The only possible way I'd spend any money on that is if I was going to get it linenbacked, and I hate linen. Ergo, I think it's worthless.

Regarding the Apocalypse Now B0 hammer price, this infamous line comes to mind: "These can be very difficult to find in any condition! A long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale." As much of a marketing tactic it is, I think it rings true for some items.

not really. thats the 2nd one i have seen in the past 18 mos or so.

2 times in 18 months is still pretty darn rare. It may not be an extreme unicorn, but I think the potential is there for "a long time can go by..."

This beautiful, first release US OS for the 1943 RKO film, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, went to the high bidder, on Oct 1, who got it for $3827.00.

I did a quick search and the last copy sold by HA, in November 2009, sold for $9560.00 (inc the BP) and Bruce's last recorded sale was in July 2004, for $3501.00.

A fantastic image, for a poster that doesn't seem to show up that frequently.

And a great film, I must always be content with my reissue insert, which I kinda like better art wise.

Patience paid, off, it seems. THE INVISIBLE MAN WC, offered for years by Eggbert, finally sold in early August. It was interesting to see this card listed month after month, over the last several years with various prices attached to it.

It had been restored (missing upper left corner, stains, holes) and backed.

It sold (a BIN) for $9750.00

EGBERT PROBABLY BOUGHT IT FROM HIMSELF IN A FIT OF INCOHERENT RAGE

I can only think that it's a new person who loves Star Trek and who has no idea that Heritage is NOT the only source for movie posters.

It took me awhile to realize that what I thought was rare because I did not see it often was not necessarily rare given the many other sources that I was not aware of.

But, in the end, that's just plain ole FUCKING STUPID to spend that money for that poster. What a retard. Imagine when he learns in a year or so just how fucked he was.

Well presumably there were actually TWO idiots accounting for this poster's result

More proof Star Trek is fantasy not SF, robots don't lose their temper

Two extremely rare Wizard of Oz one sheets (both Style C and Style D) sold today for high prices, along with some Tarzan posters. (All prices below do not include 10% buyers premium). From the estate of MGM animal trainer and performer Volney Phifer:

Pressbook images:

Style D (the superior one IMHO):

Style C:

I'd kill for that "Tarzan and His Mate" one sheet. That auction obviously wasn't too far under the radar but I sure didn't notice it.
