Alright, fess up... who is this "David" SOB and why did you outbid me on my Double Indemnity insert
Just kidding of course. I'm not sure who of you all saw
this auction, but they had estimated values that were ridiculously low ($3-500 on said DI). I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up as there were clearly multiple heavies in the room that the auctioneer new by name (David and Mel, I'm looking at you). I was listening to the audio and the most vigorous bidding was definitely in house, not online. I was really surprised though, there were a few deals, but a lot of stuff went higher than I thought it would for how little publicized the auction was. Then again, maybe I just don't know the right people
Some highlights that I missed out on:
Double Indemnity insert ($2900 -- $3712 w/BP)
Sunset Boulevard insert ($1800 -- $2304 w/BP)
Magnificent Ambersons insert ($700 -- $875 w/BP)
Forbidden Planet WC-trimmed ($400 -- $500 w/BP)
This Island Earth insert ($475 -- $594 w/BP)
The Lady Eve half sheet ($1600 -- $2000 w/BP)
etc....
