The Seller is still vague on these, not committing to a year, but I looked into these and also messaged the seller 4-5 months ago, that these are later, 70's or early 1980s reprints, featuring the b/w artwork from the original, 1939 US OS.

Just an FYI, in case anyone was thinking of dropping $150. (obo) here.

Tarzan already at $65,000, double what it sold for in October 2012 at a smaller auction:

This one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/321089911920?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

It was a fake according to a discussion on MOPO.

Yes!

Dodged that bullet.

I need to read mopo more often.

Oh and thanks Matt for the info.

Added bonus. This just reminded me to turn off Live bidding on Heritage.

I was watching that auction too and have had interesting exchanges with both the seller and Helmut today. Helmut has the utmost credibility as regards his knowledge of the history of this dubious reprint so I had a lucky escape too.

I get them from EMP, since I bid in the last 5 or 10 minutes they have been coming through after the auction is closed

I don't know if this has been posted somewhere else, but Heritage has an illustration art auction come up in April that has some pretty nice original pieces of art for some famous posters like King Kong. It's worth a look for you who have deep pockets.

I really have to fight the urge to collect illustration art. It's a little easier because of the huge money you need to spend for worthy pieces.

It might cut into your Robocop 2 poster budget.....

Just teasing, those posters really scream the 1980's.

Just curious Jeff, do you actually own any posters? I 've yet to see you post in latest acquisitions or my collection threads. Serious here not just being an ass...

erik1925 · « **Reply #4119 on:** March 24, 2013, 11:03:38 PM »

I posted a handful of things in the 80s thread, (my post actually bumped that thread back up the chain, about 4 days ago) and I just posted my one, lone 70's poster, most recently, as well as a couple LC and some video release posters.

correct Charlie..

that's why people call them "Trolls"
