A pic does not do justice to the Bill Wiggins artwork, it really needs to be seen in the flesh.

I would do Terrible things to get one....

I hate to say this Stew, but Richard Has that up for a very VERY cheap price. I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet....

I've seen this poster go for £15-20,000. One or even the most desirable Quads out there

I would agree that it is fairly priced for a dealer sale, but I wouldn't call it 'very cheap.'

Christies Sales
2009 - £9,375
2008 - £11,250
2001 - £7,638
1999 - £6,900

It is an awesome poster, though, and I too would love to own one some day.

The last one sold for £15,000+ and Buyers premium to add, and as a Hammer Quad collector
I do think Richard has that priced to sell, as he usually is over the top price-wise. I spoke to him recently
and he told me He bought out a Horror/Hammer collectors collection, so I think it's from his
own collection, as he said he had an absolute mint copy.

It's one of the ultimate Quads. Not as nice, but up there with it is Curse of Frankenstein
Which should go for more, but that Bill Wiggins art is Fantastic in real life, it really needs to
be seen in the flesh....

Very Cheap is what it is.

Why?

What is a decent price for a rolled Jaws one sheet these days? It's close to being my favourite film of all time, and I'd like a poster for it one day...looks like I'd better start saving the £$£$...

And he'll charge a flat fee of £100.00 for personal delivery as well!
Think that's taking the water no matter how good a deal it is.

Just noticed (by the PROGRAMA AJURIA snipe) this incomplete six sheet was used in a theater in Argentina. The street in the address (Lavalle) is a street in Buenos Aires that was called "The street of cinema" because a lot of theaters and most of the distribution companies had their offices there...
Bruce, is the consignor from down here? I wonder how much this poster has traveled since 1929...

That is a beautiful poster part...

Nope, actually, he is from the northwest U.S.!

Kudos to Bruce for a good auction lineup this week, I love Italian posters, I wish EMovie had these more often, I get so sick of the US one sheets and lobbies! He just needs to work on getting some more Marisa Mell stuff, tired of paying retail off ebay from Italy all the time!

Bruce · « **Reply #1843 on:** January 04, 2012, 08:28:42 AM »

I love French and Italian posters too! But I can only auction what I have been consigned. so that will determine how often (and how many) of these cool posters we get!

Agree, Italian paper is amongst my favorite as well.

This is one purchased from Bruce and Co. that I posted 'round here some time ago, couple years back, I think. Haven't seen one since, and I think its a beauty (IMO of course), and represents the time period well with the actors displayed and art style. Going up on the wall at some point.

brude · « **Reply #1845 on:** January 04, 2012, 01:23:05 PM »

Very nice, reminds me of - or vice-versa - David Klein's TWA poster:

wonka · « **Reply #1847 on:** January 04, 2012, 02:14:59 PM »

Good eye Mel, I thought the same when I bought it.

Both pieces are quintessential 60s in their similarities and in their own right, which I would say is a good thing for sure.

Zorba · « **Reply #1848 on:** January 04, 2012, 06:56:48 PM »

Ben, I loved the poster then but I think I love it even more now.

eatbrie · « **Reply #1849 on:** January 04, 2012, 09:18:49 PM »

It's a beautiful poster for sure, but man, do I hate that Italian crappy paper. Since I'm against linenbacking (personal choice), it would be a tough one to display (but then again, I don't display posters

).
