When you say "Vs" I guessing we are Not talking about the 1943 Frankenstein MEETS the Wolfman?

Yeah, that's the one!  Sorry, too much wine from a cookout I was at.

I've got a couple of bid bids in, including one coming up right at the start. I'll find out soon if I can look forward to being poor for the next couple of months  :P

I wonder how much they paid Adam West for his "pimping Heritage" video :)

Well, I "won" the NM+ condition Barbarella Style B for $1,075, the second most expensive poster I've ever purchased.  (Of course, not sure if blowing most of my discretionary income on posters is "winning.")  This poster is the ultimate 1960s poster. It does sell cheaper so I'm paying extra for the exceptional condition:

Barbarella (Paramount, 1968). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B.

In later years, Jane Fonda was embarrassed about starring as the sexually naive Barbarella in this science-fiction film for husband and director Roger Vadim. However, the film is so incredibly popular that Barbarella may prove to be Fonda's most memorable role. This very rare style B one sheet is also quite important for its "pop-art" motif, reflecting the 1960's psychedelic look of the era that created it. Of the few copies Heritage has handled over the years, this may be the best copy we've ever seen. Near Mint+.

That first auctioneer is not very good, pretty annoying in fact.  Sullivan's Travels, one of the best so far, went relatively low for $3,800, still way above my budget:

Cool one, Mel.  You hit the nail on the head with "the ultimate 1960s poster."  As a matter of fact, that may be a good thread to start "the ultimate poster for each decade."  Where is Sir Chop-a-Lot?  ;D

Fun stuff's coming up now - 50s horror/sci-fi and the Barbarella 40x60, supposedly only 9 left in the cosmos.  It's better than my Style B, but it would difficult/expensive to display properly:

I wouldn't say it's better than your one sheet.  My 40 x 60 frames are about $200 with acid free backing and UV plexi.

the "Ultimate" is something that will vary from one person to another
myself, I don't think that Barb poster is it. I don't know what "it" is though as I never really thought about it (I never considered boxing myself in by decades, so I also can't say what I think are the best of any other decade). I can say the barbarella 40x60 to me is way better art, and when I think about it.. it's very possible that the real "Ultimate 60s posters" is actually a poster from the "Ultimate movie" aka 2001. Especially to those of us who lived through the era, I'd say the Pan Am Clipper poster or the Star Child (probably Star Child) is the Ultimate 60s poster. a very ginormous # of people across many walks of life would automatically recognize that poster.

I hear ya, Rich, about how "the ultimate" varies from person to person, and how it would be more a propos for each generation to name "the ultimate" from an iconic film for when they were the "kewl" people of that generation.  Pan Am Clipper, hmm...I can't recall seeing that one.  For me, when I was basking in all the glory of my "kewlness", I would say without a doubt that the ultimate is the Pulp Fiction Lucky Strikes poster.  I can't think of any more deserving of the title "the ultimate" from that decade, but that's just my $0.02.

Great poster,but i`m pretty sure Quadmeister Paul was using this as wrapping paper, so its probably a good idea that no-one tries to buy one,except me..,

THIS is the Pan Am Clipper, Rich referred to...
Having also lived through the era, I agree with him -- it is the Ultimate Poster of the 60s...

  Bummed out right now.  I was not the top bidder on about 6 posters.  I guess my poster tastes are getting better, because every poster in my budget that I had an interest in drew several bids. Either that, or the fact that my wife gets back in town tomorrow has tempered my spending.   ;D

Tomorrow the prices will be more reasonable, so you should give it another shot tomorrow.  Today was for the elite stuff.
