This guy on eBay UK has some rad stuff, from the video store days of yore.

These standees are probably pretty darn rare:





A very rare UK video format, for what some people say is the best artwork for Top Gun:

LOVE that Creepshow standee (although the art looks nothing like the movie itself...)!

I was just checking Emovie's upcoming auction, the one ending today, and I cannot understand why so many modern posters are in fair, good, even good to very good condition.  They should all be mint.  They're new, right?  What do people do with their posters?  And people still buy them.  What do I know.

Don't understand the fair, but I do understand the VG ones.  These are the posters that actually got hung in the theater, as opposed to the never touched NIB stuff.

To each his own.

I bought 8 "beauty photo" MPs in that auction, most for just a few dollars. Buying en masse saves big bucks on shipping. All were graded as VG/G but appear VF/NM to me after inspecting the XL images. So EMP undergrades its MPs IMO.  Here's the "good" Catwoman, which has only minor edge fraying in the upper right which will be covered by my frames:








PS As I recall, BH claimed $9 overhead per sold poster, so they should charge $10 min. HA charges $20 min. MPB $3.MPE $10

HA's SIG starts in a week, here are the mega-bucks MPS, which most of us can't afford.

No you are not dreaming you see TWO DAYBILLS near the top, which are actually terrific IMO. Normally, daybills are ha-ha:

I haven't looked at it yet, will do so a couple days before the auction, but I'm excited.  Some of my better pieces come from the sig auction.

As per usual, HA has so many rare and beautious pieces once again being offered in the upcoming Sig Auction.

Should be another exciting one to watch and partake in.  thumbsup.gif

We debunked that fallacy a few months ago. Bruce wasn't pleased that someone called him out on it.
It was all math based and basically at the numbers Bruce always throws around, his employees would each have to do a year and a half's worth of labor to produce a year's worth of auctions.

There are quite a few incredible posters in that HA Sig Auction.  I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Don't know why peeps say I was batsh*t crazy in Round 1, just cuz I spent a gazillion hours on the hobby - which I should have spent chasing the 1 million+ single femmes in DC - and somehow managed to lose $50K on it despite being a 5 SuperStar Collector.

I would note that particular punch was thrown by the Daybill King Pimp Daddy, so his judgement is askew....

Rather than wading through four pages of posts on this issue, I'll just concede I'm clueless about movie poster economics and will STFU about the subject.

These fine folks are far too talented to produce the artwork I see on most daybills.

That's the right attitude Jeff, ra-ra, everybody wang chung tonight, etc.

But not for me alas. See I've really become enamored of a particular ultra-rare 1930s 1S up for bid, 95% obscured:



I've hired CyberVor, a notorious Russian group, to hack HA's bidding records and find out who else is bidding on it.



I've also hired Egyptian Queen Mummy Ahmanet, who is available for gigs now that her movie flat-lined in the US, to track down other bidders, chew their faces off, and convert what-is-left-of-them into undead mummies to serve her for the next five billion years until the sun supernovas and incinerates them.



So fair warning to all.....

If that screen grab is any indication of what she looked like in the flick,  :o  spew  I can see why it tanked (one of several reasons, no doubt, along with CGI overload and Universal also driving this theme/franchise into the ground).

And could the title have been any more original?  hitself

I totally agree with you on this, too Sean.

And that one is a nice looking poster (and it needed to be 98% hidden, mel, along without referencing it's in HA's auction) ;)

Im always amazed how items like this that havent been seen as much or are more uncommon still pop up in Grey's hands. There must be a trove of things held by people out there, just waiting to once again see the light of day. That's exciting to think about.  Good luck in snagging it.

Grey does a great job all-around. I don't think anyone has had more unseen poster rarities go through their hands in the last 30 years as Heritage has in just the last 10.

I just hope when he finds a Big Sleep midget wc, that it doesn't shoot through the roof
