I'm throwing in the towel after this....

Superman 6S soars to $15.5K:

[Mirosae]

Good luck Rosa

I was just £87,456 short! 

[Mirosae]

40x60 BAT = $10,000 (one sheet sold for $5500)

.....To be honest.... I have seen this one so many times.. it doesn't appeal to me at all...

I will just buy a print and save 10K..

Ouch! - and this coming from the biggest fan ever of a set of Cast Heads from Casablanca in large format?!?!  It is all in the little black dress Rosie - not other BAT has it.

It is all in the little black dress

There's not much in there

And remember, too, that $10K could buy her a lot of "filler."

Honestly Chuckie, you need to get out more...plenty of LBD's out there...some come with watermelonies!!

Damn Wim, that is beautiful.
One of my favorite films.
 

+1, except for having seen the film.  Great taste for a poster pre-1980.

Well I am done - bye bye HA Live.

  I was done when they snubbed me on the catalog. Though I could have been enticed if one of my Top 5's had been in the auction in excellent shape.  They had a bday SW but it was not in top shape to deserve the HA premium.

[movieposters]

...realizing over the last few HA auctions I'm slowly drifting to the back of the catalog more and more.   Most items in the auctions today were a little out of my comfort zone considering condition.  There were a few that slipped by  - $650 + BP for a VF Night/Living Dead not too bad.

I received the 'you were high bid' message on HA Live on a Vertigo 1/2 only to realize a late bid came in that then restarted the auction.   

Liked this French Monroe piece but 1800 is a bit much...odd but something about the turquoise font that makes this one appealing.

Once you get married, you die a little... All I have left is Audrey, Grace, Liz, Lana, Natalie, Gwyn, CZJ, Nicole, Emily, well basically any woman that I can convince my wife I will never have a chance with.  The dead ones are easy...     Yeah Charlie -   not funny...

[Mirosae]

I am sure your wife looks beautiful in a LBD. Just make sure you tell her, and she will do the rest!

Dracula fell way short of where I thought that one would end at.

Have to agree here - someone got a relative bargain in my opinion

[CSM]

tx, always wanted a Lewton, this best one after Zombie and Cat People. Paid slightly more than intended, but will be agreat showstopper for my next exhibit

There are far worse ways to spend $1,200 - awesome poster & movie

She does!

LB Godzilla for $4.4K, not too smart considering it usually sells for much less and you can find a near-perfect unbacked copy on Ebay for less.

[erik1925]

Sold during HA's Session 2, yesterday, this Rolled half sheet for The Searchers.

It sold for $2390.00, inc the BP.

£265 for a text only Revenge of the Jedi quad, that is one for the completest!

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

[INSPIRED BY REAL LIFE POSTS]

I continue to amaze myself that I won this Motor Madness three sheet for less than what they usually sell for. 

Very thankful that the previous winning bidder or under bidder didn't chase this up too high!!

THIS VICTORY PROVES YET AGAIN THAT I AM THE WORLD’S GREATEST MOVIE POSTER BUYER!

Mel

Congratulations Mel. It sure fits into your collection!

Bruce

P.S.  JUST LOOKED OVER THE 999 ITEMS ENDING TONIGHT AND - FOR THE 598TH AUCTION IN A ROW - I SAW LOTS OF REALLY WILDLY UNDER-PRICED ITEMS. THE ONLY THING I CAN FIGURE IS THAT PEOPLE ARE EXTREMELY STUPID! DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!

************

Cool but of course the daybill is vastly superior.

Good catch. Of course, I bought this same poster for $7 from an obscure garage sale in Timbuktu and flipped it on Cinemasterpieces for $1,200 a month later. Just thought you should know that

Harry Caul

Meh. I don’t see Audrey on that poster.

Charlie

Great poster. Of course if the liberal elite take over this country, it will be illegal to drive anything other than golf carts.  See this article on [link to nutjob website].

This post is yet another example of Mel's out-of-control ego!!!

Adam

P.S. Some of you may think this is a joke! It is not a joke!

[Mondo Hazardo]

Congrats Mel that's a cracking poster.

BTW you are lucky i did not chase you, like it very much, but am already spent literally and figuratively
