Might have been one of the auction houses that has offered it in the past, maybe. Bonhams here in LA did that with all the posters that were part of the exhibit last spring. Some were peeling off the walls.

Unreal, to be honest.

Dunno, tho.

I could see that but surely after the sale the buyer or auctioneer would simply peel it off? That tape has clearly been on there a very long time!

True enough. It's not the best look. And would be easy to get rid of.

Some would have you think so, i guess, Mike.

Hell, I'll sell a copy for half the final price to the underbidder. He'll be getting a steal!

Saw that too and thought I was missing something. 88 bids?

pratschm · « **Reply #6783 on:** June 07, 2015, 02:41:23 PM »

Only thing I can think of that we're missing is lots of extra money to superfluously spend on that poster.

Can't you guys read?

These can be very difficult to find in any condition! A long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale. You will have trouble finding a nicer one.

Seriously!!!

$1 auctions do not achieve the best prices for 90+% of what is sold.
not sure why that is a mystery

Harry Caul · « **Reply #6789 on:** June 08, 2015, 03:32:13 PM »

They do offer the quickest sales though!

they offer whatever closeout price someone is willing to pay at this very moment.
While they were a reasonable asset previously (meaning auctions) they have become such a "race to the bottom" that it has a serious negative effect on the overall strength of the hobby. This works in comics & other paper hobbies also. People think comics sell for price guide values, but they don't. 90% or more of the comic hobby everyone knows (if they are knowledgeable) sells for 30-80% off guide value and I'm talking pre-1975 material. Post 1975 can be as much as 99% off guide value for the vast majority of material.

Anyone know if Ken got his piles of paper back the government took?

It does make one wonder, especially when a little ditty like the above poster*, is still in his possession and available for sale.

* and that is one I

I'm pretty sure anything that was carted away, was carted away.
By edict, it would need to be sold & monies distributed. If more money was produced than necessary to fulfill any judgement, overages minus administrative costs would be distributed back to Ken.
pretty sure that's how it works.

Too good to be true at such a low price.
