Title: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Dread_Pirate_Mel on January 06, 2010, 08:34:51 PM
So how about a thread to discuss unusual, unexpected, and/or outrageous auction results AFTER they are over?

IMHO no one should discuss a PENDING auction - the spoils should go to those who take the time to find the good auction deals!

So let's start with one that just ended a few minutes ago on movieposterbid.com

Ferris Bueller International one sheet for $1,112 - WTF!

Huh? Someone want to explain that?

This ET went for $311 on movieposterbid.com. I guess the torn corner really knocked down the price:

I snagged this torn Pulp Fiction for $91 tonight on movieposterbid - I don't mind discrete repairable tears but I really do mind missing paper:

Ever see one of these for sale before?  Anywhere?  I havent.  And, I know people pay very well for the french poster with the same art.  So, a poster with desirable art that folks think they might not see again comes up.  Higher than I would expect, but not way off the charts, IMO.

Well, Cinemasterpieces sells the Thierry hates "French Grande" with the same image for $395 (http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/cine_F.htm) - and you can probably find it for less elsewhere - and all other things being equal I'd prefer the larger size in that poster.

Yeah, I agree on the larger size, but all things arent quite equal in this case.  First off, the int' one sheet is a country of origin piece, which is in most cases going to command a premium.  This is even more pronounced when that particular piece has hands down the best art in the campaign (even if that art is repeated elsewhere).  Also, that larger size is far more difficult and expensive to frame.  Finally, there are those that do not want to display a folded poster.  To have the french one backed to appear flat would cost a pretty penny........

just some thoughts.

I don't mind the folds in this particular Frenchie because they don't look too bad on the the most important image (the cast in the Ferrari).

As far as framing, I broke down and ordered a 120cmx160cm (about 47"x63") flip frame for $165 from Spotlight Displays.  Now I'll be able to display all my Frenchies without resorting to the plebian "tape it to the wall" method I've been employing. (Also ordered a 28"x42" flip frame for some of the odd size posters I've managed to accrue, including some printer's proofs.)

Let me know how that French snap frame works out. I was just wondering if the piece of plexi was so big that it might bow out away from the poster since the sheets are thin.

I was equally shocked at the Ferris poster as I had no idea it was actually "that" rare
what makes it more surprising to me is that there were multiple bidders at hundreds of dollars.

Of course at the same time I'm thrilled to death.. because.......

it shows that MoviePosterBid has passed "critical mass". the point at which auctions run smoothly and beneficial to the site by getting bids like any other site (like Bruce or Heritage). In other words, "MoviePosterBid has just made the bigtime!"

the ET poster did surprise me at it's super-bargain price. But as Kovacs said, the missing corner was a definite factor. However to anyone who looked - you can see that the image area is complete and that not even a tiny bit of the art is miccing which makes linenbacking it a perfect solution to restoring the piece's beauty. It can also be framed with a mat cropping out the border, and seeing as the image field is gorgeous, no one would be the wiser.

the PF advance will also restore nicely. and can someone tell me why this reply box jiggles and doesn't show the bottom  when I type??? I'd say this also needs some restoration (ps.. add posting options like HTML. I have trouble with my FA posts links)

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on January 07, 2010, 03:11:56 PM
oh. something I wanted to point out also.. It sold for $1112, but like all of my auctions it started at just 99 cents and sold with no reserve.. If it had sold for $10 (something that is always a possibility) I would have been happy (as opposed to totally thrilled like I am)..

As far as "restoring" that torn PF advance I snagged, my $6.99 acid free tape from Michael's will do the trick!

This Pulp Fiction went for $61 on Ebay - y'all missed out, assuming it's legit.  I would have bid but I already have one.

Update: I think these PF prices are definitely trending downwards - Heritage has an NM as a Buy It Now for $75 (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Inventory_No=334857013).

On this poster, and many others like it, there are many people who would rather buy it from someone they 100% trust (like me or Dale Dilts, or several others) for twice as much than buy it for a lower price from someone they will have their doubts about.

When you get stuck with a repro, you have to contact the person, and they may deny it, and even if they agree to take it back, you still need to pack it and send it (not so easy for casual collectors) and they may not want to pay shipping (one way or both ways), so you may still lose some even if they do take it back.

Post by: Dread_Pirate_Mel on January 09, 2010, 06:53:27 PM
Someone needs to do an authentication of the regular Pulp Fiction poster, not just the Lucky Strike version.

I bought mine directly from Rich, so I know it's the real deal.

That's not to say those aren't legit - armandx has 8000+ positive feedback and Heritage I would certainly presume is selling the real deal.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on January 09, 2010, 06:59:13 PM
I'm not talking about reality here, but perception. Most people know of eBay as the "home of the fake movie posters" and so any one on there is always suspect in most people's mind. After all, you can buy all the minty white inserts and hairy belt Star Wars there every day, and no amount of complaining matters one bit to them.

Many dealers have sent all sorts of posters to me and I have sold them for more than they were offering them for in their eBay listings. Sometimes perception is very important.

Well, Bruce, you and I are not going to agree on this.  I've bought 350 posters from 100+ Ebay sellers this year and the vast majority of them showed up as described and were positively originals.  (I've bought 200 from you, Heritage, and Movieposterbid, so I'm definitely agnostic on this subject.)

In fact, the only reprint I received came from a well-known dealer - who posts regularly on these boards - who apologized and gave me a full refund.  (And at this point I've very educated on distinguishing reprints from originals - see the Authentication section.)

You say "sold them for more than they were offering them for in their eBay listings."  But that's the good for the dealers, bad for the buyers like me.

Main problem with Ebay is the terrible packaging by amateurs.  Most of the time they don't understand that USPS will trash their packages and that writing "fragile" on them is a joke.

I think the problem is you are a very atypical buyer! You do your homework and you know how to tell fakes from reals, and you would likely buy from the minty white sellers if you were sure that particular poster was real.

But most collectors don't have the time or dedication to research everything out, so they go on reputation, and that is where "perception" comes in. If one seller sells fakes side by side with reals, and another sellers has a zillion lawsuits going against them, and a third seller has a great reputation as a "fake-free zone", then many buyers will, as fallenangel says (and thanks!) pay more to that seller than to the first two.

As to your comments on terrible eBay packing, I am a major collector of travel posters, and in the past 60 days I bought over 250 of them from eBay sellers that arrived in the most motley collection of tubes possible. That is going to be my topic for next week!

Well, I wouldn't say I have a "problem" and I do "get it."

Any reasonable intelligent collector can distinguish a reprint/fake.  You can follow the authentication tests to weed out the tough ones, like the PF Lucky Strike advance.

Furthermore, the vast majority of modern posters today are double-sided and there are very few double-sided reprints floating around, so the reprint issue is largely mooted for most modern posters.

Anyway, there are a lot of anti-Ebay and anti-Heritage people on this board and I'm going to change that, but I don't think that's particularly rational.  Ebay has a proper place in the universe.

Alas, I missed the "not" in my brilliant exposition on the relative merits of the various and sundry auction sites.

But anyway, we're all a bunch of stubborn mules on this board - we argue a lot and never change anybody else's opinion but it keeps us entertained....

I consider myself reasonably intelligent, but I do not have the time that you obviously have an abundance of .. If I find a poster on ebay with one a two decent pictures... It would be a guess if its a potential fake or not (unless its something obvious like 24x36 DS original) .. I dont want to have to go find pictures of real ones and compare them .. or go to an authentication page and look for the tell-tale signs then email a seller that could potentially lie asking for more info and/or more pictures .. That is a lot of effort spent when I can pay someone like Rich or Bruce to do the work for me .. :D Im sure they are happy to take my money and offer their guarantee that what they offer is real and if not they will make it right no questions asked.

As for no DS fakes .. it depends on where you looking .. I think Moviegoods would be a strong argument against that statement.. But again I dont have the time that you do to do all of the research .. So again Ill pay people that do this for a living to ensure Im getting what I want. and not have to scour google pages or be zooming in on hundreds of pics in photo shop .. just to find otu the ebay seller used a stock photo then I have to argue with them about it not being real when they say it is 100% real .. then I have to deal with paypal and getting that done in time and waiting the week then 10 days to hopefully get my money back and then only after I pay to ship the item back to the seller ..

Sounds like a lot of trouble to me .. And Im glad to help people like Bruce and Rich become millionaires ! ;)

Not surprised about the Ferris poster.
More collectors from that era on board,it was getting good results years ago,it's the best poster, not a ton around.
Although there probally will be now.

For you it comes down to trust, clearly.  However, I suspect that Mel gets equal enjoyment from "finding a bargain" as he does from owning a poster.  It all comes down to one's individual preferences and why they are in the hobby.  No need to knock someone because their reasons don't match yours.

I myself am probably more similar to Mel in some ways... More than a few times I've bought a poster (that I don't really care about) simply because I got it for a song.  And even those posters that I do want REALLY badly, I still won't pay top dollar simply for the privilege of owning them. I prefer to be patient and wait around the deal which will certainly come someday...

Thrill of the hunt baby!

I agree, Harry. I collect travel posters, and I just got two of them on eBay that retail for around $300 each, and I paid $6.50 for both!

Now of course both are all tattered around the edges, and would cost $200, $300, or more each to linenback to where they look good, but that's not the point.

I GOT A STEAL!

Nah, I just spend a few minutes searching, and if I find something great, and if not, so be it. I USED to love searching on eBay until they "improved" the site to where I can't find anything, and there's not much there anyway!

Hey Bruce, I love collecting advertising posters, including travel posters such as early TWA and Air France. You probably don't have available, but it would be great to see, your collection (or part of it) if you have it online  ;D You must have quite an impressive collection! What else do you mostly collect?

I have heard, maybe on this board, and agree, advertising posters tend to stay up on the walls longer than movie posters. Even though I have much more movie posters, I probably deep down prefer the advertising posters mainly because of the (typically) stone litho / bold colors look. I have mentioned previously I rarely watch movies or collect movie posters for any other reason but the art, so this maybe a factor.

Sounds like eBay can't be that bad a place as collecting 250 travel posters (which are much less numerous than movie posters) in a short space of time would indicate to me eBay is still a great source of posters, especially if each were obtained with just a few minutes searching! But, please, leave some there for the rest of us  ;)

Cameo Auctions sold a Ferris Bueller UK bus shelter (http://www.cameo-auctioneers.co.uk/2010-01-14/?1) for 380 pounds/$619 today (plus 15% buyer's fee I think). They don't list the final price on their site but I was watching the live auction.

Yeah it does. But whoever gets it - and I'd be surprised if it sells for big $$$ - should buy the 15th anniversary Lucasfilm restrike (same image and size and cheap to buy) and lay the original on top of the restrike in a frame.  That way you've got a displayable poster that is 80% original and you have an interesting story to tell to boot....

Given the poor condition of that Ferris Bueller poster that just sold at Cameo - and the unattractive snipe (if that is what it is) on the top - and John's quick sale of his folded poster - Rich's poster is beginning to look like a bargain buy.

Crazy!! I'm sorry, but there is not a movie that has been made that stars Matthew Broderick that will ever be a 1000.00 poster. There has to be 4 people that are clubbing each other to death over this poster. I was a Ferris fan as well at 14, but come on, Hughes other films hold up way better than this one and can be had at 40.00 all day long.

What is going on here definitely isnt an unknown phenomenon.  Just because they havent sold much in the past 10 years doesnt mean they are rare.  It just means they are rarely seen on the market.  As soon as people realize just what they can get for them, all of the sudden putting on the market seems like a very good idea.  I am sure several more will surface over the next few months before they peter out again.

And that difference too often goes unspoken. When I advertise rare I am often referring to availability not total number of known copies on earth, eg, the availability of a Twilight B1 in relation to a US one sheet can't be compared. It's another thread but defining "rare", like "value", is a subject most love to debate. And, exactly right on one high return resulting in others putting theirs on the market. Happens often.

Uk International one sheets (I assume that is what the Ferris Bueller poster is - there are no indicative markings) from say the 1970's were I believe printed in smaller numbers than their quad counterparts and are potentially rarer for that reason alone. When that rarity is combined with demand for a popular title and different or superior artwork - FB is just one example - at the top of my head I can think of The Deerhunter, American Werewolf in London, Harold & Maude, The Long Good Friday as other examples - market forces will dictate higher prices.  Staying on topic I won (amongst others) a UK International one sheet for Mad Max - with alternative artwork - in yesterday's Cameo auction. I was the only bidder at the reserve of £100 ($162) and I consider that a bargain - a consequence of the low-profile nature of the auction rather than negligible market demand.

I think Dave Lieberman has a quote that fits here...........say it with me everyone:

"A long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale"


How does a Lieberman quote fit, exactly? Thanks

In other words, tell me your personal view of the factual-conflict or error in calling a poster of minimal availability "rare". What guidelines or hobby standard define your views of rare; and how "a long time passing" relates to anything in my previous post. Preciate it.

Mark: I absolutely agree that UK one sheets are harder to find/rarer/scarcer (delete as appropriate) than quads. Often they have different artwork too; my Explorers one sheet and the one sheet for The Thing are two examples.

I didnt see it as a difficult concept, but I think your dislike for Dave has clouded your vision on this one.  He says that in every one of his auctions.  The literal meaning of what he says is another way of saying the poster is rarely available and not "rare". 

My personal view on the term "rare" is that it can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, but should mean nothing to a buyer.  If you are buying a poster simply because someone has said it is rare or because you think it is rare, then chances are you are going to be disappointed.  The only dictatorial aspects rareness brings to a buyer is how long that buyer will likely have to look for a poster and how much he will pay when he finds it.

I see. On De Niro's forum many are fresh off google of course. I once had a collector tell me re: James Giant Peach B2 I should sell it "cheaper" because of all the "chinese writing on it". When posting FS there I always tried to be clear about the rarity of Intl material in relation to US material of same title, in particular when a B1 like Twilight featured the same US art. "Rare", i.e., not just another of the hundreds of US copies.

I don't mind Dave so much, he's the Justin Timberlake of dealers. He's bringing sexy back to collecting. Thanks for your view above.

georget271  (http://myworld.ebay.com/georget271/)sold several Star Wars posters today on Ebay and drew a lot of bids.  (I checked them out and asked questions and they were all originals to the best of my knowledge.) I bid $250 for a Star Wars C but it went for $300.  The Star Wars A (mislabeled by the seller) and Empire Strikes Back "Gone With Wind" and Vader helmet went for around $100.  The ROTJ light saber went for $27.  Not big news but generally shows the typical prices for those posters nowadays on Ebay if you're in the market for them.  (And if anybody wants to sell a Star Wars C for $250ish let me know - I'm in the market.)

The stone-litho reproductions of some famous horror movie posters went for big bucks tonight on Emovie.  "This company (S2 Art Group) bought 100 year-old lithograph presses, and completely refurbished them, and recreated stone litho printing plates for classic movie posters, and then printed them on the 100 year-old presses, in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed."

A quick Google search led to Barewalls.com, which sells these posters for $350 (http://artwork.barewalls.com/artwork/Dracula.html?productid=119236), if anybody is interested.

I like this thread a lot and I've pinned it.  There's enough auctions out there that it should keep going quite nicely.

Someone was after a Charlie Chan festival poster tonight that went for almost $200.  Way out of my league for an ad poster like that, though I could see a Chan fan going for it in that it's from the 50's.

I thought it was a bit insane to pay the money those folks did for reproductions.  I actually imagined bidding on them and I hear Thierry wispering in my mind's ear "WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?!"

To me, the big news is the insert for Metropolis that Heritage is putting up in its March signature auction. Frankly, I'd trade my entire collection -- really ... right now - for that single insert.  Betcha that one hits $350,000.

Are there bidders that you wish you knew who was behind the username so that you could track them down and hurt them?

I think this is a fantastic poster as well.  I cannot understand why it is not really getting any build up prior to the auction?

Due to this fact, I don't see it coming anywhere near $350,000, Holiday.  I could see $100,000 maybe...Heritage seems much more enamoured with the Swedish King Kong (is it a re-release - I thought that art was used for the 1949 release?) they have - which is also very, very nice.

Like I said, I agree with you Holiday that it SHOULD be a poster that is valued in the top percentile of posters...

Maybe Heritage will ramp up the marketing in the next month or so?  Although, as Ves said, it's quite possible that since it would fall into a niche market of collectors, those who can and will bid on it already know about it and that is all that's needed.

The Metropolis insert will probably end up in the $75k-125k range. It is different than the other paper. The King Kong is 1938 and Morrie Everett sold one in one of his auctions at Cinevent for $6-8k maybe 4 years ago

I have done some more digging.  And it looks like the original release 3 sheet DID use that art - so the Swedish is probably just fine.

I think the 1949 release (or thereabouts) daybill uses that art as well which explains my confusion:

Holiday, thanks for pinning this thread but should we be discussing PENDING timed auctions?  That's why I titled it "POST-AUCTION." Everybody is looking for a good deal and "to the finder should go the spoils" - half the fun of this hobby is finding stellar deals.  Discussing pending auctions "let's the cat out of the bag" and can dramatically increase the final price.  

I would suggest that is OK to discuss pending "high profile" auctions like the Heritage Metropolis auction but lower-profile auction discussions should be delayed until the conclusion of the auction. If you don't want the poster yourself, you should PM those who might be interested, rather than publicly announcing it.  Of course, that principle should not apply to sellers, who can promote their auctions as they desire.

Again, that's just my opinion.  Anybody agree or disagree?

oh, i dont think the good deal is to be found on heritage or bruce's site.  Actually, there are great deals to be found, but it isnt because no one knows they are there.  I would say that posting a poster that is likely to go north of 10k shouldnt be a foul.  Anyone looking to buy one of those probably cares little about what kind of deal they will get.

I agree that it's unlikely a poster at Heritage or Emovie is going to escape notice.  So I'd say if it's near $1,000 on those sites and several active bidders then it's fair game for discussion.  If that's the limit, check out this amazing evil/cool Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil" up for bid this week at Heritage (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=510014&Lot_No=54395).  It blasted from $150 to $1000 earlier this week:

Mel, out of curiosity, why do you always link to Heritage auctions when comparing or even simply conveying value?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on January 24, 2010, 11:28:30 PM
Wonka brings up a good point. I can confirm that 100% of the results in our database since 2002 reflect the exact price paid for that item, IN CASH. No sales that "fell through" and were re-auctioned, no "trades", etc. I guarantee you every other database has LOTS of sales that never happened, or were the result of the auction house "buying" the item from themselves.

So take all those other "results" with a BIG grain of salt. Just because someone else supposedly paid, say, $1,100 for something doesn't mean you necessarily got a great deal when you later buy it for $500, because that $1,100 "sale" may never have happened. We all regularly watch the same items coming back again and again to some places, seemingly "selling" each time, and THEIR results databases show ALL those results as "sales".

You might say, how can I be so certain eMoviePoster.com's results are exactly accurate. Because we only add them when we pay the consignors for those items, 30 to 59 days later. If we don't get paid IN FULL in that time, the sale is not included. If we get paid later, we add it then. And if we never get paid (which only happens 1% of the time), we re-auction the item and only that real second result is included when IT is paid for.

And we know the same is true of no other auction house. So please don't point to their results as an indication of what an item is "worth", because while it MAY be an accurate result, it also may be pure fantasy, and there is no way to tell the difference.

Bruce

Isn't the 77/21-0 the first printing?  [ur=http://www.learnaboutmovieposters.com/posters/db/poster.asp?pid=1900l]LAMP says it is[/url].

Here we go with the Heritage bashing again. Although I rarely buy anything from Heritage, it does have the best designed website and it's easier to find past prices there - and you can download full pics of the posters actually sold (you can only see small versions of past sales on Emovie and none on MBid).  They also seem to get more "high profile" auctions than the other sites.  I know a lot of people here don't like Heritage and claim their "buyer's premium" distorts or inflate prices.  I don't like the BP either but Christie's & Sotheby's do it too and it's very debatable whether they raise the ultimate sale price since any competent buyer will factor the premium into his/her bidding.

As far as the "shill bidding" allegations against Heritage, the jury is still out on that, notwithstanding all the hype.  I'm a defense lawyer and I deal with a lot of plaintiffs making a lot of bogus allegations - and 95% of them lose.

Thank you for your perspective on this one, Bruce...it was an angle that I did not even anticipate, yet do agree with in terms of the sales actually being a reality or not.

Mel, this really has nothing to do about Heritage bashing and it has even less to do with your profession that you allude to in a fair percentage of your posts.  It has more to do with the issues Bruce raises, but on a more general level, how value is affixed to posters.  Heritage is not poster value gospel.  Neither is eMovie.  Neither is Dave.  Neither is Egbert.  And on down the line.  

Values obviously fluctuate over time (some more than others), but there are so many variables to take into consideration when applying any value to any poster.  A particular item might be auctioned at the right time at the right venue and be seen by the right buyers to throw said item into the stratosphere in terms of final price realized (Ferris), but if one of those variables did not work out when the auction might not have brought that price.

Posters are not like selling cars, where people can point to a Kelley's Blue Book or the dealership sticker for an industry and economically accepted value.  You can't buy a new Honda Civic for $3,000, but the endless variables in our hobby allow for a buyer to purchase an original Breakfast at Tiffany's one sheet for $300 (Harry?).  Amazing, and one reason I really enjoy this hobby...you would not believe the steals I have in my collection that I picked up for peanuts compared to what Heritage, etc...says it is "worth".

Regardless, I do think you dig well and are resourceful with your thoughtful research, but the allegiance to Heritage values (or any ONE/SINGULAR source) is completely folly and misleading to be honest.

A tip on using emovieposter site... the images in the Poster Image Archive may look small, but I have noticed nearly all of them are in fact larger than they appear as they are scaled down on the fly when you load the page. Most can be seen larger at 150% to 400% or more by saving the image and opening it to view it... or simply if using FireFox , right click and select View Image

A question/suggestion for Bruce, not sure why the image archive is seperate to the results archive. A photo icon next to those posters in the results archive which have a photo would surely remove the need for the image archive altogether. Sounds like there maybe something structurally wrong with the information architecture (2 seperate databases used instead of one?) or maybe just some time needed for programming to combine them properly? It would be handy to have all poster info and images in the one search :-)

50s

A few months ago I went to great expense to hire a full-time programmer to fix the two significant "weak areas" in my website.

The first, and more important in my opinion, is that we lack an integrated "check-out" system, one that allows you to see everything you have purchased from us, and what you have not paid for, and which allows you to pay online, but ONLY IF YOU CHOOSE TO.

There are pre-packaged check-out systems we could have purchased, but they are fairly rigid, and you need to rely on their tech support. Once our in-house system is completed, we will have the ability to fix it ourselves, but more important, to keep making quick changes and improvements, as we see new features helpful to our customers.

We are getting closer and closer to implementing the new check-out (which lets you pay every way you used to, but adds good online capability to all of it, for those who want it), but we are still around a month away.

The moment the check-out system is finished, our programmer goes to work on the second "weak area" in my website, which is integrating the Sales Result Database and the Image Archive. That will likely take months as well, but once it is done, you will have all you want.

Mel

You truly DO miss my point here, and before, when we have had this discussion, and I think it is a reflection of how you are a very honest person and can't conceive of a large organization that is corrupt in major way. It is that same sort of thinking that allowed Bernie Madoff and Enron to continue as long as they did.

As 50s pointed out, in this context, I am merely pointing out that many, many people are misled into paying far higher prices for items that they might have, because they THINK they are buying them for far less than someone else did, when that someone else may never have actually bought that item at all. And when you quote dubious results, you may be helping that process to occur. At the least, when you quote prices from an unreliable source, you should add a disclaimer, like, "assuming this sale went through", or words to that effect.

So just to confirm Bruce, in your opinion, the sales records on Heritage Auctions are unreliable and are not to be trusted? And if they can be proven to be unreliable/false, can't something be done about it?

Spartacus, there are stretches of the truth in nearly everything, especially when money is involved. If there were regulations made down to that detail the world would no doubt grind to a halt (they can stick whatever results they like up unless they are specifically claiming those results are something else - what does it say on their site in the fine print about their historic archive?). As I believe Bruce mentioned, keep an open mind.

As someone else mentioned also, even accurate results are in fact misleading as they are only at the very moment at sale useful only.  Were all bidders there (like was a sports event on at the same time), are the results from when the internet just started (higher results were generally back then), was there lots of advertising done, did an actor just die or is there a remake planned, have reprints (or previously undiscovered originals) just entered the market, what is/was the state of the economy like,...

These price guides are just that, a guide, you need to consider many factors if you want to try to determine what the next sale might go for.

The one thing about the price guides, I believe, is that it helps those sites with the guides as people will use those guide prices as a reference for their bidding. Why else would those companies show it and invest money into showing it, especially if it is a free service. It is a reference point for bidders and for also for consigners. I guess it adds a bit more certainty for the seller/consignor. Manipulating those results or making them misleading is to the advantage of the seller. Unfortunately you are bidding against people who look at these guides and likely bid more that they otherwise would.

The moment the check-out system is finished, our programmer goes to work on the second "weak area" in my website, which is integrating the Sales Result Database and the Image Archive. That will likely take months as well, but once it is done, you will have all you want.

Thanks for the updates Bruce. The new checkout system to view purchases and make payments online sounds great, and integrating the 2 results databases good too. Good luck.

I agree with 50s 100%

listen, all results - including Bruce's - need to be understood in context
otherwise Holiday Affair style-b is a $3383.00 poster because Bruce sold one at that price.
Heritage on the other hand has 2 sales $567 + $1015

whose results are correct??

Bruce will in all likelihood not repeat that result

also, while I agree that "non-sales" should not be in Heritage database files, seeing as I have no access to their internal database to prove or disprove Bruce's claims of false results, all I can put forth is conjecture about said results and to be honest, Bruce or Heritage criticizing each other is alot like Republicans and Democrats. They each have their own perspectives with almost no intersecting truths.

yes, Heritage does seem to have items in the database which seem to have been auctioned 2/3/4 times and which appear to be the same item. In posters it's more difficult to tell than it is in the comics area where CGC encapsulation helps to determine if a copy being sold is the same copy as before (CGC capsules are serial numbered). If Heritage or Bruce or myself or anyone else is involved in "funny business" and such funny stuff can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, I'm all for outing the info.. But without direct access to the relevent information, which neither Bruce nor I have, I "just can't get there". Yes there is some anecdotal evidence, but such anecdotal evidence is what makes people continue to say that Bruce had shill bidding when he was at Christie's but be entirely unable to profer any real proof other than their opinions.

I appreciate that Bruce has criticism of Heritage, but anecdotal evidence isn't solid proof by any stretch of the imagination and all competitors will look for reasons to critique each other. But I believe you need much more solidified proof to criticize any business model than what anyone has available.

That said, if N.P. Gresham really shill bids past the level of any reserve price, it should be noted publicly. Likewise if anyone can prove Russ Cochran shill bid for Bruce back at Christies it should also be noted publicly. Myself, I was at the auction that Russ is accused and I know background info that leads me to deny the allegations against Bruce. Concerning N.P. Gresham, I do not have any real info other than the lawsuit brought by a disgruntled employee and his friend that Heritage has indeed acted in an improper manner. Grey Smith denies it just like Bruce denies shilling, so until any information - such as an adjudication in court - comes to light, I do not believe N.P. Gresham acted inappropriately. At such a time as I have information indicating otherwise - and for certain - I cannot agree with Bruce on that subject. The jury is out

If Heritage has results in the database that are false, yes they should be removed. But I am not an employee of Heritage and I do not make their rules.

Post by: Bruce on January 25, 2010, 08:21:27 PM
I am saying that EVERY auction has results which never happened. They put up the results within days of the end of the auction and then those results stay there whether or not the buyer ever pays, or whether or not the item is returned. In my database, I wait 30 to 59 days to post the results, and then ONLY those that were paid for 100% in cash are poster.

For that matter, how can any auction that gives "buyers" 6 months or a year to pay even remotely consider posting "results" until that much time goes by?

And Rich, forget about "looks like it could be the same item" up two or three times. The defects match exactly, And as to your other doubts, anecdotal evidence CAN be extremely compelling. As I posted on January 9th:

"One of my longtime buyers called me and told me the following story:

     "I have been a buyer in major poster auctions for over 20 years. I have bought some in your online auctions, but not that much, because I am not that comfortable with computers. I have been learning how to do so, and have been bidding with you, and I recently noticed that one of your competitiors has online auctions as well, and I looked at them.
     I found 11 items to bid on, and I gave my secretary 11 bids to place on those items for me. A couple were between the estimates, but most were over the estimates, and I had bid odd amounts (like $235, etc).
     A few days later I got notification that I had won all 11 items, and I told my secretary to pay for them, and she asked me why EVERY item was EXACTLY the price I bid! I looked at the list, and just as she had said, I was the high bidder on every item at EXACTLY my limit.
    Now I could see that happening on a few of the items, or even five or six, BUT ALL ELEVEN? I mean, that is astronomical that it could be caused by chance. It would be like picking the winners of 11 straight horse races! It makes me very sad and angry, but it is easy to figure out what happened."

I told him that many other people had told me very similar stories over the years, and that the best way to deal with this is to either not bid in such auctions, or, if they have items you would like to have at some price, then go ahead and bid, but assume that they will "make" you pay your maximum, so only a bid a price you will be happy to pay.
     Of course, it is very sad that they have to have this charade of an auction, and that there are surely many, many, people who don't "catch on" for years, if ever, but until the government ever steps in and regulates this completely unregulated industry, it is likely to not change one bit.
     Incidentally, I have heard auction owners defend their actions by saying that no one is really hurt by this, because after all, the buyers are getting to buy items for the price they themselves set as the price they were willing to pay, but I don't buy this for one second, because there is gross misrepresentation in "how the game is played" (even if the auctions put in the fine print that they can bid on their own items, that consignors can bid on their own items, that reserves can be over the estimates, etc).

A couple of weeks later, that same longtime buyer called me back and said that once he got over being so mad, he took my advice and simply bid prices he was willing to pay. He said he had just placed three bids, and he bid three VERY odd numbers (like $171.50), and in all three cases, he "won" the items for EXACTLY his limit! But at least now he knows "how the game is played", so he is not as mad, although he said he will likely bid less and less high in the future in those auctions (but he mentioned how he had bid $400 in an eMoviePoster.com auction recently and won the item for $160!)."

Now Rich, you may find the above does not prove anything, and on that we will just have to agree to disagree!

Bruce, I have a friend who also says the same things to me, however I also bid on Heritage and rarely does my winning item wind up at my max. I either seem to save a lot of money, or lose the item. But that's just me.

Now if I had very many people telling me the same things, not as in this case just 2, then I'm going to be questioning the issue.. 2 people is an entirely anecdotal situation.. if I hear it from 30-40-50 people, then I'll be swayed

Rich, you are truly a fair-minded person.  For you to stand up for Heritage unless and until they are proven guilty - even though they are a direct competitor of yours - is really commendable.

The allegations regarding shilling by Heritage Auction using the ID of "Gresham" is unfair and wrongly directed.

I'd thought about this for a bit when it was first brought to the forefront.  First, the accuser who took this to the media was trying to deflect attention away from what he had been doing himself.  But, putting that aside, I considered what the implications were in an auction house bidding on items that it wanted.

I don't believe for a moment that HA shills, shilled or ever shilled. 

But, I can believe that HA would want some items for itself.  I don't begin to presume to know why HA chose to use a moniker to bid, but I have my guess.  I acknowledge that it doesn't look great to a third party to see that HA used a fake name to bid.  But if they wanted to keep it private, why shouldn't they?  The use of a fake moniker does not necessarily indicate that nefarious deeds are going on.  The leap to this presumption, while not without reason, is also not without its own fallacy and weakness as well.

I don't like to have people know what I bid on, and I know for a fact that people have looked at my bid history on eBay.  When I was told by a few people that they watched what I buy, I stopped leaving feedback for sellers because when sellers replied in turn, this was a way in which my winnings were tracked.  I really do not like this.   It's my business and if I want to share it, I will -- which I sometimes do, but at least it's by my choice.

During the two live auctions for Battlestar Galactica props in January and May of last year, the owner of the company contracted by NBCUniversal/SyFy to manage all the auctions, including the auctions on eBay, wanted many of the items for himself.  He didn't do the actual bidding himself at the live auctions and had someone else do it for him.  Now, this stand-in is the human equivalent of the "N.P. Gresham" that Heritage uses.  Was the human stand-in a way for the owner of the contracted company to shill to fetch higher prices?  Not at all.  He was as much a fan of BSG as the rest of us.  How else is he supposed to compete for the items himself if he can't bid on them?   Is he forbidden to bid because he is the owner of the company conducting the auctions for NBCUniversal?  Why should he be deprived of going after the things he wants for himself?  In fact, it's only fair to the rest of us that he is forced to bid like everyone else instead of just getting to snatch up and abscond with the items before they see the light of day at auction.

Sure, his bid is raising the price, but then so is mine and everyone else's who's going after the same thing.  It's why it's an auction.  It's fair practice.

As far as I am concerned, this is what Heritage is doing and they have every right to do so.  While they don't make it front page news, they don't make it a secret either.  The have printed in their catalogs the fact that they will sometimes bid on items themselves.  It's no attempt at shilling and no attempt to deceive.  It is, in fact, only fair that they are forced to bid like the rest of us.

So this unused Elvis 3 sheet sold for $140 on Emovie tonight.

(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Elvis1.jpg)

I consoled myself by buying a cheesy 24x36 print on Ebay for $.99:

(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Elvis2.jpg)

Heritage sold this Goldfinger partial 3 sheet for $89. The upper panel is missing but I think it was a great deal because it looks like a complete poster:

(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Gold.jpg)

And last but not least Heritage sold the extremely evil Rolling Stones poster for $1,075 - the coolest music poster I've ever seen:

You guys aren't the only ones who think it is awesome. In my 1996 One Hundred Years of the Cinema auction for Christie's, a linenbacked example sold to a crazy French bidder for    $12,650.00! The following year lots of people tried to sell theirs for $5,000 to $10,000, but I don't know that any ever sold at that level.

I know for 100% certain that the buyer paid for the poster, because I was the one who paid my incredibly happy consignor!

Hi Bruce-
I actually just bought the catalog for that 1996 Christies auction on eBay a few days ago... Wow, there were some incredible posters sold back then.  I can't believe the Casablanca 3-sheet only went for $38K.  It would probably be triple, if not quadruple that today. 

Did the Frankenstein teaser sell?  Do you know what it went for?  The result for that one wasn't on Christie's site as far as I could tell...

Post by: Bruce on February 03, 2010, 01:54:57 PM
The teaser did not sell. The reserve was $300,000, and there was a real bidder willing to pay $260,000 plus premium, and I begged the consignor to lower the reserve. But my consignor wouldn't budge, and he got the poster back.

Like I said, that was a great deal. With this one, you can tell it was part a larger poster because there is some extra printing above the "Everything He Touches" tagline.  But you could frame that out and then you've got an extremely cool and unusual Goldfinger poster.

And in the long run, I could almost guarantee said awesome film noir poster will keep its value far longer should I ever need to part with it.

While I want to agree with you, you need to think about who is going to be collecting and buying this stuff in the next 20 years...You'd be lucky to find a mid range collector 20 years from now who has even heard of your noir, while I suspect many will have fond memories of their Avatar experience.

With a few rare exceptions, more and more people will have no idea about all those great "old" movies out there :(

I understand the argument Ves.

Like I said it all comes down to personal preference.  Still, I would think that $675 price tag really is more a product of the current 'Avatar craze'.  In a year will it still fetch anywhere near that amount?

Maybe you will be right and in 20 years no one will remember the great noirs (or other great, older films) and all the prices will drop considerably thereby allowing me to get some really nice titles much cheaper!

I'll say this, though, how many times I see those posters that I never saw before, and with a gasp wish i could afford them!  They may be forgotten by those who never see them, but when you see them, they can't be forgotten.  I think we're all right after a fashion. Ves is spot on that newer collectors will go with the nostalgia feeling when buying, for the most part.  But, folks with some bling to throw around will start craving better material - art for the sake of art.  To get that, we have to start going back in time.  And Dale's right, some of the new material will hold its value simply because supply is low enough that demand is not satisfied.  Let's not forget thought that the Spidey 3 lenticular went from $1000 to lucky-to-get $300.  The now-number-two Titanic's posters are for the most part worthless. 

In the end, I stand by what I've always said:  posters are not an investment.  They are pretty things to buy and look at.  Buy what you like and it will always keep you happy.  Woe to the guy who bought that Avatar lencular as an"investment."  He'd have been better off investing with Bernie Madoff.

It pains me when I hear a newbie ask seasoned collectors which poster they should buy based on investment potential.  IMO, that shouldn't be the primary reason for collecting...

I have sold more movie posters than anyone, and I can tell you that, with very few exceptions, the people who bought "for investment" did quite poorly, and that some of the collectors who bought entirely for love made a huge return on their "investment"!

It sounds paradoxical, but actually there is some real logic to it. When you love something that is NOT "hot" or "in fashion" it sometimes costs far less. And years later when others "discover" those items, they can really jump in price.

Of course, there are also people who collect on some relatively obscure stars who NEVER go up in value.

The biggest concern is to not "chase" items, paying way too much for ones that are not particularly rare or in lesser condition. If you must "overpay" for any items, try to make sure they are true rarities, and in the best condition you can find.

Hope this post is in the right place!! Did anyone buy from the last Cameo auction, as I have had a right carry on with them. I paid for my posters on the Wednesday after the auction, on the Sunday I had a phone call to say my card had not been accepted? it seems someone had put the numbers in wrong so all was fine. by the next week still no posters. So I rang them again on the Monday and there was no record of them being sent, so I was told to ring back on the tuseday, I was then told they had been miss placed but they had found them and they would be posted on the next day. Friday still no posters, so I rang them again, Oh yes we'll send them out tomorrow. So 17 days later and still no posters!!! most shoddy. Not impressed at the moment.

I had problems too. They didn't place a proxy bid I left for an early lot I would otherwise have won. They mis-described two of my winning lots as rolled posters when they were folded. They were meant to carefully pack my 8 winning lots for collection by a third party but did not do so and forgot to incude 3 of the lots. My advice is to collect or have your posters picked up - I don't think they would know how to send them safely.

That sounds about right, the first time I won anything off them it was a linen backed Quad, and they stapled the receipt to the poster? luckily it was in the linen boarder. Fingers crossed these recent one's turn up O.K. It just seems they have a very lax attitude to their.......... "job".

Could that be in contention for most expensive poster of the naughties? $900 is a crazy amount for that poster, but I have to admit that it is pretty cool.  Then again, you could probably buy an original early 20th century French advertising poster that it is modeled after for the same sum!

I can do that but past Ebay listings disappear quickly, which creates "dead" links on these forums.  You can always look up the sale by item number.  Anyway, here's the listing (http://cgi.ebay.com/Disney-Pixar-Ratatouille-Crew-Gift-Poster_W0QQitemZ270524950635).

You guys are way off the mark.  The poster sale is one of dozens of Pixar-related auctions by Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich and others for the Clinton Haiti Charity.  They're getting high prices because they're for charity.

Here's the article on SlashFilm.com (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/01/23/cool-stuff-toy-story-3-director-lee-unkrich-auctioning-pixar-memorabilia-for-haiti-earthquake-victims/) and here's the snapshot of the other sales - in addition to the several dozen completed sales:

It may be for charity... but seeing so many <5 feedback bidders (or worse, 0 feedback) in all the sellers auctions is definitely suspect. 
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on February 10, 2010, 05:14:00 PM
And just because it is a charity auction doesn't mean bad buyers pay! They really have no conscience at all. If eBay would require good ID to register, this wouldn't be an issue, but of course then the world would see that eBay has around a tenth the users it claims to, and the stock would plummet overnight (instead of slowly circling the drain).

I had no idea who the seller is (I didn't read teh listing) and if he is indeed the Director, that is a plus for the sell side. However the bid histories are classic shill reflection. The chances that the bidders are 100% real is very low.

Post by: Dread_Pirate_Mel on February 10, 2010, 06:23:56 PM
Just another day on APF aka the "All Paranoia Forum."

Rich said "the seller should be reported to fleaBay."  A five second Google search revealed that this was a legit, well-publicized auction by the director of Toy Story.  So what should he be reported for?  For raising thousands of dollars for charity?   

Bruce and Rich, do you have the slightest smidgen of proof the bidders are not paying?  Is it remotely reasonable to contend that a bidder would bid and NOT pony up for charity?  Wouldn't you expect Ebay newbies to bid on this type of auction?  Don't you think it's likely that Clinton called up some of his Hollywood buddies and asked them to do these types of auctions and that they promoted them to their pals who normally don't use Ebay?

I'm with Richard on this, Mel, I would also appreciate a link to the auction items you do screen grabs for. It doesn't take up much space adding the link and you were already on the page. It saves people having to search for these for further information. Most people would like to look at it now, not in 2 months when the link may go dead. Do you know how to put a link in here? It would be very helpful, thanks.

From LAMP (http://www.learnaboutmovieposters.com/posters/db/poster.asp?pid=1900):

The first printing has across the bottom border "one sheet - style 'A'" and then the NSS number as "77/21-0".

The second printing has across the bottom border "one sheet - style 'A'" with the NSS number as "77/21".

The third printing has across the bottom border "one sheet - style 'A'" with the NSS number as "77/21" and "Star Wars" written under it.

The fourth printing doesn't have the tag but just the NSS number "77/21" and "Star Wars" written under it.  (The "funky text" version)

Because this is my first post here, I would like to say thank you to the members of the forum for allowing me to be a member, and secondly thank you all for your time in making this a great forum.  I would also like to thank Bruce and Dave for being great people to deal with, and hooking me up with some incredible posters.  Sorry I do not have any kind words for any of the other dealers from whom I have not yet purchased posters, adding to that, forums such as this have given me confidence that there are reputable dealers in this business.

“Showing some love to ‘Smurfs in Space’”, that was a good one, Dread Pirate Mel.  But Smurfette has nothing on Neytiri in Avatar, in my humble opinion, of course.  This is the second time I have seen you comment in a forum, about a poster I purchased.  I know it is just a comment about the price of the poster and it has nothing to do with me, personally, and judging by your comments regarding sales prices of other posters, you seem to be very knowledgeable about the current prices (some might say “values”) of many posters, and I appreciate your insight.

I also appreciate some members’ wise words added to this part of the thread.  On the other side of the coin, regarding the bashing it has received, I am used to it in the real world, so it is nothing new for me.

I purchased the Avatar lenticular from emovieposter two weeks ago.  Now the people who made snide remarks about the purchase can yell “he’s the guy who bought the Avatar lenticular from emovieposter, tee hee, everyone point and laugh”.  Seriously though, it is amazing how there are so many psychics on this forum who can predict what a poster will be worth in the future. 

The posters that are in my collection are there because I have personal reasons for purchasing them, the same as everyone else, and I have reasons for paying extra to buy them from reputable dealers.  I think Ari summed it up nicely, saying “Buy what you like, and can afford, then you can't lose”.

Thanks for posting that NeoLoco.

I am probably one of the people you are referring to about 'snide' remarks.

As I have said, "to each their own".  I was in no way attacking you personally (well the buyer before I knew it was you).

It it just my opinion that is all.  I do not generally collect more modern posters but I have nothing against those who do - I am not a vintage poster elitist so to speak - they are just what appeals to me.

My comments were basically based upon my experiences in seeing the prices of posters (and collectables in general) for the newest, most popular "in thing" drop over time - there is just huge demand initially.  For me, I could not fathom spending that amount of money on an Avatar poster of any variety - but that is just me.  Obviously you and others disagree with me and that is fine.  

Also, what Ari says is very true and the best way to go about collecting anything.

So...congratulations on the Avatar lenticular...I honestly hope you trully love it and will enjoy having it for some time!

You've hit the nail on the head, exactly as Ari said.  If it makes you feel better, I paid $1000 for my Spiderman 3 lenticular at the hight of the craze.  I'd be lucky to get half that now, and damned lucky at that.

People gasped around here at the price "someone" paid for Bruce's Avatar lenticular, but that was because we didn't know who it was.  I'm very impressed that knowing the stuff that was being said, you came out and told us it was you.  Very very respectable. Frankly, I feel that the ONLY piece of movie memorabilia that is worth anything for Avatar is that lenticular.  I'm happy to have gotten mine off ebay at a BIN for $299 ( I think).  It's the #1 grossing movie in history- owning the lenticular for that one is not too shabby, and it's not like you paid $1000 for yours!  

So, welcome to the forum.  As one of the owners, I'm really really happy to see new blood like you come around to us "organically" rather than having been mangled elsewhere like some of us.  I really hope that you keep us up to date with your new purchases, and that you jump in and become one of the many great participants here.

Dude, I was just joking about that.   I have the regular Avatar poster hanging in my office right now just because I like the poster. (I haven't seen the movie and will probably like it if I ever motivate myself to actually see a movie!)

I was just hoping to rile up Thierry actually with the "Smurfs in Space" label.  He and Wonka got into a big argument about the merits of Avatar a while back on this board.

Wow, I was expecting a good old fashioned forum fight, with capital letters and all  :o.  The words of wisdom were a pleasant surprise.  Maybe you guys are not adult versions of schoolyard bullies after all.  Sounds like you guys aren't afraid to be stand up people, which says a lot about your characters, and I probably just slightly misinterpreted some of the comments.

Dread Pirate, I know you were just joking about the "Smurfs in Space" and I knew that was a funny.  I would highly recommend seeing Avatar.  It was absolutely awesome in 3D.

I scored this Deathproof poster from emovieposter's B2 auction.  Even though it is a dvd poster, it's the best artwork I have seen for it, in my humble opinion.  Gotta love the reflection in the glasses, and the lapdance scene in that movie was epic.

Maybe Mel and NeoLoco are going in together on them?  There were, count them, 2 posters in that auction you know!  Sorry, couldn't resist.

Seriously though, the last thing that seller completed an auction on that wasn't private was an unlocked 2GB iPhone.  Its a good thing the seller provided:

I have NOTHING against people paying whatever they want for whatever it is. What I don't like is that a lot of people think OH ITS EXPENSIVE IT MUST BE VALUABLE AND A GOOD INVESTMENT
I get it daily at work, ID LIKE TO INVEST IN THIS COIN.....

If you like the product WHATEVER IT IS, and happy to pay the price, go for it.

so, personally id NEVER pay $500+ for any new release poster, if its worth that much to whome ever bought it, Id say good on ya, (but be thinking IVE GOT THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE FOR SALE)

But you realise that if that is sarcastic, you are meaning the opposite of what you say (?)

so

"OMG that's so overpriced, (means its not really over priced)

Does anyone know what anyone is talking about???

Buy what you think its worth and that you can afford, posters aint oil or rice or whatever that we need, they are luxuries that we might want. Most people in the world DON't want. People who come along and say HEY I JUST BOUGHT POSTER XYZ for $ABC whats it worth? pisses me off. its worth what you paid for it, AND its worth what you get when you sell it.
Buy what you like (if your a collector) buy what you know you can make a profit (if your a dealer) kinda simple.

My goof post was an imitation, nothing to do with the price, rather comment on predictability of collector spaz-like excitement/inner-glee in pointing to over priced items when they sell. It's always cracked me up, thus, my imitation "OMG over priced!".

Those few elite "poster seals", special paper ops, and arm-chair experts with an eternal boner for pointing to over priced collectibles (of all types) without acknowledgment and/or understanding that people routinely pay all kinds of prices for an infinite number of reasons in accordance with their own priorities and degree of desire whether priced high, priced near value, or priced low. Not in accordance with three poster forum knobs like myself who have the time and specialized interest to shop for great deals.

The Mad Hatter and Avatar are over priced in my personal view, I just meant to express that anyone with even the mildest understanding of collectibles it's an understood that it may be worth three times that to another collector. Some collector's still don't get that, not anyone special, just in general.

Post by: Ari on February 19, 2010, 01:11:09 AM
also, the trouble is, when they want to sell, pay $X for avatar now, store it in a humidity controlled environment, 10 years they will think they have a fortune sitting there. And I cant predict but i'd guess, youd lose quite a few buck when you go to resell.
So again, buy what you LIKE, and can AFFORD, as with all collectables, Investment quality aint cheap, furniture or paintings or whatever, unless you luck out.

I work in rare Coin industry and people come in daily, with what they think are rare coins, but arent, they want to retuire and the $ we can offer they go backwards. Collecting is different now because SO MANY people do it, so for something to be "rare" its something that nopbody collected at the time, but it somehow survived and was bought to the market.

Avatar poster, I am sure its a great movie, awsome poster, but Ill also be sure in 20 years nearly every one thats owned now by collectors will still be in close to mint state and sell for less than now.

my 2 cents

Anybody know what exactly is going on with these lenticulars?  Is the studio really strictly controlling them, i.e. requiring them to be returned or destroyed and actually enforcing those rules? 

If they are being strictly controlled and therefore only a very few will ever be available to the public AND the movie is a hit, that poster might very well be worth $500.

NeoLoco, looks like you got yours half price: seen here. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290402970494&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) One day "value is what someone is willing to pay" will make sense to everyone not just 90% of us. I, personally, would spend no more than $400 on this piece and I would like one. But, for this buyer, based on his unique priorities and degree of interest it was worth $1000 tonight.

I wouldnt pay it, but it is no doubt the king of all ad materials for the top grossing movie of all time.  And, though it will probably lose some value, it will hold value better than almost any other material for the film (assuming concept art doesnt surface in the future).

Notwithstanding its flaws, Ebay is still the best place to find "steals" because there is less competition per poster than on Emovie, Heritage, or MPBid and high value posters can "slip under the radar."  This Spiderman Twin Towers "Coming 2002" DS - and there are no known bootlegs of this version - just sold for $31 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Spider-Man-Advanced-DS-One-Sheet-Poster-27-X-40-VHTF_W0QQitemZ110492990247).  It went for $150 (http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/poster/229596.html) & $262 last year (http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/poster/193991.html) on Emovie:

"there is less competition per poster"

I totally agree. We have 6,750 registered bidders (compared to eBay's millions and Heritage's hundreds of thousands), but our bidders only have one ID each, and every one of them is a movie paper collector, and I don't think there is the slightest chance the other sites have nearly as many movie paper bidders as we do.

We will soon be purging our list of those who have not bid in a year, and that may well knock 1,000 or more off the roll. We have no interest in promoting an unrealistic number of bidders, any more than we are willing to have even a single result on our site where the price was not paid in full in cash by a real buyer.

I also have to ask if this is the best course of action?  I would think it would be better to perhaps purge just those members that have not actually SIGNED IN with their user account as opposed to those who have not bid.  I am sure there are many members who look at the auctions regularly but do not bid for myriad reasons...

not sure this is the best idea either. the best example is the winner of the Ferris Bueller poster in my auction. He registered in 2004 and never signed back in until the day he bid on the Ferris poster almost 6 years later which obviously means he was reading the weekly emails and checking the site for the day something he wanted actually came around.

I get other bidders who also haven't signed on since 2004-2006.

what better example can there be than the Ferris poster though??

I should have said "who have not logged in". That is what I meant. It is not that you have to buy anything, just that you still have an interest.

Dormant accounts can be big trouble. They are the ones most often hijacked, and if the person ever does log in, they simply get a message asking them to e-mail us so we can re-activate their account.

You do bring up a good point Rich.  But I do understand where Bruce is coming from as well (particularly after his last post).

Of course both of you are running businesses - and there has been a lot of discussion surrounding the misrepresentation of both actual active members/bidders on auction sites and on internet poster forums...

I actually have no way of seeing who has been active the last 12 months or who has bid without winning (one more thing missing from the admin that I need changed). But of course I can say how many people have won an item since 2006 from my sales records. Concerning those who bid, but have not won - they still helped me make more money than if they had not bid

Space Puma is by an artist named Igor Mastrovskiy and I have probably eight or ten more of his posters.  He definitely has/had a distinctive style, and I can say that the other posters are equally abstract to my eyes.

Rock Head is a whole other level of abstraction though (different artist obviously).  But I do like it, and it's very rare.

Would you mind sharing some of the other posters?  Did Matrosvskiy also happen to do the poster for The Big Blue?  The medium (conte crayon?) seems very similar...

I was actually just messing around above... I'm generally a huge fan of easter-bloc posters.  I have several Polish and Czech posters on my wall.  I would love to be better versed in Russian posters as well.

Battleship Potekmin (Bronenosets Potyomkin): the movie 1925; the poster R63.

I'd agree entirely one of the best I've ever seen. There is a lot of art for that movie (Battleship Potekmin) out there but that piece is head and shoulders above it all. Peter's makes me sick.

The Midnight Cowboy is genius. Congratulations on that one.

Agreed... I never even saw that poster until I checked out Peter's collection.  I imagine it doubled in value amongst our small crowd when he did!  I was seriously considering bidding... that extra, awkward fold was the only thing holding me back!  I imagine I'll have pretty steep competition from here on out :)

I know for a fact that Zdenek Ziegler designed both Midnight Cowboy and Alien (which is also made up of small dots)... however, even though Jaws is unsigned, I'd wager he did that one as well.

I have a number of US or European posters for the vintage Russian greats. Most of them I have are 1930s posters. When I have a chance to get back to shooting my collection, I'll be sure to post them

re Potemkin
the original 1920s-30s posters for this film - from any country - are all universally great images. Like the 1930s US posters I have for Russian films, I think the Russians actually had a hand in producing the artwork for the various posters and probably did so contractually so that worldwide their promotion would have a continuous program.

I know what you are saying... but if the movie flops it will surely negatively effect the poster's value.  I mean, there is a reason people pay less than $50 for the Species II and Santa Clause lenticulars, while shelling out north of $1K for the NBX and Lost World lents.  Or maybe a better example would be the Spiderman III lenticular... that one once commanded upwards of $500.  Those days are over now that everyone knows that that movie effectively killed the franchise.

Now, I'm not saying I think Alice in Wonderland will flop.  However, lets not count our chickens before they are hatched (cough... Planet of the Apes remake... cough).

I hang my head in shame.... no, I don't read most posts and most threads on any forum.  I mostly spend what free time I have zealously hunting down For-Sale and advertisement posts sneaking themselves into the gloriously free and unadulterated poster threads.

Just goes to show how very little (actually none) poster buying I've done in over a year.  I haven't looked at Heritage posters at all for about three years now (I don't like buyer's premiums) and had no idea about the latest in sniping for it.

I can guarantee that gavelsnipe works as I used it last night to win a couple of movie poster books (http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/thumbsup.gif)

Did you get Graven Images and Children of the Night?  I saw those were both in the auction and I've been meaning to pick them up for ever.  However, I didn't end up bidding last night...

If that is what you got, please let me know how you like them.  If they are any good I'll probably pick them up at some point.

Those are exactly the books I won, Harry  ;D  Not quite a Tec 27, but at least I'll be able to read them

Post by: oldposterho on March 01, 2010, 08:23:06 PM
Both books are highly recommended. 

Heritage seems to have a deep supply of both, and they appear quite frequently so no need for a bidding war for the patient.

go to www.abebooks.com  It's pretty much the best site to buy any books, whether for reading or for collecting, including first editions of books.  I've been a collector of firsts for a long long time, and it's the site I go to, bar none, for all my book needs. And, they didn't pay me for this!  Typically, you will find these two books for better prices there than on the auction, especially at Heritage's auction where they tend to bring more.

I, as well. 

It's a toss up for me between Abebooks and Alibris (www.alibris.com).  Some rare book dealers will post to both sites and some to just one of them, so I'd check both.  You can set Want List alerts on both sites to alert you to titles when they get put up.  I've been able to snatch rare first printings at decent prices because of this.

Emovie has this Incredibles poster up for auction (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=1729344). (And most of the people on this board look through the Emovie listings, so I suppose it's no big secret.)  When I bought it a year ago, the seller claimed it was an "unreleased" poster.  Anybody know for sure?

We really should try and stick to some kind of pre-auction etiquette in consideration of others. I have no interest in an Incredibles poster but someone out there does and, just in case, it adds to a fellow collectors total why don't we try and keep post-auction analysis about post-auctions?

Yes, I posted a link to a LIT poster in the last seconds of a bid war for giggles but that was the only time and it wasn't ideal. I know you all understand the benefits so what do you think?

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on March 05, 2010, 08:29:01 PM
Carson, I think that it's not a dis-service to announce auctions myself.
just as someone may wish to keep it quiet, there are other people who want to know about the auctions. I don't see it as a breach of etiquette to out something that is going on publicly.

it's a competition.. let the best man win..
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Carson on March 05, 2010, 09:01:46 PM
I agree in part but let's wait and hear from collectors.

-It's something that can easily wait until the auction is over, there is no gain in asking the question today instead of next week. There is a gain if it saves a collector a buck.

-a stock photo works fine a link to a live auction isn't needed

-it's a better question for the authentication section than post-auction analysis
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: holiday on March 05, 2010, 09:06:52 PM
I could see it going both ways.  If someone is interested in getting more information about a poster and that's more important than keeping it secret for bidding purposes, then I get posting it and boning-up on the info.  But, if someone outs the poster just to make sure the price is driven up so as to protect that person's own high-price investment, that's nasty.  But, practically speaking, I agree with Rich that there is no etiquette, and personally it doesn't put my nose out of whack.

I'll tell you, though, I have seen postings like this and I have gone out and won the poster from the person who posted it, so beware fuckers.... I'm out to get ya!

What is the benefit in Mel, or anyone, receiving an answer now as opposed to this coming Thursday post auction? What's one substantive reason why it can't wait a week? Astound me, King Slut. Talking posters post-auction is more fun anyway. Why can it not wait in your view?

Carson, you're definitely right in principle but (1) everybody on this board routinely cruises the Emovie listings, (2) there are already 6 bidders on this one and (3) at $22 it's no longer a bargain or "steal" by any means.  So I say just use your best judgment.   I just want to know if I was given correct information.

I agree, but I also know what it is to strain to buy a $22 poster and every little measure helps so I'd like to see more consideration whether every body here cruises Bruce's or not.  I can't count the times I've forgotten a poster I was going to bid on Bruce's. A live auction posts are a reminder.

What is the gain in asking today, Mel? What's the benefit of discussing any poster today instead of after auction? Why not wait a week as a courtesy to others, just in case, it's of help to them?

Well, butt-munch, it could be that the person wants to know more about the poster BEFORE buying it, rather than waiting AFTER buying it to ask that ridiculous post-coital question, do you think I got a good deal?

Well, dick-nose, in this case Mel already owns the poster he's inquiring about but I certainly understand your point, in general, though I haven't seen anyone make the post a question during auction and watch it disappear mistake in over a year.

I asked you because your day dream Heritage auction was as brilliant. And you have to be the collector logging in to see two (one Italian and one Japanese) of the 5 posters you're going to be bidding in that sig auction in a thread so some butt-munch on a forum can enjoy 4 minutes of fleeting poster talk fun. It's just as fun to talk about _after_ the auction. Ask anyone with patience and they'll say the same. That's all. Just some thoughts, Captain.

Apparently I am mistaken Angelo..
I spoke with Sean, then John Ours who did a search of their records on the Cinevent auctions, the Swedish poster they sold is this one, which is the 1938 re-issue:

many of you may not know that for years I was the pre-eminent dealer of original comic art

I also had one of the top collections.

among the material I used to have were many Famous Monsters covers by Gogos. My earliest cover was #9 and I had many of the best pieces
#12, 16, 112.. I could list them for a while much to the awe of you fellers

I don't have any of them anymore.. but I do have transparencies.

I also have a transparency of this piece that I used to own.. sold it for $10k in 1994

sorry I had to watermark it.. I plan on reprinting it in the appropriate size at some point

this art was 30 inches hi.. I had it framed for a long time before I sold it way back when..

enjoy . this was scanned directly from the original before I shipped it out back in '94

So what does everyone think of this Cannes poster for Conan?  I had an interest at $400 and thought I had a reasonable shot at winning for $775.  I was sorely mistaken as it went north of $2000, or WTF more than I was willing to pay.  I wonder if it was a Frazetta collector that snagged it.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: brude on March 30, 2010, 02:55:42 AM
Frazetta's most iconic image (IMO).
I've never seen that version, Schan.  What were the dimensions?
I am assuming this is the second version of the original advance.
The first advance does not have John Milius' name attached.

its 30x40 and it was the poster used to advertise the movie during its debut at the Cannes Film Festival.  So, its not a second version, but another version.  I dont know how the theatrical debut lined up with the Cannes debut, but I would be willing to guess this one was first.

Well, the original advance was produced in 1980, before the movie started filming, long before it's Cannes premiere. This is not a pic of my actual poster (I have yet to photograph it) and it is undersized (24x36) like DeLaurentis' "Flash Gordon" foil teasers.  As you can see, it was basically an announcement that the film was in production, coming soon. (And, I stand corrected -- Milius was attached to the project at the time of printing).
The art was picked up from the paperback book -- Lancer, I believe.  Also attached is a pic of the Belgian 15x20, which I bought from Kymar (you'll see their watermark).  The Conan logo on the Cannes poster is from the comic book, while the logo from the Belgian (and the French I have seen) is from the re-vamped comic book.  Any way you look at it -- and I'm sure most will agree -- it is one of Frazetta's greatest and most powerful paintings -- painted with FIRE!!!  Anyone who wants to know more about this titan of art will enjoy the DVD, Painting with Fire.

There is one of these rolled advances on Ebay now ($1450.00) which differs from the attached cropped pic (note color diff on sides as opposed to bottom border).

My wife saw it on the screen, and declared she loved it, so I went after it with a really high bid that fortunately was not even closely reached.
Will be restored and hung in the bedroom.  :)

(It's a 4 Fogli, so at 55"x78" will look pretty damn cool up on the wall I think.)

Sweet Wonka. You got the one you wanted. Poor nicklyk never knew what hit him   :P..I do think it looks cool and those are two of my all time favorite actors.

I picked up three I like but once again I let the two I really wanted get away. Im such a cheap / dumb bastard.

I am learning though. If you want it and can afford it. Get it.

Wonka

That is a wonderful movie (but its female fans outnumber male fans around 100 to one, even with Steve McQueen, due to the subject matter).

And personally I love the art.

But I am confused. If you put in a sky high bid, how is it you didn't get "mysteriously maxed" on it? laugh

I decided to let a poster go without bidding, even though I really wanted it.  I figured it would go for decent money when I saw it in Bruce's auction.  Just couldn't justify dropping 200+ right now *sigh*

A dilemma we all face at some time Angelo...

and I guarantee it will not be the last time you have to let something you really want go.

But just remember - most posters will turn up again at some point - you just have to be ready if you can pay the $ at that time

Thanks, Angelo!

Chris, those must be some crazy fingers...ha.  But I like the brush stroke effect...anything that resembles hand-made art is always a plus for me and my poster tastes.  We like this vivid yet abstract 60s design, so this will fit right in with some other stuff we have in the house.

Bruce, good stuff.  
I was scared for a minute that Phil would log in and bump me up into the stratosphere.  ;)

Zorba, which ones did you get?
Remember, patience is the key, and the ones you did not bid more aggressively will be back again and yours to purchase...maybe sooner than you think.

Ferris didn't go higher because its a classic American movie, so the international version with the same art is more desirable on the market because it has the text in English.

Aweosme poster, Wonkabud  qip

One of my favorite from the auction. I've never seen the movie but those two actors, that era, Italian design.. cannot beat it! Keep in mind it 'tis a MONSTER size and backing will run you an easy $500+ on that beauty so you may want to save cash slowly over time then send her to Dario when the piggy bank fills.

It's true, Zorba, patience pays, so long as you're not talking about the numerous rarities that in fact don't resurface and those that never make it to a public market at all.
In other words, patience pays so long as you're learned on what you're looking for. I cannot count the posters I've seen just one example of in 10 years.

Thanks Carson, I am pumped to get it.  I get excited when my wife likes this stuff, although her tastes are even more expensive than mine.
But you are right, the actors, the 60s design, its all there...
Thankfully, this one didn't break the bank, but as you allude to, the restoration (and subsequent framing job) will be a small fortune.

Does Dario work with pieces this big?  Will have to check, but seem to remember him saying he did not do anything bigger than a large French piece.

If not, can you, or anyone for that matter recommend a restorer who does great but cost efficient work with larger pieces?
Poster Fix?

I'd say it certainly needs backing. It's fragile and can be difficult to handle unless you take 'er easy move slow to avoid more tearing.
I'm a anti-paint advocate; in my little view painting on a poster conceals the age, character and flaws that make an old movie poster an old movie poster and unique. It's an effort to make something old look like something it's not. See Joan Rivers as an example. So personally, I just clean and back. And no painting/airbrushing/watercoloring saves a lot of bread to be put toward the cleaning and backing. I like postermountain but email around for quotes.

Post by: marklawd on March 31, 2010, 01:15:19 PM
That is a great poster Wonka and I was going to bid until I noticed it was the larger Italian 4-foglio size. Given Bruce's warnings about its fragility and my personal experience of this size of poster I am certain you would add tears to it everytime you unfolded it. It seems you have little choice but to back it unless you plan on never viewing it - and that won't be cheap, particularly if it is to be framed also. No, Dario doesn't do this size - I checked just before the auction. I have four Italian 2-foglio posters on the walls of my sitting room and they dominate it.

Mark
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: wonka on March 31, 2010, 01:38:50 PM
Thanks, Mark.
I actually went after it because it was the 4-foglio size...the wall it will be hung on is quite big and quite bare, so this will go perfectly.  In most cases, I prefer a larger size if it is available.  (ex: my Raiders of the Lost Ark 40x60 that is framed over the one sheet).  I just might take Carson's advice and put it on linen without restoring to help with framing costs.

It will be opened once very carefully before being sent to who does the linenbacking.  Thanks for the advice.

Any chance we can see pics of your four Italian 2-foglios you have in the sitting room?  Pretty please?

it was neither.. It was the result of a lack of information due to a lack of due dilligence
He had an opportunity to go to Ron Borst's house & compare but he did not, in part because he thought that the fact the piece was done by a lithographic process and his lack of knowledge of the S2Art reproductions. Which of course means he did not have the available information to  make the correct judgements because he was just woefully unqualified to do the work he was doing. it doesn't really get any simpler

and by the way Carson.. honest oversight or not, we aren't talking about some inconsequential situation, which is easily white-washed.. We're talking about a serious lapse of judgement, followed by a serious lack of hubris, in turn followed by a lack of any sense of responsibilty for long enough that other people were damaged by his actions..

if he had done his work properly, it all could have been avoided..
whether he was Moe, Curly or Larry.. does not matter.

Thanks, Rich. That one has actually been bugging me for a while as I think that much of John's work. He's the best in my opinion right up there with Dario. So I wanted to know "what the deal was" once and for all.

So you're saying, ultimately, it was a missed assumption (he wrongly assumed "it was done using lithography, therefore it most certainly has to be original") on John's part resulting from his lack of knowledge of the S2 group litho recreations, and perhaps, moreover, his generally being under qualified to determine the validity of such a poster to begin with. Thanks.

Killer poster, Wonka. I really love those Italian pieces.

A good restorer of larger material is J. Fields Studio in Philadelphia (google 'em). I've been happy with the stuff he's done for me.

I have quite a few Italian 4-foglios. Love the impact of them, but backing and displaying them is a problem. And as someone else mentioned, you pretty much need to back them, because the paper typically gets very brittle over time.

Thanks, Ron...I will definitely look up J. Fields.  At this point I am just looking for the best deal, but do not want to sacrifice quality at the same time.  Still, I would be more picky if I was restoring, but at this point I am taking Carson's advice and just putting it on linen, cracks and holes and all, so it will keep from deteriorating any more.  I like the old poster look, I don't want this one looking too clean at this point.

Wonka, I had Poster Conservation do a few posters for me.  They are very friendly to deal with, did a great job, the price was good, and the turnaround time was quick.  The posters did not need any major work, but they look almost brand new after having them done.  Here are a couple pictures of a 30x40 Taxi Driver before and after linen-backing/restoration, and a Big Lebowski after.

As for the Voodoo Woman 1 sheet.  It's worth every penny -- looks virtually unused -- and is far superior to the crap distributed for the other three films. I think the buyer got a sweet deal at $265.

I have John (postermountain) address the gaps and holes by painting the same general color on the canvas itself. Added color only goes on the _canvas_ not the poster. It's when you start patching and airbrushing that it detracts from the poster (imo) as well as gets expensive. It'll make sense when you do it.

OK. Two collectors who have a goodly amount of money both wanted the poster, and saw that the clearly described defects are not very serious.

Two guys with plenty of dough + only one example of the poster = a high selling price.

One of the things I've been most guilty of in life is having a good point and then letting it get lost in the delivery.  I also know that in any situation, each party plays a role of some sort.  Jeannie's heart was in the right place in that she was working to protect the forum by curtailing commercial advertising efforts.  At the same time, she and I both know that you have a LOT to say that could be considered commercial, but which is also of interest aside from advertising.  It's damned hard to draw the line.  Also, it's a pain in the ass even having to watch a line, Bruce.  If I were to lean one way or another towards Grey Smith and Heritage for instance, I could be accused of favoritism towards that site.  Same goes if I lean towards you.  The one thing that Thierry and I do want is a PAID-advertising-free forum. 

In other words, some advertising is good, in the right place such as the for-sale or dealer sections.  Advertising is not good in other sections.  Paid advertising will never be good.  As a moderator, as with me as an owner, Jeannie was doing her best to balance these issues and points of view.  Respectfully, you started crossing the line a bit with personal jabs and that's what started this particular ball rolling.  In times past, it's Dave whose done so, and had Dave done so in this instance, it would have been him rather than you.  Or, for that manner, it would have been anyone that started getting personal.

I don't know if this helps you hash it out in your mind, Bruce, but it's the best I can come up with on short notice ;-)

People don't understand, also what goes behind the scenes, and once you are in the position where you need to decide what stays and what goes, its hard.
EG, I have have had SO MANY emails saying I don't play fair, strangely I have only deleted ONE post since NS4 Started, and it was particularly hmm, well, I don’t know how to explain.
But the main complainers are the same people who week after week sneak FS posts into threads.
I choose to ignore it usually, as it shows the postee (?) with their true colours.
Go against the rules, after a while people spot the MO.
And can block that users posts if you like (not sure about here but NS4 you can)
Same on Mopo, I delete all the FS posts before I read any of it.

Did anybody participate in the Live Auctioneers/Gene Andrewski estate auction today (http://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/21155)?  Mostly vintage stuff.

I'd never heard of Live Auctioneers until last week. They occasionally host movie poster auctions.

I was very impressed with the auction process & software - very smooth and easy to use.

I know several others who had the same experience with Mid-Hudson

the owners of teh collection left alot of money on the table for that collection by selling through those idiots

Rich

You couldn't be more right. They are going to mostly get wholesale prices from dealers who will re-consign the items to me or you, thus guaranteeing they get half or less of what they might have otherwise.

And of course, while the collectors do get many bargains, they also get over-graded and mis-described items that may well be poorly packed and have nosebleed shipping, which will cause a lot of headaches and cancel out many of the bargains.

All the more reason people who have collections should leave clear instructions on how their items should be liquidated should something happen to them. But few people do, because everyone wants to think they can live forever.

Post by: Dread_Pirate_Mel on April 17, 2010, 07:31:27 PM
From a collector's perspective, everything was fine.  The bidding software was excellent. 

Also, I did call them and they said dealers were going to be actively involved and looking for below-market bids, so I'm not surprised the dealers dominated.

As far as low prices, I had zero interest in 98% of the stuff for sale since it was vintage, so I can't judge that.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: CSM on April 17, 2010, 07:43:33 PM
Judging by the results, I would say a lot of bidders got some pretty damn good deals!

Specifically the Deadline at Dawn 1-sheet and the Hangover Square and Lodger inserts...

So Mel, I presume you won the Bond lot?

Are Pirates of the Caribbean posters worth $100+ ? or were all the drunk bidders on Heritage tonight?  

Im asking what is a serious question to me. Those two PotC auctions went against everything I thought I had learned.

The Jaws and Taxi Driver b2's( I know they graded lower) went for less.

Post by: holiday on April 18, 2010, 11:38:37 PM
The posters for Curse of the Black Pearl aren't easy to come by these days.  They're heavily reprinted, especially the skeleton version.  If I did not already have a set in my collection, I can say that I wouldn't be put off by $100 a pop on those, assuming that they're in top condition AND double sided.  But, if you don't like the Pirates movies, then they're not worth a crap!
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Zorba on April 19, 2010, 12:01:35 AM
Thanks. That helped clearing my confusion. Makes perfect sense that way.

I like the first Pirate movie as I do have the (pardon my terminology) big French version. I just dont like it at even half those numbers. I would rather spread my limited resources around elswhere. That B2 Jaws would have looked mighty nice on one of these walls. Live and learn.

I do appreciate this board.

Post by: holiday on April 19, 2010, 01:46:18 PM
Glad you're having fun here, Zorba.  The b2 for Jaws is a cool poster, no doubt.

If you're patient, you'll find copies of the Pirates for well within the $50 range I think.  Heritage tends to have bidders that are willing to pay a bit more so that they don't have to keep hunting.  If you're a hunter, as Thierry would attest, there are good buys all over the place.

ArmandX is a fantastic seller and he's a pretty good guy as well
I'm certain he was selling an authentic Pulp Fiction and the low price exemplifies the fact that aside from fleaBay being a bargain market, that bidders do not trust buying such a poster on fleaBay and so the price it will sell for is low unless it is paired with many like auctions. If I recall, Armand has mostly been listing silent lobby cards and ephemera, so he wasn't selling any other rolled modern posters to merge bids etc.

I have a Dazed and Confused video poster that I wish I had linen-backed.  It was one of my first original movie posters and I wanted to frame it, but it didn't look perfect.  After talking to a couple people about how the video posters are not as valuable as movie theater posters, I said "screw it", not wanting to spend some money to linen-back it, I asked the framer to dry mount it, and trim it to fit an Allposters.com frame.  The dry mount did not take the fold lines out, and it looks pretty bad.  That was almost 2 years ago, and I still have not seen a Dazed and Confused video poster to replace this poster that looks like a dry mounted turd.

Carson: it is the one with the smiley face.

I had to edit my last post because, at times, words of advice are a complete waste of time, and I generally try to ignore people who are talking trash.

I like both versions - both are totally groovy! Bruce's is a 40x60 in superb shape for its age.  I doubt there are  many of these left on Planet Earth (but maybe some on Planet SoGo). Well worth framing.  (It's a pending auction, of course, but the price and interest is so high that it's OK to discuss).

Well [sugar] - I missed out on this Emovie auction for the international High Fidelity - haven't seen this one before and these international versions are infernally difficult to find:

Yeah, that's a nice one, Mel, and for a movie I really love.  I don't know how I missed even seeing that one listed!

OK, this Star Wars Birthday printers proof auction has busted through the $1,000 mark - after just three days! - so it's fair game for discussion.  How high will it go?

I buy heaps of posters over the $1000. Are you saying we all have budgets that stop below $1000, so its ok to discuss in progress auctions once they hit 1K??? Or are you referring to Star Wars posters? I dont mind having Star Wars posters discussed during an auction because I wouldn't buy any Star Wars poster, not even if they cost a dime!

That was an informal rule proposed and more or less accepted at the beginning of this thread.  The purpose of not discussing pending auctions is to allow bargain hunters a shot at getting a steal.  By the time a poster gets to $1,000 and has several determined bidders going at it, the "cat's out of the bag" and discussing it publicly will not affect the price.

Also, in my opinion the rule shouldn't even apply to dedicated movie poster auctions (EMovie, Heritage, MBid) because those posters are heavily promoted and reviewed by most of the forum members here anyway.  However, others disagree.

By the way, if you're able to afford "heaps of posters over $1,000" then I'd like to know what you do for a living!  This lawyer gig doesn't pay that kind of coin....

Well, it's gone up to $1,580 with six days to go, no doubt fueled by the reckless discussion of it in this thread.  

Or maybe the fact that it's a featured item that's viewed by everybody venturing into the Ebay Original MP section.....

Just purchased 3 circus posters averaging $1000 each (French 2-panels).

Simply working in IT as a PM, nothing special... Now earning only 15% what I was during the dot.com boom, darn it. Unemployed 9 of the last 12 months. My G/F is a lawyer and earns half mine, her lawyer friend half that again. It comes down to disposable income. Lawyers mostly don't earn what people think they do... I don't think it is worth trumpeting being a lawyer, looks a bit lame to me.

You can be sure if you bring to my attention a poster over $1000, (but limited to around 10K), for which I like, I will definitely affect the price as I rarely let a goody slip by... My preference would be not to discuss during auction posters under 10K... $1000 is not much... look at the price for just a #@!%* Star wars poster

I'd say most I went to school with would rather massage feet at a retirement home for free than a career within law. It wasn't generally considered a desirable field when I was graduating. If you wanted to impress your girlfriends parents you would say you were interviewing with yahoo, cisco, or sun micro. But that was around 1998-2002. I'm sure the way to get laid now is to say google or amazon. But, yes, those I know with computer science degrees, software devs, creative programmers in general are leading in incomes still somewhat early out of school. And they earn it. They put in unbelievable hours; it's tough work.

Rather than devolving to personal insults, why don't we conduct a straightforward poll and abide by its results?

I believe only mods can set them up.  I suggest the following:

Should forum members be allowed to discuss pending auctions (multiple selections allowed):

1) No, not under any circumstances.

2) Only if and when the auction reaches $________ (or a set amount like $1000)

3) Only auctions by Emovie, MoviePosterBid and/or Heritage should be discussed

4) No restrictions should apply

If you need help on something, privately PM someone you trust to help you get answers to your concerns.

to not be able to talk about an auction listing of any kind is A FORM OF CENSORSHIP

to go further, I welcome anyone who outs any auction I might be interested in!
You may have seen something I missed

Anyone can search ebay or MPB, when I was buying a lot I scrolled through every page. Id say its pretty rare a good item, underpriced, isnt noticed - which is what people are complaining about

Post by: Carson on June 02, 2010, 08:09:53 PM
With respect, Mel and Zorba are relatively very new collectors and Rich a professional auctioneer. I'm a bit more curious as to what longer term collectors feel. And my bet is the answer will be near unanimous once they post, if they do. I, literally, know not one collector who wants to have their poster auction linked during bidding. Do you, Ari? Does anyone? I find it a very easy courtesy to wait a few days for discussion.

Rich and Mel have been the two most vocal about what I see as a pretty minor matter and easy courtesy -- although we're awaiting your open letter to MoPo on the matter, Rich. Perhaps we should listen to views on posting mid-auction auctions from collectors as opposed to full time auctioneers.

Between Mel and Rich the only logic put forth so far as to why posting current auctions is a good idea is: "hey, I may want to bid on it!". The very reason collectors don't want their poster auctions posted mid auction. Collectors, in my experience, don't want their current auctions broadcasted to a poster forum. A collector, knowing he's not going to bid on the item, imposing three minutes of fleeting poster-talk fun on a live auction that may result in a collector adding $5, $50, $500 to his price tag doesn't weigh in well against the chance of saving a collector money. It doesn't weigh at all, in fact..

Carson, I've been a collector as well as a dealer all my life and I'll bet dimes to dollars that I spend more $$ each year on my own collection than the majority of people on this group or any other. I don't care if everyone on the planet knows about something.. as long as I have a fair shot, I have no complaints and that's mostly because I am very pragmatic and I recognize that if I never get a Murder My Sweet 3 sheet or a Raymond Chandler signed first edition of Big Sleep, my life is not going to end because of it

Like gambling, if I want to win the pot, I have to put the money up. If someone else wants it more.. let them have at it and let the best bidder win. If it isn't me.. so what!!

Carson, I couldn't have stated it any better, really. Rich, that is your dealer side talking not the collector side, why would you not want to save money. Do you give the house back the money they gave you if they payout on a losing hand?

No Dale, it is not my dealer side talking.. It's my pragmatic side talking. Pragmatism is something you gain more of as you get older.. To quote Dan Haggerty "When you lose passion, you gain wisdom". The meaning of his statement of course being that as you age, you realize that many things are not as important as you used to think they were..

I would love to get a Blue Dahlia 1sheet.. It always goes for more than I'm willing to pay, and so I do not have one. One day I may get lucky & find one at a price I'll pay.. If not, my ghost will not roam the Earth until one of my descendents courageously saves my soul from ever-lasting hell. rather, I will go peacefully with the knowledge of what I have had in the past or have at that moment and I will not cry out on my deathbed "dammit, I never got that Blue Dahlia". Believe me, at that moment.. it isn't what I'm going to be thinking about.

I agree with Rich, end of the day, PAY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD AND THINK ITS WORTH, nobody is stealing from you, An example, I wanted, as I know another member here did, a MUMMY  (hammer) daybill took me years. I saw them up and backed out when it got too high, finally, years later I got one for the price I COULD AFFORD and THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH (to me) – remember they are bits of paper covered in ink – ie, not really worth anything unless someone else wants also.
Buy it if you want, don’t if you don’t its paper, there’s no guns at your head.

Point to consider: Are pending auctions discussed on other forums?

Second point to consider: $1,000+ posters are relatively rare.  Heritage reports 112,000 posters sold.  Only 6600 of them - or 5.9% - sold (including BP) for more than $1,000.  
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Carson on June 02, 2010, 11:52:06 PM
Absolutely agree, buy what you can afford, that's always a good rule of thumb for those who don't like debt. There's no gun to your head; they're bits of paper and ink, not food and shelter. I agree. And to the point being discussed and point to consider: I know not a single collector who prefers the poster they're bidding being linked with screenshot mid-auction. If it can save a collector a dollar it's well worthwhile in being considerate of that. This is the third time in this thread this very small matter has surfaced, essentially because Mel is still single.

I understand you don't agree, Rich, but a few minutes of forum chatter fun for Mel or otherwise isn't worth potentially adding $5, $10 or $50 to another collectors tab when he goes to pay. It's a very small matter. Not a biggie. The majority of collectors I know and speak with, when asked if they want the rarities they seek up for auction being discussed mid-week on the forum the answer is a resounding no. Why keep pressing? What's so significant about the issue?

The point is just a small consideration of others who do care, in the case, and just in case, someone on the forum is bidding a rarity and doesn't want it broadcast. How are the points above relevant to that fact?

Last, genuinely curious not stirring, what purpose does it serve to post to announce "Hey, dudes, look, a Star Wars poster at auction!"?
Who or what purpose does it serve, why is it important to you and why can it not wait a few days? Thanks.

And like poster buying, I am not going to go find bunch of professional poker players and let them know where all of the easy games I play are located.  I keep those to myself and continue to make money off of them.  If I outed them to all of the poker players I know, those guys would be broke, and I would be looking for a new game.

All well and good, don’t others who maybe want the said item be warned its around? As a collector, I understand you want a bargain and nobody to know whatever is up for sale, but at the end of the day, the seller tries his/her best to make a buck, and if its consigned the owner wants the best, AND there might be more people THAN YOU who want the poster and if they want it MORE, they will pay more.
Theres a section on ebay, devoted to Movie posters, Lots of them, theres also a site www.movieposterbid.com
Did I just OUT anything? Well I did, many thousands.

I guess my question is why keep asking the same questions essentially? Why is the matter so significant? If it's of possible help in savings why not wait a couple of days.

Did you out the poster with the movieposterbid link, Ari? No, likely not. Like Rich's gambling analogy, the example doesn't run in congruence with bidding a rare movie poster. Lose a hand gambling, play another hand, another hand and anohter. Lose a one shot opportunity at a rare poster and it may come around again 5 or ten years or never.

I don't, because it doesn't interest me, as in, if I see a poster I want (rarely) I just bid, don't feel the need to tell anyone. But I assume, theres people all over the world who have also seen it. I also assume that most of them are not members of Allposterforum
we are not the world of poster collecting here, or at NS4, Mopo or even MPF. Just a fraction, - it might make someone see something they missed, and so they bid, but thats auctions, dont like it? don't do it, go direct to a dealer. Dont like Dealers? dont buy.  or just trade with other collectors.  OR just complain. and dont get the poster. Cripes they are bits of paper.
When I have shill bidders on my water then I will be mad.

I understand and agree forums are a tiny fraction.
Holding off discussing an auction, especially when Mel knows he won't be participating in them, is just a small courtesy to provide fellow collectors who may be participating in the auction.
If it's under $1000 give it a few days to close before discussing. Announcing a poster mid-auction serves no purpose aside from satisfying a fleeting posting urge or Mel offsetting his idle time.

If it's under $1000 give it a few days to close before discussing. Announcing a poster mid-auction serves no purpose aside from satisfying a fleeting posting urge or Mel offsetting his idle time.

Carson, I'm going to put you down as voting for (new) choice E: "No discussion of pending auctions unless I feel like it."  

A few months ago you spent your "idle time" on this forum posting several updates during a pending auction of the extremely rare unicorn Lost In Translation poster on Emovie.  You started posting when it was $150 until it finished at $250.  Anybody on this forum could have jumped into the fray and pushed the price higher because of your postings.

A few months later you specifically stated that that poster was nearly impossible to find.

Also you - and several others - routinely post when Alamo posters go on sale.  These types of postings have created an extreme "buying frenzy" that makes it impossible for many to purchase those posters.

Bottom: You've got zero "street cred" on this issue.

The alamo posters are not even in the same solar system, there are normally 200 of them and advertised on 10 websites at a minimum. It is a friendly GO NOW post to HELP people try to obtain something and that does not change the end pricing.

I could even give 2 shits less about stuff on Bruce's and Rich's site as people make time to look at them with known end times and can plan their life around it. Ebay is all I really care about. I don't have time everyday to look at every poster listed and refresh the poster category nine thousand times a day. When I do take time out to browse or search for something I want, yes it does piss me off when someone else "outs" it.

I have a solution. everytime you want to out an auction, do this: where ever you would put the title of the item and the ebay link, I suggest you insert the term "lick anus".. so a potential outing of a Star Wars Birthday  poster by seller Funkystars would look like this:

Hey folks I just found a lick anus poster on lick anus being sold by lick anus.
The link to the poster being sold on lick anus is lick anus
also, I hope that any board member who wins the lick anus poster has alot of fun looking at his lick anus poster that he won from lick anus.

Lick anus rules

ahh rich, one of a kind.

Back to the thread...

I still think outing auctions as a crime is crazy.
I dont sell via auction, so I am not someone who is better off with it.
It seems collectors, just always want a bargain, and sure everyone does, BUT, if you are bidding AT AUCTION, whether it be Ebay or MPB or HA or whatever, you have to respect the fact OTHERS might want it, and if they want it more than you, OR they happen to have a few more bucks in the bank, OR they are a dealer and have a buyer lined up, or WHATEVER, and they win.... THATS WHAT AN AUCTION IS.

If you review the thread it's plain to see. The majority don't like to have their poster auctions posted during auction and prefer keeping the thread, as titled, post auction.

I readded my post just as you posted, Rich; fascinating, I'm sure. To answer your question, what makes it worth my time, Rich, it's in recalling when I was a younger collector buying on a shoe string. $5 was a lunch at subway. The thread is called post-auction for good reason. If not posting a poster mid auction as a small courtesy to others can save a collector $5 or a dollar it's worthwhile. No collector should need to pay more for a poster, essentially, because Mel is filling his idle time posting auctions he won't be participating in.

Further, it's worth my time as a member and moderator to listen to what the majority is expressing and if you review the majority would rather not have their posters posted while they're bidding on them. Do you not get that, Rich? If not, how can I make it expressly clear. Help me help you.  :) And are you married?

what majority.. 3 people vs 4 people??
I suggest a thread just called "Auction" or "Out the Auction" or even "Pre-end-of-sale-auction-outing"

how often does it happen to begin with??
what empirical evidence do you have that shows whether such comment has positively or negatively affected any bidder??
how do you reconcile the reported hipocrissy that Mel has pointed out in your posts??
to be sure.. not being able to talk about something IS CENSORSHIP

Carson, you approach the question from the wrong direction, and that's why you don't see our side. The real question is: why do you think that because you want to save a few bucks that our speech should be curtailed

that is the true root of the situation. I want to talk if I so choose. You wish to stifle my chat.

LOL.. my friend.. that is a pathetic response. Mel showed how you outed an auction that still had days to run. So obviously you didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time. Did someone spoil your fun on something else afterward, and so now you're up in arms against it? That's what I call a lack of consistent philosophy and that's what I'm saying you need to reconcile.

But that only answers ancillary issues. Again, the real question: why do you think that because you want to save a few bucks that our speech should be curtailed

that question gets to the root of the issue.
Why is it that your interests trump my own??
Why does your personal interest have greater weight than my interest?

Just a thought - but perhaps someone posting about an auction mid-auction is actually doing so nefariously?

What I mean is, they post it here (outside the for sale section) and they actually have an interest in the auction results (they may be the seller/know the seller/be the consignor etc).  It actually becomes sneaky advertising and we all know how bent prudish forum members get when for sale posts aren't put in the proper place!

Really I just wanted to add some fuel to the fire  :D

Great points all around Chris wynk

Regarding counselor clueless, Rich. Mel's priority is typically the win not facts. He grabs at what straws are available, reaching for points that are ultimately pointless; just as comparing my post to say there are 2 minutes left in auction to posting a mid week auction and his limp attempt bringing up Alamo posters  eyeroll 15 year olds on my highschool's debate team could debate more effectively.

Ari, I feel like there should be a hymn being sung when I read your posts lately, get out some alcohol and relax a little, we all know it is paper but if I had the option of 2 pieces of paper for 10.00 or 1 for 10.00 I would have the 2 even if it is bonus buy toilet paper.

How about we start a new thread "HERE IS MY WANT LIST, POST LINKS TO AUCTIONS WITH TITLES ON IT SO EVERYONE ELSE CAN BID ON IT".

Is it really that hard to be considerate to others or am I lost? There is a difference between someone dropping me a mail saying "dale I saw poster I know you wanted, (lick pushy) currently has one for sale, thought you might like to know" and hey everybody here is a Mark of the Vampire daybill for 5.00.

You know Rich, I really do respect both sides.  And mostly, I could care less.  The places I generally buy dont get outed and I have never had it happened to me.

But man, the "we should be allowed to do it because its our right as free speech to do so" argument really tastes like anus.  Basically, you are saying that you want to do it just because you can and from what i can tell because it causes consternation to others.  It does nothing really to explain what enjoyment you gain (except when its your own auction, obviously) or what gains are made by the forum as a community.

Ultimately, the we can do it because our rights say we can is a viable argument, but it is also a prety petty and ineffective way to make a point.

Carson, this is exactly how people avoid a discussion. They don't answer the real questions and call the other side clueless, or that the other side has unknown motives (Mel wants to win). I'm not trying to win anything, so I have no unknown motives, I just want to know why your personal interest in saving money trumps my inalienable free speech rights. That's all. You should be able to put forth a cohesive argument, or you should admit that there is no justifiable reason why that should be so. I look at the question as simple, to the point, direct and honest. You should be able to answer it in kind.

I can see why people (buyers) would think outing an auction may cause them to loose $. But really, look at whatever auction you have seen outed, and wanted to bid, compare the bidders to members of this or another forum, who may have read about it.
Then think, if they (member who may have read or not) wanted it more than you, and was willing to pay more than you, how is that bad?
Its an auction, it’s the whole point,,  whoever wants it most, can afford it, willing to pay, WINS!
Its kinda nice to spread the word, someone may have missed it, and wants it.
Plus, its bits of paper. It aint air, food, water, shelter.

so Carson, are you saying that you cannot answer why youthink your wish to keep something secret trumps my rights to say what I choose?? That surprises me as I think you are a reasonably intelligent person. Why do you get into a discussion if you wish to run from teh serious questions?

and concerning Jeff Rosen and Echo Potokar, I suggest you look to see who started what before you choose to hold up anything as evidence of anything.

But back to the issue.. will you or will you not answer that one over-riding question?

and by the way folks.. There is no reason for anyone on any side of any debate to take anything personally. You debate in good faith your position and you walk away from it the same friends you walk into it. I don't know why you (Carson) feels the need to act otherwise here.

Kovacs.. I believe that chopping the blinds is a mistake and I never do it. Whatever the outcome of a hand is is what the outcome is and it is not affected by whether you do or do not chop. After all, I'm trying to get heads-up 90% of the time anyway.. why would I want to end a hand when I am now in that position. I'm happy to surrender my blind or continue to play as the hand warrants it. I don't care if the house rakes the pot- there has to be money out there for that to happen. But I also do not chop this time and not the next time.. that's an asshole's way.

Thought I would chime in here, seems like a good time, and to take a break from my Cinevent opus which has been more time consuming than I first envisioned, but I feel well worth it.

Generally, I think this debate/argument should not even take place, its that silly.  Here's why...

First and foremost, what is the point or rush to talk about a poster that is still for sale via a live auction?  Why?  Is it that pressing, to talk about it ASAP instead of in a few days?  So we can have a conversation like this I guess:

Original post- "Check this poster out, how crazy is this! (insert link)"

First response- "Yeah, that's crazy."

Second response-"I think its a fair price so far."

Third response- "I don't, I wouldn't pay half that for a Star Wars cake."

And so forth.  How riveting.  Ultimately, its not even necessary in the first place.  Wanna talk about a poster?  Great!  Wait till it ends, like the thread title lays out to begin with.  This seems like common sense to me.

I second Dale, and what I was thinking over the past few days as I was reading this was its about courtesy, plain and simple.  

Rich, this is a forum for a hobby, in this case posters.  Its not some social issues or political platform to sound off...so the whole censorship thing is a bit silly and over-dramatic in this case.  That soapbox has nothing to do with this or this forum, IMO.

Ari, with your laid back "whatever" attitude, I am sure we could share many evenings on the porch with a few drinks and laughing over stories, poster related and not...we seem to have the same general demeanor, my friend.  But in this case, I think you are missing it completely.  It's not "just paper, bid or not", its people perhaps paying too much and perhaps losing out on poster that they might not have out of the group who was initially privy to that particular auction.

One person deciding an auction can be 'outed' because it hits a magical number is inane on every level...poster budgets are all over, and not one person and his/her respective budget is more important than the other in terms of courtesy and all deserve the same respect as the next.

Let's respect others in the sense that linking to live auctions could potentially cost people money and posters, and simply not do it.  Seems like the neighborly thing to do.  My two cents...or three.

Everybody is looking for a good deal and "to the finder should go the spoils" - half the fun of this hobby is finding stellar deals.  Discussing pending auctions "let's the cat out of the bag" and can dramatically increase the final price.  

I would suggest that is OK to discuss pending "high profile" auctions like the Heritage Metropolis auction but lower-profile auction discussions should be delayed until the conclusion of the auction. If you don't want the poster yourself, you should PM those who might be interested, rather than publicly announcing it.  Of course, that principle should not apply to sellers, who can promote their auctions as they desire.

Again, that's just my opinion.  Anybody agree or disagree?

okay well all you're exemplifying is that Mel agrees any such chat should not be part of this thread.. something on which I agree. Now you'll have to convince me why it should not be chatted about in any other thread.

By the way, on the CGC comics board, what IS being auctioned are the most common threads which then evolve into "post-auction" threads. They start with a current item & move to closed. There's alot more money involved there.. believe me.

I don't think a vocation should instill more or less weight on a thread/post/point's argument or otherwise.

After this latest hypocrisy and insensibility from Mel, and Holiday's f-bomb temper tantrums, I think the fields of Law are hitting 0 for 2.

Thanks for the tip, Rich. Those more familiar with Mel than yourself (ie, everyone here) know what Mel does for a living. But thanks.

Everyone on the forum knows what Mel does because Mel used to have "Lawyer from D.C." printed below his avatar per each post.  thumbup
I've always wondered why Holiday or Er(ot)ic don't do the same in announcing their profession?
Perhaps you have that answer too, Mr. Richard L. Anus?

As I've said, I honestly feel the matter of mid-auction debate has been raised three separate times in this thread, essentially, because Mel is single. I sincerely feel you, Richard, and Mel should both look into marriage (women or each other). And I've explained this: I like Mel, he's eccentric, funny and one of the best parts of stopping by but , yes, I do, at times, find it amazing he's licensed to practice given his frequently inept debate and reaching methods.

Carson, my feeling is that if she's making me coffee in the morning.. she's overstayed her welcome. This is gained from the experience of  marriage (1) live-in girlfriends (several) temporary stay girlfriends (lost count) and the warm fuzzy feeling of being able to watch football without interuption or the ability to display a Russ Meyer poster without comment..

ps: I know I'd have the same feeling about Mel if he was making me coffee

When the posters in current auctions are discussed, there may be competition like this  :D

concerning Jeff Rosen and Echo Potokar, I suggest you look to see who started what before you choose to hold up anything as evidence of anything.

You miss the point repeatedly just as Mel. It has non to do with a "right" Rich. Others have attempted to explain this to you as well.
Kovacs, Ben, Dale, Brude, Chris, Chad, myself and others have all explained It's a simple courtesy paid other collectors. An extremely simple concept yet you still wiggle.

My mention re: your arguing with Jeff P. and Jeff R. was your known language and name calling on NSF and MoPo in light of your comically-artful attempts to suggest to others here how to speak.

I don't agree with the concept that because one of you might be bidding on something I can't talk about it. period. You don't understand that point. If anyone on this list wishes to decide the issue definitively, that person is Holiday as he is the list owner. Ari wouldn't ban it on NSFGE and I know that Scott Burns wouldn't ban it on MoPo. It isn't banned on the biggest collector's forum in the world (CGC boards) in any area of the fields they cover from coins to comics where as I said previously, coverage of items generally goes from coming to current to finished listings and that is no matter what the value. many collectors in teh original art forum ask advice on items they're going to bid on as a amatter of fact. So here on allposter is the only time I have ever even heard of a discussion of this subject

and stop trying to be  a condescending schmuck.

and that's their prerogative Carson - to think what THEY wish to think. It's sad that you believe anyone who doesn't agree with you is wrong.. I'm not wrong, I have a different point of view than you do. Obviously your objectivity is lacking and all you see is your subjective opinion. Thankfully Holiday - the forum's co-owner - has weighed in on the matter and not surprisingly, he seems to agree with me that it is censorship. Also thankfully, you are just a moderator and before you would be able to put in place any such rule, or take a poll on the issue that would have any chance of ratification - you would need to discuss it with Holiday and it doesn't seem as if you would prevail on the issue.

Yes, Rich, it's unfortunate that certain members here refuse to engage in civil discourse and invariably resort to personal insults and start "flame wars" (http://www.albion.com/netiquette/rule7.html) to intimidate their opponents.  Ain't nothing new.

Carson clearly violated his own principle by trumpeting and hyping a "unicorn" auction.  It was not a cursory reference - as I recall, he live-blogged it for 30 minutes or so (through the end of the extended bidding period), although most of those postings have now disappeared.

The Alamo comparison is not perfect but still appropriate.  It's reasonable to contend that "BUY THIS RIGHT NOW!" postings on these forums generate a fair percentage of Alamo's sales and reduce the time period they are available, which forces interested buyers to obtain them from evil Ebay "flipppers."  Of course, those sales are also driven by other sources, Twitter, etc.  But the point is still valid.

My position has been consistent:  High profile/high dollar auctions that everybody knows about anyway should be fair game for discussion, particularly when they are being discussed on other forums and are heavily promoted by the seller.  Why ignore the 800 pound gorilla?  Conversely, low profile/low dollar auctions should NOT be discussed to give diligent buyers/searchers a fair shot at getting a bargain.

Anyway, will someone please set up a straightforward poll that will settle the issue once and for all?

I completely agree with you Mel. The bottom line here is that people find a cool item they have no personal interest in in an obscure auction, and they "out it" but they would NEVER do so if they were interested in bidding themselves.

And because such people almost always have the ability to talk out of both sides of their mouth at once, they also scream like a stuck pig when someone else outs some item THEY are interested in!

I understand you skip posts, Mel, but you may want to read back previous to posting. I've explained in just the last two pages,  as well as three months ago here (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,237.msg5746.html#msg5746) the LIT poster I linked with 2 minutes until close last March wasn't ideal; a singular instance, not a habit. I posted a single auction three months ago, with 2 minutes remaining, and your still touting it as though somehow relevant or reflects my current view. The Poll is up, vote before Rich tries to smoke it.

to move this back a step to the very beginning of this thread, I was thinking last night how since I sold that Ferris Buehler international style in January, followed up by John Reid's set sale of one immediately thereafter, I don't believe another copy has surfaced. Not at Heritage nor at Bruce and certainly not fleabay.

If I decide to put out my keeper copy, I wonder if anyone will chat it up during the auction (if ever I decide to sell it)

Post by: marklawd on June 04, 2010, 09:51:22 PM
That's because its a very rare poster. The proof is that market forces couldn't flush out any more even with two sales in excess of $1000 each. I don't think an auction would be "chatted up" because I am sure it features on a lot of "secret" want lists of members here.

I would never publicise an auction I was interested in nor seek clarification of the description or authenticity. I would rather rely on my personal judgement in the hope of buying an original at a low price. I normally get the authenticity right but sometimes I overpay. I have never publicised an auction I wasn't interested in mid-sale either although on occasion I have emailed individuals privately who I knew would be interested. I will readily admit however that I have won posters I didn't previously know about because an on-going auction was mentioned in a thread and I was grateful for that information being made public. Some collectors need to seek public reassurance about an ongoing auction - they run the risk of widening the market demand for it but if considered opinions are offered by other members they may gain the confidence to bid appropriately and win the auction. I agree with Holiday - I do not see why they should not have the freedom to post in this way - so long as it is in the appropriate thread.

Here's the BIG NEWS I referenced a few days ago, in the midst of the "mid-auction" war.

Not one, but TWO, Ferris Bueller international posters just sold in the last few minutes on UK Ebay.

