5X low estimate!

The top SW MP collector in the WORLD - and current LucasFilm employee - told me earlier this month:

Pretty sure I corresponded with this consignor when he previously unsuccessfully tried to sell it for $20K on eBay. I - incorrectly - told him it would never sell that high.

Yep, all absolutely ridiculous. But whatever... if you have the money and enjoy spending.

And yep (2) Vilmur doesn’t know. No one knows where the Japanese ESB came from. Not even our expert Mike.

Wow! That’s an amazing result.

I like that the new record price for a SW poster is for an image with some beautiful art, as oppose to a text only poster!

Here's a cool photo a friend took from an exhibition in Leicester in the UK. 'May the Toys be with You' is mainly about the toys, but there are some posters there too, including this Empire Strikes Back Marler Haley set

Haaaaaa... So insanely jealous (and I'm never jealous!!!) But this, I want so bad. I own 3 of the 6 and will probably never see the other 3.

Thanks for the pic.

Damn that’s soooooo nice all framed up.

So nicely framed up AND so jealous!
I'd love to have that set up on my wall!!

That is awesome to see! Thanks for sharing.

Been wanting that set myself for a long time but will likely never see it come to be.

I went to see this exhibition a few years ago when it first opened in Canterbury; it looks like he's added to his poster collection since then (I know his first Star Wars love was the Palitoy range). Very nicely done and well worth a visit:

Thanks for the link, Huey. Cool that the real Archbishop of Canterbury joined in! Okie

This is absolutely extraordinary. If it existed as a one sheet, I’d spend A LOT of dough to acquire it. Great!!!

I'm right there with you on that, T. Beautiful Star Wars poster. It's my favorite image now. Troy

Yo, I'm not dissuading anyone from posting in this thread - which I started in the Stone Age

- but you should consider dual-posting here AND in the Star Wars Facebook SW MP Group, which has 1.7K members, most of whom live in their parents' basement

https://www.facebook.com/groups/134503133419690/

You'll have to post under your real FB name!

The founder is Tony van Dam, who is a top-notch dude AND SW collector! He has personally met several SW MP artists inc:

He requested them to include the MP creation year.

And now Tony has recently met up with Paul Shipper and had his Dolby Last Jedi Bus Shelter signed.

Mel forgot to mention that the asking price for this on eBay was 15K

If I knew for sure that this poster was real, I'd have no problems forking it out.

So I encourage "all y'all" to gift your lesser-value SW-MPs to youngsters. I offered this rare but damaged Solo MP free to parents on the SW-MP-FB Group and the "winner" sent me this charming photo back - notice the plane!
