over the years when I had Universal horror poster questions and he was happy to answer questions as well as pleasant to talk to, each and every time.

OK

Maybe you caught him on a bad day?

It's clear that his prices are exorbitantly high, but why would Louie throw an epithet like "he's a flaming as*****", with no explanation?

Why would you think, Nobel Laureate?

Why would you think, Nobel Laureate?

Well, even Nobel prize winners surely have some people who dislike them, for some reason(s).  In this case, someone made an interesting post, about some of the rarest and most highly coveted stuff, and your great contribution was a one liner calling the seller a "flaming a******."   I was simply asking why someone would say that about him.  As usual though, your comment and follow ups were trolling, and I took the bait.  My mistake.

I thought my "flaming asshole" statement would be enough. Obviously you can't read into what people write.

Frankly I've never heard anything bad about the guy, and your one liner and follow ups are not very in depth commentaries about why you would call him that.

I like Todd, but that is not a universal feeling about him.