Here is the link to the Ebay auction for the first poster, (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120576291879) which sold for 321 pounds ($465), and the image the seller sent me:

(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/ferrisa.jpg)

Here is the link to the Ebay auction for the second auction, (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120576298196) which sold for 218 pounds ($316) and the image the seller sent me:

(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/ferrisb.jpg)

Both were in excellent shape, although the second had two extra vertical folds and a "GY" sticker.  I snipe-bid 311 pounds for the first and 213 pounds for the second and was out-sniped in both by a competitor (w***a).

Of course I wanted to win but I bid my max and I have the consolation of owning the French one-panel of this same image, so no tears will be shed.

So who won?  I suspect a dealer got them.

Did the buyer get a good deal?  We all know that a rolled version of this sold for $1000 on MoviePosterBid a few months ago.  Was that a fluke? 
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on June 08, 2010, 10:42:58 AM
Some people do care about folds, so a little extra should be added for a rolled one.  I know Rich's gonna hate me for this, but I do believe the $1,000 was a fluke.  This is a nice poster (which I still do not own but will at some point), it draws fans of the movie (which has become a cult classic) and fans of the Ferrari 250 (which I don't own either).  I personally believe $400 would be a good price for this poster.  But the market is erratic, so another $1,000 could be in order.

Which one did you get, Mel?

Looks good.  I am surprised the French 1 panels don't get more money.  The large format is sweet and the paper is nice.  Do people have something against French posters or just the French in general?

I just picked up a French one panel for The Matrix and I like it better than the one sheet, and it was only a fraction of the price.  Now if only I can decide whether to get it linen-backed or not  :-\.  It would probably look best when framed if it were linen-backed, but I am starting to lean towards accepting the folds as there is no fold wear, and adopting the generally accepted policy of only linen-backing something that needs it.

I really love my Frenchie FB.  I think they're less expensive than the US international because (1) they are not particularly rare, (2) they are not from the "country of origin" and the text is not English, and (3) the large size increases the framing cost (although you can get a French one panel (is it one panel?) flip frame for about $150).

How 'bout showing us your Matrix poster, Neo.

Those points make sense.  

Funny you should ask about "showing us (APF) your (my) Matrix poster", I will have a new digital camera within the next week to replace my 20 year old Nikon (it was a beast in its day, but no so much anymore) and I will post some pics of my collection, including my wacky, silly framed collection  :D.

If anyone would like to know what my real name is, My name....is Neo  :D.

Thierry.. I'm not mad at anything.. Facts are facts and these two sold for considerably than the $1112 I sold the rolled one for. However, I have to think that if the seller sold one at a time instead of both simultaneously that he would have achieved a better result.

"He" is a "she" who was selling on behalf of someone else.  And that's the beauty of Ebay - you can take advantage of seller errors, like selling two at a time and not simultaneously listing it on the US Ebay.  Rich, I bet those posters would have fetched much more through your auctions (or Emovie/Heritage).  Even though your commission (25%) is slightly higher than Ebay's (10%), the seller would have done better.

I believe one of the French FB sold for $600.  The three points Mel talked about are totally relevant.  I would add to it that France is one of the top 3 US foreign markets and that there were more posters printed than the international US version.  So it's definitely not as rare.  The French pantalon (door format) is much rarer and can sell for more.  Plus, international and British posters sell on English speaking Ebays, while French posters usually pop up on French Ebay, making it more difficult for foreign buyers who don't really know what they're buying, how much shipping will cost, etc.  Thus driving the price down.  I've obviously taken advantage of this over the year (since I own close to 1,000 French posters).  But that day will end sooner than later, the day Ebay understand that foreign Ebays need to be translated and accessible to all.  I hope to own everything I need by then.

Mel.. after various other fees, and depending on if you have a 100% sell-through on listed items.. ebay's 10% works out to more than 10%

It's too bad if people are intimidated by the non-English speaking Ebay sites.  I've never had any problems conversing with the European sellers.  Many of the postings include English translations, especially in Germany, anyway.  And Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/#) works wonders.

And Rich, when are you going to auction your other FB?

And Thierry, I concede size is irrelevant to someone who has a stack of 1,000 French posters in the garage  ;D

like I told another member:

It has to be something hi on my list. A friend had a Blue Dahlia insert that I was going to ask him about for instance, but he sold it the day before I got back to him. It can be aby combination of 1) Raymond Chandler titles (check imdb 2) harryhausen - I only need from certain 50s titles 3) Fritz Lang pre-1950 titles I need 4) certain gambling posters of which I have no list

I can probably put together a list of stuff I need

I think you have ti understand what might be happening with the prices on Alamo posters

When something starts getting collected, it commonly starts at a slow pace as collectors feel their way around in any particular "new" area such as Alamo posters.

Well, you get collectors who suddenly start wanting all of them, and they begin to compete, slowly driving up prices. Then at some point, two or more of the collectors with deep pockets (well, usually deep) starts getting real excited and begin driving things up very fast as they get the emotional part of collecting (I gotta have it.. I gotta have it.. I GOTTA HAVE IT NOW!!!!!!!) and at that point, any rational thoughts that were earlier attached to what they have to pay gets thrown out the window and the concept of "if other people are willing to pay such a price, I have to be willing to pay an even higher price and the prices the other collectors want to pay shows that the sky is the limit because there is price support!"

You see that happen with "new" posters that seem to be scarce or in high demand, like Brokeback Mountain posters were. (not comparing them to Alamos, which are way better posters)

Then you have to add the clear fact that #1) there are limited numbers of the posters and #2) increasing numbers of collectors.

So you have all of the pertinent factors which drive a market present at one time. I don't know what will happen in the future (whether Alamo posters will see continued price support). But it is a possibility they will.

Orrrrrr...

You have seller(s) and buyer(s) playing games.  There was another auction for the same Blade Runner Variant that ended a day before at $900+, but that one had been bid up to over $1800, before a bid retraction.  Funny thing though, the retracted bid never became the high bidder, so why retract a non-winning bid in the first place?  Not to mention, if you were the high bidder and someone pushed up your bid to double the selling price, then you would probably be pissed that someone outed your bid.

Haha, I didn't realize anyone listens to what I have to say. There are some cool Star Wars posters for sure and I don't think anyone who picks up a few is classified as a dork but there are a lot of those Star Wars Freaks out there and when it comes to their beloved movies they act like whack jobs. It's this crowd that makes me cautious about jumping in. Plus there are a ton of other posters I want more and I hate starting something I don't think I can finish any time soon. This is why I've held off on getting crazy into the Bond posters because have too many other collections to finish off first.

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/thursday/550/japanese_b1_amelie_AT00278_L.jpg)

I thought I'd missed the boat on that one and was happy with the B2 I have of it. It'll go nicely with the Green-style B1 I was able to snag last year.

I also grabbed the two Inglourious Basterds B1s at reasonable prices too. I gave up bidding on the Deathproof B1, Pan's Labyrinth B1 and the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Ohrai art) B1. Until another day!

That is an extraordinary price for that poster.  I won't even tell you what I paid for it years ago.  Just make sure when you get it, not that Bruce would allow such a thing but shit happens anyway, that you measure it to confirm that it is not undersized at all.  That B1 has been reprinted a lot.  When you get it, you'll know immediately just by the feel of the paper - heavy matte stock.  Assuming it's authentic, and I have no doubt it is - just double check - that poster was probably the steal of the auction.

I managed to snag the Amelie 'bed' B1 for what I think is a decent price ($130).

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/thursday/550/japanese_b1_amelie_AT00278_L.jpg)

I thought I'd missed the boat on that one and was happy with the B2 I have of it. It'll go nicely with the Green-style B1 I was able to snag last year.

I also grabbed the two Inglourious Basterds B1s at reasonable prices too. I gave up bidding on the Deathproof B1, Pan's Labyrinth B1 and the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Ohrai art) B1. Until another day!

Holiday, I was very shocked when it didn't climb up and over the $200-250 mark. I do trust Bruce, but of course I started wondering if other bidders knew something I didn't just by looking at the hi-res image.

I've dug out a couple of authentication links for this poster:

Authentication guide on Erich's Posterdemic blog: http://www.japanesepostergallery.com/2009/05/03/collecting-guides/amelie-b1-japanese-movie-poster-authentication/ (http://www.japanesepostergallery.com/2009/05/03/collecting-guides/amelie-b1-japanese-movie-poster-authentication/) - I've checked the points as much as I can without having the poster in hand and it's looking good.

Steve (Dsonesheets) used to have an authentication page, but that's no longer active. I did find this on MPF: http://www.movieposterforum.com/index.php/topic/4068-japanese-amelie-b1-poster (http://www.movieposterforum.com/index.php/topic/4068-japanese-amelie-b1-poster) where the measurements are mentioned a few times. 28.5x40.5 inches, which is what it's listed as in the auction.

I'm extremely happy with the win!

I think you were just in the right place at the right time.  Erich's authentication is exactly correct.  As I said, you'll know as soon as you put your hands on it if it's the right thing.  I actually think I have Steve's authentication somewhere in the bowels of my harddrive, but it's irrelevant, really.  Erich's is all you need.  Let us know!

There was a pretty sweet Dazed and Confused poster that sold for about $250, which according to Carson's well written post in the Unicorns thread (that somehow got deleted  :-\) was a good deal.  One of my favorite movies, but I passed on it because I had mixed feelings spending that kind of dough on a print.  http://cgi.ebay.com/DAZED-AND-CONFUSED-FRANK-KOZIK-POSTER-/300439522134?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f3974b56 (http://cgi.ebay.com/DAZED-AND-CONFUSED-FRANK-KOZIK-POSTER-/300439522134?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f3974b56)

Yeah, it's not the unicorn 27x41 video poster but it's still cool.  There's another signed one on Ebay as a "Buy It Now" for $400.

Thanks for the link to the post about the links.

I had my eye on the $400 B.I.N. for about a week, and it sold this morning for $300.  Although it's not the unicorn, it still is pretty cool.  Carson's post was very informative on the one in the auctions and the unicorn, and it was cool to see a poster that is not the run of the mill style studio or NSS one-sheet.  Maybe someday I will decide to buy one and do a whole black-light room like my college dorm, with a bunch of wild and crazy posters, and hopefully the price won't be through the roof on it  :P.

This one is in my German size frame. I picked up a new camera( cheap but better than my phone) and a picasa account. Now to find a new a photographer.

No I didn't get those - I've more than enough regular movie posters for a lifetime.  The only thing I'm buying now are Alamos - and I'm VERY late to that party!

But that's great you're starting German and Australian daybill collections.  I'm sure the Aussies on the board will be very pleased....

Goldfinger Alamo (mint condition) sold for $450 Buy It Now this morning (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120594022583) to a private bidder.  I can't believe it lasted three days at that price.  I almost bought it because it's worth 2-3 times that but I elected to go with something else - more on that later....

Sniping just turns auctions into "Make an Offer"... The best offer in those last 10 seconds wins

Yeah, that Rocky I drive-in poster has to be very rare but I prefer the yellow "fight style" for Rocky II:

Right you are and I corrected my earlier post.  BTW what is going on at Heritage? A lot of stuff did not sell and is on "Buy Now" status. Fortunately, I'm wiped out at the moment so I ain't in the "fight."

This Paris Champagne is 23.5" X 31.5".  I have the 47" x 63" version folded up in storage... You are motivating me to dig it up and check it out again. When I received mine, I was a little dissapointed the colours were a bit flat. It is nice artwork, and I collect posters only for the artwork.

Yes, it's a looking a bit bedraggled.  I've tried perking it up a bit in Photoshop, giving the title more pizzazz, and restoring the original vibrant colors:

Yeah, I bought one, they obviously have not learned you do not post 8 of the same title if you want to stretch the bid on something. There is no other competition on the title, so they are shooting themselves in the foot, but I dont care, makes for some cheap posters for me.

It's possible the kooky charm derives from the subliminally large "package" the monster carries with him.

Yeah, prices at Emovie sometimes defy logic. Those S2 art group reproductions they sold tonight were fantastic - I wanted one but lost interest after it surpassed $200.  Of course a two second Google search would have revealed that you can still buy many of them direct from the original S2 Art Group/Jack Gallery (not really sure the relationship)  (http://www.jackgallery.com/page.php?page=catalog&type=collection&collectionID=8&productTypeID=1) for $325.  Yet these Emovie bidders bid them some of them up past $325:

I don't always go for the bidding war, but this guy just pissed me off in so many ways.  I didn't want to pay that either, but I just had a feeling about this one that I didn't want to let it get away.  I searched pretty far and wide and was not able to locate another, not even folded.

Bidding is really an art sometimes.  If you put in a high bid up front, someone like me can come along and inch it up just for shits and giggles.  If you go back and forth in increments, it can give the other guy the feeling that he's almost about to bump me out.  Sometimes, like this one, I just get fed up and say fuck you -you're not getting this. And that, of course, makes Bruce very happy.

Mel, I get more and more impressed with your ability to datamine as the days go by.  I didn't even think to look.  The one I was interested in was Thief of Bagdad.  I did not see what it went for tonight, but it's gone for higher than the 325 in the past.  My Boy is Growing Up!

AS you likely know I have a vast collection of pressbooks, and it is rare that a good one comes along that I don't have.

When one does, I often bite the bullet and pay what I have to to get it.

Then I hold my breath, hoping someone doesn't offer another one right away, because it may go for half what I just paid, but sometimes that DOES happen, and you learn to live with it.

I know exactly how you feel.  Fortunately, that doesn't happen too often.  I rarely get buyer's remorse, and the fact is that the poster we were just fighting over is worth it in terms of:  a) being very cool; and b) being rolled even though a 1988 movie.  As much as a hothead as I can be, I would spend a crazy amount just to beat the other guy.  It's just not as good a deal as it could have been....

On the S2s, those places that still list them for $325 say "subject to availability". I guess you could contact them and confirm they still have them. I do know that when these were first made around 1999 to 2002 they made like 100 of each, but when those sold out they made something like ten at a time (because they use a 100 year old press and there is no value to doing lots of them), and I don't know that they are still making them at all.

Whenever you see people pay more to us for items you may well be able to find elsewhere for slightly less (or sometimes a lot less) you have to remember that people have to weigh the "aggravation factor", the chance that they will get cheated in some way, or that the item will be damaged due to sub-sufficient packaging, that it is over-graded, rip-off shipping, etc. They KNOW there is next-to-no chance of those things happening with us, AND that if they have the slightest problem we will make it right.

And yes, I agree that everyone SHOULD check our Sales Results Database on every item BEFORE they bid (to get both a sense of rarity and previous sales records) and that they SHOULD check all over the Internet to see if they are offered for sale anywhere, but not everyone has the time for this, especially if they might bid on dozens of items.

Over the years, some people have seen an item going high in one of our auctions and have found it "for sale" somewhere else, only to later get told it was already sold and the site was not updated, or that the price was no longer good due to the high eMoviePoster.com result!

I understand not wanting to pay too much, but it takes LOTS and LOTS of work to help keep that from happening, and sometimes today's great deal turns into tomorrow's latest rip-off story. You have the time and energy to do lots of research, and for that I applaud you.

One last thing on the S2s. I notice that some of the people who paid more than $325 for one also got one for LESS than $325, and that balances out. Sure they could only get the discount one and try to hunt down the other one somewhere else, but that means two shipping charges, and two packages that could get damaged, and some people don't have the mindset to think that is worthwhile.

People WILL often pay a premium to places that give great customer service, and look for a discount from places that have non-existent customer service.

But I can't help noticing that buyers only focus on the items we have that go HIGH. There really were some really great deals, more so in Tuesday's auctions, and it was the "smart shoppers" who closely looked over every item who got those great deals.

Guys, how much intelligence does it take to type in "S2 Art Group" into the Google search box thingamajiggy!  Tain't rocket science  hitself

I'm not slighting Emovieposter.  It's obvious many of the bidders there ONLY bid on Emovie for whatever reasons (convenience, quality service, time saving, etc.) and make no effort to look elsewhere and are willing to pay extra.  Good for them.  Scavengers like me are willing to take the time/effort/risk to save money.

More than I have!  I guess what I mean is the assumption as Bruce puts it that these are not available through regular retail channels any longer.  But there you go ... assumptions.....

This is pretty funny... someone just won the original Hitler wall mural from Inglourious Basterds for $200 (http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8102964)!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/born2create2/inglourious_basterds_10.png)

It turns out it was actually a poster... it says the shipping size is a 14' tube!  If that is the width, I wonder how tall that basterd is?


EDIT: Donnie's bat also sold for $3700 (http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8010063).  That would pretty cool (if a bit morbid), but price of props usually blows me away.  If I think of what posters I could buy for $3700 I quickly lose interest!

Right now, I have about 25,000 UNSORTED pressbooks in around 150 large boxes! A few years ago I sorted through almost all the ones I had from the 1960s, and I discovered I was missing next to nothing. I would estimate that I have around 75% of the 1950s, around 50% of the 1940s around one third of the 1930s, and around 25% of the 1920s. But until I find the time to sort them all out, they will remain true "buried treasure"!

Bruce.. this is not correct. I've seen them printing them and they have to make at least 25-50 to bother mixing the inks (which is don't by hand) and to cover the costs. I can ask Jack next time I go down there.

availability however is the issue. There are lots of them that they don't have anymore and probably will not reprint because demand was low for many titles. Some of those original print runs I'll bet they still have some titles which sold poorly. Obviously, the horror titles are some other toip titles are not among them

Post by: kovacs01 on November 07, 2010, 09:25:15 PM
Tell you a little story relating to giant pieces of Nazi memorabilia that, Harry..............

This happened about 5 or 6 years ago when I lived in Oklahoma City.  One of my friends used to have this huge power boat, maybe 24 feet long or so.  He had taken it to the shop to have some work done on it in the off season.  While there, the leaf springs on one side of the trailer it was sitting on which were rusted out finally gave way.  The fender on that side of the trailer were sitting on the tire, so it wasnt going anywhere.  So my two chucklehead friends call me at about 930pm on a cold, rainy friday night in late november desperate for some help (ie. tools) so they could get the leaf springs replaced and tow the boat home.  This was a pretty seedy neighborhood in Oklahoma City, near the fairgrounds (arent all fairgrounds in big cities in the ghetto?) so they couldnt leave it sitting there out overnight.  So I show up down there with what I thought were the right tools.  Turns out one of the sockets I had was not quite deep enough to do the job.  So I look across the street and there an auto shop, obviously closed at this time.  But, connected to the auto shop was an unmarked shop of some kind with a glass door and a light on inside.  So I thought maybe it was an office to the auto shop.  In a moment of brilliance, I thought I would walk over there and see if htey had a socket that would work.  Well, i went an knocked on the door, and someone yelled come in.  I walk in to this place and the floors are all concrete, which wasn't too surprising.  There were a bunch of 40-50 something white trash dudes wearing dirty meshback caps and a couple of their ladies sitting around on metal folding chairs drinking boxed wine and smoking cheap cigs.  Kinda odd at 930 on a Friday night in a place like that, right?  But what really made me almost shit my britches was the bigger than fucking Canada Nazi war flag on the wall behind them.  I mean the damn thing took up the whole wall and was dragging the floor.  It must have been 20 feet tall and a good 50 feet long, and had autographs and crap all over it.  I looked around a little more and there was all kinds of Nazi memorabilia in the place.  Some Nazi knives sitting on a table next to me, and a map of Germany on another wall along with a bunch of other crap.  So I am thinking I had just interrupted a damn OKC neo-nazi chapter shindig.  I was having visions of meeting the gimp from Pulp Fiction and looking for a quick extraction from the situation.  All of the folks had stupid grins on their faces asking how they could help me.  I took a deep breath and thought, ok, I have blonde hair and blue eyes so I am not going to be hanging from the rafters here as long as they aren't too hammered on the $8 white zinfandel.  Well, one of them must have sensed my panic because they said oh, no, its not what it looks like.  Turns out the place was indeed owned by the same guy that ran the auto-shop, and he was an auctioneer on the side.  Days earlier, an old WWII vet (Army Colonel) had passed away and his wife was auctioning all of his memorabilia/war trophies to pay for the funeral.  They had parts from old WWII planes and tanks, Kosak war swords, photos of battlefield action and R&R time, guns of all types, you name it.  I just didnt notice any of the other stuff because of that gimp image in my head.  The giant Nazi flag was taken from a French town they reclaimed from the Nazis, and the autographs were all of the men in the battalion that led the operation.  In the end, not only did they have the socket, but they helped us fix the trailer, also.  Anyway, I am not sure there was a point to that story, except that your comment about the giant Hitler banner brought back memories.

High:

Maybe the lobby cards jacked this one up:

I sure as hell wasn't going to let it go at his 280 starting bid.  I was in to 525.  Above that I could live with.  Considering that this is the first public surfacing of this poster in the years that I have been around, to my knowledge, I do agree it could and should go higher.  I guess the other person that really really wanted it that badly wasn't around today (whoever that may be).

Well, it's the same image as on the US one sheet, so what's the big deal?  You can get Scarlett SS original one sheets on Ebay for $75 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Lost-Translation-2003-set-2-movie-posters-/150530965634) and DS copies for $100-$200 when they pop up for auction.  You could buy a couple dozen other extremely cool and unique B1 posters for that money, like the Amelie B1.

It's the same as asking what's the big deal with the Amelie Red B1.  LIT is a great movie, and that scene is one of the great ones.  Helps also that the movie is set in Japan.  However you slice it, if you collect Japanese posters, it's one of the rare ones of all rare ones, for a modern poster that is. If you don't collect B1's, then it doesn't matter.  I'll tell you this, though, I have both the ds onesheet and the B1, and the B1 is hands down the better of the posters.

You were going to shell out $525 for a SECOND copy?  Man, you are a fan! (Or you're trying to "corner the market" in LIT B1s!)

Not to corner the market, but to make sure the market didn't get hurt by a fluke selling too low because my own copy did not come cheaply!

Truly Mel, if you have a chance to pick up a copy for a price that suits you, you will not be disappointed, and I know you'll agree with my assessment when you're literally holding Scarlet in your hands.  :)

It's called price supporting.  B1 fans will be doing a lot of it in near term, I suspect...

think where they were printed for, the population of those areas, and as such the print run, compared to Quads that were made for the UK.
AND some of these areas had their own posters,
EG look at NZ censor stamps and snipes on UK 1 Sheets, NZ also used Aussie posters, Ive seen Aussie stamps on UK material.
So.... of course there are less, there are less of us, and less posters needed.
I love UK 1 Sheets, the paper quality and print quality is sometimes awesome, compared to US 1 sheets.

Would you guys please stop this!  First T buying multiple copies to keep things rare and now this!   ;D

Even if something sells for a below average price on eBay, it is not going to affect prices at HA or eMovie.  There is no archive and even if there was, there are so many fakes or deals that fell through that it wouldn't make sense to use that as a bar.  Just because you paid for the nose on something doesn't mean you need to make everyone else do the same...

Only once in awhile, and I don't feel so bad because it sold for well above what I was in for.  Had it sold for 530 and I was in for 525, then it's different, but it sold for over 700.  That's a true market value.

I won a LIT B1 on ebay about 6 years ago for about $200 but the seller never sent despite me paying, I had to get a paypal refund.

If anyone wants to pay £1k for my Trainspotting quad as in that Christies auction, please PM me ;D It's a terrific film and that art and poster campaign is very iconic in the UK, but they aren't exactly super rare.

I sure as hell wasn't going to let it go at his 280 starting bid.  I was in to 525.  Above that I could live with.  Considering that this is the first public surfacing of this poster in the years that I have been around, to my knowledge, I do agree it could and should go higher.  I guess the other person that really really wanted it that badly wasn't around today (whoever that may be).

Hi Holiday,

That other person was me, and you're right, i wasn't about for the auction final. I bid what i thought was a realistic and fair market value for this ultra rare beauty. I love the movie and japanese posters, so I thought it worth it. Someone obviously agrees with us, and i was out-gunned in this case. I have the B2, so wasn't desperate, but if i'd have landed the B1 at my maximum bid, i'd have been very happy.

Hats off to the winner, a great poster indeed.

I don't own that many Japanese posters and I usually only get them if the art is different.  Although I'd love to own one of these, I'd never spend remotely as much as what people, including Holiday, are willing to spend, simply because the design is identical to the US poster.  Spending 1k + on a Kill Bill desert, I get, but $700 for this one, regardless of rarity, baffles me a little.

I understand your point T.

However, for me, it's about the rarity and the Japanese connection of this Tokyo based movie. I see no difference between this example and the high prices commanded by The "ET Bicycle 1-sheet" 41" versus 40.5". Same poster art, but an extra 1/2" around the border gonna cost ya. Why?

Rarity.

I've never seen another LIT B1 for sale since 1st revealed in Holidays amazing collection. I would bid a similar price should another copy become available, however I fear the wait will be extensive.

For me, it's just one of those rare items that feeds the hunt.

Now the "Kill Bill Desert" on the other hand combines rarity with unique art. That combination will command a higher price than the LIT B1.

Very rare international American Werewolf in London one sheet. In typical Ebay style went from $50 to $313 in the last 15 seconds, way past my $115 bid.  Went for $600+ on Heritage this year.

Anybody other than Thierry have this?

No dice.  I pushed the bid to $310, but some one got it for a few bucks more.  Damn.  I appreciate you laying off on this one T so I would at least stand a chance.

I bought mine for $137 in 2007.  But because AAWIL is one of my favorite movies of the 80s and I'm still missing a few pieces on the title, I've been checking Ebay regularly since and haven't seen this poster pop up again.  So when you said $300, I thought that it'd be a great buy, but I also knew it could go much higher.  I don't think I would have bid more, probably $200 since I already own it.  I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next one for you.

For some reason I think I might have that poster but I can't remember for sure. I know when I made my website I have over 400 posters and I was sure I missed something in my collection. Actually I felt I missed about 5 to 10 posters but wasn't sure. Now it is a pain in the ass to go looking for stuff, which sucks because I'm probably going to have to go looking for it to confirm if I have it or not. But if for some reason I don't have it, then that will be a big waste of time. Jeez - this is why you don't wait until you have too many posters to keep up with before you start your website. It will get out of control and you can't keep up with everything.

Yeah, I remember thinking the red blood splattered wolf is a lot better in person than in a picture. That is why I was sure I had that poster. I remember it laying in my floor and thinking about the blood looking better in person than on the stock photo. Thankfully I found it because if not then I would probably need to check myself into a hospital.

Although I did find some tubes of Alamo Posters today that I forgot I had in the process. I just have too much stuff.

That seems like an awful lot for that particular style Mel... any reason you so intent on buying it at $200 instead of waiting for it to come up for a proper auction (low starting price)?  It is not even the domestic version (marked DOM and has 'M' rating).

I also missed out on a poster tonight... but I lost this one fair and square.  I would normally bid higher, but Mark caught me a tight time with some recent purchases and the holidays coming up.  I think this is by far the best english-language poster I've seen for this film... even better than the too-action-y quad.  Enjoy your spoils!

If anyone comes across one of these again, I would appreciate a heads up.

Hey, HC, what is the story with the missing rating box on the non-domestic Style A? (I already have an Italian sheet similar to B, so I want the A). Why is that less valuable? All the three sheets for the style A lack the ratings box but most of the one sheets do have it.  I saw on MOPO that people have mentioned that the version with the ratings box is more valuable.  That poster usually sells for $250+ at auctions, so $199 was not unreasonable it seems.

Check eMovies archives... there are both DOM and FOR stamped poster (back stamp so not visible).  The DOM posters have an 'M' rating in the lower right.  As per usual, domestic posters go for more (think east v. west hemi on the early Moore Bonds).  Be sure to check the prices as well... DOMs are usually a bit over $100, FOR are typically less... if buying on eBay (especially in this economy) I probably wouldn't bid over $75 on a DOM style A. 

Style B is typically more desirable as it shows the iconic and climatic scene... the quad much more so as the artwork is in color instead of monochrome.  Even style B's seem to be trending downward over the last year or so.  They used to sell for $500-$800... I've seen a few on eBay over the last year sell for around $200.

Holy crap!  I was actually really interested in those but I only bid in the $30's before finding out I won my 7 Samurai quad.  Unfortunately that meant I  quit bidding on everything tonight.  I can't believe how much these ended up selling for!  Looks like Mark and I have very similar tastes...

They are very cool and a must for a Kubrick fan... definitely the best paper I've seen for this underrated film.

These all say "FINAL ONE SHEET" in the left corner - which is unusual - so I'm wondering if they are prototypes or the "international" advance posters that were actually used?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Harry Caul on December 17, 2010, 10:07:42 AM
Actually, only the poster with both 'masks' says "FINAL ONE SHEET".  The other two posters both say "TEASER ONE SHEET". This looks like it could be a whole campaign that was scrapped or something.  What ever they are, they seem exceedingly rare. 

If you know more about them Mark we would love to hear it!

From Taschens wonderful "The Stanley Kubrick Archives", in reference to the 2 mask portrait poster:

"EWS30 - This proposal for the films poster, designed by Katherine Kubrick Hobbs and Christiane Kubrick, was rejected in favour of the design  more clearly showing the films stars"

Scrapped campaign. Very nice posters IMO, and a mistake not to be the main campaign posters, which are entirely dull across the board.

Harry, the book is magnificent. If you love Kubrick, hunt down a 1st edition copy, this comes with a 70mm film strip from one of Kubricks own 2001 print reels.

It's a monster of a book, that does justice to the Director Genius.

EDIT: By the way, have you seen this?  I can't believe this was released intact... including the 17,000 images you get access to online!  I have to go take a cold shower now.

No Harry, I didn't take the plunge on the Napoleon collection. Way too expensive, and the Archives book already covered this enough for me. I didn't quite like the presentation either.

I'm more interested in the films he made and not the one's he didn't. Don't like to dwell on that too much, as he made too few films as it was.

I was pleased I was able to get all 3 of the Eyes Wide Shut posters. I had to bid agressively and while they were an awful lot of money I feel sure they will seem a bargain in years to come. I love Kubrick's films and as Holiday observes I do have an interest in rarer alternative styles of poster - these are a fine example. Whilst I have that superb Taschen book I didn't think of looking at it prior to the auction although I realised these must have been posters that were pulled and never distributed.

I contacted the consignor, but since I knew he had worked at Warner Bros for many years, it was easy to guess at the answer, as you folks have. The consignor got them when the movie was being planned, because he thought they "looked interesting".

He only got the one set, and he is going to check with other people who worked there at that time to see if anyone else got these, but he doubts it.

I had a similar consignor a few years back who was the daughter of a man who had worked at Universal for many years, and he had a bunch of unusual design one-sheets on Universal movies that I had never seen before. I think they would make these prototypes and then choose a final version and only a few of these "rejected" styles survive.

Congratulations, Mark. I think you got something super-special, and I am glad they are staying together.

Don't know if envy is the right word.  The set found its way to the right collector.  With the kind of stuff Mark collects, and the rarity of what he puts together one sheet at a time (all pun intended), I'm hopeful that he'll one day compile a book of images to bring some of this stuff out into the light.  It's nice to know that after all of these years, and even with a huge name like Kubrick, that unseen posters still come out of the woodwork from time to time.

Heritage sold one at the height of the poster season (meaning 2006-2008 when a couple buyers were spending $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$).
http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=633&Lot_No=28979

price was short of 7500 or something in the range of 5-6k for the average seller
so the $5788 bid should have resulted in a sale.

Interesting Rich.  I hadn't seen that sales result before, and I guess I just assumed that a 40x60 price would be well above that of the one sheet due to the increased rarity.  I guess it might have been a bad assumption, since that price is right in line with what a one sheet would go for.

not only what you said, but you have other things to consider

#1 size - most collectors don't buy oversized posters, so prices reduce to that
#2 time frame offered.. it may have done much better in spring 2008
#3 not the poster most people are looking for on FP

rarity doesn't always transfer to price result

Agreed, it's great that the set ended up with a true Kubrick admirer. However, as Mark said he had to bid quite agressively to land the set, therefore I guess a number of individuals may be suffering some degree of poster envy on being so close, but missing out on such unusual pieces.

Yeah, but 3 sheets are a completely different animal than 40x60s.  Aside from being 20% smaller, 40x60s generally come rolled and on card stock, and they are one piece meaning that one in decent shape needs no backing for display.  Also, I have no way to prove this, but I think the colors are richer on 40x60s.  Others agree with me, and it just seems like the printing is a higher quality.  Maybe it has to do with how the cardstock takes the ink.

I thought the old 30x40s and 40x60s were screen printed... no?  I love some of the designs, but I would actually claim the opposite -- that the printing quality does not look as good as the standard paper (1,3,6 sheets).  Then again, I've never seen one in person and I know silkscreen, if done correctly, can look very rich.  It is just usually not as detailed.

Post by: kovacs01 on December 31, 2010, 12:19:06 PM
I am not sure when they stopped screen printing them, and I may be wrong, but I do not think they were screen printed in 1956.  The newer ones definitely are not screen printed.  At least none of the ones I have are, ranging in years from Fistful of Dollars to Road Warrior.  The only ones I have seen side by side for comparison is my Mad Max 40x60 next to a Max Max 1sh and Road Warrior 30x40 next to a Road Warrior one sheet.  To my eye, the card stock printings look much better.  I just do not have the motivation to get the others in the one sheet format because of the cost.  I have seen the Blade Runner next to a Blade Runner rerelease, but thats not really a fair comparison.

price was short of 7500 or something in the range of 5-6k for the average seller
so the $5788 bid should have resulted in a sale.

Rich, who were the "super buyers" during those years?  I have noticed that prices were somewhat higher then but I thought it was just the better economy then.

Mel, there were some specific buyers spending beau coup bux and who have since slowed down.
One was represented by "bidder #2" at Heritage and must have spent at least $20million in 2-3 years. Might even been as much as $40mil

the absence of such bidders brings prices down to the reality of the greater % of buyers

Mel, it really comes down to numbers. The Stout basic run was twice as large, throw in the shitty variant as additional numbers and it is 3 times as many in the market. In addition, there are many that prefer Moss's style to Stout's. Anything these two do the flipper vulture hover to milk it as much as possible. Supply and demand is showing the lower count on the Moss run to be the one to own right now.

some of them were well known bidders Bruce.. For instance, a well known horror collector was bidding up well past his own "top bids" to make the other guy pay through the nose for stuff he wasn't going to win. Things we have all done in some situations.

Good catch Neo.  I didn't realize how infrequently it comes up for auction.  I couldn't find a prior auction on Emovie, only one on Heritage (for $2500 in 2006), and one at Christies ($2000).  So $600 may have been a bargain for that.  LBing would fix most of the issues, except for the trim.

It would probably be impossible to predict how it would look after being restored, but I honestly don't know how much of an improvement would be made from a good restoration.  Maybe someday I will score a poster like that and see what kind of magic can be performed on it.

I've had a tough time buying too.  There's obviously a lot more people running after Bruce's auctions than there has been. Good for Bruce, though!  Here's one that really surprised me:

(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad123/hhrussell/future_general_JM01637_L.jpg)

It sold for $327.  True, it's a great advertising poster and I ran at it hard to get it, but when I can't win something, that's really saying that it's getting hard.  Not many would chase a poster as long as I will in an auction if I really want it.

I keep telling myself what Thierry says - be patient and it'll come along cheaper. I've spent a lot on a poster only to have it come up again in a few weeks and sell for a 10th or less than it first did when everyone thought it would not come around again.

Very interesting insight. I just wonder what JAWS1975 does for a living for so much disposable income. I also noticed a bidder with the id HIJAWS1975. Pretty funny.

It appears someone got this Goonies for a steal (if it is the real deal) $28!

That Goonies is the real thing.

The price is a deal for sure, but to be honest, most one sheets in this style are rolled, and can be had for at or around $100.  I sold a few over a year ago for $75 a pop (all rolled).  Regardless, I think that explains the price on the folded one here...who wants those creases in this particular instance?

Conor, sorry...no map style.

Creases bother me on the more recent glossy paper stock (70s and up) because the paper flakes off much easier and the lines stick out more...to me, anyway.  I have a rolled mint Spy Who Loved Me OS...cannot imagine owning it folded, I think it would ruin that design, but that is just me.  It varies by the poster, of course.

eBay fudges the ratings for its giant sellers. The negs and neutrals get "neutralized" in some way that can't be done for ordinary sellers. Just one more perk of being a Diamond Seller! It is regularly discussed on eBay discussion boards (but it you are too blunt about how you talk about it, you get banned for life from their boards, as I was).

eBay was founded on the principles that people are basically good, and all sellers are equal. Now you are only good if you agree with eBay, and all sellers are still equal, but some are more equal than others. Pierre would be rolling in his grave, if he weren't still alive.

oh Bruce.. to add to that.. when the fleaBay bru-ha-ha on my original high fb sellers account blew up (assholes cut me off for another stupid thing [super-long story], I needed to show them receipts for anything I wanted to sell etc - a mirror of your own issues in some ways) I never took the time to reopen the account, because I didn't care. I even had an outstanding balance I hadn't paid (not very much)

well, fleaBay was so desperate  for new sellers, a fleaBay rep called me up out of the blue  and asked me if I wanted to start selling again and they cancelled out my old balance and removed the stupid notes for why they cut my account to make me feel better. Of course, I told them no, and that account is still closed.

I might have reopened it if I had time to list stuff just to redirect to MPB, but I don't have any extra time so I didn't bother. Surprisingly, I think fleaBay has actually "stemmed the flow of blood" pretty much. But everyone still hates them

I actually do not know for sure what this poster is.  The "Soundtrack" name comes from Dan Rickard, who had done an authentication of the Titanic posters way back then.  That's what he called it.  But I don't know for sure how he got the info.  Since I couldn't find anything on it, that's what I called it.  What I know, however, is that the poster was released at the time of the movie, that it is authentic (since I got mine straight from Paramount at the time), that its design is unique and that it has become quite rare.  Whatever it is, I think the price it reached is right.

It doesn't seem like a soundtrack poster because it says in small print at the bottom "Soundtrack Available from Sony" and "Read The Book" etc.  Very similar to the known international (top):

I'm pretty sure my copy of this Titanic poster came from Dan - I know it as the International "I promise" style and I believe it was not used because of the spoiler image. It is definitely from an early print run because Gloria Stuart's name is missing from the credits (this was added in later print runs for other styles but not this one). It is the rarest Titantic poster and I think the winner of Bruce's auction will be happy with the price he paid.

That's interesting, Mark.  So it could be from a scrapped campaign.  I never noticed it was missing Stuart's name.  I remember Dan's auction on this poster, and he was selling it as a soundtrack poster.  Where did you get the international "I Promise" name?

From an earlier auction description on ebay. I preferred to adopt that style description as I could never understand why it was a soundtrack poster.

Couldn't find a thread on Mondo or Olly Moss posters/prints, and honestly I did search ;D

Thought there'd be a bit more buzz about the posters released today? I really like the Rocky, On the Waterfront and Jackie Brown but only got the JB. Love Olly's posters, did anyone else get any?

Or if there's a thread on this just direct me quick smart with a wrap around the ear :-\

Wow, good for Bruce. 

I had about 20 lobby card sets I wanted to bid on, but when I saw the amount of money they were selling for, I passed on all but 2.  I don't know if I'm cheap (which I am) or if lobby cards suddenly gained in value, but I couldn't force myself to spend that much money on them.

Harry and Thierry. NO ONE has these cards from better movies of the past 10 years. The big question is where they are actually used, and why they still make them.

Every so often someone sends me some of these and they go for more and more.

If anyone knows anything about them, post it here. But if anyone has any they would be willing to let go of, just send them to me to auction for you!

They are higher, but not massively higher. Unless a bunch of these show up, the prices may continue to rise.

Try to find a Toy Story one-sheet. No problem, and there would be no problem finding 100 of them.

But try and find that lobby set at any price!

The last set I saw come through US theaters was for Fantasia's 1990 re-release.  I know that Suncoast Video sold sets for films like Bram Stokers Dracula and Nightmare Before Christmas that I assumed to be commercial releases.  I assumed later sets were for international distribution, as Mr. Brie said.

So how about a thread to discuss unusual, unexpected, and/or outrageous auction results AFTER they are over?

IMHO no one should discuss a PENDING auction - the spoils should go to those who take the time to find the good auction deals!

So let's start with one that just ended a few minutes ago on movieposterbid.com

Ferris Bueller International one sheet for $1,112 - WTF!

Huh? Someone want to explain that?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a classic that will transcend generations, the fact that the best artwork is on a unicorn one sheet (this particular one being in great condition), and from a trusted seller, then voila.  :D

I spoke to the Department Head and it sounded like he didn't know the real value of the pieces because prior to the auction he explained to me that he had been informed of the Goldfinger poster pulling in £4,000-5,000 at another auction house.

What do you think of the prices they went for?

the Dr No had a few issues, but they were in pretty good condition.

Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: AdamCarterJones on March 10, 2011, 02:03:15 PM
Yeah, they were in good condition.
Some of the nicest unrestored pieces I've seen in a while.

Regarding the price results - when you add the commission on I think they were ok; I wouldn't say too light, though.
If they had been sent to Christies, they would have been linen backed and restored beforehand, potentially fetching a little more, but getting gear into Christies is ridiculously difficult!

Did you bid on any of it, P?
I went after one or two, but lost out lol!

I have the OS version of this and picked it up for less than $50. The insert format works well with this image but doesn't justify anything close to $555.

Anyone else bid in this auction today?  Just search on "poster" and you can see a handful of choice movie posters were auctioned off today...

http://www.proxibid.com/asp/Catalog.asp?aid=36413



I won the In a Lonely Place French 1-panel (been after this one for a long whiel) and the Touch of Evil Belgian.

(http://www.proxibid.com/AuctionImages/2261/36413/209.jpg) (http://www.proxibid.com/AuctionImages/2261/36413/190.jpg)




My bid wasn't even close on the Vertigo 1-sheet though.  And while I didn't bid on the TCAT 3-sheet, someone got a helluva deal at $250 + 17% BP!  I'm also regretting not bidding on the Italian poster below... I've never even heard of the movie, but that poster is just stunning.  A great buy at $117 IMO!

As long as you promise not to bid on my big French Bogies... you've got a deal... for next time  ;)

I'm not too worried about authenticity on this lot... all of them have receipts from Posteritati, Reel Poster Gallery, Filmposters.net, etc... and were bought in just the last few years.  That said, what I'm not sure about is whether or not it has been restored or backed.  They wouldn't take it out of the frame prior to bidding.  I also need to figure out if I should try to ship the Bogart framed for probably a few hundred or spend a few hundred try to re-frame it once it arrives...

All I do know for sure, is that some poor sucker in Midland, TX must have lost his ass prospecting oil or something... I can't imagine he'd be doing anything else out there in the middle of nowhere.  The bank probably foreclosed on him just as oil prices were rebounding in the last month!

It's a deal on the Bogies - you just leave the Aussie paper to me...

And it looks like you got a great deal on the In a Lonely Place - it sold for twice that in 2005 Heritage: http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=624&Lot_No=28674

I wonder if it's the same poster as this is the only sales record I could find?

In my opinion, I would pay the extra to have it shipped (carefully!) in the frame given the size - it will surely be a pain in the ass to try and reframe it!

(http://www.proxibid.com/AuctionImages/2261/36413/211a.jpg)
 

I'm amazed that this poster sold for only 117.00  (inc the BP) :o
It's a beautiful poster, for sure.

Someone scored, in a BIG way! The linen backing cost alone for that size poster would have been over 100.00.

Yeah, that's not too shabby.  He also sold a real nice looking rolled Hildebrandt quad for the same price.  But wait...there's more 8)! Still has 74 insanely rare Star Wars posters ending over the next few days.  The number of extremely rare Star Wars posters he has is incredible.  I can't imagine the temptations Star Wars collectors must go through when they see he is having an auction.  ;D  (Gif needed)

They seem like such a small part of the movie and the overall Star Wars universe and they're not even cool. You have a beautiful piece of romantic artwork of Han Solo and Leia sharing a passionate moment and to the foreground is an enormous voyeuristic Taun Taun. It absolutely ruins the US poster for me. Even that blue version with more characters has a big stupid Taun Taun on it. WHY WERE TAUN TAUNS SO VITAL TO THAT MOVIE'S PROMOTION?

Clearly, as suggested, it was to appeal to the rural male market.

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on March 23, 2011, 05:49:01 PM
I can answer your question!!
for those that don't know, Lucas wanted to make a Flash Gordon movie completely based on Alex Raymond's comic strip series from 1934-1943. However, he was unable to secure the rights, so he created his own universe based on Flash Gordon.

Taun-tauns were designed after the beaked snow-birds from the  ice-planet  sequence in Flash Gordon in 1938-1939.
I used to own the original art to this one.

It was a joke, because Movieposterbid (who's human name escapes me) suggested country boys have sex with farm animals and Taun Taun's are an excellent bestiality candidate. At least I hope that's what he was implying, because if not, I need to see a therapist.

Why did he report you? Did you send him a private message, telling him that the cards were a later reissue? and even if so, why would he then complain to ebay about that?

A prison officer here in the UK told me the following:
The reason the colour pink is used is because it is linked to calmer behaviour amongst inmates compared to the orange suits.

It's the psychology of colour - which works ... maybe this forum should have a pink theme instead??  laugh1

I was the second high bidder, but I felt like it was only a token bid... I thought for sure my snipe wouldn't even get placed for being too low.  Sure it has some damage, but the image itself was in good shape in the other parts could be cleaned up pretty easily.  Someone made out well... I wonder if it will be restored and turn up in HA's next sig auction!

I was watching it Matt but did not end up bidding.  It's going to be a pretty expensive restoration job but it sure is a great poster!

If the current linen backing was done well and is still holding up, I wouldn't expect the fill and restoration to be more than $200 or so.  I think the last copy auctioned at HA (albiet in fantastic condition) went for $2k.

That DEVIL COMMANDS is wicked.
I missed the reissue (same image yet B&W) on Ebay a month or so back.
I would've liked any version from this film, especially with such a nice image of King Karloff.

Harry, this poster almost certainly needs to be removed from the backing. Forry did not use the best people - he always used the cheapest. Restoring this poster will probably cost around $500

I think this guess is probably more realistic to get it looking really good.  The linen looks pretty dirty and beat up and there is writing that needs to be recreated.  Still for about $800 or so total (more than I can stomach unfortunately) someone could have a real stunner on their wall.

This brings up an interesting point. Is an $800 poster that is 10% re-created a "better" buy than a $2,000 poster that is 100% there?

That's easy to answer with two letters: NO

But for a budget-minded buyer who really wants the art and 90% of the original it may be a feasible alternative

I'd go with the 100% complete poster.
What the heck...another $1200 I don't have, but Boris is worth every penny.

Actually, it was a trick question. The 90% poster IS  a better buy, but only if you can get it into an auction where they will describe it so vaguely that everyone will think it is a 100% poster, and you will sell it for $2,000, and can now afford to buy the real deal with the proceeds!

I believe that $2000 copy of Devil Commands to be an outlier based on a large premium for it being high grade and the first to appear at auction in several years.  This poster usually commands in the $1000-1200 range for average condition or linenbacked examples.
The one in the auction referenced above definitely would have to be re-backed and would run at least what Rich quoted (despite what restorers tell you, most restoration/linenbacking is not easily reversible and great care has to be taken not to damage the piece further).

I will put it as the first item in one of my sales, and we will see how it does.

If it turns out I incinerated a bunch of moolah, then at least I can know it went to a really good cause (I am a major fan of Dan's).   happy1

'Cause' his wife told him to sell some damn posters.

The bigger point at this juncture in the thread is how Dan the Man is shedding some of the weight more frequently with last night offerings including some crazy material that most of us will probably not see for several years again, if ever.

One has to wonder what he is holding back, if this round was just tossing out a few bones to appease the wife (no pun intended, but let's see who runs with it...hmmm....).

Dan is a great guy to deal with.

I got my rolled Friday The 13th One Sheet from him, amongst other things, and had the opportunity to buy a load of his gear a while back through private conversation, but I ultimately declined as I was concentrating on other stuff at the time.

Some of the gear he sells is fantastic.

I had his whole website logged etc but lost it all when my computer died, so I hope Thierry one day releases his copy so everyone can see what he did. I actually remember Dan's site and MPF as being the first two standalone poster websites I came across when starting to collect posters seriously a few years ago. He did good.

Thanks for the nice words guys, it is much appreciated.
The Dracula's Daughter (which I think was a steal of a price), was purchased by a well-known Canadian collector.  I believe he posts on MoPo, but don't think I've seen him here.
A few things were surprising on either side of high or low (as with most every auction), but overall I was pleased.

Even more pleased that the auction led to some private inquires and I was able to place cards from Black Cat, The Raven, Dracula, and the Wolf Man into good homes this week.

Now I just need to get back to work and find some cool stuff for the wall at Cinevent.

It's a deal on the Bogies - you just leave the Aussie paper to me...

And it looks like you got a great deal on the In a Lonely Place - it sold for twice that in 2005 Heritage: http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=624&Lot_No=28674

I wonder if it's the same poster as this is the only sales record I could find?

In my opinion, I would pay the extra to have it shipped (carefully!) in the frame given the size - it will surely be a pain in the ass to try and reframe it!

I was a bit worried when I saw Bruce list a French In a Lonely Place last night... I was crossing my fingers that I didn't over pay.  Looks like I'm in the clear, even with my 17% BP!

The funny thing is, if I had known Bruce was offering this copy I may not have bid high enough to win the other auction.  The poster I have was bought from Posteritati a few years ago.  I think the auctioneer let Posteritati know about the auction when they were confirming the past sale/receipt and they almost outbid me!!!

My guess is that the more he keeps pimping this poster, the lower the ending bid will be.  At this point it's been auctioned, what, three times?  Collectors' interests wane when something is offered again and again.

He talks a lot of sense does the Doc... If you over expose a poster, it cheapens it.

It seems kind of fitting to over-expose a faded poster!

So so far he has massively overpaid for a damaged repaired faded poster, and has over-exposed it?

I wonder what his master plan is?

The French one panel for CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN was taken on ebay today, for $2024.00. No last minute, third bidder stepped in and the final, winning bid was the high bid for the last day or 2.

Congrats to the winner.   happy1

This is one BEAUTIFUL one panel, with that vibrant Mascii artwork.

Agree with you, Matias.. this is ONE boring looking poster, graphically and visually, IMO. Must be a rare enough quad for the someone(s) to have bid against each other to get it to that price??

I'm amazed, but it happens all the time, when 2 (or more) want a piece and the timing is right.

Are quads for this film that scarce?

YesJeff, Quads are very scarce for this title. You guys must also remember The U.K. has nowhere near the amount of Cinemas that the U.S. has, so Posters in the U.K. are printed in much smaller quantities.

That said it's a very silly price. If they had waited one could have been had for half that, but as collectors sometimes we can't wait...

I think they are quite rare in the US auctions, but Christies has sold 15+ of them over the years.  The more recent actions there have ended between about $1500 and $2000.  However, the most recent auction from 2010 only sold for $1,100.

40 x 60s have a super high gloss finish, and that foxing and the many creases won't "come out" through pressing and chemical means. The end result of this restoration will almost surely be a heavily restored poster.

Bruce.. is the foxing more steadfast because the glossy layer seals in the fox spots? Similar to locking them in?

The shot glass will come in handy when the new owner sees just how messed up it is, and when he learns it needs to be "re-painted" to look presentable.

I hope the seller includes the shot glass with the poster!

I thought about bidding $500 for that Barbarella but it went for much more.  I asked Poster Mountain whether it could be fixed:

This is a 40x60, and we don't usually linen-back these because of their heavy paper stock. Instead, we would flatten and repair the poster as needed, resizing the poster with gelatin to restore strength and structure. We also can't chemically lighten this poster - so any spots/foxing would have to be covered with airbrush paint and detail restoration.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: CSM on April 19, 2011, 07:46:06 PM
Airbrush?  Yikes...the amount of foxing would equal a whole hell of a lot of paint (and I doubt the colour would match given the glossiness)

Post by: Harry Caul on April 19, 2011, 08:06:05 PM
This conversation about Barb is well and good, but I think people are forgetting about the rarity of this poster.  I've only seen like 5-6 of these sold at auction... I think I've seen more Casablanca 1-sheets than that!  Frankly I'm glad this was bought by, based on the price they paid, someone who clearly knows is value and rarity. 

Hopefully they will have this one conserved... airbrushing is optional in my opinion.  That big 40x60 Magnum Force I found at a garage sale also has some foxing, but it only noticeable if you are very close.  It still looks great from 2-3 feet back... about the closest you would expect to be staring at such a beast of a poster.

I still think this is a helluva poster!  And Bruce, I'm guessing you would have happily sold it at auction if you had the chance!
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on April 19, 2011, 09:52:09 PM
Harry, I WOULD have auctioned it, but only with putting in a strong caveat that it would require much paint restoration, and that you should not bid unless you don't mind the defects or can live with a heavily restored poster.

It's kind of like the faded Gilda that was auctioned on eBay. My honest description of the defects would have chilled the bidding.

This is why people rarely give me heavily restored items. They'd rather give them to auctions with fuzzy condition descriptions that "miss" a lot of restoration. I can't tell you how many posters have been consigned to me where I have to tell the people that the borders are new, or it is a re-paint job, and they tell me, "But when I bought it, it was described as having minor fold and border restoration and being in 'fine to very fine' condition"!

Interesting that Poster Mountain completely agreed with me. His answer was based on trying to restore these before, and seeing how only paint could cover the extensive foxing on these high gloss posters. Mine was based on seeing how similar ones turned out when all the top restorers tried to fix them without paint, and failed.

Strange how my mind gets all analytical at times, and emotional at others.

I was really looking long and hard at those silent 3 sheets (and 6 sheets) in Bruce's auction last night.  Gave up on the 6 sheets as my house really doesn't have that much clear wall available.  I was ready to go for a couple of the 3 sheets though and then i got to thinking.  The good ones went for $200+/-.  Add to that $200-300 to remove the kraft backing, linenback and do a light cleanup.  Add another $250-300+ for a reasonable frame and you are starting to approach $1k for that poster.

Yep, it is spectacular, but there is a lot on my want list that I could get for $1k.  It also seemed criminal to pick one up and just let it sit in a drawer, so I passed.

I called that "the wall test". If I can't imagine hanging a poster on MY wall, then why should I buy it (but I have bought items that never MADE it to the wall, but I think all that matters is that I would have liked it had it had).

I have another test. Before you EVER spend BIG bucks on anything, look at the image 20 times over a few days. If by the 20th time, you are no longer thinking "That is super cool" when you glance at it, then save those BIG bucks for something else that DOES make you feel that way.

I have picked up these theories over 45+ years of collecting stuff, and they both work really well. You will end up with a collection you really enjoy!

If you're really really patient, you might get one at that price, but in actuality it is worth much more than that.  If you don't mind it, you can always look for the railroad version that has the JR information in a white box at the bottom.  It's less expensive albeit less desirable due to the very fact of that box.

His second copy went for a full 1/2 what the last fool bought it for.  With no others popping up, it would seem that this is more like the price it should be? (It sold for just over $500 this time.).

Sometimes it is, for sure.  What's added to this particular one, I think, is that it's the only instance of this international art being used and available for purchase.  I have not seen any other example, onesheet or otherwise, with this art.  For me, its compounded by the fact that it's double sided, and I have a lightbox for B1's in my office.  Luckily, I've done so well on some B1's (i.e. $25 for a poster worth 10 or 20 times that), that it helps balance out the ones that I have to pay more for.  My final rule, though, is that I really like this poster, and it has nothing to do with monetary value.

Now that they have all ended, did anyone else sense that the bar was raised on this week's auctions?  Bruce seemed to have major auction quality stuff on both Tuesday and tonight.  And Movieposterbid/comic-art had some first rate inserts as well on Wednesday.  This was definitely a week where I felt I had to select carefully as I had too many choices to bid on.  I blew the budget some, but still managed to snag some nice items I've been looking for.  Just sad at the couple dozen I couldn't bid on and wanted to.

I felt there were a great many bargains to be had in tonight's lobby card auction from Bruce - unfortunately I was stepping out to dinner with my wife this evening and didn't have an opportunity to bid on nearly as many of them as i would have liked.

You heard it here, folks, from one of the world's leading lobby card dealers. "There were a great many bargains to be had", not just in last night's auctions but in practically EVERY auction we hold, so don't step out to dinner when our auctions are closing, and DO get in on some of the tons of great buys. Some people try to say that we always get too-high prices for quality items, but as this post points out, that clearly just isn't true!

Bruce

Agreed.  I had an additional 30 items on my Thursday watchlist that I couldn't bid on.  Pretty much every one went for a price where I would have still been bidding during any normal week.  I won pretty much everything I bid on, and always for way below my max.

Very interesting week.

What the hell is wrong with people, 476.00 for a Nightmare on Elm St, 281 for DK joker, and 230 for the wilding. Good for you Bruce, but that buyer must have deep pockets.

Looks like a LOT of stuff went for lower than I would have expected today. I honestly do not watch end prices normally, but some of this stuff seems pretty low to me.
Superman 34.00
Unforgiven 32.00
Blue Velvet Locandina - 29.00
Roger Rabbit Killian - 27.00
Blue Velvet - 24.00
Star Trek - 23.00

and on and on... would have been a good day to buy, got to the PC to late.

That is the thing with REAL no reserve auctions (not pretend ones). You will see results much higher than seems reasonable, and results much lower, simply because those selling prices truly were set by two real bidders.

I have been hearing the "if only I had known some prices would have gone so low, I would have bid" refrain lately, and the only answer to that is to either make every effort to be at your computer when the auctions are closing, or to put in a bunch of "joke" low bids and know you will only get a few of them at best.

As to why some things go two or three times what you think is fair and others go half or a third of what you think is fair, it is because in most cases the bidders have FAR less knowledge of values than you do, and sometimes they have no clue at all, and if they run into another REAL bidder in the same boat, the prices sometimes are silly.

The beauty of this is that you can get real steals, but if that consignor got a couple of the high prices as well, he is likely to still be real happy with his results overall.

That is a major mistake! Some of the best deals are in those auctions.

You can search all our auctions in lots of ways, and you can leave saved Want List searches, so there is no reason to ever miss items you want (except not caring to take the small amount of time required).

OK. We'll get you re-activated and add you back to the club. Is that what you want? If you NEVER log in or bid over the next year (100,000 items or so), then you will have to re-confirm your interest via e-mail to stay active.

It doesn't save us money, but these dormant accounts are the ones most likely to be hijacked, so we deactivate them.

Stew, if this guy ever contacted us, something went wrong, and he could have easily contacted me again to straighten it out. Instead he posted here, and I answered his questions. I don't mind public resolution of such matters when it seems to be the quickest way to resolve things.

OK. We'll get you re-activated and add you back to the club. Is that what you want? If you NEVER log in or bid over the next year (100,000 items or so), then you will have to re-confirm your interest via e-mail to stay active.

It doesn't save us money, but these dormant accounts are the ones most likely to be hijacked, so we deactivate them.

I just bought this same exact poster for $5.00, the opening bid, earlier this month. I didn't even have to pay for shipping because it was combined with another poster.

Condition is lacking for that bid, but price wise... I have a few that I am in no hurry to sell. I am not going to part with any for less than $75. I see they do not go for much when Bruce has offered them up, that was kind of surprising.

Yeah, it has Vivian Leigh and Olivier, but the movie is a throwaway.  $460??

After $200 it was the same two guys so it looks like it might been a heat of the moment war?

and or maybe that card in that condition is rare and they needed it for a set?

To removed the Jaws poster from the backing it would probably cost between $200 and $500 depending on who you use.  And that doesn't include the fee for linen backing and restoration (another $250+).  You'd be much better off just buying a new one in good condition for $150-ish, or in VF/NM for $300+.

Yep, I deliberately passed it up the first round in hopes that the price would go down the second round.  It did start at $150 the second round but ended up $316 the second time.  That's the way it goes on Ebay.

Recalled Omen sold for $$$ tonight at Emovie"

"This poster is the rare re-called style B teaser from this movie! It is hard to photograph but the boy's shadow at upper left forms an upside-down cross that extends into the center of the poster (it is easier to see in our super-sized image). When this poster first appeared, religious leaders were outraged at the sacrilegious portrayal of an upside-down cross and this poster caused much controversy. So much so that the poster was pulled almost immediately and new teasers were issued with a less controversial wolf's shadow image."

(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/omen1.jpg)

Here is a pic with more exposure of the cross:

THE OMEN finally went for $409.00 There was a bit of a bid war that kept extending the auction time, too.

Bruce sold the same poster in other years-- one in 2009 for 47.00 and more recently, in November of 2010 for 33.00 (although this copy was described as in fair condition):  http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/5813719.html

Nothing like a nice little battle to drive up the price, however.  :D

Here's the pisser....  That poster probably cost the seller, if he's trolling Tokyo, about $20. Maybe $50.  The last copy I got years ago I paid $50 for to someone who scouts locally in Tokyo.  That copy ended up getting traded to my dear friend Thierry ( puke2 ) for a nice poster.  It does give me a hard-on, though, to see it sell for $2500.  Usually I'm on the ass end of that, trying to find a copy to buy.

This is another one of those "popular posters" that does nothing for me... I think it boils down to Quentin Tarantino fans really liking Quentin Tarantino. The negative space is enough of a novelty to strike the fans' fancy. I also think people consider Tarantino memorabilia an investment, like Kubrick fans.

EDIT: Not that novelty is a negative term, here. I bought the R1993 Snow White poster for the novelty factor, even though I don't collect re-releases. The mirror mylar is a perfect example, I think, of a poster that has an unusual aspect that attracts the fans. Like the negative space in the Kill Bill poster.

Thats 1/2 more than i have ever watched.

Jeff

While I'm not as passionate about my disliking, Tarantino does nothing for me either. I've seen Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, and Kill Bill. Pulp Fiction I really didn't like. It doesn't even feel like a movie to me. I liked Inglorious Basterds mostly, but I don't like how it was broken up into "chapters". Kill Bill was okay too I guess, but it felt more like a fan film (which it arguably is) made by some talented college students.

My biggest gripe with Tarantino is his "book style" or story telling. I know that before he made movies, he wanted to write books, but his "ADD" (if you believe in that sort of thing) better lent him to making movies. So he tried to translate books into film. But repeatedly stopping your movie and starting some place else feels like a cheat to me. There is no thematic necessity for them. Film is a visual medium, not textual, and the transition cards make me feel like he's working from an unfinished script he was too lazy to string together.

What if every movie had "chapters"? Like Star Wars? Would the movie be better if it was broken up into chapters, where the story and action are only built up to a point before resetting the pace and the viewer's attention back to zero? If just before they destroyed the Death Star, a blank screen popped up and said "Chapter 5: The Death Star is Destroyed", would you feel more engaged as an audience member?

But I don't know. That's just me. Literally nobody I've talked to agrees with me, which is fine. I've been told a hundred reasons why Tarantino is a gifted film maker and honestly a lot of them are true; but I still don't enjoy his movies. Not very much...

Spielberg I do really like, but I don't think his a number of his movies are aging very well. Especially Jurassic Park. Not because of the special effects, which are phenomenal, but because of the script.

Here's the pisser....  That poster probably cost the seller, if he's trolling Tokyo, about $20. Maybe $50.  The last copy I got years ago I paid $50 for to someone who scouts locally in Tokyo.  That copy ended up getting traded to my dear friend Thierry ( puke2 ) for a nice poster.  It does give me a hard-on, though, to see it sell for $2500.  Usually I'm on the ass end of that, trying to find a copy to buy.


The Tarantino market in Japan has increased significantly in the past 1 1/2 years. The Japanese Banners I have, cost me $4000.00 from a Japanese seller and they were slated to stay in Japan to another collector for $3500.00. The very few B1's I have seen pop up which was just the yellow suit version has sold between $250.00 - $350.00 over there.

Its too bad I did not see that auction, not that I would have paid $2500.00 for it but I know who it went to and I am happy to see it go to him. It's a must have for any kill Bill fan and it so happens to be one of the ones I need to complete the Japanese campaign for Kill Bill.

Holy Shitoly, that is insane. I would swap mine for 2500 in 50's sci-fi or horror and never look back.

You know it, brother.
Film's a hoot, but these over-priced Tarantinos are for the birds.
Right, Ari?

I'm with Cj. Kill Bill is a pleasure to repeat view, and the Japanese poster campaign does full justice to the cool of these films. Character sets and imaginative alternate artwork, represent the very best in modern poster art, the sort of presentation that ups demand.

As Holiday has said, these posters may not be the rarest in the modern Japanese market, but the heavy fan base make these highly sought after posters very hard to track down, and bloody expensive, in the large format.

I truly believe that if most doubting collectors got to view Holiday's or Cj's Kill Bill collection in person, they might understand the passion. Obviously if you hate Kill Bill or Tarantino, nothing changes.

The market has been set for a reason, and quality (both film and poster campaign) and scarceness underpin this IMO.
I guess worth is in the eye of the beholder.

I agree with you guys. Loved the KBs.

Anyone take a chance bidding at Cameo's recent auctions, and win anything?

Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: marklawd on June 03, 2011, 02:55:26 PM
I attended the sale with just four other prospective bidders present. The preview was very well organised with folded posters in individual poly bags (with a small identifying image on top) laid flat on long tables in lot order and rolled posters either in hangers or individual "square cardboard tubes".

I would guess around three quarters of the lots sold, most below the guide prices. I know Cameo often get a bad press - deservedly in the case of their packaging - but they are friendly and helpful people in person and it was an enjoyable, relaxed sale. In fact, I did yawn dramatically at one point and mistakenly made eye contact with the auctioneer who thought I had registered a bid. I won around a dozen lots - including original release quads for Night of the Living Dead and Star Wars (Hildebrandt art) -  and was pleased that I could take the posters away safely in person.

This very cool Shaft's Big Score went for $167 tonight at Heritage. This particular copy is in pretty rough shape. Has anyone ever seen or have this poster?  It must be extremely rare - can't find any reference or image of it anywhere else.

P.S. This same poster was also sold a few weeks ago by Heritage.  I assume the buyer did not pay.

From what I've been able to gather, the style B seems to go for the least money.  And 2001 posters (other than psyc. eye wilding poster) seem to be dropping in value....

He might have done well to list it at $2,000 fixed price, especially with the Best Offer feature. Auctions on eBay with low starting prices rarely do well anymore, unless they are REALLY rare and desirable items, because so few major collectors have the time to check there regularly, and even less time to find what interests them.

Lets's see... $130K Christie's sale price - about 35% in fees/BP - $12K purchase price from the Winter auction = ~$70K.  I'm pretty sure someone just made some serious bank!

there are some other pretty high prices in that auction, £17k for a vertigo one sheet, in not great condition, £1250 for Never Say Never Again!

How do i get on that gravy grain?

So rare that it was sold twice in the last 8 months?  Or maybe there were 2!  The dimensions between the Winter auction and the Christies auction seem a bit off....

Doesn't make sense to me that there would be two original concepts of the exact same style.  Also, I think the same piece selling twice within a short time does not decrease it's rarity (as there is still likely only one piece).  The consignor made a good flip - IF the sale goes through that is.

To be clear I wouldn't pay $5 for it.  Just want to stress that original poster art is nearly non-existent!

The obscure "Black Frankenstein" just for $686 on Ebay (it quadrupled in price in the last minute).  It sold for $3107 last week at Heritage, sans the extra fold:

... If this guy was simply wanting to show off, then it would be cheaper in the long run to create his own website and do it that way.

On a personal note, I wonder how much he actually spent on his collection?
I never like to see people state such information (for whole collections or monthly spends etc), but for him I will make a rare exception.

It would be amusing if he actually had anything worth showing off (like when Todd uses eBay to list his Bride of Frankenstein one-sheet).
Why would anyone want to "show off" what he is trying to sell?

brian, while I certainly understand the rarity of this poster, it is highly recommeneded that you wait for a copy in better condition than this one as this one is mightily ferqed up.
Just be patient and wait for the right one.. It will happen. You get one like thios and all you want to do is replace it because you can't even frame it

This one just sold for $225.  I was the under-bidder at $200.  It is faded, so I'm sure it's not worth nearly as much as the one that sold at HA... but that one sold for almost $6000!

You can't fix fading except to "dip it in paint". But there are some restorers who will oblige, and some auctions that will describe the finished product as "very fine" and I imagine that well may be the fate of this card.

Post by: Harry Caul on August 06, 2011, 09:33:56 PM
I realize that Bruce and, had I won, I had no intention of 'repainting' it. But surely it would still be desirable given how rare it must be?  I assumed the low price was more due to the (lack of) exposure for the auction.

Had you sold this card as is in one of your mini/majors, what do you think it would have sold for?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: CSM on August 07, 2011, 01:10:32 AM
I really don't think "fading" explains all the differences betwen the cards.  The red lettering at the top is still red on both despite the alleged fading - but the pink and orange are completely gone?  Not to mention "Cleopatra" is grey (I suppose the paper could have darkened. I think it might be a separate printing.

Regardless, it is still a nice poster (even if I am Egypt-biased ;) )

Post by: paul waines on August 07, 2011, 07:02:25 AM
Does Orange turn to yellow when it fades, and that evenly... I'm not so sure. Red is the first colour to fade out of all the colours. I'm tending to agree with Chris, this maybe a different printing, or one of the posters may have been taken with a flash or some kind of better lighting set up. I know it makes a huge difference to the colours on my cheap camera, and that's just with or without the flash on. 
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on August 07, 2011, 07:35:29 AM
It is almost surely NOT from a different printing. Notice the exact same theater info. A bunch of these were found many years ago in a stack. The framed one may have been on top of the stack and received the most dirt. I would have to see it out of the frame (and a good picture) to see to what extent it could possibly be "cleaned". It is not impossible that it would look pretty good after "cleaning", but it would not look like it originally did, without being "dipped in paint".

I have seen items that were massively "worked over" that have been described as just having had a "good cleaning". Remember that auctioneers and sellers often try to present something "in the best possible light", which sometimes can involve bending the truth.

It depends on who is bidding that day, at what auction house it is offered, and whether a bidder leaves a high absentee bid!

I would guess that in a 100% honest auction I would expect it to go between $1,000 and $2,000, but of course it could go much higher (or a little lower) on any given day.

So I am spent... How did everybody do tonight on the daybills.

I got my Amadeus daybill;  woohoo  (you nailed it Brian)

Other daybills I snatched:

Dances with Wolves
Gallipoli (brown)
Lethal Weapon
Loves of Isadora (nice red Vanessa Redgrave; bought this one for the look) http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2266688 (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2266688)
Sudden Impact (paid for this one who knew?); figured since I finished off my B2 Dirty Harry set I could grab one more towards my daybill set.

Only loss was the German For a Few Dollars More; would have liked it but didn't know how much I would have to pay for the Amadeus...

Overall a good night!

Good to hear you did well.  There was a little bidding war on the Mad Max daybill, which was fun to watch, although it would have been more fun had I won :D.  I scored a pretty sweeeet Piranha daybill for a good price, so I'm stoked about that. ;D  Who is the guy Chris (CSM) was talking about who dominated the daybill bidding wars the last time emovieposter had a daybill auction?

Everyone could use more brainwashing! :D  There are some really cool alternate artworks from Australia, and they're probably more rare than their US counterparts, which also increases the coolness IMHO.  The bidding wars are fun, so I look forward to the next time Bruce has a daybill auction and I (hopefully) don't have other endeavors to fund.

Yeah, that's what I can't stand about your auctions, Bruce.  A lot of times, I overbid on an item, not because I really want it, but because I don't want the other guy to get it.  It becomes a game.  For instance, your Little Mermaid French lobbies are not worth anywhere close to $69, but I upped it from $20 something because I was annoyed.  I would have been supremely annoyed to get them for $69, but that's another story :)  You just have to know when the other party has suffered enough :)

It is your macho-ness that brings that out in you, and it is what makes people consign say, 100 items, knowing that 30 or 40 will go for a dollar or two or three, because there will be some that should go for $20, but go for $69 after two macho studs butt heads for a while!

As to "I probably should go on a daybill "hiatus", I completely agree! (At least for a month or so when I likely will have some in my mini/major auction).

But so that you don't have huge "withdrawal", have you thought about instead buying some inserts or locandinas which are the American and Italian equivalent of daybills? It just so happens we will be adding 800 of those in an hour or so!

Good to hear you did well.  There was a little bidding war on the Mad Max daybill, which was fun to watch, although it would have been more fun had I won :D.  I scored a pretty sweeeet Piranha daybill for a good price, so I'm stoked about that. ;D  Who is the guy Chris (CSM) was talking about who dominated the daybill bidding wars the last time emovieposter had a daybill auction?

  The prices kind of seemed high to me, too.  But the thing I like about daybills is that you can double the previous auction price and still only be in for like 40 bucks for a name brand movie.  This may be blasphemy, but if the daybill is a stone litho and has good artwork of a hottie then the movie title does not really matter to me.  IIRC correctly, I got Killers w/Angie Dickinson and Property Condemned w/Natalie Wood for like a total of 50.

I usually refrain from the Dances with Wolves but I have always loved that movie as well as Lethal Weapon...  No more senseless Eastwood and Gibson worship; yeah like I would ever hang an Air America daybill....

When I saw the Piranha daybill I actually thought of you; glad you found it and gobbled it up...

Lately I've taken more of the approach where I wait for one that I really like and focus on winning that one.  There was an article I read recently about a guy who collects stuff from the Civil War, and he mentioned how he knows a lot of people who got into it because they really like something, and then just start collecting all kinds of stuff just for the sake of buying it.  As long as it doesn't turn into the next episode of Hoarders or cause some serious problems, I would say there's nothing wrong with it, and someday people may look at the people like us who are buying this stuff like we were striking gold.  That's a good motto for not buying it unless you would display it.

Actually there was no pun intended just a bit of my Texas slang working its way onto my post.  However, it was actually an awesome play on words; subconscious maybe? Piranha - gobbled... :)

So I am spent... How did everybody do tonight on the daybills.

I got my Amadeus daybill;  woohoo  (you nailed it Brian)

Other daybills I snatched:

Dances with Wolves
Gallipoli (brown)
Lethal Weapon
Loves of Isadora (nice red Vanessa Redgrave; bought this one for the look) http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2266688 (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2266688)
Sudden Impact (paid for this one who knew?); figured since I finished off my B2 Dirty Harry set I could grab one more towards my daybill set.

Only loss was the German For a Few Dollars More; would have liked it but didn't know how much I would have to pay for the Amadeus...

Overall a good night!


Sweet!

Love Amadeus, Gallipoli and Dances with Wolves.

I got three out of the six I wanted and two I dont really want so much.   moron1. Wrong artist but they total only $10 so I wont lose any sleep.

The Italian 1P version with Diana Dors only seems to be very rare, so I didn't know how much it would fetch.   Cinemasterpieces has it for $8000 retail, so I'm not really surprised it went for $2000 at auction. Just hoping it wouldn't!

The other version is more common but the images are mishmashed - a serene Dors and two guys trying to strangle each other!

Well, I lost, but at least you have to pay $300+ for it. That price is artificial, because he was only bidding against me, and I doubt there's another Monsters, Inc/Pixar fan who wanted it as much as he did. If I had the money (or if my girlfriend had more money for me to squeeze out of her as a contribution) I would have bid this up to a thousand dollars.

Oh well. I guess I can always plan a burglary. Does anybody know "rattler?"

It's also a learning experience.  

I cannot tell you how many times I overpaid on posters when I started collecting.  I even fought Holiday vigorously on the subject.  And then I learned.  I learned that you can get everything you want for a fraction of the price if you wait.

But in Anthony's case, or at least I hope, there is always this one poster that you need to get now.  Even if it shows up a couple months later for $25, you just had to have it when it first popped up.  I bought a few posters like that, knowing very well that I was making a mistake, but it didn't matter.

At the end of the day, there is really no right or wrong.  And if money is not an issue...

Yeah, we go back and forth on this.  But, how many posters are in my collection that are not in yours, but for the fact that I was willing to drop some money on them.  And, of those, how many are you still patiently waiting for, for all of these years?

I guess if the poster doesn't get you hard, then you don't need it that badly and you won't spend the money.  Most of the time, though, when I spend a lot of money on a poster, it's because it's rare, I like it, and I want it in my collection so I don't have to have it banging around my head for longer than it has to.  I'll always pay more than Thierry, and that's why my collection will always be better than his.

And, he ducks......

At the end of the day, there is really no right or wrong.  And if money is not an issue...

Newbie question: Is there a way to search completed auctions on movieposterbid.com? I'd like to review some of the auction results but couldn't figure out how to do so (on eBay, of course, it's through the advanced search).

In good news, I won my very first item (of hopefully many more) tonight:

Yeah, we go back and forth on this.  But, how many posters are in my collection that are not in yours, but for the fact that I was willing to drop some money on them.  And, of those, how many are you still patiently waiting for, for all of these years?

You want me to be honest with you?  I don't think that many, but that's mostly because our respective collecting focus has shifted over the years.  Sure, they are some Japanese posters you own that I'd still like to get, but I didn't want them for the price you paid at the time, and I still don't want them for that price.  Point is, there are so many posters to get out there, that I'm done trying to wait for the ones that I once wanted.  If they pop up at the right price, I'll buy them.  If they don't, I'll buy something else.

The question is whether it's double sided.  There are a lot of posters that rare at all when single sided, but are super rare when double sided.  One other that comes to mind is the Bridget Fonda version of Jackie Brown.  All over the place single sided, but rarely does it come up double sided. 

I hazard a guess on the $25 HP that:  a) it's single sided; and b) it's a repro.  Even single sided the poster is worth more than $25.

I'm the source of the Jackie Browns for the most part. We had tons of SS, but no DS posters
I'd say the supply on SS vs DS on that title is well over 100-1

Yeah, I gotta admit that seeing some of these as double sided posters gets me sprung.  For me, it's the ability of being able to display them in a lightbox just like in the theaters.  It's where I started my collecting.  It's what I love about collecting first and foremost.  As rare as Bridget is, I displayed her in the lightbox for at time.  Same for Shashank.  Same for Unforgiven.  You just can't do that with a single sided poster.

I've been wanting to talk about this for a while, actually.

In ten years, I wouldn't be shocked if Harry Potter posters are some of the most valuable on the market. Whether you like Harry Potter or not, it's a worldwide record-crushing phenomenon delivered to its enormous fanbase ingeniously. The staggered release of books and films meant every chapter of the franchise was a multimedia experience that spanned a decade, so the bulk of its fans literally grew up with HP as an annual event.

1st Edition sets of the books are already worth a thousand dollars, several thousand in the case of the UK prints. The sensation of today is the memorabilia of tomorrow, and the way this series has reached and affected people is unlike anything I've ever seen. The sheer immensity and quality of the entire Harry Potter project has guaranteed it a place in the history of both film and literature and studios and publishers have been attempting to replicate its success for as long as it's existed.

I don't like HP much either. I only read one book and, while I enjoyed the films,I  prefer to pick them apart as generally poor adaptations (the third of which is  superb and the rest of which are weak). But pretending its impact on people, pop-culture, literature and film has been anything short of incredible is, like you said, naive.

Granted they were both to the same user, but I think it's worth noticing that two posters from 2001 both sold for $300. People collect what they grew up with, and the digital children are growing up. I mean, just look at me! I'm no expert, but I say stock up.

Quite a good reply, Anthony.
I suppose I have something that is considered rare; something I may well keep for a few years rather than selling soon.

One of those collections I bought years ago seems worth it now lol.

You're probably correct.  She was an active collector from 2003-2006.  She claims she bought the LA Confidential at the "Book Castle" in LA in 2004, which makes me wonder if it really is a "Canadian" poster.  She's getting ready to sell her collection.

Yep, that's her.  I am sure the Book Castle got it from some studio connection, being LA and all, and their is no evidence that it was ever sent anywhere other than Canada.  She picked up the rare version of the Matrix w/credits at the same place.  Both were some crazy low price, low even for then, of $5-20...

I guess this question was answered before, but being a collector not specialized -or very interested- in modern posters (and a cheap bastard too  :)) The design is nothing special -for me at least-, and I think $500 is a lot of money for it. Is it right to presume that the value comes solely from the poster`s scarcity??

Its arguably the best design for a great movie, but yes... I would imagine that the high price mainly boils down to scarcity.

Yes, that price 95% reflects scarcity.  It's a cool poster but certainly the design would not merit that price.  

The real question is "can I resell it without taking a loss?"  I'm pretty sure I could consign it and get $1000+, so I would break even assuming a 25% commission. So I'm not worried about it.  

As far as I know, this poster has not been publicly auctioned in 5 years (since Dan R. sold his for $400), so it's impossible to say what the "right price" is for this poster.

I think you can only evaluate the value of a poster if a lot of bidders are ready to spend an equal amount of money on it.  In this case, Mel was alone.  He paid a high price for a poster that may not pop up again for a long time.  So it's all a matter of how much you want it.  Mel might be the only one in the world who would have spent that much.  But he might also be the only one in the world to own this poster.  I don't know much about it, since I'm not a huge fan of the movie and don't care more than that.  I would have probably bought it at $200, just to own it, but I would have not gone beyond that.  This said, there are plenty of posters I need to complete a collection that I would spend a lot of money on, and I could very well be the only one.  Which does not mean the posters are worth that much, they are just worth that much to me.

Consider that the seller listed it in the internationals sections on a weekday and did not promote it.  I happened to catch it.  I imagine that most interested buyers missed it.

I can't emphasize enough how scarce this poster is.  In three years of collecting I have never seen it for sale.

Put that poster in a high profile auction and properly promote it and the sky's the limit!  The Ferris Bueller auction at MoviePosterBid a few months back is a better comparator.

Maybe, maybe not.  You don't know that for sure, Mel.  I saw it and passed on it because it was too expensive for me.  Sure, it is possible some people did not see it.  Everything is possible.  But what I see today is one person bidding on a poster, and that does not set a trend.  Now, if tomorrow, there is an auction, like you said, and it sells for 1.5k with 20 bidders on it, then you have a trend.  But not today.  

This is why, at the end of the day, collectibles are only worth what you want to pay for them.

I still don't understand why numbers matter so much to you, Mel.  What Ferris Bueller sold last year for doesn't mean anything.  What it sells for tomorrow doesn't mean anything.  Prices vary constantly.  I had a long talk with Ron Borst today, who told me that his collection has lost a lot of value in the last 3 years.  What is it worth exactly?  He doesn't know.  Hopefully more than yesterday, but probably not if no one wants to buy.  A poster sells for $100 on a Monday, then for $100 again on a Tuesday, and then for $20 on a Wednesday.  Why?  Because the people who really wanted it now own it and there is no one left on the market.  I know I've had this discussion with you before, Mel, and I still don't get why those numbers matter to you so much.  They are irrelevant.  You should know that by now.

And BTW, you don't know who I bought my Ferris Bueller from?  Ves sold hers to Marklawd, didn't she?  So maybe I spent $200 for it.  Maybe not.  Who cares?

Well of course price history matters.  Why else would Heritage and Emovie maintain price archives?  Generally prices vary somewhat but usually not radically.  And try telling your banker that "price history doesn't matter."  You can't get a loan without an extensive analysis of comparable home price sales in your neighborhood.  Poster sales are the same.

Yeah, considering its the upcoming generation that loves HP, these will be worth a small fortune 20 years from now.

But, I buy them because I love the movie and that my kids love the movie, not for value.

Quote from: Disheveledamethyst on August 26, 2011, 09:02:04 AM
I've been wanting to talk about this for a while, actually.

In ten years, I wouldn't be shocked if Harry Potter posters are some of the most valuable on the market. Whether you like Harry Potter or not, it's a worldwide record-crushing phenomenon delivered to its enormous fanbase ingeniously. The staggered release of books and films meant every chapter of the franchise was a multimedia experience that spanned a decade, so the bulk of its fans literally grew up with HP as an annual event.

1st Edition sets of the books are already worth a thousand dollars, several thousand in the case of the UK prints. The sensation of today is the memorabilia of tomorrow, and the way this series has reached and affected people is unlike anything I've ever seen. The sheer immensity and quality of the entire Harry Potter project has guaranteed it a place in the history of both film and literature and studios and publishers have been attempting to replicate its success for as long as it's existed.

I don't like HP much either. I only read one book and, while I enjoyed the films,I  prefer to pick them apart as generally poor adaptations (the third of which is  superb and the rest of which are weak). But pretending its impact on people, pop-culture, literature and film has been anything short of incredible is, like you said, naive.

Granted they were both to the same user, but I think it's worth noticing that two posters from 2001 both sold for $300. People collect what they grew up with, and the digital children are growing up. I mean, just look at me! I'm no expert, but I say stock up.

No, price history does not matter.  Every single time I look at a poster price, it varies so drastically from one week to another, I can't figure it out.  It does not matter.  Up one day, down by half the next.  We're not talking about houses, or banks, or fine art here.  We're talking about mass reproduced paper that should essentially be free.  It is made to advertize, not to sell.  It doesn't have a price.  The only price it has comes from who wants it at a given time.

Do you keep a database of prices?  How do you know Ferris Bueller sold for $400 a year ago on Ebay UK?  You always tell us what a poster is worth compared to what it sold yesterday at Heritage or Emovie, and I honestly don't get it.  I can't say it clearer...  What it's worth is what it's worth to you.  In this case, L.A. Confidential is worth $500 to you and CJ, but not to me.

The contrast between the international and Canadian is very dramatic. I didn't realize until now the international is at dusk and the Canadian is at night.  And of course Basinger's outfit is very different. The Canadian emphasizes beauty while the international exudes sex appeal.

Also, the quality of the movie itself enhances its value. In retrospect, LA Confidential probably should have won the Oscar in 1997, just like Hurt Locker beat Avatar.  LA Confidential has retained its reputation while "Titanic fever" has faded.

I had a long talk with Ron Borst today, who told me that his collection has lost a lot of value in the last 3 years.  

entirely different dynamic

In Ron's case, the collection had reached (by values) an artificial high due to the presence of one buyer who at the top of the financial spectrum was able to move the market for a period of time. Now this person is absent and the prices have fallen back to natural levels. His posters in 2011 are worth less than they were in 2007 (theoretically, seeing as nothing has cash value except at the moment it being sold), however, they are worth more than they were in 2001

Why else would Heritage and Emovie maintain price archives? 

they do it because it promotes people to bid to that level or surpass it, or to give one the emotional feeling that "I got it for a bargain" when the price paid is lower than previous sales.

Otherwise a great many items would sell for less than they do, and they would achieve diminished profits.

"Now this person is absent and the prices have fallen back to natural levels"

I don't know about that. I see a sea of sellers of super-expensive posters ($25,000+) and few buyers. Almost every one of these that comes up for auction in the past couple of years goes for less than the last time (the ones that don't pass), and there doesn't seem to be any sort of "leveling off" that I can see.

The market for top quality $500 to $2500 posters is super-strong, so it is not like the problem is that there are no buyers. The problem is that a lot of posters somehow got moved up to skyhigh levels that had little support to begin with, and next-to-zero support now. Most of them were bought by a single bidder who bid against a reserve, or who bid against a mysterious underbidder who vanishes whenever that top bidder is not present.

Maybe "natural levels" of super-expensive posters are at current prices, but maybe they are at one-half (or less) of current prices. Time will tell.

Nice to hear this. I am usually surprised when looking up the historic prices of an item as that then makes me bid higher than I would have otherwise.

We know Bruce has indicated he will charge for access to the price database, however this seems to be forever stalled... I guess there is a balancing act as to which option provides the highest return - have less people view past results and bid lower vs income in from access to the database. I guess it will happen when Bruce is sure that the database has no other real competition, when the database is even more populated.

I don't think you should look forward a decade - I reckon 2013 could be a good year, being the 50th Anniversary of FRWL!
But then again, I think come the 50th Anniversary prices may hit a high, go down after a few years, then spike again on the 75th Anniversary.

you can pick up the original with a little patience for not much more (well may be a bit)

Did anyone see the ebay auction for this quad? I did some (minimal) research but couldn't find it anywhere else.

Really liked the design so had a dabble but didn't manage to snag it!

* Edit... doh, should have said does anyone know more about it... when was the remastered film released and whether it was just at the BFI or a similar small release?

In August 2008, a re-mastered print opened the "Eastwood season" at the BFI Southbank, with subsequent showings at key cities in the UK organized by Park Circus.

Very nice re-release poster.

Quote from: Simes on September 02, 2011, 07:34:08 PM
I reckon the next one will go for the same if not more.

Bearing in mind there are enough people out there to a) think it is a must-have poster and b) those same will be regularly reviewing ebay, they will have been made aware that these are the sums involved and will reconsider their pitches ahead of the next one that becomes available.

I think so, too, Simes.
Although, I still think around £900.00 in mint condition is about right, but then again, it all depends on how long it will be before the next one surfaces.
I know someone who has one, but with a 5cm tear in it.
He wanted £900.00 for it, and his was the only one I'd seen before that one on eBay popped up!

The thing is as well, remember the Todd Slater Goldfinger posters (how couldn't you!?)?
Well look at how much they can sell for, and they aren't even official!

2012 will be the year of the Bond poster in my opinion.

Sorry, Mel, regarding the mix-up over the GF Quad.
£100 was a bloody good buy in my eyes.

Maybe because the text is the same as the original 20's version (UFA logo, etc...)?  Not justifying the price, just trying to maybe understand what the rational might be.  The quad text is in english and clearly states the modern restoration and screening details.

C'mon Mel, Bruce will tell you that might not even have been a real sale.
Who knows if Heritage has ever even sold a poster?  They might have all been purchased by NP Gresham...  blahblah

This copy did just sell less than a month ago on a Japanese auction site for ¥58,000, so I was wondering if it would surface on eBay afterwards.
It used to be a steady piece in the $400-500 range, but obviously looks like it has taken quite a jump in demand and price.

Post by: holiday on September 12, 2011, 07:28:50 PM
When asked recently, that's exactly what I pegged it at - $450.  Two sales over a $1000 is something, but I still don't think it's sustainable at that level.  I'd bet it can be found for a lot less with Thierry-patience.

  One thing those two Barb auctions have in common is 2.  Two bidders in the HA auction and only two total bids on the ebay transaction. A bidding war between Holiday and Rattler does not a market make as Confucius would say.  (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/chinese1-smiley.gif)

You guys are nuts.  It's arguably the best design for Barbarella and it's probably extremely rare, which is why it comes up for auction so seldom. 

Putting $1,000 in it is 100 times smarter than putting $1000 into the Stout posters, which will be worth diddly in 10 years.  It's not going to collapse in price anytime soon. Three retailers have it for sale for:  £1400 ($2220), 1150 Euro ($1568), $2750, respectively.

Well, that's dramatic, Mel.  It's truly one of the best designs for the movie, and I don't doubt that it's uncommon.  But I really think that if you were patient, you'd find it for a fraction of the numbers that you're talking about. By all means, drop a grand on it if it makes you happy and you've gotta have it - trust me, I get that.  But just because a few dealers price it like that doesn't make it so.  Posteritati has some amazing prices, and I'm sure Sam sells some posters, but I would never say those are where the market's at.  It could be that the poster has topped a grand, but I'm so used to seeing it at $400 or so that I don't get it.  Of all people I would trust on this point, ask Armin.  I'd also say ask Erich, but he's raising his girl now so Armin's the one left with actual knowledge on these things.  If he says it's a grand, then I believe it.

If it's so rare why do three dealers have it available for sale right now?
I notice the Heritage copy was a post auction sale, so everyone in the collecting world passed on it at $1000 and finally someone pulled the trigger after the auction was over. 
I can also think of 100 things that are 100 times smarter than putting $1000 into Stout posters, but that doesn't mean any of the 100 will be worth $1000 in ten years. Just seems like a very strong price, but maybe there is a growing demand for this film.

Here's the a link to the auction last month where it sold for ¥50,100 (mistyped this afternoon sorry), and even that is the highest price I have seen it sell for in Japan (of course I've only been going to Japan for 16 years buying posters so that doesn't mean much). http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/150799441 (http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/150799441)

That's $650 even in Japan.  Due to the language gap and difficulty of using Yahoo Japan auctions, there's usually a big markup when Japanese posters sell in the US.  I've seen Black Swan B1s sell for $50 on Yahoo Japan auctions but sell for $500-$1000 here.  You could make a pretty good living buying the best posters directly from Japan and reselling them here.

I'm pretty certain there are several people doing this. I don't think they make enough to quit their day jobs, but there IS money to be made this way, just as you can scour eBay and buy the few steals that come along and then consign them to an auction that gets much more visibility.

Who needs the price of posters to actually rise?  We just need the value of the dollar to keep falling to make our posters go up.
Maybe next year that record price of ¥50,100 will be equal to $2000 and everyone will wish they had purchased it (except T who still will have found one for the normal price of $500)

Yep! There were 243 buyers last night, and only 506 items, which together sold for $108,000+, well over my expectations. The most anyone got was 10 or 11 items, so the contest for winning the most is wide open.

Most people were only able to get one or two items, and no one spent more than the guy who got the Glass Key one-sheet (for five grand) so the spending was VERY spread out.

But there were still 92 items that sold for under $50, and many of those were under the cost of linenbacking alone.

Now on to Part II!

True, but if I linenback a piece of toilet paper, I don't suddenly get a $100 piece of toilet paper.  It just labels me a fool.  A lot of that lower cost stuff was very marginal.  Magazine ads, tacky popular posters, etc.

I looked and prices were going insane.  It was a good time to lay low and save for next week, after everyone has burned themselves out by overspending at the "major" auction.

I put in the minimum bid before Bruce's auction; figured I wouldn't get it for $19.99 so might as well get the really nice one that is backed (silly Aggie logic).  Go Figure! hitself

(But I am on hiatus; right Brian! - man this is so hard)  But I did manage to only buy 5 posters over the past 9 days; but that's not counting the ones I bid on and lost...  hitself

  The hiatus thing has gotten easier since I got blown out on the Bday poster.  My snipe was off by 600. It was kind of demoralizing.  I was kind of like screw this hobby for about a day.  On the upside, about 15 frames arrived this week.   ;D

I've come around on those Lost In Translation B1s.  I think the Japanese version is the best version given the plot of the movie:

I thought it would be you Mel!  Looks like Walterfilm sold his only copy... its not listed on his site anymore.  So that means only 3 of these have surfaced at auction/dealers since 1998 (that I know at least)?

I would bet somebody reading this board saw our recent discussion of it and cut a deal with him. It sat there for a year at $750.

Pretty much all the Big Lebowski formats are righteous IMO.  I'm somewhat partial to the B1 but I really like the B2 with the bowling scene also.  Which one represents the film best?  I'd say they all do a good job of that.  A slightly better pic of the B1.  It was the first B1 added to my humble collection, and the only one I've seen.  One of only 2 of my B1s that have this Asmik Ace logo.

So who do we think snagged it?  I know T is too cheap!  Holiday?  Mark?  They both have impressive international 1-sheet collections. Someone else perhaps?

Thanks, Dr. Caul.  I haven't seen a Lebowski B0, but that's a great question for Hideyuki, Armin, or Ed King.  I would bet that one could find a hen's tooth easier than a B0 for sale, if they (B0s) exist.

Bloody Rare was one of the first to copy Dave L's initial strategy of loading up on soon to be more in demand stock (80's flicks) from poorly promoted eBay listings and then flipping them through a higher profile avenue, with better marketing and branding.

It's more than 3 times what I paid for my 30x40, and it's not in perfect condition, but close enough to "investment quality" for me.  For some gear, it's here today and may not be seen again for a long time again, if ever, so that probably works out well for sellers.

Bruce and Rich both auctioned Zombie 1 sheets this week.  Both were in fine condition.  Bruce's auction closed at $144 and Rich's at $108.  That's a 50% premium for Bruce.  It might have been even greater if the emovie one hadn't closed so high the day before as the movieposterbid one sat at $60 until the very end.

Also saw several items on both sites that went low this week.  I guess everyone is waiting for the halloween blowout.

actually it is exactly a 33% higher price for the one Bruce sold, but there could be several reasons, one being that because Anna is only working 4 days a week since her son went back to school that I haven't had time to do promotion because I'm working too many hours covering the slack (on top of already working too many hours) and honestly - I'm beat. However, which one of us (Bruce, his consignor or myself) made more money on the $144 or $108?. the answer: I did. So I can sell for 25% less than Bruce and make more money on the prospective sale. A plus for me, and of course, a big plus for bidders

That's a tough question, I wonder if Rich had consigned it to himself if he would have made more than $108?
I'm just happy to see you selling some posters for more than $20 so you can stop losing money.

Bruce, if the item was consigned to me, the seller would get $77 from me at a $108 sale
similarly, on your $144 sale, the seller would get $103.
the bigger difference however might be the time frame it would be sold. I have listed consigned items literally the day they have been received in the mail in some cases and we know it could take quite some time before you would get the poster out for sale and that time can be considerable, especially to someone trying to raise cash right now. So there are benefits on both sides of that equation. $77 now, or $103 in a period from a few months to "who knows when" (not ragging on you Bruce. just stating the facts)

However, seeing as I owned the poster and it sold for $108, I got $5 more than I would have gotten from you (had I consigned you the poster) and I have the $$ now, not later. All things being equal (like saying the consignor to you and myself were equally invested) for me, I am in the + (PS: I only had the poster for 1 week prior to listing it, so in this case my consignor (myself) got to market super-fast and got his cash faster.

OK, back at you, Rich.

108 * 75% = $81 on my calculator.

I see. If someone has one only poster to sell, they should send it to you, assuming I will get no more than 50% over the price you get and assuming they would rather have $81 now than $108 in a month or two.

I have been trying to get away from the consignors with just a few posters anyway (unless they are great ones, of course). I especially am trying to get away from the consignors who solely send me their much lesser items, or their hard to list items. Thankfully those are quickly being weeded out. I find that the very same ones who send me all their cast-off junk are the ones who complain about how long it takes me to auction it.

We are quickly approaching the time where we will be 100% caught up on old consignments, and more and more we prepare packages for auction as soon as they are opened (auctioning 100,000 items in a year will do that for you).

well not exactly Bruce, although people with a few posters in that price range are always happy to consign.

concerning lower values stuff.. even I'm starting a move away from it, at least selling as single items. It's no secret that your work is only valued by how much $ you make and every $100 poster only requires the same work as any $1 poster.. and that's why I've started selling bulk lots and I will be selling very many more so I can move that stuff along to those dealers who wish to list the stuff on fleaBay at higher prices than you or I get for such titles as well as to clear out space in my totally jam-packed warehouse for more merchandise coming in

and I commend you for catching up on those long-term consignor piles, some of which I know might be getting quite aged by now and if you're currently on a 2-month schedule for consignors. I know most people don't like to have material on consignment in someone's warehouse for a long period not producing income for them when they're trying to raise $$ to pay mortgages or when they're just out of work or have suffered a natural disaster like a flood or hurricane (or both or all of the above combined!), although I should point out a small mistake on your part. If you're on a 2-month schedule right now (I think the indication from your post is that you aren't yet), that means your consignor doesn't get his money for longer than 2 months as you get the poster up 60 days from receipt (or you're hoping to in the future), the item sells 1 week later (makes it 67 days to the actual sale of the item) and your payment schedule is 30-59 days later which makes 97-126 days before they get their $$$$. Obviously, it's a consignor's decision between my apples and your oranges when you take into account all of these facts. In the case of the consignor on those SW proofs I had, I got the posters out for sale in 24 hours after receipt (yes that is not usual) and he had his money less than a month after sale date, so for that consignor, it worked out as well as could be expected, presuming he was happy with the prices and he was.

that said, I would say to any consignor that they should choose between the many options they have.
Someone looking to sell by auction a 1947 Dracula re-issue would be better sending it to you, Heritage, profiles, or Sean as I might not be able to get any of your results on such a poster with my current members, although at some point I'm sure to be able to. But if someone has a collection of posters and lobby cards in the under $1000 and in particular under $500 range, where I've noticed my results have become (overall) reasonably in line with your results, then I could be just as good an outlet as anyone else, including you

That's the spirit, Rich, but you're not giving yourself enough credit.  You do good work and have a great website, M.O., etc.  In reference to your comment, the best advice I can give is (in the words of Eric Cartman) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ_8xhvTUMw).

There is so much I want to say here but there is always a bullshit PC answer even if it is wishy-washy.  All I know is that while your bottom line may improve by dismissing lower value posters some people see you sticking your nose in the air and providing little flexibility; this includes missing the not so low valued posters included large quantity consignments going elsewhere. 

Eventually, failing to cover this low poster value gap will create competitors that may actually be better at it than you and then you'll find yourself with unwanted competition.  If I had the time and start-up capital, I could definitely give you both a run for your money; because like any business at the end of the day its about relationships...  A trained monkey could auction a poster, but its how you deal with people that gets you better consignments and better customers. 

For Bruce:

That's one thing you have nailed with customer service, and trust though safe packaging and the original guarantee.  However, as rings true from the earlier statements, after several attempts, through PMs etc. on first with a single poster and then trying to figure out how to trim 300 - 400 posters from my collection, I basically get, through the Charlie translator:

 "I don't really want your posters to sell.  I think most of them are of low value, and I only want the really good stuff; $15 or more.  And next time send messages to Phillip and stop bothering me, you minion; I already have 800 other consignors that I think are better than you.  However, we can work something out, but you won't like it, so you'd be better off taking your posters somewhere else."

And then while viewing the last couple of weeks auctions I keep saying to myself.  There a poster that I was told not to send, and another, and another, and another all sub $10 not $15...  Does the guy just not know what his policy is? He'll sell other people's shit but not mine?

Not only did you lose a consignor, but I am now not such an eager customer (although always a satisfied one in the past).

For both of you:

Ever think that some customers like to nip off the low end posters once they have bought the higher end stuff? Or come for the lower end stuff and end up buying higher priced items? Or dealers buying the lower end stuff to resale?  What happens to those guys when you stop selling the cheap stuff?

Maybe instead of "weeding out" the lower value posters you should work on a more efficient way of auction preparation or redeveloping your business model to incorporate all poster values though different sales methods like the lot listings. 

