Wonder if it will have a high reserve like Todd's Bride teaser did resulting in no sale?

That could definitely be a possibility. But if they are just looking for publicity, why wouldn't they just put it on eBay with an absurd BIN/opening like Todd does?

"In excellent condition, the poster receives the highest grade possible for a poster mounted on linen. Very Fine+ on Linen."

Q: is there a higher grade possible for non-linens?

Non linen backed posters can be graded NM-Mint.

It was the Swedish poster art I had seen, that solved it thanks!

I wonder how this one will fare for HA, in March? The red screen version for the 1960s RR of Frankenstein.

http://movieposters.ha.com/itm/frankenstein-universal-r-1960s-one-sheet-27-x-41-red-style/p/7106-8012.s

One is sitting on ebay, too, right now (and has been for a short time). The seller seems firm at his/her $2995.00 opening bid price:

Frankie 60's RR OS

This is going to be just a when we finally see it, in all its glory. Amazing and the number this achieves could be mind blowing, too. Simply outstanding. And another big Congrats to Grey for acquiring and offering this piece!

Quote from: Starling on February 18, 2015, 01:57:17 PM

What are we thinking? Is Frankster gunna break 500 k??

I'm practically frothing at the mouth to see it

If I were anywhere near Dallas, I would be making a pilgrimage to genuflect in front of this beauty.

God, this is the best hobby

Quote from: Harry Caul on February 18, 2015, 02:07:47 PM

With ease I would think...

The REAL QUESTION IS WHICH POSTER WILL NOW BE ON THE FRONT COVER OF THIS SIG CAT? There are so many to pick from the I can see the editorial team going mad.

I will be glued to my computer, watching it live- hard life this is . I cannot wait ..

erik1925 · « **Reply #6482 on:** February 20, 2015, 01:52:08 PM »

I'd be willing to place a good bet that the Frankie 3 sheet will make the cover, as the centerpiece.

And maybe the LAM 3sh will share some space with it.

Mirosae · « **Reply #6483 on:** February 20, 2015, 02:05:46 PM »

Yes, you probably right. Though I would have it all covered in Maltes (Falcon) he he

I think it will be a tough call..

Yet another quad for 1939's Hunchback makes an HA appearance. Another copy? Or is this the one that they auctioned in November of 2013?

The pre-restore description reads closely to the one sold back then for $776.75

That Hunchback quad looks great. Definitely going to watch that and see what it goes for.

you can be sure that each marquee item will be represented, though the Frankenstein 3sh will indeed be the central item and will be the fiscal high point of the auction followed by LAM and the Falcon (most likely)

Congrats on getting it sent off, Paul. I know you were wanting and deciding the best route to take, and after obtaining the proper printer's info, it sounds like it will come off fantastically!

paul waines · « **Reply #6489 on:** February 26, 2015, 03:42:01 PM »

Part of the problem with it Jeff was it was stuck to a board, which made it a sod to post anywhere, but I managed too get it off the board a few weeks back, so it folded up nicely.

I'll post a pic when it arrives back here..

I just came across this one too, T.. and was going to ask the same thing...

"The poster has some many creases scattered throughout from being tightly rolled at one time."

And it reminds me of the old school paint by numbers canvases.

eatbrie · « **Reply #6496 on:** February 26, 2015, 07:25:36 PM »

No, I actually like this poster. At least it's not a headshot. At least it's trying, which is more than I can say about 99% of modern posters out there. I think the Birdman campaign was quite nice. Not $105 nice, though. Especially in this awful condition.

Those Canadian versions look to be reprints or other... They have different credits/logos at the bottom. It may be hard to find this one eventually.

erik1925 · « **Reply #6498 on:** February 27, 2015, 04:11:08 PM »

A BIN of $9 grand...

and offered by tloce, no less.

At least the borders all look nice and white.

Wow, with an NSS notice no less, before Universal signed with NSS. And those borders are so white they don't even have the Universal copyright notice.
