Mid-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....

[Louie D.]

if yuo wanted to see JLC's, the place to be was Cinevent last year
Morrie Everett had an 8 inch deep box full of them and lots of unbelievable stuff

he had more in that one box than I have seen in my entire life

Aw, damn, you should have called me

you should have gone to Cinevent!

Thanks for the reply Bruce, I figured that was probably the case.

I think some could be fixed rather quickly but just altering the brightness and contrast a bit to something that is less muted/dark and more natural looking.
The two Dr. No pieces I posted here caught my eye at first glance, especially the French small.

I will go over the entire auction and send Phil a concise list that makes sense and isn't overboard probably later tonight since we are getting ready for company to come over in a bit.

We had some spare time, so we went through all of them and identified 34 that are not as good as they should be.

So we will start getting them all out and re-shooting them, and the new images should be in place by Monday (maybe some later today).

So no need to bother, but thanks very much for pointing this out!

Haven't been in about 4 years. It's just been too difficult to get there after Cinefest, summer vacation with the missus, and with Capitolfest coming up.

The French Dr. No, might be my choice for one of the most beautiful posters I have ever seen on several levels, but the photo looks like the power went out, and again, doesn't really serve the beauty that the poster instills in person.

This is by far my favorite Bond poster and the one poster my wife chose to put in her office, which means a lot.

Great, Bruce. After a quick browse, it all looks much better.
Again, don't mean to nitpick, but thought that such a great lineup needs to be showcased in the best possible light. (Pun intended).

Hope the camera crew isn't too annoyed at me.  

Looks like someone needs to be placed on the payroll

I will settle for more house credit!

Thierry, I 100% agree with you. BY FAR the best Bond poster available. IMO.
I love and have tons of admiration for much of the Bond paper, especially the early quads and the like...but for me personally, this one takes the cake. It is perfect.

My wife HATES most of my posters, especially 007 stuff, but when she saw this one she literally said 'ooh that one is beautiful, I wouldn't mind that on the wall...love it!".
Never said that about any other poster.

Looks terrific framed up, BTW.

Godfather window card

I've never seen a wc for this title

I have noticed a bunch of later movies with window cards I have never seen appearing suddenly and sometimes selling for good money.

Heritage did sell one in 2010 for Godfather at $286.00.

We've sold four:

probably because I'm not interested in the title is why I've never noticed it

any cards from this era would be pretty scarce and I've love to find out if they exist for the Big Sleep or Farewell My Lovely with Mitchum or the Long Goodbye which I have never seen

Looks a bit too "new" to me.

Is anyone bidding on a Marilyn Monroe poster at the moment?

Is anyone bidding on a Marilyn Monroe poster at the moment?

I bet you'll get no responses until everyone has had a chance to scramble to eBay to check for underpriced Marilyn posters

[Mirosae]

I wasn't going to, but now I wonder if I should....hehehe any suggestions where to look for that poster Paul? Come on, you know you want to share it... come on .. say cheese...

[paul waines]

Harry has the opposite end of the stick this time..

Someone is about to over pay for an item that it isn't...

It's always difficult when you know a seller, who is usually a good fellow.

All I'm saying is ...Just be very careful, do your homework if your bidding on a MM poster at the moment.