Just MO...

+1 Charlie.  Thanks for bringing that up, because that is exactly what I was thinking.

I'm starting to get old, and need to put together some disposition hints for my kids.  I don't buy $1000 posters, and both Bruce and Rich just told me that they only want to cherry pick the best of what I have.  Ironically, this is the same stuff that they have happily sold me over the years since I buy from them more often than elsewhere.

Maybe Bruce feels now that there are other ways to go forward with low value (unprofitable) posters, now the business is now established and in a groove:
- introduce buyers premiums like Heritage so there is something like a $14 minimum buyers premium to cover listing costs
- I suspect (maybe stubbornly) instead to just don't accept the low value, loss making posters. 
- bundle as mentioned

There may be some benefits to making some sort of loss on the junk but sounds like Bruce probably has done his maths and is not worth it overall.

There are lots of poster auction houses that don't sell the junk, just individual posters starting from $50 or $100 up. They seem to do well and year after year are still there.

The Salvation Army stores here don't accept just any junk either, they also pick through and take what is worthwhile selling and leave me the rest!

I am the only major auctioneer that accepts inexpensive posters at all. Most places have a minimum value of $50, and one place insists that your overall consignment must have a minimum value of $5,000.

I auction a huge amount of $1 to $14 posters (over half of all I auction sells for between those amounts, whereas the company with the $14 buyers premiums never auctions a single poster for under $15).

All I ask of consignors is that their consignments AVERAGE at least $20 per item, and if they do, I take all they want me to auction (but I can easily show that on the least items, they do better to lot them up, but if they insist on single sale, I let them do so, as long as the items average $20).

Charlie, there IS a way for you to auction those 500 inexpensive items one by one, and that is to put them on eBay yourself. But I can't possibly do so for you, because I would lose a lot of money on them (and I would lose even if you gave me 100% of the sales!). You might ask Rich if he is willing to take them, but I suspect I know the answer.

Ask Mel or Thierry if they bought the hundreds of inexpensive posters they did thinking they could re-sell them at a profit by consigning them to an auction. I suspect I know that answer.

If you are buying inexpensive posters ($1 to $10 items) because you really like them great. But they just don't make sense as an investment. It would be much wiser to buy 10 $100 posters that to buy 500 $2 posters, if "return on your investment" is your primary goal.

I auction inexpensive posters (which no other major auction does) because they are fun and cost little (often far less than reproductions). But it is not profitable to do so, so I have to draw the line somewhere, and I explain above where my lines are drawn.

Hi Bruce,

I have a question regarding consignment.  I am trying to cull about 500 of my posters to get some organization to my madness.  My question is; if I just bundle them up and basically say you can auction them as a group or individually, would your staff actually go through and pull the ones they thought would do better individually?  I have several Very Good to Fine DS one sheets that I got from a theater manager and then some from a theater that are Good to Very Good.  The reason I ask is because in your auctions and regarding newer materials the Very Good to Fine actually have pulled the $15 while lesser condition copies are abysmal.  Your site says just get them to us and we will do the rest.  Just don't know if I need to be spending hours checking prices...  Of course there are some that are no brainers; got a Fargo DS and the recalled Thin Red Line Etc..  Just the commons/semi commons I am worried about.

Thanks,

Charlie

We'll auction your posters; "Just get them to us!"  But if we determine through assumption that we don't want to auction them, we'll just tell you to do it yourself?   clap

I think you're stuck on the assumption that all I am trying to trim are the posters that are inexpensive in nature.  I've been sorting them out and have a stack already over $15.  I have many doubles too that I don't need.  My collection has just swollen and I thought I could get rid of stuff I don't care for including the $30 and $40 poster up to $100 or more.

Another incorrect assumption.  I didn't buy these specific posters as investments or to flip.  At one point I thought I would never sell them.  I bought entire collections from two theater managers for .25 each a few years ago.  And they are not all inexpensive.  I have just started focusing my collecting and don't need the Iron Giants and Fargos cluttering up my storage space.  This is what irks me; you just make an assumption.

I really could care less about specific returns on these posters  (yeah I don't want to just give them away); which is why at one point I asked about auction credit. It just seemed inviting to trim some from storage, and perhaps have a few bucks to apply to a poster that interests me now.  And again here we go with the attitude that I would have no idea what I am doing even if I was trying to make a return on an investment.  I certainly wouldn't load up on Glitter one-sheets, but that is essentially what your attitude suggests.

When I starting thinking I would consign, I actually did make some flip purchases to include.  These would all have ranged from $30 to even possibly $1000 in ending price.  Your auction histories are available; would a person really not check to see what a potential investment would return if they consigned?

Ok, thanks for the explanation.  You response to my PM didn't indicate this. And it should be said that you did not say don't send them.

I guess it's not too smart to go to bat against a guy that has my credit card number.  :)

And Bruce I've got nothing against you personally. I don't even really know you.  I am just trying to point out the perception that stems from this wishy-washy attitude concerning consignment of low value posters.  You should learn from this.  You alienated a potential consignor and reasonably good customer (I'm not a high roller, yet. But I always pay on time); based on an assumption. 

How the heck do you know that a lot someone sends you will average $20?  By just accepting the consignors word?  Yes, as a business sub $15 posters are "bad business" but either you do it or you don't. If they are going to be a staple, you should think of ways to bring your auction cost prep down.  Do you really need to take pictures of sub $10 posters?  That seems like the most time consuming part; photos. You already have a database of poster information.  I think people would understand just a written condition statement for these with a standard photo.  If they bitch about the condition, you can just refund them the few dollars they spent.

This has gotten way to specific to my certain experience w/ Bruce and I apologize for my diatribe.  My goal was to point out the perception of "weeding-out" low value posters and how it impacts potential consignments.   I'm done...

Bruce has built up an incredible, efficient business model for moving volumes of low-dollar items, and he should be given kudos for being willing to tackle that segment of the market.
I suspect he will continue to lead in that area for many years to come.

He could be like other auction houses, stop auctioning anything less than $50, cut his staff by 2/3 and make a lot more money - but I think he has to be given major props for sticking to his guns and being willing to sell just about anything.

Not correct Jay. what I've been doing is looking for posters in my database that I have sold multiple times and never get more than 99 cents or $1.99. At this point, such items are an unusual use of my time when I could be listing posters worth $5 or more. So I'm making a list of them, going through my stock and removing them and stacking them up for sale in my bulk lots.
Unlike Bruce, the vast vast majority of items I sell are items I own personally, or own in partnership with a friend and I deal few consignments, largely because most of the time I buy the collection(s) that the consignors are looking to sell, complete, and then sell them at my leisure.

Now if someone wants to send me a 300 piece list to sell in a single auction and the entire consignment meets my specifications (that I must gross specific targets), as long as I meet that gross number, I'll take anything, even posters that will only sell for 99 cents because you're also sending me posters that will sell for $100-$200-$300-etc. However, if someone wants to send me 300 posters and none of them head into "the sweet spot", it isn't wise for me (or Bruce) to deal that material because there is no upside for me. If I must reach $2000 in gross income for myself for instance, that means that the consignor has to give me a selection that makes enough for both of us that it meets my criteria, otherwise I'm headed in a negative direction

To get back to my first comment, my criteria for elimination doesn't go outside my target of up to $2.00 for the time being, but down the road I may say everything under $5 gets axed. Right now though, let's say I've sold a poster 10 times and 8 times it sold for 99 cents & twice for $10, I'm not axing that poster - yet! If I sell it 10 more times and it doesn't get over $2 again.. it's gone.

another note: my warehouse has about 200,000 posters in it (also comics, pulps and anything else you can imagine) and many of the titles in there I have never sold and don't plan too, at least as singles. They're never going to get any real bidding, so they aren't useful to me. Clearly, I have no reason to let someone consign the same type of material because if I'm not going to sell $2 posters I own, it is complete foolishness for me to take them as consignments unless they are balanced by other posters that have good value.

all it really gets down to is the natural progression

House on haunted hill cant be a 3 sheet as the proportions are for a one sheet (or 40x60). Also on the 3 sht poster the image is flipped ie the woman hangs on the right side. It is not the 40x60 as the text in the bottom margin is not as per the 40x60, but as per the 27x41. Also of course a 3 sheet is typically made of 2 seperate sheets.
I referred to Heritage (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles&Ntt=house%20on%20haunted%20hill&Nty=1&N=54+790+231+&chkNotSold=0&Ns=)

I've had several 3 sheets come through my hands that consisted of two sections.

The seller has sold plenty of movie paper before so I am fairly confident he knows the difference between a 1 and 3 sheet.  Nice guy too.

Texta should come off no probs, and the sticker the buyer could pretty much do themselves...great buy if you ask me.

Well Ves, you can mark one competitor off your list. I am pretty much done with the Daybills (unless someone finds a Black Swan). Do they still make daybills for modern movies?

After trying to hang a few, they were all awkward to me.  They even come in different sizes; whatz up with that?

Charlie's Angels is just one example of people's stupidity (IMO, of course).  But there were many more of that tonight.  I blame Holiday for it.

As far as Cell goes, I cannot comprehend why people would want anything with Lopez on it.  She is so repulsive.  I blame Holiday again.

T

I wanted the set of 5 and I didn't want to spend time finding the last piece.  On average the set was ~$40/piece.  Time is at a premium these days and I was eyeballing those (in Holiday's collection?  Can't remember) for a long time.  There's the calculus folks.  That doesn't even figure in the ridiculous $/yen exchange rate, which is probably only going to get worse.

And I re-bought La Chinoise, one that I really regretted selling a while back, and at a good price too as far as I'm concerned.

I think anyone who buys a piece of paper for more than $5 has a special kind of stupidity, and by definition anyone on this board has it.  In moderation it's A-OK.

So you're "Bidder"! That was a bad movie but those were fun posters. The best one - surfing Diaz - was missing.  I did bid up to $125 on "bull riding Diaz" but gave up when it was obvious "Bidder" was going to get them all regardless of cost.

Oh well. I've got a date with a 6'1" redhead so I only cried a little bit.

I actually re-watched the DVDs on Charlies Angels #1+2 last week.
I remember when I first saw them, how I thought they were pathetic movies.
This time however I found myself being pleasantly entertained, so they now fall into the category of "re-appraise later on"

of course, we all like some cheesecake, even though Thierry hates Cameron

I wonder if, like Thierry hates "French Grande", if Thierry is going to filter Cameron Diaz to same?

I am, and have been for the longest time, physically repulsed by 3 women: Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez.  I cannot watch a movie with them, I stopped watching American Idol last year, it hurts my stomach to look at them.  Two of them are just butt ugly, and the third one is just the biggest bitch on this face of the Earth.  My neurosis put aside, I am a very loving and accepting individual  puke2.

This  (http://www.ebay.com/itm/300612209821?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649)sold for a really good price, yesterday.  Not in perfect condition, but rare enough to call it a steal.  I think the main problem with Dan's auction (or whatever is real name is) is the shipping price.  $25 is absolutely ridiculous, and I don't care if he ships 20 for the same price, $25 is absurd for one poster.  I really believe he's hurting his sales.  I know I don't buy for this reason.  Not because I can't afford it, more because I feel taken advantage of.  I bought one poster a few months ago and had it sent to Dale with other posters Dale bought, so I wouldn't pay shipping.  Dan is a good guy, and certainly passionate about the hobby, but his shipping is a killer.

I agree with this

Dan is a good guy and his authentications way back when were an important tool for the hobby.
I wish he had left the site up

and yes, the $25 definitely hurts him and his results. The ET is a good example o fthat, but I should mention that that poster overall does seem to have crapped out some in the last couple years

Well, I've seen it folded go for $500.  So I'd assume a rolled version would go higher than that, not less.  I know of at least 3 collectors, 4 with me, who don't look at his auctions because of the shipping fees.

Shipping out of Canada is not cheap. In the end, if his shipping is high, its by something like $5 to $10.  Also, he does ship in pvc so there's extra weight.  Don't get me wrong, I think the shipping price is high, but I don't freak out over it like some do (Thierry).  I've gotten some amazing posters from Dan over they years which have not been duplicated since.

Yes, I stopped tracking that because I figured it would go much higher. The shipping price is no big deal but he needs to give more details on the condition of the poster.  That one appears to have several prominent scratches:

if you buy 1 poster at $25 shipping, he's making $10 or more, even after buying a PVC tube
but it isn't just his shipping
no real descriptions in his auctions, stated 26-35 days shipping, and no return privileges

Yeah, I get that.  For someone who hasn't dealt with him, it's a tough sell.  But for me having a great track record with him, it's no issue.  I don't think I've ever only bought one poster from one of his auctions.  So, the shipping's no big deal.

Well, dorko, that's not true.  I'll admit that Dan is eccentric, to say the least. But you know as well as anyone that I don't suck ass just because someone's got good posters.  Well.... not usually....

Anyway, I don't think Dan follows any of the forums, really.  Let's give it a test...

Dan is on MoPo and there has been discussion in the past week
I found it interesting how the topic popped up here a day or so later, and not by the same source

Listen.. there is no question Dan has a good rep, and he has nice stuff. I've never spoken with him. The only reason I haven't bid on the few things I may have is because of the details I noted earlier and once I added $25, I was out financially. so the $25 is a make or break issue to some of us, depending of course on what we want.

if he had a Big Sleep half sheet up, I wouldn't complain about the $25, but I would take it into consideration.
But as I said on MoPo:
shipping costs should not be a revenue stream for the seller and I do think $25 is gouging. I ship lots of stuff North of the border out of the almost 2000 packages a year we ship and I definitely know how much it costs. $25 is generally out of line.

On the lower end of the market, I didn't end up with any of the S2 art prints, although I chased the Phantom of the Opera (which is sold out at retail) up to $450.  A couple of the not-so-savvy bidders paid HIGHER than current retail.  Almost all of these prints are available for $325 directly from the S2 Art Group (http://www.jackgallery.com/page.php?page=catalog&type=collection&collectionID=8&productTypeID=1).  I missed out on the Dracula chasing after the Phantom....

What's the standard going rate on the One Million Years/She Quad currently?  I was eying the one that ended today but it went higher than the two previous ones that sold earlier this year in better condition (one of them was even linenbacked) so I stayed away.

Don't get a linen backed one, there's plenty of rolled ones out there of this poster.

Pricewise, £50-80 for folded, up to £120 for rolled. Don't go any higher, as there are plenty out there and they do turn up regular...


It's a great poster, and should be worth more, but extras were printed at the time as give aways. Still originals, just more printed than normal.

I'm not anti-linenbacking (as most of you seem to be) so it really doesn't matter to me, only price matters.  I've heard about the extras being printed and how this particular poster is supposed to be attainable at a reasonable price, I've just yet to see one at a reasonable price.  I'd love to find one in the price range your quoting, but it seems they're all selling for 400+ (at least on emovie), I guess I just have to be patient and hope I can find one where two people aren't inflating the price.  Thanks for the info though, now I'll know what a reasonable price should be.

There are a couple of different sites that do this... I think the only limitation is that the item has to have a bid on it before eBay releases the # of watchers.  So theoretically you could have something with no bids and 100 watchers and it won't show up.

I just found this double sided orange version of a 1 sheet for 'Chamber of Secrets' (supposedly a style B), I looked on emovieposter and HA but couldn't see one sold before. The usual US and UK Intl. versions are green with a different composition of the main image (Dobi's on the left not right). Would be interested if anyone has seen/got one, knows if they're legit or not?

Well, I for one think its a beauty.  And that film scared the pants off me as a little one... I think I saw it when I was like 11 or 12!  (rocks back and forth in fetal position) I can still hear his knives/fingers screeching across the hand rail down in the boiler room!  Everyone gets attached to the movies from their childhood, and clearly horror is probably the most influential genre to our hobby.  This flick is probably one of, if not the most important horror movies of the 80s.  In retrospect, I think "The Thing" is a much better movie.  But as a wee one, I never even heard of The Thing.  EVERYONE'S heard of Freddy.

the one I think is really hilarious is Crab Haggards.. the body position and his smile just says how overjoyed he is

and of course, those big red lips on Bride of Haggard and that crazy hair are just too funny.
On Bride, I actually did make a "frankencard"
I sanded down a vintage lobby card to get rid of the image, and pasted a full size print onto that & had it displayed at Cinevent in 2010.. Many dealers and collectors came by asking "I heard about the Bride of Haggard card. Where is it, I'd love to see it". It gave everyone huge laughs.. Oh by the way.. it was $25,000, but I haven't sold it, if anyone is interested

You never cease to amaze me.
For a guy with an arts background and a huge collection of movie posters, you come up with a blank stare on many of the artists who make our hobby so damn cool.

Graham Humphreys is the genius behind many memorable UK quads from the 80s. Here is his website: http://www.grahamhumphreys.com/ (http://www.grahamhumphreys.com/)
APF member ed209uk conducted a great, in-depth interview with him here: http://www.filmonpaper.com/blog/an-interview-with-graham-humphreys/ (http://www.filmonpaper.com/blog/an-interview-with-graham-humphreys/)
You should read it. I read every word of it when he posted it to this forum and found it very informative. Thanks, Eddie!

As for Tom Hodge, if you think his art is "atrocious" and you got HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN for free, maybe you should pass it on to someone who cares. Like me.  wynk

Cheers Ted. I'm a big fan of Graham's work and IMO his quad for The Evil Dead is one of the best horror posters of all time.

With that being said, collecting posters would be a frustrating hobby if we all liked the same thing!

I may never cease to amaze you (which is a good thing), but what you just said doesn't make any sense to me at all.

First, as we all know, art is super subjective.  Second, because I have an art background and a collection of posters doesn't oblige me to like what I find displeasing to the eye.  Which, like Ed said, is probably a good thing for collectors.  There are many artists, past Stout, Struzan or Grinsson, that I like, just not the two you mentioned, and it is my prerogative, Ted.  I don't think it makes me less of an art lover, dumber or whatever you want to call it.  It is true that I have very classical tastes when it comes to fine art.  I like older stuff, I grew up with French Impressionism, and as a general rule, I am not too impressed with modern art past Picasso or Matisse.  It doesn't mean that I hate it all, it just means that I am more selective and more inclined to turn my back on it.  Art to me should not be aggressive, but pleasing, melodious.  What I see of the two artists above, along with people like Strausfeld, makes me grimace, and not in a good way.  I'm sorry if you don't like it, but this is the way I feel.

Did I miss something here?
I didn't ask you to like what you find "displeasing to the eye."
Personally, I could care less whether you like the works of Humphreys and Hodge.
Your loss, not mine.  wynk

What puzzles me is your utter disinterest in learning more about this art form and the artists responsible, especially when it is right under your nose.
Eddie went to a lot of effort to educate the rest of us in the work of Graham Humphreys by sharing his exclusive interview on this very forum.
I'm sure many of us read it.  Why you didn't is of no concern of mine.
But to say "I don't know who this Humphries dude is" after that post boggles my mind.

On the other hand, I routinely research poster artists that I learn of on this forum.
Before Eddie posted his Humphreys interview, I was unaware of the man's body of work.
That read broadened my horizons and further honed my assessment of the artistic abilities of others.
The appreciation of art -- and the development of a collection -- is a personal evolution we enthusiasts all go through.
Trust me, I don't want anyone to like what I like because I like it.
Variety is the spice of life.

It's already up on my website, it's buried somewhere in roll 3 of 2011, and I only have one of those posters, so I can't send it to you.  What comes in never leaves.  Plus, Dale has one for $22, you cheap bastard.  Buy it, if you love it so much.

And sorry if I don't read everything on the forum.  Luckily enough, we're thriving.  If Ed had posted on MPF, I would have had all the time in the world to read it... Months, maybe.  No, in all seriousness, I probably saw it (or didn't, I really don't know) and did not read it because I don't like the guy.  

My father, who was arguably one of the world's most esteemed art dealers, said something very smart to me one day.  I think we were at the Met.  It went something like this: Art connects your heart to your brain.  You may feel for something, and not understand it, or you may find something interesting, but feel no connection to it.  What makes a piece complete to the viewer is when the heart and the brain converge to make one.  If a piece does one and not the other, don't try to force it, just keep walking until you find what speaks to you.  You will then have a chance to see the entire museum and not get tired or frustrated half way through.

This is why I didn't read Ed's post.  I just kept walking to something that appealed to me.

I passed on this poster tonight :(

(http://cineetoile.com/uploads/thumbnails/medium/_MG_8972c.jpg)

A small auction house was auctioning it.  At Matt's suggestion, I drove inland yesterday for 45 minutes, missing important NCAA games, to check it out.  Apparently, the woman who was selling it paid $7k for it, which is ridiculous.  A close friend of mine is an expert in French posters (I got Laura and the '56 Et Dieu... Crea La Femme from him) told me he could find me one for 2k within a year or so.  But seeing how well Matt did with Star Wars, I was excited to get it for less (thinking maybe $1,000).  I was on the phone 30 minutes ago, I went up to my 2k limit and had to see it go...  Even in small auction houses in the middle of nowhere, people bid big.

Sigh.

I still don't know why people bid early. If every bidder refrained from bidding until the final seconds, with a mass snipe blitz, the final price might have reached $20

You have no idea how many times a day I ask myself this question...  Bruce's auctions, always the same braindeads bidding early, Heritage, Rich, same shit.  And then Ebay...  I keep watching, and watching, telling myself, don't you people know I'm going to get it?  STOP!!!  But they don't.  They never stop.

I have to counter here.  Sometimes I just bid the opening bid.  I have no emotions whether I get it or not.  But why waste 25 cents or the time to set up a snipe.  If I get it its a great deal.  Else, it will come around again...

I was following that Elm Street Quad last night and had planned a cheeky bid - I wasn't expecting £500! I've bought from the seller before and he seems a good egg, but private bidding always scares me a little...especially when one went about 6 weeks ago for around £145 (not in such good condition, but still rolled I think). Still, odd things can happen on a Sunday night.

There was also another rolled Elm Street Quad listed which was due to finish a day or two after that one, but it seems to have been pulled at around £82. Off auction sale perhaps...

I have found that on Rich's auctions that placing a serious bid 3-4 hours before close is about as successful as waiting for the 2 minute snipe window.  It also means that I am not tempted to bid above my logical limit for that poster.  Yep, lose some, but I lose em with 2 minutes left as well.

Bruce's auctions, not so much.  Got to bid near 5 min left or I get nothing.

Thierry.. if no one bid until the last minutes in any auction anywhere... you'd see alot less quality stuff being sold and maybe a lot less auctions as well.

an auction is a two-sided affair: buyer & seller. Early bidders give the seller an assurance that what they are selling will not sell for peanuts, while late bidders stand there ofering peanuts (well, sometimes :- ) )

as a dealer, I want all the early bidding I can get, as abuyer you're looking for the cheapest price possible.

Ebay cuts the clock off.. Bruce and I do not and while cuts the clock on Sundays, they don't on quartlerly auctions..

it's a real mix of reasoning on both sides of the business

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on November 07, 2011, 12:54:25 PM
I might also mention, many many many items listed as auctions on fleaBay that do not get bids before the last day are ended early by the seller who isn't looking for a low price (I think they should leave it up) and/or sold as a BIN on the final day when the seller gets scared of a low price.

Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: guest8 on November 07, 2011, 01:27:26 PM
I think its all a matter of perception anyways .. early bidding is no different that last minute bidding .. If someone bids $500 with days left .. and the auction sits at $20 until the last 5 seconds .. when 4 snipers bid $400 $300 $25 $50 .. The original bidder will win it .. Now imagine all 5 wait until the last 5 seconds to bid and you have simultaneous bids with seconds left of $50 $25 $300 $400 and $500 .. The high bid will be the same .. Both auction will have sold to the highest bidder at $401 ..

Now even if the earlier bidder isnt the highest bidder .. The early bidder is now the $300 bid .. and you have snipers coming in at 50 25 400 and 500 .. the 500 guy will still win it ..

All early bidding does is it removes the illusion that we may be get something for dirt cheap .. I mean the high bidder will always win it if they bid at day one or with only seconds left ..  But if you were one of the people bidding $50 and $25 on a $500 poster you are day dreaming anyways .. Lots of early activity makes the auction house look good (but so does a last second bidding war)  .. and it helps reassure the seller that they did the right thing.

It all comes down to the fact that we all hope to get a great poster at a fraction of its "market value" and if the auction sits at $.99 the entire time our fantasy lives on until the high bidder stomps our ass at the last second. We dont get to live that fantasy out if there is a lot of early bidding on a poster. So .. as I said its all a matter of perception .. It will always end up selling to the one willing to pay the most no matter when you place your bids.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: jayn_j on November 07, 2011, 01:48:12 PM
The only problem with that analysis is that it gives people more time to decide they are actually willing to spend more.  It also calls attention to the item, especially in Bruce's listings where you can list the items descending in price.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: guest8 on November 07, 2011, 02:06:49 PM
Well if something is getting enough early bidding that it comes up at the top of the list when you sort by bid amount .. Its probably safe to assume its a sought after piece and either way the prices will go higher.

If anything is possible .. Early bidding may dissuade some people from bidding .. But that is typically the people that were going to toss in a throw away bid of like $25 .. Which dont really add anything to the over all bidding of an item.

That was interesting to watch that Quad.

Your right in you fears about "Private" Auctions, I never bid my top bid on auctions of that kind. For example, if it's a £100 poster I will only go to £60/70, and if I don't win, at least I know I haven't been ripped off. I don't know why Ebay allows sellers to hide bidders names, it's bad enough with this two letters and 3 star thing...     I'm all for open and honest in Auctions, I'm sure Ebay knows sellers push their own prices up, but it's all money in Ebays pockets.

I honestly do.  I don't see anything remotely attractive about this poster.  But hey, I'm sure a lot of people think my French Horror of Dracula is ugly, or the Laura I just acquired.  I think someone even wondered if the hand above her head was picking out lice.  I'm quite okay with that.  To each his own.  My taste is mine, not to shared with anyone except my wife.  Take Strausfield's Taxi Driver.  Lots of people love it.  I think it is one of the ugliest posters ever.  Great.  My opinion, theirs, who cares.

I hate this extended auction stuff Bruce I really do, snipe it and forget about it is my type of auction.

If the auction gets a bid right at closing and it does not go past the current high bidders proxy, does that extend it or is it over at the scheduled time?

Five minutes must pass with no bid. So ANY bid placed within five minutes of the auction end extends it until five minutes after that bid was placed, whether or not the bid resulted in a new high bidder.

I am SO glad Ebay doesn't play this game.  A nice clean snipe within 2 seconds of the end... and game over.  This is how I like my bidding.

I totally agree.  I hate the extended bidding.   Based on the number of tue/thur where I wasn't able to be at my computer, he's lost money from me.  At a minimum, it shouldn't go into extended bidding unless there's a new high bidder.  That would at least minimize the number of 'fish' bidding that goes on in the last 5 min,  someone who places 50 $5 incremental bids trying to find the top.

"Based on the number of tue/thur where I wasn't able to be at my computer, he's lost money from me."

Therefore, if I follow this, the extended bidding resulted in LOWER prices for those who were at their computers (or who left bids). Don't most bidders WANT lower prices?

But if extended bidding results in lower prices, how come no consignor ever complains about it?

I guess people just don't use common sense.  If they simply bid their best price before the deadline, we wouldn't need any of this.  The problem is that people keep thinking like this is a normal in-person auction where you bid just enough to win.  Doesn't help at all with proxy bidding.

And to the others, it shouldn't make a difference for snipong either if everyone played fair.  The people who complain are those that don't like the fact that others have a chance to react to snipes.  I have always felt that the practice of sniping is dishonest and artificial.

"Bruce, did you read what Danny said about extending bidding ONLY if there is a new high bidder?  Does that seem crazy to you?"

It doesn't seem crazy, but it is not how the software works, and it would likely be very hard to do it this way, but I am not technically savvy. The auction software is from our auction host, auctionanything.com and only they can change it.

The thing about the current system is that there MUST be five minutes with no bidding for an auction to end.

When we first left eBay, hundreds of people swore they would never bid in time-extended auctions, but one by one almost all of them have returned. After all, if you watch a poster sell for less than you would have paid "on principle", then aren't you cutting off your nose to spite your face?

But those who have huge philosophical objections to time extensions should not bid, so that they feel better, and so that those who do bid pay lower prices.

Extended just costs me posters I want. A lot of times there are too many to go back to so I put a reasonable bid in and lose 90% of the time. There is not a poster that has been printed that I like enough to put a stupid bid on just to make sure I win it.

If you lose more in our auctions, it is solely because it is a fact of life that more people follow our auctions than all of eBay's (because they have ruined their site).

Thierry I completely disagree that extended bidding is not buyer friendly

I bid on a lot of Bruce stuff ad because of the extended bidding, my win ratio is definitely higher than it was before, and I never lose anything I wanted really, really, really bad now.
I even remember 2 times I was here at the warehouse in teh back, forgot I was bidding on an item, ran up front & got a bid in with 1 second left after it had already been extended and won both times from the final extension. Had the items not already been extended, I would not have been able to get in another bid

Truly, if an item sells for more than I want to pay because of an extended bidding situation, there is no doubt that I absolutely was able to give it my best shot, which you rarely do when sniping on ebay

My sense is that we have more auction sales each week (both by volume and by dollar) than all of eBay, once you take out the repros, the fakes, the unpaid for items, etc.

And that is so sad. If eBay was not run by fools, they could still have all the movie poster auctions AND still have a "for sale" site like what they already have.

True .. but that kind of goes back to what Dale was talking about .. We may say this is a tight nit forum .. and we look out for one another .. but if another "Roads" poster popped up for $200 .. I bet nearly everyone would buy it up themselves instead of telling someone else about it .. and then either keep it or resell it, INCLUDING the people that have multiple copies already .. But if we were a real "family" we'd hang back and let those who dont have a copy get a chance at one at a great price .. If we were as close as we say we are we could post up sought after posters .. that and we still have the lurkers to worry about :P

This auction literally just ended for a french one panel for the EYES WITHOUT A FACE. In the description, the seller states that the dimensions are 44.5" x 61.5". Can there be this much leeway, form the traditional measurement of 47x63 inches? Almost 3 inches difference on the width and 2.5" on the length seems a bit much. (Unless the seller measured incorrectly).

I bid on it and was 10 bucks short of final price. Not like me to miss out as I usually get all in my path but I am skint at the mo... Normal size is 63 x47 and as Thierry knows this size is a Thierry hates "French Grande" not a Double Grande, so the seller likely doesn't know what size to expect when measuring so a bit smaller I guess because of this and measuring it not properly flat.

Sellers description:
It measures a whopping 44.5" x 61.5" and is considered to be a double grande poster.

I bid on it and was 10 bucks short of final price. Not like me to miss out as I usually get all in my path but I am skint at the mo... Normal size is 63 x47 and as Thierry knows this size is a French Thierry hates "Thierry hates "French Grande"" not a Double Thierry hates "Thierry hates "French Grande"", so the seller likely doesn't know what size to expect when measuring so a bit smaller I guess because of this and measuring it not properly flat.

Sellers description:
It measures a whopping 44.5" x 61.5" and is considered to be a double Thierry hates "Thierry hates "French Grande"" poster.

don't worry Steve.. it found a good home

At Christies London yesterday the hammer price on a Jungle Book one sheet was £2500 ($3930)  - prices are always crazy on this poster there but this goes off the scale. With 30% commission/VAT the buyer pays £3250 ($5100).

That's definitely pretty high, especially since there was that stash of trifolds found making them show up at auction rather frequently.  A lot of times, I think Christie's draws non-collectors who just want one poster for some reason.  They know and care little about market prices.

That Christie's auction was a strange one.  Folks seemed to be passing on the quality items right and left, (no doubt too high reserves), but gobbling up the common-as-dirt crap.  B&W "Mean Streets", $1600, "Raging Bull" advance, $1200.  Granted, the exchange rate is doing wonders for the dollar value, but still...

Lot of good stuff sold today at EMP.  I didn't get anything - everything I wanted sold relatively high. I really liked this "My Best Friend The Devil" (1922 US 3S) which went for $1055:

"Bruce auctions" always have me at the computer as long as I need to be unless I'm busy and forget
most of my wins are in time extension.

"that poster".. yes, I've been looking for it for a long time.. like 10 years or something. But the larger size, of which one is hanging up at the Hard Rock Casino in the coffee shop, is really the poster I want. It is about as good a Las Vegas showgirl image can get.

Recently ended on ebay, this great looking 1920 poster for "Treasure Island", with a cast that includes Lon Chaney. Size is 14" x 22" (a quarter sheet?, reproduction?) Any expert around?

(http://www.biggerbids.com/members/images/23048/public/2735041_IMG-2507.jpg)

According to wikipedia, "Treasure Island" is a lost film, and according to the seller listing "I had the film to go with this and tried watching it but it was poor quality and I couldn't hear any sound so I threw it out"

This leaves just 2 options. Either the seller is lying about having the film or... he deserves an eternal ass-kicking for throwing it (I couldn't hear any sound... yes moron! it`s a silent... moron1)

WC it is  :D

If the guy has this WC for a 1920 film, it may not be impossible that he also has (or had) a copy of the film, right?
So, if he threw it away (as his listing says)... how much $ did he lost, and how much must he be punished for trashing this rarity?

"Treasure Island" sure looks right to me.  Hope it's not stuck on that cardboard though.  Would clean up just fine, imho.

I don't think there's much commercial value to finding old "lost" films, I'd be surprised if any of the DVD sales even recoup an expensive restoration, and suspect even a transfer to safety film is barely a breakeven venture.  The bragging rights would be priceless though, as would giving back a bit of cinema history.  If the story is true, he's a jackass.

here they are Ted.. they were all in poor shape and really the Treasure Island was the only important item. That title is obviously rare and while I am surprised at the price in this condition, I'm not entirely surprised. Of course, I love the gag he put in there about the film print & can't believe anyone thinks he really meant it.

Just thought I would share this.  Me and my dad found this and some others at an old man's house in south Texas in 2006/2007.  I put it on eBay way back when I didn't know much about older posters (during my Paltrow collecting days).  I've been trying to find these pictures for quite some time and ran across them this morning.  I think it sold for $120 or something. Man I wish I would have been as knowledgeable as I am now.  Enjoy! Check out the snipe on the back...

One of them has a personal message, presumably from Taylor, which drove up the price.

Of course, the real action was in the diamond sales - $115,000,000....

Yup - I had a similar experience to that when tryong to buy the Premiere brochure to Thunderball from someone whose family member had worked on the production.

I wondered the same.

Is it autographed? No. 

Does it come complete with a photograph showing him being handed it?  No.

Then why are you asking such a ridiculously high sum other than you don't really want to part with it??

I truly don't understand the recent BAT prices, the $13K one really threw me just insane IMHO. I was watching the one at Bruce's and figured that it may have scared off a few so was in the hunt for the one at Heritage but pulled out a few bucks or so before the final bid - that said, if the person who won it really wanted it then he would have kept going and taken all of us out I am sure. Maybe he was the $13K buyer and is now trying to lower the average price of his stock?!

and nitrate negatives even more so.  Any pre-war nitrate stock is highly flammable and subject to rapid degradation.  This stuff has been known to spontaneously combust, so it needs to be stored dry and cool.  Personally, I wouldn't touch it.

So any thoughts on this one that just sold on Bruce's for almost $300... I love Hammer, I love Italian posters especially the big ones but the appeal of this one confuses me.  Okay it's probably somewhat rare, but it's probably one the the uglier Italian Hammer posters I've seen.  Ironically someone was selling one of these on eBay and immediately took it down not to long ago, still had about 5 days and already had a few bids on it.  They must have been watching this go down.

I can't feel guilty, Stew.  My name is recognizable, so if the bidder knows who I am, he also knows he's going against me.  Therefore, it's an open contest and I have no shame toying with the person and raising the final price.  I have enough posters to know that everything comes around again, so I'll just wait for the next one, or the one after that.

That's the way auctions work, what's to feel guilty about?  It's not like he was bidding on a poster he didn't want just to raise the price, and doing that would frankly be pretty stupid because of the likely hood you'd actually win.  I get the attitude.  It's easier to lose an auction when you have the mindset you made the other person work for it, but truth is the person who won paid what they were willing to pay, it's not toying with someone when you have no idea what they are willing to pay and you could easily be the winner at the higher price yourself.

Agreed, but at some point money is not even the issue anymore, it's about making the other one pay.  But it does work both ways, I agree.  I have been caught in my own game before where I end up paying too much for an item.  70% of the time, though, it goes the other way.  So that makes me happy.

Yea, there's a lot of people out there that will do anything to win even if it means paying an arm and a leg for something.  Personally I don't have that mentality, I don't need anything that badly, or have a strange desire to win everything I bid on, I know my limits.  That can be a costly form of entertainment you have there though, but I guess if you've done it long enough you can easily weed out the bidders who look like they won't stop, even if you get hit at least your getting something you want... that's assuming your not doing that on items your not nterested in at all, now I would find that messed up.

Gotta give Lucas some credit on this one.  He spent $100 million of his own money on this movie and the conventional wisdom is that a movie with an all black cast will fail - limited domestic market, no foreign market. Check out his appearance on the Daily Show. (http://globalgrind.com/entertainment/george-lucas-drops-red-tails-bomb-usa-today-video-black-cast)

As far as the poster, I showed it to one of my colleagues, and he said "it's the coolest poster you've ever bought" so it has its own appeal.....

Gotta give Lucas some credit on this one.  He spent $100 million of his own money on this movie and the conventional wisdom is that a movie with an all black cast will fail - limited domestic market, no foreign market. Check out his appearance on the Daily Show. (http://globalgrind.com/entertainment/george-lucas-drops-red-tails-bomb-usa-today-video-black-cast)

As far as the poster, I showed it to one of my colleagues, and he said "it's the coolest poster you've ever bought" so it has its own appeal.....

You bought that Bus Shelter poster Mel?

Problem is, as you've said before T, you hate hanging out with other collectors, so I'm guessing they aren't. A poster collector, or film person would know exactly what you have.

Sometimes it's good to know a few other poster/film geeks... ;)

Never fear, it seems all hope is not lost for the youth of today.
My nephew (17 years old) is on holidays and asked me for some movies he could watch.
Gave him a bunch which included Kubrick's THE KILLING.
He loved it!  I was shocked, but it eases my mind a little to know that a good filum can still be appreciated even if it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of todays "blockbusters".

A girl at a McDonald's drive thru didn't know who Clint Eastwood was... that's significantly worse than not knowing the film Laura, which I'll admit I'm not even familiar with.  But Clint Eastwood... c'mon! This was a conversation two McDonald's employee's where having when I drove up, not something I asked.

I also wondered if the measurements taken are when it is framed?,the frame seems to obscure any printers credits..I too am just commenting..if the consensus is that its fake,you guys are most probably right.

The feedback of the seller (which is 0) and the fact they're only selling a couple items that aren't posters, I'd have shied away from that one.  Not saying he's dishonest, maybe he just doesn't know.  I always shy away from new ebay sellers unless they've got a pretty big inventory that looks legit.

there is almost always one for sale. If there was always a UK bus shelter or international 1sh available, the price would drop like a brick

Kubrick is my all-time favorite director.  And while I don't give a crap about signatures from actors, I would love to someday own some unique signed posters from Kubrick & Leone.  I might be waiting a long time for something like this to pop up again. 

Oh well, I found myself tallying up all the posters in my head that I would have to sell to get this and I eventually decided to let it go...

Although I really, REALLY don't understand why anyone would pay anything on something signed.  I just don't get it.  It's all fake to me.  I don't care where it's coming from, if it's not signed to you IN PERSON, it's shit.  What is the point of owning something signed by - maybe - the right person?  And even if it is the right person, which I would doubt for the rest of my life, how can you, or your children, prove it the day you decide to part with your oh so precious poster.  It is a total mystery to me.

Beyond that, why would you want something that is not signed to you?

There are plenty of people out there who have made a profession out of verifying signatures, like that guy Drew on Pawn Stars.

This is total bullshit (excuse my French).  I have a friend who can mimic to perfection anyone's signature after seeing it only once.  He did mine, mixed it up with the real thing and I couldn't tell.  No one can verify a signature.  There are so many gullible people out there, I am not surprised anyone would abuse people's good faith in order to make a living.

Whatever, you get something verified by someone like that people are willing to pay more.  I'm like you who cares about a signature unless you were the one who got it, it means nothing to me.  But they make things worth more, if that makes the buyers gullible that isn't my problem, their gullibility makes me more money.  I'm surprised you're not applauding these verifiers, you the person who makes a hobby out of running up auctions for pure pleasure!  Seems to me you prey on the gullible.  ;)

This doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.  These so-called "verifiers" are crooks.  They make a living out of a lie.  Why should I applaud them?  And what does it have to do with taking pleasure in making someone pay more for something I want?  I don't see the parallel, sorry.

No matter.  I think "crooks" is a little hard, you can say there are crooks in every profession.  If you did a little research I think you'd find they have to go through a lot of studying to be able to do it, it's not like becoming a notary.  I think there are some individuals out their who have a talent for studying signatures because they've got the training and experience of studying thousands of them!  Just because your friend can duplicate your signature and you can't tell doesn't mean there aren't ways to tell.  Have you studied your signature? Determined the patterns, did you take out your magnifying glass and really look at it?  Did you compare it to dozens of other signatures you know are yours?  I doubt it.  It's pretty harsh to label an entire profession as a crock solely on the basis you can't tell your signature from your friends at a glance.

And the only parallel I was playfully hinting at is the fact you say they abuse gullible people by taking their money when you get joy out of making gullible people pay more money.  Both situations gullible people are supposedly being played, so why would you care?  I thought it was pretty clear.  Anyhow I'm sure there are some trustworthy people out there who know what they're doing, why don't you do a little research on the process and the training before you shun the whole profession as "a lie".  Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it's not valid.

I know a dude who is a professional.  He doesn't forge posters, just everything else.
Incredibly good at it.  He just needs a copy to look at while his hand does the rest.
One or two trial runs and he's good to go.
Started as a kid forging absentee notes from his parents.

An autograph makes a mass produced poster individually unique - so long as the authenticity/provenance of the signature can be established to a reasonable degree and other considerations are met, it is a commercial fact that a poster signed by an important director or leading star becomes more desirable and therefore valuable, whatever the personal views expressed on this forum.   

I initially considered bidding on the Kubrick-signed Clockwork Orange when it was first listed as I collect director-signed posters as well. However, I thought the poster was in poor condition and I did not like the appearance and position of the signature. Although Kubrick was considered reclusive he was not averse to signing memorabilia and for the sort of money that was eventually paid it should be possible to find a much better example.

John Landis is one of only two individuals (the other was John Hurt) I have ever paid for their autograph - he attended a convention in London and was charging £20/autograph I recall - I got American Werewolf, Trading Places, Animal House and Blues Brothers one sheets signed. I made an exception in this case in view of his status as a director as I would never consider paying normally - I would never ask, let alone pay, C-list celebrities typically found at such conventions to sign any posters as that dimishes value in my opinion.

I think this all boils down to, if you are a "pure" poster collector, you don't want anything on that poster. To people who just love film, like myself, who would pay that bit more if I knew the signature was genuine. But, For that I personally would want many photo's of the signing taking place, and one where I could see the poster it's self...

I have only ever bought one poster I never personally witnessed getting signed, but the guy I bough it off showed me the photo's of him with the Director, and the Director signing the poster.  All the signatures I have obtained on mine Yvonne Has Video taped the event. More for personal reasons than Authentication.

I quite agree with most of what Mark has said, though who you would call C-list in a "B" picture is up for debate... If I like the Actor/Director/Guy who swept up after filming, enough I would get them to sign it. As I have No intentions of selling, these are for my own pleasure, I know they are genuine, and aren't in this game to make money. So couldn't give two F**ks if people don't want to believe if it's a genuine signature or not. 

It's the same as anything, if you know your subject you will be fine. If you don't you'll waste money on a fakes......I wonder how many of you "poster" collectors have a Repro in your collection, you bought without knowing it was.......Come on hands up.... eyeroll

Yes if it was signed to you, and yes if you were there when it was signed.  Anything short of that cannot be trusted, IMO.

I personally don't understand what a signature on a piece of paper does to people.  I accept it, but I don't understand it.  Someone wrote his/her name with black ink... Yippee-ki-yay!  I do get that it matters to some, so I can't really bash the concept.  After all, I do collect movie posters, which is the most absurd waste of time and money to 99% of the population.  If you were at a convention, or at a premiere, and had someone you like autograph a piece of paper, and if it makes you happy, more power to you.

What I do not get are all these people buying signed items at auctions, on Ebay or anywhere else and believing their idol signed it in person because of a bullshit COA, or because one of the charlatans who makes a business out of fooling the gullible told them it is.

Post by: eatbrie on January 23, 2012, 03:08:11 PM
It's a little different, because it's not the signature you focus on when verifying a piece of fine art's authenticity, but the entire painting, watercolor or drawing.  A Degas signature is important, of course, but it is so simple a child could reproduce it.  In this specific case, you would also examine the age of the signature, along with the rest of the piece.  I don't think any of this can be done to Sylvester Stallone's signature on a Rocky poster.

Well, looks like somebody thought this Godzilla poster was the real deal and got it for $255 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MOVIE-POSTER-GODZILLA-KING-MONSTERS-1-Sheet-/130631904009?autorefresh=true).  The size was 26.5 x 39.5 but possibly trimmed. However, the bottom NSS paragraph and logo (bottom logo) seemed to be the real deal. The seller wrote:

Unsure of the age of this vintage movie poster. It was in with a grouping of several original Western theater posters, and a few vintage sci-fi posters.  Rolled, with edge wear and tear, but still has very bright graphics, and would look sweet framed. I am not an expert on movie posters, but it is my guess that this is a vintage poster, but, a later copy. Rough size of 26-1/2" x 39-1/2".

The 40x60 certainly stands out but in the end the one sheet is the winner b/c you get the whole enchilada:

How do you get something like this restored?  It's missing half the poster?  What's the point?  It's worthless, IMO.

I think the bigger problem is probably that it's card stock and has a lot of water staining and ink discolouration. 

Really the credits (the 10 inches that are missing) could be replaced.  This is done for window cards that have been trimmed quite frequently.

Post by: Dread_Pirate_Mel on January 28, 2012, 07:23:36 PM
You don't have to replace the bottom 10" - the title and essential credits are at the top - if it had to be trimmed, that was the "least harmful trim" possible.  The water-staining is the big problem IMHO.

I agree about the water staining on a card stock poster (as I outlined) but if the buyer is planning on reselling and not keeping it - the missing 10 inches certainly need to be restored for any hope of getting a nice price.

IMHO .. Good to very good is just a touch below the condition that Id like most of my posters to be in .. I cant complain enough about how misleading I feel that fair/good/fine grading scale is .. Ill take the C scale any day over that one.

On Bruce's grading scale I rarely consider anything below very good.  For modern posters, I wouldn't even consider it.  The Winter's Bone posters would have gone for more had I seen them earlier.

I wanted the Winter's Bone posters too but didn't bid because Holiday was already there.  Same with a couple of posters HarryCaul wanted.  I usually don't bid when I recognize the name of the buyer and he's a friend.

You've piqued my interest...

But after a quick look, the 'B' style doesn't seem that much more rare.  And the eBay price doesn't seem all that far off what HA sold one for in similar condition: http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7019&lotNo=85500#Photo

If I were investing in this poster for profit I wouldn't have bid that high.  After HA fees, multiple shipping costs, and potentially restoration costs -- I don't think anyone could bank on a profit at that sale price.

And I agree with CSM, large tear (which will seal easily enough), but the main problem is the long dust shadow going the length of the left side. Will have to airbrush all of the borders if you want that fixed.

Popped into Bruce's place today...had my eye on almost 60 pieces (no not all Daybills), ended up with 15 - paid over the odds on a couple but my wife likes them so it doesn't count.  :-\ But feel I picked up a bargain or two as well.

The exchange rate is running at $1.07 so I win again, it's late afternoon on Friday so it's time for a glass or two of wine (the bonus); I bought my wife a dozen roses for the hell of it so I will be in the good books for a few days and amazingly the weather looks like it will be OK for a cycle ride on Sunday...

Hope your day was just as good. ;)

So who was the joker who paid $252 for a Hannah and her Sisters daybill on emovieposter.com today?
I was quite happy with the $2 I paid for it.

Which explains why NOW is a wonderful time to put together a batch of unwanted daybills and send them off to us for our next auction! What is so great is that they don't weigh very much, so a package of 100 or more doesn't cost much in shipping. And then it could be YOU getting those results next time!

Bruce

P.S. Of course we would also gladly accept one-sheeters or other sizes as well!

I'm kind of curious about this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160726736920?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/DARK-KNIGHT-Movie-Theater-Poster-STYLE-B-27x40-double-sided-ORIGINAL-/00/s/ODE0WDU1MA==/$(KGrHqV,!ocE8VnjqYrCBPJ0EWzB6g~~60_12.JPG)

It's a NM recalled Dark Knight DS poster with the Joker. I've seen these things normally go for between $120-$200+ in worse condition, but this one ended with only two bids for $50.99. The seller has an outstanding feedback rating. I looked at the poster and, based on the authentication guide I found for this type of poster, it seems 100% genuine. I was planning on bidding on it, but got stuck in a meeting and was literally one minute late. But I was wondering why it went for, comparatively, so little.

Yes, the seller is 100% legit.

Honestly, there are so many of these posters, I don't even know why they sell above $10.  Email the seller to find out if he has more of them.

I thought they were recalled/destroyed shortly after they begun being distributed due to the death of Heath Ledger or something like that?

Discontinued, recalled, replaced... in this day and age, once it's out, it's viral.  I don't know how many of these they printed, but I'm guessing at least 10,000.  Even if there are only 5,000 left, it's still 5,000.  I must have 5 or 6 of those somewhere.  I'm sure some people are sitting on tubes of 25 waiting for the next Batman to come along (Rich??)  The deal is to not let them out at the same time.  Bottom line is, it was a major release for a major studio, and the posters are out there.

So I guess you could say that, in some ways, the movie poster market, at least in regards to some of the newer movies and posters, is similar to the diamond market. Where most of the items in existence are tightly controlled to keep a very limited supply available for purchase to create a fictitious limited availability to drive the prices up. As demand goes up, the number of pieces released goes up to meet the new demand. But the "actual rarity" versus perceived rarity is very different.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Silhouette on February 11, 2012, 01:01:42 PM

Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on February 11, 2012, 01:02:19 PM
I do believe that, yes.  This is why so-called "rare" posters keep popping up every so often.  There are rare modern posters (Donnie Darko comes to mind) but the movies were usually not studio movies, acquired a fan base over time, and the posters were printed in much smaller quantities.

I disagree.  If you're sitting on 50 Batman posters, you'd be a fool to release them all at the same time.  You look at the market, you see what's out there, you find your niche and make your $100 on a monthly or bi-monthly basis.  Multiply that by 10 or 20 titles and you're doing fine.

I don't disagree with that point that however the statement was "Where most of the items in existence are tightly controlled to keep a very limited supply available for purchase to create a fictitious limited availability to drive the prices up." I simply doubt that there is that sort supplier(s)  'controlling' the market to that sort of level. The diamond market (as was the example) as I understand it, is controlled by an extreme few and collusion is the norm not the exception.

Wow, thanks for showing that. Yeah, I see your point. There is a huge difference between someone being funny versus being a condescending a-hole. This guy certainly falls under the latter category. I don't know how many people didn't bid because of it, but I imagine anyone who read that rant would have had second thoughts. I think this one was the worst:
Quote
The Question: You have a big, fancy auction listing, but you should make it more apparent whether the poster is double-sided or not. Just the FACTS please.

My Answer: F-you buddy. Go make your own auction listing if you dont like mine.

Wow... Or maybe this one:

Quote
The Question: Thank you so much! You gave my daughter EXACTLY what she wanted!

My Answer: Your wife is next.

Or this one:

Quote
The Question: Could you put a note with this poster, "To the most beautiful 8 year old girl in the world!"

My Answer: Id rather not. Being featured on Dateline once this month already was enough for me.

What a douchebag.

I am glad that you came to it on your own.  I actually find his rant funny, for the most part, but there are plenty of other reason to arrive at that determination.

The upshot is that these poster were NEVER recalled, but unscrupulous sellers (particularly this guy) have spread the misinformation for personal gain.

See this thread for the story on this seller (username Hargon on the message boards since the beginning) and these posters...

Well, I've got a date with "Bookshelf Blondie" ("great bookshelves!") tonight. She seemed rather terrified and perturbed when I showed her my Night of the Living Dead mylar poster.  I swear these girlies don't have a clue about what's cool!

(http://www.posternirvana.com/Main/Genre-Horror/pictures/picture-35.jpg)

By the way I bid $357 for the James Bond View To A Kill UK poster (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2477585) at the last minute but somebody topped it.  That was the most I could do b/c it had a chip in it.  (It is the only major James Bond one sheet I do not own, so if anybody wants to sell at a reasonable price.....)

In my humble and very limited experienced opinion, I think there was a lot of overpaying even on the low end stuff tonight. As I had spent a ton of money last Sunday, I was planning on only getting some cheaper pieces today. Granted I wound up getting 2 more expensive ones, but were mainly focusing on $1-$20 posters. But almost all of the ones that I had assumed would go for $10-20 (based on prior recent auction results) went for double or more. I got into some bidding wars with a few people, but eventually just gave up when they were going insanely high.

For example, I wanted that Short Circuit in VG/FN condition, since it was one of my favorite movies growing up as a kid. Past auctions were $4-5, with one going for $9. Tonight's went for $24. Same poster and condition.

I also wanted the two Back to the Future 2 & 3 advances (to go with the B2TF 1 Advance I got last week). But someone else wanted both too and kept bidding them up to well above past auction values.

But I did pick up some nice posters nonetheless.

Oh, Dale, you don't know how many times I let it go to you when I see you bidding!  I had to have that True Blood poster, though.  Sorry.  But you're right, definitely not worth what I ended up paying.

The thing is, past auction values are becoming less meaningful as new people come into the market.  Prices are going up, and those will be the new "past auction values."

True, but I think that would apply more to rarer items, or ones that don't come up as frequently. If the same poster sold for about $10, say five times over the past year, one would assume that it's common and that $10 is the going market value. If a month later, someone buys it for $40, I think that it's fair to say that they significantly overpaid for it.

I don't know.  I believe that the sale venue has a lot to do with it also.  The $10 poster sells on ebay.  The same thing sells for $40 with Bruce.  I definitely have learned the hard way to check what I can get the same poster for on ebay or elsewhere, and it happens a lot that I can get it on ebay for for much much less.

And when the same item comes up again in 6 weeks, you will be glad you were outbid this time.  The newbie has his spoils and all goes back to normal.

That's why I run a strict strategy on bidding.

As a newbie in the not so distant past I know what you are saying. I paid what I consider too much a few times before I figured out patience.

Plus there are also the big spending new to a different collecting path type newbs.

I would definitely agree with that. Though I base my price comparisons mostly off of EMP's auction history. That and Heritage, though those prices seem to fluctuate the most. Ebay's prices seem to wild to really count on for historical price tracking.

Since I am very new to the hobby, I've been trying to stay away from eBay, unless I see something that I really want and am willing to risk it being less than stellar. Since I don't have as strong as a background in authenticating and judging quality (yet!), I feel it's safer to stay in warmer waters for the time being. Also, outside of Cinemasterpieces, almost no sellers put good quality images of their posters up. They tend to be very small and grainy, which makes authentication and quality checking even harder.

Honestly this is a big mistake. Ebay is still a prime source for material. Yes you run a risk on the shipping side, and details, but sometimes the gamble is well worth it and if you find a seller you like, you ride them like no tomorrow if they sell items you are interested in.

Every price in our Auction History was paid, and in cash (no trades, layaways, re-negotiated prices, etc). If a sale fell through and the item was re-auctioned, then the result is removed. THIS is not at all true of any other database, so bear that in mind when "checking prices".

Do people pay more for some items in our auctions? Sometimes, absolutely! Two prime reasons are first that you know when buying from us there is no fear of a fake, or shipping damage or whatever, and second that you save massively on shipping. Say you buy ten posters from us for $25 each, or $250 for all. We charge $11 U.S. shipping, so $261 total, Say you could find those same ten posters from ten different eBay sellers for an average of $15 each, or $150 total. But if you pay $11 shipping to each of them, you pay $260 total, for a savings of $1! And when one tube arrives damaged, and some others were over-graded, and you spent ten times the work finding them and ordering, you might say "Forget it" the next time and bid higher with us.

Bruce

P.S. If any of you DO have a collection of titles like these (that includes the better ones) and you want to "cash in", just let me know! You won't do any work except getting them safely to us, and it will be YOU cackling over the great prices YOU got next time!

The flatrate (and discounted) shipping is certainly a huge plus at EMP. I've purchased a few posters for $1-5, simply because I didn't have to pay extra S/H since I already had won some others in the same auction.

As an international bidder we don't get flat rate shipping but Bruce offers Pay and Hold (just for the internationals) and that is a great help because one can bulk up and save money in a big way.

Had mucho bad luck lately on my ebaying...

Managed not to have the money to bid on the Azkaban lamp post lenticular that went for the first bid of $250 (listed in the reproduction section!). I thought it was a reasonable price but knows what it would have been if there'd been a bid-off.

(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/1PotterAzkabanLampPostLenticular.jpg)(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ianeastdulwich/2PotterAzkabanLampPostLenticular.jpg)

Then I found one of the small advance Azkaban lenticulars (7"x10" ish) and popped a bid in. As it was listed in a weird section (collectibles > myth & magic > Harry Potter!!!!) I was hopeful, but no, whilst I was out someone out bided me and I missed the end of the auction! It went for £22.99 :'(

What it does say is think more carefully about your bidding.  If you are going to be gone, either employ a snipe program or simply bid your max before you leave.  If you don't get it, at least you made the other guy pay.  In both of these cases, you let the other bidder steal the poster.

Cheers Matt, my eyes are peeled and hopefully the wallet will fill!

I know what you're saying jayn_j, but as I said I didn't have the money to put even one bid on the lamp post version (so I was annoyed at being skint). With the small advance version my bid had been £22, if I'd managed to put another bid in I could have only added another couple of squid (so this time I was even more frustrated because it was a cheap item... and still I couldn't get in on the action). But I suppose you're right, should have gone the full £25 in the first place, although 'making the other guy pay <more>' doesn't really come into my thinking.

So really all my over-the-top swearing was more for effect than sheer despair, and my amazing lack of funds atm, me thinks I got a bit too theatrical with my post ;D

This is why, on eBay, I only bid at the last possible moment.

Because it's so easy to get yourself into a bidding war with people. Even if you know you're doing it and don't want to. The whole "it's only a couple dollars more then what my max was" mentality goes into play, again and again.

Even on the handful of auctions I've won at EMP, on a few of them I've spent more then what I originally planned on. Though I also walked away from quite a few too when the prices got ridiculous.

This is why, on eBay, I only bid at the last possible moment.

Because it's so easy to get yourself into a bidding war with people. Even if you know you're doing it and don't want to. The whole "it's only a couple dollars more then what my max was" mentality goes into play, again and again.

I find it best to set a bid... and just walk away from the computer...

Change that to "I always bid with 5:03 minutes left on Bruce's auctions, within the last 3 seconds on Ebay." and you have the absolute best strategy for both places (your way you slightly extend the auctions, and who wants to do that?).

Because I think a lot of people bid like you said and I want to see what the item is at before I go for it.  So 4:30 is good.

Chris, yes, the consignors want ALL extended auctions that go for zillions of dollars, but if that happened then the bidders would not keep coming back.

And in the same way, if all the bidders colluded and agreed to not bid against each other, then items would go for next to nothing and I couldn't get consignments.

I think it works out best when people just bid their best bid with 5 minutes to go, and see what happens (except of course in auctions where the auctioneers have an uncanny ability to find someone to bid just under your max bid, over and over).

Speaking of auction strategy and pros/cons of the systems, I wonder if the people who have consigned posters for movies with names starting with letters at the beginning or end of the alphabet have a better or worse chance for getting high bids.

I bring this up because it seems that the EMP auctions start/end alphabetical.

Let's say you have an auction for a poster that starts with an "A" that multiple people want. Since it's one of the first auctions to end that day, the majority of the eligible bidders will have a bunch of "available" funds left. So they might be more generous in their bids. But as the day goes on, and more and more auctions end, the amount of money spent by the pool of bidders will go up and up, resulting in less money available. If bidding wars take place in the earlier auctions, the winner(s) might spend more money then they planned and call it quits for the day. Or some people might get lucky and win a bunch of posters they wanted, not thinking that they would, and run out of money as well. In the end, if those groups all wanted a poster that starts with "Z", that poster might actually sell for significantly less because there will be less people bidding on it.

On the flip side, it could actually work out the other way. If enough people lost out on many of the earlier auctions, and it's coming to the end of the day, they might have an excess amount of funds and be willing to spend more money then they had planned on spending just to get one of the remaining posters. It could even be an extreme case of "I lost out on all the other posters I wanted, this is the last one, and I'll be damned if I lose", resulting in even higher sale prices. Along this thinking, it could possibly hurt the "A" auctions, because people might be reluctant to spend a lot, knowing it's one of the first auctions and there are hundreds more coming.

I'm not sure which scenario is more likely, but I'm sure the above does play a factor (and probably a significant one) in the end prices of many of the auctions.

So, I am curious as to why the auctions are started alphabetically. Wouldn't it make more sense to do it "randomly", to try and equal out the playing field a little bit?

I don't bid on them because they are laid out alphabetically, I bid on them because I want them. Besides, before that all starts I sort by condition then decide on what I want...
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on March 07, 2012, 06:58:11 AM
Actually, back a number of years ago I would regularly list some auctions in reverse alphabetical order, "to give the end of the alphabet an equal chance".

This was when we sold through eBay and had to live with their crappy listing ability. But now, as has been said, you can easily sort our galleries in reverse order, so you can accomplish that yourself.

Definitely, though, far and away the most popular way the auctions are sorted is "High to Low by Price" and "Low to High by Price".

Obviously, the deep pocketed collector uses the first, and the financially challenged collector (or those who love great deals) use the second.

Also really popular are sort by condition, and sort by year (either direction).

If you are not using these sorts, you really need to start doing so.

Incidentally, back when I ran those reverse alphabetical order auctions, there was not that much of a difference. You nailed in as to why, which is that there are factors that help the items at the beginning, and factors that help the ones at the end.

I have consignors who THINK it is a huge advantage to have their item listed at the beginning, so sometimes I will do that as a favor to them, but honestly an excellent item does well no matter where in the auction it is.

Bruce

Post by: archie leach on March 07, 2012, 07:42:57 AM
I'll use different sorts at other times, but when bidding at the 5 min mark, the only useful sort is by time (ending earliest).
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: enki on March 07, 2012, 08:13:31 AM
Yes, I know you can SORT by many, many different methods.

But that wasn't my point.

In the end, it still comes down to when people bid and when those auctions end.

Your comments assume that most people simply find the posters they want, well before the close of auction, bid the max they are willing to pay, and then sit back and let the pieces fall where they will. I doubt this is the case, and based on other's comments, it doesn't seem to be.

With people bidding ~5 minutes before the end of the auctions, it doesn't really matter how your sort. It matters in what order they end, because that is how people are going to be bidding. And as I mentioned in my prior post, being at the beginning or end of the alphabet could have a significant impact (good or bad) on the outcome of the final selling price.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on March 07, 2012, 08:19:22 AM
But sometimes the ones at the beginning are hurt because someone is holding money to bid on something later, and had they come up the other way, they would not have had that restriction. Yes, there IS  a luck element in this regard and others, and that is why some items auction for $15 one time and $65 another (and that really does happen, and more than you might imagine).

I would say I've done this before; waited if it was ending last.  This also make me spend more too as I will have all my allotted monies by the time it comes up.  But I would also say that once I plan to bid, that money is gone one way or another.  So if I don't win my early one I end up buying stuff I don't really want later.  That is why my new rule (not to knock Bruce, but because I have very little self control with posters) is pick one thing and go all in...

The artwork on the AFOD teaser is not all that special, either, imo. Yet is still sold for over 2K, due to its scarcity.

you have to understand that Bruce has bidders that only bid at his site (as does Heritage, and as do myself) so the bidders won't see that poster again until Bruce has one again. To those types of buyers, the item is as rare as how often it is that the auctioneer is selling it

http://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign&myfrom=menu (http://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign&myfrom=menu)

Benefits of consigning through us:

    The only work you do is getting your items to us. We do everything else!
    No hidden commissions or fees, and no "fine print". We stand by what we say and will never mislead you.
    We NEVER buy items from you (as almost every other auction house does) because that would put us in direct conflict with our consignment based business, and we would be on "the opposite side" from you, needing to buy your items for a low price. When you consign to us, we are "on the same side" so if your items sell for more, then you get more and we also get more. This means we are highly motivated to get the most for your items.
    You get an audience of 10,606 movie paper collectors who know us (many have been buying from us for 22 years) and who know that we always describe everything honestly and usually send purchases out within two business days of receiving payment, very securely wrapped in specially made extra-strong boxes and tubes. This makes bidders more likely to bid on an item we're offering than one offered by someone unknown to them (like you!).
    Since we auction on a regular schedule every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday offering 1,000 to 2,000 items a week, bidders are more inclined to look over our auctions because we will probably have something to interest them. There are thousands of people who check our auctions every single time, and who would probably miss your item if it is auctioned any other way, because they simply don't have the time to check out other auction sites on a regular basis!

Well it certainly makes the prices I've seen on vendors sites look like a steal (and they're $100+ too high).  I've been wanting one of these for a while, but I'm not crazy enough to pay those prices. It's clear by now I'm never going to buy one through emovie.  I'm all for loyalty but there's a certain point where the lines of loyalty and stupidity are blurred, this is one of them.  You can get that poster for half the price shipped (and I've been told that still too high) from a couple very trustworthy vendors.  A little research you'd save over $300.

3 extremely unappealing posters, IMO, especially for the price.

You're crazy Thierry - the Franky looks great.

But I could give two shits about the other two - so maybe you're only 1/3 crazy ;)

I had been watching this WC auction, too, this evening, on ebay. Up until the last 8 seconds, the price stood at 24.00. Then it jumped to the winning bid of 570.00, in the final few. It had been trimmed pretty severely, missing about 2" off the left side and about 6" (including the blank, white advert area) on the top:

Sorry Chris, never been a Frankenstein fan.  Dracula, huge fan.  Frankenstein is just too ugly for me.  Some posters are great, make the best of his appearance, but this one doesn't.  Ugly colors, ugly drawing.  IMO, of course.

the general consensus with people I've spoken to is that it is a 50s or even 60s poster
not an original release, although it is probably the first release in Turkey.

In many countries in this region & eastern European countries, alot of the Universal horror movies were not shown until the late 50s & 60s due to the "horror" nature of the films, which were seen as just too graphic and in other cases, too close to the folklore of the region

I think Brice sold one about 8-10 years ago for like $625. However, I imagine it will have gone up since then. I was watching this one as well... I put in a meager bid, hoping that the trimming would scare others off. Apparently not.  ;D

Hi Chris,

Yes this is an original release. And the film itself and Chaney's name did bring that premium winning bid. It's a vibrant poster with great contrasting colors of red and black; not boring in the least. The fact is the WC WAS printed with Chaney's name on it (as was most of the ephemera he starred in). To say what a poster would be worth, if his name wasnt on the card is irrelevant, since it only exists in this fashion (with his name).

In addition to Chaney's name, the film is a silent, Universal classic, and one of Chaney's most recognizable film roles (and films). This card would most likely always fetch a premium, even in that poorly trimmed condition, IMO. This was evidenced and shown with yesterday's winning bid.

Opinions will differ, as we all know, however.

Quite right Ted. The first release of SON OF FRANK, in Turkey was in December of 1939. That doesnt mean that this poster can be said to be from that first release. But based on research and queries from various sources I have made, the poster is either a late 1940s or possible early 1950s release.

It would be great if this poster was from the '39 first release, but the Milli Film logo, in the lower right of the poster, helps with this question. This was a company that was formed in Turkey, in 1948, so that late 40s/early 50s time frame is most likely.

For me, it wasn't a question of whether I could afford to keep bidding. It simply didn't seem worth it (to me) to continue to bid. Prior auctions for the same item/quality were averaging $100-120 in the recent past, and it isn't a rare item - though it's certainly a nice quality specimen. I stopped at $126, but he and one other guy got it up to $158. I was also going for the lightsaber style ROTJ poster, but it went (slightly) above the limit I had set for myself, which I've been trying to keep better control over ;). When that happened and I stopped bidding on the other poster, I did contemplate pulling the trigger at one more bid attempt on the Style B, but figured that I would hold off since Holiday kept bidding more on it, and it seemed like he wanted it more then I.

Plus, there are a few posters I want in the upcoming Cinemasterpieces eBay auction that I'm sure will cost a pretty penny, so I wanted to reserve my funds for Sunday.

In the future, and this goes for anyone on this forum, if there is a poster that you must have, don't be afraid to drop me a line if you see me bidding on it.  I usually put in bids a few days ahead of time just to let people out there know what I'm interested in, now that I use my real name for the auctions.  While I don't always give in, many many times I do, especially for those who work with me.  Thierry and I routinely compare our want lists so that we're not stepping all over each other.

Hahaha. No, I was (am) 'shamus'. But yes, I too backed off in the end when I saw you and he get into a small bidding war :).

I appreciate the offer. There really wasn't anything I desperately wanted in this auction. I did pick up a few posters, but wound up only spending about $70 combined.

Though as I mentioned in my last post, there are a couple posters in this Sunday's eBay auction that I *WILL* be getting, unless they go to some ridiculous price.

Yeah, I have a folded, and doesn't work well.  I think with both that one and Howling, it's the large dark expanses that don't look as good folded as they do rolled and, thus, unspoiled.

Did win A TOWN LIKE ALICE and ANGEL FACE in mixed lots, happy about that. Also CROSSFIRE but that's pretty beaten up. I hope that's the only one when they show up.

Post by: marklawd on March 17, 2012, 02:54:44 PM
Just got back from Mallam's. The small auction room was packed and internet and telephone bidding was very active. No bargains today.

One intriguing situation which occurred several times was when the auctioneer was taking low bids in the room only to suddenly notice that two internet bidders were furiously bidding against each other at levels at higher levels. He appeared a little bemused and advised the auction room at one point that the etiquette was that he should finish competitive bidding in the room before picking up internet bids. This was clearly difficult to do.

That To Catch a Thief quad will need some light restoration - someone had written a date with sharp pencil prominently on Grace's cheek.

Would "Bidder 802" on the telephone please identify themselves either on here or by pm so I may congratulate them? I was the underbidder on three of the posters they won - Killer's Kiss (an early Kubrick film - I bid on impulse), 12 Angry Men (much better artwork on the quad than US one sheet - one of two posters I hoped at the beginning of the day to get) and Saint Joan (which looked striking in quad format). I did win the other quad I was after - Phantom of the Opera (in great unused condition) - and I got a consolation - The Blob.

Buyers commission was 20% plus 20% VAT on that.

Sorry Neo, I missed the last few lots so don't know what the Quester Wipeout sold for - that was certainly a unique piece.

that Killer's Kiss really took off, how much was it in the end, 700? I stopped looking at 400 and checked the next lots. Against my better judgment I was hoping to snatch the Quatermass II. I had a bad feeling when the Viva las Vegas lot (lot 10) flew to a 200 pounds in no time, then hoped it would tail off to the end, but alas. One thing's for sure, most British quads of let's say lesser or average titles from the fifties are vastly superior over any US posters.

That To Catch a Thief quad will need some light restoration - someone had written a date with sharp pencil prominently on Grace's cheek.

So you got the TCAT? I thought I saw an internet bidder got it...

Mallam's did very well. Only picked up a few lesser lots just because they were there. The things I really liked slipped through my hands really fast. Did win A TOWN LIKE ALICE and ANGEL FACE in mixed lots, happy about that. Also CROSSFIRE but that's pretty beaten up. I hope that's the only one when they show up. Have no idea how they do with shipping.
What about that 1000 pounds for BRIDES OF DRACULA?


I wanted me that A TOWN LIKE ALICE Quad....sniff...I'll have to make do with the daybill and one sheet...for now!

Oh YOU'RE jellycat!  I think I cursed you a bit.  I backed off of one that you wanted, and I was looking for Jellycat to back off a bit too - share the wealth.  You did so in the end and I appreciate it!

In the future, and this goes for anyone on this forum, if there is a poster that you must have, don't be afraid to drop me a line if you see me bidding on it.  I usually put in bids a few days ahead of time just to let people out there know what I'm interested in, now that I use my real name for the auctions.  While I don't always give in, many many times I do, especially for those who work with me.  Thierry and I routinely compare our want lists so that we're not stepping all over each other.
haha its funny that since i joined up here you see a few people names you recognize and already i have backed out of a bidding war because i have chatted on here. no sense in making someone else pay for stuff your not THAT bothered about i say.
after all we are not savages! haha
although saying that if i have noticed your name holiday i have simply skipped by the item and forgotten it was even listed!   eyeroll

This is all very very funny!  Bidding's a tough thing when there's folks I know.  Sometimes I back off, sometimes I don't, and like what was said, it often depends on just how much I want it.  I also thing about  whose collection it belongs in when I can.  I'd always allow Thierry to win something for his Spielberg collection, and there's a lot of you guys who let me pick up stuff for my advertising collection.  I do think a lot of us bump heads on the Japanese material, which is interesting.

its only ever jap things ive seen you bid on that ive been interested in. but it hasnt been essential.
in fact im not sure i have essentials? if its too expensive it isnt that important as i can always find another poster for cheap that looks as good to my eyes.
i would like some more czech/polish posters but i couldnt tell you which? just because of the striking and seemingly random designs they come up with.
at the minute i would love to find an enter the void or irreversible jap poster. or maybe a serbian film? but im not willing to pay crap loads for it

Normally, I would have bid on it, but I have bought enough Star Wars in the past 3 months.  There are too many other posters I want.  I'll get the next one, or the one after that.  Collecting is all about patience.

I'm glad you didn't  8). I got it for a fraction of my max bid. My snipe came in at 7 seconds, and only jumped the high bid to $10 over the previous. I sat there waiting for it to go up, but it never did. My wife and I almost fell over that we got it for that price. It's certainly a rare piece, in great condition, and will fit very nicely into my ever growing Star Wars collection.

On the other hand, I did miss out on that Star Wars Style A. I really wanted it, but it ended up going a bit too high IMHO. I was about to come in at the end with a bid, but before I could submit it, another bidder came in and the price jumped above what I was about to bid, so I gave up. Oh well, I'm sure I'll see another one of those soon enough.

I am hoping that a good quality Chaykin will come up soon. Or one of the other rare ones (Birthday, Concert, Hildebrandt).

So please continue to hold off on your Star Wars acquisitions for the time being ;).

I go in bursts.  I spent more than 2k on 3 Star Wars posters over the past 2 or 3 months.  Before that, I had not bought one in a year or so.  I have so many collections I'm trying to complete, I cannot put all my eggs in the same basket.  I have to spread the wealth.  I don't intend to buy any SW posters any time soon, unless the price is obscenely low, which can always happen.

Not tonight, though ;)

Post by: enki on March 19, 2012, 11:56:23 PM
Speaking of Star Wars posters, I'm kind of curious about this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item2c63a62419&item=190650393625&nma=true&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&si=U9NoJG3OJZwWYg0DFe5SEIpn0uU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

(http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/aucpics2011/sa27ebay.jpg)

As the subtitle says, it's a "RARE BORDERLESS INTERNATIONAL", and the listing further goes on to say that cinemasterpieces has never before seen one like this.

I did a little bit of research, and can't find any information about it. It's not listed in the Star Wars Poster Book, which specifically mentions the white border around the International version. I couldn't find any other pictures of a similar one online. I was able to find one reference to it here:
http://www.theforce.net/collecting/posters/rotj/style-b.asp

Where it says:
"The third variation is the international poster. The international version doesn't have the white border around the poster and measures only 26 3/4 x 39 1/4. 'Return of the Jedi Style B International One Sheet' is printed in silver in the bottom right corner. The PG rating and the phrase 'May be too intense for very young children' was dropped from the poster and the phrase 'Trade marks owned by Lucasfilm Ltd. (LFL) and used by Film Freak Shop under authorization' was added to the copyright information. "

However, this seems to imply that the Intl version comes standard with no white border, which is obviously incorrect, and doesn't even make mention of the white border version. But it does go on to mention the label in silver at the bottom right, which is correct, so I have to assume it is talking about this poster.

I can't find a similar poster at any other auction site history.

It did peak my interest, and I was going to bid on it, but it jumped at the end and I missed out.

Anyone here familiar with this version?

Post by: Harry Caul on March 20, 2012, 12:09:45 AM
I haven't done a side-by-side, but do the white border versions have cropped artwork compared with this one?  Or is the artwork enlarged to fit the full 27x41" space?


By the way, did anyone see that rolle first printing SW?  Damn near a $1000!

I compared the two (regular international and this borderless one) and the artwork is definitely cropped on the standard white border version. The borderless one in this auction has extended artwork where the border would have been. The standard intl is almost identical to the US 1SH which also has the cropped artwork (compared to this one).

Here is what I mean:
(http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/aucpics2011/sa27ebay.jpg)
(http://emovieposter.com//images/moviestars/AA110616/550/return_of_the_jedi_INTL_styleB_NZ02319_L.jpg)

So it's definitely not just a 'zoomed in' version. However, the same missing artwork IS present in some of the other country specific international versions, so it does look legit.

HOWEVER, one thing that has me curious/concerned is this line in the copyright information: "Trade marks owned by Lucasfilm Ltd. (LFL) and used by Film Freak Shop under authorization"

Who is Film Freak Shop? That certainly doesn't sound like a movie distribution company. More like a license reprint company. Which leads me to believe that this is NOT a true International 1SH, and is instead a somewhat rare authorized reprint, which took the background image from a different international print. If so, the auction listing was incorrect.

And yes, I saw that $1000 Style A first printing. I wanted it, but it went too high for me.

Thanks Bruce.

Well, that sucks for the guy who spent $192.49 on it!

Cinemasterpieces might want to let the guy know that "This is a genuine 27" x 41" U.S. International one sheet ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTER issued by the studio when the film was released and meant for theatrical display." isn't exactly accurate.

I did find a few more references to it online, but it seems like they ALL stem from the same source (http://www.starwarsmovieposter.com/popups/usosrotjint.htm). I imagine that whoever put together that information based it off of the commercial poster, and didn't realize it wasn't the true International 1SH.

I sent him a PM and referenced this thread.

It could have been one of his employees who examined/listed it. And a few sites do inaccurately list it as genuine, so I think it could be an honest mistake.

Honestly, I think it looks much better then the legit Intl 1SH. Not only do you get the larger picture, but the silver identification text at the bottom looks nice on the black background. Too bad it's commercial - maybe the studio should have paid Film Freak to make the real one.

I've always been unsure of this version myself and got rid of my copy over twenty years ago to replace it with the domestic 1-sheet. However, I do believe the poster was referenced on the back of the 'Killian' Star Wars check list if anyone does have it to hand and might offer a bit more information.

Interesting point, I missed that. Since they are the manufacturer of the poster, maybe they just pulled the background image to use for their storefront, and the silver text is added/stamped on afterwards? Or maybe they made two different versions? It's certainly the same type of poster.

I don't really plan on buying one, unless the cost is extremely low. I was more curious about what they charge for it. Maybe I could buy a couple dozen in bulk for $25/poster, consign them all to Dave, and make $125 profit on each one!  ;D

No, I'm thinking of the large date slapped across Grace's face....not a good surprise to get when opening a poster worth that much...
Maybe they got a good close up before bidding...? doubt it though.

Does anyone know anything about this poster? Couldn't really find any info on it. This thing was at like $60 and it jumped to $385 in like the last 5 seconds of the auction. I think its an international but the seller says its 27x40? Any thoughts?

I don't have a link off hand, but in Dave's recent set of auctions he had a rolled 77/21-0 and it sold for $900-something.  Crazy stuff...

I think Dave has drawn that before on that piece in said condition, if not even more. Regardless, I do not agree that there is 100% certainty that the -0 issue is the first printing. I have heard several sound arguments from folks around the hobby for over 30+ years that the funky text is without a doubt the first one...but in the end, who knows.

Lucas would know, he hasn't been busy since 1980, let's ask him.

Sorry for the giant image, but this is the only thing I could find with the same artwork.  The image below is from a company that scans old VHS covers (cool shit by the way).  As you can see from the date, this cover is from a VHS put out in 1989.  I'm still not sure about this poster...

Like most of Dave's information, it (the determination of the -0) came from loooooong discussions on MPT, before release of the Star Wars Poster Book.  Peter Vilmur stopped by on occasion in those days - he was looking for confirmation that the Style A's were not used until well after the opening date and into the campaign - and what he ended up with was the consensus opinion...

I'm glad that you brought this up, Ben.
Allow me to stir the pot a bit.

I saw STAR WARS opening week in NY, 1977.  At that time, I was an avid one-sheet collector and I rarely missed any opening of any genre film.  I remember looking carefully at the SW one-sheet that was on display at the theater and taking notice of the 'funky text.'  It was unlike any I had seen on the hundreds of one sheets I had at the time in my collection.  The very next day, I visited THE MOVIE GALLERY on Long Island to see if he had any for sale. He had three tri-folded, all with the 'funky text.' I asked shop owner Marty what the deal with the 'funky text' was?  He had heard that Fox just 'wanted to be different because the movie was a throwback to the serials of yesteryear.' Seeing as it matched the theatrical I had seen the night before, I bought one ($7).  A few weeks later, SW started showing at smaller neighborhood theaters and I acquired 4-5 used one-sheets.  ALL had the 'funky text.' I traded these to Marty for other posters (including Frazetta's FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS and a SW 1/2 sheet).

A few months later, the '-0' version showed up at THE MOVIE GALLERY.  Marty brought it to my attention because he wanted me to know another 'version' of the poster had been released. I also used to hit several theaters on Long Island for used posters on a weekly basis.  Months after the film's initial release, I began getting used copies of this later version from these theaters.

If the 'funky text' wasn't the first printing, then how come it was the only version available upon the film's initial showing?

Archie, I did not know that about Peter stopping by to weigh in...thanks for the info, good to have that kind of stuff out there and refreshed for the betterment of conversation here.

Ted, your assessment of seeing the funky text version in displays at the film's opening is also in line with what I have heard from various folks. One collector/dealer I know told me that another reason it is the first printing is because that text design was used in advance promotional material leading up to the film's release (early 1976 up to the release in 1977). The lettering was used initially in the McQuarrie concept/promo art yet was designed by Joe Johnston. The scale that this font design was used was significant, and therefore was subsequently and sensibly used in the first printing of the one sheet to be used on its initial release.

Early promo materials using the funky text design in 1976-1977:

(http://theswca.com/relics/prerelease/shirt.jpg)

(http://theswca.com/relics/prerelease/patch.jpg)

Below is a pic of Mark Hamill at the 1976 Comic Con. Text reads:
"A very young looking Mark Hamill, a.k.a. Luke Skywalker, poses before a hand painted banner (art by Ralph McQuarrie, lettering by Joe Johnston) at Star Wars' 'coming out' party at the San Diego Comic Con in the summer of 1976".

While I cannot say which issue is 100% the first printing, I would bet on funky text since it was used before the film came out for some time and it would make no sense to go back to that design in any sort of advertising effort after not using it in subsequent printings.

You got me swinging....
Maybe the first run from a new printer? 
All I know is the internet is chock full of misinformation, including info from what people would claim is the 'source.'
Long, long ago, I gave up contacting studios for information on poster campaigns because the 'stock' answer was "We don't know. We don't keep records of things like that."
What I do know is what I saw (and took note of at the time) and what I personally acquired during the film's initial theatrical release in NYC and Long Island.

Does anyone know why the consensus at MPT was that the -0 was first printing?  I assume there was discussion for/against the various posters being the 'first run'.

I had Star Wars posters before the film opened.
I sold them all, but I had one copy as recenty as 10 years ago that I sold to a very good friend.
I emailed him as I know he still has it & it is -0

that tells me the -0 was the first printing
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: enki on March 23, 2012, 01:57:03 PM
Is it possible that both prints were run at the same time, possibly from two different printers?

Do any other NSS posters exhibit the same "-X" traits, or is this the only one that has a number after the XX/XXX? If there are others, what has the consensus (or proof) been regarding those posters?

Are there any statistics to determine which poster is actually more rare/common? Maybe they started printing one, something happened, and they were forced to change the NSS information?

While I've seen a lot of conjecture about the order/history/etc. of the four different ANH poster versions, the vast majority of people seem to think that the 77/21-0 is the first. While my background in posters is limited, just thinking about it (the numbering in and of itself) logically makes me initially disagree with this being done on purpose.

From what I understand, the vast majority (if not all) of posters have the format of year/film syntax. Why would they have changed this, to add a "-0" to the first run of just this movie? And why would they have started with "0" as opposed to "1", which would have made more sense - if this was an official run. I could see the rationale if this was some type of printers proof or concept poster, but based on the volume in existence, and the fact that it was released to theaters, it doesn't seem to support that idea. If the 0 was meant to indicate a run, why didn't they increment it for future runs?

But, maybe they did only intend to print a handful of them as a proof (such as this: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/9568216.html ), with the "-0" to indicate it as a proof, and forgot to remove the "-0" before going into mass production? And partway through the production process, someone realized the "oops" and fixed it.

On the other side of the coin, the fact that the versions of the real printers proofs have the 77/21-0 seem to lend credibility to the theory that 77/21-0 is the first printing. I did a quick glance on EMP's auction history, and all of the printer proofs of Style A have the 77/21-0. Since the artwork is all the same in the different versions, I doubt they would have made more printers proofs for the subsequent versions (funky text, etc.). And on the same line of rationale, if the 'funky text' version was the first, why would it not be the one used on the printers proofs?

Lastly, the poster wasn't the only thing that had the "-0" appended to it. I've seen 8x10 stills that had it as well (which of course are being marketed as "the first run" of those items).

So, since the legit proofs have the 77/21-0 on them, I would put more credence into them being the first batch printed for distribution. I just have a hard time thinking that it was intentional.

Got my posters from Mallam's. No complaints, quick, safe and cheap enough shipping. Was a bit hesitant about the condition, but no complaints there neither. Of the 25 posters 20 were in solid condition, 3 less, 2 poor, but those were expected. All the posters matched the pics of the auction. Only thing not shown was ink bleedthrough from the back, but in no case that was too distracting.
Nice addition to the collection, but also questions:  On two of the posters there was a censor stamp by the British Board Of Censors. These were the older titles. can anyone tell me when this stamp stopped?

Oh and three more pleasant surprises. My first Chantrell:

And two of the three posters that weren't photographed for the auction turned out to be these stunners:

Hmmmm.

From Bruce's archive (posted above by enki):

"Important Added Info: Note that this printer's proof was discovered in 2000! A man in southern California inherited a group of uncut posters (all printer's proofs, see below for more on printer's proofs), all from 1977, from a man who worked at a printer at that time. The posters were solely multiple examples of five different 1977 posters. One of the posters was a very forgettable title, "Damnation Alley", one was "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", and the other three were all "Star Wars" posters! Included in this great find were eighteen examples of the style A "Star Wars" poster (with the original "77/21-0" NSS number), and thirty three examples of the style C "Star Wars" poster, and twelve examples of the Spanish style C "Star Wars" poster! The posters were consigned to Bruce Hershenson, who sold 18 sets of both style A and style C U.S. posters, 15 individual style C posters, and the 12 individual Spanish style C posters. All of the 63 posters sold quickly, and very few have been re-offered for sale in the past seven years. Now, one of the original purchasers of these posters (someone who purchased one each of all five different posters) has re-consigned them to Bruce Hershenson, and they are being offered for sale, in five separate eBay auctions. This auction is for the style A "Star Wars" one-sheet poster (see elsewhere on eBay for the other four auctions). Note that this is a very rare uncut printer's proof! After they were printed, they would then be shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, and once they were completely approved, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's proof far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine, there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction!"

This raises an interesting question:

Star Wars was released in May 1977.

Damnation Alley was released in October, 1977.
Close Encounters was released in November 1977.
Star Wars Style C (Spanish and English) was also sometime late in 1977.

See where I am going?

Why did this former employee at a print shop have five different poster styles, 4 clustered from late 1977 and only one from early 1977 and none from in-between?
Hmmm.

I can't argue with Rich's claim to have had Star Wars posters "before the film opened," but I saw the 'funky text' in a theater in May, 1977, I bought one the next day, I acquired more 'funky texts' from theaters in subsequent weeks that summer, and -- months later -- I acquired '-0' one sheets from smaller (non-first run) theaters at the same time that the '-0's' started to show up at my dealer's shop. 

Go figure, eh?

Wow, great Evil Dead poster.  If it is legit that is awesome.  I think the Aussie video poster used similar-ish chainsaw artwork, but it is a considerably smaller poster.  I've never seen this one before...

(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1983-Original-Evil-Dead-Cult-Movie-Poster-/00/s/MTYwMFgxNTk2/$(KGrHqZ,!lYE9I+l7v0SBPYkYl3!wQ~~60_12.JPG)

So, I'm still hung up on this poster... I was thinking something was off as the roman numeral date looks like 1983.  But on IMDB, it says the movie was made in 1981.  So I looked into it and apparently this movie didn't get a wide release until 1983 and that is the same date on the normal blue-background hand poster.  Does anyone know what poster was used before the main NSS printing.  I was hoping it might be this one, but apparently not. 

And as for this one, I still can't find any use of this specific art (red shirt instead of blue shirt) until the VHS release in 1989.  I did contact the seller and they double checked the measurements for me... they are 27x41.  Could it be a later re-release?  A video release?  There is no rating on it and the NL (New Line) logo looks slightly different than on the regular poster.  Also, the main title and lower corner title on the regular poster is listed as 'The Evil Dead', while on this poster it is just 'Evil Dead' -- same as that Congress VHS release in '89. 

Before I scour the ends of the earth trying to find another copy, I thought I would see y'all think this one is legit or not.

Matt, it was also just titled EVIL DEAD on the Aussie OS, the Turkish OS and the Aussie daybill. Could this lend credence or provide added evidence that this poster could be an international version of some kind?

as i said elsewhere, the tagline for the US-posters was "OOH That EKBERG". Hardly seems necessary here, images speak louder than words. However there's a case to be made for "RRRRR that RYAN" I think there was a veto for "His Rod Was In her hands"

I can't argue with Rich's claim to have had Star Wars posters "before the film opened," but I saw the 'funky text' in a theater in May, 1977, I bought one the next day, I acquired more 'funky texts' from theaters in subsequent weeks that summer, and -- months later -- I acquired '-0' one sheets from smaller (non-first run) theaters at the same time that the '-0's' started to show up at my dealer's shop. 

Vilmur was trying to find any evidence, particularly a picture, of the use of any Style A's before July, as he theorized that they were not printed until that far into the run.  According to what he could find, at the premieres, the only posters were the Style B advance.

Heritage Sig Auction just ended.  $1.92 million total, $1.69 million from the first 550 lots (featured in the live auction yesterday) and $236,000 from the 650 sold today in the computer auction. Those figures say a lot about Heritage's business model. Everything (weekly auctions, Ebay sales, etc.) is a side show to the big money live auction posters....

Same here, Rich.
It was my second date with my ex.  First time out, lines discouraged us so we caught ANNIE HALL instead.
A few nights later, we arrived earlier to wait on the STAR WARS line. They had a framed A sheet on the outside wall as well as another in the lobby.
No B teaser in sight.
I examined that A sheet at the theater and bought one the very next day.
It was not July.

I don't think their business model reflects on us.  A lot of businesses operate like Heritage.  My sister used to be a regional manager for Crabtree & Evelyn, which sells fancy fragrances and gourmet foods.  They lost money the entire year except for Christmas, which made up for the rest of the year.  Heritage probably makes a modest profit on their weekly and eBay sales.  They'd probably prefer just to run the sig auctions but they have to stay in business year round to attract consignors and buyers for the sig auctions.  Just amateur speculation, of course....

Those who collect to achieve some sort of "status" are collecting for entirely the wrong reason. 

Those who are acquiring based on perceived monetary value are not collectors at all but some form of misguided investor.

And really how pathetic is it in the end to base the virtue or desirability of ones collection on the relative accolades it garners from other virtual individuals?! (I mean virtual in the sense that most people on the internet, this forum included, have never met personally and there is no bond or connection beyond faceless and decontextualized words).

Well then, let me rephrase this and apologize to those I offended: "It makes me realize how pathetic MY collection is to ME."  It is true that it is all in the eye of the beholder, and I shouldn't judge others.  But I can judge my gear.  And since I would love to one day own some of the pieces that sold yesterday, it makes me feel like I haven't even started collecting and I have still such a long way to go.

Rich, well said and as it should be. clap

T, you have a fantastic collection, and should be proud of what you've done, "so far"... We all have a long way to go with our collections, if I was satisfied with with mine, I would stop.  I'm very happy with what I've got, but need more. Not for you guy's, but for myself. If money was no object, we'd all have top end titles, but I've some £10 posters, I wouldn't swap for £1000 posters. Society dictates prices, and we have to work within our "class", but when we pick up something well out of our league,   life is so great.... ;D  Hence people like Harry get annoyed with Mel, when he blabs to the world about things that should be left quite for a while. As it takes away the chance we can buy from another league, usually out of our reach. Which would help to push our collections into our dreams....  and not our money into dealers pockets.

The hobby should always be about the true collector, and not the dealer pushing up prices, out of 99% of poster collectors pockets.   Putting together a collection of Oscar winners, or a Spielberg collection is the sign of a true collector, and it's great to have so many individual collectors on this board...

I agree,
however,everything Mel posts in his humble opinion,is " the most amazing " or "truly spectacular"  or " most desirable "...Mel never seems to be able to post...hey guys picked this up,"quite shit but I love it.."

Stew


On the other hand, that's also why I don't post anything, or very rarely.  Nothing to me is worthy enough.  But if I had bought The Day the Earth Stood Still, I would have posted it.

After seeing the Heritage stuff, really makes me realize how lucky I feel that the vast majority of that stuff is not my style.  A lot of that stuff does have amazing art, but it's not something I can relate to, so I'd rather see it in a museum or something like that.

Luckily for me, what I like most is also what I can afford, mostly 80s and newer stuff.

I got out bid on The Day the Earth Stood still on Heritage - I am guessing there was only one other bidder, I left my top bid many days ago and had gone out for the day of the auction so wasn't watching what happened, but there was a few bids required to beat mine and I feel they got it at a good price, so well done and congrats to the new owner, whoever you are...

Steve

first you watch Tarzan the Ape Man and then Tarzan Finds a Mate.
Maureen's outfit is essentially a tight buckskin halter and 2 buckskin panels for her bottom with open sides. That outfit specifically was one of the top reasons cited for the creation of the Hays Code which spelled out how men & women could be depicted in films. Another film cited for being what was determined nearly pornographic at the time was a film for which the Berwick Discovery had a poster - Ten Cents a Dance with Stanwyck.

One of the primo collectors on this board told me "60% of my collection is junk."  Same is definitely true for my collection, especially all the cheesy girly posters (ex. "Employee of the Month" (http://www.posternirvana.com/Main/Genre-Comedy/large-63.html)). Just lately I've tried to avoid buying mediocre stuff and concentrated on the good stuff.

Congrats on the Terminator quad BTW....

We know Mel.  You are a true collector at heart...  I (as I am sure the rest of the forum) am still trying to figure out your collecting style...  I think that is were some of the beef is.  It doesn't matter, collect what you want.  I am so glad you trashed some of those junk posters. Every time I think of that DS Grosse Pointe Blank you sent me for free, I am glad you thought it was junk because I treasure it... 

And please don't mistake my comment about the Werewolf poster.  It was not intended as a negative comment, but to illustrate that not every poster is for everyone... I don't like horror (don't shoot me) so I wouldn't give you $50 for it...  It's a beauty art-wise and if it's what you are into then that is all that matters.

Thanks Mel.  I am really proud of it.  I paid too much for it, but it just puts my Terminator collection on the brink of complete.  I have the Czech small and now the quad so only one left IMO...  I may try to upgrade the small Czech for the large one, but I am quite satisfied to have the substantial pieces for that film in my collection...

Wow, great Evil Dead poster.  If it is legit that is awesome.  I think the Aussie video poster used similar-ish chainsaw artwork, but it is a considerably smaller poster.  I've never seen this one before...

(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1983-Original-Evil-Dead-Cult-Movie-Poster-/00/s/MTYwMFgxNTk2/$(KGrHqZ,!lYE9I+l7v0SBPYkYl3!wQ~~60_12.JPG)
I had a sneaky feeling the seller was wrong about the measurements thats why I went ahead and fired a bid out on it (just had no idea it was gonna go that high). Its gotta be an international of some sort but the tricky part is when was it printed and for what release. One things for sure I have never seen this poster before and that is so cool! The thing that is throwing me off the most is the fact that it is rolled. What are the chances of this poster that no one has ever seen before popping up rolled from the early 80s. Crazy odds. You would think it would be some beat up old folded poster.

What is interesting, too, is that the paper doesn't seem to have a real gloss to it, but appears, at least from the photo, to more of an overall, matte finish.

Curious, indeed.

Did you win it Severen?  If so congrats!

I asked the seller to verify the dimensions and he said he made a mistake... it is 27"x41" so it is the correct size for the time period.  He also said he's had it for "25+ years" so that is also good news if true. 

As for the name difference (Evil Dead vs. The Evil Dead), I've been doing some research there as well. The original name was actually Book of the Dead when it premiered in Michigan in 1981. 

(http://bookofthedead.ws/website/images/ed_production_photo_13.jpg)


Raimi then met Irvin Shapiro who helped trying to get a wider release... he was the one who suggested the name change.  According to this awesome site on the film's production and release (http://bookofthedead.ws/website/the_evil_dead_production.html) (great read by the way!), his naming suggesting was "The Evil Dead", but I found this Variety ad (dated May 3rd, 1982) which shows that they also dropped the "The" for at least some of the early US screenings (sorry for the large image). 

(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5342/evil2bdead2bvariety2bad.jpg)


Notice any similarities in the image, title font and tagline?  That Chainsaw-over-the-head still image was commissioned well after filming had wrapped by Shapiro as he wanted better marketing materials.

According to IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083907/releaseinfo), the movie was shown off and on throughout the world between 1981 and early 1983 at various small screenings and film festivals... and (per the above link) it actually was picked up for UK distribution (and nearly immediate video release) starting in March 1982, well before New Line picked it up for a wide release in the US.  That means those full size 30x40 Evil Dead quads (w/white borders) pre-date the 1-sheet by more than a year!  For those of you familiar with the quad, it is also titled "The Evil Dead," not just "Evil Dead."  However, I think the US and UK are the only regions where they kept the "The" for the final release.  As we have seen (so far at least), The Netherlands, Turkey and Australia all use the same title font as this mystery poster and they drop the "The" in the title. 

This all lends credence to this poster being an international 1-sheet, which, ta daaa... that Evil Dead site's collectible page (http://bookofthedead.ws/website/collectables_main.html) shows and indeed lists it as an int'l 1-sheet poster (folded and everything)! To see their poster section, scroll WAAAAYYYY down towards the bottom.

(http://bookofthedead.ws/website/images/collectables/collectables_advertising_posters_ed1_40_small.jpg)


Even in that small, shitty picture above, it clearly looks to be a matte finish poster as it would have reflections along the folds otherwise. 

So is this case closed?  Are we confirming it to be an official New Line printed, really rare and really awesome int'l 1-sheet?

No sorry for the confusion guys. Unfortunately I didn't win it. I was bidding on it and had it to the last second and then it jumped up to like $385. It looked like 2 different people must have sniped 2 large bids right at the end. I wish I would have had the balls to just crack off a large max bid looking back now, but honestly I didn't think it would get that kind of action. It was one of those posters that kind of caught me off guard cause I hadn't seen it before. I was at work just kinda screwing around on ebay and saw it with only a few hours left in the auction so I really didn't have any time to research it before the auction ended. Anyways at least it has made for a nice discussion on here and gives me a new poster to keep an eye out for. Thanks to everyone on here that did some research on it. Although I fear I might have just developed some new competion with hunting down another one of these pieces. Think this one might even fall into the unicorn category.

Righto you lot, leave Elvis alone or expect a humungous karate chop from your's truly.
Sure he was overweight and unwell for the last year and a bit but people base their thoughts on those idiot fat impersonators and the very worst photos from his very worst show. Here are some photos from a few different live performances in 1977, just months before he died. He's probably not that far removed from the average 42-year-old at the time.

Surely one of the UK people here got this trimmed Underwater quad - couldn't afford it right now and it needs $300 work for linen-backing/paper replacement so I dropped out early:

Well done enki, great poster and in nice condition.

I managed to bag my little beauty as well ;D... there's a series on UK tv atm all about Art Nouveau and the Mrs and me have loved it. When they covered Alphonse Mucha the Czech artist we said we'd have to get one, unfortunately when we looked at prices they were well out of our league, the Mrs wanted to get a cheap reproduction on the bay but I said hold on and see if we can sleuth a cheap original.

And lo and behold this appeared on emovieposter this week, couldn't believe it, not an original of course but a Czech (where Mucha's from) exhibition poster from 1971 that had one of his seminal illustrations as the artwork. Really happy I got it and for less that I thought, even woke the Mrs at 1.30 in the morning to let her know we'd won!

Apologies for it not being a film poster... to get things back on track here's three cracking posters I'd have to loved bid on but unfortunately they were out of my league.

This one was absolutely stunning!

