Hi Folks,
I am new to the forum and noticed this poster on ebay but don't know a lot about it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/James-Bond-Goldfinger-US-Alamo-Drafthouse-Cinema-Poster-RED-VARIANT-No-5-of-10-/260973839212?pt=UK_DVD_Film_TV_Film_Memorabilia_LE&hash=item3cc340c36c

I saw one sold last year for nearly $3000 at an auction in England - can anyone tell me why its so expensive and what makes it so desirable?

thanks guys (and gals)

Pj

Welcome to the Forum.

The more common gold version (a print run of 300) became high profile when one sold for £2600 (hammer price) at Christies a few years ago. The auctoneers had heavily promoted the lot and the poster was displayed in their high street window prior to sale. It is one of the best prints to have been released from Alamo (original cost: $20) and when you have one in hand you see the incredible detail and quality in the image. Of course, it helps that it is a popular film and that there is a cross-over collectors market. It typically sells in the $600 - $800 range.

At the time relatively few people realised that there was a much rarer red variant (a signed print run of just 10) which had been available directly from the artist. It is simply a matter of supply and demand that this version sells for more.

to the forum PJ

The fellow selling it is/used to be a member here. Drop him an email if your interested, I'm sure he will answer any questions you have...

Though, Mark does seem to have done a jollyfine job of detailing it...

to APF, PJ.
What is your area of collecting and, do you have your collection online?
If you take the plunge for that GOLDFINGER variant, we want to see pictures.

When did PJ become a pseudonym for Adam?

Boys, looks like you've been punked. "PJ" comes out of the blue and doesn't introduce himself. He uses a moronic, obviously manufactured email address like "peterjackson4eva@hotmail.com." Adam's poster is one of bazillions on Ebay and "PJ" just happens to mention it? This forum is getting as infested with fake identities as NS4.....

Ari · « **Reply #6 on:** March 10, 2012, 08:00:42 PM »

Huh? NS4? Dont think we have had one for a LONG time.

And yeah I think its Adam also.

Yes, I should have realised. Welcome back Adam!

Great to have you back Adam!

How vain is that???

I just checked, and indeed, both addresses are 10 miles apart.

Really Adam? Really?

It's fucking ridiculous, and I've just moved the thread here. I'd rather leave it around and have folks have fun with it than delete the thing. I do agree with Thierry, though. Really? Adam? Really?

It's an awesome poster, though.

What if it isn't Adam? Poor guy is probably wondering what the hell he said...

Forgot the "." nimrod.

Although, I sure as hell have noticed I can't write lately; forgetting letters, replacing words, bad sentence structures, etc. I hate it. I am going to blame it on George Bush and Rick Perry.

Folks,

I am not this Adam - who is he, tell me about him and why would I want to be him?

peterjackson4eva@hotmail.com

I joined because I thought it would be a bit of fun. Then I saw a poster I hadn't seen before on ebay.com and thought a bit of help was in order as I like it and was/am considering making an offer for it.

Instead, I'm accused of being someone else.

Thank you for a nice welcome

You don't want to be him. Nobody does. But you are. Sadly.

paul waines · « **Reply #19 on:** March 11, 2012, 06:32:16 AM »

I do hope it is Adam, this place is much better with him...

Ari · « **Reply #20 on:** March 11, 2012, 06:43:15 AM »

ADAM FOR PM!

Dear Holiday,

Forgive me, I hardly know any of you except for what I have read.

After my very first post it seems I am someone else according to you and your members - I am amazed at the moronic insults I received from some of
your members. I thought I was joining a group of like minded people interested in posters and hoped to get some help.

You obviously have serious issues - whatever has gone on in the past or present on your forum with the person I am supposed to be is neither my problem nor do I wish to be part of the paranoia.

I joined your group for fun, not to be part of a war/implosion that you all seem to be having - is this how you treat all new members ?

Unbelievable!

Please remove me from your members list

Goodbye Peter. Our forum will be much the worse for losing you.

But at least we learned of that wonderful eBay auction you "found".
