This US OS for Munster Go Home sold for $377.00 today.

What makes this interesting is that this is also the same seller that sold that fake Monet painting that was discussed on the board a couple days ago. In looking at his other recent sales, he also sold what he claimed is a signed oil painting by Joan Miro. Crude in execution and it just looks all wrong. And it also has no "certication." Yet someone still shucked out $380.00 for it.

And an awesome one sheet for "Historia de Crimenes" that, luckily, nobody outed. Hell yeah!

Matias, i know.

He also has/had some cool looking, original lobby cards, as well.. but he was selling other things, too, like watches, clocks etc.

So why get involved in selling people known fake oil paintings? Seems an oddball mix.

All about the $$$.

Funny, the pro-ignorance forces won't stop about AuctionZip being "revealed" to this forum, even though every dealer and many collectors already knew about it.  Maybe they should spend more time actually looking for bargains instead of blubbering on. This linen-backed Yellow Submarine Italian two panel - yes that's a ginormous 55"x78" - sold for a mere $322 last night.  You buy a hanger from PosterHanger.com for $50, hang it up, and you've got a fantastic conversation piece.  I was stupid stupid not to bid, but I just have bought too much lately:

This used to be a solid $3000-$3500 piece and I know of at least one copy that sold for $5000.
The post-Haggard depression continues.

That's a was a considerable drop then if sold for ..ONLY $1800

[erik1925]

For sure.

And when one considers it was listed initially, for $2300.00, and had no takers.   

[Mirosae]

Gosh...that $1800 was a good price then...

[MoviePosterBid.com]

Rosa, it was a great price at $2300 and a gift at $1800. It's a tough poster to find and it was priced in the $1800 range 15 years ago. The Haggard scandal has definitely taken a toll on Uni-horror, not just because people are afraid of the stuff and don't have the information, but because a number of Uni-horror collectors have been stung and aren't buying the same way now. A poster like this, unbacked, for which there is no doubt it is authentic, should not have had such a price drop, especially not from a trusted seller. It's a perfect example of how the Haggard scandal continues to hurt the hobby, presuming people are paying attention and recognizing that this is a result of that fraud.

[Mondo Hazardo]

You're probably right Rich on the price. However I think you're only paying for the "UNIVERSAL - Mummy"-tag. I honestly can't see why anyone would like to pay $1800 for a cheaply made, unrefined piece of paper from 1951. You could buy so many much nicer posters for that money. In regards to rarity, that strikes me as odd. Why would a Realart re-release be rare? They probably printed a lot of lot, didn't they?

[MoviePosterBid.com]

can't answer to available qty of Realart paper, but 7 years ago I bought a Realart House of Dracula 1sh (look in my  collection thread). since that day, I have not seen another for sale

just got to my warehouse & did a check (45 mins later)... Heritage did sell a copy in 2011.

Maybe if some people spent more time looking for a girlfriend than stupidly buying too many posters they would have someone to discuss a 'conversation piece' with?
