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

One other is this 1927 Hungarian broadside for Metropolis. The estimate is $10-15,000.00

This piece also did not sell yesterday.  

But Saruman's staff... the top of which can be seen in the lower right of the photo, did!  

[erik1925]

A BIN of $5867 USD and change.... with a good number of tape residue stains along the border, all the way around.

I'm guessing its an Oriental/Persian rug of some kind.

It kind of fits the mood of the artwork as well

Nice photos Jeff - some great posters on display for the auction.

The Mark of the Vampire looks restored to me (almost overly so) - did you get this impression up close?

Tho, when compared to the color PB image of the OS, Borland has that same similar, more 2 dimensional look there, too:

I could not believe the prices on the sword and staff.

for 1920s-30s films, what the pressbook shows is almost always not the same. Frequently, the entire poster page on some pressbooks of the era are clearly - as is the case with the MOTV posters, completely redrawn, which makes them a poor candidate for comparison

Indeed.

I was offering the PB image as some kind of comparison, since no other MARK OS has surfaced to compare it to.

More Portal Publications madness.. I sent this seller a message asking for the dimensions, as they werent originally included... it a 20 x 28 poster with the top and bottom borders trimmed off. I then wrote back and told him/her what this most likely was. The response: "I will check that out."

I see they added the dimensions but no mention of it being an undersized repro.. and it's still listed in the ORIG section with an 800.00 price tag, and incorrectly ID'd as for a film from 1930-- this movie came out in 1935.

On the flip side of Portal is this one for Frankenstein. Nice graphics and imagery.

The seller is offering it for a BIN of $299.00 (OBO). Is this price in the realm for this particular Portal? Or do they go for much less?

It does have nice artwork but I sure as hell would never pay that much for one

Welcome Pokerplayr No e, enjoy...


Jeff that Frankey Portal would be in the £20 range over here...

[erik1925]

It's a little pricey- it's a Realart 1948 RR -- but, to me, this is one cool looking insert.. and since I dont know anyone I could PM to tell privately, who might want it, I present it here. Truly, from one Uni horror lover to another.  

I'd love to see someone here on APF grab this (or else this would have been posted in the "latest snags" for Nov.  )

Starting Bid: $1995.00