I was in Prague a few years ago and found this antiques dealer with rolls of Czech posters from the thirties up and too expensive for me (although in hindsight I could at least write his name and address). He said it was all rubbish and would gladly trade them all for one original Mucha. Told me there was a ring of Mucha fakers as they fetched regularly 10,000 euros (this was still pre-euro time in Czech republic)as "The so-called experts in the west could not distinguish a real from a fake one if their lives depended on it" - his words not mine

Interesting Mondo, as I said the originals are well out of my league, but always good to know about fakes!

Interestingly the Umeleckoprumyslove museum's website (http://www.upm.cz/index.php?language=en&page=109 (http://www.upm.cz/index.php?language=en&page=109)) states:

1970—1985
Museum is closed to the public and undergoes a major rebuilding programme

The dates for the show were 'December 1971 to February 1972' which coincides with the closure and rebuilding. I emailed them before the auction closed asking if they had a catalogue or poster in their archives from this exhibition, to clarify it actually took place, they replied saying they had a catalogue in their library. This alleviated my slight worry.

I have now emailed them and asked if they have one of these posters in their archives as well, mentioning the historical 'closure' around the same time, so I'll be interested to see their reply.

And here's the reply which solves my little mystery...

'Dear Jan

it´s wrong, I remember this exhibition being not in dept. of Graphics /t.i. posters, etc./, but in a museum partt of library, hard to gtranslate the right term of this dept., something like Documentation
But the right is that after that exhibition museum was closed for almost 15 years when we did new permantn collection, completely without posters; only new permanent collection from 2000 is with 40 big posters on the "wall" and 40 or so small chromolithos for different advertising

I think the poster you woul like to buy is OK, I think we have it somewhere in archives of museum  - I don´t know what money is for it now, as for me 10 EU will be enough.'

I got a few nice posters. I was tempted to pull the trigger on some more expensive ones, but they got a little higher then what I wanted to pay so I held off. Hoping there will be some nice ones (for me) later in the month...

Actually, I just noticed I wound up buying 11 today (plus my Polish SW from earlier in the week). So that means I qualify for the "three free books" promotion again.

Bruce - since I've already gotten the "60 Great Cowboy Movie Posters, 60 Great Horror Movie Posters, 60 Great Sci-Fi Movie Posters" books from a prior auction buying spree, what happens now? Would I get the same three again, or can I get a different set?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on April 05, 2012, 11:14:04 PM
Nope, same set. I used to give sets of 31 books, then had to keep reducing as more and more sold out.

I have some others in limited supplies that I will give away in the mini/major, so wait for that!

Which are you commenting on?

The re-release had an ever rarer mylar version, along with the regular one sheet (as shown obviously).

That black one is a mock up that Hargon re-created based on a Toy Fair show pic from 1997... He went on (and on and on) about this project on MPT, where he first posted this picture.

Here is the cropped and crappy image that made the rounds back then...  The original probably has more in common with those HP7II advances, in that it was likely a trade show one-off...

Anyone who doesn't want the free books just mention that and we note your account and you won't hear any more about it.

We are really close to being completely out of the free ones anyway. I have a few of each I saved for retail sales, but there won't be any more free ones soon.

They do make unique gifts for friends who are movie buffs and they might create some more collectors!

I still have some of them distributed to books stores and they continue to sell pretty well, even 10 to 20 years after they were first published.

Further down the thread it says that the lower image is the original and the poster in the upper left is a repro and that the original was designed by conceptual illustrator Sylvain Despretz.

So someone was trying to re-create the recreation?  Awesome...

The key difference between the original pic and Hargon's recreation is the bottom-left of the 'S' (original has a printed black shadow on the last curve).  As for the printing numbers, I don't recall him mentioning it, but, considering that he clearly has some 'in' with WB (since he was the original source of the HP3 lenticular info and it's pretty much the only studio he sells posters from on eBay), it may well be accurate...

Whoever posted on that thread pulled the images and info from Hargon's website - don't know if that is still around.


BTW Erik, I am one of the Jasons... so is Hargon, I believe...

I too am very skeptical about anything like this, and have to say that they did a very....plain?....cheap?....shady?...job on the description. Most similar auction for a cause listings have a TON of information and details about the cause, etc. This one is nothing but some text.

eBay ID history seems legit though:
User ID       Effective Date       End Date
   lionsgatefilms       Apr-24-08       Present

But I am slightly suspicious about their feedback history. The account has been used to BUY a lot of stuff, including
http://www.ebay.com/itm/220924839008

Why would LIONS GATE FILMS buy "The Hunger Games -81 pg-77 Day Shoot Schedule: Day 11 to 77 & Cast Call Sheets"

Shouldn't they already have a copy? Or two? Or two hundred?

They only seem to sell posters though....

I agree that something seems amiss.

Enki, I can't believe you did all that dopey analysis.

Umm, maybe you should have checked the official Facebook page.... (http://www.facebook.com/thehungergamesmovie)

That's almost as brilliant as Jeff "x-raying" the obvious fake Goldfinger poster I posted a while back (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,718.msg27843.html#msg27843), which he's now conveniently deleted by the way.

And Thierry kinda surprised you went down that road too...

OK, so based on the Facebook page, I guess it is legit.

But that doesn't mean everything I mentioned earlier isn't still true.

Just because it is legit doesn't mean their auctions look any less crappy, and them bidding on their own movie memorabilia any less weird.

"Dont you like being in the wrong Holiday!? Because you were on MPF mate . . . JOKE . . . mean anything to you???

Christ, if I ever make my way over to your edge of the woods I'll give you a slap like the panzy I must be . . . Im running back to Andy as I type this message

I do not trust anyone, period.  Thieves everywhere. 

Besides, If Lionsgate really believes in the late Elizabeth Glaser's awesome foundation (and her equally awesome husband), maybe they should give a chunk of the enormous profit they will make out of The Hunger Games, instead of pennies from posters.  I guess when it comes to charity, Feltheimer and Burns' bonuses are what really matters

These are not Moviegoods reprints as far as I know. MovieGoods makes crap 27" x 40" unlicensed digital repros of everything under the sun (except for Disney posters because Disney sued them).  MovieGoods makes no effort to disguise that they sell reprints.  Their prints are astoundingly blurry and no one would believe they are originals.

These Godzilla posters are very high-quality 39.5" licensed repros.  MoviePosterBid sold one of them a while back:

The guy says he never said it was original in his listing, but has placed his ad in the pre-70's ORIGINALS.... and in his Questions section was trying to convince people it was genuine....  When I told him it was a re-pro, I don't think he was too happy...and he never posted my Questions on his listing...

You - and everybody else - should buy at least one MovieGoods reprint to buy "peace of mind."  You will be astounded by how bad they are.  They've got a library of 400,000 images of movie posters but all they do is "blow up" these images into 27x40 reprints (or even bus shelter size).  They don't recreate the text to make it sharper, so the text is abysmally fuzzy, practically unreadable, from the digitization/blowing up processes.  They don't size them correctly either - everything is printed at 27x40, even pre-1990 41" posters.

The good news is there are relatively few digital reprints out there we need to worry about.  The more serious problem is a perfect licensed repro - like this Godzilla reprint - that could be mistaken for a trimmed original.

Added Godzilla authentication on this forum (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,4071.0.html) and on MoviePosterCollectors.com (http://www.posternirvana.com/moviepostercollectors/MPC_Authentication_Godzilla.html).

Send links to them to any errant seller.

P.S. Just noticed it is not a printing defect on the original, just two separate blocks. Will fix.

Thanks for these, Ted. I emailed the first seller last week, as well, and never heard back from him (typical, when someone knows they are selling copper and not gold)-- and just like mr waines' question, it didnt make it to the Q&A section at the bottom of the auction page.

"art by Raymond Burr" = Priceless  

Individuals (thieves) selling these repros will never cease, as there are always those uninformed or naive buyers that will be willing to bite.

And with ebay doing little to nothing to curtail this practice, it will only continue and proliferate.

Enki, I can't believe you did all that dopey analysis.

Umm, maybe you should have checked the official Facebook page.... (http://www.facebook.com/thehungergamesmovie)

That's almost as brilliant as Jeff "x-raying" the obvious fake Goldfinger poster I posted a while back (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,718.msg27843.html#msg27843), which he's now conveniently deleted by the way.

And Thierry kinda surprised you went down that road too...


 



The x-ray image I used was a link from another site* (I did not create it) and hot linking was, apparently, not permitted (as can happen with images used from movieposterdb or impawards). Because of this, the x-ray image was removed by them, not me. Had I chosen to delete the image myself, I would have deleted the entire post; to leave my original post, sans image, makes no sense.

So the above comment is (once again) without merit and and yet another example of one's opinion (incorrectly) stated as fact.

You made a fool of yourself, along with your pal Bondie, and then you deleted your asinine "x-ray" image.  You couldn't delete your own post.

By the way, your spelling is rather pitiful too - "sight"

Once a post is "locked," (I believe the current, allowable edit time is now about 60 minutes, per Holiday) neither the image or text can be removed, altered, amended.

Anyone with basic knowledge of how APF is set up and its rules knows this.

A Hunger Games poster, with 19 signatures and from the LA Nokia Theater 3/12/12 premiere (it came with this seller's press pass, too). It sold for $1005.00

This same seller has another version of a HG poster, also with 19 signatures, currently up for auction - it stands presently at $760.00:

What is interesting and curious is that the seller is also offering his red carpet press pass with this poster, too. How would an individual have been issued 2 red carpet press passes for the same date and event?

I hope you're not suggesting he would forge a pass?

It's interesting how every sleb provided their own pen to sign the poster.  Seems like if it was a person at a party they'd just have the one pen and take it around with them.

That's just crazy talk though.  I'm sure it's perfectly legit.

Im not suggesting that (but anything is possible).

I was curious how someone might come to have 2 passes (could be a spouse, friend or other press person who didnt want to keep his, I suppose). What caught my eye was that his description says that both posters come with "my Red Carpet Press Pass."

Suffice it to say that Jeff is not nearly as innocuous as his posts on this board would suggest.  He contributes to this board, so I'm not going to go into detail. But some of us know exactly how he has crossed the line of fair play.

I didn`t ask you to Rich,,Mel was the person who made the accusation.

The only thing I can think of is that Mel and Rich are still worked up over this: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,4069.msg69915.html#msg69915

Specifically see the second paragraph regarding the 'stone lithography' thing. I thought Jeff apologized for not properly referencing that?  And, maybe it's just me, but I didn't think he was trying to be deceptive in the first place. Someone asked about the process and Jeff posted that blurb from LAMP to explain it. He should have cited them, yes, but I never got the impression he was trying to take credit for the info. 

If that is *not* what this is about, then please add me to the confused list.  Hopefully either Mel or Rich can explain.

Wanted to clarify my reply to Der Januskopf and the cast signed poster as it appears his snark-o-meter might need adjusting, as mine might need as well, but just for posterity, I think those are as real as any cast signed poster on e**y, that is to say, not at all.

Carry on.

APF the game?  What are the rules? What do I win if I know the most stuff by paraphrasing LAMP w/o credit vs. quoting w/o credit?  Isn't this suppose to be a forum for the sharing of information, not hoarding it?  I can understand the credit issue, but how many points do you get for calling out another member?

And just because it is on LAMP, it doesn't mean you got it from there, or that they were the definitive source.  Lots of info all over the place, and a lot of tribal knowlege right here.  Heck, lots of the info on LAMP came from us.

  • Eatbrie gets his panties in a bunch (a la the Thierry hates "Thierry hates "French Grande"" debacle) -- it doesn't happen often, but its pretty fun to watch.
  • Rich starts accosting you with multiple 1+ page posts explaining how you are an idiot and wrong.
  • Brude follows up on Richs verbal tirade with a severe bombardment of animated gifs.
  • Then Zorba and CSM blame everything on Cinemasterpieces.
  • Pretty soon, Ari starts getting in the offenders face asking them to take it outside (to NSFGE).
  • Don't worry though, Holiday and Mel are always on guard to make sure the punishment is all legal (it's not torture, it's enhanced interrogation...).
  • And if anyone actually states the rules publicly, I'm there to give them the final beat down for 'outting' them.

Dear hollinson2006,

Godzilla: You sold a well-known reprint. See this authentication:

http://www.posternirvana.com/moviepostercollectors/MPC_Authentication_Godzilla.html

Please cancel the auction and refund the buyer. Otherwise, I will contact Ebay and report you as well as the winning bidder (when s/he leaves feedback) and let him/her know that you ripped him/her off.

Dear alphamel1968,

Hi If you had read the listing you will see for yourself that no where states original or authentic it also does not say a re-pro or re-print I am no expert in posters I have no intention on ripping people off (look at my ebay feedback). Further more I don’t like or expect to be bullied by someone like you to whom I have had no contact with before.

In the interest of keeping my good name I have not carried on with the transaction, therefore if you have anything to do with :-http://www.posternirvana.com/moviepostercollectors/MPC_Authentication_Godzilla.html I would kindly ask you to inform them of this message and remove my personal details on this link, I have no grievance in the link to giving out the correct info (without my personal details) I just only wished that I had that info available to myself.

I will search mightily for another. At least you know that if one turns up, you might get it for far less.

Beautiful poster.  Bad luck Matt and David.

Did you manage to add any beauties to your collections?

I ended up with nada  :(

I wasn't really in it for the Marilyn I had to go out so I couldn't watch and make a call as to whether I would carry on with the bidding. In my head I had $1200 as my max if I had been there, as it turned out I would have been way off the pace anyway.

But I also missed on Lost Moment which I left a $30 max on and which Matt won, then again I came third and third doesn't even get you a "well played sir" nowadays.   :(

Have to add that I had a great conversation with Matt via email yesterday, there was a bit of maneuvering as we discussed some of the items coming up etc...then I realised Matt was probably going after MM as well and when we both confirmed to each we wished each other all the best, which was nice even if it didn't improve the result for either of us.  :P

Hi Jeff, sorry, I missed your comment... EyeCandyPosters.com is still not live, but hope to update it completely over the next 2 weeks.

Oh, nameandshameyou.com ? yes it is up

Maybe we should start a secret organisation for aussies who love daybills so we can share the love equally amongst ourselves and stop them from going overseas.  We could consider an honorary place at the table for that annoying Canadian with some crappy noir daybills.  We could each charge him one daybill entry into the group.

I have to say I don't feel as deflated as Matt probably does, because I wasn't there bidding live it feels less like I lost...and as I said I wasn't really in it. What was interesting was that we both felt there was going to be a lot more bidders than what there ended up being.

I too am curious as to whether berta8 is a local (to this forum).

Strine /ˈstraɪn/ is a term coined in 1964[1] and subsequently used to describe a broad accent of Australian English. The term is a syncope, derived from a shortened phonetic rendition of the pronunciation of the word "Australian" in an exaggerated Broad Australian accent, drawing upon the tendency of this accent to run words together in a form of liaison.

So it is...

Are you surprised at how low it went for or how high?  I've bought from that seller before snd they now doubt have some great stuff. However, the condition either seems to be totally un-used or very heavily used -- many multiple sets of pin holes, rough folds, tape, lots of wear, etc...

Harry, i had no response either way. I just know that this OS has gone for varying amounts over time and happened to notice this recent auction. It was more for pointing out a recent sales price for this piece.

It seems to me like a fair price. I've seen VG-FN condition rolled examples of this poster go for $300-400ish on EMP. But this one is folded and looks to be in rougher shape. Looks like some possible tears, fold wear, pin holes, etc.. Since the single picture is very small, it's hard to make a good condition grade, so I imagine many people were hesitant.

Also, the last three similar (G-VG Folded) examples on EMP went for $86-$111, so the selling price here (plus $25 S/H) seems to be right in the ballpark.

I was watching a few of this seller's auctions. The NOES sold for less than I thought it would.  I would have guessed 150-170.  I was aiming at the Over the Edge poster but that one went for more than I was expecting.

Maybe this is old news, but have you seen that Heritage sold a set of black swan posters for $1500 in 2011 and $1100 in the last sale?  That's pretty amazing for such new material.

re yobbo - hayseed, perhaps, although I think of hayseed as simple, harmless (?). Yobbos are likely to come over uninvited, drink your beer, play ACDC and root your wife, while vomiting on your grandmother (and if not in reality they might think its a good thing to tell their mates they did).

I might kark it, I might kick the bucket.

I skipped this one due to the faint writing on it... but you have to admit it really adds something special.  From the listing:

Quote
ITEM DESCRIPTION; ORIGINAL  UK 30" x 40" Quad. This poster is in ONLY GOOD CONDITION. Please see photos. There are tack holes in all four corners, a small piece out of lower right border. The main condition issue is that there are TWO areas with writing, in ink. Above the illustration is 'sex' and also some lines beneath lower center part of illustration.

Hmmm... I wonder what they mean by "some lines beneath the lower center part of the illustration"?  Oh, I see it now...  ;D

People assume that if they win something at auction that -- what ever it goes for -- it is a 'fair market' price.  While generally that assumption *should* be true, I think Bruce has attracted enough frenzied buyers at this point that rational concepts like 'fair market pricing' quickly go out the window!

Doesn't that really depend on who the buyers are, and what they are willing to spend at the time of the auction?

I've looked at emovieposter.com's auction history for many titles lately (Thank you Bruce) and I've seen the same titles go for very cheap at one auction, and a lot at another without much time in-between. It goes to show that they are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay, and prices will always fluctuate. I now feel there is no solid current market prices, just a bare minimum that is most likely always far less than you would want to sell it for.

Quite amazing results. Literally every poster the one person purchased was purchased at a record price (especially if condition is taken into consideration), except for the King Kong vs. Godzilla which is not only the rarest of the bunch, but probably sold at a slight discount to usual retail. For example the Monster Zero poster: Heritage twice tried to auction that same copy before it finally sold last year for $101, and looking at Bruce's own recent results the Smog Monster poster probably sold at the largest multiple of it's usual selling price.  Thank goodness I have copies of all of these, or the prices could have been even crazier.

Nice job Bruce bidders.

Can't wait to see what other goodies Bruce has from this Japanese poster collection. I'm keeping my fingers crossed he might finally have some lobby cards I need - you might really see some fireworks then.

How do we know any of those people in your sig are real. They all look photoshopped. The guy top left who is showing the least of his t-shirt, really needs to get his act together ;)

Actually that is interesting, the private listing, I wonder why the seller enables that... to cover shilling...?

This is why I will never bid a reasonable amount on a seller with a private listing!!  I always bid a lot lower than I normally would, no matter how much I want the poster. Yes I maybe a tight Yorkshireman, but we hate to be ripped off... ;)

Not a movie poster but this TWA/New York (David Klein) poster recently sold at Christie's for $10,000, triple the high estimate:

Cool! I am surprised it sold this high but not too surprised as it is an awesome poster, if you are into advertising posters. I have some (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,1587.msg21480.html#msg21480) of the TWA's showing Constellation prop aircraft incl this one. You have your eye Mel on TWA's at the moment. Sounds like you are poised to get more into advertising posters  :)

My collecting is like a pendulum, every few months I flip back and forth between movie posters and advertising posters and at the moment its back onto advertising posters... They usually have better color and I collect for the art.

Yo Stevie Wonder, congrats on owning a $10,000 poster (although this auction  (http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/searchresults.aspx?action=search&searchtype=p&entry=twa&location=&exclude=&e1=&e2=&sortby=date&num=45#action=refine&searchtype=p&entry=twa&location=&exclude=&e1=&e2=&sortby=date&num=45&sid=92bb34f8-6e64-40c8-8d27-040833cd8892)was exceptionally high compared to past Christies auctions).

No, I don't have any travel posters yet.  Tried to buy one a couple of weeks ago but the Emovie crazy bidders beat me. (They just beat me on this High School Hellcats (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2551425) poster too.)

I don't buy 3 sheets anymore, too hard to display, too many folds.

I saw another 1 sheet of this for sale and the dealer claims that many Hellcats 1 sheets exhibit significant color fading.

And Mel, you say "They just beat me on this High School Hellcats poster too:, but the auction has almost 4 days to go:

Yep, $400 is getting in the retail range for that poster, even in near-mint condition.

I play to win get a reasonable bargain. Let the "anonymice" crazies fight it out over $400 :)

But there are others on the want list....

OK, now that part 1 is history, I will admit that I had 22 items on my watch list.  My intent was to go all in up to $200 on the right item.  Every item on my list went for at least $120, and the ones I felt were worth bidding $200 on all went for over $300.  Every single item went past my point of pain, and I ended up not actually bidding on anything.  In spite of all of Bruce's claims of how he is giving stuff away, I feel prices are up significantly in the last six months.

I guess the rest of you have more disposable income than I can compete with.  All's the pity :(

The same bidder also took home both the blue and green versions of the US one sheet for THE HORROR OF DRACULA (1958) for $555.00 and $460.00 and the rare teaser for ALIEN (1979) for $1005.00

I imagine that's how people feel when you beat them in an auction.  ;)

Someone has to lose in an auction, usually it's more than one person too.

Of the two I was serious about today I lost one and won one; the one I lost I had already researched it and found a back up for sale elsewhere which I have now bought for $30 less than it went for at Bruce's place. So I'm not unhappy at all.

Post by: jayn_j on April 29, 2012, 07:12:38 PM
No, I can see how it appeared I was whining.  Wasn't trying to.  Just observing that the days of the bargains we have been seeing the last several years appear to be over.  Look at any classic title that has been sold for 20+ years.  You will see that there was a drop in prices around 2000, and then a slow buildup until another drop in the late 2000s.  This might actually be an indicator that the current recession is lightening up.

My personal downside is that I can't seem to compete in Bruce's auctions anymore, especially the majors.

Jay, maybe your taste is too good! You obviously like interesting items, and don't want the items that sell low (and clearly there is nothing wrong with that, but it makes it harder to get good buys).

There WERE 45 LINENBACKED posters that went for $35 or less, and most or all of those were well under the cost of the linen (see the bottom 80 here: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/3/16.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/3/16.html)).

Plus, of course linenbacked items tend to go for more, both because of the added cost, and because people obviously mostly back high quality items.

And it IS true that this auction attracted a LOT of excellent consignments (better than usual) and rather than that being a reflection of the economy picking up, it could also be a reflection of the economy hurting those exact consignors to where they need to raise some cash.

Please wait until the other three parts are over before you declare us to be a "no bargain zone"!

What's the saying... you can't polish a turd (well actually you can but that doesn't make it worth anything) just like linen-backing your junk mail wouldn't make the junk mail worth anything.  I'd find it hard to believe people would pay to linen-back some of those posters that sold for cheap so I assume they were probably just a linen-backers test subject.

Judging today's sales, it seems that linen-baked daybills, with the exception of Earth Vs Flying Saucers, go down in value compared to non-backed.
The postage cost is my main hassle.

Bruce

But at the same time, let's not forget that an amazing 56 items went for over $500.  An outstanding 91 went for over $400 and an unbelievable 136 went for over $300.  Yes folks, that's more than 25% of the items listed going for over $300!  ;)

Not too tough to find yourself coming up short with numbers like that.  I've been at this long enough that I have no intention on bidding on random crap, just to be bidding.

At any rate, Congratulations Bruce on a great Sunday.  I hope the other days go as well.

Well Bruce finally had something I wanted (1st poster purchase on emovie this year), ironically I discovered it originally sold at Heritage four years ago unbacked so I ended up paying about the Heritage price plus backing costs, which would have been vendor price for an unbacked one if any vendor actually had one.  So I'm pleased.  Now if Bruce would only get more Italian 2F's maybe I could finally get a certain Marisa Mell poster I've been trying to get for six months, but it looks like I might finally be in the process of getting it from a certain vendor in Italy, it's like pulling teeth to get these Italian vendors to sell you a poster at their ridiculously high prices!

It's interesting how the seller called this a "vertical half sheet," rather than an insert (per his description, it measures 14 x 35.75 inches). There is another item I found, from a different seller, who also describes his 14"x36" insert with this same terminology.

This auction ended last night. IMO, this is one of the most stunning images of Bette Davis, in what I consider one her finest performances, in the film,THE LITTLE FOXES (1941). This looks to be for the first French release in 1947. It is the moyenne size and the winning bid was $1025.00.

What a work of art!  clap clap

You UK peoples have got some 'splaining to do!   The Christies prices from yesterday are just wacky A-Z.

Linen-backed 2001 "Starchild" 1970 (not 1968) re-release(!!!!!).  As discussed on MOPO, Christie's did announce this was the later re-release but it still went for $2,600.  I paid $100 for a ROLLED copy of this exact poster a few months ago:

And that Dr No quad looked as if it had been screwed up into a ball and then flattened.

Does that add to its value?

This is a nice poster that I missed - http://www.ebay.com/itm/190670526788?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I meant to throw in a largish bid near the auction close, but spent the day in a place with no mobile phone reception (hospital!), so missed it. I'm not entirely sure what it is though...UK bus stop poster going by the sellers other items and the 15 rating next to the title?

Post by: erik1925 on May 04, 2012, 05:20:35 PM
Are UK bus stops the same size as US 40x60s? Is that a pretty standard size, regardless of the country it is used (or issued) in?

Well here we go again,  U.K. bus stop posters are in metric and are 1200mmX 1800mm Which is close to a 6sht,

60X40 is a  U.K. 4sht size so that would have been a 4sht...

I think it's a British thing, as the humour is very British. A lot of the U.S. fellows on CHFB don't rate it. Whale was British, and loved to work with a British cast so makes perfect sense.

It's a fantastic film, of Uncle Carls era and Universal Pictures don't get much better than that. I'm sad for you, that you cannot appreciate it for what it is....

I've tended to be much more in tune with British sensibilities than your average American (I'm pretty sure that I was the only kid in my grade school whose favorite show was The Avengers), but I suppose something could be lost in translation.  Phil on NSFGE (Aussie) wasn't as down on it as I, but still didn't think much of it if I recall.  I've never had a problem with other sources of British humor (Ealing, particularly Ladykillers and Kind Hearts, Python, plenty of Brit TV over the past 30 years-Benny Hill notwithstanding, all the way up to modern day, where many of my favorite directors are plying their trade - Leigh, Winterbottom, Wright, Vaughn...).  In fact, the only instance that I know of where I've yet to 'get it' is Withnail & I.   I fell asleep minutes into the film, twice... I would give it another go, though...

But which other major 'monster' movie is worse in your opinion?...

I dont think its a matter of good or bad taste but a matter of personal taste. Each his own.

I think The Invisible man is an excellent film. Claude Rains is GREAT in it.

That French poster is fantastic.

I maybe should have rephrased British as Northern British, Una O'Conner, whom I believe gets on a lot of Americans nerves, and is the main reason of them not liking the film as much. She is a typical Northern Wifey, being brought up in the North of England I can see that character in a lot of women of a certain generation (more so when I was young).  Personally I think She's great, and the old, "what's the worst thing in Bride of Frankenstein"...Una o'Conner, argument.  I think she only adds to make the film the classic it is...  

I think where the Invisible Man gets a bad wrap, is he's not a Monster, in the classic sense like Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, Creature, etc these films get banded together as a genre, yet they touch on many. The effects were the thing that got me as a kid, like Kong, Fulton's effects were ground breaking, and audience's at the time must have been astounded. Sound was new, never mind a man being invisible on the screen... ;)

Which other Monster movie is worse, from that period.... I would have to say None, I love them all, with all there faults. House of Dracula is always slated as poor, and Yes those films were running out of steam by then, but I still enjoy it every time I watch it. Unfortunately I'm a fan of all Universals Horror, Monster, Sci-fi, thriller, etc films.... I can think of plenty of new films that come NO where near as entertaining as The Invisible Man.... Do try to enjoy these for what they are, Great pieces of Entertainment.

My favorite line from Whale's THE INVISIBLE MAN:

"We'll begin with a reign of terror,
a few murders here and there,
murders of great men,
murders of little men,
just to show we make no distinction."

It's always amusing that people think of the Monster as put together with nuts and bolts, like a Robot. And as the Name is on the poster...

More like with sutures .. ;)   That could have been interesting, methinks.

I guess by listing both E E Clive and Lionel Belmore, the Burgomeisters from both FRANK films could be kept of the same bill.   ;D

I maybe should have rephrased British as Northern British, Una O'Conner, whom I believe gets on a lot of Americans nerves, and is the main reason of them not liking the film as much. She is a typical Northern Wifey, being brought up in the North of England I can see that character in a lot of women of a certain generation (more so when I was young).  Personally I think She's great, and the old, "what's the worst thing in Bride of Frankenstein"...Una o'Conner, argument.  I think she only adds to make the film the classic it is...  

I think where the Invisible Man gets a bad wrap, is he's not a Monster, in the classic sense like Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, Creature, etc these films get banded together as a genre, yet they touch on many. The effects were the thing that got me as a kid, like Kong, Fulton's effects were ground breaking, and audience's at the time must have been astounded. Sound was new, never mind a man being invisible on the screen... ;)

Which other Monster movie is worse, from that period.... I would have to say None, I love them all, with all there faults. House of Dracula is always slated as poor, and Yes those films were running out of steam by then, but I still enjoy it every time I watch it. Unfortunately I'm a fan of all Universals Horror, Monster, Sci-fi, thriller, etc films.... I can think of plenty of new films that come NO where near as entertaining as The Invisible Man.... Do try to enjoy these for what they are, Great pieces of Entertainment.        


Thumbs up to Una O'Conner, too, Paul. She is a pistol, in this, BRIDE and even years later in her smaller role in WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION. Her added, over the top campiness in BRIDE is what Whale wanted. What more could you ask for, when Ernest Thesiger was also in the mix-- needlepoint and all.  ;)

Pardon me for interrupting this love-fest, but I wanted to point out this auction that just closed (I didn't dare post it in the mid-auction thread for fear of "outing it".

I think this is incredibly cool, and I think if the cheese man had been here, he would have been all over it.

Tomorrow We Live (released in the U.S. as "At Dawn We Die"), the 1943 George King English World War II (WWII) Occupied France wartime military melodrama ("The FIRST story of the rape of France!"; "An unforgettable story with an unforgettable cast!"; "Husbandless women facing war's penalties! ALONE!"; about a Frenchman in Occupied France who wants to escape to England, and give the English information he has gathered about a German submarine base) starring John Clements, Godfrey Tearle, Hugh Sinclair, Greta Gynt, and Judy Kelley. Note that an oddity of this movie is that it was originally called "Tomorrow We Live" in England, and yet, when it was released in the U.S., the title was changed 180 degrees to "At Dawn We Die", and the movie was also given the lurid tagline of "The story of the rape of France!". Also, note that by 1943, there were quite a few French actors who had taken refuge in England and America, and the filmmakers could certainly have cast real French men and women in the lead roles, yet they are all played by English actors!

Not trying to take sides here but IMO,he's right,Brude.Generally,the role of the moderator precludes him/her from such behavior.
Otherwise, there's really no point in having moderators.

This JAWS auction ended on ebay, a short time ago. In the title, the seller described it as measuring 27x41, but in the description and in a question he answered, he says that after removing it from the frame and re-measuring, it is, in fact, 27x40. One person asked the seller if it had been trimmed and that part of the question wasnt answered. He also says it is an original poster.

I also wrote him, to re-verify the measurements. He replied, stating that the poster does measure 27x40. I followed up, saying that if this was a first release OS from 1975, it should measure 27x41 inches. I also asked if it had been trimmed to fit in the frame. The poster was folded, and the NSS info looks to be correct.

The wife of the seller wrote me back, with an hour to go, saying that her husband had worked at Van Nuys Theater in the 1970s and had gotten a bunch of posters. They had the JAWS one sheet framed, indicating it had been trimmed to fit into the frame by the framer.   

Anyhow, someone got it for $268.00

it was a super low price and I have it on good authority that the winning bidder is very happy.

I wonder why nobody exposed it here on APF where all good auctions get exposed so that people who go to L.U.R.K.E.R. University could have bid the winner up to stratospheric heights

People like to focus on the high prices we achieve, but there are also some great deals (and real steals) as well. We get lots of emails saying "If I had only known X poster would go for that I would have bid".

Join the 7,300+ other active registered users who make certain to check out our auctions three times a week (or create some want lists, so you will be notified when we auction items of interest to you).

I doubt we will get either item again, but especially that "They Call Her One Eye".

Bruce, are you saying one can give you a list of posters they are after, and if you get them to auction off, I'll get an email to saying so...?

If this is right, I'll have to get you a list sent over.

Agreed.  A few of the B1s went for a lot (for newer stuff) but there were a lot that went at very low prices.

The Matrix Reloaded B1s (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/page/15/11.html) went pretty low, for a big set of B1s, but that may be more due to The Matrix Reloaded stuff being not as sought after as the original The Matrix.  

The Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2566059) set went pretty high, IMO.  I wonder if it was because people like the movie or because it was an "investment."  Maybe Holiday or Marklawd can chime in.

Holiday is always going to be the initial winner of Japanese B1 posters he wants for his collection so I had to bow out when the bidding reached my limit. Hopefully, I will be successful if another set becomes available. I like to get hold of rarer Harry Potter posters when I come across them as I consider these will prove to be be good "investments" in a decade or two.

Harry Potter is probably a good film series to invest in, considering the strong following they have.  A set of B1s for almost any movie is probably pretty darn rare.  All things considered, what they sold for may actually be a fairly low price.

Hi bruce
yeah i am a member and have checked the auctions religiously 3 times a week since i joined about 18 months ago.
but for some reason because the sunday auction is skipping a week i somehow thought it all was???? i dont why i just did? DOH!
the only reason i looked at all is someone sent me a PM on here about something else.
in fairness i guess i could just about have put a bid in for one or the other at the prices they went for, but not if the other person wanted a battle. i could have streched to $70 JUST about.
maybe i should have? but no good crying about torn papers now is it.
my loss and someone elses gain.

Neo, I know..and it is what the feeding frenzy/market will bear. I guess when I see these kinds of listings for a current, "hot" release, I wonder what those same, autographed posters would sell for, in say a year or so.

I can't see them going for anywhere near that price, can you?

It's a heckuva popular, praised flick.  I think it's safe to say that autographs and items with provenance of that quality will do best in the long run.  Hopefully for the people who bought them, and thinking about my Avatar lenticular purchase, I hope the best stuff for all movies like that will continue to sell in the future at an increasingly higher rate than inflation!  8)  Living in the present is best, IMO, and most of the people who really love stuff like that probably don't worry about the potential future $ as much as investors.

All true.. i was more speaking about those individuals, that, for whatever reason, might opt or want to sell a year from now, and may be lucky to get 10% of their purchase price (paid, in late May, 2012).  ;)

Sad to report, the guy who bought the Goldfinger repro we all discussed on the Mid Auction thread a few weeks back confirmed it was a repro, and has filed for his money back from the seller. The good news is it's looks like he will be re-funded.

The Sadder news is he never checked here, and isn't a member... I keep saying to people, we have a great cross-section of collectors on here who know their stuff. Don't delay, join APF today... ;)

Yes it was...  If I remember the story right the guy had it hanging up and after watching one go off in the Halloween auction; here I pulled the story below. But what I think he is saying that he duped somebody into spending an extra ten grand when these two went for 20K and 17K...  Must be nice having Leonardo as a client... ;) 

However that being said the 33K copy was in much better condition than both of Bruce's...

Yet we wrote in our Halloween auction that we had never previously had this poster at auction, despite actively seeking it for 23 years! So how did we come to get it for this auction (and also the equally rare style B half-sheet from Invasion of the Body Snatchers)? Here's what happened: After we auctioned the War of The Worlds style B half-sheet, one of our consignors looked at his example on the wall (which he had framed over ten years before), and to his dismay, he realized it had faded over those ten years. Worse yet, he had it framed side-by-side with the Invasion of the Body Snatchers style B half-sheet (he also had a framed "The Thing" half-sheet on the same wall), and all three had faded (the framer he had used was an expensive one, and they had assured him that they had used high quality UV Plexiglas, but they had saved money by using non UV instead). After it completely sunk in what had happened, he thought it would make sense to consign both of them to us, so that he could put the sad affair out of his mind (the framer who did not use UV glass is out of business, so he has no one to sue). While the reds in this poster have indeed faded to where they are now a light orange, the poster still displays well, and it will be up to our bidders to determine how much of a detraction this defect is (and this really IS a very rare poster!). Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards.

Wasn't Bruce's very faded?

Was it? (http://boards.collectors-society.com/images/graemlins/default/confused-smiley-013.gif)

Looks pretty solid to me (perhaps you are confusing it with the second copy he sold).
I remember commenting at the time that the price realized was at least a 10-year (public) low on the title.
And with the way early horror had been depressed since the Haggard scandal I was worried that the depression had spread to 50s sci-fi also.
Nice to see some things back on the uptick.

Sean is correct that it was the second copy that Bruce sold that was faded because the owner hadn't placed it properly within his home to prevent direct or indirect sunlight.

Real nice, Charlie.

Looking back on it, I find it amazing how I used to leave the blinds open all day, most days, with a lot of indirect/reflected sunlight shining on all my framed stuff.  But now, after various things, including the War of the Worlds half sheet Bruce had that was faded, it was compelling enough for me to change my outlook and now I almost always keep my blinds closed.  I finally came to my senses and figured that even though I have fancy UV windows and UV plexi, these posters have lasted this many years, a few of them several decades, and I should take care of them as best as possible.

Sold for $33,000 today.  :)

Pay no attention to me; Hater's Gonna Hate and Spenders Gonna Spend. And I hate big spenders because I can't be one....  At least a 33K one; maybe just a hundreds or thousands of potential dollars one...  ;)

Man I feel testy today more than normal. - probably because I had to work all memorial day weekend and some mamby pamby rich kid got to buy a WOTW half sheet with the money his daddy left him or money he duped out of someone else.  33K!, I hope that guys trips on his way to the mail box.

I'm asking why some members here, who constantly bicker about this issue where it concerns Heritage are not equally asking about it here. Of course, I know the answer.. it's because some people have a boner for Heritage, or people just like to gossip like a sewing circle.

however, I sure hope you folks are smart enough to get the total sarcasm of my post

I've defended Bruce in the past as well as Heritage.
I've defended alot of oher people as well over time, including Jeannie at one point whom I didn't hardly even know at the time when I participated in her defense against someone else who is also my friend.
I'm not particular when I see someone being wronged, although there are people I wouldn't defend if they were being bombarded

yeah, we only had it a few weeks, we got it from an animal shelter (an adult cat) and a few weeks later it was very sick, spent 2 weeks going to the vets, and taking home, and it died. Was very sad. The vet said he knew the cat, and that he told the owner it had "cat aids" so the owner, rather than have it put down or treated, obviously took it to the animal shelter, and left us to not only pay for the cat, foot the vet bills (a couple of grand in the end) but break a 3 year old girls heart.

I probably don't agree on some of that, but I'll stop nitpicking.  If you feel alright about making broad generalizations like that, then fair enough...  Now where did I park my Camaro?   8)

I guess if you can judge, then so can I...  cheers 

I commend someone for having the taste to buy that poster and yeah I could be totally wrong; it might be a guy like you or me (More like T or Holiday) that made an investment purchase.  But what is the fun in that?  I'd rather ridicule the fictional rich asshole who has a WOTW 1/2 sheet, when we don't and presumably never will.  (Unless I hit the lotto or successfully patent air...)

Now where did I park my WOTW 1/2 sheet?

yeah it is, thanks, but long time ago now, my little girl is 18 this year, and the next cat she got a couple of years later is still alive and kicking!

re rich people and buying expensive posters (or cars)posters etc.

In all honesty everyone here is rich compared to most of the worlds population.

So count your lucky stars even if all you have is a laminated Pretty Woman repro.

So what do you all think?  Was this a fair price?  High?  Low?  There has only been one sold before between Christie's, eMovie and HA... it was at HA, but it was badly faded and only brought $5K.  However, the other card with the bride on it (not a close up, but with the Monster) goes for more... $8K faded at HA and $12K in better condition years ago at eMovie/Christies. 

This one was a bit nicked up, but the colors are fantastic.

Hi Harry,

I saw, too, that Jim mentioned a buyer that flaked (Phil in england). When i saw Jim's post-sale notation that the poster had sold, then the buyer had backed off (on a closed item), I thought that referred to a previous fall thru sale. I didnt think ebay postings could be amended or added to, after an auction/BIN was completed.

Let me amend and remove that, if I can, so there is no confusion.  ;)

Update. Jim Gresham did, in fact, sell his WEREWOLF OF LONDON Fr 1P on ebay, on the second go around. The comment about the UK flake buyer was from a previous, unrelated sale that buckled. (the double post about this withdrawn sale caught my eye).

So, once again, congrats to Jim G on a wonderful sale!!

Relative rare Carmen Jones 1945 1S sold today.  (My bid was too low).  It's a pretty cool poster but it's mainly valuable because very few mainstream posters from the 40s/50s featured a black actor/actress:

I am sure Tang knows me than me, but this is what we have assembled (he is welcome to correct or add to it):

Tang shan da xiong, the classic 1971 (released in the U.S. in 1973 as "Fists of Fury" and as "The Big Boss") Lo Wei Hong Kong kung fu martial arts thriller ("Karate/Kung-Fu!"; "The new screen excitement that gives you the biggest kick of your life!"; "Karate/Kung-Fu! The oriental sensation - now gives America the action its been waiting for!") starring Bruce Lee ("every limb of his body is a lethal weapon"), Maria Yi, Han Ying Chieh, Tony Liu, and Malalene. Note that this movie (and "The Chinese Connection") received very limited release in the United States until after the success of "Enter the Dragon", at which point both movies received wide U.S. releases!

Jing Wu Men (released in the U.S. in 1973 as "The Chinese Connection" and as "Fist of Fury", which makes a confusing situation even more confusing, since Lee's other early hit was "Fists of Fury"!), the classic 1972 Lo Wei Hong Kong kung fu martial arts fighting action crime thriller ("Unstoppable! Unbelievable! Unbeatable!"; "The Master of Karate/ Kung Fu is back to break you up, smash you down, and kick you apart with 'The Chinese Connection'"; produced by Raymond Chow) starring Bruce Lee ("The greatest exponent in the art of kung-fu"), Maria Yi, Nora Miao, Robert Baker, and James Tien. Note that this movie (and "Fists of Fury") received very limited release in the United States until after the success of "Enter the Dragon", at which point both movies received wide U.S. releases!

Interesting bid history on this poster, too. Aside from someone early on who bid 10.00, the 12 bid, "bidding war" was happening with the same 3 people. Two have feedbacks of well over 2000 (2198 and 2297), and the third==== a feedback of 1.

It may be that it is drymounted or has border issues. I told the seller to take it out of the frame, whether he auctioned it himself or gave it to us, but he didn't listen. He either did great or OK, depending on condition.

You just don't see very many posters like this offered (Dave has a line that truly applies here) so that inflates the price whenever items like this do show.

It may be that it is drymounted or has border issues. I told the seller to take it out of the frame, whether he auctioned it himself or gave it to us, but he didn't listen. He either did great or OK, depending on condition.

You just don't see very many posters like this offered (Dave has a line that truly applies here) so that inflates the price whenever items like this do show.

I told him the same thing.  Maybe he peaked behind the frame and decided it would be better for the buyer to find out that it was dry-mounted *after* the auction!  If it is unbacked it looks to be in killer condition.

I am sure Tang knows me than me, but this is what we have assembled (he is welcome to correct or add to it):

Tang shan da xiong, the classic 1971 (released in the U.S. in 1973 as "Fists of Fury" and as "The Big Boss") Lo Wei Hong Kong kung fu martial arts thriller ("Karate/Kung-Fu!"; "The new screen excitement that gives you the biggest kick of your life!"; "Karate/Kung-Fu! The oriental sensation - now gives America the action its been waiting for!") starring Bruce Lee ("every limb of his body is a lethal weapon"), Maria Yi, Han Ying Chieh, Tony Liu, and Malalene. Note that this movie (and "The Chinese Connection") received very limited release in the United States until after the success of "Enter the Dragon", at which point both movies received wide U.S. releases!

Jing Wu Men (released in the U.S. in 1973 as "The Chinese Connection" and as "Fist of Fury", which makes a confusing situation even more confusing, since Lee's other early hit was "Fists of Fury"!), the classic 1972 Lo Wei Hong Kong kung fu martial arts fighting action crime thriller ("Unstoppable! Unbelievable! Unbeatable!"; "The Master of Karate/ Kung Fu is back to break you up, smash you down, and kick you apart with 'The Chinese Connection'"; produced by Raymond Chow) starring Bruce Lee ("The greatest exponent in the art of kung-fu"), Maria Yi, Nora Miao, Robert Baker, and James Tien. Note that this movie (and "Fists of Fury") received very limited release in the United States until after the success of "Enter the Dragon", at which point both movies received wide U.S. releases!

I just call em by their H.K english/U.K titles ;)

This is Greek vhs poster , not from US......

This was crazy.  The seller called it a "reproduction Motorpsycho" but it appeared to be original.  Several savvy bidders figured it out.  It went from $10 to $387 in the last 10 ten seconds.

So I just bought my first poster on eBay from an random and unknown seller. All my prior posters came from EMP or one of Dave's eBay auctions.

www.ebay.com/itm/160809285492
(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/WALT-DISNEY-WINNIE-POOH-1970S-HALF-SHEET-MOVIE-POSTER-EX-NM-SHAPE-/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/$(KGrHqV,!mEE69kMSNzJBO3C6IsQU!~~60_12.JPG)

I think I got a pretty good deal, since the same poster (in lesser condition I believe) sold two days ago on EMP for over four times the price:
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/9366875.html
And the only other example I could find was on HA from a while back that went for about double the price.

We're having a kid in a few months, and plan on going for a Pooh look, so I think this will go nicely in her room.

It looks genuine, but the colors seem a tad bit off in the listing picture, compared to the other two examples, but that could just be due to the camera/lighting. This is also my first 1/2sheet. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on how I can verify that it's an authentic poster? It seems such an uncommon one to fake, so I'm hoping it's good.

Well, so much for his $15,000 expectations. I had bid on it and got sniped at the last second, but it wasn't anywhere near what the guy actually wanted. I wasn't expecting it to sell. Apparently none of the other owners of similar posters thought so either.

That's the problem with collectibles, especially rare ones. People can talk about how much something is "worth" and what they would or wouldn't sell their particular item for (if they actually have one themselves), but in the end, it comes down to how much other people are willing to pay. Oh well, I would have liked to have had this poster.

I dont see it a s a problem but as the reality.

They can tell me all day long that something is worth $1,000 but if they cant find anyone to pay over $50 for it than it is not worth more than that $50. The rest is all bullshit.

Well, I would say it's more of a problem with some of the collectors versus the collectibles themselves. But your point is very accurate.

I sent the seller an IM offering an amount substantially above the highest bid, but he politely refrained from accepting it. I wish him the best of luck trying to get his asking price in the future - but it certainly won't be from me.

On the collection of bound volumes, who can really say "value"? But they should have gone to a place like the Motion Picture Academy (and maybe they did!).

On the triple-bill, whenever someone tells me "I was told X was worth $10,000" I always say, "Did they have a checkbook out?". And they always say "No".

It is like guys here speculating on the teaser Bride of Frankenstein going for a million dollars. What they think means nothing. What matters is what guys with a million dollars think.

With that being said, this poster has been handled in the worst possible way so far. Next step will likely be an appearance in an auction catalog with something like a $10,000 reserve. And maybe he will get lucky. You never know.

True, but within reason.

For example, a week or so ago on Storage Wars (yes, I like the show), Barry found a Revenge crew jacket. Very cool. Anyway, he went to see some "hollywood memorabilia experts" to get it appraised. Long story short, they mentioned the Revenge poster and said that they start at $5000. Now, we all know that simply isn't true. In fact, they didn't even differentiate between the dated and undated versions. But, I know enough to know that their pricing is utter BS. Even Dave doesn't try to sell them for that much. Fortunately, even if someone was foolish enough to have one, watch that episode, and think "OMG, I'm going to sell mine for $5,000!", there are enough of these posters in circulation with historical price data to hopefully set the record straight.

However, with this poster, the latter isn't the case. There is no record of selling prices for similar ones (at least documented that I could find), so the seller had to go solely on their sentimental value as well as what other "Experts" told him it was worth. And the "Experts" he spoke with gave him five-digit values. Apparently he also tracked down other owners who said that their posters were worth $15,000. But, notice that none of these so-called experts actually offered to buy it for that amount. And when he put it up for auction, he made his description clear that all of these high-rollers were going to be fighting over it, which probably scared some people off.

In the end, I think we really don't know what the true "value" of this poster is. I think if it was listed again, with no reserve, and a less.....threatening?....description, and the market was able to make a determination, then we would have an idea what it could actually go for.

Post by: enki on June 18, 2012, 11:58:08 AM
Possibly.

But your 25% consignment fee could possibly turn the seller off. Based on the comments posted by people he spoke with prior to the eBay listing, the reason why he went that route was because he wanted to minimize the fees so he could get as much money as possible. That, and the fact that his reserve price wouldn't be honored, is probably why he didn't use a real auction house (EMP, HA, PIH, etc.).

But regardless of where/how he sells it, I don't think even you would be able to get a $15,000 buyer for him.

You don't know us very well do you  :-*

I'm certain we could get A LOT for it, a lot more than he could get on his own. I don't know if we could get 15k, but it is not impossible and we would certainly try to get that if that is what he wants. We sell posters, especially Star Wars and James Bond posters for higher prices than practically anybody.

For example, we just sold a rolled Star Wars style A one sheet for $2195.00 on eBay. I could list dozens of other similar examples where we sell items for 5x or more what they generally go for elsewhere.

The guy has 3 choices: 1. Send it to us and have a good chance of selling it at a fixed price for A LOT. 2. Send it to an auction house and take his chances at auction. 3. Keep trying to sell it by himself.

A 25% consignment fee is well worth it if you don't have the ability to sell it yourself.

Post by: enki on June 18, 2012, 07:19:50 PM
You are correct - I have no idea how well your fixed price listings do. I know you give the prices and "SOLD" next to certain items, but without seeing the date sold (and the specific selling price, not just the asking price), it's hard to get an idea of how often items sell for high dollar amounts and the overall performance.

I'm certain you do get a lot of people to pay higher premiums at your site though. I know I wouldn't pay $2195 for a rolled Style A, but if others go that route, more power to them. As the expression goes, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. One one of the rare occasions I was selling an item on eBay, I had two people get into a bidding war and pay $50 more for an item ($350 selling price) then they could have gotten at close to a hundred simultaneous BIN auctions.

I have sold a handful of posters through Dave and each time I got more (after the 25% consignment fee) than I was expecting to get if it was auctioned (based on past prices and factoring in consignment fees)... sometimes MUCH more.  It takes time though... some posters were listed for a year or more.

What's that poster worth un-autographed?  You sure she doesn't just love the actors? 

I guess with Ledger's on there it is at least a bit unique...

Well it ranks as one of her fav movies behind Romeo and Juliet ('68), Queen Margot, Cinema Paradiso, To Kill a Mockingbird and Gladiator. As a poster I figure it's uninteresting to her and not worth much (to buy) either; but signed (and you'll never get Heath Ledger to sign another poster like that), coupled with it being one of her fav movies...and that's why it sold for $585, because someone else thought the same. Me, I have never been an autograph hunter so I don't quite get it, but to each his/her own

A R1950s French poster for KING KONG. It measures 39x52. It needs a bit of TLC and looks a bit faded but it is still a cool poster. I have not seen this particular style before. The high bid was $458.00

It was meant for distribution in France's African colonies (notice the upper left).  I've seen another African/French KK poster that was about half this size before, but that one reused the Belgian artwork.  This is definitely a unique design.

I thought it was a good, if somewhat motley, collection of Belgians. I think Rich did very well to get them together for auction. The Yield To The Night poster was the only one that stuck with me (metaphorically) after leaving the site. David L's bidding ended up doubling the price.

I picked up 4000+ Belgian posters on my buying trip, so I have another 15 auction's worth and all I did was take 312 posters off the top of the stack, which is what I will do all the way through. There is alot of very nice stuff in there. I wish more of you collected foreign titles though. So many of them go under $2 because they aren't American movies. Even UK titles in some cases were surprisingly low.

there are only one copy of each however, except for some stuff I have coming in from elsewhere, so sadly, I don't have another Blonde Sinner. They really are just one of each, so it was 4000+ individual titles, but clearly there is lots of great stuff.. and it will all be starting at just 99 cents each!!

It looks to me the winner put in one early large (ultimately successful) bid, and Dave put in numerous (lower) bids that auto incremented the minimum bid above it back to the winner.

Thanks for explaining. Our bid history works differently, showing all bids, and the resulting high bidder.

Bruce, you are seeing the whole history in that segment shown, but not the whole history as it wasn't pertinent to conversation, although anyone is welcome to examine the whole history by going to my Weekly News page, searching in the Google box for Blonde Sinner & going through the links.

Rocksuperstar bid $155 and the other bidder's proxy went to $156 (the next increment), then Dave bid $211 and the other bidder's proxy went to $212, again Dave bid, to $255 and again the other bidder's proxy went to $256 etc etc.

It's one of the many ways bid history can be shown. Does everyone need to do things the way you do them?

Seller ended early this listing, so probably received an off-ebay offer he could not refuse. Incredible 3 sheet for Bring 'em back alive

I thought it was strange that fold lines were not very noticeable and it seems to be in great condition for a poster this vintage...
The size can be an error of the seller (I remember someone purchasing a one sheet listed as a 3 sheet not long ago ;))
I had it on my watch list (just to try my luck seconds before it ended)... eyeroll

That could have probably happened. The poster is amazing, but I I wasn't going to bid much. Guess if the auction had not been cancelled, it would have received some attention from big bidders.
Anyway, wouldn't be the first jungle poster we both bid on Rich  ;)

ps: did you get a copy of that Dusturan? The same seller had a few more that went way cheaper than what I paid mine...

Just noticed this post,it`s because I`m trying to keep up with the Obama health thing..

Mel,It seems you made an error when you credited Jeff with x-raying the obvious fake Goldfinger poster.
I`t was 50`s who posted the image analysis,and it was the site itself that closed down,the image might not have been removed.

Anyhow`s carry on gents..I`m only 3 hours worth of reading behind you lot...back to the OB thread..

I put mels goldfinger poster image to a free website that checks for digital alterations such as photoshopping alterations and it highlights those areas. Sort of a forensics tool. It was rather impressive. I posted a link to the analysis page, while Jeff linked to the actual image. Not sure why Mel insinuates the image was conveniently removed for some seemingly nefarious purpose... The site (http://errorlevelanalysis.com/permalink/a00f1f9/) is not owned by either of us of course, and the site advises the reasons it is no longer available. Mel, you are throwing around more unfounded accusations, and if you didn't notice this detail you should take a look at the post(s) before sprouting off... I thought lawyers had better basic investigative skills than this, like reading some posts, before putting up the guilty card

In any event IMHO it is a pretty cool faker (updated with original title):

Presumably me.

What would make me happy would be apologizing when making an accusation of someone that turns out to be false, especially after doing negligible checking first.

But what makes me laugh (somewhat), is that Mel after having done no basic checking of facts and leveling the false accusation, the following was posted yesterday by said person:

We have the best buyers there are. If any of you have any "better" modern posters to consign, why not bundle them up (super-carefully) and send them our way? That way, it will be YOU who is quietly chuckling next time when the boys get together and are amazed at the high prices.

That's Plan A. Plan B would be to list them on eBay or anywhere else at fixed prices and watch them sit and sit and sit, and maybe make a sale every week or two.

You pick. Of course, this is only if you want to sell them. Personally, I think many of them will go quite a bit higher still (to the point where people will look back nostalgically at some of Dave L.'s 2012 prices!)

I think there are legitimately more collectors out there who have found movie posters.  The news of big auction sales helps.  Then there's the advertising that Bruce, Rich and now Sean do with the auctions.  And, there's the cool factor of having original movie posters.  That's what's driving the prices, and that's good.  Not good for buying, but good for the hobby as a whole.

It will be perceived as not good for buying as the prices will (may) be driven up due to demand and 'old collectors' will start moaning about the good old days when posters cost [insert value here] - but then again their own collection increases in value exponentially and unless you intend to be buried with it then that can't be all bad.

Absolutely agree with the statement good for the hobby as a whole.

In this case I think ebay has had a much greater influence than the dedicated poster auctioneers. Heaps of buyers pick up on posters from a simple keyword search. I have sold plenty to dog lovers, car lovers, truck lovers, martial arts lovers etc etc etc. They buy one because it has an image they like, then next thing they've got the bug!
But no matter where it's generated, the awareness is great!  :D

The season as a whole (minus the last episode) was fine. But the last episode was a cop out. If a group of writers wants to build this complex maze of interweaving stories that get more and more confusing as time goes on, with plot twists and random bits and pieces of answers (which of course only ask more questions) throughout seven years, great. But you damn well better at least answer those questions at the end. Trying to say "it's up to each person to come up with their own answers" is just a load of bullshit. Anyone can come up with craqzy stories that make no sense. But a good storyteller will be able to tie everything together in the end. And that, IMHO, they failed to deliver.

The season as a whole (minus the last episode) was fine. But the last episode was a cop out. If a group of writers wants to build this complex maze of interweaving stories that get more and more confusing as time goes on, with plot twists and random bits and pieces of answers (which of course only ask more questions) throughout seven years, great. But you damn well better at least answer those questions at the end. Trying to say "it's up to each person to come up with their own answers" is just a load of bullshit. Anyone can come up with craqzy stories that make no sense. But a good storyteller will be able to tie everything together in the end. And that, IMHO, they failed to deliver.

I think that the season started OK, but steadily devolved until it reached the ultimate middle finger of C.J. Cregg delivering the lines 'Every question I answer will simply lead to another question. So you should just rest and be grateful that you are alive.'  That is how little the creators of Lost thought of the audience...

True. I can understand leaving a few things open for interpretation. Like...did they all die in the original plane crash and was the Island just some shared life-after-death experience and none of it really happened? That's fine, since it gives people something to think about and argue over.

But all of the actual details and components to the story could (should) have been answered.

One of the main reasons why so many people loved the show and watched every episode was for the quest for answers. Every week, we felt closer and closer to The Truth. But in the end, nothing. Which IMHO was just a slap in the face to all of the loyal fans.

Might have been used in Latvia but with the Berlin printer and all in German, it sure seems like it qualifies as a country of origin item - and for "Metropolis" that's probably worth a grand.  Visually appealing as well.

Wow, and here I was feeling bad when we "only" got $961 for this poster not long ago. The price is only $36 more, but thanks to his outrageous 22% seller's premium for a quality item like this vs. our 10%, his consignor will net only $721, while ours will pocket $864 - nearly 20% better.

Not sure if we can do that on more mainstream items as obviously Bruce still has 10x our number of registered users. We've got a Raiders one-sheet this week as does he, so there will be at least one more opportunity to compare: http://movieposterexchange.com/buy.php?list=weekly&toshow=25&order_by=auction_bid_price&order_type=DESC (http://movieposterexchange.com/buy.php?list=weekly&toshow=25&order_by=auction_bid_price&order_type=DESC)

Not surprised. We actually had a dealer offer us $1200 for the one we had at auction if we would close the auction early.

And of course if someone would like to test one out for a fixed price of $2K on MoviePosterExchange.com you will still net $1800 on the sale, so please feel free to list.

Rarity/scarcity. As with most (all?) collectibles, the market value doesn't always equate to the visual appeal/difference in the item versus others. Just look at coins, where a tiny minting flaw can make one specimen worth 100x the price of a 'perfect' version.

Steve, the divide between what modern posters will sell for and what classic posters will sell for (though not top top titles) is only going to get larger.. Older collectors are leaving.. newer collectors are younger.. generational aspects of nostalgia will guide the market

I guess your right, to me i love the old scifi and monster titles paper the most, like Taruntula and the black scorpian, to me i guess those should bring more, but in todays world, your right..

Bruce, i love emovieposter and have found some of my gems on that site, and well just bid on a few more, so guess i am loyal or just dumb..

You should continue to bid! Where else can you steal posters right under the eyes of dealers and collectors who would gladly pay far more for the same poster, if ONLY we didn't have such "restrictive credit terms" (i.e. require buyers to pay for their purchases)?

And frankly Bruce those terms are starting to really p*ss me off - the sooner you let me buy posters without paying then that will be the day I start buying more posters from you.

Then try those other guys. You get months to pay, and if the value has risen, you can claim it, and if it hasn't, you can walk away and they re-auction it (which explains why so many posters come back over and over and over and over and over and over and over)

I agree. I love the whole 'bidding' part, but Bruce really needs to work on the part where he requires people to pay for items. Where's the fun in that?

Was anyone watching the bidding at emovie tonight?  A lot of bidding right at the closing, and a lot of cool gear there tonight. 

I'm stoked that I picked up a few.

Death Wish.  A Charles Bronson classic. 

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/30x40_death_wish_HP01090_L.jpg)

My first B0 - Godzilla (1998)

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/japanese_b0_godzilla_HP00899_L.jpg)

Cruising (1980)

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/30x40_cruising_HP01176_L.jpg)

The Sender (1982)  Looks like a pretty cool movie.

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/30x40_sender_JC04796_L.jpg)

Bidding really took off on the Machine Gun Kelly (1958) at the last few minutes.  Pretty darn cool movie with Charles Bronson in his younger years.

MACHINE GUN KELLY and DEATH WISH are both great Bronson pieces.

Well I mean the seller, or whatever you want to call him.
I had understood I would receive a reserve valuation figure but never did. The prices, with the possible exception of one lot, are out of my reach based on the prices they were asking on the website, but i was considering an offer on the third lot (and would have loved the lobby cards too)

Thanks, Brude.  I'll have to check out The Sender sometime.  Unfortunately I didn't win the Machine Gun Kelly.  I was watching it, but never placed a bid.  I was just commenting on how the bidding for it kinda fired up right in the last few minutes, and looking back on it, I kinda regret not bidding on it.  It seemed like there were more than the usual amount of snipers (5 minute snipers) at emovieposter last night, as the prices usually don't sit that low all week on most items and then have a lot of bidding in the final minutes, but I am stoked that I won a few.

Re: the Godzilla B0, sorry to hear about your mission that resulted in your absence to bid.  I was pretty happy to win it, but if it's an important one to you, send me a PM, and I'll ship it to you.

For eBay can't understand why you guys aren't using Gavelsnipe.com.  Totally free, easy to use. I used to pay $6 a month for another sniping service.

Put in a low bid through Ebay in the middle of the auction to show the seller there is some interest in it, then use Gavelsnipe to place your "real" bid.

These, the rolled Man Who Fell to Earth 1sheets, and a bunch others were sold recently a Bonhams IIRC. If you want one I would wait a bit. You'll have to look it up but I think there were lots of copies of both all sold in the same lot. The seller looks to be dumping them one after the other and will likely drive down the price.

Of them all, I had to get Akira. I'm not a condition nut, but my copy needed to be upgraded.  I love the Nippon, and I'm glad I already have one. Same goes for the James Bond (you too!).  The alien went for too much given its condition.  The Grenoble was well-priced in the end.  If I was not running for Akira, I would have gone after Monoke - that's a wonderful poster.  Totoro was actually a bit underpriced.

Yes, there's a new class of bidders after the Japanese material, to be sure.

Even when some posters go high, there are always some great deals on good posters at eMoviePoster.com! It is usually those who are very dedicated and look over ALL the items very carefully, searching for those that "fall between the cracks" that get rewarded.

I still haven't seen Akira.  I had so many $1,000s offers for my 2 Stouts I feel I should give it a try.  I even own the blu-ray (a friend of mine gave it to me a year ago and asked me to watch it immediately).  Not a big fan of anime, though.

That's true the B1's seem to be pretty beat up...

What about that Turkish Jaws poster?  I always thought it under performed for its unique design...
For $183..that's more than double for what it usually sells..

Quick Story....

When I was backpacking through turkey, morocco etc...in 2006..I ran across a little hole in the wall poster shop in Istanbul..a short walk from Sultanahmet (hagia sophia, blue mosque location)
I bought several folded copies of this Turkish Jaws poster and a bunch of Bruce Lee posters for $5 bucks a pop..there were stacks and stacks of turkish crap so finally gave up after 3 hours ....I foolishly skipped a bunch of later bond posters too... :'(
I backpacked with them for the next 2 months through north africa and now they are in my closet...I was always a little curious to see these posters under perform time and again...

There is reason to hope

When something sells at the same price 15-20 times in a row, at what point does it change from under performing to performing as expected?

Oh I forgot..thanks Sean for those 5 Virgins of bali lobbies I got from your auction..!!
Rare and lovely..

As for jaws..well as the us one sheet was moving up in $$..I was hoping it would drag
The turk jaws along on its coattails..for years the turk poster sold for $50-100
Then bruce sold one last one sold for $343..so I was wondering what the next one would sell for
I forgot that my copies were rolled as well..
99.9999% of my collecting area is before 1945 so..the under performing versus performing as expected is something that is tougher to pinpoint..especially when many of my pieces have no previous sales record readily available..
however since these jaws/lee posters were literally the only modern posters I ever bought..mostly as a souvenir...the only thing I can add is that its nice to see that a great little poster did well

It's true. I've seen some rare posters get through cheaply, and some common posters go through the roof.  I would say the dedication is one of years of looking, buying and selling, so that you have a real feel for where the market is.  That Akira B1 has not turned up otherwise for about 10 years, and the last time it turned up is the copy I have.  That's a rare poster, and considering that, the couple hundred I paid is just fine.  I also picked up a rolled advance for Clan of the Cave Bear that is equally rare if not rarer, that went for relatively cheap.  There are buys to be had. But, they are fewer and fewer I fear!

I just bought one from an Italian vendor for $30, so I either got a steal of a deal, or this is another example of emovie inflation and this guy severely overpaid.  I'll give someone a discount and only ask $250 for my copy when it arrives if anyone wants to pay it.  ;D

It shows great art. If you got it in the same or better condition, then you got yours for a great price.  For someone who loves this art, the price is not bad imo and it is a big poster to boot. Would look great on a wall

  Okay, so my "hiatus" is over.   ;D  I made it 8 months without a single poster purchase.  Thank goodness Holiday has an easy password reset option.  I could not remember my forum password to save my life.

  Bruce should be happy about that PF sales price.  It is a an instance of where his preview helped an existing auction.  I was looking to jump back in this month, and of all the posters I saw PF Lucky Strikes was my preferred choice.  Until the preview, I was just going to wait until the Mini/Major.

   I have a couple more in my sights at the mini/major and then I can go on a new hiatus.   wynk

Thanks Brian. As to deleting comparisons, here is what I wrote in a different thread:

"As to comparisons [between our website and others], I think they are like comparing apples to oranges. Each company is different, and I leave it to others to decide who they choose to deal with. I am spending all my time on making eMoviePoster.com the very best it can be, and I am constantly analyzing the company, trying to find ANYTHING about it that can be improved in any way, and of course that is why I constantly solicit feedback from our users.

The only comparison that matters to me is comparing the eMoviePoster.com of three years ago (and five years ago,and ten years ago) to the eMoviePoster.com of today, and I see a ton of ways that we are now even better than we used to be (and I think we used to be pretty darn good!). I very much hope I will feel the same way three years from NOW!"

Please do delete them. As long as you do what you are supposed to do, that is all that matters. But we have lots of new buyers every time, and we need to present all the answers they may need THERE, so they don't call and ask us questions.

You are not saying you can't find info you need buried in there, just that you don't need ANY of it (and you shouldn't, having ordered many times) so please just delete them and they won't be painful.

Am I missing something?

Yes, I believe you are.

The issue is not that you are trying to pass along all the information. The issue is HOW you are passing it along, and the presentation.

Right now, it's just a wall of text that is so overwhelming with random information that it's impractical for anyone to actually read it. Most people, new customers or old, will not spend the time to try and break it apart to see what is of interest or relevance to them - they will just ignore it. I understand the need for trying to limit phone calls and emails and to address as much as possible in the FAQs and email updates, but you yourself admitted to people completely ignoring them in the past when the answer was clearly outlined multiple times in multiple sources (ie: the thread about shipping policies). I imagine your issue(s) stem not from the information not being readily available, but from it not being easily perceivable.

Additionally, many of your emails follow the same generic template. "We have over 999 posters for less than $1!...." followed by dozens of links. Any useful tidbits of new information gets swallowed up. For example, your last email (which I just read since we're talking about it) had a lot of very relevant pieces of information that I'm sure MANY if not ALL of your customers would be anxious to hear. Specifically:
1) New Website Server Update
2) Previews of the Mini/Majors
3) Personal Hotline
Granted most of us are already aware of these since we read them online already here. But I have to assume that 95%+ of your customers never come to this forum or others you may advertise on. So why make it more difficult for your existing customers to readily see the information?

My point is, I think you need to heavily revamp your email marketing system. Break it up by section. Put emphasis on the items that actually mean anything. But the repetitive generic marketing information at the bottom. Don't just use walls of text, through some (small) pictures in there. Make the email look more like a page of information then a term paper. Figure out a handful (3-5) of points or updates that are unique and important to that email that you want to get across and focus on them.

If people aren't reading your emails, they are just a waste for everyone - including you. The more you make them enjoyable to read, the more people will read them.

Yes, I believe you are.

The issue is not that you are trying to pass along all the information. The issue is HOW you are passing it along, and the presentation.

Right now, it's just a wall of text that is so overwhelming with random information that it's impractical for anyone to actually read it. Most people, new customers or old, will not spend the time to try and break it apart to see what is of interest or relevance to them - they will just ignore it. I understand the need for trying to limit phone calls and emails and to address as much as possible in the FAQs and email updates, but you yourself admitted to people completely ignoring them in the past when the answer was clearly outlined multiple times in multiple sources (ie: the thread about shipping policies). I imagine your issue(s) stem not from the information not being readily available, but from it not being easily perceivable.

Additionally, many of your emails follow the same generic template. "We have over 999 posters for less than $1!...." followed by dozens of links. Any useful tidbits of new information gets swallowed up. For example, your last email (which I just read since we're talking about it) had a lot of very relevant pieces of information that I'm sure MANY if not ALL of your customers would be anxious to hear. Specifically:
1) New Website Server Update
2) Previews of the Mini/Majors
3) Personal Hotline
Granted most of us are already aware of these since we read them online already here. But I have to assume that 95%+ of your customers never come to this forum or others you may advertise on. So why make it more difficult for your existing customers to readily see the information?

Thanks Brian. As to deleting comparisons, here is what I wrote in a different thread:

"As to comparisons [between our website and others], I think they are like comparing apples to oranges. Each company is different, and I leave it to others to decide who they choose to deal with. I am spending all my time on making eMoviePoster.com the very best it can be, and I am constantly analyzing the company, trying to find ANYTHING about it that can be improved in any way, and of course that is why I constantly solicit feedback from our users.

The only comparison that matters to me is comparing the eMoviePoster.com of three years ago (and five years ago,and ten years ago) to the eMoviePoster.com of today, and I see a ton of ways that we are now even better than we used to be (and I think we used to be pretty darn good!). I very much hope I will feel the same way three years from NOW!"

I have a few small suggestions for your site unless there is a fix I don't know about but it concerns my Watch List and my Want List.  Why do I have to log in twice to view them?  When I go to the homepage, I log in and then from there try to go to my Want List but it takes me to another log in page?  Am I doing something wrong there?  Another would be to maybe add links to the Watch List to a top bar or something so it can be accessed no matter where in the website you are?  Last, I would love to be able to have my Watch List go at least a day beyond the auction close times so I can look at final prices in one lump.  I don't know if that's difficult considering how many auctions you have going but... OVERALL I love your site and absolutely love just browsing all the cool cool stuff!  Thanks for what you do!

Please do delete them. As long as you do what you are supposed to do, that is all that matters. But we have lots of new buyers every time, and we need to present all the answers they may need THERE, so they don't call and ask us questions.

You are not saying you can't find info you need buried in there, just that you don't need ANY of it (and you shouldn't, having ordered many times) so please just delete them and they won't be painful.

There is nothing I've seen comparable to the length of these club messages (https://www.emovieposter.com/club/email.php?message_number=607). There is good reason why, and that is that there are much more effective ways to communicate than like this on the web. Such a webpage is simply information overload.

First time I saw (as a newb) I was astounded not knowing where to start and thinking, what is this! To be honest it looks like the business must be a chaotic mess as a near first impression, which is a shame because many of us longer term customers know that in fact the opposite is true - a very well run efficient business. The newsletter to me looks unprofessional and lets down the rest of the site.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a tip from Dummies.com (http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/creating-an-effective-web-marketing-newsletter.html) regarding web newsletters:

Keep it short. Limit the Subject line to 50 characters, including spaces. Restrict most newsletters to no more than two scrolling pages.

Your newsletter is for me over 12 screen fulls.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
People have very short attention spans on the net. That's the way it is. Web User Experience Guidelines (http://pioneerit.blogspot.com.au/2009/03/five-web-ux-guidelines.html)

3.) Your user is not going read everything you show them. You have three seconds (used to be five) to give them a reason to read for another three seconds. And so on. You screw up those three seconds? Good bye.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Best thing I suggest that can easily and quickly be done is at the top of your newsletter provide a list of links to all the sections below it. Like a table of contents. People can then easily see what the contents of your newsletter is go to the section easily by clicking a link.
Sarcasm alert: table of contents and hyperlinks were invented long ago and there to be used.
If not sure how to link to a section in a web page, anchors (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp) are what you need.

Having red color to highlight the sections is great, but using red elsewhere in the newsletter waters done the effect losing any real effectiveness.

If people need answers as you mention, best thing to do is to create a FAQ page (http://www.noupe.com/how-tos/faq-pages-best-practices-examples.html) or include it in the newsletter if you must, which is a list of questions linking to the answers. FAQ's have been around for yonks and serve this purpose very effectively. Side note, emovieposter 'FaQ' section is next to useless, probably the worst I have seen -  my living is managing teams who build and maintain large corporate websites. Just saying, there is room for improvement, like any site ;) A better user experience, means customers can easily find the information they are looking and makes decisions to purchase quicker and easier, which is all good for ones online business.

Can you create a condensed version of what you just posted which follows the very guidelines it recommends?

It contains WAY too much info. I don't mean to be "smart" but if you can condense THIS in the way you want me to condense MY messages, then that will let me visually see what you mean.

People (myself included) are trying to offer you constructive criticism and suggestion on how to improve your business. You did actually request and solicit feedback earlier in the thread. Now that you are getting some, which all has been polite and positive, you are being confrontational and flippant. If you don't like the suggestions and chose to ignore them, that's fine - it's your business and your decision. But if you don't want to hear them, you shouldn't ask for them in the first place. :)

You do appear to be trying to be smart, but unfortunately failed, pretty much in fact like the layout of your newsletters. If I am correct that you are trying to be smart, then I would interpret you as lying.

What I wrote discusses one subject. Your newsletter comprise many different subjects. With many subjects, for ease of readability, there is the need for an index and clearly differentiated headings, all of which are not required for a one subject post.

Your newsletter is 12 screenfuls deep (on my computer). The bottom of one screen is called the 'fold' in web design. This graph shows the problem of having 90% of your content below the fold (http://www.thewebshowroom.com.au/blog/above-the-fold-v-below-the-fold-in-website-design/) (hardly anyone reads it, as we are saying):

(http://www.thewebshowroom.com.au/uploads/41050/ufiles/blog/graph1.jpg)

This is why an index up top is important for you - people will read that.

It's a shame (for you) it appears you don't want take on board/appreciate your customers suggestions based on their experiences using your site, especially when some of us are highly skilled in this field and are giving you free advice. I would say many of us want to help you make your site an even better site than it already is.

You obviously don't know that websites and businesses over the past 5 years are now more focussed than ever at putting the customer at the center of all decision making. Without the customers they fail to survive. Understanding customers is what many businesses strive to understand. Well, I won't go on, it's falling on deaf ears.

Your loss.

No hope  :-\

While I do appreciate Steve's expert advice, I believe there is a method to Bruce's 'madness.'

I might be one of the few, but I enjoy Bruce's rambling emails.
True, I don't read them in total, but I usually go directly to the site.
They serve as an effective reminder.

What I like most about them -- and the site -- is the old-fashioned feel.
They harken back to a time before corporate, slick-looking sites became the order of the day.
It makes them comfortable -- like an old pair of sneakers.
They are distinct and reflect Bruce's collector mentality as well.

I'll bet that if Bruce changed his style, most of us would regret it and soon be pining for the good old days --
"Remember Bruce's emails?  They were the shit back in the day, weren't they?"

Just my two cents.
 cheers

I truly am sorry for the first flippant remark. It DID strike me as odd that you offered a long page of criticism over my wordiness.

But I am absolutely serious. Can either of you condense down the long messages you posted without losing most of the content?

And if you do it through links, surely you know few people ever click on those links, so that is counter-productive.

If the long emails caused people to make mistakes, or to not order, I would see a need to change them.

But since we are not having mistakes, and since we are having record sales, it seems to me that this is a non-issue for most people (some read every word, some skim them over and read what applies/interests them) and truly seems that very few people have a real PROBLEM with them.

I COULD start a list of "people bothered by long emails" and send those people a "super-streamlined" version. Would you want that?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: 50s on August 28, 2012, 12:36:39 PM
The main issue for me is not about condensing it down or reducing the wordiness it is about making it more readable, being able to easily find the information in such a large document, rather than going ugh and not reading it. What I would like to see is an index and all the sections clearly seperated so it would be much easier to read. The idea is click a link, the page auto scrolls down to the relevant section. The links are your primary tool to get people to go below the 'fold'.

I am sure even if the business was running very well, you wouldn't rest on your laurels and not improve the business. It is great it is sounding like it is running optimally. I will just continue to not read the majority of the newsletter and rely on you having to repeat the information in this forum instead.

Thanks very much for finding a solution that works for you. While I may be not doing things optimally by following my own plan as opposed to what you suggest, ultimately, this is my business, and I weigh up all advice I am given, but the final decision as to what I do rests with me. If anyone solely wants to give advice ONLY if it is followed, then they should not offer it to me, because I can't make that promise!

Ha-ha for once Ted and I agree on something!

The cartoons, the logo, the information overload are buried deep in the DNA of EMP.  Personally, I appreciate the more professional marketing of EMP's competitors but you can't argue with success and it does show true enthusiasm for the hobby.

I am not offering advice only if it is to be followed, not sure how this may have been misinterpreted ???. Following request for suggestions, I have offered suggestions, which may be taken or left. Considering customers suggestions of course is part of the process of improving ones business.

I will just continue to interact with the site as I have been doing, and look forward to any future enhancements.

Post by: Bruce on August 29, 2012, 12:02:12 AM
Stones, I asked Phil to write a reply to you, and here's what he had to say:

"First, on your "double logging in" problem, are you first going to this page to log in: http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Logon.taf ? If you are, know that we actually have TWO eMoviePoster.com websites: one beginning with WWW and one beginning with AUCTIONS. Due to technical reasons, when you log into our site at "www.emovieposter.com", you can automatically be logged into both sites, BUT when you log in to our site at "auctions.emovieposter.com", it is actually a third party auction software site and it will NOT automatically log you into both sites. There is currently no way around this, EXCEPT to always log in from the main "www.emovieposter.com" site. There are two main ways to do this:
1) Go to our homepage (http://www.emovieposter.com/) and in our menu below our logo click on "Members" and log in there.
2) Go to any auction gallery (such as http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html) and use the log in box found at the top of that page.

TIP! If the above doesn't work the way I described, it is surely because of a setting on your account. To check it, go to your Member Preferences page at https://www.emovieposter.com/members/preferences.php , and then make sure the box labeled "Automatically log in to my Auction account when I log in to my eMoviePoster.com Member account" is checked and then click the "Update" button to save that change. And while you are there, look over the option options as you may find something of interest there.

As to Watch List/Want List....

You should be able to see closed items on your Watch List (if you are actually asking about your Want List, I will cover that below). When you go to the Watch List (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/WatchList.taf), there is an option at right called "Filter" and it gives you options for "Open/Closed/All". Check "Closed" or "All" and then click the "Show" button to see the Watch List items that have closed.

If you mean a way to see your Want List after the items have closed, that is currently not possible due to some programming complications. We have a major programming project that must be completed before we could include Want List results for closed items. We've made a note about this feature request and will get it added once the programming part is in place (but know that will surely be several months from now as we have a lot of irons in the fire!).

Incidentally, we've been hesitate to supply lots of "Watch List" links on the site because of the aforementioned www. vs auctions. log in complication. But we will definitely keep an eye out for new things we can do to improve the site experience. Thanks so much for your helpful input!

Thanks,

An observation, I see Bruce and Phil talk similar. The use of 'but know' to start a sentence/breath (rather than mid sentence) is very unusual, for example on this forum only Bruce does this (http://www.google.com.au/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&site=&source=hp&q=site%3Amovieposterforum.com+%22but+know%22&oq=site%3Amovieposterforum.com+%22but+know%22&gs_l=hp.3...9535.22219.0.22601.36.36.0.0.0.0.523.6193.15j3j16j0j1j1.36.0...0.0...1c.2H8F1scvhrc). Obviously Phil and Bruce being close work colleagues talk similar.

This is interesting information and would be great to have it on the website somewhere to be easily found.

I had nothing to do with what Phil wrote above (other than cutting and pasting it) so if he writes "like me" that must be due to his reading what I have written the past 14 years he has worked with me, and either consciously or unconsciously imitating "my style". But know that I will ask him to please develop a style all his own!

They tried to sell it in one shot awhile back, I did the math on what they sent pictures of(folders only so no clue if one sheets, inserts, lobbies, rerelease etc) and the asking price would have been too close to retail based on the quick math I did, so it wasnt in the cards, but I sure would have liked to have gotten it.

they tried to sell part of it after they had already sold quite a bit because they don't really deal in movie posters
I asked for more information from their sale as did others, but the information provided was scant and diffifcult to place with a buyer at $150k

No, and that's why I was so surprised. Even my wife said something about it since she recognized your (stolen) username. Well, hopefully this means the one I do have is going up in value ;).

All in all, I think many of the posters went for top dollar, and in some cases over value.

Post by: eatbrie on September 02, 2012, 06:38:52 PM
In terms of quality and rarity, it was a top notch sale.

In terms of $$$, I don't think an exclusive sale at Bruce Hershenson's is the best place to buy SW and Eastwood posters at a good price.  I think we can all agree that SW and Eastwood pieces can be found for much cheaper elsewhere.  Maybe not today, but sometimes in the future.

Again, this hobby is about patience.

I've had my share of I want it so I paid for it for that much but that price seems a little too high.

Can anyone tell me it went for that price? Anything special about the poster? Does it take you to an alternate universe when you touch it?

The first advance mylars - distributed in theaters in late 1976 - sell for $$$ when they are in good condition.  Not too many pristine examples left, many were folded and/or the mylar subsequently has separated.

It's close to what this one sold earlier this year at H:

More from the Star Wars poster book about this "First Advance Mylar":

- It was the second Star Wars poster printed (Chaykin was sold in summer 1976 at sci-fi conventions)

- It was the first one distributed to theaters (Christmas 1976)

- The designers chose the Helvetica Black font after Lucas told them to create a "fascist" logo

- The "W" was changed for the second "Coming to Your Galaxy" advance, which was printed on regular paper

- Only a few hundred were printed since few theaters expressed interest in an "unknown space fantasy."

These posters do generally sell well and high. Condition means a lot, and as Mel mentioned earlier, many have suffered separation issues. I picked up one about 6+ months ago for $650 that is in very nice condition. Some minor mylar issues (a couple lines going across part of it) but overall I would say "very good+". I am fairly certain the EMP one is in slightly better condition, but not (imho) twice-the-price better condition. Not only are they rare, but they were the first official theatrical movie poster for Star Wars and has the unusual "W", making it a neat piece to have. The second non-mylar teaser (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2676216) is actually rarer, and I was tempted to pick it up. But the condition was only so-so, and I decided to wait. Kind of surprised it went for only $365.

I'm surprised EMP allows names to be recycled. It's one thing if someone grabs something common like "James" or "Bob" or "ILUVPOSTERS", but "eatbrie"? That was clearly taken to assume Thierry's persona. I mean come on - who else actually eats brie?

It would be next to impossible to enforce this, without making name changes require approval, which seems silly.

How about not letting people change their username. Is there a legitimate reason for this anyway? Outside of changing the default one. If you did continue to allow it, you could blacklist prior ones from being reused.

Allowing people to keep changing their usernames or letting people pretend to be other people just seems kind of shady and without honest purpose.

Because it was folded.  I own 2 rolled posters of the dated version, and 1 rolled of the undated, but I always wanted 2 copies of the undated.  I was going to bid on it without looking, when I realized it was folded and passed.  So it might explain why it didn't go for more.

Anyway, WHO THE FUCK SPENDS $2000 ON STARFALL?  I like Ohrai, and the condition was awesome, but WHAT THE FUCK?

My thoughts exactly.  I will always be kickin' myself for not clicking the buy-it-now when Vilmur put one up for $75.  It had a small tear, so I balked and it was gone in minutes.

Not only did the dated Revenge go for twice what I would have expected, but it went for over twice the undated version. Granted the latter had some condition issues, but I've seen far worse ones go for hundreds more.

I, for one, would take a rolled dated version of this poster over a folded undated any day of the week.  Oh wait, I did.

Especially because of the poster's design and color.  Folds would be in the way, more so than for other posters.

On the rare occasions Bruce has anything I like I always dread getting excited about the possibility of winning something, because usually those nutty bidders that go three times over value always ruin it, and my excitement is shattered...  :-[ 

I'll take a guess and say the majority of people determine a poster's value from Bruce's database. That means every time there's a new high sellers feel justified in raising their prices. In many ways the whole market gets pulled along by the might of EMP. Which doesn't bother me much!  8)

Post by: Bruce on September 03, 2012, 08:39:24 AM
I see a paradox here. None of you seem to question why a Universal horror poster should be "worth" hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet only a very few have ever actually sold for that amount, and it is to the same tiny group of people. Yet when a $300 poster rises to $500, the buyer must be a fool, and if a year later it goes to $750, that is the height of insanity!

Back in the late 1980s I attended one of the early animation auctions, and there were old-timers in the audience who could not believe how "stupid" the buyers were. Cels from TV shows like The Flintstones with good images of the top stars were selling for $50 and the old-timers were muttering "Those are $5 cels". Meanwhile cels from completely forgotten 1930s cartoons that showed forgotten minor characters were selling for $20, and the old-timers were muttering "Those are super-rare and should be $50 cels".

Times change. Tastes change. People forget who Franchot Tone or Rosalind Russell were (along with hundreds of others) and they will pay more for Clint Eastwood posters from his best films. Just because a poster WAS $25 for a number of years doesn't mean it can't now rise to $50 or $100 or much more, and just because another poster used to be $1,250 for a number of years doesn't mean it can't fall back to $750 or $500 or even lower.

I think it is easy to say that with the quality od CE and SW posters more deep pockets showed wanting to take something home. The same fafdm insert I bought from Bruce in August @ 200 went for 290 in the signature. If some of these had been hurried in a regular Tuesday auction there wouldn't have been the competition.

There were 2 Swedish Bardots at Bruce's auctions tonight.  I won one, and lost the other to Posteritati.  Sigh.  My consolation price is that I made those thieves pay $200 more on the one I lost.  Personally, I think it's wrong of Bruce to sell stuff to these people, knowing very well that they will resell it for 5x the price to some gullible collector who doesn't know better.

Once again I missed out to two posters Tuesday I really wanted, I went above what I'd normally spend and even went above the usual selling price that I could find around the internet, but got reamed by the nutters once again.  On the bright side I finally managed to acquire a backed domestic Fearless Vampire Killers that I've been looking for about a year, and at a lower price than both Emovie and Heritage has sold un-backed ones in the last five years, so that made up for it and I felt like I got a good deal.  One thing I can say every-time I get overbid by the endless pocket bidders I usually end up finding the same poster or something else I've been looking for at a really good deal a day or two later so at least it helps to sooth the sting, and also makes me glad that I didn't get caught overpaying on the ones I got snubbed on.

Another real possibility is that a dealer is bidding for a top customer who lives near them. They give the money to the dealer who pays, gets the item, and the customer picks it up. A service a lot of top dealers offer for their best customers.

That's a very nice story, Bruce, but I think it's bull.  Sorry.  Posteritati bids on way too many of your items to pass them on to their adoring clients.  No, they bid to rape innocent collectors.

I wouldn't exactly call it rape.  But, I do not think it is too much of a stretch to think that dealers run up auction prices to justify prices they are already charging or plan to charge for a piece they have in their possession.  I don't doubt that some dealers get items to sell from emovieposter.com, but I do not think the majority are riding that horse.

not sure if reselling is big, but emoives auctions are def. setting the market,  don't quote me, but there is a seller on the bay selling his linen backed Aussie Halloween onesheet for over a grand now. I am pretty sure this is the same seller that had it for 700 back over the summer, now that Bruce's almost sold for a grand, he is back selling his for around that price..

I use posteratati as one of my guideposts.  If Sam is bidding against me, and drops out, I figure I am at fair market value.  Usually works well when checking the price databases.

Don't be too quick to judge like that.  They only stay in if they can win it for a steal price.  I have seen them quit very low on the value scale.  I'd say when they drop out, you're at 25% of the fmv.

I guess you are joking, but if not... auctions to my understanding historically have been frequented mostly by sellers. They take their purchases to their bricks and mortar shop and advertise, have sales people and pay High Street rent. They provide a sevice not possible by virtual sellers and need to make enough to cover those costs. What's the big deal with a seemingly large markup on an auction item, no one has to buy it. It is great to be able to go into a store and be shown posters. I pay more for the certainty I know exactly what I am getting and that the seller will be there tomorrow. If the store has a good reputation, it will stay in business.

It IS going to look incredible on the new owner's wall, in spite of the restoration. And where do you get another?

I definitely didn't mean to imply it was you Bruce!  The seller was based out of VA and was a real a-hole.  He backed out of our sale and then tried to blame me somehow!  As for me not getting it from eBay, oh well... you probably would have ended up selling it anyway  ;)

Sorry what I mean to say was $6,000?! - that's enough to make me lose my "Brekfast"!



What's up with that anyways?

Bruce - what is your opinion on the misspelling of "Brekfast" in the border?  Are all the BAT's like that or did the restorer mess up badly?

Hard to see perfectly but it appears to be miss-spelled on the Ebay (pre-restored) version

Last week, a poster showed up on Bruce's site that I really, really wanted. 
I don't have much to spend on paper these days, so I rolled my spare change, sold a few posters and put my money down.
I bid more than I have ever spent on a single poster before, but I wanted this one badly.
I thought I was going to win (wishful thinking), but I was outbid by a well-known dealer.
Yes, I was pretty fucking disappointed.  I had never seen this particular style/size for sale and it had slipped out of my grasp.
Oh, well.  That is the way of the world.  Win some, lose some.

A few days later, I decided to look on Ebay to see if a similar poster had 'miraculously' appeared.
Well, what do you know?  There it was, posted for sale at nearly double the price by the same dealer who outbid me.
Salt in the wound?  Sure.
Pissed?  Of course I am.  But, like I said, 'that is the way of the world. You win some, you lose some.'

Two days later, another poster (from a different film) that I wanted but had never seen for sale before, appeared on Ebay.
It was being offered by a seller whom I had dealt with before. A good guy.
I put up a decent bid, went to work, and was sniped by someone at the last minute.
Pissed?  Of course I am.  But, like I said, 'that is the way of the world. You win some, you lose some.'

But now, I was pretty discouraged.  I had lost two special posters in just a few days.
So, I sent an email to the Ebay seller of the second poster, the one that was sniped out of my grasp.
I asked him if he had another or knew someone who did.
He sent me an email.  No, he didn't have another, but he knew someone who did and he sent me a link to a reputable dealer's site.
There was the poster, in better condition than the one I lost and considerably cheaper than the sniper's winning bid.

The sale is complete and the poster is en route.

While this post might sound like 'sour grapes,' it really isn't meant that way.
Dealers have every right to purchase their wares and mark them up as they see fit. 
If it is their business, it is their business.

I'm not about to publicly out the dealer who outbid me and then flipped the poster.  I hope it sits in his inventory without a nibble.
But, when the other poster arrives, I will publicly thank the dealer -- and the seller who directed me to him -- for helping me acquire a gem.

Is there a moral to my rambling?
Probably a few. 
But I can tell you what I have gotten out of it -- some dealers suck and other dealers shine.
So, shun the former and patronize the latter.
 cheers

Something is a-miss with this poster/photo. The pose is too awkward and just too Hustler for Mila to do. I am not saying I know what she does or doesn't do in a photo-shoot but it just looks photoshopped to me.

On the bright side, if the fortunate day arrives that you're able to acquire one similar to the one you missed out on, then it's all the more glorious.

Did anyone see this Apocalypse Now B0, with Marlon Brando?  I was thinking about bidding on it, and if I won, probably would've had it backed, and possibly made a little touch up project for myself.  For various reasons, I decided to pass.  It appears that the reserve was $750, as the second highest bidder only bid $111, and the winning bidder must have bid $750 or more.  Since it's an unicorn, it's not completely shocking that it sold for that price, even considering the damage.

Regarding the Apocalypse Now B0 hammer price, this infamous line comes to mind: "These can be very difficult to find in any condition! A long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale."  As much of a marketing tactic it is, I think it rings true for some items.

This beautiful, first release US OS for the 1943 RKO film, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, went to the high bidder, on Oct 1, who got it for $3827.00.

I did a quick search and the last copy sold by HA, in November 2009, sold for $9560.00 (inc the BP) and Bruce's last recorded sale was in July 2004, for $3501.00.

A fantastic image, for a poster that doesn't seem to show up that frequently.   thumbup

Patience paid, off, it seems. THE INVISIBLE MAN WC, offered for years by Eggbert, finally sold in early August. It was interesting to see this card listed month after month, over the last several years with various prices attached to it.

It had been restored (missing upper left corner, stains, holes) and backed.

It sold (a BIN) for $9750.00

I can only think that it's a new person who loves Star Trek and who has no idea that Heritage is NOT the only source for movie posters.

It took me awhile to realize that what I thought was rare because I did not see it often was not necessarily rare given the many other sources that I was not aware of.

But, in the end, that's just plain ole FUCKING STUPID to spend that money for that poster.  What a retard.  Imagine when he learns in a year or so just how fucked he was.

Even though the stuff was marketed as poorly as possible, with dreadful photos, it was sure to do great. Previously unseen items in mint condition.

It was like selling some guaranteed original Rembrandts at a country auction.

At those prices I don't expect to see them re-auctioned, but what do I know?

Yesterday I had a chance to attend the worst-kept secret auction in the hobby the past month. It was one of the strangest (and longest) auctions I have been to since the discovery of the amazing Latrobe collection back in 2003 (where the style C Bride of Frankenstein featured in the Kirk Hammett thread originated).
What was not known by most people is that this was actually the second time this collection was scheduled to be auctioned.  The original auction was scheduled back in August (see flyer below) and it was pulled by the heirs literally a day before the auction and given to the current auction company.
(http://images.marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com/hi/6/5768/original_auction.jpg)

Yesterday's auction company actually did a mediocre job in getting the word out (the auction was the talk of the French poster fair a couple of weeks ago), but of course when you have a group of around 35 posters and nearly half of them are unique or only second examples known it doesn't take a lot to bring the high bids out. The auction was fairly well attended, though I suspect mostly by area antique dealers. Any thoughts of their being great bargains to be had for the day were dampened about 30 minutes before the auctioneer even got to the movie posters when a piece of original art by James Montgomery Flagg which several art people had suggested to be might bring around $1500 at auction hammered at $4000. It was the beginning of what was to be a familiar theme throughout the day.
The first actual movie poster up was the Hirschfeld style Wizard of Oz one-sheet.  Before yesterday, most people would peg this poster's retail price as being somewhere in the $12-18K range, but it has been several years since one was available at public auction and the bidding for it went bonkers before settling at $59,000 (not counting 10% buyer's premium).  This poster and the better style Oz (which hammered at $72,500) were both bought by the same collector/dealer with one of them already having been resold for an even higher price.
Next up was a never-before-seen style one-sheet for Mutiny on the Bounty (and in my opinion much better than the more familiar style) which closed at $4500 and then a few lots later the lesser style one-sheet for Tarzan and His Mate brought $15,000 - almost double it's previous auction high.

Not everything set a record or seemed to be crazy high (though when it's the first time an item has ever sold, I guess it is automatically a record).
A 3-sheet for the Good Earth closed at $1200, immediately after the one-sheet had just closed for $2700, and absolutely beautiful 3-sheet for Trader Horn closed at "only" $7000.

There were several very nice stone-litho posters promoting MGM's famous Leo the Lion doing an appearance tour which I had never even heard of before.  Even those these tours were obviously giant publicity machines at the time, one of the photo albums contained some shots of the tour's stop in New Orleans in 1929 and it literally looked like Times Square on New Year's Eve with thousands and thousands of people crowded around the MGM wagon to get a look at Leo.

The last half of the auction had only the second 1-sheet ever to turn up for 1932's Tarzan The Ape Man and I was amazed at how deep and rich the colors were - absolutely beautiful, but perhaps the best Tarzan poster of the day was the never before seen 3-sheet from Tarzan & His Mate which had a fantastic portrait of Tarzan and Jane.

I believe that a majority of the posters were purchased by dealers (something that tends to happen many times when buyers find out about high-ticket items only a few weeks before they are sold and have to actually pay for them the day of the auction) and while many will be sold via private sale over the upcoming months, I am sure we will see a few resurface from more high-profile auction houses.

I took a couple of quick pics of the two highest priced items to share with you guys (and so you can see how everything was paraded around outside before and during the sale).

Thanks for that back story and the 2 more candid shots of the OZ posters, Sean. Looked to be a very casual atmosphere, too.

That SEQUOIA poster on the ground, behind the guy holding the OZ poster, also looked to be amazingly vivid and in great shape, too!   thumbup


It just goes to show that hidden rarities are still out there, waiting to be re-discovered.

"This poster and the better style Oz (which hammered at $72,500) were both bought by the same collector/dealer with one of them already having been resold for an even higher price."

My bet is that the Style D has been resold.  I thought it would go for more and I'm sure it would have in a more prominent auction.

BTW Bruce sold a LB Style C one sheet for $4,620 in 1991 ($7,814 with 2012 inflation adjustment.)

I think the 3S (Style A) is the best of the WOZ US posters:

The Salome poster was a reproduction. It was not part of Phifer's estate and was just a reproduction that Phifer's sister-in-law had in the house.
Really loved that Eskimo poster with the sunburst, was hoping to pick it up for $1500 or less, but I dropped out at $2000.

The Wizard of Oz "poster" you ask about was mind-boggling.  It was a home-made sign, text on a piece of cardboard and they cut out part of the pressbook cover and glued it to the center.
The one you pictured I want to say sold for $2500, they had a second copy in even worse shape and it sold for $2600.
I was really shaking my head at those sales.

I'm not so sure that poster equals "unrestored" as it is clearly taped together, which is in itself a form of restoration

as it stands, it can be displayed, but most people will get it restored to prevent the tape from eating at the paper.

the first key is that you can't see any overlapping sheets and the image is perfectly aligned.
then if you look along the center vertically, you can actually see the deformation of what is probably 2" wide tape. It goes through the second M in MGM at top through to Nicholas at the bottom. I can't really tell where the horizontal match is and seeing as I have never had this poster I don't know if it's in 2 or 4 sections or even 6 as some are and I also don't know where the horizontal join is

Alex, if you zoom in close, on the back of the poster, you can see where the credits panel, at the bottom of the poster overlaps a bit and was attached. Looks like it may have been pasted. I also found that HA sold a 6sh, and in their description, it mentions the credits panel as showing some browning from tape, where it was attached to the rest of the poster.  ;)

as few as two, as many as six. when six, it is generally 2 very large main pieces and strips for the top or bottom. I've never seen a one piece.

There is also a Star Wars 7 sheet and a 1958 Snow White 7 sheet which I had. There are sure to be others

Alex,

Here are detail grabs from the copy that HA sold, which shows where the credits panel was attached (tape stains) and various panel registrations, that, when assembled, were very slightly off:

Patience paid, off, it seems. THE INVISIBLE MAN WC, offered for years by Eggbert, finally sold in early August. It was interesting to see this card listed month after month, over the last several years with various prices attached to it.
It had been restored (missing upper left corner, stains, holes) and backed.
It sold (a BIN) for $9750.00

The "Egbert buying it himself in a fit of rage" seems even more likely now after seeing this card in Bruce's Halloween auction.
Otherwise the purchaser is setting himself up for a world of hurt. 
After sitting for years unsold, the new buyer would have to realize at least $12,188 on the quick flip just to break even

Blimey...I know the bidders at Christies have deep pockets, but that is a lot. I wonder if the Disney/Lucasfilm news helped that one up? Nice prices on the Bond quads too, Bond anniversary and Skyfall contributing to that a bit too perhaps? I love some of those travel posters, they're beautiful.

The other way of looking at it is that most of the purchasers are wealthy rather than stupid. If some are smart enough to create great personal wealth and their perception of loose change is thousands of pounds rather than pounds why should they bother with the hassle of ebay or online dealers/auctions? Christies offer the convenience of allowing you to take your winnings home with you when the auction ends.

As do all auction houses, and don't forget. It takes at least two bidders to get to that kind of price. Most of these buyers aren't poster collectors, they are just wealthy people who want a talking point on the wall. It's a bad thing as many times over the years, a seller with NO knowledge of posters, or even Film has said to me, "I've checked the price on Christies and I know what it's worth....?

These "wealthy" people should have a minion running round to find the best deal. They would still be over paying, but a lot less, and it wouldn't screw with prices...  ;)

something that many people also forget with wealthy buyers - Time is Money.

let's say you make $300 an hour (or even more)
is it worth your while to try to save a few hundred on a poster (or thousands) when it may take you several hours more?

