Liking the Art Deco 'The Sting' poster.

I've been bidding on my first emovieposter auction (only registered with them and HA a week or so ago!) and nooo luck at all. Was going for the most screwed up and trimmed poster I've ever seen. Even went over me budget, thinking it can't go for much more, but have still been out bid

Onwards and upwards

So will you be bidding Mel? I need to know who my competition is...

No, but there are a few big-bucks collectors on this board who might want it for that relatively low price. I think it's a big mistake to sell high value posters like that on Ebay in a random weekly auction. Better to consign them to a major/signature auction.

Time to break out the popcorn... should be a good show.

Any predictions for the final $$$?

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #454 on:** January 13, 2011, 12:57:50 PM »

$6,800. A dealer will pick it up, fix it up, and make a ton on resale.

She should have consigned this baby.

Harry Caul · « **Reply #455 on:** January 13, 2011, 01:06:23 PM »

I think well north of $10k... probably teens.

Might go all in on this one...everyone, stay away.

The Sting poster is no longer for sale - presumably the seller agreed a private sale - I'm certain he would have got more if he had let the auction run.

Didn't someone on NSFGE recently acquire one of those STING posters?
I seem to remember seeing a post about it and it's scarcity...

That Gilda poster is fantastic... will be watching the auction with interest!

brude · « **Reply #461 on:** January 17, 2011, 02:12:34 PM »

GILDA: $2,136 and counting. 6 bidders; 2 days left...

Ante up fellas...

I need to get more popcorn

I was also wondering on the etiquette when mentioning a poster in a current auction? I'm really chilled about the whole thing if other people are going for it, just interested to know a bit more about the poster (if anyone knows!). Is there an etiquette?

You missed the big fight about that a while back. Some people wanted no references to pending auctions. In the end the head honchos decided not to restrict it. I think most people (including me) only discuss pending auctions involving high price posters.

Cheers Mel. just trying work out how not to piss people off! I usually just chunter away on the other forums I'm on but thought it'd be worth checking here

I think it's probably quite a high value poster, so out of my budget, hence my interest in getting a bit more info. The auction's going to be ending in the next couple of days so I'll soon see. Might ask a few questions once it's finished.

brude · « **Reply #468 on:** January 17, 2011, 07:32:48 PM »

You think it'll top 10Gs with the restoration it needs?
Bruce's copy was VG-FN and LB'd for 25G.
I guess we shall see in 2 days, eh?

restoration isn't going to be so tough. it looks like a clean rip..
if it costs more than $500 to lb & fix I'd be surprised

Bruce's was special so to speak was it not - due to the fold lines being very faint and there being no paper loss in the usual paper loss areas?

I believe you are correct, Chris.

And is sure as shit not like this one would fall through the cracks and get sold for $20 if it wasn't talked about amongst us on the forum!

agentprovocateur · « **Reply #473 on:** January 18, 2011, 03:11:34 AM »

This is the one that caught my eye, Italian 1p... love it, amazing art.

agentprovocateur · « **Reply #474 on:** January 18, 2011, 03:25:22 AM »

And I did a bit of digging in auction archives and found a few old prices for it, not super high value but still a couple of $$.
