Well I do not buy posters because they are popular (have the correct re-sale audience) or have the correct size.
I just buy what I like.

And true the 1976 king kong I wouldn't buy either, not even for 50 bucks because IMO it's poor artwork.
But I do not dare to speak for others, will be other opinions and likings out there.

Problem is that to many people are into "collecting anything " to gain some (easy) money , and that's a pity.

As for the:I count already one .
So I guess I can no proudly wear my " my momma says I'm special" t-shirt.   ;D
Maybe I should start a poll on this.  8)
Would you pay 100$ for this mint VK 24 sheet?
Yes or no.



poor artwork?? Wow.. The poster art by Steve Berkey is maybe the best thing about the movie. The art on all the posters is excellent work, by a top-notch illustrator

would I pay $100 for the Knievel?

No chance. I doubt many on this list would and as I said, you need to find a "special buyer" if one exists.
Someone who is buying it for a museum or exhibit. Seeing as the only Evel Knievel Museum to exist is nothing more than a room inside an office on the east side of town here in Vegas, where he has maybe his biggest connections... well, I think that exhibits what little regard there is for him today.

No trying to dog your poster, but there is a reality about this material.
Not all posters are special by any measure and lots of things I think are or should be sell for less than $20 every day in this hobby.
You're looking for a one-in-a-million buyer.

It's cool, but cool isn't the criteria for money in this hobby very often

I'd pay $100 for the poster, I'm sure a lot here would, and I'd pay $200 for Rich's Kong, as it's more my thing...
It's more than a Hobby...

As said hard to argue on taste, I find that the KK 79 looks like a bad "photoshopped" picture.
KK seems to float on top of the two buildings , planes and helicopter hang randomly in the air... but that's probably I'm fixed in that direction of view and very time those "faults" seems to pop out.
Except from the really old stuff my favorite KK poster is the Italian RKO one with the scared,running natives.

So if I count correctly this forum has already 3 special , one in a million persons . thumbsup.gif

If I found this in my shed id list it for sale for $200. If I saw it at auction I wouldn't bid. But I have no interest I'm the film and I don't like large posters. Even one sheets piss me off hahaha. 
I reckon it's one if those things if you wait and find that one person you would do ok from it. But be patient.

Good luck! I think you've priced it at a reasonable "market testing" starting point...

No it did sell. (250$ shipping included)
Somebody missed the auction by a minute and contacted me afterwards .
It's going to a Harley Davidson dealer in the USA.
According his website they also have a small HD museum , so not sure if it will go on display there?