I was an auto mechanic once and managed a service station in Manhattan (and I was just 21).
Today however I am not, so I pay a mechanic to work on my car because I don't have the time, or there isn't a cost benefit to me.

This rare, CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (Decla-Bioscop AG; 1920), was auctioned yesterday (Nov 3) by PosterConnection, Inc, in San Francisco.

It's description:

Condition Details: (C) was folded, on linen, professionally restored tears and paper losses in image area and at the left edge, top and bottom margins have been recreated, partial restoration of DECLA logo and some lettering at the bottom left."

It had an estimated price of $42,000.00 - $100,000.00.

The realized price was $118,000.00

Artist: Fritz Rostadt

The German expressionistic elements in this piece are evident and right in line with the art direction done in the film.   clap clap clap

Post by: erik1925 on November 04, 2012, 09:25:04 PM
A work of art it is.

Considering the rarity of pieces from CALIGARI, in general, the small amount of restoration and re-creation on this poster didn't affect the price in the least. Its rarity its preservation in a complete form seems to have been the ultimate factor, methinks.  clap clap clap

A question to ponder, though-- would the bidding have gone higher, had there been no areas (top and bottom borders, part of the logo and part of the artist's name) that needed to be re-created?

I don't think so.  What are you going to do, wait for one in better condition to come along?  Could be awhile, and maybe the next one is in worse shape.  If you wanted it and had the dosh to get it, I'm thinking you'd go all in for this one.

The last 2 that Bruce sold (both on linen), went for $3050.00, in May of 2010 and $3300.00, in December of 2009.  thumbup

Considering the opening bid of $15.00, I wonder if the seller knew how desirable this poster really is. And with it being a new seller with zero feedback, this could have been cause for some to steer clear (except those who KNEW what they were looking at  ;) ).

Hey Matias,

I figured it wasnt stone lithography by the 1960s but i am certainly impressed by the process used that created the subtlety in skin tones and the beautiful gradation of color on the Argentine OS.  happy1

The "Egbert buying it himself in a fit of rage" seems even more likely now after seeing this card in Bruce's Halloween auction.
Otherwise the purchaser is setting himself up for a world of hurt. 

After sitting for years unsold, the new buyer would have to realize at least $12,188 on the quick flip just to break even



After selling this past Tuesday for only $5000.00, this had to be a MAJOR sting, considering Egbert sold it only fairly recently, on ebay, for $9750.00.  OUCH!

Impossible to know for sure.

A 50/50 toss up, as it could have been bought by a fellow collector to repair, conserve and keep.

It will look amazing, once it has been washed and treated to remove the yellowing and excess dirt (and then repaired).

It is still a Beautiful poster, even in that condition.   thumbup

The spectacular Sullivan's Travel poster ballooned from $955 to $3,730 in the last two minutes.  With 63 watchers, that was no surprise.  I got left behind at $3,000 and I've heard a rumor somebody else here bid $3,100.  This particular one was in exceptionally good condition, but it had a sizable hole in the upper crossfold, which required LBing to repair, which I think slightly brought down the price.  I expected it to go for at least $4,000 and my bid wasn't that serious.

More noticeable (and what could have affected the price even more) than the small crossfold hole and bottom border chips and dings (easily repaired by the likes of John Davis or Dario), is what looks to be an overall, slight faded appearance to the poster. (This could be due to lighting but the image(s) is/are what prospective buyers judge by). The seller states that they use no flash, which is good, in order to avoid "blowing out" images.  

Here is an image of a copy that Bruce sold back in 2009. The blue background, Lake's red dress, her hair color and the yellow, title font appear to be much more bold and vibrant on Bruce's copy; next to it, today's sale image:

Those are fantastic!  And you buy what you like, rather than thinking you "must" buy a certain style or "have" a certain poster, in order to qualify for some "elite status or collection," as some have expressed.

That concept is pure nonsense, IMO.

Putting things in perspective, Mark Rothko's "Black Stripe (Orange, Gold and Black)" sold for $21.3 million yesterday (http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/paintings/mark-rothko-black-stripe-5621938-details.aspx), probably more than the annual total sales of movie posters. The color combination is intriguing but still it's just a few paint stripes.

Not exactly my cup of tea, but quite mesmerizing.  The juxtaposition if colors is out of this world. 

Paul, I am not a big modern art fan.  Impressionism and post Impressionism is what I melt for, probably because of my upbringing.  I certainly do appreciate some pieces, like this one, but very few I'd put on my walls.

I just find it hard to see that kind of out lay on what Sean so eloquently puts it as, Three stripes. I do appreciate we
all have different tastes, but Taste and shelling out that kind of money on this new piece is two different games.

It's a Crazy world for sure, that money could have done a lot of good in the world.... Which I'm sure would have

in order to understand Rothko's work, you need to understand and study the history and transformation of art through the 18th to the 20th century. Youneed to study the works of a variety of artists that includes Warhol, Rothko, Pollack as well as Picasso, Dali and the French Impressionists.

By the time the modern artists of the 1950s-60s were coalescing into what are known as their popular styles, our society was at a crossroads of a new age in many ways culturally, culminating in much radical thought which changed not only painted art, but popular music, writing and film. Each is just a stairstep in a greater picture of the many constituents of modern culture, each influenced by the culture that preceeded it.

Post by: FightClub12 on November 15, 2012, 04:37:46 PM
To answer your question ddilts, there is no reasonable answer. The "unreasonably high" art prices are a fairly recent phenomenon. 60 Minutes did a great segment on contemporary pieces. (I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to hyperlink) but here is a link with the video:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/30/morley-safer-returns-to-art_n_1391457.html

And here is a link to the script:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57407319/even-in-tough-times-contemporary-art-sells/


Without checking those links, the short story is that somewhere in the late 20th century, art became more of a commodity instead of it's true function-- serving itself. I've always told people that the definition of art is "..something that has no purpose other than itself." And today's high-end 'art' is no longer art. It's just a money-making tool. People buy at 4 million to sell at 6 million a few years later, for example.

The value of Rothko's Black Stripe (aka:scarlet snake abstract) is completely irrelevant. It's worth what anyone will pay for it. If I were to sell a near exact copy of it, I could get it done for ~$1500-2000... does that de-value a 21million dollar piece if it's so easily reproduced?

And I can guarantee you the person who bought it does not care a lick about it's artistic merit. They bought it purely as investment. Or it could be an insane billionaire, who just likes to flaunt wealth and actually *will* hang it up, a la Mr. Burns.

Now, maybe the question you were asking was 'Why is THIS piece $21 million?? There are hundreds of artists who could paint something like this.." The answer is typically pure narrative. Who has an interesting education or back-story? Who was innovative in design or technique? Who was exploitable? ....And are they dead? When an artist dies, their work immediately goes up because there is now a limited supply. Almost every artist is classified as a "starving artist", simply due to the great number of artists and pieces of art(Even a large number of the classical masters died destitute.) It's the "CEO" analogy -- There are innumerable people capable of being a corporate CEO, yet there are very few people actually holding that position just because of the finite number of large companies. Luck has a tremendous amount to do with it. It's no different in the art world.

Fightclub...
I spent the better part of my life as a dealer of comic art & illustration and I studied art of all kinds for decades, both in school and afterward. Alot fo what you posted above is really incorrect, or at least a variation of a novice look at the field of art.
First of all, high prices for art is not a recent phenomenon and "high price" is also a relative term. 50 years ago Van Gogh paintings may only have sold for $15k up to $50k or a more, but when you consider that the average CEO pay at the time was about $250-100k, then those amounts are quite high at that time. Furthermore, the vast majority of people who spend vast amounts of money on art ARE NOT thinking about investment value any more than I think my Raymond Chandler poster collection is an investment. We buy what we are interested in. That does not mean that investors are not present, but like in any field, they are a strict minority. Then, it is 100% incorrect that an artist's work goes up because he dies. It is a fallacy.

I've dealt with these uber-wealthy people all my life and while a small percentage of them do act the way you describe, the vast majority of art collectors - including the Steve Wynns - collect from a love for the material. If they can afford $20million pieces, it is no different than a person who can only afford $20 piece. You are involved at your price level and I can tell you  factually that Steve Wynn patronizes the $1000 artists as well as the dead Van Goghs

I'm really not interested in hijacking this thread, so if anyone would like to continue it after this response, feel free to PM me.


I like to speak in generalities, like to paint with a wide brush (haha!) and use a lot of indefinite pronouns. I don't feel like anything I said was way off-basis. If you guys go watch the 60 Minutes piece, you'll see it focuses on the multi-million dollar auctions and how those pieces are primarily bought for later profit.

The "unreasonably high" cutoff (which I never listed) is, in my opinion, larger than it has been, respective to wages. Maybe this is a naive assumption, but I'd have to see the relationship of prices of art versus the number of super-wealthy today compared to the 1800s.

As for my "Why is THIS piece $21 million" comment, I think you guys took that the wrong way. I know a bunch of artists who do really great work, and even some who paint abstracts that compare nicely to the Rothko, but they never received the same recognition. The point I was trying to make is that the artistic merit of the work is rarely the sole decider in determining its value.


On a different note, how does one determine the value of a poster that has never been sold on an online auction site?

It is unfathomable to me that this guys art is worth .21 let alone 21 million. I guess I have to technical of a brain to "get" it.

in order to understand Rothko's work, you need to understand and study the history and transformation of art through the 18th to the 20th century. Youneed to study the works of a variety of artists that includes Warhol, Rothko, Pollack as well as Picasso, Dali and the French Impressionists.

By the time the modern artists of the 1950s-60s were coalescing into what are known as their popular styles, our society was at a crossroads of a new age in many ways culturally, culminating in much radical thought which changed not only painted art, but popular music, writing and film. Each is just a stairstep in a greater picture of the many constituents of modern culture, each influenced by the culture that preceeded it.

Kind of like young whipper snappers dissing Citizen Kane without understanding how monumental it was for it's time.  Film too has been a progression of ideas, techniques, and technical advancements.  Just because Tarantino copies (and arguably improves on) someone like Peckinpah shouldn't detract from what either one accomplishes.

Putting things in perspective, Mark Rothko's "Black Stripe (Orange, Gold and Black)" sold for $21.3 million yesterday (http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/paintings/mark-rothko-black-stripe-5621938-details.aspx), probably more than the annual total sales of movie posters. The color combination is intriguing but still it's just a few paint stripes.

He's listed it IN reproductions, but no where on his listing dose it say so, and he's dropping hints at an original 66 version... That's what I call arse covering if there's any come backs, fly sod.

Anyone know the buyer?

Post by: erik1925 on November 16, 2012, 01:40:26 PM
Hi Paul,

Can I ask what hints this seller dropped in his auction that made you think he was suggesting this was from 1966?

Here's what I got out of his listing:

* He has it listed in the 1980s reproduction section
* He gives the measurements (is 27x37 correct or incorrect for this particular poster?)
* He only states (and shows via pics) what is printed on the poster: Printed in England, and the copyright year of 1966.
* He says he bought it in the 1980s.

He never comments that he thinks it could be from 1966. His title listing is fine to include the year because that is when the film came out (and many posters are listed this way).

Just curious to know what I was missing.


 cheers

Post by: Mondo Hazardo on November 16, 2012, 02:03:03 PM
Paul's right. Seller is obviously aware of it being a reproduction and stays nicely clear of that in the description and title which is obviously what most buyers are looking at. If you are a novice buying a poster you won't be aware of sizes and if you don't read the smallprint of the category you will think it's the real thing. I mean man, it's old, the seller "got it in the eighties". "It also says 1966". Yeah right. In any case the description of the item should tell what it is, not the Ebay-category. Pretty sure, we have a duped buyer here.

Absolutely he has a brain.  Is he the greatest businessman ever?  No, but it appears he has made some smart decisions over his career (as well as dumb ones).
What is it they say - Lincoln was a failure at everything he did until he was elected president.

Why is it you always profile people who pay high amounts for posters as trust-fund babies?

Not trust-fund babies, just idiots.  Yes, I truly believe you have to be an idiot to spend 5 times over what a movie poster is worth.  Trust me, I know a few extremely rich people, some in my family, and I can tell you that the one thing they all have in common is that they are very astute buyers and investors.  They don't get caught in bidding wars.  But I don't expect a dealer, or someone who sells posters or makes a living from posters, to agree with me.  It's not good business, and I understand that.  It's an ongoing argument that I have with some of you on this forum, and I understand where it's coming from.

Very true, David, and that's what separates us in some of our arguments.  I come from the buyer POV, since I never sell.  You come from the other angle, the seller or the consignor.  Obviously, I'm going to aim toward less money, and you will aim toward more.  Common sense.

Not just a good one, it's the truth (that he has a brain).

I will agree that the price on the Casablanca seems extremely high and it is unlikely the purchaser will ever be able to resell for a profit, but that may not be a concern for the buyer. I don't pretend to know another person's pocketbook. I will say that as the underbidder on the copy that sold at auction earlier this year, I was prepared to bid higher on this nicer copy but not to such a level (and you forget I don't make my living from posters).
There are absolutely some items I have purchased where I have paid multiples of their worth and will probably never recoup my investment either that I bought for the sheer joy I have from looking at and admiring the piece. The opportunity cost of those dollars for me was best spent in overpaying for a poster.
As long as there is a roof over their family's head, food on the table, and money in the bank for later who cares how someone spends their discretionary dollars? It's does not make them an idiot*.

* with the caveat that we are talking about pieces that rarely, if ever, surface for sale. If someone decides to start paying $5,000 for Star Wars 1-sheets, then yes that person is an idiot. :)

I have always wondered what the thinking was by MGM, when these reissue cards were made, in opting to make the yellow brick road and Dorothy's dress both red.

Or if you collect Bogart posters.  What was the "high sale" on a Casablanca insert before today? 

The price of a luxury car?  It's now a nicely equipped, foreclosed US home...

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on November 30, 2012, 01:07:02 AM
no one is going to pay anything near that price again Chris.
I really think youneed to step outside yourself and understand why sales of this nature happen, and why it's difficult to duplicate them. You need 2 to tango. Now only one tangoer is standing wanting one. Who says they want one bad enough to buy it in a straight sale? Who says that tomorrow they'll even be interested. One person spent over $8million in the first Debbie Reynolds auction but didn't place a single bid for the second auction. You have no idea what someone with that kind of wealth wants to do from one day to the next in many cases. Certainly the third bidder was far down the list. Now that #2 doesn't have to bid against #1, their high bid in an auction would be 1/4 or less than today's sale..

Of course, it ain't like another copy of a Casablanca insert is just going to pop out of the window anyway.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Filmlobbycards on November 30, 2012, 02:03:30 AM
Definitely a hard point to argue further..it is rather easy to see that the Deluca/Cage Dracula is a perfect example ...The Dracula from the berwicks suffered from a heavy hitter dropping out because his cornerstone was filled..the berwick poster might have been a tad sexier in saturation..
However I would venture to say that the Forbidden Planet was an anomaly ..a relatively easy poster to find for 20k+..however brie mentioned the stooges tassels poster..good luck finding another...or the Chaplin poster...or the Mouse...some posters deserve a reprieve from the idea that the price was overblown..2 cents

A good analogy, Chris. Whether that home is foreclosed or is the purchase price.  

And back in December of 1996, Bruce sold a linen backed Casablanca US insert for $7475.00, and one in Dec, 1992 for $7700.00  happy1

Good one!

Not trust-fund babies, just idiots.  Yes, I truly believe you have to be an idiot to spend 5 times over what a movie poster is worth.  Trust me, I know a few extremely rich people, some in my family, and I can tell you that the one thing they all have in common is that they are very astute buyers and investors.  They don't get caught in bidding wars.  But I don't expect a dealer, or someone who sells posters or makes a living from posters, to agree with me.  It's not good business, and I understand that.  It's an ongoing argument that I have with some of you on this forum, and I understand where it's coming from.

Well then, I will never have a good poster collection, because I will never sacrifice life over movie posters.  Posters come dead last in my discretionary income.

T
Hmm - to be fair, there are probably people who consider us to be stupid.  Paying $00's for an image that has been reprinted by Maxi just so WE can say it came from 1971.

So what, they may ask.  You're an idiot, they may say.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: ATLfun on November 30, 2012, 10:41:36 AM
Not sure why there is such a fuss about prices being higher than before.  

Some posters go up in value and others go down.  When you have posters that do not see the light of day for over a decade, how can you accurately reflect today's worth? A decade a go maybe 10 people where jonesing for it, and now maybe 40 people want it.

And of course the inverse is true.  Tom Mix posters have probably passed their heyday.  Most people under 45 have probably no clue who Tom Mix is and could care less.  So a Tom Mix poster that has not been auctioned off in 10 years might sell for far less.

I bet I could pay 1k more than the highest sales price ever on a Goldfinger quad, and I would still be in good shape if I sold it ten years from now.  So what's the big deal?

And at some point, you just have to give Heritage credit for putting on a good show and garnering tremendous exposure for their items.

I, too, found a lot of the comments made from 145-148 very intriguing..

My uncle, who is 68ish, is a tremendous tight-ass. He, for example, would never go into a restaurant and pay $7 for a burger and fries because he knows he could make 3 burgers and fries for $4 at home. So each time he hears the price of something has gone up, he can't fathom it. I think he still thinks of money as he did in the 60s when he used to say that he'd pick cotton for 2cents a pound, or something ridiculous like that... "I can't believe it. When I was a kid, <___> used to cost $2 !" (If I truly had a nickel for every time he said something regarding the incredible jump in the price of gold a few years back, well, I'd be a wealthy man.)

I don't want for this to become flame-worthy, but by reading a bunch of incredulous responses to the prices of things on here, I'd just like to point out that you guys are not the infallible kings of valuation. Things that seem worthless sell for a lot, and things that are rare sometimes lose value. It's all a fucking gamble. It is the way of the world.

If buying and reselling higher was so easy, every single person would do it. But they don't because most people lack A) a feel for the current taste of the masses, and C) an anticipatory sense of value.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we often, and incorrectly, view the objective value of something through the subjective prism of our interests, and we find anyone else's taste is something different thoroughly incomprehensible. This applies to almost everything -- food, clothing, music, religion, and yes, even printed color paper..

Hmm - to be fair, there are probably people who consider us to be stupid.  Paying $00's for an image that has been reprinted by Maxi just so WE can say it came from 1971.

So what, they may ask.  You're an idiot, they may say.

Oh my, FightClub is coming out swinging... wynk

There are those who think they are smarter because.....(pick one)

a. They have more money
b. They have more college degrees
c.  They have more common sense/street smarts
d.  They have been endowed by God with special poster powers

The only thing I know for sure, is those that like to hold themselves out as being smarter are generally not.

Why spend money on food when you could give your friends a call to chew the fat, they certainly won't tell you to eat crow they may tell you to swallow your pride, but sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it so better to have eaten humble pie than to eat dirt where you could finding yourself eating your own words.  :-\

The Everything or Nothing poster for $815.00 (around £525.00) was about right going from recent prices.

I have to say that FightClub12's last post was a good one.

Bingo. The half quad size.

Two of them went over $100 which would be 28% commission. The last one sold for over $400 so it goes down to 24%. I'd guess about 25-26% on average.

I'm definitely happy they went to good homes.  And frankly I'm equally happy to be rid of them!  They were going to be part of my UK Bond poster collection... but I quickly realized that I was having enough trouble just trying to track down the quads I wanted. The DCs would have been a whole other can of worms.  Glad I nipped that in the bud before it got out of hand too!

Take the prices on Cinemasterpieces and then double them and post them on your site. If you sell something, you can almost surely buy it back for less.

Take the prices on Cinemasterpieces...

I think you can leave it at that, Bruce.  Or maybe Posteritati.

Nice.  The main one I was after was Innocence, and I was able to get it at a very good price.  I've had it as a b2 for awhile, and I'm really happy to have it as a B1.  I was happy to let you take over that Goodfellas video. That's a particularly nice poster, so enjoy it!

You don't owe me one.  It was a clean fight.  I did not let you win, I am not that nice.  I just stopped when it reached my mental threshold and it was too expensive for me.  Congrats.

Thank you, sir.  It'll probably be one of the nicest posters in my humble collection.  The Goodfellas B1 that you won, with the iconic art, is very cool.  Congrats on that one and the other wins you had tonight.

You are right about the Earth vs the Flying Saucers Matt - good spot!

And this daybill upswing is very troubling!  Luckily for me it seems to mostly be the sci-fi/monster/horror/creepy Eastwood stalker genres though ;)

As the seasoned vet that I am, I think this is a seasonal blip. Mid late January, prices should level out a bit. That being said, if I could buy stock in EmP, I would. I don't see prices going anywhere but up in the coming years.. <OO

You may be right, but there are still people with valid questions and I don't want to bar them.  Actually, I know you're right, because I've changed the wording of my "Not for Sale" about 10 times.

Your Not For Sale sign is on the home page. People probably wouldnt pay attention to your message at that point, if they see it, instead likely quickly clicking a gallery link in the menu instead.

You are better off writing Not For Sale against every poster, but if that is too hard, instead of making the Contact Us in the left nav menu a mailto link, instead link it to a newly created Contact Us page on it stating clearly the posters are not for sale with the mailto link there instead. That way the user will clearly see it is not for sale before emailing you, where currently they likely never see or remember such a message.

Yup - I have, and nine times out of ten they haven't sold.

But, on the tenth time, they Have sold.

...and I have made about 100 such enquiries - and doing the maths offers some insight to the results.

But the suggestion to put the Not For Sale sign on the Contact page might discourage some.

i regularly get requests for prices in my Comic Art gallery on the comicartfans website.
I don't mind the requests, however, these donkeys apparently never remember who they have contacted in the past & I keep getting inquiries from people who have repeatedly turned down my price.

for instance, I have a 4 page Cheech Wizard story by Vaughn Bode that I want $30k for. one guy keeps asking if I will sell a page for $1500 and every time I tell him no. Next time I'm telling him to go fuck himself.
Sadly, he is not alone.

Another asshole - a well heeled one - asked me about the same story. At the time, I was not selling (right now I'm looking for real estate - I'm selling!), so I took the usual attitude when I'm not selling: I'll listen to offers.

well he wanted me to quote a price. Hey.. I wasn't planning on selling and you contacted me, not the other way around, so if you want to make me sell, make me an offer. We went on like this back and forth for numerous emails over about a week until finally I said "look, you contacted me. If you're interested in the art, make me offer or stop bothering me".. 2 days later the dumb fuck asked me to give him a price. Some people just don't get it. But facts are, I've been dealing with idiots like these for 46 years, which is why I've become such a hard ass over time. I used to have a much greater tolerance level for these fools than I have today.

If you are thinking of going the shut down route I would leave the site up and just password protect it so only you and those you give access to can enter it. Another option is add a spam filter through your email program or provider to weed out sales inquiries based on keywords/phrases. Another solution is to remove your email address from the site which I recommend no matter what from a spam point of view and add an actual contact page with a filter added that will weed out and automatically scrap or respond not for sale or something similar to any messages containing requests to purchase. As someone who develops these things for sites all the time I can tell you it is not that difficult at all to have a developer add it to your site.

That's my reason exactly, it's the only way I can conveniently view my collection without sifting through "the pile."  I do nothing to publicize it or increase traffic (well, except my FS sig), and you pretty much have to be looking for some obscure title to get it to come up on teh Google at all.  Suits me fine.

A 1980s repro poster for the Polish version of Sunset Boulevard sold on Dec 6th for $700.00

Originals have the printer's info on the left side near the bottom, running vertically up the poster, in small, black print.
 
This copy is lacking the printer's info. emovie has sold a number of the reproductions and they, too, lack the printer's mark.
That this was a repro should have been mentioned in the description, IMO, even though an original would sell for thousands.

It always amazes me what people pass on.  This is one great poster.  One of the best 60s poster, IMO.  True, it needs major work, but as Bruce's people said, it would look as good as new once restored.  People spend $100s on shit, but let this one go for $125...  Baffling.  I should have bid on it.

Case in point...  Really?  Really?  For a folded poster when rolled ones are all over?

Two reasons

1. Maybe because you might be able to pick up a VG-F for around $500-$600 and there's probably $400-$500 in restoration in that one that sold for $125?
2. You used IMO

Or just display and enjoy it as it is.  I strongly feel that a poster needs to proudly show its wear marks, if only to prove that this is legitimate advertising paper.

I feel that poster is very displayable as is.  At most, I might try to clean up some of the brown staining, if it didn't involve paint.

^agreed, I think it looks good as it, some tape on back on fold separation and tear, and bingo.
Bit curious as to the high guesstimate also.
I have had very little done, but I remember my beast with a million eyes was a darn site cheaper, under $200 from memory and that needed paper replacement and some recreation of the title etc.
Granted that was a while back.

Ouch! 

In my amateur opinion it's just water stains or 'tidemarks' (ironic) with maybe some mold and can be soaked in a calcium hydroxide (an alkaline solution) to eliminate the stains... Then you could bleach to reduce the mold stains... So this one is an easy fix most likely...  Of course you never know until you get into it...

Bat signal went out.

Bruce's description is spot on. Most paper if not all, is there. Poster is actually in pretty good shape.

I don't think there is any major restoration involved. mostly just wash wash wash. That should remove most stains dirt.

If not, possible a light air brush in the affected areas. That would be an easy mask off.

I can't see this one costing more than 300.00 to fix up. Mind you, not sure what the back looks like?

Best,

Nah, it is half my defense mechanism as this damn restoration stuff seems so clear from this end but seems to be so swayed by opinion.  And when you have worked and studied your eyes red, it is just frustrating  because no one really understands what you are doing. And there is still that little guy in your own head asking 'are you sure you know what you are doing?'  I had to really fight to get this far, noo one really holding my hand.  l would hate the pressure of doing it for real. 

Plus Dario is the man... it is understandable.

My wife will be sooooooo happy about this one.  She bought it for me 10 years ago when we first met.  I think she spent $400 for it, a big deal at the time.  I eventually told her it wasn't worth $40 (yes, I do it to my wife too ;)).  She got so upset that she never bought me another poster again.

She'll be glad it sold for more than my $40.

Post by: Bruce on December 13, 2012, 09:45:05 PM
THIS is a really cool poster, for the reasons discussed below:

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/thursday//550/french_1p_golden_city_HP02653_L.jpg)

Die Goldene Stadt (released in English speaking countries as "The Golden City"), the 1942 Veit Harlan German family relationship poor-girl-goes-to-the-big-city melodrama (about the daughter of a rich man who lives in the country, who wants to go to "the golden city" [Prague], and her father forbids her, and she goes anyway and lives with her aunt, and then her evil cousin gets her pregnant, and then he leaves her when he finds out her father has disinherited her, and she commits suicide) starring Kristina Soderbaum, Eugen Klopfer, Annie Rosar, Liselotte Schreiner, Paul Klinger, Kurt Meisel, and Rudolf Prack.

Note that there are many interesting aspects about this movie! First, this was a Nazi movie that was released in occupied France, and while it is not a movie that glorifies Nazism, it was made by those who made the worst Nazi movies (see below). Also note that Josef Goebbels ordered the ending of this movie changed (originally, the girl returned to her father, but Goebbels wanted her dead for having become pregnant out of wedlock!).

Also, Goebbels did not want Joachim Gottschalk in the movie, even though he was a much loved German actor, and he had his scenes re-shot with Paul Klinger. What did Goebbels have against Gottschalk? Shortly before the Nazis came to power, he had married a Jewish woman and had a son. He was so popular with the public that the Nazis tolerated his Jewish wife and son, but in 1939, Gottschalk took his wife to a Nazi social function, and when Josef Goebbels learned of the incident, he told Gottschalk to leave his wife and child. Gottschalk refused and Goebbels ordered them sent to a concentration camp. Gottschalk took his wife and son, and they killed their son and committed suicide. Goebbels ordered that no mention be made of the incident, but his death was reported in the newspapers anyway, but no one learned the truth of how he had died until after the war!

Also, this movie was directed by Veit Harlan, and most of the movies he made during the Nazi era (many starring his wife Kristina Soderbaum) were added to the "forbidden" movies list, because they included some of the most vile movies ever, including "Jud Suss". After the war, he was tried for war crimes, but he argued that he had been forced to direct "Jud Suss", but Joseph Goebbels' diary showed that he had been enthusiastic in making it, and the diary said "Harlan did a great job. It is the most anti-Semitic movie"! Yet in 1950, Harlan and Soderbaum were allowed to again make movies, but they only did a few minor ones. It is also interesting to note that Harlan's niece was Susanne Christian, who married Stanley Kubrick, who was Jewish!

There has to be... that's the only explanation for this.. http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2807766

Italian 2F 70's RR for Dr. No, went for double what it normally sells for.  Even the From Russia With Love 2F went about $500 more than I would have thought, but at least that's A LOT rarer.

I've learned not to be too surprised anymore. Emovie has become too popular, great for Bruce but bad for us.  I rarely win anything anymore, but usually it works out in the end as can find the same poster on eBay for half the price some nut just paid.

Enter Dragon H.K 1sh sold on ebay recently......it had the international art instead of Chinese which is unusual as most prolly use the Chinese art of Lee screaming.

Other H.K authentics I've seen :

Enter Dragon (printed on cheap paper thus tanned , might've been a 2sh....it was def legit but sadly I did not keep an image)
Enter 1sh (someone here bought it.....bought a Way re-issue too ;)
Way 1sh (had Canadian censor stamp)
Way 1sh (on ebay now , considering how rare these are I wouldn't say 200$ or more to be unreasonable)
Boss 1sh (out of Hawaii)
Boss 1sh (out of Mexico prolly.....the one I got)
Boss 1sh (out of Holland , same re-issue I got)

Only the Enters were 1st issues.......these are the only ones I've seen in 14 yrs.

I actually picked this up for a hell of a lot less then $250. It is a pretty nice poster. It even glows in the dark on certain points. I like it.

It is pretty cool in person. I know I have not seen to many of these. The Glow in the dark part is pretty neat to. Maybe one of these days I will have to see if I can get a pic of it glowing for you all to see.

That said, I cannot get out of my mind the Heritage Casablanca Insert sold this November for $190,000. That was a WTF of massive scale (excuse my French). Clearly I will never be able to afford one of those....why are posters so expensive eh? i do want one too :'(

I know exactly how you feel. I was the underbidder on the one that sold at auction in May for $27,000. Because of some scratches and minor condition issues I thought I'd wait for a nicer one at a better price.
Oops.

And yes, I think the Psycho is better than a Forbidden Planet B2 with the same old artwork you get from every other country. There were 6 bidders at the $6000+ level, so apparently I am not alone in those thoughts.

I agree its similar artwork but its artwork nonetheless, whereas a large portion of the psycho is photographic . Just my opinion

Is it just me or was there a crazy amount of bidders tonight?  Usually with the Eastern Blocs I end up bidding one on one with someone before too long.  Tonight, I was getting raised by two or more other bidders right up through the end.  And a lot of the posters I had my eyes on went for double the previous high sale price. 

I had 117 items on my watch list and I feel lucky to have ended up with 20!

Post by: Bruce on January 16, 2013, 06:58:13 AM
Almost without fail, the amount that our auctions total 12 hours before the end is doubled over those last 12 hours.

So if a set of auctions total say, $12,000 at 7 AM the morning before they close, then they will total $24,000 after they close (this has proven true over the past several years, and if there is a variance from that, it is tiny). This is obviously reflective of how many people wait for the closing hours and minutes to bid.

But last night's auctions totaled just $8,800 at 7 AM and yet when they closed, they totaled $29,282, meaning they more than tripled!

Why? There were at least a dozen people like Harry Caul who were sitting at their computer mostly waiting for the Polish and Czechs, and the bidding was hot and heavy (see all the results at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/date/2013-01-15/sort/4/archive.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/date/2013-01-15/sort/4/archive.html))

Why did this happen? One fellow who had sold most of his Polish collection through us years ago had saved the very best, and he now needed money and sent what he had saved. Coincidentally, another fellow sent a nice collection of Polish and Czechs, and together the two made for a sensational offering, and the people who like those poster recognized what a rare opportunity this was and bid accordingly.

Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on January 16, 2013, 09:47:28 AM
Tob

Sometimes they will send one VERY large box, and sometimes there will be a bunch of tubes in the box. Sometimes they send a bunch of individual tubes and boxes. I imagine that from some places it is cheaper one way and others the other way is better.

Almost all are smart enough to use really strong tubes and boxes and leave no shifting room. I just HATE when consignments arrive even slightly damaged due to insufficient packaging!

In one of the shots the poster is out of the frame so does not look like an issue but it does appear to be, in that shot, to be separating from the backing in the top left.

Chris.. it looks like the seller used the frame/plexi to hold the poster flat. Look at the top of the frame, above the linen edge and u can see the floor showing in the gap. Doh!  ;)

I saw that this R50's quad (per seller's description) for House of Frankenstein just sold on Jan 14, for $250.00. The previous time it was listed at $300.00, it had no takers. It looks to be in fine shape, too, with crisp folds, and edged that aren't tattered or chipped:

You do have to be very careful with these Eros re-release posters, as they were some of the first (British anyway ) posters to be reproduced. It is best to see them in person, as the paper is a tell-tail sign...

Paul, does that copy look to clean and crisp, in your opinion, to be an original RR from the 1950s?

Post by: paul waines on January 19, 2013, 02:03:52 PM
Also the paper looks too thick, as much as you can tell from the pic. The Eros posters were printed on very thin stock, maybe half the thickness of standard paper, it also has a different feel to the paper.  Fingers crossed for the fellow who bought it.

But you can't forget the toher part of the equation.  Buy only what you love because it is impossible to speculate. The current dip in westerns may just be waiting for the next Clint Eastwood to emerge, or it might reflect a permanent change in tastes.  Those westerns may be waste paper for years to come.

I like some westerns, there's only a few I'd want a poster for though. I'm covered for Keoma, I wouldn't mind a BULLET FOR THE GENERAL some time, but it's not really stuff I look after or seriously go for.

Neither is animation, I have the iron giant advance as a keeper, that's about all I'm interested in I think.

Yes, I suppose you are right. But I only buy what I like anyway  not thinking much about what it might cost (if anything) in the future. Some people, like me are 'emotional' collectors. I buy posters, including westerns of those films I like (John Ford , High noon, etc )  some have rubbish graphics. I am yet to find a John Ford poster with great graphics  but hey..I just collect what I find or can afford.

I wish all the posters I want we're unpopular for ever, so I could keep collecting, not worry about money, and have no desire to sell when times are tough. One good thing about collecting paperbacks, they aren't worth the hassle to sell, so I don't feel any urge to try.

Much of the western material has images that pop out.  If you stand back and look at the image itself and forget the genre and movie, I think they generally are better than the horror/monster paper that people go gaga over.  Of course that is just my opinion.  However, you can't argue that the impact/$$ is definitely there.

For example, here is a 3-sheet I picked up from Bruce for under $15

On the other hand, I participated in last year's Clint Eastwood/Star Wars auction, which ended two days after Mr. Eastwood's "chair debate". I attribute this to some of the crazy low prices. I scored an original italian 2P for around 40 bucks and a re-release

It's a very cool poster for a pretty good movie, although the first two Predator movies are much better and more iconic, of course.  If you're a big fan of the movies and know how the predator uses infrared vision, you may be more likely to agree that it's pretty awesome.  mesmrized

I couldn't find any other sales of one, so it's probably pretty darn rare.  Have you seen any sell at any price, recently or ever, Mel?

It's not the first poster with an infrared image, if you remember the Predator posters of yore, although one could say that the very rare Predators poster is a new trend, that is continuing on with the old school Predator posters.  Which begs the question: would you rather be in on something at the beginning of the trend or at the end?

If you haven't seen it before, then how was that price "unexpected."  The Poster Price Police would have a difficult time saying that price is too high if there are few or no other prices to compare it to...

Chris, do you think, too, it is the angle of the photo that makes it appear an odd size? it almost looks too narrow (in the pic, of course) to be the right dimensions.

If it is truly to top half of a double bill quad it has an odd fold pattern. I would expect either no horizontal fold or a single fold in the center.

I think it said they were found in the attic of a movie theater that was being either renovated (or torn down).  The seller is from a small town in MN, but he said they weren't from his town.  He also alluded to the fact that he had more posters to sell... and I don't doubt him judging by the multiple copies of some he has already listed.

Rosa, when I happened to come across this auction a couple days ago, I thought the same thing, at first look. For a 97 year old poster, the borders look so white. I would think that almost all paper of this age would tan, even slightly, as it ages. Being unused and in a dark place would slow this, but I, too, did wonder. I have, tho, seen other OS over the years from this time frame, that have appeared this pristine and clean looking, as well.

This seller has another OS as well as a 6 sheet for this title. I would be curious to know where these were found, in this attic? How were they stored when he found them? In a drawer, a box or filing cabinet? The facts of a find are always intriguing to me, too.  ;)

Good point Jeff. I agree we need to have all the facts. I just  have a "natural" disposition against pristine vintage posters. I don't know this seller.

I have no doubts what he's got listed are all from the same find and all authentic.

They were just miraculously stored in the proper climate conditions!

But the safe way is the best way so to speak - asking and considering the right questions with a healthy dose of reality-based skepticism goes a long way towards protecting yourself when considering buying something!

Here are is one other completed auction for four (4) 40x60's that were also said to be found behind a wall in an old movie theater in Smelterville, Idaho called The Piks. The most desired title of the lot was REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE. This, tho, is in need of some TLC and love. Not pristine in the least. And this looks to be a fine first sale, too, for this new seller.

The lot went for the opening bid of $999.00

Here are is one other completed auction for four (4) 40x60's that were also said to be found behind a wall in an old movie theater in Smelterville, Idaho called The Piks. The most desired title of the lot was REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE. This, tho, is in need of some TLC and love. Not pristine in the least. And this looks to be a fine first sale, too, for this new seller.

The lot went for the opening bid of $999.00

Use your detective skills albeit however small they are..the right side of the Americano one sheets, from a cursory glance even, show different and unique aspects of aging due to moisture, oxidation etc..Do you really think someone is intentionally reproducing and folding this specific title..and has only a couple..and reproduced a lonely A Sudden Gentleman os to throw you off..seriously?..
Simply spoken..besides the aging of the borders, the genuine and highly obvious Otis stone litho info, the obvious depth of staining in the credits, the closeups?? The period fold lines, the inconsistency of the dark ink .the depth of colors is actually unremarkable IF you have handled silent film one sheets and reached the realization that the printing quality of this period aided the lack of tonal deterioration..I have Otis stone litho Carter posters that are more vivid than you would believe..their condition is impeccable because they WERE NOT USED..considering the condition..if you were a Fairbanks collector.. Which I am not..these posters are a singular chance to get an early one sheet in impeccable condition..good luck upgrading on these..

Someone should probably contact them and tell them if they have more Fairbanks posters that they should wait at least a few months to sell them!

Matt, what you're talking about is "good custodianship" of the material and a consideration about what you're doing to your customer's investment when they spend money. In the case of the Fairbanks poster, the first customer just lost $1200 (presuming all things are equal)

These sales aren't the same as slowly releasing material into the market to both support the pricing and to do as little damage to the market as possible over whatever period of time you're dealing it. If you have 50 copies of a poster, what benefit do you get by selling them all in the shortest time possible for ever decreasing amounts? Is it more beneficial to you to sell a $200 poster that you have 50 copies of for $200 three times a year for 15 years; or $200 one week, $150 a week later, $125 a week later until the 50th week when you're now selling it for $20?

and Zombies of the Stratosphere.. what was bizarre was for the hoards of copies listed, there were only a small number of winning bidders who won many copies each, along with a certain number of individuals who also took them home.

however, the prices of generally under $40-60 is well under the retail prices of both posters historically
many of them are available at other dealer's ebay stores

When were they printed you think?  I am thinking they are some kind of reprint (maybe licensed)... The paper is wrong and the ink is wrong; just a hunch.  Correct me if I am wrong but the assumption is that they were printed in 1915?

I assume they are printed sometime in 1917 (the year of the movie).  Nothing looks wrong to me - they are just really fresh.

Again it does not make sense that these would be reprinted - licensed or otherwise!

There have been many other examples of posters from this era, on both ebay and offered elsewhere, that have this look (very fresh, a bit shiny, and almost too good to be genuine). It all is a matter of where they were stored or kept.

No fading from sunlight, no foxing, moisture issues or water stains. As the seller stated, the paper was just a little brittle, causing some minor cross fold splits.

It sounds like these were in an attic or upper room of a theater, not exposed to light, moisture, and possibly folded and kept in a box or file cabinet. These copies were obviously also unused, so were extras that were set aside and forgotten about. It's always great to see posters like this be re-discovered and brought to light.  thumbup

On the flip side, just imagine the number of posters that were left in old theaters and then trashed - being seen as nothing more than paper clutter.  :'(

I agree with T on this one. Always snipe from auctions and buy from dealers only as a last resort.  

I'm not anti-dealer and they're just trying to make a living but why pay more than you have to?  Even "reasonable" dealers charge 2-3 times typical Ebay auction prices. And typically auction prices are 50% higher on Heritage and Emovie, although of course you get better service from them and can combine purchases.

Main problem with buying from Ebay is the poor shipping and handling.  Send them a link to the MPC "Shipping" page to put them on notice that you expect and demand competent shipping and you'll get better results:

Agreed.  There is nothing more fun than to see idiots bid and overbid each others and then show up and win it all.  But I won't do it in the middle of the night, or in the middle of dinner with friends, or in the middle of sex.  Sniping programs are great then.  Plus, since I always bid within 3 seconds of the end of an item, I want to make sure that I (or my internet service) don't fuck up on some important items, so sniping gives me peace of mind.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/COOL-HAND-LUKE-MOVIE-POSTER-1967-27X40-1-SHEET-PAUL-NEWMAN-/271151004878?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&autorefresh=true&nma=true&si=8NwCulDj7%252BDX0NQdc4%252F83rmrwf0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

It was for a "Cool Hand Luke" 1-sheet, listed as original, but described as 27x40 (twice) and condition "New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item". Also, the image (which appears stock) shows crop marks and when I emailed the seller asking for a pic he claimed "The poster is exactly as pictured. It was found in one of the theaters that I am contracted in." So much conflicting info here.

Given the price it was hovering around within the final seconds, I did jump in the pool, figuring the cost of return shipping was worth the gamble, but ultimately lost. Just curious what you all think. Anyone ever bought from the seller (papi139)?

Sure looks like a reprint, especially if shipped rolled.
He also has it listed under 'current releases?'
Gotta be a reprint.

Listings with stock photos .. could be a gamble, depending on the seller.

His description of its size (27x40), listing it as "brand new" and unwillingness to send you a pic of the actual poster, are red flags, IMHO.  ;)

Post by: pratschm on February 12, 2013, 12:11:49 AM
That's what I figured as well. Looks like the 27x40 reprint is easy to come by. My saving grace was going to be the image he used with the crop marks. Those don't usually show up on repro's, do they? If so, I would have been screwed.

Post by: erik1925 on February 12, 2013, 12:45:21 AM
Are you meaning the registration marks in the 4 corners? 

Yup, those marks would be on any good reproduction, as repros are made from a scanned or photographed original OS or digital file.  ;)

Been shying away from posting anything on that seller, but they have listed SEVERAL suspect posters over the past few months. They also sell original new releases, but just be careful if you buy from them I suppose would be my advise.

I noticed that as well, Dale. I was digging through his finished stuff as well as feedback and saw the same trend - new stuff with an odd ball out every once in a while. Last night was the Cool Hand Luke along with a Caddyshack - no pics, just stock photo. Like I said, when I inquired he stated "The poster is exactly as pictured. It was found in one of the theaters that I am contracted in." I wasn't able to find an exact repro in my Google searches that matched the image he had posted, but his image looked to be never folded and all the images I trust show folded (eg, Bruce's archives). Oh well, (e)bayer beware.

I agree with you on this, too, John, considering that only the borders were trimmed and all of the artwork is intact.

It really all hinges on what kind of glue was used to attach it to the masonite, and whether that could be dissolved so the daybill could be removed.

If easily removed from the board, things like that water mark and missing borders could then be dealt with and corrected.

If not removable, to be enjoyed as is.

I do like that frame, too, Paul. It has a very 30's deco look to it.   thumbup

Talk about pesticide residue and additional staining to the poster, when all was said and done.

So the poster is bought from one auction house and then will go to auction at another. That seller must be pretty confident they will get more at the 2nd auction house (Heritage) to make a profit, I guess it would have to sell for quite a bit more to break even with both auctions costs covered too. Maybe we should be doing the same, buying from elsewhere and selling on Heritage.

See the previous posts beginning here:

The auction was not well-publicized but could be found and was found by some "deep pockets."

Even if Heritage waives the sellers premium, it must sell for $36,650+ to make a profit.

That's capitalism, man, can't complain too much about it.  However, I think collectors should be more vigilant and bid in these obscure auctions to get the best deals. Maybe they did in this particular case.  This particularly auction was easy to find on AuctionZip.com by searching for "movie poster" (http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionsearch.cgi?txtSearchRadius=0&txtSearchZip=20016&txtSearchKeywords=movie+poster&idxSearchCategory=0&month=&year=&newsearch=1) and checking out the "live lots."

"Curse" sounds more sinister for the US market me thinks  :-\  "Night" is far too sophisticated...

Apart from changing the title the film was also edited (run time chopped really) for US distribution. 

Although in it's pure British form it's really a psychological/supernatural thriller they wanted it to be portrayed as a horror film (also explaining why Jacques was forced to include the monster at the end)...

Unfortunately, the WC was used as a backing for a smaller picture frame; it required that much "surgery" to make it fit.  :-[

Chris is correct... these things were disposable.  WCs weren't even used in theaters.  They were meant to be passed out around town and put in every non-theater, store window they could find.  You also have to remember that even bumble-fuck towns of 3-5,000 people had 1 or 2 theaters (main form of entertainment back then).  Then top that off with most movies only being shown 1 or 2 nights as the rotations were much more frequent back then (had to be when you only had 1 screen per theater).  Every store owner in every town probably had stacks of multiples of these things coming out their ears.   
All things considered, I'm surprised how few of these actually survived and we should be happy when something like this turns up at all... even in it's current sorry state  cheers

I wonder what this would realistically sell for in today' market. HA has never sold one and the Style F, that sold last March, went for $143,400 inc the BP.

Todd has had it priced with a BIN of $750,000.00 for a while now, with no best offer option. It is one of those iconic images, without question.  thumbup

Not sure when that one sold, but we sold one two years ago for $13,000 and I thought it a very good deal for the buyer at the time.

this is what happens when sellers don't put the brakes on selling more than the market can handle of any item.
If a Star Wars style-C was available 15 times a year via an auction, by the time they got to the 15th copy, the price would be in the toilet. The problem with poor stewardship is not just specific to each successive sale, it is also walking down the price that the first suckers who bid had to pay, not knowing you were going to unload them into the market later.

Some smarter collectors have chosen to send us some of their better posters for our Fixed Price On Site Consignment program where we regularly achieve much higher than average results. Escape from NY is just one example. We have sold several at that price. Most sales are directly from our website cinemasterpieces.com, but we also sell a lot on ebay and just recently within the past 6 months we have been doing pretty well selling on Amazon.

and as for Pretty Woman......even after all these years we are STILL the only source online where you can regularly find for sale at a fixed price (not at auction) an original double sided 1sh full size 27x41 (not 27x40 repro).  ;D

Final price of $320.00 paid for this 1950s re-release daybill, with a good size hole cut ("trimmed") in it where the ratings info used to be.

Does this seem high, considering the damage and it also being a RR?:

I didn't write "trimmed" but was there ONE person on the face of the Earth (or other planets) who misunderstood this:

"The circular rating area at right has been trimmed from the poster."

Especially when they were looking at this image:

The auction results don't say "realized price," which reflects the buyer's premium.  I'm guessing that those were the hammer prices.

I lost interest when the auction runner told me everything was being sold with "hidden reserves." No can do....

If those buyers like those frames maybe consider the cost of those in the auction results (I don't imagine any of those frames could be considered 'cheap'!)?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on February 22, 2013, 09:58:16 PM
Yeah, but frames are so personal.  They need to go with your decor, not all browns or blacks woods are the same.  We put a piece of art above the fireplace and pretty much redecorated the entire living room based on the art and its frame.  And that's because we didn't have a choice.  The art came with the frame and the frame is very expensive, gold leaves from the 1800s.  So if I do it the other way around, I want to be very attentive to the choice of frames I put on the wall, be it a poster or something else.  At the very least, you have to see the frame in person and take into account the extreme lighting galleries usually use to exhibit.

Even tho in need of some TLC, I think someone got a good deal on this UK 6 sheet, for the 1921 silent serial, The Fight in the Thieve's Kitchen.

Paul, I would think that material from the early 20's is pretty scarce?

It sold for $99.00

Well, according to Peter, yes indeed it is from the first release.

Was that a good price?

#1 I was going to bid on that poster, but I'm not positive it is real

#2 what Peter actually believes is that it is the first poster printed for the title, however I do not know anyone who agrees with him. His "evidence" is nothing more than print ads and ais completely anecdotal. There is no solid evidence of what posters are first 

. this window card, every one I know who I have discussed this with believes  is first release and Bruce sold one or two also as first release, and the only person I know who disagrees with that is Peter.

(http://www.comic-art.com/temp/apf/marijuana_001.jpg)

this is an early 40's release and again, Peter is the only person I know who disagrees
(http://www.comic-art.com/temp/apf/marijuana_003.jpg)

this poster is a conundrum and could be anything from 1930s-50s. I've never seen an authentic one with a border, though I have seen reprints from 1968
(http://www.comic-art.com/temp/apf/marijuana_004.jpg)

the true facts are that no one really knows what order original 1930s posters were released and I know several people who believe the window card is the first poster and the one sheet came later, but within a first release time period. No one really knows, no pressbooks or photos of period theatres have ever been found though I do not know if Bruce has a pressbook in his collection (if he did, it would have the answer). Another person to ask about a pressbook might be Alan Levine No ads showing any of the exact images have been seen and what most of us believe is that there are numerous first release posters printed at various points in Dwain Esper's travels to different towns for his roadshow performances

if the poster that sold on ebay is authentic, that was a very good price.

let me make one slight correction. Everyone I know who I have spoken with about these posters over the years believes the most likely situation is that this poster is early forties, though some also believe it is a 30's poster.

Post by: erik1925 on February 27, 2013, 01:35:20 PM
That was the first thing I noticed, too.

It appears to be more washed out. Just a difference in the lighting?  Edw. G Robinson's image has gone from being slightly flesh tinted to completely black and white on the backed version.

Dario, could incorrect or over aggressive washing actually cause fading to happen?

What a horrible restoration job.
Wish people had to mark their work, as whomever did that job would be on my "avoid at all costs" list.

First thing I noticed was how much more was painted in at the centerfold then appeared to be missing in the original photo, then seeing the top crossfold where it was a slight fold separation and gonbs of paint applied, to the bottom where the not-matching-color-at-all purple was applied to not only the lettering but also the completely different color vertical fold in-between the letting and Stanwyck's dress.

I don't believe the fading is a difference in lighting at all, but instead of using a water-based bath for cleaning, they used a solvent that faded the inks.

Took a very nice looking poster with some minor defects and really messed it up.

Post by: erik1925 on February 27, 2013, 02:01:03 PM
The color of the title font has actually slightly changed, too, going from a more pink-purple to a deeper lavender. And how could the touch-up color that was used on the title be so off?

Was this restorer color blind? 

A real shame.  :'(

If you look close, you can see where the same cross fold splits existed (near the tip of the gun, and next to MacMurray's forehead) and were gobbed over with excess paint, when "restored."

What is interesting is what appears to be some kind of oval-shaped stain on the post restore image-- at the lower right corner. It overlaps the pink background and the white border. Yet this same stain is not seen on the pre-restore image. It has that look like when oil soaks thru paper.

Pretty sure it is the same poster, not only from the restoration covering up the mentioned defects, but also the attempted cover-up of the diagonal mark on the poster between Stanwyck and MacMurray's faces.

I had posted this, when active, in the mid auction thread. A French 1P for Horror Of Dracula (1958). The seller had it listed for $5500.00 / obo.

He took a best offer, accepting $2K less and selling it for $3500.00

I'm a likely buyer for this poster, in unrestored condition, but of course at a fair price.
I would buy that poster if it was priced right unrestored but I wouldn't buy  that restored poster for my collection at any price.
(aside from I'm not looking even for a nice copy restored. I only want an unrestored copy)

But to be fair, (aside from the fact the $4.1K price was high) your desire to collect only non linen may not be a hard and fast rule for other collectors.

Way to totally misstate what I "believe", Rich.

Where do print ads come from?  Pressbooks.  If there are print ads available then we *do* have evidence (albeit circumstantial) of the original pressbooks.  All evidence indicates that "Marihuana" started in the west, then worked it's way east through 1936. 

I now know that 'your' window card is also from '36, but later in the year, so yes, it is first release but second printing.

Why you're saying that I don't believe the long haired version is from the '40s is a mystery since that's what I suggested to *you*, despite your being convinced it was '30s.

That said, whoever got that "Marihuana" got a great deal.

Peter,

I happened to trip across your web page about this poster a while back. Great information and a fascinating read.

Thanks for doing so much research and publishing your information online.

It's so helpful for anyone to be able to rely on proper information, especially when looking to buy or locate a version of this poster.

 cheers

Peter, you are incorrect in what I'm saying and also what I said in our email conversations.

no one, including you, has any real proof in what order any of the original posters were printed. No one has any evidence that Pacific Show Print posters were first, second, or 100th. The proof doesn't exist. When I said pressbooks and ads, it means pressbooks or ad sheets, not newspaper printed ads. No advertising materials exist or are known by anyone I have ever spoken to. Therefore it is impossible to flatly state that PSP or other posters are before other posters. The variety of images even for what people believe are original release items is no help, and like a number of other people I know, we do not agree with your declaration that the PSP poster or any other is the #1 from which sprang the rest. Your research is cool, but there just isn't enough to make the statement that the PSP poster is first. We don't know, and will probably never know as there is a pretty good likelihood that the advertising materials (pressbooks or ad sheets) no not exist and may have never existed for an exploitation film of this nature.

The loing hair version I said in our emails was sometime between 1939-early or mid 40s and no later. You said it was 1950s and I disagreed.

when teh day comes you find the exact images - not near images - published anywhere, I'll listen to that. Until then, all there is in conjecture and conjecture doesn't win prizes.

$5,500 is obscene for this poster.  $3,500 is more like it, but still too high, IMO.  Although this one is in great condition.  This is a great poster, for sure.  The photograph's angle doesn't convey its beauty.

never said otherwise David. I stopped buying linenbacked posters for the most part due to being a "purist" and from a lack of interest in restored materials, which is a hold-over from being in the comics biz for years where restoration is 1) rampant and 2) often not disclosed. It's just a personal preference. I've had many opportunities to buy a Blue Dahlia 1sh on linen over the last 20 years.. I wouldn't do it. I'm a patient collector and I also have a perspective that "I would like to own it, but if I never do it doesn't really matter anyway". It's pragmatism. I waited until a copy that was not backed or restored came up for sale at Heritage again just last November and I won that copy. I can wait for an unrestored copy of DI, and if I never get one.. it's no skin off my nose.

Keep in mind, I completely understand that sometimes you have no choice due to a rarity. If you want a Dracula 1sh from 1931, a minority of them are raw copies. On the other hand, if a poster is not rare, wait for a raw copy. Down the road, raw will be worth more than restored on that kind of poster

Those are not easy to come by, for sure.  It took me a whole year to assemble the entire collection of Noël's Hammers (all folded, mint condition).  I really like them.  The large red Mummy has become the most elusive one of the lot.  I had to use all by connections to get that one, and bribe.  The two Brides of Dracula are Koutachys, but they belong in the series, IMO.

Never suggested you did (say otherwise)

I understand your thought process however my logic (flawed as it may be), says says I'd rather own that (rare/hard-to-get) poster now and if it's on linen so be it. If my preference is not on linen when one comes up in the future, grab it and then flip the linen-backed. Rule of thumb suggests rare linen will increase in value just as much as non-linen.

Each to his own, whose to say who is right, I was certainly not suggesting you were not...

I have and will do so on rarities. When I got my Murder My Sweet half sheets the first time, the Style-A was paperbacked. I displayed the style-B (it's right next to my desk where I am sitting now where I can reach out and touch it) and the A is in a drawer. The half sheets are among the more difficult posters to get on the title. Later, when an unbacked style-A was offered, I bought that to replace the paperbacked one. Unfortunately, someone spit a loogie at the damn thing in it's past & you can see it, so I'll probably have to replace that in the future - if I can! I now have 3 of the 5 half sheets I've ever seen, so I'm not holding my breath on finding another and at $1000+ a pop, I might make other choices.

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on February 28, 2013, 10:28:25 PM
actually, that is most certainly how it works on some level Chris, especially with these older titles where the audience is shrinking and unlike modern posters where the audience is increasing. There are curves and valleys as well as peaks. But even for modern posters it happens.

I sold a Mighty Aprhodite DS Doorbell style for $89. in 2008. At that time, I had a few requests and sold others. When I auctioned my next copy however, several had already been sold on ebay & elsewhere and the price kept deteriorating and now it is a $3.00 poster because when there are none around, they go for alot, as more copies get sold in to short a period of time (and that time varies from one title to the next) and the market gets exposed (which usually means more are sold than the market has real buyers) prices either go up or down depending on the title. The next Dracula in the boat 1sh that comes up will not be priced against the $310,000 sale to DeLuca, it will be measured by the $143,000 sale more recently. That doesn't mean it will only be $143k, but it will be used as a measure. That measure devalued to some degree the $310,000 sale. Market affect

Star Wars is immune to devaluation it seems because it has a large, but if 100 copies of a Style-C are sold by auction in 2013, it will also tumble in price because there won't be 1000 people willing to pay top price.

also Chris, if you look at the bid histories, the 2nd & 3rd bidders last time were the 2nd & 3rd bidders this time, both of whom had bid well in excess of $145 last time. so even the likely bidders backed off - that is a bad sign. It means they also lack the confidence in the poster's price.

the reality is in between. another copy in 4 weeks and see how far it tumbles then. That one will really have a negative impact

but to add again. the presence of the 2 underbidders from last time should really say it.. THEY are the most likely buyers, but their interest has obviously waned. It says alot.

The main issue is that just because you bought a poster for a set amount doesn't mean it is now automatically worth that amount.  You have to find a buyer willing to pay at least what you paid.

And whether 100 of a poster come on the market or 10 - if 100 of the poster exist somewhere and are put up for sale at any point the market WILL correct itself over time.  You are just seeing a more accelerated price correction that's all.

Obviously with your stockpile of Pulp Fictions you are playing it safe for your own best interests while YOU hold all those posters.  But once you've sold them all they will all be "in the market" and less and less scarce.  Of course by then you'll probably have washed your hands and maximized your sales.  But not every seller has 5+ years to slowly release an inventory of the same poster.

wait a second.. I think the Poster Police on this board would disagree with alot of what you said. You are correct that collectibles only have value when being sold (my Raymond Chandler collection may as well be worthless. I can't get a bank loan, and it's the last collection I will sell, presuming I don't just leave it to an institutional collection in my will), however what something has sold for in the past is a measure of value - at least within a certain market. What Christies gets in London has no meaning to the overall market, but when something is sold by the known poster dealers or auctioneers, that has meaning.

I only sell posters as the market can bear, or only as many as I can deal with. I don't have a general retail list available and I only do 15,000 listings via the auctions (a little less in 2013). I have garbage posters that I don't sell any faster or slower than I sell PF. But I'm also not the only person that has quantities of posters and I had to split the Miramax deal in half with a partner who did dump his into the market foolishly. He did everything foolishly though and has pretty much lost it all because of that, now being broke and out of business.

but more to the point, especially on rolled moderns, qty stock is very common except on the rarest posters because they generally print way more than ever get distributed

Those are not easy to come by, for sure.  It took me a whole year to assemble the entire collection of Noël's Hammers (all folded, mint condition).  I really like them.  The large red Mummy has become the most elusive one of the lot.  I had to use all by connections to get that one, and bribe.  The two Brides of Dracula are Koutachys, but they belong in the series, IMO.

Scrap Iron is a great poster...this collection of boxing material is really excellent..there has been several lobby cards I've never seen before that were auctioned by this seller..kind of a shame to break it up really..I have done some research and there are no recent results for some of these pieces so ..these almost certainly have been in a private collection for decades...sigh...I thought about this piece...but..I had to suck it up and get the two best cards he has offered so far..anyone want to guess what they were???

absolutely seller fedexit is selling a fantastic single-subject and the Scrap Iron poster a great image for the subject matter. I had a snipe setup, but I didn't win that poster.

I was collecting boxing as part of my gambling collection, but after getting a certain amount of material and only interested in that sliver dealing with gambling, I've pretty much stopped adding the boxing material, though a poster of this nature is a great representative piece. I'm pretty sure I know exactly who won it.. I'll have to ask him.

it's a great boxing poster and there won't be many posters that top it

1) a poster of this kind, which can be found if you're patient, isn't worth buying in lower grade

2) it is more difficult to restore modern-era poster with the gloss.

just wait for a nice copy and don't collect like a voracious bear who's been in hibernation and hasn't eaten for 6 months

It looks like the south end of a northbound horse.  But to ask if its worth spending $1?  I would never spend a dollar to add that poster to my collection.  However, as evidenced by that auction, at $1, it would probably yield a 10,000% return on investment. Even if it "only" went for $50, that's still a 5000% return.  Now, I know you are anti-poster selling T, but you do that enough times and you can finance a pretty nice poster.

Actually, this poster is much rarer than Rich states, especially if you want it rolled.  I bought a couple for $300 in 2004 in absolute mint rolled condition and I haven't seen more than one a year since, if at all.  I usually don't care about rolled vs folded, but because of its dark colors, it is one poster you want to buy rolled.  Even if you linenback it, the folds are hard to hide because of the gloss.

Mike.. two things
1) a poster of this kind, which can be found if you're patient, isn't worth buying in lower grade
2) it is more difficult to restore modern-era poster with the gloss.

All great advice that I need to follow more often.
re: 1) Patience, patience, patience. I keep grinding that into my brain. And I never try to settle, I always try to find the best pieces that I can afford. In this case it was a spur of the moment find and a lack of research on my part to actually see how faded it was. Afterwards I was actually having non-buyers relief. :)
re: 2) makes sense and having never had resto done, I think I'm fooling myself as to the cost. besides, I prefer the paper be 'pure', if possible, so again, patience for a nice piece is key.

That was part of the reason for my jump, but at the cost of my usual condition and valuation research.
I agree about desiring rolled for darker colored items. There are 2 on my list right now that I've restrained myself from buying folded because of this (that I know I can obtain rolled).
Thanks for the advice!

I do have a poster bought long ago in need of resto - only 1 I can think of in my collection. I plan on hitting up Dario at some point to restore it. Need to dig it out first.

Sad thing is I was an active collector about 10 years ago. I've been on a very long hiatus for various reasons, thus the 'making up for lost time' remark. It'll wear off. :)
I'll be the first to admit, though, that based on some of my questions and remarks lately you wouldn't know it. Guess I've been away from it too long and need to get back into the correct mindset. Right now I'm like a 35 year old kid in a candy store - I know better, but I eat it all anyways.

Harry and I are together on this one. This showed up the day before the auctions were created, and I saw it and said, "Hold the auctions, we have one more to add" and the guys were looking at me like "You've made extra work for us for THIS?" but I had a gut feeling about this poster!

I was the winner on the one that sold for $171.  8)  It was the lowest that any of the first releases has sold for at emovie.  I was and still am stoked that I won it.  I'm not a real completist, but Mad Max is one of those movies that the art from several different countries is unique and cool in its own way, and the film is a classic.  When I was going through some of my stuff to sell, as I'm starting to focus on certain formats, themes, etc., I sent some daybills away, but I couldn't part with this one.  8)

It is simple math.

$15,000 give or take = a regular Sunday auction

$25,000 give or take = a regular Tuesday or Thursday auction

$250,000 give or take = a Mini/Major auction

$1,000,000 give or take = a Major auction

If the right collection comes along as a nucleus, I will have my 20th Major auction.

Until then, I am happy with exactly what I am doing!

 Bruce, I don't think anybody was attacking you.  I am thrilled that you do so well, because I want to see you get more and more material that competes/surpasses what is offered at other notable poster auctions.

  As your M/M auctions continue to improve in quality and quantity, then the hidden gems become more hidden and the bidding wars become more numerous. I am excited about the high bids you recieve, because that encourages more collectors to consign quality items.  All of this playful bickering amongst hobbyist is a sign of your success and is not an attack.

Post by: Bruce on March 08, 2013, 09:33:36 AM
I did not take it as an attack in the slightest. I was merely explaining the distinctions between my different types of auctions.

I quit the major auction business some years ago for a variety of reasons, and as I said, the only thing that would cause me to return to that model would be a consignor who (for some reason) preferred their collection sold all at once, rather than over time.

When you compare my results in mini/majors to other "major" auctions (where we have the same items) I think that for the most part we get better results, which affirms for me that offering too much at once can overwhelm the bidders. In the days of live auctions it made sense to not make people travel to four auctions a year and only have one giant one, but in this Internet age there are great advantages to splitting them up over a year's time.

I too hope that our fine results on more "expensive" items will encourage more people to consign more of those items to us!

"Attack" was the wrong word choice.  I should have used "negative."  I don't see last night's results as a negative, either in terms of the bidder's bids or the prices acheived by your company.

I don't either. While there WERE many great results, there also WERE 400 items in the first three parts that went for between $1 and $40 each. Some of these were great bargains, and some were not worthy of a mini/major.

The NSS info had a different layout from all known copies I could find.  When I asked her to confirm the dimensions she found out today that it was only 27x40.  The seller then told me she that she couldn't end the auction (<24 hours) at that point, but that she would have a friend bid on it so no one else would win it.  However, given the rarity of a real rolled Taxi Driver I can imagine her friend might have not bid high enough! 

Anyway, looks like it will be canceled regardless.

A few of her images show a lot of reflected bounce back from her camera flash.

My folded copy is on thin semi-gloss 70s/early 80s stock.  Definitely not glossy.  This one looked wrong from the beginning to me, but I don't think the seller was trying to fool anyone.

I emailed her as well advising her that she was showing images of the reprint and that the dimensions of the poster were almost certainly 27 x 40. She later confirmed that it was indeed 27 x 40 and told me she would cancel the auction.

These kinds of stories and outcomes are great to read, as they show that some sellers may not know what they have, but, more importantly, will revise or remove an auction in order not to scam or fool anyone. (Hopefully, this happened here, too).

I believe that is correct. I have done the same. I'm assuming that they are consistent for a given auction (eg, a***o is always the same bidder), but not between auctions.

How would these extra stamps affect the poster from a valuation standpoint?
And how would that work with DS posters?
Just curious. It would be interesting to see, though. I always enjoy seeing all the stamps in a passport. Imagine the travels and hands that some of the older posters might have been through.

Yeah, that's one thing I've always wondered. Bearing in mind when the interweb launched.   How come there's so many Quads in the U.S.? How did they get there? They must have been moved over there when collecting posters was in it's early days, or before...  Most odd.

It WOULD be incredible if EVERY poster had a "passport" with it, that showed EVERYONE who ever owned it or sold it, and also pre-restoration images if it is restored.

What stories posters could tell!

That would have been great, had previous owners placed a small mark or stamp on the back.much like owners of fine art do in many cases. Then a real time line or chain of ownership and restoration (if any) could be established.

I know who the seller is, but even if it's not on consignment, it doesn't explain why the original poster believed this was from their collection rather than one of the thousands of items they have for sale at their store.
I certainly don't believe every pressbook I purchase from Emovieposter is from Bruce's collection, or every item i buy from Movieposterbid is from Rich's collection. Why is this different?

Well you'd need to make a distinction between what is part of a collection and what isn't.  If Rich has a whole stack of Belgians that he owns (not on consignment) that he is auctioning are they not technically part of his "collection" as a whole until they are sold?  I have posters earmarked strictly to sell at some point but right now they are sitting firmly in my "collection".

If Borst is selling it (not on consignment) there is an argument it's part of his collection until it's sold...

silly argument Chris. while I do sell pieces from my collection, the 15,000 posters I sold last year except for an infintessimal percentage never had any plans of relaxing on a chaise lounge in my vault. It's the difference between my collection and my "stock". Sean was right to question the statement as by itself it could be false information giving people the idea that Ron Borst is selling out, which doesn't serve the hobby (or Ron) in the slightest.

silly argument Chris. while I do sell pieces from my collection, the 15,000 posters I sold last year except for an infinitesimal percentage never had any plans of relaxing on a chaise lounge in my vault. It's the difference between my collection and my "stock". Sean was right to question the statement as by itself it could be false information giving people the idea that Ron Boast is selling out, which doesn't serve the hobby (or Ron) in the slightest.

Is Borst a collector or a dealer?  Can someone be - gasp! - both?  Does he have a collection or stock?  Can words be used interchangeably contingent on point of view and context?

Can I trully have stock if I don't run an auction or own a brick + mortar or even an online store?

And how are you guys so certain it's not from his collection (or is that stock?).  And really who cares if it is or it isn't?!  He's obviously sold many items either from the collection or from the stock in the past...now I need a drink

Chris.. it's very simple.. mis-in-for-ma-tion

it's bad for the hobby, and could be bad for Ron

Mr "I Never Have Anything Original To Say" made a false statement. he was being asked why he said it. He doesn't answer it. His totality of information is what he can find on the internet or what he can invent. Another person looking for kudos for doing nothing.

personally, I think people should remark when information is false or unsupported. Sean obviously has the same feeling. We aren't alone.

I picked up the 3sh for this re-release a couple years back (although my copy is dated '49) - a little bland, but hey, it's Oz.  Now only it was from 10 years earlier  hitself

Nice 3sh, Stephen.  clap

It's interesting that the above OS says "Copyright 1948 Loew's Incorporated," even though the general re-release wasn't until June of 1949.

Maybe the OS were printed towards the end of 1948 for the following summer's run?

 Hey Jeff, yes, definitely odd.   Maybe one of the other historians of the group can address this discrepancy.   The only info I know of this poster is the large Garland image was reused from the '44 classic, 'Meet me in St. Louis'.

I know who the seller is, but even if it's not on consignment, it doesn't explain why the original poster believed this was from their collection rather than one of the thousands of items they have for sale at their store.
I certainly don't believe every pressbook I purchase from Emovieposter is from Bruce's collection, or every item i buy from Movieposterbid is from Rich's collection. Why is this different?

It was simple.

All I did was ask Ron the question. And he confirmed the insert was from his "collection."

I do research and like many others here, try to be as accurate as possible.

 No need to defend yourself. Disposable income is just that.  Why wait a year or two to save a whopping $20?  That is were I run afoul with the APF Price Police.  I paid 1500 for the PF advance, when the next highest price was 1250 linen.

 Who cares? I own it, and not another one in comparable condition has popped in the last 6 months.  Same holds true for the Int. Matrix.  Might the next one sell for 200 less sure, might it sell for more- maybe.  Do I own it today- Yes.   ;D

Post by: movieposters on March 20, 2013, 07:26:57 PM
I love analyzing what drives collectors to purchase movie memorabilia.  For me personally I try to rationalize my spending by looking at my collection as a whole as a sound investment.   But if I look at each individual purchase, I have to face the fact that much of what I purchase is not an investment, it's just what I want (or maybe what I think I need).

When it comes to $51 items, that's disposable.  When you drop a few grand on ha.com's signature auctions, not so much.   My willingness to purchase high ticket items comes from the story I tell myself, and that's something around I (or family) are not doing without,  it's better then blowing $$ on household items or other toys that will have no value after I make the purchase, and it fulfills some inner need I have as means to escape from the daily grind of life.

Most of us work hard, commit to whatever needs arise with our families, and live a busy and often chaotic life with nonstop responsibilities.   I see my collecting as downtime which is unique and somewhat defines who I am.   

My wife likes to vacation, a couple of my good friends are avid hunters, my kids (young) are obsessed with mechanical pencils and crafts.   I play tennis (lately, poorly) and collect movie memorabilia, and yes, sometimes don't make sound decisions (see photo below).   

Overall, it creates a balance in life that keeps me going.

I love analyzing what drives collectors to purchase movie memorabilia.  For me personally I try to rationalize my spending by looking at my collection as a whole as a sound investment.   But if I look at each individual purchase, I have to face the fact that much of what I purchase is not an investment, it's just what I want (or maybe what I think I need).

When it comes to $51 items, that's disposable.  When you drop a few grand on ha.com's signature auctions, not so much.   My willingness to purchase high ticket items comes from the story I tell myself, and that's something around I (or family) are not doing without,  it's better then blowing $$ on household items or other toys that will have no value after I make the purchase, and it fulfills some inner need I have as means to escape from the daily grind of life.

Most of us work hard, commit to whatever needs arise with our families, and live a busy and often chaotic life with nonstop responsibilities.   I see my collecting as downtime which is unique and somewhat defines who I am.   

My wife likes to vacation, a couple of my good friends are avid hunters, my kids (young) are obsessed with mechanical pencils and crafts.   I play tennis (lately, poorly) and collect movie memorabilia, and yes, sometimes don't make sound decisions (see photo below).   

Overall, it creates a balance in life that keeps me going.   


Very well put.

I wish - long story so I'll give the 'readers digest' version...

Was at Cinevent last year - good friend who is a dealer had this 3sh.   He's from NYC with prices to match (to quantify, think prices aligned to Greece's national debt).

I thought I'd have a good day at the auction Saturday but not so much.  Now it's Sunday, day before Memorial Day and final day where most of the dealers wrap up.

Don't want to go home without a sci fi 3sh so I cave - shell out full asking price.   Realize afterwards I confused my price review with a 'The Blob' 6sh he had so to put it lightly, I 'grossly' overpaid.  Anyway, serves me right for not doing my homework and glad it was a friend who benefited.

So from now on, he's bringing the good scotch.  Also, a large group of us go to a good steak restaurant every year so I intend to harass the sh*t out of him until he agrees to pick up my check.     woohoo

No way man.  You cannot hand carry an 85 inch tube onto a commercial airplane.  You'd have to trust it with the baggage handlers, and that is way riskier than the postal service or a private carrier.  Now, if he has his own plane, that would be a different matter.

No way man.  You cannot hand carry an 85 inch tube onto a commercial airplane.  You'd have to trust it with the baggage handlers, and that is way riskier than the postal service or a private carrier.  Now, if he has his own plane, that would be a different matter.

Also interesting to see the difference in pictures by PM and Heritage... Looks like PMs show no joining edge near the center right...  And why is Heritage's black.  I mean unless there were two of these posters with the exact same paper loss pattern...

Good catch.  Heritage gave it a 3.0 out of 10 score and said: "Prior to expert restoration, the poster had up to three inches of paper loss in the left and right sides going into the black background and credits, but not the image of Grable. The masterful work done to this piece has it in excellent display condition. Touch-up work has been done to the folds. Good/Very Good on Linen."

...realizing over the last few HA auctions I'm slowly drifting to the back of the catalog more and more.   Most items in the auctions today were a little out of my comfort zone considering condition.  There were a few that slipped by  - $650 + BP for a VF Night/Living Dead not too bad.

I received the 'you were high bid' message on HA Live on a Vertigo 1/2 only to realize a late bid came in that then restarted the auction.   

Liked this French Monroe piece but 1800 is a bit much...odd but something about the turquoise font that makes this one appealing.

I continue to amaze myself that I won this Motor Madness three sheet  (http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7072&lotNo=83749)for less than what they usually sell for. 

Very thankful that the previous winning bidder or under bidder didn't chase this up too high!!

THIS VICTORY PROVES YET AGAIN THAT I AM THE WORLD’S GREATEST MOVIE POSTER BUYER!

Congratulations Mel. It sure fits into your collection!

P.S.  JUST LOOKED OVER THE 999 ITEMS ENDING TONIGHT AND - FOR THE 598TH AUCTION IN A ROW - I SAW LOTS OF REALLY WILDLY UNDER-PRICED ITEMS. THE ONLY THING I CAN FIGURE IS THAT PEOPLE ARE EXTREMELY STUPID! DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!

Cool but of course the daybill is vastly superior.

Good catch. Of course, I bought this same poster for $7 from an obscure garage sale in Timbuktu and flipped it on Cinemasterpieces for $1,200 a month later. Just thought you should know that ;D

Meh. I don’t see Audrey on that poster.

Great poster. Of course if the liberal elite take over this country, it will be illegal to drive anything other than golf carts.  See this article on [link to nutjob website].

Hey Bruce, in all seriousness don't you agree that it's generally a "bad" investment to linen-back larger posters (like US three sheets, and French and Italian one and two panels)?  

I've picked up several good deals on larger posters from you and Heritage.  It's likely the linen-backing cost alone exceeded the recovery for the consignor.

Isn't the smarter strategy to wait and buy already-backed larger posters?

Yes. The only time to linenback a large poster is when you want to display it on your wall.

It is much like remodeling your kitchen. If you will be living there for ten years, it is well worth it, because you will love using that better kitchen. But if you will be moving in a year, then you shouldn't do it, because you won't get the money back when you sell your home, even though it looks better.

I though they did do very well over the weekend.

I am not a fan of the bp, the grading or the shipping pics but they do sell some good stuff.  I buy from em but only occasionally.  Not even close to how much I buy from Bruce or ebay.

I know it's fun to slag on Heritage, but it's not like they're hiding their enormous schlong.  The fucking should not be a surprise.  The BP is a real pain in the ass because now that they've got a location in Kollyforniah I'm also stuck with a 10% sales tax (I know you UKers are all "Ten percent?  Boo hoo!"), so all my bids have to factor in a 30% reduction which makes me completely uncompetitive.

Still, their huge 'nads attract paper most of us would never even see, so I don't begrudge them making a living.

I agree with Peter.. nothing is hidden and so there is no foul. I sold some stuff in the auction myself and am thrilled with the results which even after the BP & sellers fee is involved is likely still more than I would have gotten if I had consigned my items elsewhere and not by a small margin.

I've consigned with eMovie, HA and MPB and I've been happy with all three.  I have some fixed price stuff listed with MPE, but I haven't tried consigning for auction yet... but I would definitely try them without hesitation as well.  We should be thankful we have so many different buying/selling options outside eBay!

Maybe if you add a splash of Bailey's or perhaps a spoonful of Membrillo to your tea?

The poster will then become more appealing, maybe.  ;D

If that went for that much cash, what about the poster that preceded it?

(http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu12/brude2000/CONANADVANCE.jpg)

Since the 80s, this undersized one sheet has been the poster associated with Cannes.
What gives?
BTW, beware of the bootlegs on Ebay.  I haven't seen a legit copy of this in years.

I love that Conan poster, but with the art on the French poster readily available for a $50 it makes zero sense to pay 2 grand for the US poster I dont care how rare it is.

I am shocked, by Crom!
You don't like Frazetta's most iconic Conan?
Frazetta painted the first version in 1966 for Conan the Adventurer, the first paperback edition (Lancer) of the RE Howard stories that hadn't been seen or read since the 30s.
That piece of art singlehandedly introduced the character to a whole new generation of fans.
He then repainted it in 1974 for the Sphere paperback reprints.
It is also the art that convinced DeLaurentis to make the movie.
This poster has been swiped and stolen by thousands of artists over the years and it has inspired even more.

I'm sorry.
I get taken aback a bit when someone scorns the Master's work.
I'll stop now...
 cheers

here we go.. these are some of the Frazetta paintings I have sold. there are a couple others. The Uncle Creepy portrait was the only one I actually displayed at home at any time, though the others had graced my offices back in Cincinnati when I lived there and had my gallery. The Conan portrait was a special piece doen for Armand Eisen back in the 1970s when he was publisher of Ariel and a good friend of Frank. It was the only Conan painting in anyone's possession until Kirk bought the paperback cover. I sold that one for $35k in 1991.

you're welcome Randy.. the biggest % I made was on the Uncle Creepy.

I bought a piece of art for $500 and after a while I traded it to Russ Cochran for a 1945 Superman Sunday page by Wayne Boring, a 1934 Flash Gordon by Alex Raymond, a fourth item I don't recall and the Uncle Creepy painting. It was about $18,000 in total trade at the time (1989). I had the Creepy on my wall at home for months until I got an offer I couldn't refuse ($17,500). The other items sold for $6000 (Superman) $25,000 (Flash Gordon) and I just can't remember that other item... big profit for the original purchase, which was a Carl Barks Donald Duck cover from 1951 called Christmas for Shacktown that I had found and was never seen before (rescued from a dumpster by the guy who sold it to me)

Frazetta used a wide variety of materials. The Conan was on canvas board as was Gollum. the Blazing Combat cover had to be on paper (watercolor). I don't recall what the Creepy was on

oh.. I remember the 4th item. It was the art for this cover by Al Feldstein

(http://www.comic-art.com/temp/apf/shock8.jpg)

here is an old picture I took in my garage in 1994 (I took a whole bunch of pictures like this for an ad)
I still have several of these items, though the vast majority of my collection of art I disbursed from 1993-now. you can see a Frazetta Johnny Comet at right and a small sketch in a black mat to the left of the JC

Boris V does nothing for me either, but I`m being honest.
I can however understand why others do,I appreciate the talent,It`s just not for me.

This is a question for our resident art expert T.
Is this an original? If so, wasn't the price extremely cheap?

Very funny, Matias.

I suppose it's a joke, so I will humor you...

1.  It looks nothing like a Monet.  Pastel colors and imagery are wrong.
2.  Monets don't sell on Ebay.
3.  A real Monet of this caliber would be worth at least $10,000,000 at auction.

fleaBay has become the forgery depot and not just for Gucci bags.

99.9% of all autographs on fleaBay are forgeries with a great percentage of them done by a guy we call "the Valley Forger" (as in  Valley Girl). Incredibly, he has neither been arrested nor investigated to my knowledge and his fraud is at least as big as Haggards in dollar value. The key is that he moves on, to another city, like Las Vegas.

Original comic art.. you can find a variety fo Charles Schulz, Berke Breathed, Frazetta, Joe Shuster, Bob Kane and many others at all times... Jack Kirby also.

You can find forgeries by Picasso, Dali... you can find any kind of forgery you want, on fleaBay.

it should be a commercial for fleaBay with a song written by Arlo Guthrie..
"you can find forgeries you want on Donnelly's fleaBay site.
You can find forgeries you want, on fleaBay oh yeah that's right.
Just log on with your tablet app, you can spend your money on all kinds of crap.

The sad thing is that you don't have to be an expert in Monet to know that this is not a Monet.  Whoever painted this did not even try.  Like I always say, do your research.  A few minutes on the internet.  It's not that hard.

Here's a hint...  Ask yourself if the couple walking in the forest is dressed like late 1800 France?  That blue sweater, the pink dress, yeah, it screams Impressionism.

Thierry.. I believe it's a little different for you and I than it is for the vast majority of other people. First of all, we've both been exposed to Monet originals in the flesh which most people have not. I spent lots of time at the Metropolitan, at museums in San Diego, Chicago, Cincinnati as well as my native NYC where paintings of this nature are always exhibited. Add that both of us are students of art and I studied the Impressionists heavily (my favorite "easel" art forms #1 American art 1700-1950 #2 Impressionists). It takes experience for the eye to know what it's looking at. How the artist holds his brush, makes his stroke and even what kind of brushes & media the artist used. That's why the first time someone showed me a forgery of a Margaret Brundage "Weird Tales" pulp cover pastel I started laughing when he was holding it up more than 100 feet away (it was done in oils) and why I was never the victim of many Frazetta forgeries I had been offered (and these were good). You and I have the eye for this material specifically and I'll explain something one of my good friends (an art & music teacher) told me when I saw him in November and we went to his classroom where he showed me his student's work (and his). to wit, he explained that every one of his students believes they are going to be great, but only a very small few will ever be even good and that the vast majority will never be able to understand what kind of inner talent in art & eye & mind they need to get there

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on April 01, 2013, 05:40:27 PM
btw Thierry, while for the most part it does not look like a Monet, adjust your view a little. What it looks like is that the forger is a big fan of Monet's final phase, the Water Lillies period, where he was using those broader strokes. But clearly the artists was not a student of Monet's complete body of work as he would have then understood how Monet's work had changed in this period and that he didn't put people in his paintings during this phase. He also clearly does not understand that for all the color Monet used that Monet muted his colors somewhat. This piece looks like the artist is merging the influence of Monet & Van Gogh

Post by: eatbrie on April 01, 2013, 06:03:00 PM
Really Rich?  First you go telling me that most people can't tell the difference between what's real or not, and then you follow it by describing the artist's brush stroke?  It's one or the other.  Personally, I don't think this piece is worth analyzing.  I have seen tons of counterfeits in my lifetime, and yes, subject matter, brush strokes, muted colors and time periods do apply, but this is not one of them.  I don't even know why we're commenting on this.  It's a slow day, I guess.

Something that I forgot to mention from the seller's description, I love this: "It doesn't have the certication, sold as it is"  What "certication"?  ;)  This made me laugh.

One of the most important aspect of a piece of art is its provenance, who's owned it, private party, gallery, museum, who sold it, Drouot, Sotheby's, Christie's, when, how many times did it go to auction, the framer, whoever did the backing, etc...  Over a 100 years, you can imagine that it can amount to a lot.  A piece of art has a life, a past and a future, and it is almost as important as the art itself, sometimes even more important.  I sold a couple things recently.  One of the buyers was on the fence about a particular piece, not sure whether he really wanted it or not, arguing about the price.  Its provenance made the difference.  So even if I had not seen the art, reading "It doesn't have the certication, sold as it is" would be enough to indicate that it is nothing.

Thierry is 100% correct. It would be exceedingly rare for an unknown piece to surface though on occassion a piece will resurface that has niot been seen for decades and whose location was unknown. On pieces by artists such as Monet, except for Nazi booty as yet to be located, one coming to market would have a source and great fanfare.

as to the first part of your response, did even read my post into it's context you pinhead??

What makes this interesting is that this is also the same seller that sold that fake Monet painting that was discussed on the board a couple days ago. In looking at his other recent sales, he also sold what he claimed is a signed oil painting by Joan Miro. Crude in execution and it just looks all wrong. And it also has no "certication." Yet someone still shucked out $380.00 for it.  :P

Matias, i know.

He also has/had some cool looking, original lobby cards, as well.. but he was selling other things, too, like watches, clocks etc.

So why get involved in selling people known fake oil paintings? Seems an oddball mix.

Funny, the pro-ignorance forces won't stop crying about AuctionZip being "revealed" to this forum, even though every dealer and many collectors already knew about it.  Maybe they should spend more time actually looking for bargains instead of blubbering on. This linen-backed Yellow Submarine Italian two panel - yes that's a ginormous 55"x78" - sold for a mere $322 last night.  You buy a hanger from PosterHanger.com for $50, hang it up, and you've got a fantastic conversation piece.  I was stupid stupid not to bid, but I just have bought too much lately:

Rosa, it was a great price at $2300 and a gift at $1800. It's a tough poster to find and it was priced in the $1800 range 15 years ago. The Haggard scandal has definitely taken a toll on Uni-horror, not just because people are afraid of the stuff and don't have the information, but because a number of Uni-horror collectors have been stung and aren't buying the same way now. A poster like this, unbacked, for which there is no doubt it is authentic, should not have had such a price drop, especially not from a trusted seller. It's a perfect example of how the Haggard scandal continues to hurt the hobby, presuming people are paying attention and recognizing that this is a result of that fraud.

just got to my warehouse & did a check (45 mins later)... Heritage did sell a copy in 2011.

Funny, the pro-ignorance forces won't stop crying about AuctionZip being "revealed" to this forum, even though every dealer and many collectors already knew about it.  Maybe they should spend more time actually looking for bargains instead of blubbering on. This linen-backed Yellow Submarine Italian two panel - yes that's a ginormous 55"x78" - sold for a mere $322 last night.  You buy a hanger from PosterHanger.com for $50, hang it up, and you've got a fantastic conversation piece.  I was stupid stupid not to bid, but I just have bought too much lately:


Maybe if some people spent more time looking for a girlfriend than stupidly buying too many posters they would have someone to discuss a 'conversation piece' with?   :-*

Actually, displayed movie posters ARE great conversation starters.  Every single person - even the femmes - who walks into my office starts talking about them. The typical federal employee is not too beautiful - mostly a bunch of overweight 40s/50s schlubs - but one of the most beautiful women I've ever met runs one of my agency's programs. She came into my office the other day to acquire my usual brilliant and incisive legal advice.  She said "I noticed your posters and you should read this article in Vanity Fair about Pulp Fiction." We started talking about the hobby and movies. (Like most people, she assumes that I actually watch movies and doesn't understand why I consider them an "art" collection.) Too bad she's married with kids but I'm angling to ask "so do you have any single friends...."

I guess i must be lucky then, I only met my current girlfriend about 4 months ago and already i have convinced her to hang some posters in her own house...only doubles that i can afford to lose (just in case :P) she got them framed herself... she's got tons of empty wall space. No way i could hide my crazy with all the collections i have so i had to find an equally crazy partner  :P

Most of them encouraged it, saying if that's what makes you happy, as long as we're not suffering financially because of it. In fact 3 or 4 of them regularly
went to auctions and film fairs with me, quite often at auction bidding more than I wanted them too, but they were having fun.... ;)   

I've never known any Girls/Ladies who have been against it, so I'm guessing they are not the norm.......or just don't love you enough!

of the reception rooms as my Home Cinema. My only stipulation is she didn't want the house looking like a Museum, or gallery, but neither did I. Then she goes and puts 3 posters up in the front room....Go figure.

It looks like it was more quickly cobbled together by Realart (from an image/artistic POV) but still, it is from one of the classic Uni horror films.  8)

Here's what some female visitors to my apt have said:

(1) "OK for a bachelor's apartment."

(2) "Your posters are creepy and I'm tired of you being broke all the time.  You have to choose between me or them."  (That relationship ended quickly.  She was Russian and obsessed with material wealth and moved on to some sugar daddy.)

(3) "When you told me about it, I thought it was weird but now I think it's cool."

(4) "A visual assault! Better warn your guests ahead of time!"

no offense to any women, but in my many years & many women, I have found that while they like my stuff to some degree, the fact that it is money that is not "invested" or money to buy a new couch and bedroom suite is always a negative to them. I met my ex at a comic book convention and even she complained about it even though she regularly went to conventions with me and helped me sell (if you can call it help). I always told it my art collection was our investment. She always had some snide remark about it

Years later, after we had been divorced for some years and during one of her annual trips from Cincinnati to visit me at Cinevent in Columbus (where she's from and yes, we have a good relationship) we were talking to Kelly Demaio and Kelly asked my ex what she was doing for her retirement.. her answer?.... "Richard's collection was supposed to be our retirement"

one day I'll figure out women.. Probably be my last moment when I say "ah.. that's it!" and breath out..

I think both are a little correct. Beauty of course is in the eye of the beholder and yes you could buy what you consider to be much much nicer posters for $1800, but you could also buy a lot worse (i.e. daybills). As for rarity, I think we already know that it's not how many they printed, it's how many survived and even more important how is the demand compared to the number that survived.
Demand for original material from the Mummy is of course high among horror collectors and really for the $1800 this one-sheet sold for, yes you could easily get an original herald from the film (when they surface), but it most likely would not even get you a decent shape dead scene lobby card. This Realart release was the only re-issue of the film, so for 99% of the people who are interested in obtaining something from the Mummy they will have to settle for something from Realart.

But you would be surprised how rare some of the Realart material can be. When I first started collecting, a lot of horror collectors snubbed their noses at Realart material as it was worthless re-release junk, but time has proven that not only is some of the Realart material quite rare, but that it can actually be better than the original release material.
And a reminder that the Realart material is older today than the Universal originals were when I started collecting.

Using House of Dracula again as an example and look at Bruce's archives - he has only sold 4 individual lobby cards from the Realart release of House of Dracula in the past 20 years (and two of those were laminated). That's half a set in 20 years out of a couple million items sold.
One of those four cards was this fantastic scene card of the Frankenstein monster:
(http://www.emovieposter.com//images/moviestars/AA121028/550/lc_house_of_dracula_2_R50_NZ06490_L.jpg)
To me, this card is better than any original release House of Dracula scene card and probably the best Glenn Strange monster scene.

Or take this card from Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man:
(http://emovieposter.com//images/books/vhp8_wb_550/550/lc_frankenstein_meets_the_wolf_man_4_R49.jpg)
When I purchased this from Bruce's auction nearly a decade ago, people said I was crazy for paying a record price for a Realart scene card.
But to me it is a top 5 Universal scene card and is the ONLY scene card (original release or Realart) to show two monsters in the same scene and I proudly display it on my wall amongst some original cards (thanks Bruce).
I would love to complete my Realart lobby set on Captive Wild Woman, I've upgraded my original release set to all beautiful mint cards, but I can't even find the missing cards from the Realart set to complete it in any condition.

This poster sold for $500.00

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-ORIGINAL-HOLLYWOOD-MOVIE-POSTER-Tom-Tyler-THE-PHANTOM-OF-THE-WEST-USA-/251254611270?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=VOPMNTs0cmFSTAS7QpmoSEnSBuI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I had written this seller, asking about the poster dimensions alone (not including the frame) and they wrote back, saying the actual poster measured about 26 x 38.5

From the photo, it doesnt look like almost 3 inches was trimmed from either the top, bottom (or a combo of both). It's hard to tell.

So what was up with those HP advances for the last film?  The Harry Potter character advance went for nearly $600.  First time the image was offered on emovie, but are those advances going to be that hard to find?

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/sunday/200/harry_potter_and_the_deathly_hallows_part_2_teaser_harry_style_JC06836_L.jpg)


My understanding is that these one sheet character posters were printed in very small numbers for studio/promotional use and that the designs were intended to be used for an international theatrical banner campaign. I had four of the nine posters in this set already - Bruce did not auction the one featuring McGonagal - and I wanted to get the remaining ones. Unfortunately, I knew I would be on a plane when these auctions were ending. I was able to complete my set thanks to WrathofCan, who bid on my behalf and who took an executive decision to disobey my maximum bid instructions with regard to the above poster (much to my relief) and Holiday, who graciously agreed not to bid against me. Many thanks guys.

  Thanks for the clarification Mark.  As owner of the HP Azakban lenticular, it is nice to see a healthy interest in the series.  I am certainly in the camp that HP will be SW of the future generation. Of course, there are those who disdain any modern poster, especially the face driven variety.  wynk

I keep telling people that there are tons of great buys each time, and besides you can get 100 posters and only pay $11 U.S. shipping.

Here is absolute verification of that from one of the most respected and knowledgeable dealers!

This is a holdover from when U.S. shipping was dirt cheap. We would charge $11 U.S. shipping for one poster, and still only charge $11 U.S. shipping no matter how many posters you won.

But now that shipping keeps going up so much, we will have to switch to actual cost for everyone.

Charlie, $5 start bid or actual shipping doesn't matter. In either case, the person suffering is the seller. Everytime shipping goes up to the buyer, their bids go down reflecting their ultimate cost.

cardboard keeps going up. plastic bags, tape, printer paper, labor....... as mail order business, we are completely under siege.

Here's a really nice 1960sRR, French 1P, for The Day the Earth Stood Still. The buyer did the best offer option and got it for $325.00  thumbup

In looking at the large image, I didnt see any Visa de Censure number on the poster. Weren't these numbers applied to all French posters after 1961 or 1962, as a matter or course?

I see that Bruce sold the smaller affiche, with the same artwork as this, and that one was described as being from the 1970's. Is there a way to differentiate? Or would the printer's info be possibly be different?

I found your other thread that talked about Lalande at Wissous. So per your info, this was printed sometime after 1965.  thumbup

I just did a comparison of the bottom and top border info against one that HA sold and they are the same across the board. Looks like left and right adjustment are the same as well when comparing the print to the image for alignment.

I also compared with both that Bruce has sold and although I cannot read the text in the bottom border the alignment on the 60's version is towards the bottom edge whereas the 70's is aligned more towards the center or just above center in the border. Same for the text in the top border.

Based on these two pieces of information wouldn't that make this one a 60's and not a 70's?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on April 16, 2013, 04:51:17 PM
Late 60s is my guess.

Wissous is a city and 91 is a department.  France is divided in 100 departments.  91 is close to Paris.

Just because I am bored and it seems to help I did a side by side comparison shown below and with my admittedly limited knowledge of French posters in general based on the comparisons of known 60's, 70's and the ebay poster in question I would have to say that the ebay poster is in fact a 60's RR like the auction stated and not a 70's RR. Again my knowledge is limited to what I have before me to compare but I think it is a reasonable assumption here without knowing more.

Conclusion drawn using the comparisons below and with them noting the location and alignment of border text which is located towards the center of the borders in the 70's RR versions but towards the bottom in the 60's versions from Bruce and HA. I also when comparing noted that the borders are wider in the 70's versions than the 60's. This difference is due to the artwork being slightly smaller in the 70's print when compared to the 60's version.

This looks like a RR (possible 1950's offset?). It has a very similar look, in color and style, to the 1950s French 1P RR.

I noticed, too, in the ebay ad title, that the seller describes this as a poster from 1934......

Curious, since the movie itself wasn't released until Dec, 1936 in the US and not until 1937, in Austria.   ;)

Absolutely legit, but not a such a good deal.  I was the underbidder on 3 of the seller's posters.  Got a second chance offer on 2 after what appeared to be shill bidding on all of his auctions.  Needless to say I got a second chance offer on two of them and decided to bite - but used my CC for the Paypal.  Needless to say weeks went by without contact so I got the cc company to rescind.  Seller's "wife" finally contacts saying hubby is seriously ill and might be back in two weeks.  Did a little more digging and one of the posters photo was lifted from an Austrian museum, stain for stain.

Would still love to have them if they actually exist, but I'd be really surprised if they do.

hands-down the best poster on this title is the Personality Posters hand-screened 30x40
they did these by hand and they can range in size slightly by a couple inches or so upward, but are never under 30x40

the image is full bleed with only a title at bottom

I may have a copy in my Special Auction in June

Heritage has sold the poster once $3107

There is still a week left to consign, and if this auction gets any better, I will have to strongly consider dropping the "Mini" from its title!

A linen backed 3sh for BAT went for $3100.00

The seller provided before and after shots, which was a great way to show this. The top section was bought separately and shows some signs of some yellowing, which was explained. They also mention who did the restoration and backing. In this case, the work was done by Studio C.

Before auctioning muti-thousand dollar posters, it might be wise to find a way to photograph them head on (and marring the image with a large distracting website name that covers the best part of the poster might be a turn-off), but what do I know?

Huge fan here of 3's/6's but part of the pain of collecting backed material are the two, three or four sections that make up one poster often do not align properly when restored to linen or paper. 

One of those annoying poster problems of the printers not having the ability or proper equipment to be precise.  You see it more from the 30's/40's material then from the 60's/70's.

Hard to tell from the pic but I wouldn't be surprised if there was slight misalignment as even paper that was shipped together often does not align exactly.   I'd think posters made at different times would be more prone to this issue.

I always wondered if an incredibly talented restorer could 'stretch' or 'reduce' the paper when mounting for proper alignment of sections.  

Anyone out there wise to restoration have knowledge if this can be done?

Sure, a talented backer could likely compensate for this. They can stretch a sheet within limits. The time the wheat paste soaks into the paper affects its size (I think the longer it soaks, the bigger it gets). Though there may be problems not being able to stretch if the paper fiber direction in one sheet is different to the adjacent sheet as expansion is more in one direction (not sure which). There are little tricks with restoration to fix small misalignments anyway, with pencil and a little scratching.

I gu4ess I have some problems with this sort of discussion.  Once again, IMHO this is commercial paper and as such is subject ot these sort of imperfections.  They are part of what makes the poster   what it is.  I glory in displaying this sort of minor imperfection, the same way that my posters continue to show folds, pinholes , snipes and censor marks.  To me they help identify the poster and show that it was used for its intended purpose.  A poster that has been overrestored is ruined for me.  Why not just buy a high quality reprint?

that's great but most of us would get somewhat bored with this site if we all had the same opinion/beliefs so if you have problems with my, or any discussion, you can avoid the risk by not reading/responding to posts.   And, if you're so accepting to flaws and imperfections - you buy the high quality reprints, tear 'em up, fold them, throw in some pinholes, censor stamp or two, glue on some snipes, then you can display them, be able to identify with them, and have glory.

No offense taken Steven.  To each his own.

This is simply not the case for me, Mel.  Many, if not most of my posters on display have signs of use.  In some cases, there is considerable wear.  A lot of defects are edge damage, and this is either covered or greatly minimized by frames.  A lot of the rest is covered by the 5 foot test.  The poster displays well at 5 feet, but the defects can clearly be seen when you get close.

I probably wouldn't display something in really poor shape unless it was iconic.  However, I would personally prefer to display such a poster with defects than have it over restored and be displaying something that has lost its sense of history.

Again, this is just me and I can't afford to collect at Mel's or Brian's levels.  If restoring posters gives you joy, then go for it, but my strategy works for me at my more humble level.  I take pleasure in the fact that my collection is preserving history, not altering or erasing it.

In rough shape it is, buth the language is spanish Mel...
Probably an argentinean one sheet.



Mel, this is not Portuguese. Matias is right.

Aconteceu Naquela Noite will be the Portuguese title.  

Lo que sucedio aquella noche. This is Spanish, Latin America. No idea which country, but if Matias thinks it's Argentinian then i am sure it is

Sucedio una noche.  It is the Spanish, Castilian title....



