I couldn't find any other sales of one, so it's probably pretty darn rare.  Have you seen any sell at any price, recently or ever, Mel?

I haven't seen it before.  Maybe it's the start of a trend....

When Louie D. isn't sharing his infinite wisdom in Top Gun threads, he's one of the best contributors in other threads.

It's not the first poster with an infrared image, if you remember the Predator posters of yore, although one could say that the very rare Predators poster is a new trend, that is continuing on with the old school Predator posters.  Which begs the question: would you rather be in on something at the beginning of the trend or at the end?

If you haven't seen it before, then how was that price "unexpected."  The Poster Price Police would have a difficult time saying that price is too high if there are few or no other prices to compare it to...

We've had these for years, only in my day's we called it Day-glow...

We've had these for years, only in my day's we called it Day-glow...

...and they were made of felt

...and some looked best when lit with a black light.

[Harry Caul]

...and with the aid of herbal enhancements. 

[erik1925]

I have one similar to this. It's stored at my folks somewhere.

...and they were made of felt

Endless Summer is the best example of day-glo not on felt and Marvel comic book posters of thr late 60s-early 70s

re-issue late 50s or early 60s

A damned fine poster, that's what it is

What's the size of that Frank, Jeff?

Was it really part of a double-bill Rich?

[CSM]

Yes it is.  I shied away due to the apparent trimming (and not being able to quickly research further info)

[erik1925]

What's the size of that Frank, Jeff?

Matias, it has been years since i looked at it but I would say it is approx. 27x40. Or close to it.

[erik1925]

Chris, do you think, too, it is the angle of the photo that makes it appear an odd size? it almost looks too narrow (in the pic, of course) to be the right dimensions.

The seller says it's 20x40 in the listing so I dunno...

[Harry Caul]

If it is truly to top half of a double bill quad it has an odd fold pattern. I would expect either no horizontal fold or a single fold in the center.

[erik1925]

The seller says it's 20x40 in the listing so I dunno...

Here's the full 30x40 quad.

From the original listing: "The poster is an early re-release from the early 1950s."

[CSM]

Thanks Jeff!  I looked and looked and could not find the full poster. 

Now that I see it it looks better trimmed and I should have friggen' bid on it!

I did send out the Waines signal!  Must have been an overly cloudy night in England...
