Damn, I would shirley have liked to have gotten my hands on that "Cleopatra." It would look outstanding next to my "Salome" card. If anybody has a non-$6000 version from that stack sitting around, do get in touch.

Anyone any idea how many was in the stack..... Bruce?

Bruce · « **Reply #1252 on:** August 07, 2011, 11:33:13 AM »

I would guess at least six. I had a few over the years. Some were pretty deteriorated, some were really nice.

It is almost surely NOT from a different printing. Notice the exact same theater info. A bunch of these were found many years ago in a stack. The framed one may have been on top of the stack and received the most dirt. I would have to see it out of the frame (and a good picture) to see to what extent it could possibly be "cleaned". It is not impossible that it would look pretty good after "cleaning", but it would not look like it originally did, without being "dipped in paint".

I have seen items that were massively "worked over" that have been described as just having had a "good cleaning". Remember that auctioneers and sellers often try to present something "in the best possible light", which sometimes can involve bending the truth.

Bruce

So Bruce, what do you think it might auction at? Don't worry, I won't hold you to it... I realize it would just be an estimate.

Bruce · « **Reply #1254 on:** August 07, 2011, 01:38:31 PM »

It depends on who is bidding that day, at what auction house it is offered, and whether a bidder leaves a high absentee bid!

I would guess that in a 100% honest auction I would expect it to go between $1,000 and $2,000, but of course it could go much higher (or a little lower) on any given day.

Thanks Bruce. That is about what I was ballparking as well when I bid.

So I am spent... How did everybody do tonight on the daybills.

I got my Amadeus daybill;

(you nailed it Brian)

Other daybills I snatched:

Dances with Wolves
Gallipoli (brown)
Lethal Weapon
Loves of Isadora (nice red Vanessa Redgrave; bought this one for the look) http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2266688
Sudden Impact (paid for this one who knew?); figured since I finished off my B2 Dirty Harry set I could grab one more towards my daybill set.

Only loss was the German For a Few Dollars More; would have liked it but didn't know how much I would have to pay for the Amadeus...

Overall a good night!

Good to hear you did well. There was a little bidding war on the Mad Max daybill, which was fun to watch, although it would have been more fun had I won

. I scored a pretty sweeeet Piranha daybill for a good price, so I'm stoked about that.

Who is the guy Chris (CSM) was talking about who dominated the daybill bidding wars the last time emovieposter had a daybill auction?

eatbrie · « **Reply #1260 on:** August 11, 2011, 09:09:35 PM »

Not me. I passed on all of them. Like Chris said, I don't think I'm quite a fan yet. This is a tough one. I need more brainwashing.

Everyone could use more brainwashing!

There are some really cool alternate artworks from Australia, and they're probably more rare than their US counterparts, which also increases the coolness IMHO. The bidding wars are fun, so I look forward to the next time Bruce has a daybill auction and I (hopefully) don't have other endeavors to fund.

Boy, that sentiment is a day late.

Among others, I picked up Butterfield 8, To Kill a Mockingbird, Dementia 13 Horizontal, One Million BC, and Rocky I and II. I bought enough tonight that I probably should go on a daybill "hiatus".

I think it is fair to say that Edwige Fenech has at least two very loyal fans! I wonder what they see in her?

Yeah, that's what I can't stand about your auctions, Bruce. A lot of times, I overbid on an item, not because I really want it, but because I don't want the other guy to get it. It becomes a game. For instance, your Little Mermaid French lobbies are not worth anywhere close to $69, but I upped it from $20 something because I was annoyed. I would have been supremely annoyed to get them for $69, but that's another story

You just have to know when the other party has suffered enough

Bruce · « **Reply #1266 on:** August 11, 2011, 09:34:21 PM »

It is your macho-ness that brings that out in you, and it is what makes people consign say, 100 items, knowing that 30 or 40 will go for a dollar or two or three, because there will be some that should go for $20, but go for $69 after two macho studs butt heads for a while!

As to "I probably should go on a daybill "hiatus", I completely agree! (At least for a month or so when I likely will have some in my mini/major auction).

But so that you don't have huge "withdrawal", have you thought about instead buying some inserts or locandinas which are the American and Italian equivalent of daybills? It just so happens we will be adding 800 of those in an hour or so!

Bruce

eatbrie · « **Reply #1267 on:** August 11, 2011, 09:36:52 PM »

Yeah, sometimes it really doesn't make sense. I got Gatacca for $3. $3 for one of the 90s coolest flick. Go figure.

Nice job Brian - Dementia 13 horizontal is one of the top daybills out there...

Thanks for the heads up, although he/she is/was one of many apparent daybill lovers.

That was a very nice haul, ATL. You scored some of the best ones (IMO) that were there tonight.

Bruce · « **Reply #1273 on:** August 11, 2011, 10:16:29 PM »

There WERE many high prices, but HALF of the items sold for $8 or less!
