I offered £500,000 for the Bride poster and he turned me down...

Ooops sorry I meant £50.00. The pic on the posters from Son of Frankenstein anyway. A 62 re-release, I have one for sale at £100,000 if anyone is interested.

This is one that I will never understand. I know it's rare and all, but for all of you who actually display posters, would you honestly put this monstrosity up on the wall? Would you?

That Star Wars Birthday Cake poster is insanely great. All in the eye of the beholder, Mr. "I Own A Polish Coming To America" poster

It's funny you say that because I actually have that poster hanging. I'm looking at it right now! I didn't pay near that much, though; more like $300 about 10 years ago.

A lot of the popularity of that poster (and hence the value) comes from the cross-over appeal to Star Wars toy collectors. I spent many years collecting toys, so that poster was a natural for me.

More power to you. To each his own.

As Im NOT a Star Wars fan I wouldnt hang the cake but I hang up quite a few posters cats in here would refer to as monstrosities every few weeks when I rotate posters.

This poster is blowing my mind right now, I love it. It's just a bit over my price range on it though...if it were $13.5k, then I would be in business.

They have a few nice items, the Mind Reader half sheet and Back To Nature are great as well.

This is hilarious...what could they be hiding? Hmmm...

Maybe they are the kind of folks who don't like subtitles in movies...just want to stare at the pretty pictures.

Really? $525? For stills that could have been re-printed any subsequent years? I'm baffled.

He shot a bunch of magazine work in his early days:

Thierry, if you know stills and understand the paper etc, you know what originals are and what re-issues are and what restrikes are as well. Anyone can tell what a dupe is with just a little knowledge.

I have no doubt that the still Bruce sold are from the 1950s, but because the title is "Stanley Kubricks...." I doubt they are from the original release. They could even be as late as early 60s, but no later than that

also, seeing as Kubrick most likely did the photography, these stills are valued more for that reason than any other

Exactly (about the toys I mean).

I wrote to this seller and asked about why the poster was covered by so much of the matte. Here was her reply to me:

yes i am very sorry about that it would of been a lot better if i would of taken the photo out of the frame, but if you like i can send you a picture with it out so you can check out the whole thing.
thanks for your interest

sara

i asked her to email me a pic of the poster out of the frame.. will see if she follows thru.

A Lucky Strike Pulp Fiction has been up for auction for a couple of weeks on Ebay. The poster appears legit but the "hidden reserve" is bogus. Might still be worth a shot if you're willing to play the seller's reserve game. I paid $750 for mine and it's auctioned for $1500+ on the independent auction sites.
