Mid-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....

Yes, I have just send email to Matt, who is in charge for this kind of stuff.

Edit Edit: Matt just reply: "This is actually the 1947 first release poster but someone added a United Artist snipe over the Constantin logo".

And Matt at emovie has and is always so appreciative, too, of any updates or things incorrectly noted on their site, that have been brought to their attention. He has written me back every single time, saying "thank you."

I usually don't advertise the stuff I have listed for sale or consigned, but here's a darn cool Australian one sheet for Player (1971) at eMovie.  It's a lost film about pool, and features Minnesota Fats.  This is the only poster for the film that I've seen, and after doing some research about the movie and everything, it's an extremely rare piece, and in darn good condition.

I just went through every page.....HOLY BALLS X 1 MILLION.....

That is the greatest single auction I have ever seen....I was a little overwhelmed to be honest...Profiles is going richter in the 1st auction.....of course there will be some deals and steals with that much amazing....if someone gave me $150,000 to spend...I wouldn't even make it halfway through the first day....there will be some epic bidding wars....I'm hoping there will be a decent trickle down effect for years to come as people "flip" some of the lots and break up sets etc....kind of sad but inevitable...

...My first reaction was that I felt like tons of the material has never been seen at public auction before...this is truly the rarest and most complete group of one of a kind material ever assembled in my lifetime...and clearly a once in a lifetime opportunity for serious collectors!!

I know...I just couldnt sit awestruck in silence any longer.....Rich...have you ever bid live via Internet at profiles before?..I wonder how it compares to the Heritage live format?...

[Mirosae]

You might be better off using their phone service. Just to be on the safe side...

[Simes]

A few years ago, I bid online for a poster at Profiles, and the whole thing ballsed up.  Nothing went through.

I am sure since then things have been improved.  I believe they were just very stringent on which browsers worked and didn't work.  I was on the latest version of IE at the time... so, who knows why that wouldn't have worked...?

Might be worth sticking a few bids on other Profiles auctions before hand, where the final price won't leave you holding the bag.

Awful poster.  I haven't seen the movie, but this is just bad.  All the talk about floating heads, I guess they started very early on.  If it wasn't for the title, I can't imagine this poster selling for a dime.

Even though we both posted about the relisting Jeff (see above) I still doubt it will sway Thierry's sentiments

A lot of these 30s-40s posters are pure crap, imo.  If it wasn't for age and title, people would not look at them twice.  Just because it is Bella Lugosi, or Frankenstein, or the Werewolf, people are like Ooooh and Aaaaah and spend 1000s of dollars on them.  But the designs are poor, unimaginative and I see a lot of what people hate in modern posters on these so-called beauties.  Granted, it probably comes from the fact that I haven't seen a lot of these movies.  I buy The Apartment even though the poster is crap just because I love the flick.  But I can recognize that the poster is crap.

A lot of the 'Universal Horror Phenomenon' is related purely to nostalgia (and in some cases rarity).  It's certainly not because these posters have the greatest artwork above all other paper...

I flew past some of the last few entries, here Chris; I had some internet connection issues and was not logged on for chunks of time the last couple of days.

1000 apologies for the double up.

Thanks for that, Rich.

A sense of calm now reigns once again.
