time to consign mine!

There are 60 of the Wolverine (with the same art as the normal release with thousands printed), there are 6 of the potter. Never be in the same ballpark price wise or state for that matter.

Quite agree. A year or two ago I predicted that the Prisoner of Azkaban lenticular would be a $10,000 poster in 10 years time. It certainly seems to be heading in that direction.

Just thinking out loud and wondering.... what made this quad go from a $21.00 poster in 2012, to a $430.00 poster at the end of 2016? What drives this kind of price jump? Is it nothing more than 2 people that REALLY want it?

it's still a $21 poster

I was going to make this remark, but I wasn't sure what the # was (I thought it was 10, but I wasn't certain)

I think there are also more Harry Potter fans than there are Wolverine fans

At $460, that's a lot of coin to be paying to see Bill Murray sitting in a bathrobe.

And it's a lenticular!!!

It takes 2 for that price.

Looks like someone got a real deal here, back in the day.

This US OS of The Lady Vanishes (1938) (on linen), sold for $9350.00 in 1992:

well it is obviously the same photo, and would have to be an incorrectly filled template, most likely relating to a modern era title but where there was only skeletal data for the ebay sale to be entered into the current sales database. I can understand how errors of this nature occur and I'm sure they'll find the correct data, if available.

I went to that result and clicked on the date of 1/1/97.  The date seemed kind of suspicious.  There is an odd assortment of all sorts of poster formats folded, rolled, inserts, lobbies, etc, claimed to be sold on that date.  A majority don't have images.  None have condition noted.

You need to ask Bruce, but I think you found the Alan Smithee of his database.  Where he put stuff from the eBay period that couldn't be reconciled.

With that, I am not too confident of the bargain

Thanks for one possible explanation, Rich, as it seems that a definitive response/explanation, from the original source, will, once again, not be forthcoming.

Why? Silence gives no information.

I've have asked any number of questions about various topics over the years and ALL have received no reply. Not only is that rude but it's been waste of my time, sorry to say. Others have also been met with zipped lips, too.

[erik1925]

Italian 4-F for Bordertown (1935), just went for a cool $28K (plus bp).  

[erik1925]

The Leopard Man 6 sheet went for over 3x the high estimate of 3 grand, closing at $11K plus the BP. 

[erik1925]

The Invisible Man teaser: $230,000.00 plus the bp!!

Bloody hell, that last was impressive.

I know, I saved up for years....

Wow maybe some of them will become movie poster collectors now that they've bought their first movie posters
