Rich, your post is a good one and well taken. I see what you are saying, and do not necessarily disagree.
I am not saying Mondo stuff will nosedive or necessarily keep going up. It may, or it may not, just like posters you guys revere.
What I am saying is that there is an undeniable demand on some Mondo prints, which sales and prices realized.
I don't understand the venom and animosity some of you have towards this stuff.
Also, I think comparing the US housing market to movie paper is a stretch to say the least.
Lastly, I think many screen prints such as Mondo have some sort of a glass ceiling.
I think the average 30 something child of the 80s freaking out about the latest Olly Moss print will splurge on said print because it is attainable, despite being a financial stretch for them at say $500. However, that price is almost beneath the high brow movie poster community...the buyers with big pockets.
In other words, I personally expect some prints to hover around what is expensive for the average collector yet not really catch the eye of the D. Cleveland's of the world...so a Tyler Stout Big Trouble in Little China may or may not sit in the $1,500-$2k purgatory for some time.
