Here it is again Mike
Opening bid £1,000
Estimate: £2,000 - £2,500

http://www.invaluable.co.uk/auction-lot/1931-dracula-us-half-sheet-1-reelart-re-rel-109-c-8924aab8de

And it was passed on with that starting bid number.

I wonder what it might be offered at, the next time.

Goldfinger Quad. Currently at £2,099.07 with 5 hours or so to go. Would love too but the misses would divorce me and then probably kill me.

It should go for a relative song as there has been extensive painting going on. "...most of the black background has been repainted" for eg.

Reminds me of the Dr No quad I bought that had similar work done, and as soon as it was rolled for shipping, the paint cracked.

Never again.

Hope everyone ends up happy.

Simes · « **Reply #7478 on:** June 27, 2016, 04:02:25 PM »

Got to £2.5k with four hours to go and, perhaps unsurprisingly, stayed at exactly that with no last minute bidding for it at all.

erik1925 · « **Reply #7479 on:** June 27, 2016, 04:22:55 PM »

Simon, is this style quad uber-rare?

I checked and EMP has never sold one and HA has sold just one copy, last November, for $10,157.50 (inc the BP).

Were less of them produced?

Simes · « **Reply #7482 on:** June 27, 2016, 05:24:34 PM »

Yes, this was the UK quad produced for just the Irish market, The Irish who thought a semi clad / nearly naked Shirley Eaton was too racy - even if Sean was in front of her and nothing was obviously visible.

So instead, the Hand Quad was produced.

I got mine from Ewbanks only last year. It was around the £4.5k mark, which I think is about right. Unbacked, and in very good condition, albeit the folds on the thicker paper stock produces more prominent white lines on the matt presentation than normal. More like the effect on the gloss US 1 Sheets when machine rolled and the gloss cracks a little.

erik1925 · « **Reply #7483 on:** June 27, 2016, 07:40:29 PM »

Simon, Any guesstimate on how many of that quad might have been printed?

basemem · « **Reply #7484 on:** June 28, 2016, 02:13:29 AM »

Wouldn't be able to hesitate a guess on how many are out there but looking at how often it is sold they are rare. Might be the rarest of the bond quads, Paul will probably.

Was surprised there was no last minute bidding but it did look like it had quite a bit of restoration work completed.

Double negative there. You're suggesting you have the immediate answer...

Anyway, sorry Jeff. No idea on print runs.

paul waines · « **Reply #7486 on:** June 28, 2016, 12:18:44 PM »

Tis a scarce one, though I've seen less of the Thunderball one, which does bring more money.. Mostly due to them being cut up.

As for print run, it's anybody's guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was less than 500...

It's pretty cool. I don't know, these are completely foreign to me. Seems high, but I don't collect them, so who knows.

I have no reference for prices, but it is a cool poster.

Yeah god save us all if YOU start collecting war posters!

It is a cool poster. Someone is about to pay way too much for it though. It was actually in a movie I recently saw...can't remember which one dammit, it'll come back to me. Was it Edge of Tomorrow? (Cruise and E Blunt)

Don't worry, no chance of that. I enjoy looking at it, but I'm a pacifist.

It is one of the most well remembered US propaganda posters for WWII.

And it looks like it currently has 7 watchers, too.

I see it also has a B/O. I wonder if anything has been offered (and turned down) at this point.

Simes · « **Reply #7495 on:** July 18, 2016, 02:31:00 AM »

Am sure the seven watchers are there for morbid curiosity. I am one of them.

I asked the seller if it was the same quad, and how come it was suspiciously unsold. He said the buyer asked the seller to consign and flip for a BIN. It is a confident chap that sells something at market price and attempts a sale at four times the price.

Good luck to all bidding on HA's sig auction! May your wallets not take a beating.

do all lenticulars need to be shipped flat?

Damomac · « **Reply #7498 on:** August 05, 2016, 02:30:11 AM »

no but you risk damage by sending them rolled - best practice to send flat i think EMP will send rolled if requested but if it comes damaged its on you

ddilts399 · « **Reply #7499 on:** August 05, 2016, 08:08:57 AM »

The Avatar cannot be shipped rolled. It depends on the thickness of the plastic. Most of the more recent ones they are making need to be shipped flat.
