Well put sir!

I didnt get the 3-4 pieces I wanted tonight cause Im one part poor, one part a cheap ass and one part looking at the stuff in the next parts...but... I did get something old and very crappy for the t-shirt. Yes!

Mel you are correct that that Goldfinger was sweet and way outta my league

Yeah the one sheets are up Thursday, more my size & style.

BTW that same art is on the Goldfinger quad and the six sheet (81x81!!)

I'm happy to have picked up this French 1p for a Jim Jarmusch festival to add to the advertising collection:

The total was $97,033!

See all the results here:

P.S. See you Thursday (and or Sunday for Part II or III)!

The Babe has still got it - well $9,700 of them anyways

Anybody get anything in the Emovie Major Auction 2? I wanted the Blonde Sinner but $370 was just too much for me. The MWTGG linen-backed went for $535, a little more than I paid for a non-LB.

CSM · « **Reply #632 on:** August 05, 2010, 10:20:00 PM »

Mel, I see your tastes becoming more and more refined. Bravo

That Blonde Sinner is a stunner, too bad you didn't get it...I am sure a non-backed one can be had cheaper.

Yeah, I got one I liked. Not one of 3 or 4 I REALLY coveted but hey Im not into bidding wars. Had one for a baby bit but I bailed.

Sux being poor with this habit.

Anybody else notice that Heritage has sold a bucketload of Mysterians (both on Heritage and Ebay) over the last few months - several dozen I believe - very odd to have that many copies of a 50 year old poster - they must have found a stash of them:

Yeah, I bought one, they obviously have not learned you do not post 8 of the same title if you want to stretch the bid on something. There is no other competition on the title, so they are shooting themselves in the foot, but I dont care, makes for some cheap posters for me.

Dr Hackenbush · « **Reply #636 on:** September 04, 2010, 01:11:32 PM »

There are a few like that, and many seem to be serials: Dick Tracy, Zombies Of The Stratosphere, etc.

I am just barely into my second year of collecting posters. I think I have learned a great deal and feel pretty confident in what I am doing but....wow ....some of the bidding I see on emovie and heritage always threatens to set me back a few months

*I am not saying that I have never placed some interesting bids.

Lost out on the exquisite two-panel Italian Lady Frankenstein (right) tonight on Ebay. Funny how the US one sheet (left) is totally different (but has some kooky charm).

It's possible the kooky charm derives from the subliminally large "package" the monster carries with him.

Shades of "Maniac."

Italian is great!

Harry Caul · « **Reply #642 on:** September 13, 2010, 11:27:42 PM »

Mel... preferring an artistic-Italian over a standard US 1-sheet... I'm shocked! Your conversion is almost complete!

I can't wait to see what you start unearthing after you fully renounce your old photoshopped-head ways...

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #643 on:** September 14, 2010, 06:59:41 AM »

Got this Zombie Walks Italian one panel as a "consolation prize" - although it's arguably just as as good as Lady Frankenstein:

P.S. Yes, Peter, I didn't notice "that goes without saying" that Frankenstein "vould have an enormous schwanzstucker!" (Young Frankenstein)

CSM · « **Reply #644 on:** September 14, 2010, 10:09:34 AM »

That's fantastic Mel...quite a consolation prize

Seriously. WTF.

Sunset Blvd. Polish Repro $283

It's an awesome image no doubt... But it's a repo. $283? Are you kidding me?

Yup, that's pretty staggering.

I got my Bardot for less.

I'm wondering if the buyer did not read Bruce's disclaimer and thought he was getting an original. That's the only explanation, really.

Either that, or the buyer is Jaws1975's brother.

No one could miss that disclaimer unless they were blind. It's in block capital red letters. It must be Jaws's bro, or maybe it's Anti-Jaws1975 who spends much on little.
