That makes some sense. Also, word would soon get round a hospital about a celebrity patient and I imagine it wouldn't be difficult for a nurse or someone similar to get something signed, assuming the patient was not so unwell.

He might have even signed it on New Year's Day - hence the reasoning behind and importance of adding the year. fmitbuib

That's exactly why I think it could be real. Wouldn't a forger likely choose another year - or omit one entirely to circumvent the uncertainties that would arise and that you highlight?

Or to charge even more as one of his last signatures ever.
If I was a forger, I would be certain to personalize all signatures, since most sheep always assume those must be the real ones as forgers wouldn't personalize them.

Talked to a couple of major Karloff collectors yesterday who said they would not touch it, good enough for me.

I have seen a few genuine Karloff Signatures that were dated. This is one I wouldn't touch either, too much wrong with it. Would love to date the still, wonder if there's a pic of the back.. ?
It's more than a Hobby...

Personalizing is the way to go. I only own one signature and it's personalized: "Dear Tahmmie, All the best, Eddie Cantor." It's on a cloth napkin. I never found out who Tahmmie was but as it's undated it could theoretically have been for me. That's what I tell the boys. I'm very lucky.

As for the Karloff siggie, perhaps he could have slurred his handwriting, added some drool stains; may be instead of a snipe, the daily hospital chart could have been glued to the back?

The last three Daniel Craig Bond movies, the quads currently at ~£1000.  Each.

Heaven forbid.

Bless the little eBay sellers who look at that and price their BINs accordingly.

I think the FRWL still at £1300 is my favorite "value" in the auction so far (or perhaps the Goldfinger at £1800)

Even more telling though are some of these bids that are still reserve not met. If I had a sucker investor on the line willing to pay some of those bids, I wouldn't risk it by saying he didn't meet the reserve which is set at 2-3x FMV.

Low print numbers might appeal to a small group of collectors, but I don’t think they have a bearing on price. Looking at sales history on expressobeans, I think the last few on eBay have sold around the $4k mark. Although 525 is quite a large run, I think a lot have settled into collections.

Tobin, are you the one who posted that insightful comparison study between prints and posters?  For SW?  I liked that.  I think it was you and you should post it here.

Not Mondo, but other people do European titles.  Check this Durieux for one of my favorite movies, Wenders' Paris, Texas with Nastassja Kinski, the cinematic love of my life (and my avatar).

Thanks T, that was me. Just a few jumbled thoughts, I find it quite an interesting topic so rambled on a bit. As you collect both, I’m glad you agreed with some of it.

ouchouchouch, hope he/she was insured. there are obviously things much more important than paper but must be terrible finding something like this has happened.
some still look very displayable to me but i'm not mr picky. maybe even more were damaged as well :^(

Is this the same one from the Kenneth Schacter case some years back (or was that linen-backed, I can't remember)?

Same one, and it's backed.

Does anyone on here buys bulk items from Bruce?  Just wondering.  I have never done it, and will never do it, because this is not the way I collect.  I like to know each poster's condition and don't want to end up trashing 90% of the posters I got for a few I might keep, let alone pay for shipping.  Have you guys done it?

I have done it a few times. I have bid on some this time as well (But this time I've let myself be outbid on all of them, I think...). I think they are best for the beginning collector--but not you. I have bid several times, going after certain posters, paying more than I wanted to pay, and ending up with many posters I have no use for as well as the one or two I wanted. Besides, those one or two I was after invariably I find elsewhere. The lots are a great idea in one sense- and I applaud Bruce and company for offering them. But for you and even myself (But I don't seem to ever learn) who have been collecting for years, it's probably not the best way to spend the $$$. As far as condition, most are more or less accurately graded. I have had a few things come through with a bit more wear than I thought was warranted for the grade the lot received. But eMovie does have images of ALL of the posters in the lots and you can blow them up and inspect them. But really... I think you'd be better off looking for that one title or however many you see in a lot elsewhere. You can probably find someone reselling them on eBay. (I spent $80-$90 or more recently for a lot to get an obscure poster for a kiddie matinee movie I didn't have, TOM THUMB AND LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. There are now a few on eBay from other lots that contained the same poster.) But do what you think best... CHEERS!

Where is that old avatar you had of her a few years back? I thought it was a very enchanting image of her...but i don't recall now what it looked like...

Hmm... Wasn't it always this one?  I don't recall to be honest.  This one is from One From the Heart, a movie I personally love.

Thanks for that.  I will never bid on these, because I need more than a picture.  I need to know everything about a poster and I'm not going to go thru 50 posters I don't care about.  Isn't it a way for Bruce to get rid of all the stuff he cannot sell separately? Keep his sellers happy?  You're right, not for us.
