What did that sell for then?
From memory, it sold for about 600 pounds which converted to close to AUD1800.00 bucks at the time. I actually consigned it. The result was a bit disappointing but I dont think people realised how rare it was. I was at that auction and also the incredible James Bond auction that they had a few days before. The main room for the Bond auction was packed out and they had two other rooms with TV cameras of the actual auction and they were full too.
That month was a big one for movie poster collectors and dealers. There was also a Sotheby's auction and Ed Mason had one of his conventions with many of the big poster dealers attending. I have a feeling that around that time, Greg Edwards might have closed his shop in London and he had a bit of fire sale/package deals on lots of items. It was all a lot of fun.