So there you go....

yes that is an Argentine poster. The seller originally didn't have it listed correctly, leaving a possibility for it selling low. As it is, the poster sold fairly high for what it is and that can only mean one thing:

it will be restored with English text and title and resold in that fashion to someone for big bucks

The little I display is a reflection of my 'collecting accomplishments'.  If I have to look at it everyday, I want to feel good about, and if I can't feel good about it, I shouldn't have purchased it.    
    

the worst case I have seen of a misalignment is the Stagecoach 3sh (a copy of which Morrie Everett sold a few years back in Columbus). the incorrect print job is considerable and right through the title.

it is my opinion that seeing as it is difficult to stretch the paper to match (such a project would have a negeative effect down the line as the paper is ultimately a fragile fiber and the fibers would eventually break causing a crack or what we call "scaling" like with an oil painting that looks like a jigsaw puzzle with lots of cracking) the correct solution is probably to section the lower section (in the case of the Stagecoach) so that the letters properly align and to artfully fill in the missing areas between. On the poster shown above by Stephen, it is very easily accomplished seeing as there is no art surrounding the star's credits

to address something Mel said, indicating how older collectors don't care about misalignments and keep our stuff in boxes

well #1 it is impossible for most any collector - even small ones - to exhibit all their stuff. It's impossible for someone like myself to exhibit what would take a large museum to hold.

second, Mel, some people only collect to have cool things or like cool things etc.
Others, like myself, are historians. We collect the paper for different reasons. My collection of gambling themed posters - you realize that paper from before 1930 is very rare in almost all cases, so you take what you can get until the day comes (if ever) that you see it again.
I'm doing more photography of my collection shortly, I'll post some stuff that is nearly disintegrated. When I do my book, you can believe some pictured material will be in this condition

Although the text could be converted to English relatively easily, it would take quite a bit of work to transform the Spanish one sheet (which the seller claims is 28x41) into a perfect US English one sheet (27x41).  On close inspection the art is not the same.  Compare the blush on her left cheek in the Spanish version to the US version. The hair patterns are different.  The word "Claudette" on the Spanish version is all the way into the flowers. Many other small differences.

Here's a quick and crude Photoshop conversion:

Please leave it as an Argentine poster - Matias will be very upset otherwise!

I can somewhat understand Spanish language US posters being converted to English US posters but not a poster from another country (i.e. Argentina!) - as Mel points out the artwork is not the same.

Great color and overall condition.  bed1  And being from a lost film, paper is really the only remaining material for it (aside from stills that may exist).

The poster appears to be in really great unrestored condition.  I was thinking about bidding on this, but I figured it would go for higher.

The guy who made these fakes went to a printer in Belgium and asked him to make exact repros, but the printer refused. The guy asked the printer to put "Printed in Belgium" at the bottom because they WERE being printed there, and he agreed, and that has cost newbie collectors hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.

It was so much easier to so so, back when ebay posted the user ID of the winning bidder. And to even alert ebay of this fraudulent sale would do nothing.

One way to alert the buyer, would be once he leaves feedback (if he does). The buyer's ID is then visible. But at that point, it might be too late for the buyer to file a claim, depending on how long it takes for him to receive the poster and then leave potential feedback for this seller.  I just looked and the last feedback for this seller, as a seller, was back in 2007.  :-\

He doesn't but he also offers a 14 day return policy to the buyer.  There is also the 45 day ebay buyer protection time frame. If the buyer receives the poster and posts his feedback in a timely manner, he can then be alerted to his repro poster purchase and file a claim.

I was able to find the ID of the buyer and just wrote him a message thru ebay, explaining what he had purchased. I also included a url link to a supersize image of an authentic poster sold by Bruce, as well.

I told him that his poster/auction had come up in discussion on this forum and that it was a worthless reproduction. I also told the buyer that several messages had been sent to the seller from various members explaining that he had sold a cheap repro and that none of us had gotten any kind of response.

Lastly, I said that he needs to demand his money back.

I hope this buyer writes me back. I will keep the board updated.

If any others also want to write this buyer, and also alert him to the fact that he bought a worthless repro, (strength/validity in numbers) his info is here:

Yes, agree, good for you Jeff. I bet he or she is going to be upset, but best to know it sooner rather than later..IT IS SAD to know about these things. Aghh i hate fakes... really hate fakes.... moron1

Post by: erik1925 on May 04, 2013, 02:30:11 PM
I think he or she would be MORE upset, had they learned about this, say 4 months from now, when there was no recourse or remedy. At least now, he/she wont be stuck with a fake and out 200.00 (if they so choose to act and demand their $ back, that is).   ;)

UPDATE: The buyer messaged me and is returning it. They did not know it was a reproduction until after the purchase. The buyer said that they were buying as a gift for their dad. The buyer also said they sell vintage items but not movie posters so did not know how to tell if it was authentic. But overall it is good that the buyer is going to return it.

Here is the buyers response to my message to him
"Thank you for telling me, I did find out after I purchased it that its a later reprint from 80-90s and will be returning it. I sell vintage posters and Im not too familiar with movie posters and was going to buy this for my dads collection but had a dealer get back to me later about it and basically like you said the Printed in Belgium. Thank you"

Good job! But you should make it clear there are LOTS of other titles that were reprinted, NOT just Forbidden Planet.

Maybe you can add to your site somewhere a section that says something like "CONSIDERING BUYING BELGIAN POSTERS? You need to know THIS first!".

That would go a long way towards stopping others from getting ripped off.

I was the underbidder last night at Heritage on the 1932 Tarzan Spanish-language one sheet that sold for $930, a bargain compared to the US English language poster that recently sold for $65,000.   I think the Spanish language version has slightly better art:

I too agree and that Spanish artwork is better for sure.  It looks like someone turned that American version into a comic strip - look at her facial expression.

I agree, too.  thumbup

But it is interesting to see how close/almost identical some of the other artistic elements are -- things like the lion, Cheeta, and even Tarzan (while more muscled in the Spanish version) still looks to be a slight reworking of the US art, to a great degree, imo.

Nice that Scott was finally able to move this piece after offering it for so long, but yet another sign of the post-Haggard horror depression as this poster used to regularly sell (on the rare occasions it became available) in the $7-8,000 range.

Having said that, I am definitely in the market for an original Universal (not Realart) one-sheet for this film and would pay $15,000+ (the better the condition the more the "+") for a copy.

And this VERY cool and scarce linen backed 6 sheet for the 1949 Columbia New Adventures of Batman & Robin serial sold for $5000.00

This is one kick ass poster, IMO. The paper size does the imagery proud.  cheers

In looking at earlier results.. this seller had this same poster listed towards the end of April with an opening bid of $1700.00. So he either decided to end it early, or it had no takers by auction's end.

Inserts are usually rolled, surely it would be harder to find a folded one, especially something as new as this.

I've had the rolled one sheet, same art for years and nobody wants it at a much lower price,mans a rolled one sheet would be much harder and usually much more sought after.

Some people are nuts, and in this case at least two people are nuts.

Looks like you are correct Mr. Richards based on Bruce's results on this particular insert - the vast majority sold have been rolled and nowhere near the price just attained...

This looks like the front and back of a French herald, that was used in a place where they over-printed with Hebrew on the reverse. It in no way looks like one poster, or like anything other than a herald.

According to the auction description, this Shanghai piece measures 70 x 106 cm (approx 24.5 x 41.5 inches), if that helps to determine what it is exactly. ;)

Looking at it more, it looks like someone took a French herald and glued it to something and also glued a Hebrew ad for some Fox movie that came out at the same time underneath it.

It isn't another Fox Film that is being advertised at the bottom. That logo is one for Fox Movietone News, who was the primary producer of newsreels that were distributed to cinemas from the 1930s thru the 1960s. It was part of the bill each night.

I was able to determine that the film name (Shanghai Express) is on the lower half, in Hebrew:

(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q719/spitfire3992/Snapshot2013-05-2816-02-32_zps4b8d349b.jpg) (http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/spitfire3992/media/Snapshot2013-05-2816-02-32_zps4b8d349b.jpg.html)

Director: Josef Von Sternberg's name-

(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q719/spitfire3992/vonsternberg_zps8550fbba.jpg) (http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/spitfire3992/media/vonsternberg_zps8550fbba.jpg.html)

Marlene Dietrich's name-

(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q719/spitfire3992/dietrich_zps150615d9.jpg) (http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/spitfire3992/media/dietrich_zps150615d9.jpg.html)

I almost think this was a poster, printed in France, that was made with a large, blank bottom section, (much like US WC or Belgian posters have the wide, blank top area), so that theaters could write or print their own info, screening times, or other items they might be showing. The bottom has Soubie's name and same artwork, showing soldiers on the left corner and the locomotive on the lower right.

The screening times for the film were 5, 7;15 and 9;15pm

The newsreel was shown at the 7;15 and 9;15pm screenings.

Here is the Belgian OS, with the Soubie artwork, for comparison:

In VG-fine condition too!
Then I looked closer and realised it was a 1981 re-issue. Lucky I wasn't bid up too high.
My fault for not reading the description properly, but still it looks good, and $80 is probably a fair price.

Rick, the last time we sold that it went for $65, and it was not in as nice condition. We have only had it three times over the years, so it seems pretty uncommon.

And of course the original would cost at least $1,000, and is very hard to find even in lesser condition.

No worries Bruce, no complaints I'm sure I'll be happy with it.
I had just put what I thought was a `watching bid' on a really good title and nearly had a heart attack when I thought I had won a bargain.
I've won a few great bargains over time ($72 on eBay for one poster for which I was later offered $1000), but should have known better to expect such a classic to go for $80 on your auctions.
I'm sure the reissue will do just fine

But, but, people say you NEVER get a good deal on a quality poster!

I guess the above is proof you CAN get some, as long as you really look them all over, looking for ones that "fall between the cracks"!

Pre-war 1932 German poster for Shanghai Express goes for $11.5K, price doubled in the last two hours of the auction.  Probably the only existing German poster:

Hey Biebs,

Indeed you do, and of course sorry that it didn't work out for you, but exactly who is getting punished by you using that avatar for all the forum to see?

The bet should have been a framed 1SH of that nutcase in the entrance to your house, and every time someone came to the door they had to pose with you next to it!

Going to be a long three weeks...  :P  ;D

I think you're taking it too hard. It's generally tougher to attract dollars and bidders on Spanish language posters.  For example, the superior Spanish language Tarzan sold for less than $1,000 but the US version sold for $65,000.

But maybe it was just random.  I consigned a Pulp Fiction linen (with all the extra linen removed) to EMP and it sold today for $300.  I tried to auction it a while back on Ebay with a starting price of $99 and no one bid!

Seven Year Itch sold for $702.  Although EMP did disclose it was heavily-restored, I can't believe these bidders really have seen an original for comparison.

I posted a comparison to my original in the Restoration section here:

Thanks for the kudos on the resto guys... What I was really proud of was saving all those bits that were glued to the front and using them as paper to do the fills.  The entire poster is of the era even the fills...  I guess I just figured it would go for more since it was the same art as the US OS...  Imagine that a "Young Frankenstein" or that crappy pulp fiction with the edges trimmed ;) went for more...

I did have a firm opinion on price so did not get carried away on this occasion. It is such a great companion piece for the helicopters style BO.

Thats cool of you, I'll keep an eye on your thread. I'm sure it'll move much quicker on the dark side...that Taylor Alien has such a low run I think you'll get asking price fast on EB. That was a good price for the bride, well done.

This incredible beauty, a folded, US OS for Beyond The Rocks (1922), sold for a "Best Of" offer rather than the $11,500 asking price. Looks to be completely unused, with no tears, splits, and with only a couple slight horizontal scuffs or marks to the left of Swanson in the black background.

More stone lithography at its finest, IMO.  bed1

Henry Clive was one of the finest artists of that era ...or any other.
I'd love to have one of those.

Seems 98% of these are re-issues , style #A (Bruce kicking thug with nunchucks) and style #B (Bruce jumping) were by Novograph & had red Titanus logos.

This is prolly 1st issue Enter 2sh , seems most are missing the DB (Dear Bell) logo :

This partial WC for the 1935 Uni horror film, The Raven, sold tonight for $2715.00

It will look amazing when/if fully restored, too.  thumbup

The only other card to surface, and which was also restored to a good degree, was sold by Heritage, back in March, 2009, for $19,120.00 inc the BP.

Everything will look amazing when fully restored.
I think the buyer of this piece should cut it in half again and then restore both halves so they can peddle not one, but TWO Raven window cards...

how far down do you think we can cut it? there's only 40% of the card there to begin with

can we chop it down to "Raven poster pieces" 1" x1" and build a new poster around each piece?

$250 from the same seller as the Raven window card (i.e sold for about 1/10 of that one)

It's missing quite a bit of art on the bottom half - including the title

Wonder if it will be 'recreated' because this certainly cannot be a restoration!

LOL that is funny you posted this. I seen this one today on eBay as well. I wonder if whoever buys it will have it restored or keep it the way it is. If they restored it there would be a lot of work that would need to be done. Personally I think I would leave it the way it is IMHO.

Nice one, Paul. Is that similar to a US 6sh in size?

That would be something to have done. Lots to do, too, if it's that size, but it would be stunning!  ;)

I'm guessing Bela's image was originally off to the right?

Never before seen country of origin poster for a classic si-fi whose normal CoO pieces are relatively hard to find.  I think that one may be a premier poster or something.  I was willing to pay considerably more than the top end estimate, but that price tag was too big for me.

Good catch - I assumed that was linen-backed.  I'll add that to the rolled posters thread.

Meet John Doe (Warner Brothers, 1941). One Sheet (27" X 41").

The only problem with that piece is that it is a Re-release, but was not identified as such.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Bruce on July 28, 2013, 11:28:56 PM
From our Auction History:

"There is a re-release of this poster [Meet John Doe one-sheet] that has been mistakenly sold as a 1941 original, including by us (of course, once we discovered it, we immediately notified the people who purchased it from us incorrectly described, and offered to give them a complete refund, even though years have passed)! The reason that re-release is confused with this original is because it was likely printed from the same plates, except the small writing on the bottom was removed and only a "Lithographed in U.S.A." is on the bottom of the re-release. Also, the re-release has brighter colors than that of the original poster."

Looks like eBay fixed that all around.  I typically used eBay Italy to find the best offer sold price. Doesn't work there anymore either.  Leave it to eBay...  moron1

Yeah seems to have been filtered on all eBay sites now.

One way to at least get an idea of what it sold for is to do a sold listings search sorted high/low to see where it falls amongst other items - not exact but it gives you a fairly close range.  Although we can't see it, this search still places the item based on the Best Offer price acceptance...

It's just a shame, that with both of them wanting it so badly, they couldn't split it somehow (maybe they could have had 25 feet each?).

I am sure there is as well. Some stuff we may never see in our lifetime, who knows.

I remember talking to a guy who said he had tons of older posters that his Dad got directly from theaters a long time ago. I only saw a few, but the stuff I saw was ridiculous: mint and ROLLED exampled of early Connery Bonds, Hitchcock stuff (distinctly remember a rolled Vertigo and a Vertigo three sheet that was never used), rolled Singing in the Rain, etc etc...and yes, all authentic.

I asked him if he would sell or plans on selling or consigning, and he just blew me off...said he doesn't need money, has no problem with this stuff in his storage garage until his grandkids get their hands on it. Ugh.

Thank you, kind sir! But don't overlook the other three parts. They may not have as many "high dollar" items as the just concluded Part I, but they really are FILLED TO OVERFLOWING with cool rarities where "a long time may go by before you see them again"!

I see this every week, Linen backed posters bring much more than a standard poster.  Can someone explain why?

I hear people going on about un-backed, un-restorded being where the money is, but to date that's Bollocks...   I've been collecting a long time, and Linen-backed posters have always brought more money..

We had this conversation with a number of high-end art dealers in London and another from New Jersey a while back as that is exactly what we heard, Paul.

Basically, what came out of it was the following (their words):
Linen-backed posters are essentially preserved forever (so long as they are stored correctly etc) and are easier to frame as the frame isn't touching the paper. Unrestored/unbacked posters are more desirable, but if our buyers wish to frame a poster they usually go for a backed copy over an unbacked copy.

Funny really - imagine if someone found the elusive Metropolis US one sheet, unrestored in its original state?
What's the betting the finder would have it backed!?

I do think that is a really good summing up Adam.  I know several people who have turned down posters as they were Backed, do these people have those posters yet...?  No they don't, due to Linen snobbery. Not me I'll take what I can afford, and when it comes up. If I want to go un-backed I'll get one later, and sell the backed one, but strangely this has never happened.

Sean, it would be interesting to see how much the same poster would have went for if it was backed. You must have two high end posters you want rid of, we can use as a trial... ;)

My bet is that is would remain unbacked - like the Mummy 3-sheet, the Bride of Frankenstein 1-sheets, the best Mummy 1-sheet, etc., etc.
In almost every case where a nice* copy of a key poster has been discovered, the purchaser wisely chooses to keep it unrestored.

*nice copy being the key word, a lesser condition copy will almost always be restored.

I only see the results that Bruce posted here, so am unsure as to which posters you believe are bringing record prices because they are backed (and this may well be true for average pieces in the $300-1000 range), but we just saw a record price for a 50ft Woman (nearly 50% more than the copy Heritage just sold about a month ago) and where there was strong underbidding, you have to believe that is was because of the condition and the fact it was unrestored.

Similar for the Creature From the Black Lagoon that was posted - an average/strong price for a linen-backed copy. But Heritage has sold three different unbacked copies for $20K plus.

A top condition unrestored poster from an in-demand title will 99 out of a 100 times bring more than a lesser condition copy that has been linenbacked.

I think where people are getting is confused is seeing posters that were in C-4/5 shape being restored to apparent C-9s and bringing more than an unrestored C7 or something.
Yes, a prior C5 that has been restored will bring more than an unrestored C5 99 out of 100 times. 
And it should.

I like that the linenbacked posters bring more cash.. It leaves the gems for the taking.  When I started looking for my BAT I didn't want a backed one.  I wanted one where all the folds were crisp and had no paper loss.  If I am going to spend a lot of money, the poster better be in great shape.  I passed on two others that were backed and much more expensive to pick up my unbacked copy. And minus four tape stains arguably better color and less fold issues than most backed copies... 

Plus remember one thing - you can always back an unbacked poster and know exactly what had been done to it.

Not sure if the above is directed to me or others but just in case, I never alluded to any posters bringing in record prices because they are backed or unbacked. I spoke to art dealers who said their clients prefer backed posters when framing, unless of course the artwork they buy is original Monet, van Gogh paintings etc or modern artwork such as Damien Hirst or Banksy, or limited edition prints.

Yeah, Paul... I bet you have duplicates of the millions of quads you have but just won't part with them lol. ;-)

I prefer unbacked to backed as well and have a few pieces to let go as already have them unbacked... and I have no intention of putting them on the wall (I value my life ha!) so don't mind selling them.

as I can and the items become available, I have been and will continue to replace any linen or paper backed item I have. Of course I am not replacing them with lower grade posters. What would be the prupose of getting a copy that needs backing to look good (folds are not a defect and small pieces from the border bother me not)

No problem - was just commenting as you quoted something I had said. :-)

I think in general, Paul is right.
The art dealers I have spoken to say their sales of movie posters are higher on the backed side of things. I think a lot of collectors do what Rich does - replace backed with unbacked when available.

Post by: Simes on September 03, 2013, 04:22:55 PM
Maybe this is a question that Bruce can answer.

Has he experienced a general rule of thumb that says the clients that buy linen backed posters from emp are one-shot tricks - which is to say, they found the poster in the right condition and it is bought solely for framing and displaying?  They are not seemingly expanding a collection.

And, by definition, the clients that buy un-backed posters from emp are frequently returning people who are buying for collections and their expanding needs...??

Can any pattern such as this be seen, Bruce?

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on September 03, 2013, 05:09:56 PM
art dealers like "extra services" such as framing. linenbacking and restoration because if they sell and item in unrestored condition and convince their client to get restorations (or just plain backing on NM posters) because it is an additional revenue stream with specific profit margins. I've had more than one art gallery in my life (and I promise never to repeat that mistake again) and selling a frame or restoration is different than a collectible. I may only get a Murder My Sweet one sheet (to sell, I already have my own) once and my profit is limited by the unavailability. However, selling a frame is like selling cans of soup - they are always available to restock.

I certainly don't mind either, and to each his/her own I say. If I see something I like, want and can afford at that point in time then that's what I buy, I certainly don't care if it's backed or not.

Where I get a little pissed off is when some who prefer no linen start to make comments like "why restore etc you might as well buy a reproduction" or "original is better than restored because it is original" and so on. OMG such pretentious poppycock (yes, I know, saying poppycock is probably a little pretentious too  :) ), but did I miss the meeting where the rules of being a movie poster collector were passed into law...

Bottom line naysayers, I don't collect movie poster to make you happy I collect them to make me happy.

If I collected to make others happy Id have to throw away 90-95 % of the crap I have bought. Not that I wont any way.  :P

Absolutely. I prefer em unbacked but like Paul says, I will take em any way I can get em.

After seeing the fantastic results Bruce got yesterday, I was just wondering why they get the prices they seem to always get at EMP.

Sean, I am comparing like for like. An example is the Moonraker Quad that sold several weeks back. It was linen-backed No restoration as it was in excellent condition, made £299..  I knew the buyer, so contacted him to ask why he paid so much for a backed poster. his reply was he prefers them backed, and is willing to pay more for a backed copy. I pointed out he could of had a mint one for about half, but he wasn't interested.

This has been the same with other posters too, remember the backed Zombies Flesh eaters that brought £799!!  A quite poor One million years B.C. that was backed brought £850...

I know two prominent U.K. collectors that are getting most there good posters backed, just because they prefer it.

As with everything it's preference, it just seems more people are willing to pay more for a backed poster as time goes on. especially non-collectors who just want the art, so will pay much more for a backed copy. I wouldn't entertain it once over, but I've bought a couple in recent times, as it was a backed one or none at all.  If I ever come across an un-backed one I could afford, I may pick it up but at the moment I'm very happy to have these couple that I otherwise wouldn't have.

Most of these examples fall within the range I quoted above.  Linenbacking a one-sheet size poster usually runs $125-175, so at lower levels it absolutely can add that (or slightly more since you see the final result) to the price.
I think the number of these that go to non-collectors looking for a few display pieces is also greater than we think.

My statement was intended more towards the higher end pieces where people are willing to pay a premium for top condition unbacked pieces.

For example, I traded my Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man one-sheet several years back towards another piece. For Universal horror it is a pretty common item, and for that reason I am holding out for not only an unbacked one, but an unbacked one in top condition. I have turned down and will continue to turn down all linenbacked copies (no matter the price) until I find the one I want.  Does this mean I am going without and don't have the poster yet? Absolutely. But no biggie, there are lots of other items to spend money on and when I finally purchase a copy again it will be one worth the chase and I will be thrilled to own it again and have no nagging thoughts about should I have waited for a better one, should I get it fixed, etc.
And when such copy appears on the market I am willing and able to pay a premium over what all other copies have sold for recently, and I am not alone in these thoughts when chasing higher-end pieces.

It is always fun to follow these auctions of modern stuff, Bruce.  I own a lot of the posters you had up for auction, so it's interesting to see what EMP can get for them.

Good job.

Same here.  I took a good run at that Iron Giant, but alas, someone is crazier than me!  I'm glad I have a lot of those others already.  Especially that Pulp Fiction.  I paid $400 for my copy a long time ago, and I was sick for a week spending that kind of money.  Now, it's a steal.  Go figure.

Ya thats pretty fucked up about the Lucky Strike. I am still pretty much a newb but everything I have picked up on, know and have seen tells me that something just isnt right. That poster isnt that rare. I have seen it a million times now.

I traded a Mondo print for that Pulp Fiction.  I can't remember which one and I can't remember to whom.  It might have been Struzan's Frankenstein.  I had 4 of those at some point.  I knew I would NEVER spend more than $400 on a Lucky Strike poster (not that much into it to begin with), and the Mondo print cost me less than $300 (if indeed it was Frankenstein), so it made sense.  Thanks to Bruce, I probably would not be able to make that trade today.

You've seen the reprints a million times now.  While the real one is not particularly rare, it's not that common either.  The lucky strikes reprints are legend.  Stick around and you'll figure out why soon enough. Can anyone say Professor Powers?!

I consigned 93 of the posters sold yesterday and will be getting a pretty decent check from EMP, so consignment is working well for me and I can recommend EMP if you're considering larger consignments. The ones I consigned were fine but I was never going to display them again, so what's the point of keeping them around? I'll probably continue to whittle my collection (now down to 1,000 from 1,500 or so total) down to 500 or so permanent keepers. We'll see...

I don't spend that much on posters, it's all in proportion. I make sure everything is paid for, from bills, cars, House repairs to Holidays. Then what ever is left in the pot is for posters..

We have spent a fair bit on the house over the last 2/3 years, so my spending has been down a fair bit. Unfortunately, we're doing the Kitchen now, so I'm in the Cheap section... ;)

Wise words, truly.  The more I collect, the more I realize that I only need like a handful of posters to rotate out and put up on my wall to enjoy.  I've purged most of my posters, and only kept the ones I really love and want to see up.  I'm down to like 30 posters, and would like to keep my collection below 50.  Anymore, to me at least, seems like hoarding:)  Who can truly enjoy thousands and thousands of posters??  Keep the essentials, and let the rest fall away, with the money falling into your pocket ;)

I have heard this a million times over the past 43 years (first comic books, then posters).

EVERY collector has a "life span". A very few die with their collections. Most suddenly have a "moment" when they realize they don't need it any more (usually they first slow down buying for a year or two), and then one day they give me a call, starting out, "I bet you never thought you would get this call from ME"!

Mel, what were your other realistic alternatives of what to do with those 93 posters if I wasn't here to send them to?

I totally agree with this. I don't buy a lot, I dont want to buy a lot.  Less is more for me.

What I have bought has been dictated by i) money ii) wall space to enjoy it iii) luck as i could find it. 

I have a list, few posters, but those are the ones I really, really, really want. And that includes Way Down East, the one that escape this year.. oh well I might be able to buy one , someday i am not in a hurry.

 I can understand the movie might not be of interest to many but wouldn't go as far to say it's a 'shit poster'.   Poster imho is unique/appeals to car enthusiasts as well as has some weird unique cult following based on many notable quotes that lie within.

Here's one I laugh at every time I see - quoted by principle's admin asst (Grace)... 

"Well, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads — They all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude"

The balance of the obvious "this is inconcievably rare" and "this appears faded so i should be cautious" is an impossible scale to reconcile.. The mad love card is a seemingly faded specimen compared to nicer example cards from other 1935 MGM scene cards of similar print design for titles like ...Mutiny on the Bounty, A Night at the opera, David Copperfield etc... A quick search of recently auctioned 1935 MGM cards shows varying examples of color fading on these titles and will clarify my point...

After a fair and balanced amount of reasonable research... you can easily see that these 2 Mad Love cards have some fading, scuffing and overall they seem "destraught".... It NOW depends on the blank canvas scale of "rarity" being more important than "condition" and how collectors are willing to divvy out their priorities...it's pretty simple

And then people wonder why more high-end collectors don't join here so they can show off their purchases and be made fun of...

100% chance this card was purchased by a collector who loves the film and will appreciate the card for what it is and not cry about any slight fading that may be present or the pinholes in the corners.

The mad love card is a seemingly faded specimen compared to nicer example cards from other 1935 MGM scene cards of similar print design for titles like ...Mutiny on the Bounty, A Night at the opera, David Copperfield etc... A quick search of recently auctioned 1935 MGM cards shows varying examples of color fading on these titles and will clarify my point...

After a fair and balanced amount of reasonable research... you can easily see that these 2 Mad Love cards have some fading, scuffing and overall they seem "destraught".... It NOW depends on the blank canvas scale of "rarity" being more important than "condition" and how collectors are willing to divvy out their priorities...it's pretty simple

Well said.. if the number of this particular card that is known to exist is a mere handful, then collectors (of this film, era or genre) will certainly go for what becomes available. It is a great image, well composed and, as I suggested in another thread, this may have been printed initially, with a more blueish tone to the photo imagery, as the title font and yellow areas all look rather vibrant.

The color, too, may look to be more blue, as well, due to the light source used to illuminate the card for the ebay photo (ie natural light from a window, which photographs and makes subjects look more blue).

Someone paid $13K for this.. and congrats to him/her for it, as it was money well spent, in their eyes, to add this card to their collection.

I believe if you took all the Mad Love lobbies known to exist and put them together, you would not be able to make a complete set.
Bruce has never sold a single lobby card, and not even Heritage has had more than a single card (though it was the title card).
Has anyone ever seen any US paper larger than a WC on the film in person? There is a single half sheet I know of, and that's about it.
Any material from this film is very rare.

Exactly.

This subject, in general, has been touched on here in APF before, whether the high-end collector is new to APF or is a long time member that spends little to more moderate amounts.

Because words like "inferior" vs "superior," "elite," "5 star poster" etc are used here with some regularity, it has kept others (whom I have personally PM'd with) from posting their items, out of this same concern- being made fun of, put down or even to be made to feel like their poster(s) wouldn't "measure up."

It's no wonder that only a handful ever post their collection or new acquisitions here (let alone comment: there are 383 registered members on APF). Granted, many also don't want to post their images or feel the need, but I know of a handful of members that wont post images because of the above mentioned, as well. And that's a shame, on a poster collecting forum, where all should feel comfortable in sharing their found treasures and collections, if they so choose.

There is a big difference between commenting on the possible physical condition of a poster, and ridiculing a poster.

There is no possible positive effect/benefit of including that final statement and by making it you are suggesting that the buyer overpaid - absolutely a form of ridicule.  If the card had sold for $50 would you make the same statement? Of course not.
A simple congratulations to the buyer on the purchase of a rare card would suffice.

Ridicule of others' collections isn't the game I play. No matter what one paid for a piece. That is immaterial.

Should they have waited for a better condition one to come along?

yeah.. he should have waited for the other ones that aren't known to exist.

for anyone who doesn't know, a complete set on this title isn't known to exist and these 2 cards to my knowledge have never been seen before. who gives a damn if they're faded at all, we should be happy they were found

Sean is also right on the money with his subsequent statements. Incredible moroniscism from other commenter though.

I just now read this... I think it has merit but what I think you are seeing is more based on personality type than other people running people off. I mean if there were a direct correlation between being made fun of based on your latest acquisition posts, Mel would have shot himself by now, and anyone whom had interacted with Louie would have run crying home to mama.  You are either a fighter or a runner.  

But think about all those 'low-end' collector like myself who celebrate every $5 Stargate or Black Swan Poster they get and don't care when the egg jokes come out.  I doesn't stop me, because that is my personality.  Maybe what we are seeing in these 'high-end' folks is buyer sensitivity.  Because, hell, getting made fun of for dropping 13K sure hurts more than being made fun of after dropping $5. But if they are that sensitive then maybe they we not deliberate in the first place and are still second guessing themselves...  

Would it also be safe to say that most of the high-end guys don't need us?  I have this theory that there is a poster network fabric beyond the interwebz that many of us have never tapped into...  

Can you guys name any high end collectors that started posting and then quit posting? I know there were probably some newbies that started and got ran off but they were buying modern paper.

And what does 'high-end' mean anyway? And why do we care if they come to the forum?

 In fact if I had the money to buy $50K posters I would either be buying them for someone else (as a dealer) or some super busy hedge fund manager, actor, or CEO and wouldn't really have the time or care to frequent forums and talk about what I bought...  

Plus there may also be some security considerations for these 'high-end' folks.  I mean if it was web knowledge that a Metropolis three-sheet was at a personal residence and not a place of business, that would be a concern in my book. (that's why I never told you guys I had one :))

I don't know but can say this:

If you want to post, then post! Stop whining to Jeff about it and let us know that we are a bunch of assholes. It will make you feel better...  Else, you're just a bunch of pussies.  

You aren't going to find a better place to make a splash than here or Ari's place - so get busy.

Great Deliverance poster by the way... That's the only US poster I know of that used the shotgun art. Given the caliber/importance of the movie, I'm guessing collectors are desperate for anything besides the lackluster 1-sheet art. I still wish they had used the int'l 3-sheet image on the US 1-sheet. That is a genius bit of art right there...

Not sure about the Make An Offer feature (though I think it is genius), but I know I have gotten lots of offers on items through it.
I know for some of their other departments it has produced some big returns.

such as apocalypse now and scarface. although i do have a taxi driver but i reckon thats the only one i do have. its not even because i think they are too expensive [which they are]. but because i usually buy what i think is much more interesting looking paper.
wonder how many other people on here dont actively seek or already have seeked out that elusive 2%???

its funny, i was thinking the other night that i dont have ANY of the titles that you are supposed to have if you collect posters.
such as apocalypse now and scarface. although i do have a taxi driver but i reckon thats the only one i do have. its not even because i think they are too expensive [which they are]. but because i usually buy what i think is much more interesting looking paper.
wonder how many other people on here dont actively seek or already have seeked out that elusive 2%???

Where did this line of thinking ever originate? From someone on APF?

Since when is one is supposed to have any particular poster in his / her collection, if one collects posters?

Collect what you like, what appeals to your eye, be it the film, director, actor, genre, country etc.

There is NO set list of what anyone must have. That's just pure nonsense, imo.

Some smart people on this forum, I reckon.  I totally agree with the above.  I own quite a few posters, some cost me multiple $1000s, others cost me $1.  Some I got for free.  Some are rare, others I could wipe my ass with.  But in the end, I like them all.  They are MY collection.  And I will never say it enough: who gives a shit what other people think.

my thinking comes from watching auctions come and go. and seeing the same titles reaching ever more ludicrous prices all the time.
and i dont care what people think about what rubbish i buy, same way i never did when i was buying records.
 i have always sought out the obscure and relatively unknown which also leads to unknown numbers when coming to sales and buying?
some things you can get for nothing, other things i would really like but i think they are just too pricey to justify when i can find another poster for some crazy ass movie no one has heard of and there fore never bids on.

and if i was smart and buying for investment i would buy as many apocalypse now and taxi drivers i could find at relatively expensive prices because in 10 years they will be a damn site more than they are now, so i agree with you T :)

Nobody knows what this is, maybe it's a very early video poster, maybe a premiere poster:

I agree. I have been telling the consignors that often posters do even BETTER in the "regular" auctions (because they have less high dollar items to compete with) and this set of auctions proved that.

But this set of posters were so cool (and there were so many good ones) that they would have done well no matter what. Being at eMoviePoster.com was just the icing on the cake!

So I found this original Godzilla (with trimmed borders) that had been incorrectly listed in the "Canvas Prints" section. The seller had tried to auction it several times on Ebay without success:

(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2013-10/Godzilla3.jpg)

I thought about getting it and restoring it but I'm tired of linen posters (especially when non-linen versions can readily be found).

Temporarily putting aside my "demonically evil" instincts, I told the buyer to sell it in the Originals section and he was able to sell it:

An incomplete 24 sheet for The Searchers, sold for $5000.00 USD. The bottom panels are missing. It came by way of Lebanon.

The majority of collectors though, T, don't even look at poster forums.
And most of the high end collectors don't have the time to mess around on them as they're too busy making money or have better things to do lol.

What did you base these conclusions on?  Did you talk to the "majority of collectors" and "most of the high end collectors" and/or confirm that they don't look at these forums?

I am glad that I know the high bidder of this poster and that he/she is an honest person.

Otherwise, I would be afraid it would soon turn up in an eBay auction linenbacked, and described as being "fine" and having minor fold and border restoration!

Incidentally, if you had the above, would you just display it as is, or have the missing border areas recreated?

Post by: Dread_Pirate_Mel on November 03, 2013, 06:04:08 PM
It's missing a lot of artwork on the left border, probably at least $400 to repair. (Look at the bird and tree in the left center - look likes it's missing a couple of inches there).

Linen-backed versions of this go for $1000 or so, so maybe not that profitable to repair:

Maybe it's not about the profit, maybe owning it and saving it is all that matters to the new owner; besides it's hard to see how the new owner will lose long term.

That House on Haunted Hill had me imagining severed heads in every closet of the old house I grew up in.

Ugh.  Still gives me the shivers.

Quite an impressive number for a piece that has been trimmed on a minimum of one side.
But perfectly serves to illustrate the point that you can start auctions on ebay for $1 and your results will be just fine as long as it's quality material.

"Top Gun" is an overtly gay themed movie .

this is factually correct that Top Gun with all those men standing erect at attention and flying around in hard missiles is indeed a quasi-homosexual  sex fantasy.
I thought that was an intentional aspect of the film

I also do not believe that being able to comment on that distinction makes someone anti-gay, it just means you can look at it & define the film

I think Louie supports the LBGT cause as do I and his facebook page definitely reflects that and so does mine.
I believe in equal rights for all, and as far as I'm concerned, if two gals or two guys want to live their lives in wedded misery, who am I to stop them??

Myself, I'm a Lesbian, so I hope the two ladies stop by my place after they visit the Chapel of the Flowers

I certainly do. Always have. In fact, when Massachusetts passed the law which gave same sex couples the right to get married, in the city I live in I was extremely proud to be the best man in the 2nd same sex marriage performed that day when my lesbian friends were joined after 20 years of being together. An amazing day.

moving past that Louie, I am a bit concerned about your treatment of your Asian great grandson.
I mean seriously, couldn't you have at least put a pillow on the back of that chicken bucket for him?

I didn't want to "out" this auction because it was super-low priced, but now that it's over I can ask: Has anyone ever seen ANYTHING from this before?

It looks to me like it is a re-titling of Reefer Madness, but who knows?

Anyone?

I have to say that this crap between Louie and Ted is very silly - some of the reasons why many people don't post here.
NO MODERATION! NO RULES EVEN WHEN REQUIRED!

Holiday and Thierry really ought to seriously look into this now.
It's a joke.

I don't know the story between them both, if there is one, but Louie does say things at times he really shouldn't and Ted I think went over the top earlier in the thread.

With regards to Top Gun, I agree.
One of my friends is gay and writes travel and film reviews and he told me ages ago that it is one of the most important movies in the gay world.

Anyway, no idea on the above request, Bruce!

Dracula 47R 1sh definitely sold low as did the Kong 1sh.
then the Key Largo poster shown above, which even at estimate was too high, went to the moon (I can't imagine that price will ever be duplicated)

this was the first signature auction in years that I didn't win anything at all and the only real problem with that is I still need those posters.

Not many of these quads around, especially in good condition.  For a recent movie, it's probably one of the most expensive posters around.  I guess this one sold especially high because it's apparently near mint.

Thanks!!  I have been really focusing on getting the very best condition cards possible from the silent short comedies of Keaton between 1920-23...a very challenging task to say the least...Heritage has really impressed me with their consistency AND quality of Keaton material...considering the late state of the game..They really are my only good avenue to hand pick my little gem stones

so at 90+ years old...at what point to they become senior citizens  ;)

A Star Wars 7 sheet (81" x 91.5") sold just yesterday (Nov 20th) for a 'Best Of' offer. I'd be curious to know what the seller agreed to take.

It was listed at $14,995.00

Yet another 'heavy hitter' sold on the bay.

That Star Wars 7 sheet is impressive.  It probably sold between $14,995 and $14,100, unless the guy wanted to offer more than the $14,995 Buy it Now price.

That's one of my big regrets.  I was offered a set for $800, but I already owned the SW and didn't want to pay $800 for ESB and RofJ.  I still think the SW is the best of the set, so I'm happy, but I'd be happier with the set.

I would have never paid more than $2k for this.  Yes, it's rarer than the inexpensive 6-sheet, but it's pretty much the same thing, give or take 10 inches.  At this point, it all comes down to owning something that nobody else does, and I don't think that idea itself is worth $10k.

It is interesting, for sure, T.

How rarity, or only known, one of kind items can translate into these kinds of uber dollars, especially for more recent films. Surely there must be some others floating around? But until they appear.....

Have to agree with eatbrie on this. It is the only one that I know of not that that means much but the condition is a real killer. I do like that it shows more of the artwork above where the six sheet cuts off more like the one sheet but that is about it. One very curious thing with it is that there is no printer or copyright info/date on the poster that I can see.

 The deal though must have fallen through as it was re-listed today.

This other style SW 7 sheet*, also doesn't appear to have any printer's or copyright info on the borders or poster itself, either. Maybe that is just how this size was printed, sans that information?

The Star Wars "7 sheet" makes me laugh. The fact that it was relisted (and who knows what happened with that), the fact that he is lying about the rating being changed to 'G' (it was never and is not rated 'G'), the fact that it looks like the Dead Sea Scrolls, and just the general puffery he writes...all makes me LOLS.

A sixer is only about 10 inches different on the one dimension yet saves you tons of cash. Just a stupid price point.

Not doubting with deep pockets of SW fanatics...I'm sure it will find a home where someone has a customized R2D2 refrigerator or something.

The only thing I could think is so that they can establish a false value. They may have an off ebay buyer they are talking to and they can reference that auction and say .. One sold there for $14k .. So Ill cut you a deal and sell it to you for $10k and they may bite thinking that worst case they can always get their money back. Its not like there are hundreds of these floating around and selling so that we really know what they are worth.

But the "seller" will have to claim the "buyer" didn't pay on the "sale" (fake) or will have to pay all those eBay fees - I guess it's putting too much faith in eBay that they would even notice or care about this claim pattern  eyeroll

Ebay could care less about these things or anything else that may effect their bottom line. I can't count how many times i have complained about shill bidding and neither the bidder ID's or the seller ID's ever get banned, they just keep on doing it.

Anyway he is now down to $9,500 or best offer on it.

This one looks pretty special. This rare, (likely) one of a kind known to exist, 1914 3 sheet for the Chaplin film, Those Love Pangs, sold on Nov 27th for a Best Offer. It was listed with a BIN of $34,995.95   clap clap clap

The poster was sold from a seller in Englishtown, NJ, and last surfaced in 1997, via Christies. At that time, it had an estimated value of $10-15K.

Another beauty, sold via ebay with a Best Offer accepted. This WC for Buster Keaton's 1926 classic, The General. It was listed with a BIN of $9995.00

Per the seller's description, it looks to have been very slightly trimmed, measuring 13.5 x 21 inches.

It's always exciting to see these kinds of pieces listed via private sellers, imho, knowing they are still out there, waiting to resurface.   cheers

I've been watching this exquisite Bluebeard's 8th Wife poster all week, thinking it was very low compared to its prior sales. But it exploded at the end - rightly so, as it's a real work of art:

"The only defects it has are some creases and tiny brown stains scattered in the right edge of the right blank border, and also a tiny brown dot stain in the left edge of the upper left border, with a similar one in the upper middle of the left border, and a tiny area of brown staining in the lower left blank border"

The Heritage one: "Only light touchup to the folds was required, as the piece is in exceptional condition. Very Fine+ on Linen." $10,755

The one I just sold: "The poster had faint tiny brown dot stains scattered throughout, including in the title area and in the head of the woman." $7,200

The one I sold in September: "The poster was almost certainly never used, because it has a "crispness" that a folded poster quickly loses when it has been opened and folded several times. The paper is exceptionally white and the colors exceptionally bright, also indicating that the poster was never displayed. There is no paper loss or separation at the crossfolds, also indicating it was almost never opened. The only defects it has are some creases and tiny brown stains scattered in the right edge of the right blank border, and also a tiny brown dot stain in the left edge of the upper left border, with a similar one in the upper middle of the left border, and a tiny area of brown staining in the lower left blank border (see our super-sized image for the exact location and size of these). Certainly, any restorer could easily remove these tiny stains in the edges of the left and right blank borders, but I would think the vast majority of collectors would prefer to leave this wonderful poster just as it is!" $19,000

I can't tell if the Heritage one was in better condition than the one I sold in September, but I would assume one "in exceptional condition" was a LOT better than one with "faint tiny brown dot stains scattered throughout, including in the title area and in the head of the woman"

Once could be forgiven for thinking that $19K result had lifted the price expectations for this title given HA sells them for around $10K everyday as it were (albeit that price is lower than the $13K average in the late 2000s) I was therefore surprised to see $7K when I am sure most of us would have expect to see $10K+

So "faint tiny brown dot stains scattered throughout, including in the title area and in the head of the woman" do not warrant a 28% reduction? Personally, I would much prefer to pay the $10,000 instead for the one "in exceptional condition". Why do you feel $7,200 is a lesser result? I think it did great compared to the Heritage result.

To Catch a Thief 6-Sheet went for $1,850...  I am not sure if the picture was off but it didn't look all that fresh - maybe the photo?  This was a lot less than I paid after getting it restored. If I would have just had a little more patience.  But then again, I guess I don't know what the buyer's high bid was...

When this poster originally sold at Butterfield's in November of 1999 it brought $31,625.
So I am not sure if this recent result is a good one or bad.
The price is less than what the same amount of money invested at 1% simple interest over the last 14 years would be worth (and of course the rate of inflation over the last decade has been even higher than that).
But in today's market where many top horror titles are having trouble reaching the highs they were at just a few years ago, perhaps it is a good result indeed.

Zorba, take it from someone who could easily have bid and didn't on some things he needs, even things you want aren't always important, especially in collectibles. Also, you may be able to get those things later, sometimes for less money or as Sean pointed out, as a better value at a later date due to market forces.
There is plenty of paper out there. Maybe someday you will be able to afford whatever it was and be happier when you get it then.

One thing we need to start factoring into these analyses of past vs. recent auction results is the intervening 14 years (or whatever length of time between sales it may be) of "entertainment value" the poster brought to the original buyer (and presumably current consignor).  Unless the poster was purchased strictly as an investment the 1% interest example is somewhat flawed - but that's a basic problem with all collectables - this "entertainment value" certainly cannot be standardized as it will be highly subjective. 

Perhaps the original Kong buyer considered the insert his holy grail piece and it brought what amounts to analogous boatloads of sunshine, scantily clad women and beer into his life each and every day?  To me that's additional immeasurable value ;)

Since I don't know the previous buyer, I can not factor in entertainment value. The interest example was given merely to show the opportunity cost of that money, that simply by locking it in at even a 1% interest rate you would have more dollars than the poster sold for even today.
Of course if you locked in a CD at the 6% prevailing interest in 1999 for 72 months, did it again in 2005 at the current 4.5% interest for 72 months, and then again in 2011 at .5% you would have over $60,000 - for doing nothing. You could buy Kong and have close to $25,000 cash left over to entertain yourself.

For the buyer's sake, I certainly hope he wasn't an investor and purchased the piece because it did love it and got 100s of thousands of dollars worth of enjoyment out of it, because as a strict investment he lost money not only just compared to inflation/other investments, but also in actual dollars he put in his pocket.
If he did, I certainly can't blame him - I've bought lots of pieces I never expect to get my money back out of, but I don't expect to get applauded when I lose money on the resale either.

Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on December 09, 2013, 10:40:29 PM
I definitely understand the "cost per day to enjoy this poster" and have done this math before

I have Murder My Sweet 1sh, usually displayed (not at the moment however)
I bought the poster in 2001 for $3k and it's been displayed at least 10 years in there
3650 days into 3k means it's cost me 82 cents a day to look at it and that price decreases as I own it. in 10 years my cost goes down to 41 cents etc etc.

I still wouldn't like it if the piece decreases in real value as shown with the Kong insert and that poster cost the former owner more than 10 times per day than my poster as well as investment losses

Could be wrong  but anyone with $30k to spend on a bit of paper, possibly doesn't need to worry about what ifs as far as investing, he/she either earned it, in which case I'd assume is smart enough to know about investing, or inherited, and so it's all a bonus. Pretty sure their rent is paid and they have food in the cupboards, so I ain't worrying about them.

I know what you mean... there is an upcoming poster on EMP that should be a big ticket item, but I'll be at work so can't bid. Emovieposter might think it reaches global, but outside the USA, a large chunk of people presumably are probably asleep or at work when one needs to be available for bidding. Sure, I could bid early and show my hand and let you loons send me into bankruptcy, instead, Id rather not bid.

In real world terms, how does this work? Say you would be willing to pay $100, but you can't be there at the end, for some great reason (jogging, sleep, etc).

Why not enter SOME bid ($50, $75, whatever)? When you instead don't bid at all, how exactly does that help YOU?

But the above DOES show how and why early bidding can pay off. When those who forget to bid (or who don't bid as a protest against the "no sniping") are not there, those who DID bid early sometimes get a great buy.

How exactly would a sniping program work with time-extended bidding anyway?

They don't really work together, though sniping means showing your hand/ your interest at the latest moment (5 mins before the end). Maybe it is like poker, not that I know poker, but, I hear you don't show your cards early. Isn't it just plain logic, sniping?! Sniping really needs to also be accompanied by no extended bidding.

If I bid early $50 on a poster I was interested in that I thought was worth more than $100 in a visible auction battle setting, I wouldn't win it for a good bargain of $100 let alone $50 because I brought it to others attention (I search price high to low, so all you early bidders are culling the 3000 posters for me and showing me the good ones you are interested in). Sure the chopped liver posters you might score a bargain for $50 but not with the goodies, ultimately you end up with $50 spent on chopped liver.

Post by: Bruce on December 13, 2013, 07:35:46 AM
I have had this discussion over and over over the years. People like sniping because they believe it gets them a lower price. They may pretend otherwise, but if it resulted in them paying higher prices, no one would want sniping.

Not having sniping DOES result in higher prices overall, which is why we get higher prices overall than places with sniping.

So you can choose not to participate at all (cutting off your nose to spite your face), or you can adapt to it. How? By managing to be at a computer when items you really care about close (even if it means setting an alarm or postponing a jog) and placing your first bid exactly 5 minutes before the item closes, and then only bidding one increment over the current high bid, and then deciding whether to bid again if you are outbid.

On items you can't be there for, place a bid at a level where you would be very happy to buy them at, and if you get them, you got a great buy, and if you don't, well, you know you didn't care that much or you would have made the effort to be there at the end.

The above is optimum strategy for time-extended auctions. And while they do result in higher prices overall, there are two great benefits. Whenever someone forgets to bid (or boycotts the auction altogether) you may get a great buy, and whenever you really care about an item, it can't be snatched away from you at the last second as it can be in a fixed-time ending auction.

Ask yourself this. If all bidders fully used snipe programs, then EVERY fixed-time ending auction would have NO bids until the very end, and then each person would get to enter a single blind bid! Is that what you want?

And fixed-time ending auctions, which did not exist before eBay are clearly dying out. Consignors get less money overall, so there are fewer and fewer fixed-time ending auctions. If they are so wonderful, why doesn't Heritage make their major auctions fixed-time ending auctions?

Adapt!

Yes, I usually win such auctions, which are effectively best offer wins.

Which is why you love them so much, and also because you pay less. AND I DON'T BLAME YOU ONE BIT! But you can't blame the consignors for preferring to consign to auctions where they receive more money overall.

It's a bit more nuanced than that though. The sniper I use on ebay is useful because you can have bid groups set up - if you're going for multiple posters you can plan accordingly (so if I lose out on poster A, I have more money in my pot and the program will go for poster B and C instead). When you don't have that or you're not around for an auction end that sort of planning goes out the window and when you're an international buyer, trying to get multiple posters to save on postage is pretty essential.

I have done it many times on your site - looked at an auction and identified 5 or 6 posters I'd like to bid on, but then not bid on any of them as the complexities of which one I'd like to get for how much and how that impacts bidding on the others is very hard unless you're rich or there when the auction ends.

I'm not griping btw, I understand you have to end your auctions when it's most convenient for most of your customers, just an alternate view point! And Pay and Hold lessens the pain too.

It's simple - as Bruce says - sniping won't be implemented on eMovie because it takes away the "emotional bidding" factor allowed for with extended time bidding which results in higher overall results (and sometimes insanely ridiculous vomiting-inducing results).  Bruce is running a business and his main goal is to realize the highest results possible for his consignor; which, in turn, garners him more $ and likely more consignments.

Sucks for us as collectors but ask yourself if you were running an auction business would you not have the exact same strategy?

But think about this: If the auctions got dismal eBay-like results, then the consignors would NEVER give so many great items. So that is an added benefit.

With your auctions, Bruce, it's very simple...  I bid at the 5 minute mark.  Not before, not after.  If I cannot do it, if I'm jogging, driving, taking a shit, whatever I'm doing, I don't bid.  I missed yesterday's auction entirely for that reason.  It's unfortunate that you don't have a program that allows me to bid automatically, but such is life.

The U.S. West Coasters have one preference, the U.S. East Coasters have another preference, the Europeans have another, then the Australians have yet another, etc!

Dale is right. I think the best end times are where everyone only grumbles a little bit, and remember that a good alarm clock can be worth its weight in movie posters!

So I've "discovered" travel posters and looks like there is a competitive market on Ebay for them just like movie posters. Here's the link to aviation posters being auctioned:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Aviation-/14049/i.html?_from=R40&LH_Auction=1&_nkw=poster&_sop=1

This sublime David Klein New York/TWA (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1960s-David-Klein-New-York-TWA-Poster-/400621759469) - supposedly in excellent condition with a bad pic - doubled at the end, still a bargain compared to Christies:

They were like window cards. They were sent only to travel agents (to display in their offices) but then (like window cards, and not like one-sheets) the travel agents could throw them out or keep them. So most of the known ones were kept by travel agents (sometimes clients would ask the agent for one as a souvenir of their trip), and there have been a few "warehouse finds" of printer overruns, just like in movie posters.

David Klein did limited edition recreations in the 2000s. To me, the nicest ones from the 1950s on were the SAS (Scandinavian Air Lines) ones, and there were three or four versions of most of the U.S. airline ones (as the planes evolved to better planes and then jets).

The ones from the 1920s to 1940s are like movie posters of the same eras. Super-rare and often much better artwork than the ones from the 1950s and 1960s. And like the movie posters, in the 1970s, most travel posters went "photographic" and few are highly valued, and most can be bought for very little.

That will be $20 for the introductory lesson, sir!

Mel, they were also used to display in hotels where they might have various travel brochures, usually at airports behind the ticket counters, you could find them at train stations in NYC, both subway systems and Long Island Railroad system and other Amtrak platforms. Grand Central station I recall seeing them, though mostly near offices of travel agents.

the SAS building was near where I lived in Queens and all over that area I would see them and I would also see travel posters wilded on NYC construction sites.
such activity petered out in the 1970s mostly

I can also add that there was a poster store in Manhattan - I don't recall if it was in the 30s or 40s, but it was just off 7th ave or Broadway. A narrow store that went way back. Out front they would have loads of great posters but not vintage material that I recall. They had all the Portal reprints & lots of other stuff and they did indeed sell travel posters. Whether they were authentic or repro I can't say

I was more curious if anyone else had the same problems..

I never complained to you guy's Bruce, it was too late by then.

The problem was every time I went to bid, it said "No Tuesday Auctions", and no mater which way I went in to the site I couldn't get on the current ones unless I logged out, which meant I couldn't bid . Also a message kept coming up about the server, saying try back in 5 Mins...

It's No biggy Bruce, If there's one thing you learn after 40 years of collecting, there will be another poster along soon enough, that's just as important.

I see the problem! You went on AFTER the last auction closed last night, and for the first time in many, many Tuesdays, we added no new auctions (because those would have closed Christmas Eve).

Just go back on and view any of our other auctions, and you should be fine to bid.

3 know, or at least that's all I know of counting that one..  If you won it and want a quick turn over... ;)

Hi,
What do you think of this poster ?

I did not win it.
But it still puzzles me what happened to this poster.
It looks like the printer did not have enough orange ink, i can't imagine the sun would fade only one color.

Somehow i still think its cool :)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bullitt-Steve-McQueen-Driver-P-Yates-J-Bisset-27x41-inch-/261353699005?nma=true&si=X7B%252Bxvet5veT18kA%252FuODjp6W4%252Bs%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bullitt-Steve-McQueen-Driver-P-Yates-J-Bisset-27x41-inch-/261353699005?nma=true&si=X7B%252Bxvet5veT18kA%252FuODjp6W4%252Bs%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)

Yeah, I think you're right. It would not have faded that unevenly:

I was bidding on it up until $222 after that I stopped bidding. I should have bid higher. I thought it was going to go way up in the final minutes but finished out at $227. I am mad at myself for not going more on it.

If you (or anyone) wants to make an offer to the new owner, we will transmit that. It has to be at least 50% over the closing price (lower than that never works). We don't take a commission, but we of course have to act as the middleman, because we must protect our buyer list (that is our most valuable asset).

If an offer is made, it should be sent to "phillip at emovieposter dot com" and it would be best to do it soon, because once the poster is shipped to the winner, there would be an extra shipping involved.

It is not often people take these offers, but it involves only sending one e-mail.

I used to do it as a service, and I found that it almost NEVER resulted in a sale. Why? Because the high bidder may well have been prepared to pay much more themselves, and they may well have no interest in re-selling it. I made at least 100 offers, and maybe two or three ended in sales.

So now I solely do it on multi-hundred dollar items or higher, and the offer MUST be at least 50% higher, and there are STILL next-to-no sales. When there are, it is mostly when the person offers two or three times the selling price.

Why take a commission on something that almost never happens?

On the other hand, auctions that own a lot of what they auction absolutely SHOULD offer this service, because they can quickly "flip" items from their inventory.

That is really good of you and your team Bruce, but I've had many offers on posters I've won myself in the past, and never sold any on.

I'm guessing the buyer will be in the same frame of mind. I do hope it was a U.K. fellow who won it though.

So, so true.

Aside for a few exceptions (like Matrix and Gravity at $50 when you can get it all over Ebay for $5) it looks like prices are generally coming down, which is a great thing for buyers.  Bidders are finally realizing that if they don't get something, they'll get it a couple weeks later, or 2 weeks after that.  It will be interesting to see if sellers keep sending their modern stuff to Bruce when they realize the golden goose has died.

it works the same in posters and probably more so because of the small size of the hobby and the large supply of posters in some areas

some dealers just don't give a damn about how other dealers feel when the prices of some posters are ruined because they sell them faster than the market can honestly absorb them. They ride a price down from $150 to $25.

This also exemplifies how such dealers don't care about how a customer feels when he pays you $150 for an item that you then destroy the price of in your search for personal profits

If I found a bundle of 50 Superman #1s tomorrow, I'd sell one next month. I wouldn't sell another until next year. I wouldn't sell another until the next year after that. At my age, the bundle of 50 would outlive my timeline to sell them.

If I really cared "about the hobby" then I would consider these things.
I didn't care, then it would show in my actions.
I care
everyone doesn't

by unique circumstance, the item I "resold" had never been bought as a keeper and I was ready to sell it at the time I was offered an outstanding profit.

With regards to poster 'dumping' I'm with Rich on the slow and steady vs. saturate the market approach, but the one thing I really wish people unloading large stashes would do is sell the best condition copies first, then work your way to the crap.  At least that way if you're the early sucker you've got the best copy.  There's nothing more annoying than to find out that not only are the first chump, but you've also got the crappiest copy.  It also helps to cover the price decline.

When we get several at once from one person, we auction them in order from best condition to least. But when we get several from different people, we always auction them in the order received.

All this is why you need to keep your head when bidding on a poster that likely will turn up again.

One thing I don't get. People send me the posters to auction. If they are not happy with the results, they will stop sending them, so this will surely "self-correct". If it means some people get good (or great) deals temporarily, why is that so terrible, especially since YOU have just as much chance of getting those as anyone else?

When people sell items for cheap prices on eBay or low traffic auction sites, do you also complain about those?

Those 50 Supermans constitute a huge fraction of the available market though.  No matter how slowly you trickled them out, people would claim you are "dumping" them and price declines would definitely happen.  Look at the Dracula 1-sheet.  Even though they were spaced out by 3 years (almost to the day) the price still dropped more than 50%.  And that was one of less than a handful known. 

If Bruce auctions a Pulp Fiction regular every week for 5 years straight, those 250 posters still probably only make up a 0.5% of the original printing (wild ass guess 50,000?).  Even of the copies still in existence -- maybe 5-10,000? -- those 250 are still just a drop in the bucket.  If Bruce was obliged to space them out more you could never sell all of them in 10 lifetimes.

I can understand why you personally would be upset at him selling PFs that consistently, Rich, given your large inventory of them.  However, I can also imagine his consignors being happy to get what they can while a certain poster is *hot*. 

And I say all this as someone who has 10+ of these :)


EDIT:  I just checked and there were 8 sold on eBay in less than a month.

incorrect Harry to some extent on the Supes #1 and I don't believe PF has been sold faster than people can buy them. There are dozens of titles, if not more that have been ruined. Go back and look for my comments on Fire Trap (1935) or the Mexican Orpheus (1949) poster (I was the first buyer) in previous threads here on APF

on the Supes #1. I have no doubt the market could sustain 5 copies being sold in the first year considering the hypothetical grade they would be in (near mint or better other than the outside copies).

The comic book hobby is 100 times the size of the poster hobby. Maybe 1000 times. Absorption rate for the Supes #1 would be greater than the absorption rate for any similar movie poster.

But at some point, maybe around the 3rd copy, price would start to tumble, so it is an economic issue combined with angst by the hobby. To avoid these issues, you slow your sales. It keeps everyone happy from top to bottom.

To be sure, this philosophy is practiced by the government of all nations concerning certain food products that farmers produce, like for instance, milk and eggs.

Farmers are paid to sometimes not produce as much milk as they could for very good reasons, with the biggest reason being that the government has an interest in preventing the giant farmers from destroying the small operators as well as preventing a deterioration of price which by itself could bankrupt a vast portion of the dairy business

here's the math (without government intervention): one company decides to dump twice as much milk into the economic stream as normal in order to drive their competitors out of business. The price of milk drops 30% and many farmers go bankrupt because they can't produce at a low enough price to support the business anymore, and these farmers disappear. Then the following season the lone producer standing can't produce enough milk to compensate for all the farmers they drove out of business, the cost of milk goes through the roof and consumers now are paying double for milk and other sectors of the economy suffer and it causes a recession. It's called cause and effect.

Our solar panel industry has been rocked by Chinese manufacturers dumping in the USA. The us Government responded to this by putting safeguards in place, but it happened a little too late and Solyndra (for instance. they're just one) goes bankrupt owing the American people half a billion dollars footed by tax payers

Now it would hard for any dealer in posters to create that exact situation, but that doesn't mean you can't affect other dealers or collectors negatively by not proactively paying attention to a certain rulebook. Anytime you sell or try to sell something where a market can't successfully absorb the material, the price structure is going to deteriorate. I fail to see why anyone in any market cannot adhere to certain rules of common courtesy or even common decency, but it requires a certain moral compass as well as an altruistic perspective taking others into account and how your actions may affect them.

An agreement or coordination among sellers to constrain or regulate sales of a particular poster would blatantly violate the antitrust laws as well.

I don't think anyone champions collusion here Mel.

Let's just say you're well-advised to follow these guidelines from this comic book dealer association:

http://www.comicspro.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=843470&module_id=84633

It is the policy of ComicsPRO to abide by and follow both the letter and the spirit of all U.S. and International Antitrust and Competition laws.  ComicsPRO does not advocate or sanction any agreement or understanding with respect to group or collective purchasing, pricing, or refusals to deal with any supplier, vendor, retail chain participant, customer or groups of customers.  Members of ComicsPRO may decide unilaterally to sell to or to buy from whomever they wish and ComicsPRO takes no position with respect to our members' individually considered business decisions.  ComicsPRO also does not take any position with respect to the terms and conditions that its members establish or agree to when contracting with suppliers, vendors, or retail chain participants.  The decision to enter into a business relationship or contract, and the terms under which the relationship shall be governed, is an individual decision for each member.  It is ComicsPRO's position that all such contracts should be reviewed carefully and if any member has concerns or questions, they should seek guidance from their independent counsel.

If the law doesn't care about those who knowingly sell fakes why would they care about price collusion?

"The law" sent Kerry Haggard to jail for a long spell.  If you're referring to Ebay, it is "willfully blind" to fakes and sees itself legally purely as a venue for sales amongst buyers and sellers.  Anyone can start a class-action lawsuit tomorrow against the fakesters. Just a matter of convincing a class-action attorney to take your case on a contingency basis or financing it yourself.

Mel, let me tell you what is absolutely hilarious about the comic hobby and collusion

the hobby is rife with it and it is rife with it in the most obvious of places: the Comic Book Price Guide

all that association is, is window dressing

Indeed, but surely the problem is that the real money is being made at the bottom end (of the price scale) and in volume, top end fakes/forgers and sellers of same are few and far between.

The law could give a toss about GWTS Star Wars posters or the endless supply of Cookie Monster autographs - the sellers get away with it because at the end of the day it's a few bucks. It'd probably cost more to file the claim than chalk it up to a bad experience so not worth the hassle of the new owner taking action.

Sellers of fakes and forgeries at the lower end rely on buyer apathy, that coupled with the fact that very few would be selling 100% fakes/forgeries 100% of the time so they get away with it, knowing full well they can because they can hide behind it being an 'honest' mistake if challenged.

Seems to me that what is being described here is a cartel.  There are lots of them out there, some legal, some illegal.

How is slowly dribbling out Superman #1s different than what DeBeers does with the large stash of diamonds they control?

Another question.  If Rich owns 50 of the 55 known Superman #1s and keeps them locked in a vault, what is the true availability?  Should those 50 be considered to dilute the market or should they be considered a single copy since they will not be split any time soon?

Wrong Chris. I do not advocate dealers getting together by any stretch of the imagination, but you can be a gatekeeper of sorts on your own. Don't forget, YOU have an investment, however you look at it, and the gatekeeper is protecting your investment as well as anyone else's.

If you're a cheap-O, there is still ample opportunity  to wait for the perfect time.

I meant to include diamonds in my post.. and gold also.

on Supes #1.. there are probably closer to 500 copies extant. maybe twice that number, but there are few that grade 9.2 and above. However a decrease in the value of a 9.2 would also decrease the value proportionately on the remaining copies below that grade. It would have an effect on other titles also as the market would be starved of the extra cash generated at higher values..

But the milk, eggs, solar panels situations are a much better example than anything for the reasons exampled.

everyone needs to think of the entirety of a market, not just their own little corner.
Sure I'd love to buy a Lambourgini for $10,000, but Lambourgini would go out of business very quickly at that price and who does that serve?

you have altruism and selfishness in a constant battle.

This is a great question and something I have asked as well.  Technically these posters are not in the market but they are known to exist and will, at some point, reach the market. So the true sense of "supply and demand" is flawed.  But as a buyer and collector I would bide my time and would never sink lots of $ into a commodity were I know several more exist but are not technically available.  There are simply too many scenarios allowing for the gatekeeper to lose the keys and the vaults to be opened.

Yeah probably right, as long as you're in tune.  ;)

Issue I have is that it's not just eBay. Haggard wasn't sent to jail because of some checks and measures in place by the auction house [enter long version here]; perhaps Haggard and his cohorts are feeling apologetic, but only because they got caught.

There's probably nothing to be done, the higher the profile/feedback/experience of the seller the more chance they will likely get away with selling a fake; and if you can put your fake items on the market via a 'reputable' retailer/reseller who will invariably turn a blind eye under the guise of just being a service provider then you've got away with the near perfect crime.

Now of course I can't reveal who the bidders were on the below poster, but you can guess a few of them by looking at their IDs in the bid history.

I can say that those who bid include many of the people who I consider have the greatest taste in movie posters, not surprising, since I think this poster (with a wonderful image that I have never seen before) is one of the coolest posters ever, and I can see what drew all these illustrious people to bid on it!

Mel, you aren't even up to the level of comparing apples to oranges. You're comparing apples to orange pits

first of all, asking why someone would want the vintage item rather than a contemporary printing is like asking if you would rather have an original King Kong 1sh or a 1966R

secondly, while the poster is a commercial printing, it is something of a dis-service to call it that as the poster I sold is a one-by-one-hand-produced silkscreened art print. Even in the 60s this poster sold for alot as a new item because it was limited in production

The seller resisted it with a starting price of $300 with free shipping. Must have cancelled the last purchase just to relist it and get more for it.

WOW, really? I'm sorry but this is really sad   :'( :'( :'( 

I love my wife more then words can say but if I ever came home to a room decorated like this, I'd grab my toiletry bag and be out the house in under 5 mins. 

Looks like the guy/husband says, "I'll show you" and throws some of his hockey stuff on the table to "offset".   

Maybe the other walls have "Fight Club" or "Fast and Furious" pasted all over but I'd bet the mortgage we're looking at a "Sleepless in Seattle" or "Beaches" shrine.

Yeah, that was a good call.   thumbup  The auctioneer said something like "there's been a lot of interest in this one."  It was one of only a few pieces that were actually in the auction room, also.  Most of the stuff was just pictured on a television.

You got me dead wrong there. I have the utmost respect for Mark, and his collection. He is one of the only collectors I know of where I would do another catalog, if he were to ever give me his collection to auction. It is that wonderful.

Had those posters been on eBay, Mark would still have been the winner, and the underbidder MIGHT have bid as well, but I suspect they would not have bid as high. Of course, I could be wrong. But that is my gut feeling. eBay is circling the drain. Of course, Dave has quite a following there...

it depends on what time frame you call "never".

some collections recycle in longer time frames is all.
The material is always owned by some private party until the day it gets bequeathed to an institutional collection

Dave, everyone here needs to take lessons from you as to your fine ability to hack it.  I've never seen you lose your cool once in the 14 years I've been around.

I'm a bit baffled by the posts about the Twiggy posters. Bruce had one at auction a couple of years ago which I won for $278 - I loved the iconic image of this beauty, the style of the poster, the high quality printing ...and the fact that it appeared to be exceedingly rare. It was probably a very costly item to purchase at the time of the film's release and I imagine few were distributed. I was amazed to see two further variations and was determined to win them to create a set.

I think people get too sensitive over postings.  My poster purchasing decisions are no more irrational than those of any other collector acquiring items, with no intrinsic value, for cash. The ease and speed by which disposable income can be created is an important variable which some people tend to overlook.

I took zero offence at Bruce’s comment. It will be many years (touch wood) before I consider selling my collection although I would love to “right-size” it – to use Mel’s expression – in the near future. It seems to have acquired a mythical status which is out of all proportion to reality.

Nice try, but your collection deserves its mythical status, Mark.  While Twiggy Posters are not my thing, I know exactly what you are saying because I have a lot in my collection that fit the bill -- no intrinsic value yet i paid a fortune to get them for what, to me, was iconic art.

I've said it before and I will say it again, posters should not be an investment vehicle.  I pay what I am comfortable paying to get what I want to add to my collection.  Value, either at the present or increasing over time, is an added bonus, but by no means is it a consideration when I am buying.

Mark gets that perhaps more perfectly than any of us.

The only time I've ever seen Bruce mock one of his customers was when he was laughing and wondering how a Train Robbers insert sold for $316 last year.
Certainly didn't take his latest comment that way.

I've seen lots of comments from dealers over the years ridiculing or laughing at the price someone gave him for something

then the same people would & do trumpet how they get some incredible price, often citing the price they laughed at their customer about

I could never understand this philosophy/behavior and always felt it was just a window into the person.

This trimmed WC for Chaplin's The Circus (1928), sold yesterday for $142.50. While in need of a bit of re-creation and restoration, a good amount of the card it there, including all of Chaplin's face. I think someone did pretty OK on this purchase here, especially since hi res scans are available of the complete card (as is the example on the right, courtesy of HA), in order to complete the work, if wanted.   thumbup

it can probably be restored to look okay..

I have a Wings wc that is about 75% there and a few other such items that I keep in a drawer until I find another piece to match, if it happens

my favorite is a Thief of Bagdad wc that is not for the movie but rather for the photoplay edition. It has the Willy Pogany art for the book on the card, but about 30% of the card is missing and darn if I don't have a photo on file

It is..  and it looks like the bottom piece was literally torn off.  :'(

All in all though, given to the right restorer (and unless another was found in order to salvage the missing areas, as Rich mentioned), i think the drawn clowns and animals, redone from a scan would come out looking pretty dandy. And no major credits to deal with, aside from a bit on the word, "Picture" at the bottom, and printer's info on the border. The colors are certainly still vibrant, so that's a real plus, too.

great condition and okay price
that poster suffers from too much text blocking which ruins the image and it's also too loud

it is however a perfect example of a 3 sheet designed to be used as a 3 sheet or 40x60

A Star Wars 7 sheet (81" x 91.5") sold just yesterday (Nov 20th) for a 'Best Of' offer. I'd be curious to know what the seller agreed to take.

It was listed at $14,995.00

Yet another 'heavy hitter' sold on the bay.

Just a mini update-- this one, originally said to have sold for almost $15K, then later, for an alleged best offer, actually did sell, via a regular auction, and closed on Dec 8th, for $3349.67

Sure is a LOONNGG way down from that original asking price.  :o

now this is how i feel when i get outbid! not this "oh well another will come up sooner or
later" crap.

I was having a rough day to begin with, those big losses just put me over the edge.  So pardon my fucking French.  :D

My other consolation is that I just bought an un-cataloged lot of 95-100 Russian posters ranging from 1955-1978.  They haven't arrived yet, but maybe I'll get lucky...

 I have explained that Heritage has sold this THREE TIMES as being 1940s first release over a six year period and have NOT corrected or amended those auctions. Given that, how can I in good conscience call it anything else in the main description and be fair to the consignor?

And of course I have a lengthy paragraph explaining all the controversy about this poster (and of course, Heritage in no way explained any of this).

I have also explained ad nauseum that I am going to personally explain everything that is known about this poster to the high bidder, and that I will give him the option of canceling.

And I will remove the result from our Auction History Database if he does cancel.

I, for one, have never held Heritage as the "be all and end all" in terms of setting a proper example. 

My concerns have been well voiced previously.

But I do feel your action plan is fair and perhaps even commendable Bruce...

Looks like someone got a pretty good deal on this US OS for Karloff's The Ape (Monogram, 1940). It looks to be in really fine shape with no real detracting condition issues, either (other than some small border dings and and "age spots" -- it ain't too shabby looking for 74 yrs old!). The winning bid was $234.50   clap

I doubt this helped the final price:
"It has been glued with tape on back. Sold as it is."

I imagine it will soon surface in another auction.

Here's a shot of the back- some stains and pieces of tape. I thought the glue reference might mean remaining glue residue when it had possibly been adhered to a wall or other display area?

To me it looks like the cellotape (sellotape?) is still adhered across all the folds...and given that it hasn't yellowed it should come off really easily

Post by: erik1925 on February 26, 2014, 10:33:01 PM
Considering the age.. i bet there is a good chance, that if it is brushed on glue, it may be water-soluble.

Let's hope anyhow.

Had glue been all over the verso...it would never have been removed easily from whatever surface it had been adhered to and salvaged, methinks...

Would someone use glue to mend or repair fold tears or weak spots?

I guess anything is possible.  :-\

It wouldn't surprise me though with some of the shit people will actually try. Rubber cement would leave a line looking like tape and I would think that it would look glossy as well. But hell ya never know and it may remain a mystery to us unless someone from the forum was the one that purchased it. Would be cool if it was someone here. It is a great looking poster.

Post by: Bruce on February 27, 2014, 09:56:17 AM
Personally, I don't see this as a "simple" linenbacking, and I think it will require a fair amount of paint restoration for the staining and bleedthrough of stains.

But I am no restorer. Maybe Dario will give an opinion.

When people put "Sold as it is" it usually is because it looks worse than the photos suggest (this is just my personal experience).
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on February 27, 2014, 01:13:37 PM
simple restoration. clearly from the picture there is no bleed through to speak of and the poster looks pretty good.
linenbacking & cleaning will handle this poster very well and people should stop always trying to bag on other sellers

every where else is bad.. don't go there.. they have evil people.. no one else is honest.. ebay is a disease.. what does this kind of stuff accomplish?

I buy plenty on ebay and I buy plenty from almost every source out there. My own experiences on these site from Heritage to eBay to where ever are almost always top notch and only rarely do any issues arise from deals I have made and over the decades of experience only a small minority of people have proven to be dishonest or screwed up.

Hello,

I read the description and paid attention to were the seller is from.

I think he meant " tape on the back' but his English ....

That's thin packing tape. It will come of like butter with some chemicals.

Somebody got a great buy!

Best,

that's what I think Dario. The poster does look great and it doesn't seem there are any stains bleeding to front.
The buyer will have a great looking poster when it's linenbacked and probably have a great display in his/her home.

That is one great looking Karloff poster. Had I not just dumped a wad of money (with an expectation I'm dumping some more pretty quick) I would have been on that poster myself as I have wanted one, even though I have been trimming my collection and selling off even Karloff pieces I don't think I need anymore.

Mirko, the seller has always been top notch. Bought a few things from them and am always happy.. Wish he would upload some Chandler posters I need. I might find $$$ for those items

It just goes to show that wonderful home discoveries still do happen! Found as a backing card on a framed picture, this partially trimmed (top imprint area) 14x18 inch WC for the 1935 MGM, Peter Lorre thriller, Mad Love, sold today, for $1250.00. It has a few scrapes and bruises-- all simple repairs, tho and not affecting the artwork.

It's always great to see when more rare pieces like this, unexpectedly still do turn up. ;)
This being from Pennsylvania.

The good news (for me, at least) is that there are so many linenbacked pieces it really limits the amount of posters I am interested in.  Case in point, this To Catch a Thief.  If it had been folded, I would have gone for it.

This wonderful and very large painting is the original artwork used to produce one of the most well known movie posters of the era. Standing 33" X 40", the painting was done by artist Mike Bryan using a large blueprint that produced a ghosted image from a photograph onto paper. The artist then used airbrush, ink and colored pencil to create the photo-realistic image seen.

This is a really cool, iconic piece for a classic movie.  It's unfortunate that it is appears fairly damaged.  I wonder how it will be in the long term?

From HA: "The image was produced on an ammonia based paper, which has caused it to lighten slightly into a reddish cast as seen in the upper and lower portions of the image. Heritage and the artist both want the bidder to be aware that the image was produced with an underlying element which is an ammonia based print material, and that we are not sure how it will age with time."

Post by: erik1925 on March 22, 2014, 04:30:25 PM
I wonder if there are any current techniques available to stop or slow down what sounds like a degradation on the ammonia-based paper.

Hope there is something that might be able to be done. It would a shame if the whole piece continued to lighten and become more reddish, over time.  :-[

however, the piece is already 27 years old and clearly hasn't changed a whole lot.
there are ways to buffer the ammonia and if you spent almost 50k on the piece, you won't mind spending a thousand more

I thought this one was really cool but I've already exceeded my limit on other posters (TBA), so I had to pass:

Things to Come (Minerva, R-1953). Italian 2 - Foglio (39.25" X 55").
Adapted from H.G. Wells' prognosticative 1933 essay "The Shape of Things to Come," this film spans 94 years, from 1940 through 2036. When it was first released in 1936, Italy's fascist dictator Benito Mussolini reputedly had every print of the film in Italy destroyed due to the extreme similarity between himself and Ralph Richardson's portrayal of "The Boss" of Everytown. Things to Come was filmed on an epic scale with eye-popping special effects such as the ones featured on this rare Italian reissue poster. Minor signs of handling have had touchup, including fold wear, a chip in the bottom border, and pinholes in the background. There is a faint stamp in the bottom right corner. Very Fine on Linen. Estimate: $1,000 - $2,000.

Another cool Italian sold earlier for $1,500:

Invaders from Mars (Rank-RKO, 1958). Italian 2 - Foglio (39.5" X 55").
There was no shortage of stellar sci-fi movie posters in the 1950s, but this Italian poster with artwork by Renato Fratini is a masterpiece. William Cameron Menzies directs Jimmy Hunt, Leif Erickson, and Helena Carter in this classic sci-fi tale of alien abductions and implants, one that remains popular with film buffs and poster collectors alike. A first time offer from Heritage, this poster is in near perfect condition. Very Fine+ on Linen.

You wouldn't call the "reddish cast" over the entire piece "damage", Rich?  From a chemistry perspective, I see what you're saying about how the acidity could be neutralized, but what makes you sure it has changed a fair amount since it was originally created?  It surely didn't have that much reddish coloring over it when it was created.

$71,700, way over $30K estimate:

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman deliver standout performances in what many consider to be one of the finest films in cinema history. Against the war-torn backdrop of Casablanca, they rekindle a romance amidst political intrigue, corruption, and murder. A triumph with critics and audiences alike, the picture went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay, and Bogart would receive his first nomination for Best Actor. This style B half sheet is one of the rarest and most desirable of all the Casablanca posters. It differs greatly from the Style A, showing in addition to Bogart and Bergman, all the main characters from the film. Heritage is proud to offer this style again, as we have not sold another copy in over five years! This poster was sold by Jack Banning in NYC in the late 1970s and has not been on the market since that time. Minor signs of handling include small chips in the bottom corners, tiny chips and a stain in the right border, slight surface paper loss in the left and right borders and top corners, light horizontal creasing, a tear and dust shadow in the right border with tape on the verso, a stain and tears in the left border, a small stain in the title, edge wear and pinholes. The poster has retained good color and the interior of the poster is unmarred. An exceptional opportunity, this half sheet will be the pride of any collection. Rolled, Fine+. Estimate: $20,000 - $30,000.

Cimarron (RKO, 1931). One Sheet (27" X 41.5").

$42,500, much lower than last sale:

Winner of the Best Picture Oscar for 1931, Cimarron is a sprawling, big budget Western that encompasses the opening of the Oklahoma Territory in the fabled Land Rush, to its Wild West days, to its becoming a state, and to the realities of the then present day. Following the lives of Yancey and Sabra Cravat - played by Richard Dix and Irene Dunne - the film's budget was massive for the day ($1.5 million), and employed over 5,000 extras, 28 cameramen, and hundreds of technicians. RKO also went all out in promoting the film, including this magnificent one sheet poster with art by the acclaimed illustrator Frederic C. Madan. Widely regarded as one of the all-time greatest pieces of movie poster art ever produced, Heritage is pleased to offer this beauty. The poster has had the top border replaced to the edge of the art. The right border has also been replaced with paper loss extending one inch into the art. There were chips and tears in the bottom border and small chips in the title area. The restoration was superb and the poster now displays beautifully. Very Good/Fine on Linen. Estimate: $20,000 - $40,000.

Lawrence of Arabia (Columbia, 1962). Thierry hates "French Grande" (46" X 63") Style A.
Although David Lean began his career as an editor in the British cinema, he was to make his lasting impression in the movies as a director of quality epics. He won two Oscars for Best Direction for his work on The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia, and was the recipient of a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute in 1990. This film has been heralded as a true masterpiece of the cinema and has inspired filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. For only the second time, Heritage offers this majestic, color-drenched Thierry hates "French Grande" with Georges Kerfyser artwork. There has been light touchup to the folds, but the poster is otherwise intact and ready to be a standout in any collection. Very Fine on Linen.

Dracula (Universal, R-1947). Three Sheet (41.25" X 79.5").

Bidders came out at the end...

$71,700 realized

Heritage is thrilled to present this fabulous three sheet and the only known copy for the 1947 reissue of the iconic Universal horror classic starring Bela Lugosi! Because of the popularity and the huge money making potential of the film released in 1931, Universal Studios reissued it in 1938 and again in 1947. All of the posters for this second re-release of the film have always been extremely scarce and most collectors have never seen this poster before now as its existence was only rumored for many years. Prior to restoration, the piece showed very small chips and tears along the folds/cross folds, a chip in the "L" of "Dracula", creasing, and missing paper in the borders. Careful restoration, including touchup to the folds and borders, has given this poster a like-new appearance, ready to be displayed and admired for its rareness and beauty. A jewel of a find, this three sheet is the opportunity of a lifetime for classic movie poster aficionados! Fine+ on Linen. Estimate: $40,000 - $80,000.

King Kong (RKO, 1933). French Double Grande (61.5" X 92") Style A.

$ 56K realized

Posters from King Kong, one of cinema's greatest triumphs, never disappoint, and this French Double Grande is worth waiting a lifetime just to see, let alone possess. No amount of hyperbole can ever fully describe King Kong's impact, and its revolutionary effect on how films have been made ever since. After premiering in New York City at the Radio City Music Hall in March 1932, it began doing all-time record box office business. Kong was then released internationally to another tremendous reception, resulting in fabulous posters being produced for its promotion, including this mesmerizing large format French piece. Artist P.H. deBuncey renders the mammoth "Eighth Wonder of the World" bellowing his displeasure as he sends a tree trunk asunder, with a few unlucky humans dangling precariously in his wake. The colors are as bright and fresh as the day it was printed, and airbrushing and touchup have corrected signs of wear: small tears within the image, upper left corner into the artwork, upper right border into "Kong", and right border, a chip in the lower left corner, and a small chip in the center. The rarity of this poster cannot be overemphasized, as there are two French Double Grande styles, neither of which Heritage has previously sold. A phenomenal find, and one that won't come around again anytime soon! Fine- on Linen. Estimate: $40,000 - $80,000.

You wouldn't call the "reddish cast" over the entire piece "damage", Rich?  From a chemistry perspective, I see what you're saying about how the acidity could be neutralized, but what makes you sure it has changed a fair amount since it was originally created?  It surely didn't have that much reddish coloring over it when it was created.

I have sold about 20,000 pieces of art as an art dealer. not prints. art. paintings, comic art and illustration

in the art world, we call that "age" not damage

Obviously the 80K was a bit on the high side, but has anyone ever heard of ANY re-release poster (of any size) selling for $71K?

47 Dracula material continues to be the gold standard in re-release prices.


I think the $$ realized is outstanding, too.

And its a stunning looking piece, as well.

Let's just say this isn't an academic question… What do you think the best things would be to do to protect against the ammonia problems down the line?

they can buffer the acidity.
if there are other chemicals that cause aging, they can use the correct buffering agent for each one, presuming none of them cause other issues.
any process would need to be repeated every 5-10 years because all you're really doing when you buffer the acids is delay them and the process begins again.

if there are any specific ammonia buffering agents, I wouldn't know. This is actually the first time I have heard of anyone using a paper that was ammonia based for a piece of art, but it's an example of how in the field of illustration, the art is viewed as throw-away. Less so today than 30-40-50 years ago of course.

http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7094&lotNo=83115

(http://www.posternirvana.com/0DNE2/2014-03/UK.jpg)

Speaking of UK....

Curse of the Werewolf (Universal International, 1961). British Quad (30" X 40").

$ 2,390 realized

Oliver Reed delivers an over the top performance as the werewolf in Hammer's only entry into the horrific lycan genre. Based on Guy Endore's The Werewolf of Paris, director Terence Fisher's terrifying tale doesn't shy away from mayhem and gore. This is the first British quad from this film offered by Heritage. Only light stains from masking tape along the borders and folds, and pinholes in the corners can be noted. Folded, Fine/Very Fine. Estimate: $700 - $1,400.

Gilda (Columbia, 1946). One Sheet (27.5" X 41") Style B.

$77K realized, way more than previous sales of this style

A set of special Marilyn Monroe posters went for $9K realized:

The re-release Canadian one sheet for Flying Down to Rio sold for a "mere" $6,500, a relative bargain considering the artwork is nearly-identical to the US one sheet, which sold for $239K six years ago:

Yeah, but that's a complete fluke.  This poster is not worth more than $500.  I own a few rolled dated versions.  If this Heritage number repeats itself, which I know it won't, then I'll think about selling a couple.  It would certainly buy me a Ballester.

Maybe, but with Heritage, I only buy stuff that I really want that I would have trouble finding otherwise (either because it's rare or because the condition is usually not as good).  So it might be a little overpriced, but if it's the only way, it's the only way.

$2 mil. is not that much money, Rich, especially for the amount of posters they had for sale.  Their estimates on most posters were way higher.  So my question remains, was it or was it not a good sale, especially compared to previous ones.

I generally don't pay too much attention to the estimates, they seem moastly like wishful thinking...moastly.  Seemed to me that the nouvelle vague era posters have finally come into their own - at least for this sale.  Super strong Kurosawa but it may have been an unrelenting single bidder driving them up.  I've been thinking '60s auteur stuff would spike a lot sooner than now but have remained relatively cheap, imho.  It did seem like some of the Italian posters were quite reasonable and '50s sci fi has stabilized, or maybe I'm just getting used to the levels it's at.

Curious T, what did you think was cheap?

Most of the big-money items were in Round 1 and most of them made at least low estimates (which do not reflect the 19% BP).  I only sporadically watched the later rounds, so maybe they were below low estimates.

I have my setting at No, but if I had it at Yes, the one item I won today would have that button even though I haven't even been billed yet.

Even if there is a way to stabilize this, there ain't no way of reversing the damage that has been done.

$2 mil. is not that much money, Rich, especially for the amount of posters they had for sale.  Their estimates on most posters were way higher.  So my question remains, was it or was it not a good sale, especially compared to previous ones.

T

Not sure on which posters their estimates were "way higher", that might just be perception based on one or two high-visibility pieces (Like the '47 Dracula 3-sheet, which was estimated at double the price of the '38 Frankenstein 3-sheet's last sale).
I went to the auction results page and just clicked on page 4 and checked through a dozen or so results and everything was within or over the estimate except for the Sunset Boulevard insert (which was within $130 of low estimate). So it seems pretty solid.

There are barely over a handful of players who do $1 million+ in sales per year, let alone double that number in a weekend. It takes Heritage's next closest competitor about 5 months of all sales combined to reach that 2 million number.

That about sums it up for me, also.  But I also look at it as there is only one original painting of that iconic art, and considering that, it's still a rad piece.

So my takeaways are that estimates on Gilda and Casablanca paper really need to be fine-tuned upwards in the future (after this 1/2 sheet and the insert earlier)...

Just goes to show estimates mean nothing in the end

I'd say the high end of the market is very volatile and unpredictable, presumably due to the low number of players at that level.  That Cassie half sheet has been all over the map.  Two years ago it didn't sell - I can't remember the start price but it was much lower than $70,000:

Sadly I agree about Casy. Dear me. Gave up on the insert and clearly wont get the HS any soon.dammit.

I don't mind estimates.  I quite like them when I get my poster much cheaper than the estimated estimate hehehe

Thank you for lettting me know and sorry to hear you didnt get it. I heard similar feedback from other people.  :-[

The poster I might be tempted to go for has had two offers (the owner rejected both, one it was $3000+ his original purchase price  :-\) So not sure if they are really ''entertaining offers'' or just "entertaining" themselves..

The good news (for me, at least) is that there are so many linenbacked pieces it really limits the amount of posters I am interested in.  Case in point, this To Catch a Thief.  If it had been folded, I would have gone for it.

T

I want one to display, so would prefer it on linen out of the gate.

Passed on this one because the whole 'linen trimmed to borders of the poster' seems both scary and inane, IMO. Pass.

In this past weekends HA auction - how does this poster....

(http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a583/jstephenryan/Gilda-ArgentineanOneSheet_zps15cea385.jpg)

go for 1/2 of 1% of this...

(http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a583/jstephenryan/GildaUSOneSheet_zps79c14e14.jpg)


Is it harder to find? Doesn't appear so.
Is the image that much better?  IMHO maybe slightly, but they're both great images.  

Also, movie was filmed in an Argentinean casino, so why does this US version go for 200 times the Argentinean????

I'll concede you that she looks a bit like a tranny on the arg black style

Country of origin is just a small part of the thing. Truth is that the majority of collectors who spend big money on posters are from the US, so a poster in their language appeals more to them.

In addition, it always takes 2 to tango, regardless of the poster, in any auction.

In this case (and like the Casablanca insert) 2 (or more) heavy rollers were determined to have this Gilda OS and got into a bidding war. Had one (or 2) of those deep pocketed players NOT been there, that day, and bidding, there is always the possibility it could have sold for less.

It would seem like a better perk to NOT charge that 3% fee, for any CC buys that are $2500.00 or more.

Waive that fee for those higher end buys and (if they are keen on having that fee at all), apply it to purchases below that amount?  :-\

It just adds up.  With the CA tax, that's about 12% extra.  If you spend $5,000, that's another $600.  Not cool is all I'm saying.

I have a feeling Dave charges it too.   wynk

I know that.  I'm more annoyed with the CC 3%.  With all the money they make, I think they could at least let go of the CC fees.  Does Bruce charge them too?

Take them a truckload of pennies.

3% credit card fee is well above usual standards and hard to justify. They have some great stuff that I would like but I will continue to not buy there because of this and other service problems I encountered in the past as a buyer and one-off seller.

So I just paid Heritage and I'm a little taken aback.  Not only do they charge the seller and the buyer, not only do they charge an extra 9% for California residents, they also charge 3% if you use a credit card on purchases over $2,500.  Really, they can't eat that fee?  They don't make enough?  A little pissed off. 

T

This must be a new thing? I can't remember paying that fee last time I bought one over that price. I don't like it either. And the postage is also very, very expensive.

Your well within your right to query that fee and then ask them to prove that they are actually charged 3% by the credit card company, I would bet a pound of sh*t to a pinch of salt they are charged a whole lot less in which case you can argue that although they may be within their rights to pass on the fee they should not be profiteering from it.

That figure may be different now, tho.

Except in certain states (like California and Texas) it is legal to tack on an extra charge for credit cards:

As stated on my website: "Some of my last 100 acquisitions," meaning the few posters that matter to me.

The rest of the posters disappear within my website.  I only got Stargate to add it to my "Box Office Top 20 1994", not because I like the movie.

T

And btw, it was not in good condition, a few creases within the poster, so I had to trash it, which means I will have to buy it again.  So don't be surprised if you see my name again.

So not only is the 3% charge not disclosed in the catalog as required by Visa rules, but the states where Heritage is operating a showroom have specifically made it illegal to place a surcharge.

Sounds like a call to Heritage is in order as well as a complaint to the state attorney general.

If you only collect post 1980 posters, you should only collect them mint and rolled.  1980 to 1985 would then become your own personal challenge since a lot of posters were still sent folded pre 1985, but it's a fun challenge.  If you collect pre 1980 gear, then you don't have much of a choice, unfortunately.  Sure, some could pop up, like Jaws, but they are an anomaly.  I think Ed only collects rolled posters.  I could never do that, because there are way too many posters I want.

All the new French posters can be found rolled.  New meaning post 2000.  I personally prefer them folded because the paper they are printed on is not thick enough and they will very often get damaged in transit or simply by unrolling them.

It was not a bidding war Mel. I placed one bid a couple of hours before the auction closed and went to bed.
I had no expectations of winning it.

It seems to be the wrong aspect ration for a half sheet.  Too tall.  Is it because it is shot at an angle?

I think they shot it that way to make the image of Dumbo look MUCH larger than it is (like it occupies a greater percentage of the poster than it does). It worked!

also, SW and P were major studio releases and again, Dumbo was less so and had a smaller budget

Matias, alot of those Nazi posters which were fairly popular for a long time are becoming less so because we can't display them. so aside from people aging out, the market is decreasing anyway

interesting side note
this film was narrated by Walter Houston and was cited as a proof that he was a socialist at the beginnings of the Hollywood Red Scare

I was watching that. I could not believe what it sold for. Just crazy for a video poster.

A lot of 80s video posters are now getting more than cinema posters. the Aussie video poster for TTCSM is even better than this one. I sold my spare, in fairly average condition, for $250.

It is just amazing how much some video posters are going for. It seems like it is horror video posters going for high amount. Pumpkinhead is another one.

A set of these same 2 cards sold on HA, last May

"A set"? I would suggest they are the exact same cards.

But along with Bruce, I also question whether they are studio issued cards.  My guess is that they are enlargements possibly produced by an independent theater taken from either the pressbook, or made from original cards (perhaps even by an early collector in the 60s).
No way Universal allows cards like this to go out with their logo so mangled as to be unreadable like on the top card.

If it weren't for the fact that they are 11" x 14" I would suggest they were taken from an early fanzine, something like Raymond Stuart's Famous Horrors of the Screen fanzine or something.

This is the same artwork as the Style B one sheet - the rarest style but not the greatest design. I thought the one sheet was a $500 poster but I just saw that Heritage's last sale of one was $1500 (inc BP) so Bruce's 6-sheet price is fairly consistent with that.

No...again this is yet another example of eBay's Global Shipping program deciding duty/import fees for buyers.  Canada customs should be the only arbiter.

And as I have ranted about before - eBay also presumably takes a % cut of that $500 which I fail to understand as possibly being even remotely legal...

They did the cut out of the shipping after people realized they could sell a $100 item for .99 and then charge $100 for shipping and only pay the fees on the .99. They changed that quite a while ago. Whenever I sell something on there I build the shipping into the price and then list it as free shipping. No games then.

They did the cut out of the shipping after people realized they could sell a $100 item for .99 and then charge $100 for shipping and only pay the fees on the .99. They changed that quite a while ago. Whenever I sell something on there I build the shipping into the price and then list it as free shipping. No games then.

Just to be clear guys - my issue is not so much eBay taking a cut of shipping fees (which is also very suspect in my eyes) but really eBay presumably taking a % of import/duty charges as part of their ridiculous Global Shipping program

Great looking Metropolis poster. It has that great futuristic look that was in keeping with so many other posters released at the time, too.  clap

A nice sales price, too!

Seems the big winner at the Cinevent Hollywood Poster Auction was a set of 80 stills of actress Ann Todd (as well as other actors). The estimate for this lot was $300-500.00 yet the published, winning bid was $15,000.00  :o. (Is this maybe a typo on the site?)

http://www.hollywoodposterauction.com/session_lots/11056/show/ANN_TODD_STILLS

In second place was a WC for Casablanca, going for $8000.00. It sold for well below their estimate of $12-15K.

http://www.hollywoodposterauction.com/session_lots/11549/show/CASABLANCA

Many lots were passed on, including a rare WC for Werewolf Of London. Bidding did not meet the reserve of $6000.00

definitely not........."Published at that time in 1926" probably is a "lost in translation" kind of thing.  It possibly it just meant the film year and doesn't translate properly or the seller actually think it is.

Metropolis wasn't released in Japan until April 1929, so the 1926 date on the ad description page was an error.

In inches, it measures approx 17.5 x 24.5

Here is a side by side with a page taken from a Japanese magazine from the film's release (on the left). The image/art of the robot looks to be very similar. But the English title on the one sold, is a bit curious and interesting on Japanese first release material:

(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q719/spitfire3992/metJP_zps78acc9f7.jpg)

This site gives more insight into the release in Japan, as well as a few other examples of the magazine advertising examples that were used there:

Where's the proof this is a 1929 poster?  It looks like a 1960s re-release.  Was it common to include foreign languages on posters back then?

A Japanese magazine ad, from 1929, for Metropolis. The English title (with the same font style and Werner Graul or re-created art ) are used here, too.

I'd love to see this image in color (unless it was originally printed in B/W?)

Sean, is this a first release Japanese poster from 1933, in your opinion? The film was released in the UK, in August, 1933 and not until Nov. of 1933 in the US. Info on imdb is thin, but I have found nothing online that shows The Ghoul being released in Japan in '33. The artwork looks to be later, imho. In addition, the distributor named on the poster, (Towa-Shoji Film GK) was strictly a production company, producing Japanese films in the late 20s to the mid-1930's.

That the Towa-Shoji G.K. Film's logo is on the poster, naming it as the distributor in that same year, seems off.

These are, of course, questions and observations from my POV.  ;)  I've been trying to dig up more info on Towa-Shoji Film GK, but have come up short, at this point.

Well frankly I don't have to prove to you anything, and you can think whatever you want about it.
Yes, it was quite common to include foreign languages on posters back then (and in the 30s, 40s, 50s, etc)
Look at the altered-Maria image in the poster - the same as from the yellow/green advertisement Erik posted.
Look at the unique lettering for メトロポ (Metoropo) on the poster and advertisement (and the program book a couple of photos down on the Metropolis page) and see how it uses dots instead of strokes on the Me, To, and Po katakana.
Plus look at the bid history. While the winner was a deputy service, the underbidder (Pollymagoo) is one of the most famous long-time collectors in Japan, and the 3rd, 4th, and 6th place bidders are all quite well known also (I would say think Borst, Allen, Caiden, Shimkin, Nemith-type collectors but some of those names might be lost on you).

As soon as I saw it listed last week I contacted a couple of long-time collectors friends in Japan (you would probably call them elite) and they both confirmed it as original. That was good enough for me.

As to the Ghoul poster, it has always been my understanding that it is from 1935. Towa-Shoji certainly distributed films (in fact they distributed the very first film made from Toho in 1932), and the writing of their name from right-left next to the logo is definitely a pre-war practice. The odd size of the Ghoul poster is also another indicator that the poster is pre-war.

People with more money than they know what to do with?

No way that quad is a $5600.00 poster (imo); even that ebay example sales price seems crazy!

(Aside from the pair that "battled" for it). But for those that fought (bid) for it .... it was worth pure gold.   8)

The FMBD Quad is a £500 poster, maybe £800 on a very good day..

Is this the sign of the times...recession is over, posters are climbing in price? I've seen some Horrendously high prices of late..

Would a sign of better times still mean a sales price of 7-10x the norm?

This realized price is an anomaly for sure, don't you think, Paul?

It looks like two bidders got that rush of blood to the head and went absolutely batshit trying to get it. I hope whoever landed it is happy with their purchase but I also hope that no one thinks that's a realistic 'new' price for that poster. As Paul says, that has to be 8 or 9 times its actual worth.

I wonder if some of this is due to the current exchange rate, with our friends across the pond having a distinct advantage over the colonists?  I don't even look at UK auctions any more, but I imagine coming from the other side US prices must look like a steal when they're priced in dollars.

Post by: paul waines on June 02, 2014, 12:35:38 PM
All I can think is who ever bid must have thought it was different/unique to the usual Quad as they all have a snipe along the bottom which moves Freddie Jones up the cast list. It looks like there's no snipe on the Extortionate one... We should all take them off and maybe we'll make $5000+ for ours as they are all the same under that snipe...

