Kinda of crazy... I found that Star Wars quad rolled with only pinholes on Craigslist about 7 years for $100. I thought it was a huge bargain as it was selling for $400-500 at the time. Now you can't even get the oscar version for $400 and this pre-oscar has sold for nearly $2k. It's amazing how some posters really take off in value in a relatively short period...

A Goldfinger poster.. It looks interesting and sold for only $37.01 USD on the bay. The bottom border looks to have been trimmed off. Would this be a first release? Later RR? Or something else?

Pre Oscars. That is usually £1000-1500 in excellent condition, so quite reasonable.

Someone did well then. 2 quads @400 each.... not too bad

Goldinger looks to be like a british crown or double crown used in Malta. Way nice for bond fans

exactly what I think.

The seller said the poster measures 18x22 inches.

That's also what threw me on it -- its size.

Some mixed results at Ewbanks, but wow, £200 for a Predator Quad, and £335 for Challenge in the Snow, consigned by Brian Bysouth

Sexy Beast quad, Dark Knight stuff did well, and a Star Wars Pre Oscars for £950
ROTJ Quad went for £360 while ESB went for £120?

I dont know about you guys, but what puts me off a little is the lack of condition report for the items?

I was surprised myself with that Predator Quad.. and ROTJ.....WTF...

On the whole I think they did quite well. I was out bid on a few items...seems like the market is picking up, dam it.

Did you win anything Paul, or just sell?

110x75 · « **Reply #7535 on:** June 29, 2015, 11:43:09 AM »

Paul, are you asking yourself questions?

paul waines · « **Reply #7536 on:** June 29, 2015, 11:44:33 AM »

It's an age thing Matias, gets you like this.......I'll go take a pill

Don't mix pills with wine Paul. You might get more confused...

A bargain for $40k ??

Yikes! Almost everything is exceeding the estimates thus far.

That's for sure; people are gobbling this stuff up!! PIH and Morrie are jumping for JOY so far.

I was just selling this, i wish had the Predator quad! It was a mixed bag of results but overall quite happy. They guys down there are nice and friendly, i am interested whether better condition reports (rather than having to ask for one) would make for better prices?

Mirosae · « **Reply #7543 on:** June 29, 2015, 03:31:58 PM »

That's a very good question. Personally I don't think it makes a difference. Bonhams sends condition reports on request and they do seem to do pretty nicely. To me the put off is the shipping...

CSM · « **Reply #7544 on:** June 29, 2015, 03:40:39 PM »

Belief in estimates is a fool's errand

Mirosae · « **Reply #7545 on:** June 29, 2015, 03:43:51 PM »

It gives you hope ... (sometimes!)

Yes, I'm glad I have it, I'd hate to think I had to pay that for one. They do give a good report and extra photos if you ask them, but time for a full report on everything is a nightmare. The posters are run by a fellow called Alistair, he's a great guy to catch hold of if you have any problems.

originalcinemaposters · « **Reply #7547 on:** June 29, 2015, 04:33:56 PM »

yep Alistair is a good guy, very helpful. A real step up from that shambles at Cameo!

Whatever ever happened to Vectis are they still doing posters?

Crazy Vick · « **Reply #7548 on:** June 29, 2015, 06:59:55 PM »

Floored by some of these prices... this has to be (already) the most lucrative poster/card auction ever? Unreal.

Filmlobbycards · « **Reply #7549 on:** June 29, 2015, 08:13:44 PM »

Unfortunately for a lot of the material i was watching the prices were ridiculous...The marx brothers lobbies were absurd...I did snag a few keatons and a Chaplin card that I have wanted forever...so i am very happy so far...
