Oooohhhhhhh oops. 

That's great, but seriously, what in the world made this so desirable? There were a bunch of bidders too!

Serious Spider-Man collectors perhaps?

First release Aus daybill (a more poor, less detailed scan, unfortunately), the  complete, R1950s version, and a b/w image of the 6 sheet, which looks pretty cool, too!

Son of the Sheik (Fr 1P) 1930

I still think this is the best, most iconic Valentino. And it went for peanuts, in my humble opinion. Benito will be selling this for €9,000 and without the frame.

The problem with these auctions is that a lot of people don't know about them.  Had I known this was going on, I would have probably bid on a few items.  Heck, I don't even know what Weschler is.

I wonder if these prices include the much-beloved 20% buyers premium?

Yeah, I don't read all this stuff...  Oh well...

I assumed so. I would still think that the price would have been...well. I need to stop thinking about this. Bye, bye Mrs american pie...

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

The auction results don't say "realized price," which reflects the buyer's premium.  I'm guessing that those were the hammer prices.

I lost interest when the auction runner told me everything was being sold with "hidden reserves." No can do....

I just checked your links, Matt.  So these people were selling stuff framed?  That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.  So you're stuck with a frame that you have to trash?  I guess I didn't miss anything after all.