The one for £1720 is Yakob, a first rate fellow, but his pricing is all over the place, I was quite surprised when I originally saw it up for over the 2K. He should leave it at the £1700 going on the other one, or maybe take the snipe off and put it up to £5000.... ;)

When you do this to an eBay seller, they can't even leave negative feedback against you! And if they DO get kicked off eBay, they can open a new ID a minute later. But when they do it to us, we block that person (not just the ID) forever. That makes a big difference in collection rates.

yeah I get these once in a while. or "the item was only $1, why do you want $10 for shipping"
one person was irritated that I would not take a rolled insert, roll 1920s lobby cards inside it and then roll a folded 1940s 6 sheet inside of that
there are always a variety of reasons people use, thankfully it doesn't happen often and almost always for a small value order.

all get banned and blocked. as a matter of fact, on MoviePosterBid, if you are blocked, you get redirected to one of my other sites and can't even "see" MoviePosterBid

ban them all.. I have no use for them.

This particular poster had been on ebay for well over a year, and it finally sold... a Portal Publications poster for Frankenstein. The seller got $260.00 for it. A nice, little haul.  If I recall, he originally had it listed in the neighborhood of 375 bucks or so.

The Portal is a genuine poster. This one was even properly noted as being a commercial reprint in the listing.

This Portal poster for All Through the Night got multiple bids and sold for $65
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261436347282

Maybe it's time we acknowledge that commercial posters can have secondary value. Maybe the best known of this is for the Barbarella poster from the 60s, but I see lots of commercial posters on a variety of subjects selling for over $100 quite frequently. Portal might have made lots of these, but they are all getting pretty old and haven't been made in quite some time.

The Godzilla photo is dreadful! This is called the "keystone effect", where one end gets distorted because it was shot on an angle. Obviously, this poster should be shot straight on, but failing that it should have been shot with the top at the bottom, so that the image area was enlarged and the credit area reduced.

It is a cool poster, I like that style better than the other one as the monster art is an entire sheet and the title is the other, whereas on the other style 3-sheet the separation cuts Godzilla's head off.  Back when I had a small apartment and little space I hung just the brown title section up by itself.

Price seems about FMV to me, but I haven't really price one in a while.

Not really. I would think I would have gotten somewhere in the same ballpark, and the eBay commission is lower than mine, so this seller may well have received more. I tell a fair number of potential consignors that I think they are better off making an eBay auction with a high buy it now. It just depends on the item.

I thought this was an excellent steal. A fantastic poster on HA for $215.10
It is rather interesting. It seems Spanish but printer is Italian.
Rio Grande R-50 Italian Foglio. On linen.

With an hour and 20 minutes to go, these were at $31 and would have sold there, had there not been more bidding!

Hi Mark, you can see the prices realized if you search for 'Film Poster' here - http://www.christies.com/results/

Interesting prices achieved (when you add in the BP and VAT). Are Mondo making the cross-over? I know the Slater Goldfinger always does well, but the Durieux prints are only a year or two old.

Thanks Mark for asking the question about Christies' sale (I was going crazy trying to figure it out) and thanks to Tob for answering it

 I am glad I know now the final price for some of these posters! I dont understand why they have done it like that, their website It makes no sense!

It does seem a bit odd, maybe they are working on updating it elsewhere?

From that link I posted, I presume that if a poster isn't coming up in the search results then it perhaps didn't get a bid? e.g. La Dolca Vita

I rang Christies' this morning to be informed there would not be a separate results listing given it was an internet only auction. So your tip was very helpful Toby - thank you - although you need to remember it brings up results from earlier sales.

It was reassuring to see that all is well in the poster world of the elite collector - my benchmark is always The Jungle Book one sheet which sold for £2250 ($3800). Given their extremely recent origin the Mondo prints did very well.

Good lord, no wonder my tri-folds I had kept getting snagged up by a UK buyer at 300.00 per. That was even my "I dont care if these even sell" price.

Post by: marklawd on June 25, 2014, 01:24:28 PM
I think the Jungle Books have sold at Christies' for an average of £1500 each over the last five to ten years. They have appeared in virtually every auction. I have previously speculated that it is possibly one or two consignors who have provided most of them with some cosy arrangement with the auctioneers, which precludes any potential new consignors from participating.

Even in this rougher condition, with disclosed fold splits, stains, rips and the added "text" on the lower left, this US OS for Jezebel (1938) sold for the high bid (and there were only 2 bidders) of $7000.00, on June 19th. (Let alone the quoted $150.00 for Standard shipping!  :o )

Pretty cool set of B1s sold at eMovie today:

Although this film is not exactly grounded in the laws of science, of course, a lot of environmental science, dealing with similar topics, is fascinating.  It's cool that the Japanese campaign had this set of compelling images for the film.

There is some neat trivia for the movie at IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319262/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319262/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv)

From IMDB: "Roland Emmerich confided that the Statue of Liberty would be turned over by the force of the massive amount of water flowing around it but said he wanted to create a symbol of American values that stood up to the forces. "

Here is an article explaining some of the science with reference to the movie: http://www.wunderground.com/resources/education/thedayafter.asp?MR=1 (http://www.wunderground.com/resources/education/thedayafter.asp?MR=1)

Yup - which means that if the entire pster is faded, the entire poster will be painted over leaving nothing more than the original paper as proof of originiality.

One may as well just 'paint' a brand new poster.

Hmm.  Fading is for me, the worst offender of a poster's worth.

Whats even more interesting is the second listing that sold for $200.00 and was described as a lobby card. I checked on HA, and they have sold full 8 card sets and this image is not one of them. Plus the size looks too square to me. The artwork on this is the same, basically, as that on the insert. I'm thinking that this is more likely a window card with the top imprint area trimmed off. Neither HA nor emovie has sold a WC from this film, so I couldn't compare directly.

And that my friend is the #2 eBay account handle of Ken Schacter....his normal account is curlykong....and if you remember during the whole Metropolis court case documentation...he had assets that were swinging in and out of his daughter's "investment portfolio"...curlysgirly almost certainly has something to do with her and his "investing"...btw I have been doing business with Ken for over a decade and he has always been great to me...so I have no complaints

No offense to the buyer, but I am surprised this Lucky Strikes sold for as much as it did, given the condition.

Sunlight fading is hard to overlook, and I suspect hard to correct if it were restored.

I'm actually surprised. ..or maybe not...at how much the Lucky Strike poster is currently going on  at certain auction..and bids keep coming in. So it could go for a good price. So the "value" of this  poster is still holding on..or so it seems. .!

I will never understand the attraction to this poster.  Sure, it's nice, but $1k for a damaged poster like this one is beyond ridiculous, imo.  Wherever he may be, Bruce is laughing.

I don't know why there is such an appeal, but there is a perceived rarity and it is one of the most lauded movies from the past 20 years. Tarantino has a pretty big fan base among collectors of recent posters.

What I cannot figure out is why so much for a poster with that kind of damage?  I mean if it was a poster where there is a true scarcity of copies that pop up.  For example, it might be a while before another Cocteau Beauty and the Beast pops up again or fill in the blank. I totally get that.

However, there has to be 100s of that Pulp Fiction poster floating around maybe 1000s of copies.  If I have my hands on one, it can't be that rare.

Good luck to the buyer. I hope they enjoy it. It will also be interesting to see where the Heritage copy goes.

Post by: eatbrie on July 12, 2014, 11:49:11 AM
I would say low 100s (maybe even less than 100) for the advance and high 1000s for the reg.  Just the fact that it pops up every single week on Bruce's auctions should tell you how common it is.

The perceived rarity of "recalled" posters is the dealers wet dream.

Post by: archie leach on July 12, 2014, 02:22:12 PM
The perception can be very real, but it can also be used as a BS selling technique - it all depends on the kind of recall.

As for the PFLS, I would say in the low-to-mid hundreds and almost certainly not less than 100.  It is the best execution of a brilliant design concept... 

I would also say that there were multiple printings of the regular Pulp Fictions.  My theater receive two separate shipments weeks apart, which was exceptionally rare except in the case of changes being made to the poster and that doesn't seem to be the case here.  By contrast, there are significantly fewer dictionary advances around, the most under-appreciated of the three.

It's all about condition, Mike.  The Jaws is rolled and the ET has issues.  Personally, I would accept creases on Jaws because it's rolled and rare, but ET needs to be mint, imo.  I would not buy it in the condition it's in.  But then again, I'm a stickler about condition.

Completely understand. I'm all about condition as well, but that Jaws had a 2+ inch tear into the credits. Granted the repeating vertical crease is one of my greatest pet-peeves and it was throughout the main image, but still I was shocked by the differential.

Where the hell has this style been hiding? Just another example of things in the hobby being not what they seem. I kinda have doubts it was from India. Don't see why they wouldn't be using the standard one sheet most everyone else did. I would think something like this would be used in an English speaking country. The size is odd but that doesn't mean it couldn't of been printed in the US. The fact it's never surfaced before makes me wonder if it wasn't a special printing for the higher ups on the film. Obviously very few were printed. Crazier shit has happened.

I still like the UK version better. ;)

Its has the notation "FBDO" in the bottom right corner - it would seem odd that they would include this acronym at the time of the first release in 1986.

Most -- if not all -- Indian posters incorporate Hindi typography somewhere in the design.
Lebanese posters usually use different art, are all-English and measure 28x40.

I'm betting it is from Lebanon.

Post by: brude on July 21, 2014, 10:01:03 PM
No links to HA or Emovie, but there is at least one Lebanese poster seller on Ebay -- ajconsignments07.
Here's a search of his current inventory with 'Lebanese' in the search:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&item=390534328244&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&_osacat=18828&hash=item5aeda8efb4&_ssn=ajconsignments07&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xlebanese&_nkw=lebanese&_sacat=18828 (http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&item=390534328244&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&_osacat=18828&hash=item5aeda8efb4&_ssn=ajconsignments07&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xlebanese&_nkw=lebanese&_sacat=18828)

There are varying sizes amongst this list, but while some of their 'one sheet' ads say "40x27=100x70cm," when measured the 70cm (27 9/16) is closer to 71 cm (27 61/64).
It's been a while since I've bought anything from them (and I see the prices have gone up) but as you can see, many of the American titles use entirely diff designs and are all-English.
Many years ago, I bought a bulk lot of 1980s titles (maybe 20-25 romantic comedies) from a local collector.  They're all gone now, but I did sell one to Holiday a year or two ago. I can't remember the title (Hot Bodies?). 
Maybe he still has it and can measure it up?

I thought on the whole the prices were very bullish and somehow they did very well, I guess if you use thesaleroom etc then you get much more exposure. Again Vectis should take note of this as although their auction was far better catalogued the end result wasn't as good in my humble opinion

Yeah, I bid on the ZFE quad and the American Werewolf set as well Paul.  No luck apparently.  Do you happen to remember what the Dalek Invasion Earth quad went for?  There was also a lot with a very rare Blues Brothers advance poster.  It looks like nothing went under the radar!

did anyone win anything at the Roger Jones Auction in Cardiff today, some excellent prices achieved (Vectis take note!)

Empire Strikes back quad and set of 4 DC's went for nearly £1000

I didn't win a single bid out of 20 I had going

I don't know how you guys find these obscure sites.  Never heard of it before.

I don't check blogs, so I wouldn't know anything about it.  This is one of those instances where I miss the Pirate dude.  He would have outed it in a heartbeat :). Too bad, I would have paid big $$$ on some items.  What I don't get is why collectors use unknown auction houses to sell their gear.  This one was outed, I guess, but most are not.

may not actually be the collector T
It could be a collector's heir as is very common in this type of situation
It could also be they have spoken to Christie's, Sotheby's and others and decided against using them.
They may have gotten a sweetheart deal from the selling auction.
The selling auction could be a friend of the owner.
also, as said in the other thread about UK-US consignments, the cost burden was onerous so the merch didn't come to the US
the seller may not have time for ebay

there are lots of reasons...

This was the collection of a Cardiff-based collector and a Cardiff-based auction house, presumably well regarded, was asked to sell it. Not much of a surprise really. London auction houses would have had zero interest in it. I think the lots were well presented (much better than the lots in the Vectis sale) and the sale appeared prominently on lot finder sites.

The only poster I needed (wanted) was the rolled Brazil quad as an upgrade to my folded copies but I could not be bothered registering for just one lot. Does anyone know how much that one sold for please?

I thought the Apocalypse Now poster was stupidly high...  The Easy Rider was unfolded but still too high... Rio Bravo was ok.  The Sabrina was on par given the issues.  The Giant RR was a steal since it was unfolded and very good to fine... Stolen Kisses was a bit high...

The How to Steal A Million was low under $100 @ $64...

I have heard a rumor of a Japanese cache that was not Holiday's some 9,000 posters.  Wonder where it will end up...

I don't think the B2 market was ever anything greater than any other market unless you get into some specific areas.  Armin has a great eye for what sells well, and great tastes for a collector.  Remember, B2's are quite common and I would expect just about every movie, good and bad, has them. That makes for a lot of stuff that's not worth a buck.

Dale said something here that is spot-on about auctions in general

People like to focus on the few percentage points worth of items that sell on any given day that are North of the perceived market norm, but the reality is that they never represent more than a few percentage points of the total offering. I estimated to a visitor yesterday that 1% of posters sold by auction sell for a crazy price (and that crazy price achieved one time will probably not be achieved again), 20% sell for their perceived "real value" and the rest all sell for ever decreasing prices in comparison to this perceived value.

In other words, though all sellers like to point at when a Gookums poster sells for $1000 when it is only a $200 poster, many more $200 posters will sell for $100 or $50 or less and this people do not advertise

The entire market is soft because #1 it is a small collecting hobby and 2) there is just too much material being sold on a regular basis into this small hobby.

the vast majority of posters sold via auctions are selling for peanuts

size of the hobby measured by population, not values.

collecting peoples in this hobby (and I mean collectors, not a person who buys a pulp fiction poster for una dn never buys more posters) are in the low 10s of thousands. maybe 20,000 people.

this is for instance unlike comic books, baseball cards, coins etc which may have a couple million collectors or at least hundreds of thousands
This can be measured in part by the number of comic book stores in America and the relatively small amount of movie poster stores

even another measure is the population of people on comics forums, which number 100x the amount of people on poster forums

Suncoast is a movie and movie related tchotchke store.  They were often found in shopping malls and hocked DVDs and related crap at or above retail (ie. way too expensive).  Your garden variety DVD for say Big Trouble in Little China would run you $24.  They are (were?) owned by TransWorld, the same folks that own Sam Goody and FYE.  Last I knew, they has closed most if not all of the Suncoast stores.

Anyway, most of the related merchandise in their store were closely tied to whatever was hot in pop culture at the time.  They had those Fight Club posters that looked and felt authentic except their size was a little off.  How off escapes me right now.  I think they had a few other posters in this same vein.  To me it always smelled like they were buying en-masse from moviegoods.com and snookering unsuspecting teenagers at a 30% markup.

Post by: jpicken on September 05, 2014, 10:30:39 AM
They would often sell posters from new or recent releases.  They sold the posters shrink-wrapped to a piece of cardboard.  There was a sticker on the outside of the packaging that claimed the poster was an "original" or "authentic" movie poster.  Always single-sided I think.  Size was usually a little off from the originals, but close. They were always close to 27 X 40.

Those Fight Club posters were one of the many titles they sold.  I remember they had Star Wars Special Edition Struzan posters and Star Trek titles. Basically, titles that would appeal to their target male demographic.  For example, I don't think they reprinted Pretty Woman, even though it was a popular movie. (If they did, I'm sure Cinemasterpieces has all the copies)

I think the Suncoast issue was something discussed on MPT back in the day.

Did I miss anything?

I doubt it, because I am relatively confident Bruce and his staff know how to tell the difference.  In that respect, it might have been worth the price for those from his place.  Because, they are almost impossible to buy elsewhere.

I am absolutely saying that they might be since the listed measurements didn't seem precise enough.  Bruce has sold other 'smaller' versions in the past, and had noted the difference at the time. I was surprised that they didn't clarify the description in these auctions, since Bruce usually errs on the side of caution...

I have a suncoast poster for the movie 29th Street - so it wasn't just blockbusters.  I remember seeing the Pitt and Norton Advances there as well.  They also sold lobby cards - Dracula and Nightmare Before Christmas are ones that I remember.  I am certain that the NBC have been sold as originals since then - even though they never reached US theaters. 

That thread was born out of a much longer discussion (mid-auction thread maybe?)...

$1475.00 for this Australian OS from 1936 for Orphan of the Wilderness. Is this a rare poster? Or is it more because of it being from 1936? Is Aussie material from back then much harder to come by?

if yu look at my post which is now in the other related thread, my postulation is that the person who won the poster at Heritage traded the poster off to someone else who consigned it to the recent auction. The reason being that when you buy from a Heritage Signature Auction, you get a certificate that say Heritage will take it anytime for one of their auctions free of any fees for the person who bought the poster or their heirs. So if the person who bought it was still the person who owned it, I would think they would consign it back to Heritage. So I think it was traded off for something the owner wanted more

$1500.00, as originally listed, seems high for this 1949RR.

emovie sold the '49RR insert in 2007, for 26 bucks.

I thought the same given HA offer. Unless it was a post auction buy in which case you don't get that HA offer and he or she went to Bruce? I didn't get that offer on my post auction buy so I assume HA only issues that guarantee or offer if you buy it at auction.

Or maybe they forgot to include mine in the post. ..

This Pakistani poster for The Invisible Man sold recently for $99.00 on ebay. The Pakistani seller said it was from the first release in the 1950's. No release year was noted on imdb, so it could be a possibility. (In Turkey, IM was released in October of 1934).

$150.  It was leatherbound, had 16 extra pages of posters not in the regular hardcover, but most important it included a numbered original print by Hugo Award winning artist Bob Eggleton that was hand signed by actors Akira Takarada (star of the original 1954 Godzilla) and Haruo Nakajima (Godzilla himself).
So I can't say that price is due to me, it was mainly them.

But I am glad that people like the regular one enough that it is selling for nearly triple the original presale price.  :)

Vectis have had their poster sale today.  At the time of writing, they are now looking after the toy section.

Many lots were withdrawn prior to the auction, and many lots did not sell on the day.

Possibly the biggest success were the three Man Golden Gun Marler Haley DCs that went for ~£200-£300 each!  Superb result.  Wondering if the fella(s) who got those were completing a collection...

"Many lots were withdrawn prior to the auction, and many lots did not sell on the day."
I would suspect this is due to the problems with bidding on line as mentioned before.
Shame, it could have been good. It leaves the door open for someone to do it properly!

"Many lots were withdrawn prior to the auction, and many lots did not sell on the day."
I would suspect this is due to the problems with bidding on line as mentioned before.
Shame, it could have been good. It leaves the door open for someone to do it properly!

Basically, one chap withdrew to reinsert in the Vectis December auction.

The bidding on the Vectos site all seemed fine, I did make one minor purchase without problem.

Very cool poster, for sure, Matias!  thumbsup.gif  It has that vivid silkscreen look to it.

Side factoid: The film was first released in Germany in 1932, but the English dubbed version was not released in the US until December, 1940.  (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023640/releaseinfo )  (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023640/companycredits?ref_=ttrel_ql_5)

$150.  It was leatherbound, had 16 extra pages of posters not in the regular hardcover, but most important it included a numbered original print by Hugo Award winning artist Bob Eggleton that was hand signed by actors Akira Takarada (star of the original 1954 Godzilla) and Haruo Nakajima (Godzilla himself).
So I can't say that price is due to me, it was mainly them.

But I am glad that people like the regular one enough that it is selling for nearly triple the original presale price.  :)

yep.. I sold a copy last week for $150.

Even in the condition it was in, it still sold for $479.00

That Kong poster is too far gone for me.  Don't mind the holes and border damage so much, its just the awful fading of the colors. 
This is how it should look, minus the OBVIOUS and glaring color enhancement by HA.

Yeah.. the fading is a bit tough, that's for sure...  :'(

And by contrast, the HA copy sold for almost 10x as much! ($4481.25 inc BP).

I missed so many posters I wanted to bid on last night in Bruces auctions, I wish he would setup a batch bidder of some kind. I cant be the only one that misses bidding all the time. Keep the extended bidding, just add a batch bidder so people can set and go. I know I can bid anytime, but I dont like giving other people days to think about raising their bid, then I get busy and dont bid at all. Frustrating..

To be fair on the Bond poster -- to my knowledge it is the only english-language poster to surface that has Mads on it.  Possibly from any country.  This is also the only copy I've ever seen.  So for the Bond completist, it would definitely be a unicorn for that film.

But it was only English language due to the fact there were no credits of any sort on it.

Stick a credit on it, Someone starring as... for example, all of a sudden it is Swiss (Italian, German, French).  This version did not appear in the British English world.

This is a good example of what you should NOT DO at emovieposter, which is get in a stupid bidding war and end up spending way more than you should.  My limit on this poster was $50, because I think it's a commercial poster and I don't collect them.  I liked the design, though, and the title is one of my favorites, so I went for it.  Retrospectively, I'm glad I stopped because I would have been pissed to win it.  It's still a pretty cool poster, but too much, imo.

But there is much worse.  For a Spidy printer's proof teaser with writing all over.

When something like this pops up, some Harry Potter characters OS come to mind, I can't help but question its authenticity and I stay clear.  It's so easy to reprint now.  Could be this one guy who played on his computer and decided to have it printed.  And then it shows up at Bruce's.  If I don't know FOR SURE that it is legit, I can't open my wallet.

I'm guessing because it's 20x28in.  I've seen Japanese posters like this before, but you're right, there is no way to know for sure.  I'm pretty sure it's a commercial poster, though.  Rare for sure, but not theatrical.

rare in auction listings maybe? Who says this poster wasn't sold by the millions at Wal Mart and aren't sitting in people's closets just waiting to come back out if they aren't thrown out first?

Rare because I've been collecting Alien stuff for a while, I know what I'm still missing because I have seen it before, but I didn't know I was missing this one.  Although I don't really think I'm missing it if indeed it is a commercial print.  And I own enough Japanese posters now to know that it doesn't look theatrical.  I'd love for Holiday or Dale to chime in.

If they are not for sale then yes it is rarity in the market.  The market does not factor in unknown quantities of hypothetical posters (even if they do ultimately exist).

It's like denying a Bride of Frankenstein teaser one sheet is rare because only has been listed for sale recently and "there could be a stash of 50 behind someone's walls"...

I can't say without actually seeing the poster in hand.  It's not attractive to me, and it looks like art from disparate posters slapped together on this thing.  I do agree, though, that my first choice is that it's NOT theatrical.

What proof or evidence is there that this is a Japanese B2 poster in the first place? (dimensions aside). It looks like a commercial poster that could have been handed out at Carls Jr or Wendy's, for some cross promotional tie-in.

I looked at the original posting but couldn't tell anything from that picture.  I agree that other than the dimensions, there's nothing to indicate it's Japanese.  What would help is actually having the poster in hand to get a feel for the paper.  Call me crazy, but even the smell of the paper and the ink too would help figure out if it's Japanese or elsewhere.

not the meaning Chris.. the meaning is: just because WE have not seen it does not make it some rare poster. If it was sold in the millions at Wal Mart (I mean the real Wal Mart) would anyone here have noticed?

I do guarantee that now, everyone who goes a flea market this week will notice it now. I showed it to Sean.. he has no idea why anyone thinks it's Japanese either.

Presumably it was sent to Bruce in a lot of Japanese B2s and it does share the same measurements.  I myself bought a theater lot of Japanese B2s (some of which will soon be for sale!) and in it were several posters like this Aliens poster.  One is a Gremlins poster, which T does not know yet but I'll be donating it to him.  Anyway, the few that I have are usually very close to B2 in size, but sometimes of a bit larger than the regular B2 size variations.  Some are double sided as well -- with a different image on the back.  They have no EIRIN mark and no fine print other than a copyright and "all rights reserved" language (printed in english).  Interestingly enough, despite appearing to be commercially printed they did get used in theaters on occasion -- possibly just to supplement the official paper.  At least they did in the theater I got my posters from -- they were in the stacks right along side the regular B2 posters.

B2's are close to double crown size, so someone might want to take an exact measurement. Bruce does not measure each poster, and he may have assume it was b2 for the reasons Mr. Caul noted with it being in a lot of b2's. Could actually be something else.

I do guarantee that now, everyone who goes a flea market this week will notice it now. I showed it to Sean.. he has no idea why anyone thinks it's Japanese either.

however, considering that some advertising earlier this week indicated that all other dealers mis-describe material but they don't (and this was part of a discussion on MoPo this week)  makes this poster sale a pretty good bookend to that particular conversation

Yes, he has before. It's not an aspersion at all.  I know from my own personal experience, though, that b2's are precise in their measurements.  You can stack 100 and the edges will line up perfectly.  So, if a stack comes in, but on in the stack is off by a few mm, and it only takes a few to go from b2 to double crown, it would be easy to miss it unless they are all lined up perfectly.  

This is all guesswork until someone actually measures it.  And, knowing bruce, he will refund for any reason even if Filip changed his mind after reading all this.

I just found my Gremlins photos... this one was definitely printed in Japan.  And again, even though it arrived to me in a stack of theater used posters, I still feel like it's something that was commercially printed.  It doesn't surprise me really -- if most of the printers there are equipped to pump out B2 sized posters, it only makes sense that their commercial Wal-Mart/dorm room prints are the same size. 

Gremlins commercial B2?

oh it wouldn't surprise me one bit that the same poster printers print theatrical and commercial posters for different clients
that's the nature of the printing business

but still, that Gremlins poster does have Japan info on it. the Aliens poster has no such text. That doesn't mean it may not be Japanese, or if it's a poster only for the Japanese market, that it may not have been printed here and shipped there.

I certainly can't find how I could consider it a Japanese teaser poster and if someone submitted it to me as such, I would have sought more "expert testimony" so to speak, so I could know that I am really selling what I say I'm selling

there is nothing wrong with commercial posters. Saying they suck wouldn't be any different than beanie babies collectors saying movie posters suck or baseball collectors saying comics suck. It's all the same. If we didn't collect commercial posters, then most of the "art prints" that are being collected (the non-Alamo posters that are not for theatrical showings) suck. I wouldn't agree with that.

the best commercial posters are the Endless Summer 30x40, barbarella & Raquel posters (to us at least) and I am certain I have at least a few commercial posters in my movie poster collections

but that isn't the debate of course. the debate is it's a commercial poster, not a theatrical one"

Yes, but both your studio posters have the proper English title.  If you look at my Gremlins poster they use the English title and there is no Kanji/Katana on the poster -- same as the Aliens.  Don't think that proves anything. Now if they wrote Alien 2 in English on your poster and Aliens on the commercial poster then maybe it would mean something...

But Gremlins was actually printed in Japan, this Aliens poster was not.
It's not pictured in the back of the program book, so it's not an item that was for sale at the theater like many Japanese pieces, and I asked a couple of other collectors in Japan about it and they were not familiar with it.

Really don't think it's Japanese.

Hi filip.

 the Aliens poster you won on emovie a few nights ago has been discussed here on apf..in the post auction thread.

 You might want to take a read...

 It seems that this poster is NOT a Japanese B2, as described in the auction, but just a commercial poster of some kind (with similar dimensions). Aliens was released in Japan with the title, Alien 2. Rich H discovered that piece of info out.


I did not bid on it . i've actually never bid on anything at emovieposter  ... may i presume that my name , filip , is so unique that when there's an ID on emovieposter called filip1 , it has to be me ?

Really don't think it's Japanese.

What other countries regularly print in B2 size, though?  Also, it could have been printed in Japan, it simply doesn't state it.  As witnessed by the Gremlins (and some others I have) they definitely printed English language commercial posters in Japan.  Maybe they were intended for the large US military contingent and their families? 

Whether this Aliens poster is one of those is of course still up for debate, but I haven't seen any convincing arguments that it ISN'T Japanese yet.

That is a strong price for that poster. Normally the rolled ESB advances sell in that range. Then again they do not show up often, less even than the Ohrai version that I am still looking for.

The seller I have spoken to before on E-Bay has a lot of nice pieces but is on the high end of pricing in my opinion. Quick response to questions though.

Really??
why because it's the same size as a B0??
are you kidding?
I have Pulp Fiction reprints that are exactly the same size as originals, does that make them real?

There is absolutely nothing on that poster that would indicate it was printed in Japan. There is nothing there to indicate it is a theatrical poster
I'll be $20 if you go to Wal Mart, K-Mart, Target and some other stores, you can find commercial posters in that size and others sizes as well.

The job is not to show why it can't be a Japanese poster but to show how it can be a Japanese poster

you've already heard from Sean.. He doesn't believe it's a Japanese poster. His Japanese friends don't believe it's a Japanese poster. It doesn't show up in Japanese programs.
There is no evidence at all to conclude it is a theatrical Japanese movie poster. at least none that I or Sean can see

Way to totally distort what I posted.  I NEVER said it was a theatrical poster and I'm not trying to argue that it is.  In my very first post on the subject I said it was likely a Japanese commercial poster.  I wouldn't expect Japanese theatrical poster collectors to know much or care about a commercial print.  Nor would I expect for it to show up in any studio literature or press materials.

Given that it is exactly B2 size I personally believe it has a higher chance of having been printed in Japan than anywhere else.  If we knew more about who and how it was consigned I think that would be useful.

again, there is no data or information to posit the item is Japanese, but more to the point, the item was sold as a theatrical teaser.
Considering Sean's expertise in this area, I would go with what he says (after all, he did have 1-2 stores in Japan for a while. Did you know that he can read and speak Japanese also? I was surprised when I found out, when he read something off a folded poster at the warehouse. My back was turned at the moment at my desk. I slowly turned my head and with a surprised look asked "You can read that!?!")

And I was one of the first to question the description -- I said that it looked similar to other commercial Japanese posters I'd seen.  If you really think other countries were pumping out B2-sized commercial posters then I guess we'll just have to disagree.

Here are my two cents on the poster:

1. It's no Japanese cinema poster. Neither a teaser, nor a regular poster. For such a huge release it could not be displayed without an Eirin mark. Also, a teaser for Japan makes no sense at all without a title in Japanese.
2. The size indicates it was probably used in Japan, Taiwan or South Korea.
3. It could be a commercial poster used in Japan. Possibly as a give-away to cinemagoers (such as the double-sided GREMLINS poster that was posted here) or maybe it was a premium for the soundtrack release or something similar (LD, VHS, toy tie-ins etc.)

Revenge of the Jedi No Date poster

Curious if people here feel this was a good buy considering condition was not all that great. Personally I think it went on the low end and expect to see it backed buy someone and in Bruce's actions soon.

Even though Matt's probably right, there are way too many dated versions in good shape for my taste to even want to bother... Also, yet another example of why staying away from 'modern' linenbacked posters is a good idea...

A beautiful Argentinean OS for I Am A Fugitive From a Chain Gang (1932), sold for a best offer. The listed BIN was $1200.00 USD.

What a great image. Lots of tape of the back, so it will need a bit of TLC, but overall, it's  bed1

Post by: Filmlobbycards on October 22, 2014, 05:59:36 AM
That is a pretty soft result for that card considering the condition...probably because it's an eBay listing shipping from Japan...it's the "meh" dwarfs style that has always had mixed results....in the last 2 years or so that style sold for $1175 & $857...Now $660....Disney posters have some of the wildest swings for similar condition material in the market....they always have....on the flip side the style "c" one sheet is one of the nicest pieces from 1937...Come to think of it 1937 isn't a great  poster year for the most part...small format posters might actually be more fun that year...inserts, half sheets, lobby cards etc.. But then again that Angel 3sht with Marlene is a decent consolation prize for those that can't snag a Red-Headed Woman one sheet (1932)....as a side note there were some damn cool letter work/font/title designs in 1937... The red trippy Marx bros. Lettering on the A day at the races insert, the font on the Angel 3 sheet and The stardust fade cursive on the Paris expo French petite ....oh and the marked woman X design....Fun stuff

Thanks for all the wishes people!

As for the poster, I do think is for the original release, don't ask me why, but it does not look like a rerelease.
What I do know is that the seller (superetendard) is doing something in the line of Cinemasterpieces' "Special orders"
He's listing posters he does not own yet, with high BIN prices and when he makes the sale on ebay, purchases the poster from another local seller who does not sell internationally.

The house of dracula he has listed at $1200 here:

can be bought at around $700 here:

That's unlikely to happen Jay. The original owner of the posters very rarely sells them. His prices are too high for the local market (as there is not a lot of poster collectors down here, and the few that exist are not willing to pay high amounts). For foreign collectors, the $700 he is asking for the House of Dracula, can be seen as a low price, but $700 is the equivalent of an average salary down here. The exchange rate is 8,5 pesos for 1 dollar...

Yes, mercadolibre (like ebay) is like a lottery, you can get some great sellers and others not so good.

Bruce at emovieposter has auctioned some brazilian posters (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/search/brazilian/type/Brazilian/archive.html)
You can set an account and creat an alert that will let you know when brazilian stuff comes up for auction.

That's why the watermark on picture or even better a small paper with code/ID on item is a MUST !!  Even in forum like this one where collectors share their last purchase... as lurkers steal the picture and put it on sale at higher price on the bay, a classic method !!

I can't believe a place like Posteritati would bid $850 on a $50 to $100 poster.  The 1956 version is pretty rare and certainly much more expensive, but the 64' re-release version can be easily found and I know Posteritati is aware of it.  It is their job to know things like that.  So what happened?  Anyone?

Below are my 2 versions...  56 and 64.

I can't believe a place like Posteritati would bid $850 on a $50 to $100 poster.  


Perhaps he has a buyer lined up already?

If you had a buyer in mind, wouldn't you try to get it for $100?

Intemporel has it for 300 euros (and you know they're making a lot of money at this price.)

-black gun/black gun edition
-red gun/black gun edition

2 different editions imo with the first prolly being rarer from what I've seen........

I guess it's possible Rotolito existed pre-'65 but with so little info out there it's hard to know.

I dunno...the bottom 17 inches are completely recreated so it's legitimately only approx 3/4 of an authentic poster.

But yes the important art is there and it does look great.

And the re-created bottom credits, compared to an original, are quite a bit off, spacing and font wise, in a number of places, too. Along with this pretty glaring typo:

For sure...

This poster has always intrigued me, for the fact that no where on it is the Universal name nor Carl Laemmle's name. Universal had a distribution arm in France in 1935 (and prior). Look at the French BRIDE OF FRANK 1Ps, for example, also from 1935, or those earlier (Frankenstein, Invisible Man) These all had the Universal and "Carl Laemmle presente" name/ tag line on them.

Yet this poster indicates that the film was distributed by a company called R.A.C. (Realisations D'Art Cinematographique).

Why would this have been? (just wondering out loud here).

And is it possible that this is not a first release poster? Again, just curious as to the possibility.   dontknow.gif

Heritage has this to say about it "Here is a fantastic Thierry hates "Thierry hates "French Grande"" with magnificent art by one of France's best, Jean Rene Poissonnie, in one of his early posters. Due to the nature of his signature, we believe this to be the early original French release"

Obviously HA didn't actually mention Thierry's French idiosyncrasies

Ive read that HA description, too -- but, to me, it still doesnt explain the lack of any Universal or Laemmle reference on the poster. All the others of those years were distributed by Uni in France and bore that info. And why did the French distributor, RAC, handle this one? And even with it being distributed by this company for some reason, the poster should still mention it being a Universal Picture, shouldn't it?

So it has always had me doing a bit of head scratching and  hmmm.gif ( I'm curious like those darn cats, i guess).

Are we talking about the "U" in prUduced?  I think its just a faded O, rather than a typo.  The D seems to be fading as well.

The 2 "tails" of the U in the word prUduced look awfully "solid" to me, as well as the shape of the letter, as compared to the second U. Sure, it could be faded, but the tops of the so-called "O" don't fade away. The top of the letter just ends, as one would draw the letter U

Anyhow..it caught my eye and I pointed it out... as it looks like a "U" to ME..  ;)

3K? wow... where was this one sold? Do you have a link?

The only ones i found were on HA (linen backed) all sold from between $12.5-17K, and a couple that emovie sold, (also backed) in the early 90's that went for $4400-4600 dollars. But being those were quite a while ago, they may not reflect potential current selling prices.  ;)

Yes...that was my point Jeff. Clearly didn't write it properly.  I was being ironic, I meant for 2.5k you get a heck of a poster. Obviously the real complete thing would be more and perhaps out of reach for that buyer. Im happy for the owner.

I was thinking...like....  Say..i find  a Valentino 3 sheet like the one Bruce sold years ago..with chunks of missing paper...and say i get it for 3k  Frankly my dear, I wouldn't give a damn.   You bet i will be the happiest collector.

Really? Fading is a process that affects large parts of a poster. These kind of 'typo's" surely are a result of some kind of handy work, too much bleach in one spot for example or negligence with restoration.

This nice Chantrell quad for LONG HOT SUMMER (1958), sold for just under $43.00 USD. It was folded, and, according to the seller, this copy had come from Ireland, where the censor opted to paint the young lady's slip or dress black, at the bottom of the piece. But if water based paint was used, that would be an easy fix!  :D

Overall, tho, not a bad price at all, imo. Someone did good!

Here's an interesting one that ended on emovie a short time ago. This japanese B2 for the bogart film, The Harder They Fall (1956). It sold tonight for $39.00

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA141104/550/japanese_b2_harder_they_fall_HN00993_C.jpg)

Per the description, this poster is glued to another B2, which is the cause fro the rippling and added creases. What possible goodie could lie beneath? Tho it is likely that the folks at emovie put it on a light table to try and see if there was some buried gold back there.  ;)

As a side note, this very same poster sold on HA, back in Aug of 2007, for $239.00 (inc the BP). Nothing like a 200 loss, seven years later. Ouch!  Doh.gif

This nice Chantrell quad for LONG HOT SUMMER (1958), sold for just under $43.00 USD. It was folded, and, according to the seller, this copy had come from Ireland, where the censor opted to paint the young lady's slip or dress black, at the bottom of the piece. But if water based paint was used, that would be an easy fix!  :D

Overall, tho, not a bad price at all, imo. Someone did good!

The most expensive poster sold on eBay recently, The Creature from the Black Lagoon six sheet.

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/creature6sheet_zpsf22f23b1.jpg) (http://s766.photobucket.com/user/NeoLoco80/media/Posters/creature6sheet_zpsf22f23b1.jpg.html)

It sold for somewhere between $35,000 and $41,000, according to the recent "completed listings" link, which also shows a few other very nice posters.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=poster&_sop=3 (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=poster&_sop=3)

A few from Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West shows.

One of these three sheets is at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, in Cody, Wyoming.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West poster of Native American Chief Red Cloud.

The third most expensive sold on eBay recently, for $12,000, In 2 Days to North America!  I'm not a fan of pieces with Nazi symbolism, although I understand the historical aspect of items from that time, this poster has awesome art of the Hindenburg Zeppelin and the Manhattan skyline.

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/In2DaysToNorthAmerica_zpsdb7a59eb.jpg) (http://s766.photobucket.com/user/NeoLoco80/media/Posters/In2DaysToNorthAmerica_zpsdb7a59eb.jpg.html)

The photo is from the Smithsonian, from this link: http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?object=nasm_A19900975000 (http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?object=nasm_A19900975000)

Also from the link: Throughout their history, posters have been a significant means of mass communication, often with striking visual effect. Wendy Wick Reaves, the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery Curator of Prints and Drawings, comments that "sometimes a pictorial poster is a decorative masterpiece-something I can't walk by without a jolt of aesthetic pleasure. Another might strike me as extremely clever advertising … But collectively, these 'pictures of persuasion,' as we might call them, offer a wealth of art, history, design, and popular culture for us to understand. The poster is a familiar part of our world, and we intuitively understand its role as propaganda, promotion, announcement, or advertisement."

I do love the artwork, but I'm definitely surprised to see such a high result.  "1970s Mexican poster" and "high prices" do not usually go together.  Makes me glad I already have an unbacked copy in near-mint condition.

When looking at the the first and second place "winners" in HA's auction this weekend, it is amazing to realize that there was a $412,275.00 difference between first and second place -- with number 2 being the awesome, French 4P for King Kong, that went for $65,725.00

Ben, here's a pic I snapped of the doors... they had remounted the handle hardware, so that was good to see. The windows, tho, were replaced at some point with the multi-colored plexi that can be seen. (I lightly tapped on it, (with permission), and its not the original clear glass or plexi, as was seen in the film). Again, the doors were probably re-used and re-purposed for a later film, and the production wanted the widow glass in shades of color.

Thanks for the pic and info, Jeff.

The original glass being there now would only be a bonus it wouldn't bother me buying it (if I were in the running) with the plexi in there.

The actual doors, and their patina, are just incredible. Very cool.

It would be good to find a color LC or other material to see if the doors were actually that shade of green in CASA.

Chances are, those were repainted, (in the distant past), as well.  ;)

there is probably one guy in the audience who just got his trust fund and is going wild spending more money than they were previously allowed to.
the underbidder is probably "making them pay"

otherwise we have to account for 2 bidders who would have done well to get some education

I'm just getting home... and don't see a final result / sale (or anything in the listing on Bonhams) for the Mark Of the Vampire OS.

It doesnt say "withdrawn"... its simply skipped over (Lot 347), in the results and isnt there, going from Lot #344 to the next, #349.

Not a clue...  dontknow.gif

UPDATE:

The Mark of the Vampire OS did NOT sell yesterday. (The person who posted to MOPO was actually at the auction, and thought it had sold for some reason  dontknow.gif).

Apparently the high bid got to $100K, but with the low end estimate  being $150K, it looks to have been passed on.

If LAM isn't a horror movie then this remake wouldn't be either, correct?  Maybe that's why horror fans didn't value it as high?   :P
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: erik1925 on November 25, 2014, 03:03:52 PM
Mark was not an exact remake of LAM. Some story elements and characters were changed or added to.. and of course, playing up on the Browning/Lugosi success with Dracula a few years before. Browning did make this version more of horror/vampire-themed story.

In LAM, (from the reconstruction and script) there is a scene where Chaney is shown putting on his vampire makeup, to go under cover, so this is quite different than films which featured a blood sucking creature/monster (Nosferatu, Dracula) as a principle character.

In the end, the audience learns, too, that Lugosi and Borland were also 'actors' in Mark -- hired to help trap the real murderer.

This film, tho, was more promoted to be a horror movie-- and the Lugosi/Browning re-team was certain to help that element, too.

not sure why anyone would bag on the LAM poster.
who cares if it is or is not a pure horror movie - It's a Lon Chaney movie.
The reasons for the poster to bring big dough is that no matter if it is a horror film or a crime film - or in actuality, a hybrid of the two - it is a classic film by film fan standards and the poster is at this point at least, one-of-a-kind.

whether the people in this thread, none of us (including myself) who could afford it under any circumstances (winning a lottery withstanding) think it is over-pricedm under-priced, correctly-priced or even worthy of any price is insignificant. It is a historically important piece and the people who bid could afford whatever they want. If Kirk or Ralph or anyone else was the winner, all they care about is what they think, not what we think.

Todd is one of the most dedicated collectors....and one of the boundary pushers in our hobby..
He routinely ” tests” the market to see what direction his pieces AND the horror market are heading...he does this by switching his high end posters at different major auction house venues.....if you get a chance to buy the 1997 Sothebys auction  book where he sold The Mummy one sheet....and an assortment of super rare posters from the Golden age of Hollywood...its a time capsule of where the hobby was....it was a daring single collection sale

I didn't think this poster will go for this much over $5,000 at HA sig given its restoration (assume as others pointed to me it is the same restored copy). I am a HUGE Marion Davies fan...

I did note that a large number of the lots barely acheived half their lower end estimates.

you can only sell the same things over & over so many times.
yes these Bond quads are popular, but they're also expensive & the audience is not endless at those prices
so as the wealthiest spenders fill out their checklist, you start working your way down the economic ladder and the price follows the wallet

this isn't just for posters, it's simple economics in any field for any product even at standard retail stores

There is another Dr No quad available in Bonhams UK which may be more realistic.

Nor should you be.  Could not predict this result but who knows it may have been your copy (if John got his hands on it somehow)?

Was watching this to see where it goes as it is one of my favorite Disney posters. Was this a good price, bad price, steal?

Spanish Fantasia (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574860769&toolid=10001&campid=5337388159&customid=&icep_item=151492165054&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg)

I think the attraction to this Spanish poster is that it uses the same artwork as the style B 1-sheet that sells for $15-20K!  The Spanish text on it is minimal and subtle making it a pretty cheap alternative.

And by the way, if anyone wants one I have another copy already on linen -- better condition too!   ;)

Another great piece I was watching but not planning on bidding on, giving a little more credence to the idea that Uni horro is indeed coming down, a 52R Realart half sheet for Dracula at just over $1500.00.

Angst? Not really, if you are happy with what you paid for your poster that is all that matters.

This being a post auction thread, I think this stands out to me as a poster going for a ton more than I would have anticipated, despite its rarity factor.

There are several posters that get much more than anyone would pay. This is just one of those, for me personally.

This post doesn't make sense to me at all.

Obviously, it didn't get 'much more than anyone would pay' since at least 2 people were bidding it up.

The other statement I think translates to "a ton more than I would have paid for it" which is your right.  That applies to me for lots of posters, but I don't think poorly about those who value a poster more highly than I do, or who have resources beyond mine.

This guy had/has UK (?) video posters for Mad Max, The Road Warrior, and Beyond Thunderdome, that didn't sell.

They're in frames, and listed as "collection in person only" in the UK.  I sent an email asking if he/she would remove them from the frames and ship them to the US, but he/she didn't reply.  Looks like they may be a little faded, especially Mad Max, although it could be that the colors are different for the video and theater versions, or maybe it's just un-boosted colors, bad lighting, etc.  Anyway, they're pretty cool, IMO.

Cool tagline on the one for Mad Max.  Instead of the UK theater poster's "...pray that he's out there somewhere" this one is "pray that the tape's still here ."  8)

It seems that most people put the video versions' value at less (in many cases significantly less) than their theater counterparts.  Although these are pretty darn rare, and of course very cool titles and artwork, they don't appear to be in great condition, so the starting prices were a little high IMO.  The fact that he/she didn't offer delivery also would limit the number of bidders, and possibly the final price, of course.

I have a handful of video release OS here... and since the art/design is basically the same as the theatrical OS, with the added "Coming soon to video" or something similar at the bottom or top. It is interesting, too, and I agree, how they are viewed as less valued ... i guess it might be the video stigma? or that its a later printing, often of a OS, with that added info? Dunno for sure, tho. Perception, too, might come into play.

I like the ones I have... and are twins, basically, to the theatricals.  ;)

Thanks. I am quite happy with the win.

Hey pokerplayr.....didn't realize you had joined.  And do not worry about causing angst.  I am pretty sure I may or may not have done the same with some of my antics in the past.  My favorite is to run one up to 4 figures using minimum bid increments ;D....  Anyway, enough about douchebaggery, what kind of poker do you play and where?

If that 2009 buyer is aware...he might be  crying crying crying

 ;D

there is a lot for poster collectors in general to cry about as concerns values Jeff.
facts are that the poster market - except for the rarities - is in something of a freefall, affected negatively by being a small market & having far too many posters unloaded via low value auctions.
You can't even just point to the older stuff diving anymore either as modern age posters are falling in values also in many areas because of the sheer quantity being pushed out into the market although there is also a considerable effect due to most of the poster biz now taking place by mail order as almost all movie poster stores - or comic book stores that also sold movie posters - evaporating.
The costs of shipping directly affect final values as do other costs, though shipping costs wouldn't have anything to do with expensive material, but the sub-$50 material is being destroyed by the communal affect of the factors.

the more expensive material is being exposed however for the size of the market and how when each buyer gets "their copy" how successive copies follow a downward trajectory as the market decreases with each collection that removes the poster from their personal list.

but it isn't just posters. Comic books and all other hobbies are suffering in the same fashion, though in comic books, the top of the market is bucking the trend.

steep decline in price. Heritage got $17,925 for a folded copy in 2009
http://movieposters.ha.com/itm/comedy/the-lady-eve-paramount-1941-one-sheet-27-x-41-/a/7008-85542.s

I thought that price was more the exception rather than the "average", if there is such a thing!

Though I suspect you are right re: freefall .
I have noticed that with some Western  posters.

All very interesting Rich.  Re westerns - I have a few of Bruce's auction catalogues from back in the early 2000s.  A lot of the Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, etc., sold for ridiculous amounts of money back then, not so much anymore.

I still like some of the spaghetti westerns though which I have mostly in French 1p or Italian 2F.

The drop can't happen soon enough for me.  Been trying to get some Buck Jones, Hoot Gibson, etc. representation in the collection for years, but won't pay the [old] prices.  Like sci fi too.  I think once they find their level it will be a good time to get in as long as you stick with quality - image, title, and star.

The Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome video poster above was apparently a little over-priced.  This one is in pretty good condition, and it sold for £0.99,

The seller certainly made a good effort on this listing:

Mad Max 3; arguably the best of the trilogy.

The film starred Mel Gibson and a ravishing Tina Turner.

Poster measures 20x30”, it has creases along most edges which I have photographed.

I think they add to the character of the poster, and would be largely unnoticeable in a frame.

This post doesn't make sense to me at all.

Obviously, it didn't get 'much more than anyone would pay' since at least 2 people were bidding it up.

The other statement I think translates to "a ton more than I would have paid for it" which is your right.  That applies to me for lots of posters, but I don't think poorly about those who value a poster more highly than I do, or who have resources beyond mine.

There was black and white text on the bottom...Paramount picture etc....the top is the trickier part...the Metropolis title (and background) on top was colored differently from set to set....as is the norm for many late 1920's cards....there are variances in hand tinting and printing...the background color behind the title Metropolis varied...As well as on the decorative left and right border artwork

One under appreciated aspect of authentication is getting to know the back blank paper side of the poster....these are essentially fingerprints of the style of printing and the nature of the paper....the bleed through is a key sign on any questionable Pre 1940's material...in this case the inconsistent red and black bleed is a nice sign

If you see the red on those trimmed card vs. what was sold at HA (for $4500!) it must be badly faded.  I can only imagine that all the cards should look closer to the colorful card above.

I think so Matt, they are too important not to.  Now, just trying to find a scan of the card to match the border.  Ira Resnick has one in his book Starstruck.  Fingers crossed he will send a Hi-res scan of it!  If anyone knows him, lemme know :)  
The missing art may just have to be made up, unfortunately, since I believe none of these have been seen before?

I'm happy we made it around to the topic of what will happen to these cards...

Restoration is a tricky and imaginative concept on these extremely trimmed lobbies...this auction was not under the radar....even without the potentially honest description of  "these have been sent to the 2 leading auction houses of movie memorabilia  at their request but they felt as a third party seller that they needed to much restoration for an auction item. the thought was e-bay would be the better vehicle for sale.".......there is the reality that these cards need a large amount of reproduction blended deftly with a very careful restorers hand, access to high resolution scans of an original lobby card, and enough integrity to forever acknowledge the extent of restoration...and that deminishes what they are and mutates greatly what they "would be"

There is a part of me that really feels that they need to stay "as is".. Without being paper backed and losing how they look and feel...the elephant in the room to me seems like adding scanned and printed photos concealed with clever blended restoration will FRANKENSTEIN these cards....I think that it would take away more than it would accentuate...

Thanks a lot for sharing that information. It is very good of them to say that it had been rejected by those 2 auction  houses.

I'd probably have them restored. I agree that it needs too much restoration. But the idea of seeing it in its full glory (or close to) is far too tempting.

Seems like a great deal on these.  Congrats to the lucky fella who won them.

Great info. from y'all.

Personally, my views on restoration have shifted in the last few years.  I'd probably leave these cards as is, assuming they're not falling apart or anything.  They're not heavily folded, missing any of the main artwork, etc., and the colors may just not look the same as the others in the photos, due to the camera, lighting, etc.  They're such classic pieces of history, and as the anti-restoration guys say "they're only original once."  

I just saw this link for the Morris Everett auction on December 17, with the only known remaining lobby card for Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.  It looks like the same one as in the eBay listing, so I assume they mean the only known fully intact LC.

Looks like an epic auction.  http://borg.com/2014/11/20/largest-known-collection-of-movie-lobby-cards-and-posters-hits-the-auction-block-in-december/ (http://borg.com/2014/11/20/largest-known-collection-of-movie-lobby-cards-and-posters-hits-the-auction-block-in-december/)

Hmm, that's a tough one.

I too would probably have had them restored but then we are flying too close to that other story of the Thunderball quad that had had the art cut out, linen backed and then all the titling restored on archival paper - which is probably what would have been the case here too.

That said, in percentage terms of square footage of paper restored, this would have been less than the quad.

Also, Thunderball quads are readily available.  These cards are not.

Really dunno...

how these cards sold for such a low price is beyond me. I've been so busy that aside from searching for my Chandler titles, I haven't been cruising ebay or I would have seen them and you can bet I would have bid much higher
have to be restored? so what! as long as they are sold as restored, there is no problem and these will be worth a pretty good chunk after wards regardless. Even if valued at one-tenth of the card Morrie has, they would still be worth at least a a few small thousands..

great pick-up for the buyer and I really wonder how they sold so low

Exactly. We talk about restoration and such when at the end of the day it's a Fucking Metropolis lobby card!!!  Yes it sucks it needs so much restoration, and it should be restored, and when it is, I'm sure it will look amazing.

Hammer daybills did reasonably well on emovieposter.

this was a bit cheap, but then not listed as hammer

good price for this as its not one of the "cool" hammers, but its pretty scarce poster, I would have paid that if i didn't have one.

There's nothing wrong with that trimmed card...it's a classic 1933 piece..after a quick restoration job it will look great..a restored window card sold last July at heritage for $5,300....

On a side note about 10 years ago I found a trimmed Duck Soup window card in the back of an old framed lithograph on eBay...I finally had it restored by Diane at Studio C...enjoy!

I have been looking at these lately. Does anyone know how many printings there were for these? I have seen two types so far. One with the large shadow around Karloff's head like the one linked below and one where the shadow is missing. Are these both first release? What kind of value should these have in good to very good condition based on Bruces grading?

Frankenstein Spanish Herald (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574860769&toolid=10001&campid=5337388159&customid=&icep_item=151501450239&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg)

The number of heralds printed is probably very big, as these were given away in the streets or theaters around all Spain.
This one is from the 30s and for a highly sought after title, so there are less around, but they're not extremely rare as other pieces.

Thanks Matias I have been looking at the first release ones and have not come across many from the early Uni stuff that was at decent prices and as you mentioned one like Franky are harder to find. I have found a small mountain of later releases and secondary titles like son of, etc. which in many cases seem to go for very little. Have not seen a Mummy at all yet if there even is one but really did just start looking at the various heralds so would not be surprised if there is one for it.

I did as Harry recommended shoot an email to Bruce asking about the fakes.

These heralds often have pretty nice artwork but they are just so tiny (4.3 x 5.5 inches or so when folded if you're going to display the 'cover' art - which is really the size of standard photograph) to keep my interest...

All I know is that PokerPlayr must not be a very good one...  Because he sure doesn't know when to hold and know when to fold.

As for the rolled, unfolded, folded debate - I believe Bruce uses those terminologies so as to be able to group posters together for shipping purposes

Bingo.

It sounds like a lot of his consignments are from collectors who store all of their posters flat. I do the same – – rolled posters get stored flat in a flat file and folded posters also get unfolded and stored flat in a flat file.

eh, that's only slightly above market value for a rolled Blade Runner in that condition.  HA sold one in lesser condition than that one for $896 in July.  And Bruce sold one for $626 in April.  IMO, $775 is probably 10%-15% above top end market value for that piece.  But, late 70s early 80s stuff (especially the high-end) has been on an upswing for quite a while.  Personally, I never like buying at the top of an upswing.  But, who is to really say if we are at the top?  Either way, I do not think it was as bad a buy as it might appear on the surface.  And for the record, I am not PokerPlayr............

I have the 40x60, and it is going into a frame within the week!

True Chris, though I worry a lot less with Bruce and his staff.  They have handled a lot of 80s posters, are honest, and will take it back for a refund if at any point you decide it is not the real McCoy.  That is not to say that there are not others who are honest, but I think many would price that thing at way above $775 in a retail setting.  Buying one from ebay or other such sources is a crapshoot and to be avoided unless it is just an incredible deal.  But, you are potentially tossing that money down the drain.  Its a risk vs reward game on a lot of those pieces these days.

Once its been (factory) folded though, its a folded poster end of story.  It ought to be in a folded poster auction.  In the grading section, they can talk about how long its been kept rolled and how it affects the poster, that is fine.  But calling them "formerly folded" and tossing them in among the "unfolded" auctions is odd.  its like calling it a Tier 1b rather than Tier 2. 

I'm not knocking The Bruce or EMP I'm one of their biggest fans. I dont mean to play semantics either.  It does lead to having to click around more though (pain in the arse) because its hard to tell from the main auctionpage thumbnail if the poster is an unfolded or formerly folded one.

Perhaps its just a clever way of including more folded posters outside of only "folded poster" auctions. I swear this all make sense in my head and is not semantics for me, although i'm not sure i'm getting it across here.    Doh.gif

To me, having everything grouped for lowest-cost shipments is way more important than having to be careful in reading the condition descriptions.  And besides, when he has "formerly folded" items in a rolled auction they are almost always pre-80s titles that are rarely found rolled. There were some exceptions last night of old posters that escaped the machine fold process – – most notably for me were the 2001 release star child and the man with the golden gun teaser.  There are a handful of studio posters from around that time that can be found rolled with patience, but NSS posters almost never turn up rolled.

Thanks and good point.  Shipping is a concern to me too, but i'm sure EMP would agree to fold a "formerly folded" poster and include it in a flat package for me.  They are pretty good like that.  Jason also made the point that folding a poster in some cases, even if originally a folded one, might damage it if its been flat for so long.  God I love learning. Maybe EMP should just have a definition/explanation of "formerly folded" bc its not clear just to say "been laying flat a while"  thumbsup.gif

If you take a formerly folded poster that has been laying flat for a long time which now has relaxed fold lines (and thus able to be rolled safely) and fold it up again to be shipped you are just asking for condition troubles once it arrives!

I changed my emovieposter name to something more anonymous to avoid the attention of one or two of Bruce's more competitive bidders. I think Pokerplayr is simply an enthusiastic newish collector who is keen to build up his collection quickly. Good luck to him. I have been targeted by the poster police on numerous occasions and their views have zero effect on the perception I have of a posters value to me.

I dont know what the value is on those whatsoever but the one he bought in this example is the only rolled copy ever auctioned on emovie.  
But Pokrplyr, sorry I did see some crazy prices but who cares really right?  It takes two to tango and somone was definitely doing the dance with you even on the first round of auctions that pokr was bidding on not too long ago. I agree I would definitely change my name after all this discussion if it was me because people do make you pay up on auctions just for the heck of it...or for many other reasons.

Its happened to me twice this year.  I doubt I'll ever see the posters again, too.  In any case, my strategy (shhh...) is to sell some excess material and save up and maybe, just maybe, one day, I can be a bully myself.

1st... Don't regret the post.

2nd... I called you out.  Either deal with it, fight back, or get smart. No body respects "contrite".  

3rd... I am a nice guy. I don't particularly care to hurt anyone's feeling.  But I stand by the "Hold em fold em" statement and "It's your money."  Sorry it ruffled your feathers.

4th... I am ignorant.  About you.  About your motives.  Why you are collecting.  So I am not sure why what I have to say should have any effect on you.

5th... You are ignorant about me...  If you stick around in the hobby long enough and are not just a flash in the pan collector, you will soon realize what can take years to realize.  99% of the time there will always be another one at some point; 1 year or 10 years... (also Bruce's greatest weapon for a newbie).  Not need to rush if you are in it for the long haul.  That is where I am at in my collecting and where I am coming from.    

6th... This is all about you!  Something else that can take some time, is understanding that the only person you should ever answer to in your collecting is you.  Fuck 'em all, not matter what is said.

7th... Don't quit the forum.  Grow a thicker skin, ask questions and everyone will be glad to help.  I'll be glad to help.  I'll say that I often thought of jumping ship many times when I started participating.  But enduring assholes like me made me a better collector.

To be honest (even though I was the one to have been labeled a loner psycho), I think poker has been being bid up and needs to change his ID.  I change mine every month or so to avoid the crazies...

In the grand scheme of things, people could point out anything that someone buys and say he/she paid too much.  Whether it's a $2.00 burger from McDonald's, a $50 burger at a fancy place, etc., people can find some way to say that the price is too much.  

Similar to you, PokerPlayr, I joined when a few people made some remarks about the Avatar lenticular (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,237.msg4485.html#msg4485) I had purchased at eMovie.  Of course, this is a similar situation, and in both cases, Ari has said it best, basically: buy what you like and can afford, and you can't lose.

Those were some good bidding battles for some rad items, PokerPlayr, and it's respectable that you participate here.  It would be cool if there were more folks like you on board here.

 cheers

I like Ari's motto...  But I believe (in hoarding fashion), "the better the deal, the more I can buy".

When I first started collecting heavy (~>$200/mo) and before I found emovie I had a guy that would offer me stuff.  I bought two Japanese posters from him in a bundle for $450.  One poster sold last week at emovie for $60 the highest in the last four times is was auctioned and the other sold for $39, $56 and $61 plus on ebay for ~$50... If I had been smart I could have four of each poster at this point 5 years later for what I paid.

@ Pokerplayr:  Take it easy, man...don't let others get to you.  This is almost-exclusively a testosterone field.  As a newbie, you're gonna get hip-checked into the boards once in a while by some of the "alphas".  Take it, get up, skate away and, when you see your chance, drive 'em through the boards...cleanly.

I started collecting in the fall 2014...immediately, irrevocably hooked!  Wife says it's a mid-life crisis...maybe.

I overpaid...really overpaid for some of my early stuff... examples:  120 Euros (plus shipping) for a First Blood poster...$355 (plus shipping) for a Dark Knight Joker "why so serious" poster.  But, you know what?  I wouldn't change a thing.  Those experiences have helped improve me as a collector ... I no longer buy a poster just because I want it bad ... I research ...research...research and research some more...then I set my limit on a poster ... then I stick to that limit...  it's worked for me and I've got a nice little collection now that I love and feel good about.

You may have deep deep pockets and don't care about overpaying ... if so, then carry on, my friend, and enjoy.  Just don't let others get under your skin...take it and then dish it out ... the forum is more enjoyable, for everyone, that way.

@ Pokerplayer. I've collected this stuff for close to 50 years and it is always a learning process.  Have I overpaid?  Ya sure, you betcha and on the other side I've had many a steal.  Bottom line is I'll overpay again and/or I'll make another steal somewhere down the line, but the enjoyment is never diminished because the Pile-o-Paper™ is more important to me than certificates with pictures of Presidents and Founding Fathers ;-).

Not sure why anyone rags on Pokerplayer---to each his or her own.  Pokerplayer has beaten me now on more than one occasion on some of the 007 stuff----more power to him.  I went as high as I wanted to go, he went higher.  No biggie.  There will be others.  Like others have said, sometimes you get deals, and sometimes you don't, but if you want it enough, then it's most likely a deal in your eyes, and that is all that matters.

Stay informed, buy what you like, pay what you're willing and can afford to pay, don't screw over others, and enjoy---these are my collecting tenets.

Interesting variety of prices on some stuff at eMovie lately.

Tonight, there were a few Japanese B1s I was planning on bidding on but didn't make it to the computer in time, and I wish I had bid earlier, especially because they went pretty cheap.  Looks like a couple dudes here won a few cool ones.  Congrats to y'all.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King sold for $9.  The last one I saw was a few years ago at Japanese Movie Poster Company, and it was around $150, and apparently he sold it in a lot of stuff for someone shortly after I asked him about it.  Anyway, it's pretty rad, with the oliphaunts (kinda like huge elephants).

I am hoping that the Thursday lots do really really well, I have a good dozen or so of them in there.  :)

I can tell you this, in person the rolled Raiders of the Lost Ark looks a thousand times better than the description makes it sound like. The lost boys is not too shabby either. Used to be an NM copy then it slid out of a tube and hit asphalt along with a few others when a cap popped off. Was not happy when that happened. I was not the one carrying the tube and wanted to choke them for holding it non taped end down when we were moving stuff. It had about 20 posters in NM condition. None are NM any more.

There were some unique Cate Blanchett posters that I wanted but they were in sets for Hobbit and Elizabeth.  Nothing you can really do when someone wants the set and is winning the other three.  I ran them up as much as I could make sense of...  That Hobbit poster was killer.

Ouch.  It stinks when something like that happens.  I was putting an ultra-rare poster in a sleeve recently, and the side was just hanging over the edge of my flat file cabinet, and I accidentally bumped into it and put a few tears in it.  Doh.gif

Same with the phrase "formerly folded." Once a poster has been folded, whether it has been laid out flat for years or not, doesnt take away from the fact that once it has been creased, it will forever and always be considered a folded poster (i would think).  ;D

I don't think COO is about location, not really, unless that country/s partially funded it.

eg, you might have a Spanish/Italian co production, filmed in Germany.

used for a decade.
then boiled up, the mush used as base for a glue to stick linen to a mint/unfolded, rolled, flat, possibly previously folded-rolled poster?

Definitely an over the top result on Derby Day...only the really classic early to mid 1930's our gang one sheets have historically done that well...I.e. the Kid From Borneo....all 3 silent our gang one sheets did well today...

As a side note ....hardly any paper survives from the early to mid 1930s our gang shorts....95% of all the material is from the silent films or the last few crappy MGM shorts that were one reel....silent lobby cards being the most common....and for some reason there are quite a few silent 3 sheets as well....but I cant remember ever seeing a 3 sheet from the prime early buckwheat/spanky era....Roach ended his Pathe arrangement in 1927..maybe the MGM deal ended the 3 sheets..

I'd love to know if this person is a collector or a dealer.

Notwithstanding the prices trending down on classic pieces (50s horror, this gun for hire, etc) and all the points made by Rich (which i agree with), clearly some people still see this stuff as an investment.  filip, ma500969... who the hell spends 35K on posters unless he is certain of the ROI ?

Same here. I always assumed he is a collector. I could not find the poster for sale anywhere else, so he must be a collector (unless he is one of those dealers that buy for other people)  He is in my black list..  moron1

Someone got a CRAZY great deal on the Gun Crazy six sheet at Bonhams in LA this weekend.  It was already framed beautifully and linen-backed, and the six-sheet went for $3750 (price already including the completely INSANE 25% BP).  I'm thinking it would almost cost 3k to frame and linen-back a sixer.

Congrats to the new owner!  It was stunning in person.

Yep - as is the case quite often - the investment on restoration, backing and/or framing doesn't equate back when selling

That's why in many cases taking on the additional costs should be done more for personal enjoyment

Interestingly enough this is the exact reason I have considered changing my default name on emovieposter to match my screen name here. For fear of being colluded against (while I feel this is actually low), but also for letting others get one once in a while.

You have a great eye my friend....that is one of the great undervalued posters of our hobby (especially compared to the prices of other 1934 one sheets)...there is actually a bunch to talk about when it comes to that poster and 1934 in general...1934 is one of the sneaky runners up of best film years...first the poster...20th century fox made the film...but United Artists handled the distribution...they went all out on the One sheet and half assed the other material (typical)..the title card is actually quite nice...but the lack of color compared to the one sheet is odd...After all UA released 20 or so films in 1934 vs. about 13 in 1933...that's a big change in advertising $$$...Come to think if it the French version of Les Miserables, moulin rouge, the merry widow and the gay divorcee were all competing as musicals with Fred and Ginger winning...stiff competition because Lubitsch was killing it during that period!

Now 1934 had a bunch of sneaky great films so the competition was unusual..hence the complete surprise of It Happened One Night sweeping the major categories...an absolutely wonderful surprise for a quick revised screenplay from a little known literary short story source called "night bus"....but let's get to the movie year

It happened One Night, the thin man, the black cat, Tarzan and his mate, of human bondage, Twentieth century, the merry widow, treasure island...dames, it's a gift, Babes in Toyland, cleopatra...Hitchcocks the man who knew too much (how much do you think the insert would fetch at Heritage?)...Manhattan melodrama, chan in London...and you have the first year of The 3 stooges culminating in them being nominated for an ACADEMY AWARD!!...One of the best our gang shorts ...and the write in ballot was introduced because of the vast protestation of both Bette Davis and Myrna Loy being snubbed...and a bunch of other very good films...

Anyway.. there is more to say... but those are the basics

Aw, shucks, thank you sir :)  It is a stunner of a poster.  I wish I had went with higher max, but it was hovering at 250 until 10 seconds before ending, so I was hoping it wouldn't sky-rocket. 
1934 definitely had its share of amazing films, probably was the year the a few genres were perfected (romantic comedy with IHON and murder-mystery/comedy, maybe dramedy(?) with The Thin Man).  I do believe it can go head to head with '39. 
Thanks for the informative and thoughtful post, I always enjoy reading what you have to say.

For the record, here is the thread at NSFGE, where several people chimed in on how to spot an original from a fake. http://stylec.yuku.com/topic/5750/Real-Fake-or-Real-Fake-Bruce-Posteritati#.VP98YuElnCo (http://stylec.yuku.com/topic/5750/Real-Fake-or-Real-Fake-Bruce-Posteritati#.VP98YuElnCo)

From Archie Leach: The original 40x60's for Res. Dogs and Pulp Fiction can be easily identified by having black bar on the poster. For Pulp Fiction, it has the date of October 21. For Res. Dogs, it's the 'Amazing, pumping powerhouse of a movie' quote. Also, the printing quality of the originals is superior.

that's a Fawcett Magazine Rosa.

back about 1986/7 three of my friends and I bought the contents of 2 small warehouses that were owned by Fawcett and Standard publishers who had by then been bought out by a larger company that wanted the space cleared.

we came home with a 24ft truck loaded to the gills with comic books, magazines, pulps, premium items and more from 1909-1961
all Fawcett publications there were 3 complete sets bound of each magazine, pulp & almost all the comic  books that were kept for each of the Fawcett bros.
there were also a duplicate complete set for each brother that were not bound. These magazines were all in newstand mint condition and I still have a box of them in my collection.
When we were selling these, it was like a feeding frenzy esp for the movie magazines

we also got a van full (an extended length Chevy) of original comic art & magazine illustration stacked 2 feet high front to back

it was loaded with great stuff and I still have some of that. I made almost 500k from that deal & still have over 200k left

WoW, thanks Rich, it must have been quite something getting all that material, I bet you guys had a good couple of days going through all  that stuff.

I don't know much about these magazines, so have no idea if they are valuable, rare or not. I was just surprised that something at HA made it at $1 (+ healthy BP). Who said you can't get cheapy stuff on HA!

It would have been better if he'd actually not misrepresented the part about it 'being sold in UK record stores' completely distorting the point that these were widely available all over the US.  About 6 or 7 years ago, there were well over 30 of these listed on ebay under separate auctions at any given time.

Was watching that one Matias.  Given past sales results might be more economical to wait for an insert that is complete?  Would be tough to restore those photographic elements.

But yes still a nice image!

Luckily, it looks like what is missing are just parts of her dress, whatever bench she was sitting on and the more generic /non descript looking background. Had it been her face.. that would have a been a real challenge to re-create, too.

Anyone know exactly what this one is for The Fifth Element?  According to the seller, it's 76x51 cm (?) or about 30x20 in. (the size of a double crown) and "plasticized."  Maybe a lenticular?

I didn't see it until after the auction ended, otherwise I may have bid on it. 

Yeah, it seems to be very rare.  On the close-up photos, it appears to be a plastic material, so maybe it's a double crown lenticular.

I am familar with that lenticular like plastic. Its very thin and the bubbles really looks good. There not a white backing in it.  I have had promotional bookmarks and small movie promo items with that exact plastic. I imagine the black elements are applied on and are kinda like a vinyl sticker material.

Impressive prices for these two that ended at eMovie tonight.

This Star Wars 30x40, in good-very good condition, sold for $950.  I think they usually sell for about 1/4 of that in similar condition.  Is it a rare printing or something?

I don't recall movieman's wins at eMovie, but it's interesting to see some familiar usernames of the folks bidding. 

Ne436820 was bidding on a lot of stuff tonight, and won the Lolita repro.  He and one other bidder propelled the price from $36 to $682.  :o

I will never understand why anyone spends any kind of money on 30x40in posters.  Those white borders are a killer, imo.  

This said, I did buy my FIRST and probably LAST 40x30in poster tonight at Emovie.  I only bought it because the image is actually framed equally within the border.

(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8697/16754094568_0252b1c6b1_b.jpg)

Oh, and because it's Bardot.

Now on the Lolita, the price is fair.  It is a classic image and the original pretty much doesn't exist.  The "repro" is the only available imagery by Soubie and is pretty rare itself.

That 30x40 featuring Ms. Bardot is a beaut.

I'm surprised that a lot of 30x40s are not as popular as one sheets, although there were some good results for them at eMovie tonight.

I only have 3 or 4, but I like the thicker paper and also that they're usually rolled (for titles where the rolled one sheet is too rare/pricey for me). The borders don't bother me, but I can see how they're a bit like love handles on a one sheet.

As Tob said, the fact that they were issued rolled is cool.  Also, there (currently) are not fakes/bootlegs/etc. for them (and if there are, I think they would be easily identifiable).  The search for them is fun, as they're not as common as one sheets, especially in good condition.  The durable cardstock makes them higher quality than one sheets and many other formats.

I think they were made for theater owners to have another option to advertise the films.  Here is a good article from LAMP:

Yes, I've seen them all.  As you may know, I don't collect posters for movies I haven't seen.  I don't see the point.  Except when I get posters for free, and I do get a lot of those.  Only a few Bardot movies are worth watching, BUT she is freakin' HOT in all of them.

I actually asked my wife what she would do if I bid $200,000 on a poster.  She was not amused.  She doesn't see posters as a lucrative investment.  She is wise beyond her years.

That one from Mr. Ballester is very nice.  It's also a good example of a nice piece in "gently used" condition, as the wear with the tax stamps and all add some character to it.

You're so right about that.  We just did our taxes, and under "poster" it said that I spent $133k on posters last year.  Btw, there is no way in hell that I spent $133k on posters.  But now she calls me Mr. 133 and she is extremely unhappy with me.  I just have to find where the glitch is.

Haha Mr. 133.

You're so right about that.  We just did our taxes, and under "poster" it said that I spent $133k on posters last year.  Btw, there is no way in hell that I spent $133k on posters.  But now she calls me Mr. 133 and she is extremely unhappy with me.  I just have to find where the glitch is.

Haha Mr. 133.

If she isn't calling herself Mrs .45 yet, you're fine.

So glad the Casablanca LCs are done.  My god, it took forever.

That was ridiculous...the results were way over the top......i had a feeling that there were going to be some silly bids...$3,500 for the injured Henried card????? Good thing I got mine for $200....I think I also remember Channing selling one on eBay for about $250 as well....

Ahhh...  I missed my first one :(  It was me against someone else on that Heaven Can Wait Ballester.  I let it go at $2,700.  Very unhappy.  I really wanted it.  But anything above that would have been too much imo.

I was watching that. What a beauty of a poster. Gene's a dream.

For my Eastwood collection...  Finally found a folded copy.

T...that really is one of the best Monroe pieces...I watched the movie recently and found it a bit dull...but that poster sure makes it seem great!!

I couldn't win shit today...There were some really over the top prices ..the Frankie montage card Hit $40,000...that is a lot of money for a lobby card...

I wanted the Jazz Singer lobby card...but not for nearly $4,000...Heritage clearly gets consigned the best material because they achieve such outlandish prices...

There were also some pieces that I remember seeing sold on eBay not too long ago and were obviously flipped..the Marx animal crackers die cut was one..it sold for about $400 on eBay..Heritage got $1600....it really matters WHERE you sell things!!!

I thought it could have gone for a bit more, it is such a beautiful poster. I noticed that it was the one just behind the auctioneer. Congratulations to the new owner!

I think what (potentially) shows about FRANK and LAM results is how restoration (and/or re-creation in the case of the bottom 1/3 of the London 3sh) can truly affect value or perceived value on items of this rarity and caliber. Both are only known copies from 2 films that many would give an eye tooth to own. And by comparison, and as FLC noted above...look how well the one Frank montage card did.. $40k for a lobby!

I thought Frank would surely get to at least $500K and that LAM would make it too perhaps 175-200K.

That certainly wasnt the case for either.  :-\

But if he was the winner on both, I'm sure Mr Hammett is now a happy camper.  ;D

Yeah, I wonder how much the poor condition factored in (and it truly WAS in poor condition.  Not like when we had that huge debate about the Dracula OS found in Berwick, that was in excellent condition IMO).  It would be interesting to see how much the Frankie Sixer would go for, it being in mint condition and all....I think that would be the true bellwether to see how high some of this universal paper could go for...

In talking with others about the Frank and LAM 3sh, i would certainly say that the restoration played a huge part. The 'purists' may have stayed away and only bid so high.

Had these both been in much better found condition, i can only think their numbers would have soared much higher. Only known, one of a kind items, combined with those 2 very collectible titles..... it would have been the perfect 'bid' storm, rather than a heavy rain shower.

Did Hammet win the LAM one sheet?  Maye there's just him and another power collector who competed for the frankie 3 sh, King kong, LAMs...  so really, the only reason the prices are over 100K to begin with comes down to two individuals.  Had they not been interested, who knows Frankie might have gone for 100K?

Nothing like the WB artwork from the 1930s.. their artists had that signature style.  bed1

Yes. The Casablanca LC  sold rather well. To be honest they did a good job with the description too. Not that i need them to explain the film or sell the LC to me..they are preaching to the choir.. but their description just gave you that extra craving....

Post by: erik1925 on March 30, 2015, 04:37:35 PM
So true, Tait.

If a Ballester were around today... he would knock them out of the park, with not only his briiliant brush work, but also his ability to capture a moment or add a certain eye catching element, such as was done with the Waterfront foglio.

It would put the photo shopped and cut 'n pasted stuff done today, let alone the run of the mil portrait posters, to ultimate shame.

that's always the way it is with uber-expensive items in all fields

at $500 there are 100 bidders
at $1000 there are 20 bidders
at $5000 there are 3 bidders

always worked that way and always will, until everyone in the world has the same amount of money

T...it seems that Heritage grades the very best condition linen backed items (where only very minor restoration has been done) at about 7.5...it wouldn't surprise me if they "recommend" that consigned posters be linenbacked below that grade..which they clearly have in house restoration services with Jaime..how much consigned material goes that path??  who knows...but there are a lot of restored posters in their auctions..and anything around an 8 or above is usually a folded condition that is unrestored..

Could be as simple as -- Early Ford, large format.  There are so many people in Hollywood who were influenced by him.  I can imagine number of deep pocketed-bidders that wanted a (probably only-known) piece of his mojo.

Even aside from it being rare, I would also suggest that is due to the fact that it's for an early John Ford film...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Iron_Horse_%28film%29

Have other 6sh for this title come to auction? If not, and, again, for this film, (along with the 2 that battled it out tonight), you have the perfect bidding/auction storm!

XC668568 and ma500969 were duking it out.

Ford made his mark in Hollywood and is admired, and has influenced many a director and the Western genre, in general.

Yes the poster is rather static.. not a lot of movement...but I think the stone lithography looks great, it's in great condition, and the 2 bidders that went after it, drove it to that price, and battled it out to that kind of high number, had a definite reason for doing so.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Filmlobbycards on April 17, 2015, 02:05:34 AM
That is a really important poster...on several levels...first it is one of the very best silent 6 sheets to ever surface...not to mention it is a gorgeous stone litho...beyond it being "just" from a top collected director...this poster coalesces important western themes ...rarity and condition are other important factors ...the theme of the film has a broader historical importance to collectors..it would not surprise me if the new owner collected western art or Railroadiana ...native American and westward expansion historical art is very popular and expensive right now....and this is one of the grandest early pieces from a film touching on those subjects....in this case it's not just a movie poster from a silent film...it's an historical artifact....which is more important than poster design and obviously more important than the "watchability" of the film...it's an impressive result...and just more proof that rare vintage posters are commanding prices that are clearly deserved when the quality, condition, rarity and historical importance all convene...  I don't see the need to disparage great posters that get unexpected results...even if you think the poster is boring ... 99% of posters created in the last 20 years are extremely boring and show absolutely no artistic merit...even as wrapping paper...


Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: erik1925 on April 17, 2015, 03:26:52 AM
This poster also contains elements and visuals that fully tie together the subject matter of the film as a whole.

And the detail in the artwork is just beautiful. And it has survived, intact and with color that has not faded.

I would take this over any photo shopped or digitally cobbled image poster, any day of the week... (but that's just me).

Agree!

As one who loves his films and collects  John Ford's posters I have to say that it is really good to see this poster doing so well. Iron Horse is a very important film for many reasons, Ford fanatics know that it is actually difficult to get a decent poster for many of his films, so this is a rare treat. Whoever bought this just bought a piece of cinema and as Tait says a piece of Americana history. But I can see why it might not appeal to everyone, oddly enough I do not love it either. Which suits me fine,  I just now  hope that whoever s/he is can now leave the US OS for me.. she has to find it..... she has to find it. girly2.gif

Congratulations to the new owner!  :)

The one sheet is fantastic..both the one sheet and 6 sheet show the dichotomy of the film's narrative..the poster advertising campaign was very interesting in that they at least attempted to show both sides of the reaction to building the transcontinental railroad... With the Native American perched on a cliff watching them work on the Railroad!

Post by: Neo on April 18, 2015, 12:39:28 PM
Bruce posted this on his Facebook page a few hours ago:

"MISSION IMPOSSIBLE! Just four weeks ago, a very long time collector approached me with an offer. He would bring my auction house, eMoviePoster.com, approximately 20,000 items to auction, but ONLY if I would immediately make a special auction of his "better" 545 linenbacked posters, and only if I would commit to auctioning the best of the rest of his items over the next 10 weeks. I asked when he wanted to bring the items, and he said in TWO DAYS!

I assembled my top people and we decided it was "do-able", and so I told the consignor we would do it, but with two important conditions:
1) Every item had to be honestly described, with no glossing over defects or using images that hid defects. Some posters would be described as being in "poor" or "fair" condition, and the consignor had to be able to live with this.
2) Every item had to TRULY have no reserve and start at $1 (as all our auctions do). This would guarantee that there WOULD be some items that would sell for far under what they might retail for, but there would be compensating high results, and the consignor had to be able to live with this.

The consignor agreed, and brought the 20,000 items by truck two days later. When he arrived, I took him on a tour of our facility, showing exactly HOW we are able to hold 2,500 unique auctions every WEEK, and when we were done 30 minutes later, his truck was entirely unloaded, and he was on his way!

We held the special auction of the 545 linenbacked posters last week, and it took in just under $250,000. For the next day, you can see EVERY one of those results (with images, condition grades, selling prices and buyer IDs) in a single gallery here: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/results.html (after tomorrow, they will move to individual results galleries for each of the three parts).

This auction contained 137 great posters from the 1930s, and you can see just those here: http://www.emovieposter.com/…/tag/decade%253A1…/results.html

The auction was a major success, highlighted by the $50,388 paid for a six-sheet from The Iron Horse, with many high prices, but also (as predicted) with several wonderful buys at low prices (and these were all really purchased by collectors and dealers, and were NOT secretly "bought in" as happens at some many auctions).

There is NO other auction house in the world that could have made this happen in such a short period of time (four weeks from arrival to all sold!), and the auctions went off without a hitch. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

It could not have happened without the concerted efforts of EVERY one of our employees, and such unprecedented success under such trying conditions on the part of our employees deserved an unprecedented response on my part, and on Friday, I gave EVERY one of our 32 employees a raise!"

Agree, Vick. The poster back stories, (where they were found, obtained, located etc) all add so much to not only the interest of a poster, but its provenance as well.

Auction houses never reveal the consignors' and bidders' information, unless there is a special circumstance.  In this case, Bruce wrote a few weeks ago, about Dwight Cleveland, who consigned a vast amount of stuff at eMovie.  The above article is referring to Mr. Cleveland's consigned collection.

From eMovieposter.com:

Similar to HA's discussion and description of the Berwick Collection.

Good stuff, there, Brandon.

Bruce made it well known that Dwight Cleveland was the consignor of these items.. and as well he should have, in that case, as the items offered by Cleveland were truly ones of a kind, in many cases.

Not to mention the fact that Cleveland was posting to MOPO himself, also promoting the upcoming sales EVENT!  thumbsup.gif

This consignor is Dwight Cleveland...
http://www.dwightclevelandposterarchive.com/ (http://www.dwightclevelandposterarchive.com/)

Some of the best individual posters (85) were suppose to be sold through Heritage March 23, 2012 I think ...but made it into different auctions around that time....some did not sell...like the Horse Feathers 3 sheet...which is an extremely rare poster...and had too high of a reserve...I think the Chaplin good for nothing poster Bruce just sold was in that auction too

This one made me laugh...  I usually bid on my iphone because I'm outside and always within the last 5 minutes.  I go thru the auctions that morning because I don't to let myself get too excited about something.  Excitement = more money spent.  So here I am thinking that I'm going to get the cards for $20-$30, you know, basically what they're worth, and then I see this...

I thought you might have gone for it. Very sorry to read you didnt get it..

I think this poster is worth every penny. It is an important poster for many reasons. It is the equivalent of having the best  Wayne poster for The Searchers, and I mean Searchers because what  Ethan did for J Wayne,  Doña Diabla did for Maria Felix - she became La Doña.  It is an incredibly good film and she was a damn good actress.

Auction houses never reveal the consignors' and bidders' information, unless there is a special circumstance.  In this case, Bruce wrote a few weeks ago, about Dwight Cleveland, who consigned a vast amount of stuff at eMovie.  The above article is referring to Mr. Cleveland's consigned collection.
From eMovieposter.com:

This consignor is Dwight Cleveland...
http://www.dwightclevelandposterarchive.com/ (http://www.dwightclevelandposterarchive.com/)
Some of the best individual posters (85) were suppose to be sold through Heritage March 23, 2012 I think ...but made it into different auctions around that time....some did not sell...like the Horse Feathers 3 sheet...which is an extremely rare poster...and had too high of a reserve...I think the Chaplin good for nothing poster Bruce just sold was in that auction too
I'm guessing he is keeping some of the rarest and most valuable posters...we still haven't seen the IHON one sheet, or the Italian Casablanca come to auction....or the Birth of a Nation OS with the klansman on horseback..his Keaton The General poster....wizard of oz insert....czech King Kong

Between Morrie and Dwight....this is a crazy year to get a chance to buy posters that have been locked up in private collections for decades

Thanks for the info.
I guess if you've consigned items to Bruce be prepared as they might only get auctioned much later in 2015.  Which bites, but at least in the meantime you'll get an opportunity to pic up some quality material.

This one is a couple of weeks old but still thought the SW crowd would be interested. HA sold a Return of the Jedi Style B flat folded for $358 w/bp which is amazing to me personally as it is not a rare poster and is easy to find rolled. If it was at least an NSS copy which is far rarer maybe I could see two going at it but it was a studio style. Very clean copy according to HA which I am sure helped some. Guess I should sell some of my rolled ones and ask $750 for them.  >:D

I wouldn't mention that you have multiple of a desired poster if you don't intend to sell ;)  I did it once a long time ago and got 20 pms in a day.  So I don't do it anymore.  But maybe you do want to sell.

No intention to sell any. Although I admit if someone really was willing to shell out $750 I would change my mind.

At first the new Heritage format looked like it would annoy people...waiting lot for lot in order to bid live...well it has certainly resulted in some wild prices the last several months...people get impulsive and bid without thinking...especially if they lost several times earlier in the auction....I'm sure Heritage studied it before making the transition...heritage took a very long time to change the format...400-500 auctions ending every Sunday at the exact same time,...to the second ....you really need sniping software...now there is some fevered in the moment bidding...

Yes, there is that issue.  And more so if the poster, or still, you're after is Zzzypertastic, or some such, since all the posters are sold in alphabetical order.

Still, a rough rule of thumb is that they tend to get through 90 lots in an hour so alarms can be set for early morning times if one really has to get up and stumble towards a bidding platform at 4am!

Ah Yes! The alphabetical order is a real pain in the (*****). My US poster buddy sometimes bids for me and he is really helpful ( you know who you are - thanks again  :)  - but it is clearly difficult for us abroad as it is not always possible to set the alarm for 4am or indeed, if one doesn't want to keep bothering people, even if they are super helpful. Doubt HA could care less about time difference though. They posters sell just fine.

Yes, but here was the description:

Quote
James Bond Goldfinger (1964) British Quad film poster, Style A, art by Robert Brownjohn, starring Sean Connery, United Artists, linen backed, 30 x 40 inches A very honest example of this poster, creases, folds and edge tears have been left. No overspraying. A good example.

I took that to mean a rough poster that was linen-backed, but none of the flaws were very well addressed.

Yep, this fellow is top dollar all the way...

I don't think the poster sold, just the auction was ended, as that price is so far out of the ball-park it's on another planet

Thanks.  Been after that one since Peter loaned me his copy for my Eastern European exhibit (many thanks again Peter!).  I missed out on one a year or so back and I wasn't about to let this one get past me. 

And that was an incredible price on that Polish ESB -- although worth every penny as one of the most creative and beautiful Star Wars posters IMO.

This lovely US OS for the silent film, A Heart To Let (1921), sold yesterday, on the bay, for $240.27. In rougher shape along with a lot of what looks like masking or paper tape on the verso, this will look wonderful once restored. Luckily, the main image of Justine Johnstone is not too badly affected.  bed1

As elsewhere, indeed Everywhere, I am not a Star Wars fan but the proliferation and diversity of posters does attract me to the various conversations...

As for this one, oh my God, Polish posters!

I have read how these things were designed and what materials and information the designers had available prior to putting ink to paper, and one can deliberate at length how the designing minds worked to get from Three Words to Poster.

Excellent.  (But not for me)

It was up for sale in a bargain bin for $20 but not now. It didn't look that great anyway.

That's a decent-looking card 11"x14" card.  I think it is probably from a rerelease due to the "Poli Films Mundiales" which does not appear on the original release material I've seen.

There is also a 14"x17" card featuring the Espert artwork.  I didn't want to say anything earlier until I acquired one myself  ;)

I was thinking the same thing tonight. EMP auctions are more of a dogfight than ever it seems now.  Crazy high prices for all the SW stuff I want :'( Ended up w/ two non-SW pieces I wasn't targeting tonight, but I'll take what I can get.  Can't believe the prices that ESB Polish poster has brought the last couple of weeks.

I think Bruce is making a mistake by auctioning a "rare" poster like the Empire polish 2 weeks in a row.  The seller would have got more money if Bruce had spaced them out a little.  It was rare the first time (first time EMP auctioned it, according to their description), now it seems like he will be dropping one on a weekly basis.

True.  I don't think there's been a single auction of modern stuff in the past 4 years that hasn't had a Pulp Fiction poster for sale.  I'm actually surprised it's still worth anything.

I was actually thinking the same thing a few days ago, there is always something Pulp Fiction up for grabs.

I was however very surprised to see the Polish Empire 2 weeks in a row. Will we see a 3rd on 5/19?

I must admit when I first started collecting I was dead set only US and maybe International release 80's to Modern stuff.
Now I must admit I seriously LOVE Polish posters!!! bed1

And on a personal note, I was looking at your E.T. collection and came to the conclusion that you suck!  ;D
But seriously it is an impressive chapter in your enormous collection  notworthy.gif, I used it as a reference for my own E.T. Checklist.
Picked up a few more tonight (I now have 9), but the Moon and Spaceship are going to be pretty pricey for the condition I seek.

Now regarding collecting, don't stress it, everything comes around.  Lose one, you'll find another one.

All movies I grew up on.  But ET holds a special place.  It closed the Cannes Film Festival in May 1982 and my uncle told me that the entire theater was in tears, something that doesn't happen very often, if ever, at Cannes.  Spielberg, who was hiding behind the curtain the whole movie, was convinced his $10 million personal movie would come and go, and was reportedly shocked to see the Cannes intellectuals embrace it with such fervor.  It officially came out in June in the US and then December 1st in Paris, so I had to wait 7 months.  7 months of reading glowing reviews and hearing that it was the biggest success of all time in the US.  I saw it at the 2 o'clock screening on Wednesday the 1st and ended up seeing it 3 times that day, and a dozen times that week.  I know that because I kept a journal of the movies I saw in my early teens and I still have it.  Then I started collecting everything on the movie.  I have an entire box of magazines from around the world, photos, newspapers, stickers, everything I could put my hands on.  So when I started collecting posters 15 years ago, I made sure ET would be front and center.

I wouldn't mind hearing those stories! I wouldn't mind hearing about how you managed to get the set of the 3 black and white Gremlins.

I have lost several in my short days collecting, some have yet to show up again. Others showed up a week later. So I have grown to understand the importance of patience in this hobby. I was admittedly disappointed when I was outbid on a Resident Evil Extinction B2 and my computer decided to randomly freeze up during the last moments of the bid extension. moron1 Stupid technology

That is indeed a lovely Polish poster. Congrats on winning it! I often also wonder about how some of the art came to be, for example the Polish Aliens???
Or how about that Polish Exorcist I picked up recently? The snake and the tree.......I would like to see these through the eyes of the artists, understand it as they did creating them.

Not sure I could ever claim any one film is my favorite, but yes, top 10 for sure.  Marvelous, layered movie and quite possibly GH's best performance.  To top it off Coppola managed to film this in parallel with Godfather II and the two films were up against each other for best picture -- He was really firing on all cylinders during the 70s.

I was watching few things from Bruce last night. I noticed that some posters rocketed 42$ to 212$  in a second!

Spanish IHON R48. It went for 212$

I would be worried that some permanent damage has been or will be caused by the poster having been rolled for over 10 years, particularly if someone tries to flatten it out now.

Christie's South Kensington auction was today. Good fun though I  found it all a bit amusing. Mostly men and Russian women who looked like they were just casually shopping for fun. 

KING KONG 1933 FRENCH sold for £10,000 plus 25% BP. I think Bruce Merchant bought it. Or someone that looked like him. The poster looks ok-ish to me. Not my favourite Kong.

I was wondering when someone was going to post this. I was watching intently and asked many questions, but decided against bidding near the end. Surprised it didn't get outted.
Info on this poster seems scarce. Found an old post on MPF and then some info on HA that didn't quite sync with what the seller told me. HA says printer was in Michigan, while seller swore it came from Wisconsin (across the river near Twin Cities, MN). MPF post claims only 6 copies, as does LAMP. Seller's measurements were closer to HA's, though (versus LAMP).
Anyways, guessing it will be on HA soon. :)

What's the likelihood of something like that being repro'd nowadys? There's lots of printers can do lenticular prints and that poster doesn't have moving parts, just a fade away image.

I was hoping to go to this one but in the end, appointments kept me in Windsor so followed online.

I made a very feeble attempt to bid on the Breakfast at Tiffany's insert for a friend but, my one bid of £1100 was very quickly surpassed.  Bless the auctioneer though, he said, 'Come back online, I saw you briefly make some sort of an attempt.'

Yes.  Had there been an Apology button, I would have clicked it.

 :) sorry you didnt get it Simes. Do you recall Can.. you cut your bid online? HA has that option but dont remember Christies having that. It seemed to me that they "favoured" phone bidders. They let a phone bidder cut the bid twice in a row.  Will bear that in mind next time.

Yes there was an Underground version at 27x40, but also a full Quad at 30x40 of this design...

The underground ones are not cut, they come like that from the printers.

If it's missing that much on the length and the width, how could it be described as being a true 30x40, without the trimming being mentioned?

Post by: marklawd on June 08, 2015, 04:33:32 AM
The true dimensions should always be given and I would be returning that poster if I won the auction and it turned out to be undersized. I value a full 30 x 40 quad more than an equivalent "London Underground" version.

Thanks for posting the shots from the auction Rosa, that Kong is also one of my favorites for the film.

On a lighter non quad related note I was a little surprised that with a ll of the fervor and what not lately over the Empire Strikes Back B "purple" or dark version that this one lasted a whopping 12 hours before being bought on Flea-Bay especially in untrimmed form. Not mint but would flatten but nicely with little effort.

Jeff it's not trimmed they are printed that way, and the folds are spot on in the middle..

T, I personally do think it hurts the price, they never/shouldn't bring what a standard Quad would fetch. I would always want a full size Quad over a smaller version, and as Mark rightly says this should be mentioned in the description. Oh, and I did only quickly glance at it at 6:30 this morning before rushing out to work, but did notice the ratio was off...

Quite frankly I've never got this London Underground thing, maybe one of the Londoners can explain it.

I have seen full size Quads in the underground, I even have an underground Asylum Quad which is (slightly) different to the normal Quad artwork-wise, but is still a full 30x40. Also, why is it just certain titles that are these so called "London underground" Quads, as technically they are not a Quad, more like a Horizontal 1Sht!!!

T

pretty sure it means "4-up" as the British have paper sizes based on the smallest format and a quad is 4 times that base.

I also recall that a "crown" size was the original size of a handbill that would be posted for Royal notices that would be posted all over town 200 years ago and this is why it is called "Crown"
Crown size is 1/4 the size of a Quad (and Double Crown is 1/2 size of a Quad)
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: paul waines on June 08, 2015, 04:13:23 PM
Yep, pretty much as Rich says.

Our base unit is the Double crown 20x30 ( twice the size of a Crown 15x20 ), so for example out 4 sht is 4 times a Double Crown @ 40x60.

The Quad is 4 times bigger than the Crown hence to give it it's correct title the "Quad Crown".  Quads also are available in 60x20 ( it's all about surface area ), and early ones are vertical...  And then we have the Quad Royale, @ 40x50..  Clear as mud..

and really the key is the name of the paper size. Somewhere there is a chart reading all UK paper sizes that I have seen, meaning from stationary sheets to posters. In the case of the US, our 8x10 sheet is referred to as a "foolscap" even thought it is not the standard 8.5x13 of a real foolscap sheet.

The last time I saw another video poster for Troll (1986), was about 5 years ago.  It sold for $130, and it was in much worse condition than this one, which sold for $26.

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/TrollVideo_zpsbauv6hll.jpg) (http://s766.photobucket.com/user/NeoLoco80/media/Posters/TrollVideo_zpsbauv6hll.jpg.html)

I really liked the movie when I was a kid, and I watched it again a few days ago for the first time since I was a kid.  Amazing how some films just don't seem the same when you see them again later in life.

Anyway, congrats to the winner.

if you just look at the small percentage of material that gets a good result, you would think it all sells incredible,
once yu get past that few items, you find that - in auction - 1-2% sells better than normal, about 20% sells for fair value, 50% sells for well below expected vale and the remainder sells for dirt.
this goes for all auctions.

and Tait, "little accents that enrichen the poster."

in your case, the word to use is 'enrich'
the other form of the word is 'richen'

that's the English lesson for today ;-)

Short version: They were an art group (based out of Las Vegas?) that restored an old litho press and made new prints of classic posters. They completely recreated the artwork for each poster, out of necessity due to the process I think.  Some of the coolest posters in my opinion are titles like Creature from the Black Lagoon and Attack of the 50 foot Woman – – they were originally printed in offset, but S2 redid them as stone lithos.  Anyway, I believe they are now defunct and there are still a few galleries selling off their old stock. There are quite a few posters left and in some cases (King Kong 3-sheet) Gallery prices are considerably less then what day auction for at emovie!

They aren't actually repros; the art was completely re-drawn by the various artists (and new plates created), but based on the original artwork. All have slight variations which can be seen, especially when placed side by side with either an original (or a reproduction of an original piece).  

They were discussed here a bit, too.

Thanks all for the information.

Sounds kind of like what Mondo are doing now, which also sell for fairly high prices.

I can understand them being valuable and collectible, but the prices are quite amazing, do people know they're not studio issued originals?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: erik1925 on June 12, 2015, 04:24:26 PM
Yes, buyers should know.

The S2s were never advertised or meant to deceive anyone. They were created on 100+ yr old litho presses brought from France and the higher end versions printed on high quality paper. And because the art was completely redrawn, with new plates created, they were done with quality and pride.

Even back when being sold and available from Jacks Gallery online, the prices for the 3sh were quite high. As were the "plus" versions of the standard size OS that they did.

Yeah, but is the above text an official reproduction or is it a fake?

It comes from this dictionary (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/re-create):
which says:

re–create
verb re–cre·ate \ˌrē-krē-ˈāt\

: to make (something from the past) exist or seem to exist again : to create (something) again

All semantics. 

It is a reproduction of something that has already existed.  A good reproduction, but still a reproduction.  You can take a Van Gogh and repaint it perfectly from scratch, you can call it a recreation if it helps you sell it to the gullible of the world, but it is still a goddam repro.

You are right Rich. I have seen them cheaper too. In fact I have been waiting for prices to come down but it seems Kong is going up the roof! To me they are "repros" but I still like them. Not at this price tho! :)

See note on restoration below. It sold for over $300. I assume Jaime Mendez or Poster Mountain did the job. I will want that done to my posters too!!!


Important Added Info: Note that this is an incredibly rare poster! We have seen two examples of the 1934 Shirley Temple Christmas poster, but we have never before seen this poster! A talented restorer gel backed the poster (meaning they backed the poster onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the defects described below, and then removed the gel backing, so that the poster still exactly looks and feels like an original poster (and it is!), with no backing at all.

I bought Ferris Bueller's for $300 a couple years ago and I remember hesitating for the longest time because I thought I was totally overpaying.  I still do, but now I know I'm not the biggest fool.

And yeah, Bruce...  There were a few things I was looking at today but everything zoomed way above my threshold.

More on point, those are some spectacular results Bruce is getting.  My only hope is that you sunzabumpuses are spending yourselves out, clearing my path for stellar deals the rest of this month and next.

Yep, and another eBayer sold one for $120 a few days after the link to the distributor was posted here.

There's no shame in their game, as the description states that they don't have the poster in hand, and they wait for the payment, then order one from the distributor (for 1/4 what they are selling them for.)

I'd say it's a pretty fair price, as it's a rad, high demand piece, and overall it's not in that bad of condition.  Aren't they extremely rare to find in any condition?

