The same style Goldfinger Quad sold at Christies on the 23 june 2010 for £5000 + commision. So I guess that was a bargain?

A glance at the auction image showed it had condition issues.

The price doubled in the last 40 seconds. (Why do these early bidders even bother - all the action is in the last 10 seconds?)

Sniping just turns auctions into "Make an Offer"... The best offer in those last 10 seconds wins

I wanted that Rocky poster at Heritage......I just got outbid at $5000.00.

kinda glad I didn't get it....

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #604 on:** July 16, 2010, 10:32:01 PM »

Yeah, that Rocky I drive-in poster has to be very rare but I prefer the yellow "fight style" for Rocky II:

CSM · « **Reply #605 on:** July 16, 2010, 10:41:10 PM »

Mel, pretty sure the drive-in poster is for Rocky I...

Right you are and I corrected my earlier post. BTW what is going on at Heritage? A lot of stuff did not sell and is on "Buy Now" status. Fortunately, I'm wiped out at the moment so I ain't in the "fight."

CSM · « **Reply #607 on:** July 16, 2010, 11:20:35 PM »

Prices/reserves were obviously too high and the lots passed. Now they go into "buy now" purgatory...

So much of what I was watching didn't receive a single bid or sold for under the estimate, often for well under the estimate. Wish I had money to spend, 'cause I would've gone to town

Same exact situation here.

So someone out there REALLY likes Audrey Hepburn.

Same bidder just spent $5,804 (by my calculation) on 12, 8x10 portrait photos in Bruce's auction closing tonight!

I saw her recently on Huckabee and, at 69 years of age, she still looks astounding!

This Paris-Champagne went for $155 tonight on Heritage. This is the kind of poster that makes me mad - all my hyper-modern beauty posters look like junk compared to it:

50s · « **Reply #615 on:** August 02, 2010, 01:17:45 AM »

I love hearing Mel coming round to the older stuff

This Paris Champagne is 23.5" X 31.5". I have the 47" x 63" version folded up in storage... You are motivating me to dig it up and check it out again. When I received mine, I was a little dissapointed the colours were a bit flat. It is nice artwork, and I collect posters only for the artwork.

Well, I'm ordering a "course correction" - just landed this 1962 beauty:

scartacus · « **Reply #618 on:** August 02, 2010, 05:55:06 PM »

Very nice. I've always had a hankering for the Chantrell Quad.

Dr Hackenbush · « **Reply #619 on:** August 02, 2010, 07:11:28 PM »

Mel's 1sh is very nice, but that quad is outstanding!

MoviePosterBid.com · « **Reply #620 on:** August 02, 2010, 07:12:55 PM »

the US poster would be better if you saw Carroll from the other side

MoviePosterBid.com · « **Reply #621 on:** August 02, 2010, 07:16:17 PM »

and if you like that trashy stuff, someone is going to be a lucky winner on this one weds
the babe in the middle is wearing some seriously tight shorts

They don't make them like those 70's babes anymore

Yes, it's a looking a bit bedraggled. I've tried perking it up a bit in Photoshop, giving the title more pizzazz, and restoring the original vibrant colors:

Any surprises from Round 1 of Emovie's auction? Most of it was not really my (plebian) style but I liked the Presto ($350) and Gold 1/2 ($950):