That's the video poster. The distributor, Entertainment In Film, used to use quads sometimes for advertising their videos. They also produced this size which is an exact copy of the quad.

I had several titles such as Kindred, Hellraiser and this one with both the full size and smaller version. I compared my Hellraiser 'theatrical' quad with my Hellraiser 'video' quad and they are exactly the same.

I agree here.

Same idea as when people have been warned about Portal Publications posters that have been represented on the bay as original OS; and even tho many here know what to look for, there are still newbies that could not be aware and buy one, thinking it was the real deal.

The chap, who was very nice added the information at my request , so i think i was doing you all a favour? I personally would have returned the poster if i had received the smaller version. Its hard to tell in the picture its not a full size quad. Outing.. maybe, but i like to think I saved a few people a trip to the post office to return an item. :P

The chap, who was very nice added the information at my request , so i think i was doing you all a favour? I personally would have returned the poster if i had received the smaller version. Its hard to tell in the picture its not a full size quad. Outing.. maybe, but i like to think I saved a few people a trip to the post office to return an item. :P

I spoke with the seller and he seems like a good guy, and it doesn't surprise me that he updated the listings.  For the record, I'm not busting your balls about "outing."  It was just the wording of your first post that I was goofing about: "This isn't outing - well it might be."

You did what you think is right, and I don't see the big deal about mentioning auctions here, anyway.  Some people have gotten their panties all in a wad about "outing," and it wouldn't surprise me if Mel left because of all the backlash of him doing that, although that could be just part of the reason for his exodus.  Anyway, maybe a few folks here who mentioned that they were in search of a quad for Killer Klowns can snag a good deal on one of these.


I agree with SJ, that he should remove "quad" from all of his listings that are clearly not quads.

In the least case, he should say these are an undersized repro of the quad format/artwork for KK.

His wording is what will have potential buyers confused, thinking they are the full quad size, when, in fact, they are not.

Not a repro, they are official Video posters (unless Video posters count as repros of course!)

Just for complete clarity, not undersized video poster. Video posters in the UK come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. So for a video poster these are exactly as they should be.  cheers

Vertical crease and paper loss at top... not sure I was willing to pay more.

Agree with the snipping programme, but when I go to bed with over 500 USD snipping bids, I have sleepless nights :)

Video poster = right size, in this case, here.

Quad = wrong size here, as stated initially.

Pre Oscars. That is usually £1000-1500 in excellent condition, so quite reasonable.

Kinda of crazy... I found that Star Wars quad rolled with only pinholes on Craigslist about 7 years for $100.  I thought it was a huge bargain as it was selling for $400-500 at the time.  Now you can't even get the oscar version for $400 and this pre-oscar has sold for nearly $2k.  It's amazing how some posters really take off in value in a relatively short period...

A Goldfinger poster.. It looks interesting and sold for only $37.01 USD on the bay. The bottom border looks to have been trimmed off. Would this be a first release? Later RR? Or something else?

Some mixed results at Ewbanks, but wow, £200 for a Predator Quad, and £335 for Challenge in the Snow, consigned by Brian Bysouth

Sexy Beast quad, Dark Knight stuff did well, and a Star Wars Pre Oscars for £950
ROTJ Quad went for £360 while ESB went for £120?

I dont know about you guys, but what puts me off a little is the lack of condition report for the items?

Yes, I'm glad I have it, I'd hate to think I had to pay that for one. They do give a good report and extra photos if you ask them, but time for a full report on everything is a nightmare. The posters are run by a fellow called Alistair, he's a great guy to catch hold of if you have any problems.

I was thinking the same Vick (both crazy?) It seems to be hugely popular. I will give it to Profiles how they have managed this auction so far. It is everywhere! On Ebay and on any other general auction site. I do not know if this is the norm for Profiles (do others know.?) , it certainly seems to be working..

Given the huge volume of high quality material...i suspect it is one of the most profitable auctions... tbc

There are bunch of things going on that make this a big auction...Morrie is one of the oldest collectors and has run his own auctions for over a decade...profiles is very aggressive in their conquest of the collectibles market...there is a plethora of rare if not one of a kind material....and it's all in one place...it's a feeding frenzy situation for people with a lot of money...it's all available at the same time ... If you have wanted these pieces for a long time...well here they are...all together....you don't have to painstakingly search forever....even if it's not a good deal...it's only money...and they aren't making any more of these!

Sean is right that these cards were graded very haphazardly...and the restoration is hard to know for sure...one lot was announced with a vertical crease right as the bidding was going and no mention on the lot detail...and defects on individual lobby cards in the sets were glossed over if they were mentioned at all...you need to be very careful in this auction

Let alone the very vast size of the collection to begin with and the vast array of genres Morrie has gathered over the decades. For any that truly know, PIH advertises and promotes all of their auctions in much the same way; they get the word out far in advance and keep it in the 'collector's eye' well in advance of the auction all the way up to auction day.

And Morrie has promoted it as well, on sites like MOPO, to help 'further the cause.'  thumbsup.gif

To be fair, the majority of LCs collectors fall into that category given that they are nearly always photographic in nature.

Between the BP, "low estimate" opening bids, state sales tax, unclear shipping, and a website that makes it maddeningly difficult to figure any of that out, I'm pretty much going to be non-competitive in these, given what is happening.  Will take a shot at a couple of lots today but am not confident.

That said, many of the lots are truly items that you can go a long time without seeing, so if you need them for your collection it's definitely time to go all in.  I'm hoping that a few winners will decide to flip their conquests in a less frenzied environment since I'm mostly interested in items that are in larger bulk lots.

I meant the "image" of being able to say they own something from THE Morris Everett... rather than them being actual film or lobby card enthusiasts.  I'm just being facetious...although i'm sure pricks like that have picked up a few cards over the past two days.

True. The shipping is a nightmare for sure. Cant figure out what they do with it. The item i want says "item to be collected in person " or something similar...

but  I give him credit for putting together such an incredible collection, a triumph of both quality and quantity.

Some folks are picking up incredible, extremely rare pieces.  Their reasons for buying them are their own, of course.  

It's no wonder why so many folks don't participate here, or other places like this.

Indeed, Brandon.

SO much of what he is offering will not be seen again, or offered by anyone else (unless/until the new owners choose to pass them on again, at some point).

I guess what I wonder is how many single buyers they have.  Is it like a dozen collectors with deep pockets going at it, or hundreds.  There seems to be a lot of interest, at least judging by the final sale price.  It kind of amazes me that so many people would be interested and willing to spend so much.

I thought it was a niche hobby.

Every major collector came out of the wood works....institutions....dealers like Ira, Walter, Hazelton etc.people with deep pockets....all the major players...celeb collectors....there are probably around 1500 bidders...Heritage usually gets a similar crowd...

And yes that Buster Keaton one is stunningly rare and nice too. To some of the naysayers: lobby cards from the twenties and early thirties really capture the golden age of movie making and they are a designers joy, often nicer than the posters, perfect combination of typography and border art.

A big zero for me.

Since I'm only interested in complete lobby card sets, it limits my reach.  I tried to get The Postman Always Rings Twice, War of the Worlds, The Seven Year Itch, The Prince and the Showgirl and a couple others and failed miserably.

A big neg for me is the fact that they don't show you the final price...  +28% commission fee and +10% CA Tax...  It adds up.  Oh well, Heritage is next.

I picked up a bit of sentiment against lobbycards/unknown old movies compared to the usual collector tastes. If it was not there nor intended, my bad. Another answer to the question who buys these things is of course: "old guys".

Agree.  Was crosschecking some w/ history over at EMP, but add in BP, shipping, etc., didn't seem like a worthwhile endeavor.

I didn't understand how they came up with the opening bids either...some were way too high...but on the other hand some were clearly very low to encourage bidding....I Am beating myself up today for not going all out on the kennel murder case 7 cards....I think the hammer was $1200...those cards are worth nearly $1000 a pop...in 2006 Heritage sold 4 cards for nearly $5500....so comparatively...based on past results.... there were some mega deals!!

I picked up a bit of sentiment against lobbycards/unknown old movies compared to the usual collector tastes. If it was not there nor intended, my bad. Another answer to the question who buys these things is of course: "old guys".

There are exceptions.... I'm only 34 and next year will be my 20th year collecting lobby cards!!

Thanks Rosa!!  I actually really screwed up my bidding strategy...I really wanted the Neighbors and Sherlock Jr. Cards...I was underbidder on 6 Keaton cards...and 10 lots total...sooo I didn't really spend nearly as much as I thought I would...absentee bidding...I get what I deserve....everything today was just random consolation prizes

I think you did really well considering the starting prices, internet glitches, hidden shipping costs & generous BP  :P

And ... as you said... this is just the start!  :)

Profiles wasn't clear if the $1.9 million was just the hammer or after BP...they clearly separate those numbers on the auction results PDF ....and keep them separate for a reason.....heritage lists all results after BP in post auction results... 3 million for the entire collection last year is starting to seem like a better deal...regardless of the extra work or time

I didnt know a repro set came with the laserdisc, Chris. Good to know, tho. Do you know, was that set marked in any way to indicate they were a promo item that was included?

I would think something printed on them would indicate that, so that there was no confusion? And is the size identical to the original LCs too?  dontknow.gif

And if not legit, the winner could return them for a refund.

I don't know what it sold for, but it isn't a major film and while Brigitte is a cult figure (for a limited amount of work) I find it doubtful this poster could be resold for much profit
if she was illustrated as her character from Metropolis, sure, but that's not what you have

let us also not forget, she was a Nazi sympathizer (why Fritz Lang left her behind)

Not from what I've read...

http://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/14/arts/brigitte-helm-88-cool-star-of-fritz-lang-s-metropolis.html
Quote
While he may not have been the sadist many of his actors made him out to be, Lang was such a hard-driving perfectionist that Ms. Helm, who worked virtually every day for 18 months, often hanging upside down or standing in water up to her waist for hours at a time, found the experience excruciating.

After one torturous ordeal, when she wondered why a double could not have taken her place during the nine days it took to shoot a scene in which she is encased in a metallic robot shell, her face obscured, Lang haughtily claimed an auteur's creative sensibility.

"I have to feel that you are inside the robot," he said. "I was able to see you even when I didn't."

After the movie made her a star, Ms. Helm, who had her own artistic standards, refused to make another movie with Lang.

She made a successful transition to sound, but refused to abandon Germany for Hollywood. Then in 1935, disgusted with the Nazi takeover of the film industry, she abruptly quit, marrying an industrialist, Hugo von Kunheim, himself a Nazi opponent.

It sold for a best offer of $2500.00. With good provenance, too.. being bought initially from Daniel Strebin and linen backed by Jose Carpio of Cinemonde.

And... considering what the US OS can go for...

yes it is the Intl style, however while maybe a good price, when you place it next to the US poster, the color & volume is considerably reduced and it's easy to see why it would garner less money.

Yup.
When I saw the post, I thought the poster was faded or sun-damaged.
Its just so damn pale compared to the American.

I adjusted the color temperature of the seller's photo, just a bit, because the image looked too blue (the borders and white areas make this pretty noticeable, as well as her skin tone). I adjusted just enough so that the borders now look a more creamy, off white. Nothing else was adjusted. Here is that result. I think the color balance being off in the original photo made it look a bit more washed out, overall, too.

Original:

Rich, when you describe it like this, as far as the production of the poster, do you mean that the original image was literally cut from an NSS OS (or something like this), and then laid onto the Int'l version background, when the mockup for this was created for this printing version?

Unfortunately most of these Swedish lithos from the late 20's are on a very thin paper that usually has condition and advanced aging problems...if they are linenbacked then there is typically a decent amount of restoration and the fold lines were separating....I owned several and eventually sold them...this group that Heritage sold was unusual because the condition was nice and they were unbacked...

You want to store these flat...folding and unfolding them is a dangerous proposition...I would shrink wrap them on acid free materials so you can handle them without damaging..

Yah. I have a number of Swede posters from the 20s and the paper is low opacity, almost tracing paper-like. but it's actually not too difficult to find unfolded examples of even 20s posters - which is more than ideal.

Am not really up on this or other such BTTF posters, but always read of their stories.

On the emp site, "The VHS video box for the first movie contained an order form for this poster, but it was almost immediately sold out and the company went out of business!"

How does a company immediately sell out of stock, and then immediately go out of business?  Cash flow?  Curious about this if anyone has info.  As for the poster, was also not aware commercial film posters could go for so much - bearing in mind the chaps and chapesses on this site are all about originality.

The BTTF is probably a 750-1000 retail item at this point, I wouldnt sell for under 1000. I have seen 5 or less in the past 15 years that I recall. Colin had one that sold for 500, Bruce, this one (which might be the one Bruce sold, looked like Bruces craft paper ship job this one was laying on) , and I believe the BTTF website had a couple at one point that didnt last long. Tough poster to come by.

Yes, this was a holy grail poster for me until I got one a few years ago. The recent price paid for one is consistent with its rarity and demand.

This poster looks a bit faded...the darker areas seem a bit softer than I remember....red is a very volatile color and fades very easily...the Grecian Olympic figure should be a bit more burnt gold with more depth and shading on the right arm ...I have only seen this poster once in person (about 10 years ago from a friend who deals in European posters) and it had much warmer color tones...this poster may even have been cleaned with a bleaching agent...

It is a great poster!!

@Steve...Great eye Steve!! I noticed the overall golden look but didnt spot it until now. thumbsup.gif

@ Tait: thanks a lot Tait, very helpful, as usual. You are right, this poster must be a bit different. It has had "extensive restoration" around the upper half. I assume the restoration missed the red ring as noticed by Steve. I was taken by the overall look, it is a piece of history. Hope the new owner is happy.

The chap, who was very nice added the information at my request , so i think i was doing you all a favour? I personally would have returned the poster if i had received the smaller version. Its hard to tell in the picture its not a full size quad. Outing.. maybe, but i like to think I saved a few people a trip to the post office to return an item. :P

If only you had contacted the seller a few hours earlier, it actually would have saved me a lot of time.  faint2.gif

Before knowing that the several, mis-represented Killer Klowns posters are actually the video version, I figured I'd ask the seller if he would accept an offer for one, as I had a few other things going on that week, and didn't have time to bid.  We made a PayPal deal on one, and he sent it the next day.  Shortly after he sent it, he changed the listings - saying they're not quads.  I sent him an email, telling him that I offered what I did because I thought it was a quad, and that I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it, but if I did decide to keep it, I would expect a partial refund.  The seller ignored the two emails sent to him.  After a month waiting for it to arrive, I called PayPal and told them about it, and they basically said that is BS, especially since it had not arrived, and they started a claim.  A few days later, I got a full refund.  About a week later, the poster arrived, and here are the emails, and what happened:

Him: I see you have received the poster and you got your full refund. What are you going to do next as I am going to open a dispute case to get my money back off you.

I checked the listings, and there were some shenaningans, as there was clearly shill bidding.  One of the original listings actually sold to a shill bid on his other account, and then that account sold one for £9.99.  Anyway, I called PayPal and told them that the package was delivered, and about the seller's email, and they sent him an email about me returning it, with him sending me a pre-paid shipping label.

Me: If you want your poster back, I will return it to you, at your cost. PayPal is already aware of the current status of this, and you can respond to their message, and issue a pre-paid return shipping label. If you have any questions or concerns, please forward them to PayPal.

Him: If you do not want the poster then I would appreciate it if you return it to me ASAP and I have already paid out for shipping which I have lost out on when I sent it to you.if you do not want the poster then you will have to send it back to me in the original condition and original packaging at your costs.if you want it then I don't mind doing a deal with you for $60

I called PayPal again, and they told me that the case was closed, and there was nothing he could do, as far as demanding me to return it, or sending a partial payment.

Me: I have spent far too much time and energy on this. From calling numerous post offices about the tracking, sending you emails, calling PayPal, etc. I do not want to do a partial deal with you. If you want your poster back, you need to send me a pre-paid shipping label.

Him: Can I just say you are being a total idiot about this.you must be one of them con men. Just send my poster back ASAP I've sold all the rest to decent English people who have not complained and are totally satisfied with there purchase. I expect a reply and expect my poster back before I take legal proceedings against you.you think you can get something for nothing. Think again

Although PayPal said that I didn't have to, I figured the right thing to do was to send him a partial payment.

Me: It's worth £10. Just say OK and I'll send you $25 via PayPal. Or send me a pre-paid shipping label.

Him: OK

Me: Payment sent.  Cheers

Him: Ok.  Thank you.

I would recommend not communicating at all with sellers when stuff like this is going on.  It's much better to just let PayPal or eBay deal with it.  In this case, it all worked out, and it's kinda funny that this wacky situation was over a Killer Klowns poster.

Thanks Vick. I like this lenticular poster  very much..but I think that price is a bit too high no?. That said, if the new owner is happy then good for them; what I think is purely redundant. :P

Well I am partly to blame for the price I was the underbidder. I wanted it but it had more cond issues that I was comfortable paying that much for and got a little caught up in the bidding.  (now I have to change my username on emovie since I outed myself blah)  Actually it has been selling strong at $500-$600 for quite a while.  They made less than a normal for this lent... and it being a Captain America/Marvel its gonna stay high priced.  One wish is that it was a thicker lower LPI lenticular.

Post by: pratschm on August 14, 2015, 11:29:10 PM
I think you might have misread. The repros are the shortest at 40.25", whereas legits are 41", 40.5" or 40.375".
The first vertical measurement pic in the listing was a little ambiguous, but I think the second is clear cut.
Also, if you look at particular gaps in the tree, they just don't match what's on the original.

Gotcha and good info, Mike.

I was also going on the description the seller gives, listing this poster as measuring a full 27x41 inches.

Seems like every time I look at the recently sold Pulp Fiction posters on eBay, there is at least one Lucky Strikes bootleg, sold as an original. 

ChanningPosters is the seller of this one.  Isn't that the same guy who is a member here?

There was no mention of this being a bootleg, which it is, as it has the white speckles on the chest.  It was listed and sold for $150.00, which of course is also a big red flag, as that price is "too good to be true."  Another red flag is that the edges of the photo are cropped.

I wouldn't say the originals have lost value.  The last one at HA that you mentioned sold for $1,300 is in the ballpark of the current market value for them.

It still doesn't explain the "too good to be true" price it was listed for, if the actual poster sold is an original, as Jeff mentioned.  The price is high for a bootleg (which usually sell for $10-$20 when they're rightfully described as such), and of course, way too low for an original in good condition.

Maybe Channing will shed some light on this strange scenario.

I wouldn't say the originals have lost value.  The last one at HA that you mentioned sold for $1,300 is in the ballpark of the current market value for them.

Thanks Brandon.  You might be right it was below the usual price but not for that much. I just keep thinking this one won't hold its price for too much longer... :P

I totally love it though!!! It is one of my fav posters (and films)

I think these are going to only increase with time.  It's one of the best posters for a newer film, with a cool history, plus the rarity of originals, and the film is a classic.

Guys - nowhere does he state in the auction it is a Lucky Strike version of the poster.  What I was implying is that he used a Lucky Strike stock photo and meant to just use a regular Pulp Fiction one sheet pic (which is what he really had for sale explaining the price point).

The 6 sheet for When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth was one of the best at eMovie tonight, IMO.  The last time I visited Mel's poster gallery, this 6 sheet was on the wall right when you walked in the door, and it was really stunning.  The film is not exactly grounded in science, of course, as the earliest known hominids were not around until about 60 million years after the dinosaurs became extinct, but that cave chick is hot, and the dinosaurs and all are rad.

So sad.  Every time Bruce has a linenbacked sale, I don't even look at what he's offering, since I know I won't be buying.  I have absolutely zero interest in that stuff.  Then I see what he was selling on the forum, through you and others, and I cry.

Maybe it's a wrong image, but MAYBE it's a typo in the price and Channing meant to ask $1,500 for it?

It happened to me not so long ago, this one was available on my website for €100 for several weeks:

3 reasons...

1) I do not trust linenbacking, or to be more precise, I do not trust what linenbacking hides.  I like to know what kind of damages my poster has before it is linenbacked.  I have linenbacked a few posters of mine and I have kept pictures of what the posters looked like before for my archives.  I have been burnt before and won't go through it again.

2) Linenbacked posters are very hard to store, they take a lot of room, while you can stack more than 300 folded posters in a drawer.  Since I own more than 11,000 posters, I'd have to buy a gym to store them all linenbacked.

3) I like my posters the way they were printed.  I will only buy a linenbacked poster or linenback it myself if 1) I know I won't be able to find a folded version or 2) if the poster is extremely damaged and I know I won't be able to find a clean folded version.

Also, the 27x40 size was used for a much longer time period than the early 80's...

Maybe he should stop asking "Star Wars experts", and start asking Poster people.

So the question is, does it make a difference whether the 27x40in were printed that way or cut to fit the subway standard afterward?  Whether it was one way or the other, it was done by the printer.  So one is printed smaller and the other one is trimmed.  It's the same bullshit in my book and it is missing 3 inches of poster.  Why not buy the full one and be done with it?

Quite right, always go for the correct size.
The shorter ones were printed that way, as on the folded examples, the folds match up perfectly. and there's the missing text on the shorter one too.

POST sale again.  This, as others have pointed out, somewhat dilutes the accuracy of the price results recorded in the auction history database.

this is so wrong.. so so wrong.
the items should have been ended and relisted with the proper data later
how many times has this been done?

facts are that when you edit your database to show different data, you are not showing reality as you sold the item differently

there are hundreds or thousands of post-auction corrections that do not show the truth in that database

I think the right move when you find such issues is do a screen capture of the page with the incorrect data and post it later with a screen cap of the edited data.

Some people probably bid more on stuff with wear and/or damage like that one.  That kind of aging likely indicates that it's not "hot off the presses," and surely a lot of folks appreciate the character of something that looks like it may have been used in a theater.

Um, I respectfully disagree, Brandon.  I don't think anyone is going to be bid on something because it is damaged and has character.  Collectors bid on this Nightmare poster because it is scarce (to use Ari's wording) and God only knows when the next one will pop up.  Had it been in mint condition, it would have probably sold north of $1k.

Totally disagree.  What one person considers something as damaged another person considers it a piece of history.  Additionally, a lot of people think something that is "mint" is too good to be true, and is a repro., commercial poster, etc., especially for a popular title like this, and they would rather have something like the quad above.

there is no such thing as mint.
Though my grading system goes up to C-10, I think I have used it 5 times (or less) in over 110,000 listings
in general my highest grade posted is C-9 or C-9/10..

as to posters with 'character'

those who linenback stuff just to get rid of folds apparently don't like character
however, I would say that more collectors prefer unrestored to restored posters and that speaks more to the liking of character than a lack of folds.

I know of at least one person who appreciates the character of a piece that was originally folded, and opted it to have it linenbacked.   8)  One could argue that the linen backing/restoration added character to it.

Probably as many strategies as there are collectors.

I know I prefer posters with 'character'.  I want my paper to show some war wounds simply because I personally am collecting memories.  I want to believe that my poster was used to advertise the movie and those pinholes and folds prove that.

I have to disagree with you as well Brandon. Whilst a few collectors appreciate "wear and tear" a better condition poster will always sell for more than a poorer condition alternative if both are offered for sale at the same time in the same way. I am excluding posters which have been restored/backed. Similarly, a rolled version of a poster usually found folded should attract a premium over the latter.

I would agree somewhat, but make it the 90s.  That's when folded became rolled and lots of stuff became available from secondary sources.

We can both be right, because I have little interest in that stuff.

I do not buy folded US posters post 1985.  They can all be found rolled.  And pretty much anything post 1970 can still be found in near mint condition, which is why I tentatively said the 60s.  Like the Nightmare quad.  I saw a bunch of folded quads go by but I waited and waited and eventually found a rolled near mint.  They are out there, so why settle for second best.  That's my motto anyway.  It works with women too ;)

But your perfect is probably not my perfect (woman) :)

Similarly, I definitely consider rolled, mint posters from the 70s and 80s as 'fake'.  They may come from the same print run, but as I said earlier, I want my posters to be ones that were used for their intended purpose.  A rolled "garage queen" does not meet my criteria.

And its all good, because it pretty much guarantees we will never be bidding against each other.  Happy collecting T :)

Someone around here ONLY collects rolled posters.  Who is it?  Ed?  Whoever it is, he managed to find some pretty awesome pieces from the 70s and I don't think he would appreciate you telling him his treasures are fake.

Personally, I don't care if a poster was used or not.  Well, actually, I do a little since I want them near mint.  What matters to me is that they were printed by the studio with the intent to be used theatrically.  It doesn't need to have been in a theater as long as it came from the original print run.

But like you said, different viewpoints means more for all of us, so it's all good.  Enjoy your good to very good Bruce posters :)  Btw, my stance only relates to 80s on posters.  For the 70s and before, I have a whole different set of rules.

It wouldn't make me mad.  I say do whatever you want with your stuff.

The last time I moved, I decided to sort through all my posters, and there were several that aren't that rare or valuable, and some were in bad condition.  I started to package them to give away, and decided it was not worth it, and just put them in the garbage can.  In hindsight, there are a few things over the years that I wish I had kept.

The other day, I thought about a rad Beavis and Butthead poster, for the soundtrack with Cher, that the guys at a local record store gifted me back in the day.  It was about the size of a bus shelter poster, featuring Cher in a thong, with Beavis and Butthead somewhere on the poster, I can't remember where.  :P  It was in a storage room for many years, and one day I just made a quick decision to throw it away.  I haven't scoured the planet, but I haven't seen another since.



Not to derail this thread into total awesomeness, but here is the classic music video from the soundtrack:

That did make me chuckle. I try and find posters my unfolded in as good condition as possible and for me this adds to thrill of the chase. In the past I've found unfolded quads and ones sheets that only ever show up on emovie and elsewhere folded and I continue to be amazed that some have survived in the condition they're in.

I have a 1958 quad, art by Chantrell unfolded which I totally love. I was and I am still amazed it survived in that condition.

But for vintage lovers like me folds are rarely an option but most likely the norm.   And LB to me is a question around "must do", not a choice, only when the poster is in a delicate condition. I have a lovely (maybe scarce?) 30s poster with Kay Francis that you couldn't even look at it, let alone touch it without tearing it apart. LBd now you can look at it (yes framed and on my wall) :)


That said, I really applaud yours and T collecting "unfolded" "near mint" "rolled only please" habits. In fact you both have inspired me to trying to find one particular 70s poster. I want it unfolded, rolled. I have it but folded and...yes... had to LB mine, so I am in the "upgrade"  business now... ;)

I must say I think this all just boils down to personal taste. I for one hate folded posters.  To me it takes away from the art. Now that being said, I have only collected a very few items pre-1980, All of them are folded. I also have a LB Kong from Argentina, which because of the age and the paper being brittle, it was done solely to preserve the paper. Which to me is acceptable.

Collect what you like, anything else is just noise.....

Beautiful WC. It is described as "board-backed" with retouching to areas of Davis' face where the card had once been folded, but there isn't a lot of material like this out there from Dark Victory (1939). Great movie, and it's a fantastic image of Davis, too, imo.  bed1

I know the backing board is there to reinforce the original card stock, or maybe it was rebacked onto another piece of vintage WC stock. Tho, from the description, it is probably a new piece of card.

I would like to have some titles, is it possible ? I own about 4000 french posters and don't get so much rolled posters, the few I have are poor offset quality, big ink points on them. The only one I saw from theaters and rolled with large size were printed in 2009 or near but I can remember a theater release of 007 Casino Royale from 2006 which was D/S with a good quality.

Yes, the printing on rolled Frenchies is definitely not as sharp as on folded ones.  But beyond that, what really bothers me is the fragility of the rolled paper.  It feels like folded posters are printed on thicker paper, while rolled ones, which are meant for the subway, are thinner, very easy to damage.  Is that something you noticed too, Zoongrew?

Oui Thierry vous m'avez acheté pas mal de trucs, je me souviens même de votre nom de famille que je ne dévoilerais pas ici bien sûr !

Concerning what you told about the fragility of the rolled paper, I don't feel it thinner than the folded one but what I know by experience is that it doesn't bear any shock, the ink will break as glass. Folded poster is the original one for me, I always seen folded posters when I went to the cinema so I collect and sell only that even if I own some few rolled ones that I never display.

Jay, there is no criticizing anyone, and even if there is, we are all entitled to our own opinions, so it's fine.  Sometimes it gets heated, but at the end of the day, we're just talking about posters, so who gives a rat's ass.  It's all good.

I see.  You're right, but a lot of it was really in bad condition.  I really don't understand the point of auctioning 4 good condition posters of Exodus.  Why waste the time?  But you're right, there are a lot of posters that should have done better than that.  My bad.  I was only looking at the first page.  Maybe people are getting tired of seeing the same shit week after week after week.

Most of the stuff on the first 3 pages, when sorted from high to low prices, of tonight's auctions at eMovie are from 70s and 80s films.  Considering that several of the titles appear for sale very often, they do well.  Of course, they're the exception to the "flooding the market" rule, as they're classic films.


I had a couple from recent movies in the auctions tonight, that did relatively well.

Under the Skin - $40

Spring Breakers - $120.  The guy who won it, AgentOrange, is a member here, and he seems to be a big fan of the movie.  I'm surprised he didn't see this thread...Buying New Posters Directly from the Studios (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,8269.0.html)

Congrats Brandon and Agent Orange.

Brandon, in your research and familiarity of this poster/film, why do you think it does as well as it does and with some consistency?

It's a sorta cool photo and all, but what makes the poster break 100 bucks, in your opinion?

The spring breakers he had won tonight has the ratings block unlike the ones you can buy direct which lack the ratings block and was a really good price at $120.
And that under the skin would go for 80-100 on ebay another steal on tonight auctions.

I bought some unfolded French petite recently (poster from 1985 and 2005) and gonna say that printing quality was sh*t.  Bad printing and letters aren't sharp at all, they look like (and they may be) fake poster you can buy in the street.

You are saying that it it normal then from French Petite ?

Jeff for Spring Breakers a few collectors I know that have been looking for them offered 200+ If I could find one for them..... and shy away from the ones from Amazon. The credit block version in their opinion are the legit ones and were the ones issued to theatres. Hard to find the credit block ones.  I know of one for sale from a collector and they wanted $250 or $300. Cant remember the exact price but somewhere in that range.  

...and Under the Skin was selling strong at 80-100 until they dried up on ebay. Jomms has them for $150 now.
And look at this item number on ebay. $304??!?  Thats a anomoly for sure but it was the only one I saw when quickly checking completed auctions.

French 16x24" posters are good quality printings and also folded on the middle by the printers machine. I don't own any rolled 16x24 french posters so I can't say about quality.

Interesting.  I didn't notice that the Under the Skin one sheets are not all over eBay, etc., as they were a few months ago.

I picked up a Spring Breakers OS from Amazon, and sent this one off because it was in worse condition, and didn't even notice the difference with the ratings box.  That minor difference is probably why someone offered me $500 for it.

That's kinda like someone paying $595 for a Pretty Woman one sheet from Cinemasterpieces, because it is the rare version, as Dave L. has said, with NSS info.  Another example would be someone paying $395 for a Clerks one sheet because the seller allegedly has some info. that is not readily available to the public, that proves it's an original, as "discussed" in this thread.  http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,8957.0.html (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,8957.0.html)  Of course, there was ZERO evidence that these versions were the ones used in theaters, and the rest were not.
 
On this one for Spring Breakers, it seems to be identical to the one from Amazon without the ratings box.   It's very possible that the studio printed them for theaters, and then realized that someone done goofed and forgot to put the ratings box on, or a similar scenario, so they decided to sell them to fans, to liquidate their stock.  I really don't think the studio would do a separate print run just to sell them to fans.  

Without any evidence proving that one style was printed for theaters and the other was not, it's splitting some fine hairs, IMO, but to each his own.  Personally, I wouldn't put a huge "art gallery" price tag on these, but I'm also not a seller.  Anyway, congrats, AgentOrange.

It does seem a scarce poster (the version with the ratings box) and the film has a strong cult following. It has sold for more in the past too. So I think it seems a 'normal' price to me? But these things are all relative.

How can you tell whether it's a reprint or an original?

Also, if you email the folks at eMovie, I'm sure they would appreciate your insight.

Hi,
It's not a reprint but every original has been print one day. So I made an error telling "reprint" (but I'm not a born english speaking guy). So it's been printed in the 80's for a RE-RELEASE and I know it's not the same quality than the 60's re-release. So if you want more details you can zoom on the picture and you will see a name on left edge "YVES PRINCE" who was an illustrator for french posters in the 80's (his first illustration was for "The goalie's anxiety at the penalty kick" in 1978) so I hope you can define again what you called my "insight" now and very sorry for having said "reprint for a re-release" instead of "printed for a re-release". Am I forgiven ?  thumbsup.gif

No problem

So it's an 80s re-release, not a 60s re-release per the eMovie description. 

Thanks for the info.  I'm sure if someone sends the eMovie team an email, they will sort it out, and update their databases.

I'm quite sure of it too, I have to contact them for the shipping about some auctions to come so I'll tell them by the way.

So sorry about that Matt (and Ladeda). I was watching this and was perhaps fair to say (not surprised) to see the final tag. It is such an iconic film and it certainly has an evocative feel that honours the film.

Do you guys know if this is rare ? Ive never seen it before.

This WC for Marked Woman (1937), was re-listed for $599.00 / OBO and a best offer was accepted.   clap clap

It's a Beautiful card.. and even tho it needs some TLC, the majority of the art is intact & spectacular. The classic WB art (image) of Davis is also just spot on!

Congrats to whoever the new owner is! I think a great deal was had here.

Speaking of Marked Woman, the 1956RR OS just closed on EMP, for $24.00. Uses the same art as the original '37 OS, but in monochrome. (And not re-released by WB at that time, either).

Here's the actual poster for the movie Back to the Woods, 1918.  Cool that they would use an old stone litho as a prop, maybe Ma00$$00 works for the production company?

Nice, I'm a bit of a Chaplin convert. I never gave the films much time, but on a recent international flight I watched one, and boy did I laugh and cry. Really impressed. Sadly I had a beautiful original still that I sold years ago, I would have liked to have it now.

Gosh, I do wish I could like Chaplin. Not that I don't admire his invention and I can enjoy his films to a degree but I just find his character very difficult to empathise with. I'm a sentimental old thing but I do find him a tad cringeworthy at times. Give me Keaton, Turpin or dear old Laurel and Hardy any time...

Yes, extremely rare and of course as "cult" of a movie as they come -- I mean there is an annual festival celebrating it! :)

I'm guessing this was Mel's copy.

I heard everyone attends the festival dressed in a robe. Incidentally I went to an exhibition here in London and I read that it was Jeff Bridges's idea and he appeared on set wearing his own robe...and off he went to film it.

That man is just a treasure.

The 2nd high win on EMP, this past Thurs, was the US OS for The Boondock Saints (1999), going for $507.00   thumbsup.gif

I dont know this movie at all, but sounds like another cult classic (or on the way to being one). Again, is this style rare or not seen all that much?

Was it Paul in another thread looking for good flicks... Jeff after Halloween you need to watch Boondock Saints its definitely a great movie.  Very under the radar at the time and never got the attention it deserved including some great roles/performances.  It wont change your life, but its very entertaining.

Like i said it was a sleeper hit...people are still discovering it.  It might also have to do with Norman Reedus attaining god-like status as Darel Dixon in the AMC series the Walking Dead, one of the highest rated shows on TV, period.   http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005342/?ref_=tt_cl_t4

It does look like they are fairly uncommon, on EMP anyways, maybe Jason or Brandon know. Is this a poster we can say is "trending"?

If it helps this is the blurb I wrote up to help explain the rarity of posters for this film... the blurb is for a super rare Japanese B1 advance I'm going to be selling in the near future.

Quote
A cult movie if ever there was one, this movie grossed only $30,000 at the domestic box office (yes you read that correctly), but as of 2009 had $50 million in US video sales almost solely from word of mouth.  Boondock Saints had an extremely troubled multi-year trip to the big screen -- there were three aborted production attempts by Miramax, New Line and Paramount before finally being financed independently for only $7 million.  It was shopped around at Cannes but no studios were interested in distributing it.  After finally getting an independent distribution, it only screened in 5 theaters (yes, 5) for a single week!  And despite being released theatrically in another dozen or so countries, the worldwide box office was a laughable $400k.  It's pretty safe to say that almost nobody saw this film in the theaters -- which makes this advance Japanese B1 all the more rare!  Easily the best art from any country and with only a tiny title in Kanji, it could almost pass for an english language poster. 

Moral of the story... tiny theatrical distribution + huge cult following.

It's been taking forever, but with any luck I'll be launching my website soon and it will go on sale there.  I'm working on two websites -- a for sale site and the Eastern European reference site I've been promising for a (long) while.  For obvious reason the for sale needs to go online first!   :o


Here is the Japanese advance.  Below that is a shot of what it will look like displayed on my website.

Agreed wont change your life but it was pretty cool.  Also then follow up by watching " Overnight: the rise and fall of Troy Duffy"  all the footage was shot and documented the journey before during and after the movie. Focusing on Troy who wrote the movie and his huuge ego.   Lets just say he pissed Harvey Weinstein off pretty royally.

I also have heard the Columbine Massacre (you know the two kids in black trench coats with guns that shot up their school less than a year earlier) was heavy on the minds of the US and probably affected a having wider initial market release.  I am just speculating on that point not a hard fact.

Post by: erik1925 on October 27, 2015, 08:46:23 PM
That documentary sounds cool too, Jason.

And the Columbine shooting sure sounds like it might have played a part in this film's limited release.

Great info!

$2105.00 was the winning bid on this lightly restored HS, tonight, for The Man From Planet X (1951) on EMP.   WOW!!   clap clap

The gel backing process was done on this piece. I like how, once the restoration work is completed, that gel backing is removed, leaving the poster really much as it was, prior to it being worked on.

It would be cool to know who does the restorations for stuff that appears at auction, especially those that are gel backed.  I've had one poster gel backed by Poster Mountain, and one by Lumiere, and there is a stark contrast between the two.

Anyway, that one is rad.  cool1

The Stafford & Co should be nearer the bottom of the poster but this one is about 3cm from the bottom looking at the tape measure on the photo. I didn't think you would find one rolled considering the age, but might be mistaken. Someone has paid either a lot of money for a repo or got a very good deal on a rare poster albeit trimmed

What did you think it would closed at? Are you surprised?
I believe there is a lot of hype right now around Star Wars, which is causing the prices to bubble. It will be interesting to see how the EMP Star Wars auction goes in December.

We have never sold one in c7 condition for so much at auction, I don't think anyone has. So yes I was a bit surprised. We sell them in C9-C10 condition for that price all the time (we just sold one today).

The cover piece for the Heritage Signature Auction, Red Headed Woman (1932) one sheet, goes for $77,675.

It's a real beaut, and although the colors appear a little "boosted" in the photo, it appears to be in great condition.  As John from Poster Mountain told me when I was having an older poster restored, and as others have mentioned here, the older red inks can fade very easily, and become very washed out if a poster is bleached during the linen backing process.  The background and hair and all are such a bright red, and the letters and borders are so white, I just wonder how that all appears in person, and per the description which areas of the background were touched up.

Regardless, it's a beauty, and I'm sure the new owner is stoked that he/she won it.

While the video quality and white balance are far from the best, Red Headed Woman is right behind the podium, and the reds look a bit more subdued (i'm meaning the vibrancy of the red inks) in comparison to the the catalog image.

But i agree, Brandon, it's such a beautiful poster, and would look amazing up on the wall and part of anyone's collection!!  bed1

The colors on this piece look incredible, and the reflectivity of the inks make it very difficult to photograph correctly.
The speckled background also makes it very easy to tell where restoration has been performed when looking closely (though the busyness of the pattern helps hide it upon first glance). This poster has had very, very little work performed and is a gorgeous piece.

Right, there was a stark contrast in how it looked on the video and the photo, but as you said, the video was pretty rough quality. 

Agreed, it is a stunning example from Hollywood's Golden Age.

Yeah, photography can be difficult, and of course it's always best to see something first-hand.

I did a screen grab from the video (which is fuzzy) and adjusted the focus as best I could, as well as slightly adjusting the color temperature, using the auctioneer's skin tone as the gauge, (as the white balance seems a bit off). The exposure was also slightly adjusted.

The poster is seen behind him. I did a side by side with the online / catalog image as a comparison.

Here it is:

I very much know that reds can be difficult to photograph (or film) and light (regardless of the source of the red).

Here are 2 more examples of the same poster. One with a more red cast, and the other, more muted, with a red-brown tone to it.

Again, as a comparison to the HA image, which to me, has a more red-orange "glow."

That video still looks washed out and, I can't believe for a moment that Heritage would use such an obviously deceptive pic for the auction.

I'm only showing comparatives, Ted and making no comment on the image differences (from the various sources), aside from what I know and have learned about lighting and photographing of certain colors.  

That's also why i indicated that the screen grab and video image are far from perfect and why i based the adjustments on the skin tone of the living auctioneer, who looks rather healthy (not washed out) and with good color in his cheeks.

Also of interest is that the pic on the right has been manipulated with Photoshop transformation.
Notice how wide the head is on the right as opposed to the image on the left and the image in the vid?

Its entirely possible that whoever transformed that brown image also used Photoshop's color correction tool automatically?
That's quite a difference between what was advertised and what was sold.
I'm wondering whether the true color falls somewhere in between?

the image width issue is most likely the difference between a photographic image and a video image, both of which use different algorithms as well as the monitor on which you are viewing - all of which have different aspect ratios. I'm sure if I did the same capture on my monitors they would be different

HERITAGE POWER... WOW!!!

I want to say that 90% of the lots sold for way more than what they should have.  I had about 30 items on my list, I did my research on previous sales, and all of them sold x2 or x3 above average.  Furthermore, I own about 50 or so items that went for sale and when I compare what they sold for vs what I paid for them, I can multiply by 5 on average, and in one case by 19.

So good for Heritage, good for sellers but not so good for bidders, imo.

From my limited perspective, I can concur with that assessment.

Which begs the question, Why?

Today's sales is furthering this assessment with some of the lesser items from my particular area of interest having sold, and $500 for something of which there are three examples currently on offer on ebay at ~$100 does raise questions.

I reckon there are pros and cons for both sales platforms.  Heritage can certainly work magic with their photos (I have been bitten here as a result), and ebay sellers can invariably pack a poster as though they were packing a bag of nuts, but I would prefer to the take a chance on the latter as opposed the former in these situations.

1 for $83k
2 pieces for $77k

...and they aren't anywhere near the highest prices they've gotten for quite a number of posters

plus they get such high valued posters with such regularity that it sets them apart from any sellers

there just aren't better words to say about it.

Undoubted congrats aside, just because they sell posters for one market at $97k, I wonder why the 'other', and lower end of the market that looks for $100 posters, doesn't then just hit ebay for the true(r) prices.

I am looking at a Bond double bill Octopussy / For Your Eyes Only Quad that sold happily on Heritage for ~$300 this weekend, which on ebay is having a hard time attracting interest at $70.

I could care less who buys what from where, this is just curiosity about buying habits...

At the end of the day, both ebay and Heritage are selling online in an auction format.  Why does one platform attract one type of buyer and the other, another?

everyone isn't the same T.
most likely the results are combinations of many factors from having a specialized customer list; having buyers who may not buy at other auctions; having collectors from a variety of external collecting fields like comics, coins, props etc; people who don't take other results as the 'gospel' AND people who have too much money (and aren't cheap skates like too many collectors are)

because they aren't even remotely the same. Ebay is a trash heap that you have to search heavily to find material that hasn't been listed for years with no sale at high prices, has few real auctions by % and has even fewer REAL auctions by starting price.

HA has Casablanca 1sheets, Frankenstein window cards and Three Stooges lobby cards .... I don't see these items on ebay AND there is no searching through many thousands of unwanted items

Stuff on my watch list was all over the place.  From the sublime to the ridiculous ($9500 for Assassin of Youth, seriously???).  Wish I'd had a go at the Detour insert, thought it was going to be out of league, alas, quite reasonable.

I do note the continuing softness on the fiddies sci fi and '30s UniHo items.  Don't know if they were hampered by condition issues as I didn't watch that closely but a lot of really quality titles were going at or below their low estimates.  Perhaps the time is coming where we mere mortals can begin to participate.

I did sense the presence of Mr/s. Ma...neybags continuing to bid up any silent one sheet.  Talk about a blip in the space/time continuum.  I have a feeling somebody is taking them to the cleaners.

I'd like to see Bruce compete better with HA. I prefer to buy from EMP than HA. HA have some amazing items though.
- Maybe making the EMP website look more current less antiquated (plus it is difficult to view it on mobile phone as EMP site is not mobile friendly and most people it looks like view sites using their mobile phones now (http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/6/8558535/google-mobile-search-vs-desktop)),
- removing old fashioned looking poster censorship (yes, a bee in my bonnet),
- less wordy ads where I don't know where to look and makes me not want to look (I haven't logged into the members newsletter for years),
- and probably needs somehow some more big ticket items which I am guessing may need to be no profit or loss making to build reputation for higher end items.
I don't want to preach, so I will say I am not a business owner and others who are may know better.

EMP however equals or exceeds HA with high res images, knowledge, shipping, quantity and service already which is a great foundation, so I hope EMP can find the momentum to compete more with HA. EMP sales were increasing very well only some years back,  but dropped off a little bit recently (http://www.emovieposter.com/sales/postersales.php) (could just be the economy) ), but fingers crossed it is onwards and upwards.

Steve.. 5 years ago it was 50% selling at $15 or less, now, when I look, I see 60%, 65%.. one week I saw 71%

it's representative of the fact that so many items each week are far more than the collector's market can handle and so prices keep tumbling
it's an endemic issue that all dealers are unhappy with as it effects us all negatively and realistically - it effects collectors as well
who wants to buy a poster in January for $100 and see the price ridden down to $25 by December?

I agree with you here, too rich. Those that bid at HA (more so the Sig auctions) are in a different cash league, too, Im willing to bet. Tacking and not being bothered on an additional 19.5% on a $75K purchase, says something (to me, anyhow).

And the items are often very special.. and they come to HA with great regularity.

Other sites also receive those more rare, or potentially one-of-a-kind items, but not with the same frequency. And chances are, too, that many of HA's heavy hitters do  not bid elsewhere, preferring to stick with Grey & Co.

I am sure you are right. I noticed some good deals on the silent cinema front. At one point a really endearing Chaplin had 0 bids@ $290. All the others had a bid with her/his name all over it.  I bet M$000 got had a good night.

Agree on both accounts. The site could be clearer. But to me the key issue is about their offer. They have exquisite posters but rarely  extraordinary posters like HA. I know HA has BP but that never bothered me. I am looking forward to the March Sig auction already.

I am looking at EMP now, as FOR ME his prices are LOW, the stuff that interests me he doesn't do well with.
But his postage is a killer, I know about the hold and post thing, but $50 or so to post to me is too much.
(looking at it from a reselling POV) if it was something/s for me personally its a different story of course.

I think EMP's shipping prices are a bit high, too. But there is that security in knowing the items are being well packaged and then arriving undamaged.  ;)

I consider myself a véritable posterphile more than most, including the ones who might have paid $87 K from a high profile Heritage auction.  That stuff is about power buyers waving their wallets around.  Rather than shunned by the competition they are attracted by it.

Yup.. I'm sure there are those that bid at that realm (whether it be for posters or anything else) where that thought process is going through their minds, Vick.

And remember when Ralph DeLuca was then Tweeting about his poster wins and buys a couple years ago too? (Metropolis comes to mind).  ;)

good suggestions, hopefully someone has a membership over there and can see this thread. I think after the December Major EMP will pretty much match the 2014 results though.  

I would also add :

- as i previously mentioned, adding a one click button that searches that movie poster in their database, rather than having to go to the history page, typing the movie etc.
- some sort of tube recycling program you can opt into if available.  I've sent super hardcore consignment tubes to EMP and yet when I get my EMP posters its always a new gorilla tube and they charge me for it.  What did they do with my supertube, trash it?
- no more discriminatory practices against Non US customers - if in some cases they are taking a "hit" by having $12 super full tubes to anywhere in the US, why cant they take a somewhat similar hit at the international level?

But dont forget too, probably the hundreds (or thousands) of tubes they send out with ONLY one poster inside at that 12 dollar rate. I've mailed a single poster, in one of those gorilla tubes, across the country, and with USPS Priority 3 Day Shipping (as the parcel weighed over 13 oz and therefore, was the only USPS mailing option available), the cost was about $6.75.

So it balances out, I'm willing to wager, in the long run.

the difference between 13 oz & 18 ozs is severe.. about $3.00 more from coast to the other coast and from experience, it is rare that I mail a package weighing less than 1 lb

A lot of people would say "there is something seriously wrong with" someone who spends $0.87 on a poster.  

It has nothing to do with capitalism or ego, in many cases.  Personally, I've spent $X on something, because I care a lot about it and it means something to me.  The same situation for many others, of course.

I'd tend to agree with this.  $87k for a piece of printed paper is ridiculous, imo.  I'd much rather buy an original Calder or any low end modern art pieces.  I don't think I could ever convince myself to buy a movie poster for more than $10k.

(Poster) art in the eye of the beholder, I guess, eh, T?

And some would likely say the same of spending even $100.00 for a poster. It's all about what one can afford, and what value they assign (again, to any collectible) in their own head, too.

So true and totally linked to your current financial situation.  Right now, I'm only thinking about my kids.  I do not trust Contemporary Art (which has been grossly inflated by the Chinese and should come down drastically in the coming year) and I do not trust niche collecting like posters.  I do trust Modern Art and Old Masters to some extant, even thought XIX century art has gone down a lot.  So in my mind, anything lower than $10,000 is fair game when it comes to posters.  Anything above I do not trust.  Which is why I turn to fine art.  But like you said, Jeff, it's all extremely personal.  Some people won't touch the stock market, some people invest in gold...  I look at what's best for my kids.

This would be EMP #1 cost saver other than laying off staff...

Quit wrapping every poster purchased in another layer of craft paper. I get tubes with rolled posters that most of the weight is from the craft, not the actual posters. That increases the shipping cost of every tube going out by probably 50%.

Dale, your packaging is impeccable. And it was NO where near $12.00 to ship to me (Iowa to Calif.) Plus, the posters were here in 3 days, MAX!, AND in a gorilla tube.

Just sayin'.   cheers

I'm pretty sure they have the same meaning.  Do you think there should there be one agreed upon adjective, such as "extremely?"

Should either term/word even be used with auction houses or dealers?

I'm thinking not.

Those are the kinds of words used by lone, *bay sellers. And they dont mean a whole lot (to me).  ;)

Brandon Jeff

I feel the way they are being used over at EMP there is a degree of rarity implied..as in Ultra Rare would be the at top, then Super Rare...and the simply Rare for example....perhaps I should just email Bruce or Phil and ask them...

This is actually very interesting. In Spanish they do have a different emphasis hence to me ultra is rarer, as it is above and beyond anything else. Super is like maximum but ultra is a step above everything else. But I think like Brandon said, in this context they do mean the same (or at least in EN). I however cannot help it and ultra reads rarer to me!

If in doubt...go for the "super ultra rare" ...yes...have seen this on ebay too!
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: erik1925 on December 04, 2015, 01:13:32 AM
By all means.. you should ask EMP. Only they know the descriptive, as pertains to how they are using it.  :)

But "rare" is thrown around so much on places like the bay, when it is actually far from the truth.

And if something is described as 'ultra' or 'super' rare, on any site that has a data base, search the title on that site's DB. That will help determine how rare an item might be, based on the number of copies sold prior, from that dealer/seller/auction house.

That was my only point.  :D

Post by: Gingerman on December 04, 2015, 01:16:12 AM
Jeff Rosa

Of course Jeff!! I just sent an email, I will share my findings. I also will not dispute these terms should not be used.
However as Rosa pointed out, and to my own personal thoughts, Ultra is implied IMHO as the top....
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Neo on December 04, 2015, 01:26:58 AM
Rosa, that's good to know.  I can now see how, technically, "ultra" could imply a higher degree.

Now the big question is: what comes after "super ultra rare?"  8)


Jeff, that is a good point about how the term is used untruthfully on eBay.  It's kinda like the ol' "a long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale" and there are like dozens others currently listed.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: erik1925 on December 04, 2015, 01:34:56 AM
 "Ultra" and other such terms, imply a greater and/or so called, "uber" rarity, of some sort (imho).

I guess the question is...

Is it a true descriptive, especially when used by dealers or auction houses?

I dont know.  dontknow.gif

On ebay... its a toss.. used every day.  :P

It is all simple, its alphabetical.

Rare, super rare, ultra rare. Next I predict will be zowie rare

Post by: PwrPencil on December 04, 2015, 02:02:02 AM
Maybe there should be a agreed upon classification.

In comic collecting the Overstreet Comic Price Guide describes it as:

VERY RARE: 1-10 copies exist
RARE: 11-20 copies exist
SCARCE: 21-100 copies exist

Post by: BruceH on December 04, 2015, 06:47:43 AM
On the "rareness" of items, I ALWAYS simply go on the number of past examples of that exact item we have ever auctioned in the past.

This is slightly complicated by the fact that after so many years (25), we now regularly get the exact same examples back a second time. And of course, sometimes they have been restored since we first had them.

But there is an added rareness factor. There are some titles where NO movie paper of any size shows up, and others where only a single poster of a different size has shown up, and others where only a lobby card or two has shown up, and others where only a still or two has shown up. I see these factors as adding to the "rareness" of items.

I feel such qualities are worth pointing out. If you disagree, ignore it. I DON'T refer to how many are "known to exist" because there are likely thousands of collections I have never seen, so how could I know that? And I don't look at other online databases when discussing rarity, because many contain the same item that was "auctioned" again and again and I don't want to try to determine which are the same.

There are specific posters where only one has been previously auctioned by us, others where only two or three have been previously auctioned by us, and so forth. I include this information when it seems worth pointing on. I usually DON'T include it on items like silent lobby cards, because those are generally so rare that in almost all cases they have never been previously auctioned by us, so why point it out every time.

An interesting case is the collection of 23 silk banners that were just discovered and consigned to us. That is double the amount we auctioned in all our previous 25 years of auctioning, and I thought that fact well worth mentioning on each auction, because the chances of any of these coming to auction again is extremely tiny.

jay, do you have a pic of the LC you won? Would love to see it.

And congrats on your win!   thumbup

With the recent Keaton chatter, I think someone did very nicely on this OS for Sidewalks of New York (1931).

It went tonight for $1325.00

Congrats to the new owner!   thumbsup.gif

Actually, I think the BTTF Adv is right where it should be.  On the modern stuff, stupidity is The Enforcer and Jaws 2 ($5k+), finally coming to their senses is LA Confidential (still way to high at $1.4k imo), and below what I thought is American Werewolf (only $900), Alien Adv ($800) and ET Adv ($600, although that copy is in terrible shape, so it probably makes sense).

I guess I didn't realize the BTTF ADV would/should fetch that much. That Jaws 2 was ridiculous.... Have you seen the Revenge of the Jedi on the bay pushing 35k right now? 

I still need that Adv ET....but that one was not it.

You got it so right.  I came home from running, smoked some pot, got a glass on wine, took a shower and kept drinking the vino, ordered super spicy Indian food and then realized maybe, maybe I should drink some water ;)

Owing to current financial commitments (major home improvements) I had to forgo bidding in Part 3 apart from just one under-priced lot which I won. I hoped I could have been a contender for that Jaws 2 poster but had that down as a $2000 poster. The bar is set now for a hard to understand price and unless three or four surface in the coming months, in response to this sale, which mop up immediate demand I can't see myself being able to acquire one. The Enforcer was a $1000 poster in my opinion so the hammer price for that one was even harder to fathom. I think the Reservoir Dogs Cannes style was under-priced and a great buy for someone.

Dan (not his name, btw, I can't remember his real name now) had a very nice collection which made me green with envy when I started collecting.  I printed jus entire website, which I still have, and it was quite something.  Only 70s on stuff, but some really rare items.  I think it is the only collection of posters that I ever coveted, probably because I was starting in the hobby and didn't know where to find the rare pieces in his collection.

He also did some amazing identifications, way way better than the other guy who erased his pictures from our forum. 

I think he sold most of his stuff since I ended up buying quite a few pieces.  And then he disappeared.  He only lives now in my memory.

Dan had an incredible knowledge of rarer modern posters. He came under pressure from some individuals regarding the validity of his (thorough) authentications and in particular the "minty whites". I still have a collection of emails from him, from when he operated a "secret" mailing list, that contains a lot of helpful information.

Bruce got some good results in his Star Wars auction. One that caught me off guard was that the Starfall B2 went for so much.  That is the most I have ever seen that style sell for.
http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=4073297

The Force Awakens feeding frenzy seems to have bumped all these results up for a while, but with the current stream of Star Wars films in the future thanks to the Mouse House, will these results (or something close) become the new norm?

One of these days, Thierry, everything will go for the prices you think are "fair", and you will be very happy, but I (and my consignors) will likely be very sad!

And jpicken, we previously sold the Starfall for $2,000, so it DID beat that by a wide margin!

I think that poster would go higher if it wasn't labelled "commercial".  There is a whole new crop of collectors who is not aware of its rarity and its history and won't spend the time reading about it.  They probably see that it is a commercial poster in the title and walk away.  That's how I would react if I didn't know better.

But it is a commercial poster, and Bruce is doing the honest thing and describing it as such.

I'll never forget the time that I held off on pulling the trigger on a Starfall BIN that Peter Vilmur posted on the old MPT... It was $75, but had a 3/4" tear...

But only because I'd like to flip it for the cash.  It's one of the most over-rated Star Wars (RotJ technically) images out there...

Agree, I think one of the best John Wayne images is a commercial poster. BTW, can i ask a question ?

Not that I don't love them and have a while bunch, but I still consider those mostly commercial.  You do not print a run of 100 for a 1 night, 1 venue screening of a film unless you are doing it for the commercial market.  Some of it is a byproduct of the fact that it cost money to make the screens and pay for the art, so extra are printed and sold to recoup the cost.  This was especially true early, but they were still printed for commercial sale, even if the intentions were purely altruistic.

I agree with Kovacs. Facts are that regardless of Alamo's being used theatrically, they were also done as items for sale, which clearly enters them into the 'commercial' arena

Not that I don't love them and have a while bunch, but I still consider those mostly commercial.  You do not print a run of 100 for a 1 night, 1 venue screening of a film unless you are doing it for the commercial market.  Some of it is a byproduct of the fact that it cost money to make the screens and pay for the art, so extra are printed and sold to recoup the cost.  This was especially true early, but they were still printed for commercial sale, even if the intentions were purely altruistic.

Not true.  The cost of initial creation is higher than scaling to quantity.  You would if they were meant to advertise the events, some of these just advertised the event in a non-traditional manner, which they most certainly accomplished.   Alamo, a super-small Texas chain, built a nation-wide brand on the backs of these rolling roadshows that is the envy of every other small theater chain in the country - which was a major reason why they undertook such tasks.  It was an exceptional marketing strategy...

And the second part of your argument can apply to most any (US/UK) movie poster printed in the last 40 years.

I agree with Archie. As an example, how many of the tens of thousands of posters for Star Wars The Force Awakens that have been printed are intended to be used for actual theatrical display as opposed to sale?

True.  Obviously, it is cheaper per item if you print 100, but it is still a cheaper total cost to print 2.  You print more (and very smartly so) if you want to sell more to offset the cost of printing the first 2.  Advertising is a cute idea, except that they were sold at the shows to attendees or after the fact to collectors.  Or, in other words, to people that were already going to be paying customers without an advertising dollar spent and to people without a Delorean to go back in time and spend money on a show that already happened.

Not sure which had a worse ratio, probably a RR print if 100 were printed.  You figure Force Awakens is playing at over 4,100 theaters with most places displaying 4-5 posters for a blockbuster these days, and then multiple versions so that they aren't forced to display the same poster those 4 or 5 times and then multiples of each for ones that end up damaged.  That becomes a big number fast of posters legitimately printed for use in a theater, but I have no idea how many were actually printed.  Just spitballing.......

I don't believe poster sale is among the considerations of the movie's producers nor is it the intention. They get sold by those who do not have a connection to the creation and printing of them. By "downwinders" reaping a benefit that their employers would frown upon.

Not always.  Your definition of advertising is too limited. The entire process was a part of the advertising of the events. And it wasn't just the individual events that they were selling.

why would there be a shortage for the vast majority of titles?
They print based on perceived need AND quantity needed to get a printing price point.
maybe it costs $5000 to print 20,000 posters, but it might only cost $6000 to print 30,000 posters or $7000 to print 50,000 posters
after your initial order, which includes the cost of 'set-up', increasing print quantities is negligible. Promotions departments will print a determined excess to needs as the worst thing that could happen is to run out.

I was responding to your earlier quote that poster production was strictly for theater display and public distribution was a non-consideration.  I agree totally with your thoughts on production costs.  But, if the extras get printed and there is a known demand, those posters are going to get out into the secondary resale market.  If the producers don't make that money, it will be made by some flunky who was told to trash the surplus.

On a somewhat related note.  I took my kids to the rare theater outing for the latest Star Wars.  It was at a mall UA theater for the IMAX screen.  There were some standees, but not a single 1 sheet poster on display.  They had a few dozen 1 sheet lightboxes, but they were filled with commercial advertising or public service announcements.

Wha? "But, if the extras get printed and there is a known demand, those posters are going to get out into the secondary resale market".  

You mean from theaters right, not the studio directly?

If the studios do not directly sell via a website or something similar they DO NOT sell. There is zero and I mean zero posters actively sold from the major studios to a collectibles market now. What is sold is back door or employee/owner taken and sold.  There are contracts having to do with poster specifics when it comes to marketing and names on said posters would want a cut of that activity if above board sales were happening.


I also complete disagree with the idea of majority of items coming from non-theatrical venues. Many or your ebay sellers and websites have "buy it all" deals with indy owners and even chains. Pick a new release, see how many people are selling it. There are over 5400 theaters in the US, so in relation to the number being sold, not a lot. Also screen count normally calculates out your poster allocation, so we are sitting at about 40,000 screens. That means most locations are going to get more than they need.

Tough crowd tonite at Emovie.  I won 9 of the 22 posters I had marked, fought a little and raised the price of many.  Some went for peanuts, like the original French Good Bad and Ugly.  A very rare poster which sold for $100 more than the very common 70s re-release.  Some also went for way more what they're worth, and I actually fell in that trap.

Are you sure the original 1966 French 1p sold at 100  USD.  From I have seen, it sold at 387 USD ??

More and more poster on Emovie are selling for more what they're worth, you can usually find these in small collector shop for less (I verified for a few French 1p).  Sure, you save on shipping with the Pay & Hold but if you are in France or close to a small shop, I am sure you are better off there :p

This said, the French and Italian posters in yesterday's auctions are just beautiful.

You misread my quote.  I said that it sold for $100 more than the very common 70s re-release, not that it sold for $100.

Yup - this is something I have noted too.  Indeed for the UK, related to both 1 Sheets and the Quads.

Banners are very much in evidence.

Where I do see 1 Sheets is for the future releases.  But not for what is currently on release.

Exactly.  You are already there watching the film, so there is no need to continue advertising it to you.

Sort of.

So this means that the Only posters the cinema displays are teaser posters, and Not main release posters.

But it also means that once you are there, you are not being advertised to for the other exciting releases that are currently on show...which could drag one back in the following week for something.

Which leads one back to the question of where the posters are used.

'Main release' poster are regularly at theaters months before release.  Cross-selling isn't as big deal because those flicks will be gone by the time the average movie goer comes back.  There is a reason that they only show trailers for coming attractions any more...

This just sold on ebay for $2,569.  The guy had several rare US WW1 posters that also did really well.  This the rarest of the lot, representing one of the first US Tank Corps recruitment posters (it was a new unit around that time).  Amazing to see this sort of art for a 1917 piece, almost looks comic book like.

Thanks for the interest folks!  Thanks also for the question about the black cat as I turn to the amazing folks at usmilitariaforum.com to learn something and share it here :

When the Tank Corps was established as its own entity in March 1918, it adopted the motto "Treat 'em Rough"  (from a popular slogan of the time, "Catch 'em young, treat 'em rough, tell 'em nothing."  When the Tank Corps set up recruiting at the New York City Public Library on Fifth Avenue and Forty-Second Street, they had a mechanical bobcat on the top of a mock-up tank as attraction.
 
(http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/uploads//monthly_04_2015/post-949-0-41297700-1428518062.jpg)
The recruiters decided they wanted a black cat for the mascot and for an attraction to be held at Century Theater in NYC.  They offered a $2 reward for a live black cat.  Only one kid showed up with a cat

While the Tank Corps recruiters were at the NYC Public Library in September 1918, An artist, Gustav W Hufal, made crayon sketches of the type of cat the boys wanted. He drew a picture of a soldier holding the only cat entered.

(http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/uploads//monthly_04_2015/post-949-0-28772500-1428521171.jpg)

According to the New York Times article, "While the sketches were being made, the mechanical cat on top of the small tank was kept arching its back and waving its tail while the make-believe gun on the tank kept rattling away to the great satisfaction of the crowd."

The soldier whom he drew was none other than Sgt Guy Empey, the Canadian who wrote "Over the Top."  After Empey left the Canadian Army, he joined the fledgling U.S. Tank Corps.

HA runs an excellent weekly auction
500 +/- items each week and they do about 40-50k

no surprise they did almost $8million in movie poster division last year via auctions

this is not to say that other auctions aren't up to snuff, that would be false, but HA is #1

500 +/- items each week and they do about 40-50k

no surprise they did almost $8million in movie poster division last year via auctions

this is not to say that other auctions aren't up to snuff, that would be false, but HA is #1

Agree. I like their weekly paper. Sometimes I find there posters which I would expect to see in the Sig auction, and i am surprised to find it in the weekly...but then I remember that it is HA and that they really get some extra-ordinary paper. :P

I just looked Steve and it's more than just 'some goodies'

I sorted the last auction (sales $45,391.) by high price to low and at 50 listings per page, the first 2 pages were $119 to $1792

100 items at $100+

that's a solid listing of material

Yes. I think the weekly offering has improved. That said, two of my most beloved posters from HA were  from the weekly auction. So it has always been an interesting one to watch.

Top honors went to the first draft screenplay for (Creature From The) Black Lagoon, closing at $2800.00   thumbup

I have to say, Heritage is certainly seller friendly.  They usually get 3x to 5x more than what I paid for most of my posters.  Sometimes even more.  So if you're selling, it's probably your best option out there, although I don't know how much commission they charge vs. emovie.  But for a buyer who has a clear idea of how much posters should sell for, their weekly sale sucks.  I can never buy anything over there.

they got almost $500 for a Terminator 1sh 3 weeks ago and for the 1997R Star Wars SE posters, they got $75-103 each!! (same posters I was selling the dinged set of 4 for $60)

every week they sell a bunch of posters for startling prices. I picked up a Marihuana 1sh on ebay for $1000 last month. They got $2600 for one yesterday. There's a reason they did $55,672.75 on 503 posters (that's an average of $110 per poster!)

If I were selling, it would be a good return for sure.  I feel like I could sell my collection for A LOT more than what I paid for it, but I'm not, so that's beyond the point.  

And as far as titles, there are just too many and I don't know how to check past auctions, but pretty much everything I own.  I remember 2 1941 posters that sold for more than $200 a week ago.  I mean, c'mon, they're worth probably $10 or $20 max.  I just look for cheap deals, and I guess a lot of people don't or don't care.  More power to them.

Finding something that is a deal, or an unexpected find in places other than an auction house, is what I think is so much fun about the hobby. Maybe tripping across something unexpected, or when you arent even looking for something. It hits you, the price is WAY right, and you go for it.

And then seeing the same piece selling for much more down the road, is just like icing on the cake.

this was just another auction with a retailer selling wares at a price lower than their gallery prices and calling it an auction
makes you wonder what their retail gallery prices are!

Post by: eatbrie on January 31, 2016, 06:21:58 PM
Well, actually, I think these prices are pretty close to their gallery prices.  But if they run an auction, they need to start much lower, if only to make us think that we're getting it for cheap.  They were probably banking on rarity, but it didn't work.  An expensive poster is an expensive poster, even if it's never to be seen again.

Steve, if they own all of the material, they just made sales. If the items were consignments, why waste the time?

T is correct with his last comment also " if they run an auction, they need to start much lower, if only to make us think that we're getting it for cheap."

that is the nature of an auction. Letting people set the price (within parameters - I no longer believe in $1 auctions for instance) by allowing them to get it at a reasonable bargain if there is no competition. It's a situation where the seller & the buyer both give something up (so to speak) "I'm willing to sell it to you at a low price, if you'll actually pay me, but if there are other bidders - I hope you will compete so that I can achieve a benefit by having allowed you to potentially get a bargain on my item."

Looks like the international community of poster collectors gave these guys a big F-U

I bet they barely broke even after paying liveauctioneers fees.  Most of their posters were too small or had condition issues to command that sort of money and the 0% BP was just a ruse.  Even the non-movie posters were ridiculous (if any of you were paying attention) i mean $200 for a Winter Fair poster, $150 for a detergent commercial? Glad i didn't waste a Sunday here although they do have a nice logo

I watched the bulk of it, but less so, when it got into the soap/shoes/necktie and smattering of travel posters that were closer to the end. The opening bids on everything for the most part, were pie in the sky openings. If I recall, I think the lowest opening bid, on just a few of the posters, was $80.00

To see the opening prices and passes on many of the opening lots, inc Alien, ESB, Close Encounters, Some Like IT Hot, etc, seemed to set the tone for things to come.  :-\

Post by: eatbrie on February 02, 2016, 11:57:19 PM
There is no theory.  I'm just extremely lazy, and selling means digging, finding, packaging, shipping, and dealing with people, and that's way too much for me to handle.  I like buying because it doesn't involve work.  That's it.

I only buy duplicates if 1) I find a better copy or 2) if the price is so good I can't pass it up.

In the case of Raiders, I had a lot of credit with a store here in Hollywood (they've closed since) and they paid me off with multiple of many posters.

Yeah, that was an unexpected result. I placed some bids on that one but was not the high bidder, and was indeed surprised to find such relentless competition.  There is at least one other person out there willing to spend money on Mexican posters.

I did get some other good ones though  ;D

Cool looking daybill, there, Brandon. And what is also interesting and different from the more standard looking DB, is what is written at the very bottom, stating it is a Roadshow Release. Does that term apply to a first release run in AU? Dunno.

The other db dont have this: ( as can be seen on EMP's database http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/MAD%2520MAX%25202%253A%2520THE%2520ROAD%2520WARRIOR/tag/xtype%253AAustralian%2520daybill/archive.html )

That may explain why they went with a different color, so it would stand out to promote the re-release.(?)

Roadshow are an Aussie distro company and are notorious for crappy cheap posters for their releases.
I haven't seen this before, but the film was very popular, so perhaps a second run.

Some good bidding last night at eMovie.

Ratatouille is a great movie, and this B1 is neat.  Two guys, monopainter and MOVIEGOINGEXPCE drove up the price from $56 to $215.

This B1 for The Ninth Gate is cool, especially with the added texture.  Surprising it didn't get more bidding action.  I put a bid on it, but didn't battle with Monsieur Brie, who won it.

Yes, I have the Ninth Gate B1 and the raised texture and gloss of the blood on an otherwise matte finish poster is quite striking in person.

It's all relative, but considering the title, art, uniqueness (assuming not many exist), size and provenance, I thought the buyer wpuld have been happy with the hammer price. I wonder what it might have gone for at an auction house with more US visibility?

I'm biased though as I think it's a really cool piece!

Because it's crap. Sorry, did I say that out loud?  Hopefully no one on here bought it.  There is a reason it was rejected in the first place.  It's just not very good.  You have to understand, 100s of those are sometimes produced for a single movie.  I remember when I was at DreamWorks sitting through an endless presentation of mockups.  Three or four agencies presenting their work.  Pass, pass, pass... It all takes 1 second.  Eventually, some of them end up in the secondary market.  Some of them are not real, just some fanboy passing them on.  Personally, I just think that collecting rejected artwork is a waste of money and time.

Interesting insider insight.

I guess I agree on one point that it isn't the greatest in terms of design. Having said that I think it's far more interesting than the Mondo and their type of prints that are produced. To me they have little or no connection to the films they represent where as this is (hopefully) directly connected.

As a huge Spielberg collector I thought this would have been a welcome addition to your all encompassing collection, but I guess different strokes for different folks. Going back to the design, if I only selected posters on the quality of design for my collection I don't think I'd have a collection.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on February 14, 2016, 05:49:19 PM
To me, it's as relevant as if you drew me a picture of Marty and asked me to add it to my Spielberg collection.  It would mean nothing, and this doesn't either.  Someone did a bad collage and the brass at universal rejected it.  On a big movie like BttF, there are probably a lot more of these out there.  Studios usually keep them and destroy them when they're done with the campaign.  Nowaday, they're not even printed anyone, just digital images.  It would have a much different meaning if it had been selected for an obscure campaign at the far end of Kurdistan.  Then I would have bought it.

What I like about it, is that it is all drawn art. None of the imagery is an actual photograph.

Maybe not the best overall, but better than photos that were merely cut out and pasted together. Too bad the artist isnt identified, as I rather like the renditions of all 3 actors.

This one hurts, Bruce.  I usually don't give a shit whether I win or not, it's just posters, right, but I really wanted it.  I also had to factor in linenbacking, because it's in terrible condition, and it just became too much for what it is.  There are other rare Bardot posters that I want that I can get for much less, and other rarer that I got for less, so why spend so much on this one.  But it does hurt, I won't lie.  Maybe I should have gone higher.  Damn.

I think someone did well on this rare, 1937 6 sheet for Second Honeymoon tonight. It closed at $182.00 

It looks like only the top border was slightly trimmed (the left, right and bottom borders are all sharp and untouched) so it must not have measured the standard 81x81 inches, when complete. (the descrip. says it now measures 78.25 x 78.75 inches)

The artwork is all there and it's a beautiful stone litho.  thumbsup.gif

The high price doesn't mean anything.  It's just two idiots fighting over a poster, pretty much like I did a few days ago.  It can happen anytime and it really doesn't reflect the value of the poster.  If you look at the list of bidders, only 3 people wanted it over $150 and two above $350.  That's what the poster is worth, somewhere between $150 and $300, which makes much more sense.

Good grief.  I popped over to this thread specifically for the Bond poster.

I bailed out early on thinking over $100 was too rich for me.  I had No idea it would have risen to this dizzy height.

Rare?  I have never seen one for sale before.  Never seen one, period.  (I am in the UK)

It is lovely though.

this is one of the scams of the publishing industry
you have a title called Amazing Adult Fantasy and you have to pay the post office $25 to register the title for bulk mailing.
Well, you decide after a few issues that the title is a little long, or maybe 'adult' doesn't make any sense for your market and you want to change the title.
You don't want to pay another $25 to register another title with the post office, so you make a subtle change and you retitle it "Amazing Fantasy" and for several issues previously, you reduce the font for 'adult', so if they look at the previous issue, it sort of looks like it was Amazing Fantasy all the time. You have continued the numbering system, and so it seems to be a continuous series.

then, you want to add a new character, and you call him the Amazing Spider-Man because he is in this 'Amazing' title already.. then, when he is a hit, since you already stopped printing Amazing Fantasy, you publish Amazing Spider-Man, claim it is continuous and save $25. sometimes it didn't work

EC comics..
Gunfighter became Haunt of Fear
Crime Patrol became Crypt of Terror became Tales From the Crypt
Happy Houlihans becomes Saddle Justice becomes Saddle Romances and turns into Weird Science

This beautiful OS for Cleopatra (1934) was up and listed and pulled from auction on the very same day. The opening bid was $9.90

Seller later said he had to travel out of the country on business and had to end the auction. All a bit curious.

But regardless, the poster looks to be in great condition and it really packs a punch.  bed1

Someone on vmpf posted a write up about a new scam (which now I can't find) where they you can inspect the item before purchase but your send monies to a third party and of course you don't get the money back or the poster.

The e-mail from MOPO read:

I saw that...under the subject heading 'another ebay scam'

Here's the content:

Here's his email reply to me:

Hi,

My Cleopatra Movie Poster is not on eBay anymore, but it's still available for sale.
My usual schedule has been changed and I had to go to Spain to take care of some business and that's why I've ended my auction.
The final price for the poster is US $ 1,300.00 including all the shipping costs and insurance.
The poster measures 41" tall X 27" across.
Also I want to let you know that you will have the opportunity to receive and inspect the poster before you actually pay for it. If you are interested and want to know more details regarding the purchase just contact me.
Thanks,
Julian

I also saw the MOPO post and noticed the zero feedback from the seller. To inspect something before paying, according to the response the MOPO'er got sounded WAY fishy to me, too.

But its a beautiful copy of the poster. I wonder what the real story is about it then (who has it, is this an older recycled image etc)

I wonder if there's a scammers convention in Spain since the Skrill dood and the poster dood are both there "on business"?

It'd be hilarious if it were so evil.  I'm generally opposed to the death penalty but I could sign on to bringing back drawing and quartering for these d-bags and their ilk.

Never heard of Skrill, but the write up seems very thorough.

And it is always interesting to see scammers hard at work.

Anyone ever read the 419eater.com site where a British chap takes these (mostly Nigerian) guys on and actually succeeds in reversing the scam on the scammers with, very often, utterly hilarious results.  Some of the reads are quite in depth and one has to stay with the to and fro of the exchange to the end, but the chap's skills at writing, technology and artistry, not to mention humour, make for brilliant reading.

I have been in painful tears while reading these stories in the office.

Normally a 5 figure card, but about half of it was missing and had been recreated.  The $310 it went for is probably about right, but was higher than I was willing to go for something so heavily recreated.

Bruce had a lot of good cards last night.  I thought there would be bargains because of it, but everything seemed to go for around market.  Didn't end up getting anything.

Reminds me of that Thunderball quad that had had the credits and all surrounding text cut away from the image of Bond and girls.

After linen backing, all titling and credits was painted on to, presumably, several pieces of sewn together archival paper.  Which begs the question, when does restoration become complete creation?

And while I am performing miracles with rhetorical questions, when does grave robbing become archaeology?

Oh I see CSM left VMPF at the same time as here. Still on Ari's forum though.... I'll try to connect the dots...

The way I see it, people come and go, that's what a forum is all about.  Sometimes people stop collecting, and they move on to greener pastures.  Heck, one of APF's co-owner doesn't even check the forum anymore.  Such is life.  It's like this movie star who is part of your life for years and years, you don't miss a single movie of his, and then he stops making movies and 10 years later you realize that he's gone and wonder what happened to him.  We all feel like we know each other, but really, we don't and it's easy to forget that people have lives outside of posters.  At least some do.

just to clear things up, Chris is busy with life, he occasionally posts at my place, as its slow and simple over there.
Far as I know its nothing more. Just sometimes life gets in the way of pretty bits of paper (and talking about them).

the others I dont know, possibly something similar.

(usually when theres more to it, people announce "leaving' and stick around to have a few more words about why they wont post anymore.
and before long they are back again, like they never left.)

I'm not so sure about what you're seeing.
the poster sold on ebay UK on the 14th and at Ewbanks on the 16th?

I can't believe that was 2 days apart, but I can believe someone took the pic from Ewbanks site & cheated someone on ebay

I have been keeping an eye on the them.
The 4' by 6' seem to go for a little more than the 5' by 7' banners.
Both Rey styles are big bucks. So is the Solo in general.
The Leia, Finn and Ren can be had a little cheaper.
The Finn seems to be the lowest priced one, but that may be because there are more floating around out there. I don't know.

Why are these going for that kind of $$?

Is it purely the SW mania that is still going strong and keeping the numbers high like this?

Post by: eatbrie on March 15, 2016, 01:26:45 AM
The two Rey bus shelters are nice.  I got them early on for $250 each or about.  Then I bought the Finn for $80.  I thought about buying Solo and Leia, but their aging faces kinda freak me out.  Fisher looks like shit.  This is not how I want to remember her.  And Kylo I don't care for.

The French set is also nice.  I got Rey, BB and Finn.  Here are the first 2.

Post by: jayn_j on March 21, 2016, 03:22:57 PM
OK, so this has happened a couple of times.

It gets near the end, so I lay down a few bids on some posters I want, and on a whim, place a minimal bid on some piece of junk that sorta matches what I want.  Its an OK add-on, but not something I would seek out.

You guessed it.  I get outbid at the last minute on all the good stuff, but win the junk one at the opening bid.  So there I sit with a cheap poster and shipping costs that exceed the price.

What do you do?  Suck it up?  You bid, you won, you owe.  Write to the auction company and send them the winning bid price, but tell them not to bother to ship the turkey?  Something else?

Bruce allows you to let small dollar wins sit in shipping and wait to combine shipping.  Nice touch, but in general?

I do better than that. I let anyone cancel wins if they are under the cost of U.S. shipping (the total of their purchases). It costs me a bundle at the end of each year, but I put the posters on all our walls, and visitors are REALLY impressed with our insane wall art, and I get good will with the bidders, so I got that going for me.

Yes, that's the question.  I feel obligated to pay for the poster.  I bid, I won.  Until now, I have been also paying for the shipping and getting the poster delivered.  I think I need to be smarter in these situations.  If a poster sells for $10 and I have to pay $15 in shipping, I have to ask if it is a $25 poster or a $10 write-off.

As I mentioned in another topic, the sales results for the one sheets for Knight of Cups (2015) are some of the highest for a new release.

These are the only ones that have recently sold on eBay, that appear to be original DS US one sheets:

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/knighto_zpsbmu9z7vl.jpg) (http://s766.photobucket.com/user/NeoLoco80/media/Posters/knighto_zpsbmu9z7vl.jpg.html)

If you look at the recent sales on the bay (link below), highqposter  (http://www.ebay.com/usr/highqposter?_trksid=p2047675.l2559)of Thailand sold one double-sided, allegedly original one sheet, and now has two more listed.  According to the description, they're 27.5"x39.5".  It seems like if someone wanted to capitalize on high quality one sheet reprints for a newer film, this would be a prime target.  So what do y'all think.  Originals, or potentially double-sided repros?

Also, does Thailand use posters that are the same or similar to US posters, with English text, etc.?

^ Great post, thank you Brandon.  In an obscure way I find the Modern Posters trade very appealing, I mean, when you think about it ANY of these could be the classics in 50 / 60 years time too... This poster certainly has it all (director, cast and look)
 

Hope you can find your copy.

I agree, that some of these could be classics in the future.  Although even a very limited release like this likely had hundreds, very possibly more than 1,000 printed, and will likely not have the "ultra-rare/cool" factor, in the same way of many of the current classics, especially those from times like the golden age of Hollywood, the silent era, etc.  

It's cool that the folks who are buying modern posters are the folks who are preserving this stuff for the future, in the same way those who acquire the vintage material.

I actually think it's nice to not be so rushed.  

Her description for Gilda, the "silver screen gaaawwwdddesssss..." is classic.  8)

The Gilda one sheet sold for $40,000.  Is that about the average?

I agree, Brandon. Mad rushing isnt good either. But when they LAAAAG and delay when the potential high bid has been put in, that can get a bit annoying. If you snooze, you should lose out.

Grey must have told her to step it up. She got thru all of about 65 items in the first 1.5 hours.

What else is there?

I got my #1 interest in the auction (the Big Sleep promo for Royal Crown)

I wanted to try for the double indemnity cards, but I have a few already and it just would have been a nice set. they come around often enough

there are some other items. I lost out of the Fools For Luck tc as underbidder. I might get something else.

still a major collector.. can't get enough

if the current bid is over a certain price and you have bid before (or maybe not?) let's say the bid is at 1000 and the next increment is 1100
you can bid 1050, but you can only do it one time per lot and the next bidder, rather than going up another 100 bucks only needs to complete the bid to 1100

you know what, a made a post-auction buy (until the process it, I don't 'have' it) and I was very surprised I could get [this item] for a low price.
but that is the nature of auctions, depending on the venue, from 1% to 5/10% sells above value, another 10-20% sells for value, the rest sells below value - which is why everyone likes auctions. As a seller, you are exposed to the vagaries of the market on a particular day, which is different than running a retail business.

I guess I was more going on the Universal horror element here, which usually seems to do pretty well, regardless of venue. But, as you said, it's the luck of the draw, the day, those watching and bidding or not that always makes each auction unique.

I know prices fluctuate but is that Gilda one sheet really valued in the high 20000 range?

I'm sure I saw one available about seven years ago for around $1200 (original release)

Has the value really increased that much?

This auction so far has been a wash out for me, I wanted three things first day, two just went stupid and was the under bidder on another. There's Always another day in the poster collecting world.

Hope everyone gets what they want.

Bruce sold a Gilda 6 years ago for $25K.  I haven't heard of a copy selling for less than 15K in at least 15 years - at least of the style B. You can find the style A for $1200 if you are lucky (or the R50 one-sheet).

The Japanese Ghost of Frankenstein is a great deal at current price. I was considering buying it to send it back to Japan to auction.

Rich, it would be interesting to know which other scene card was used as the backing on the one restored card of yours. Are you able to tell at all what the imagery is? Very cool, in a way, and now a bit of a mystery to ID that card, if it can't be made out at all.  sherlockholmes.gif

So, in a sense, you got 3 cards for the price of 2!  thumbsup.gif

As a side observation, it was great to see the varied selection of Chaney cards that was offered from a number of his flickers.  bed1

This autographed still just sold for 191.20

It is accompanied with a Cert of Authenticity, from the Original seller, dated 2002, that says should the signature ever be shown to not be genuine, that a full refund would be given, at any time. It's good to see that there are no time restrictions, should further research by any new owner show that the signature was not the real deal and was added later.

Bruce sold a Gilda 6 years ago for $25K.  I haven't heard of a copy selling for less than 15K in at least 15 years - at least of the style B. You can find the style A for $1200 if you are lucky (or the R50 one-sheet).

The Japanese Ghost of Frankenstein is a great deal at current price. I was considering buying it to send it back to Japan to auction.

$167,300.00 (inc the BP)

Considering the work that was done to it, too:

"The poster has had significant restoration to address missing paper in the upper right side of the image.

Almost all of the Cagney image was completely intact other than a chip in his chin, as well as all of the art deco artwork in the upper left of the poster and all of the lower credits other than a hole in the "E" of the title. About half of the art deco artwork below the two portraits and a portion of Harlow's image remained intact. Much of the Warner Brothers logo as well as the lithographer's logo and even the writing in the lower right border were intact.

The missing area includes a large portion of the upper right corner extending into Harlow's image and reaching down into the large field below the art deco images below the portraits."

What is more full bleed about this Casino Royale poster than any other modern poster of its ilk?

And maybe, although I doubt it, that could explain the stupidly high price it went for...

Cobblers.

2006, all posters were already full bleed.  Specific to Bond posters, they had been full bleed since 1995.

The above links to a poster from 1999.  No mention of Full bleed.  Indeed the only reason for bringing this up is because it is the first time (in my area of interest) that I have seen this terminology used to advertise a modern poster.  It would be like advertising, "And it's also 27x41!!'

knowing artists the way I do, the likelihood is that until he was approached to maybe get some real money for it, it was sitting in a closet or on a shelf or stacked against the wall with dozens of other paintings (when you have numerous canvases, laying against each other resting against a wall, we call that a stack of paintings)

Interesting.  Definitely some spirited bidding there. 

Does Mr. Zombie have some other original pieces like that?  I recall a rockstar or elite collector thread about him, Mr. Hammett, etc.

On a side note, I remember when the first White Zombie CD was released in the early 90s.  I actually still have the copy I picked up then.  Good times.  Seems like he's still doing well, as he has a new film scheduled to be released soon.

I happened to see this earlier.  Great shot.

If you look at some "fine art" type auctions that have similar works, this result does not seem so high.

I've been getting into photography a little bit, and have checked out some current auctions, and past results.  There are some remarkable sales for stuff like this (limited edition, famous photographer and/or subject, etc.)

And, as a side note -- cool that you are getting into photography a bit and delving into past sales and auctions. You will be speaking and replying from learned experience, as photos can often sell for very high sums.

Good for you, Brandon.  cool1

winning bidders' IDs arent known or revealed on HA,

on what site do you actually KNOW who the bidders are - aside from friends or bidder's whose identities have been outed?

as far as I know, no site makes bidders use their real names and I'm not aware of any index of bidder id's to real names, unless there is some such index I'm not aware of.

so who is ca328123?

None reveal actual names.. I was more meaning that some auction sites show and make public the created user IDs while the auction is taking place-- not someone's actual name, unless they choose to use that as their ID.

well then, even when you see the bidder's user i.d., you don't know any more about the bidders than you do when you can't see them, right?

I happened to see this earlier.  Great shot.

If you look at some "fine art" type auctions that have similar works, this result does not seem so high.

I've been getting into photography a little bit, and have checked out some current auctions, and past results.  There are some remarkable sales for stuff like this (limited edition, famous photographer and/or subject, etc.)  

Thanks Brandon. I  have seen some  exquisite photography and I  do regard it as art. No doubt this one Searchers captures the spirit  of the film to perfection. Ethan alone...

I would love to see yours one day. Hope you will be sharing your photos soon. Thank you! :)

Right... my whole point in asking was when zac mentioned the first name of the winner (Rob) of the Halloween art piece. I wondered how he knew that, and that's what made me ask and mention it.  ;)

I really like the design and color, too. And it sure went for a pretty penny.   thumbup

Its interesting, too, that as a first release poster, it has zero actor or production credits. Just the title.
(Is what looks like an SF symbol, on the lower left, a distributor or studio logo?)

Also by the same artist, this is a striking poster for Paid (1930), that did well, too. I really like the art deco font:

House of Frankenstein linen backed AU daybill--

Sold for $645.00 a few days ago.  'Tis a nice looking piece, even tho the imagery is mixed up, since it is from both Ghost of Frankenstein (the C/U of Chaney, Jr as the Monster) & Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman (Lugosi's double carrying the damsel)

I know what you mean. I did a sort by price after it was all said and done and had to do a double and then triple take on it.

Personally I don't collect things like this so can only assume it is something extremely rare. Without the two man bidding war though it would have only run up to $255. Any serious toy collectors out there know more?

That's what can make this or any auction both fun and interesting to watch - once the war has begun. And with extended bidding, the sky's the limit (or the empty wallet).

True, but considering he's a drunk in the movie it seems more representative than the US 1-sheet, which always reminded me more of a romance novel cover or perhaps the inspiration for the 60s Gone with the Wind art!

This Metropolis item came and went on the bay, a little while ago, with no takers (the opening bid was $1600.00).

A very cool and colorfully designed slide and it looks like it was produced and used in the UK. I bet projected on the big screen, it looked/looks incredible.  bed1

Glad you like our 'truth wall'  :)

We fixed up an old Victorian house from 1912, but worked in some more modern elements. What you are seeing is the back side of one of our six fireplaces.  No one doing a Victorian remodel would ever dream of leaving something like that visible, but we are also downtown loft lovers too! I just wish the finished brick ran the full length of the wall so we could have left more visible.

Six fireplaces?  Wow.  I reckon them folks back in the old days didn't have fancy heaters.  

A few years ago, I stayed in a hotel that is about the age of your home, and the room I was in has a similar concept, but it's definitely not something you see every day.

To be fair, they are (6) coal fireplaces that are all sealed up and non-functioning -- beautiful tile work tho.  What I wouldn't give for one good size wood fireplace in this big old house!

Cobblers.

2006, all posters were already full bleed.  Specific to Bond posters, they had been full bleed since 1995.

https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/movie-posters/james-bond/the-world-is-not-enough-mgm-1999-poster-52-x-74-special-advance-style/a/7125-86932.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013

The above links to a poster from 1999.  No mention of Full bleed.  Indeed the only reason for bringing this up is because it is the first time (in my area of interest) that I have seen this terminology used to advertise a modern poster.  It would be like advertising, "And it's also 27x41!!'

Another one from HA.

Casino Royale (Columbia, 1967). Australian Post-War Daybill (13" X 30"). James Bond.

http://movieposters.ha.com/itm/casino-royale-columbia-1967-australian-post-war-daybill-13-x-30-james-bond/p/161618-11001.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

A Casino Royale '67 Daybill which also lists it as post war!

Bearing in mind we are to assume it is the 2nd World War they refer to, and that this finished in '45, what is the point of mentioning that the '67 poster is post war??  As an exercise in redundancy, it comes second only to mentioning that this poster comes printed on paper.

Unless I am missing something??

It's a nice image. Love the teaser style.

Who knows how many there are. Maybe loads maybe not. Could be lots sitting in collections never to be seen.

I don't think it's a bad price. Although Mirosae, £65 would have been a steal. Think four have been sold on eBay recently one at £100, this one, £150 and £220. The last one was on linen.

If this one is only printed for the screening at the theater and no later reprint, I would think there are only a handful. Is there any information about how long the screening was, how many theaters carried these posters, and how soon these posters were sold out?
Since there was another design for the screening, I would assume the other design was also only printed a handful. Correct? Sorry for stealing the pictures from Bruce  :P

My personal opinion on this poster, take it or leave it:

This has been selling for big bucks lately.  I would not surprised if those dollar signs spawned reprints.  The one in this auction appears a bit too glossy to me, but it could just be a trick of the lighting in the photo.  Additionally, it is missing the silver Toho licensing sticker that came on it (bottom left).  That isn't to say that it is not authentic, just that extra consideration is warranted.  2 of the examples Bruce has sold lack the sticker as well.  People got them and immediately pulled it off without regard for future implications.  However, going forward IF you are going to buy one of these from a source you do not know and trust, you would do well to make sure that sticker is present before shelling out a lot of cash.  If you trust the seller, then no big deal.

This has been selling for big bucks lately.  I would not surprised if those dollar signs spawned reprints.  The one in this auction appears a bit too glossy to me, but it could just be a trick of the lighting in the photo.  Additionally, it is missing the silver Toho licensing sticker that came on it (bottom left).  That isn't to say that it is not authentic, just that extra consideration is warranted.  2 of the examples Bruce has sold lack the sticker as well.  People got them and immediately pulled it off without regard for future implications.  However, going forward IF you are going to buy one of these from a source you do not know and trust, you would do well to make sure that sticker is present before shelling out a lot of cash.  If you trust the seller, then no big deal.

Both versions of the last ones Bruce sold were from me and it is indeed 100% guaranteed original, correct paper, gloss as viewed in person, etc. I have owned a fare number of these over the years and most do not have the sticker. Actually I can only think of one that had it that I have owned and am not 100% sure it was not placed there after removing it from another poster to make it look authentic even though it was.

As to where the poster is from and how many are out there for each that is a subject for debate. You have of course the common story and then the research I did which is also supported by many of the other major researchers as well which contradicts it. I did a lot of asking around on this poster when I was researching and writing back in the early 90’s and at that time I had always heard the same info. From what I understand the poster was not actually given out or sold at theaters but was instead produced to promote the Yamakatsu Lamy trading card line. The posters including the other version I sent in were actually sent to the dealers of the cards for advertising which having owned a comic book store in the past makes sense to me. That would also explain a little better why they are so hard to find these days. If it was created for theaters as a give out or sale item like the programs, etc. I have a feeling that it would have been printed in large enough amounts that they would be easier to find but that again is just opinion. This info is purely from dealers in Japan that I spoke to back then when the poster was already about 10 years old. I actually did not hear the theater theory on it until several years after that. I cannot since I never spoke with the printer, etc. say which is truly correct, perhaps both are and it was used for advertising and some were sold in theaters.

I probably will never know whether this particular one is authentic or not since I forgot to put a bid on it. But thank you both so much, Schan and Mike. I really appreciate that I can always learn something  from your expertise.

Interesting.......I have had two, and both had the sticker.  Both had a faint impression of the sticker visible on the reverse, and looked like they had been there from day one (like a price tag that has been on something for 30 years).  Another I passed on (did not like the asking price) also had the sticker.  I guess, though, that it is not inconceivable that someone has printed up some fake stickers or has removed a few from less desirable copies.

Anyone who has been following still prices for a while knows that they are one of the hottest areas of the market for a few years now - especially if you attach names like Hurrell, Sinclair-Bull, or Abbe to them. Profiles has been especially strong in them where prices average in the mid-four figures and it's not unusual for stellar examples to bring five figures.

Definitely a case of rising tides lifting all boats, and one area of the market where (finally!) classic images and titles dominate sci-fi/horror (though of course they do well also).

Amazing result for a poster described as a commercial reproduction created and meant to be sold directly to the public. The updated, 1995 NSS# was a nice touch, too. I wonder what these were sold for, when new, to those that attended the screening back then.

And considering what an original HS goes for, I guess it all balances out in the wash.

The winning bid was $411.00

I own one of these, and was the one that sent Bruce the added info.  This poster has an interesting history.  Back in 1995, members of MOPO got together and decided to create a special repro of an iconic poster.  The FB half sheet was chosen because it was iconic and also science fiction themed.  The half sheet because it would be on heavier stock and easier to handle.  The group agreed that only 100 would be printed, and that 100 immediately sold out.  They went to the trouble of contacting the remanants of the NSS and managed to get a number assigned  (9503-56)  They then arranged a special arthouse showing in NYC and placed a copy of the poster in the lobby, thus making it an actually re-release poster.

Sewems to me that this poster is as legitimate as an Alamo Drafthouse.  Certainly rarer.  The printing process was very carefully monitored, so the quality is also as good or better than anything made.  Thus the price is certainly not out of line.  Oh, you asked what it originally sold for.  We paid $100 plus postage and handling of $10.

I posted a thread on this poster here several years ago, but didn't bother to dig it up for this response.

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA160526/550/in_99_and_44_and_100_dead_BM06678_T.jpg)

I own the 1 sheet and was going to bid on this, but life got in the way and I never got a bid placed.

A lot of members seem to place value on poster art.  IMO, this one is unique and very much in the flavor of Lichtenstein or Worhol.  BTW, I agree that the movie is mediocre at best, but the poster deservers better in my mind.

Edit: I went and looked at auction history.  This generally goes for around $50, so somebody got a bargain this week.

Quite amazed really.

Was aware from Adam's site that one of these Calendar posters existed for Spy.  And I think mention was made of one for Moonraker.

But never knew one existed for Golden Gun.  I was going to pop this up when it arrived and to ask after its heritage, and raison d'etre.  The calendar dates are for 1975.  The film was released in 1974.  Was the film's release staggered around the country 'from' 1974 to whenever in 1975?

Good question - much like the Star Wars posters where there was a special showing at a select number of theatres.  Of which only seven (I think) posters were produced; one for each cinema.  And the name of the cinema was printed on the poster.

Indeed, I asked that question.  At $20k a pop, does one collect the other six to cover off the cinema names....?

As for this poster, the white on red number is only a snipe.  There are three or so snipes under it.  So I think I am done.

But there are different types of completists.  You are describing someone who must have every piece of paper from a particular film. I would also consider someone a completist if they had to have a piece of paper from every film in a genre.  For example, Rich's gambling and Chandler collections, Rosa's Bogart obsession, or my own classic musicals collection.

I looked at the results of EMP tonight and saw that this 1991 commercial poster of Scarlett O'Hara, from GWTW, sold for $365.00!

The fine print looks to read: " ®1991 Turner Entertainment Co. All rights reserved. Gone With the Wind™ and Scarlett™ are trademarks of Turner Entertainment Co and The Stephens Mitchell Trusts"

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA160609/550/commercial_gone_with_the_wind_SD05850_T.jpg)

In looking at the image, it looked familiar to me, and then I remembered where I had seen it before. The actual, original, life size painting was created as a prop piece for the film, and hung in Rhett Butler's bedroom, in the Atlanta mansion.

The original was painted by a woman named Helen Carlton.

http://atlantahistorycenter.tumblr.com/post/34670222926/portrait-of-scarlett

Here is the original painting today:

(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q719/spitfire3992/painting_zpszv3wh8u9.jpg)


And as seen in the movie. The painting needed a bit of repair after Gable damaged it when throwing his whiskey glass at it:

That reprint is absolutely awful.  The yellow sky when it should be blueish white, the blue dress that's not even blue, everything is off, and the title at the bottom.  So cheesy.  I can't believe anyone would spend more than $1 on it.

Post by: erik1925 on June 17, 2016, 12:43:55 AM
I did a quick look around to find the GWTW commercial poster and didnt find anything. I wonder if it was offered thru Turner (the network) directly, or if it was available in stores that carried other commercial movie posters of this type? I was curious what a regular copy sold for, either now, or back when it was new and first sold.

I agree... that figure is quite the price to pay for a poster of this kind, printer's test, or otherwise.  faint2.gif

And I wonder how many that bid on it actually knew it was a repro of the painting from the film? This wasn't mentioned in the description, so it would be by recognition only. Maybe that factoid would have driven the final price higher?

Hard to know.

A printers test of a repo can't see how that is worth anything at all. Well done to the seller. EMP should not be selling half repos with half true originals they should be sold on different days. Newer collectors could easily may an error and it just doesn't look good at all
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: erik1925 on June 17, 2016, 12:41:28 PM
Based on EMP's description, they didnt know where the original image came from either, and probably thought it was created in 1991 specifically as the design for this commercial poster.  So I dont know if Id actually call that poster a repro, (as the definition is typically used in the hobby), as the original wasn't a poster but a life size (approx 5 x 7 foot tall) oil painting. Yes, it reproduces that art, but is not a reproduction poster that was made to fool or deceive anyone.

It's a commercial piece, similar to those kinds of posters one can buy at a museum, for example, where posters of great masters' works are offered for sale at the gift shop area. It was also described by EMP as just that - a commercial poster.

I bet when this poster was originally offered in 1991, it's appeal WAS that the original image was actually used in the movie, and described as such.

some noteworthy prices were $6000+ 28% bp for an online bidder at Invaluable = $7680 for 8 C-8/9 rolled ROTJ dated posters and one undated folded poster

$2750 +bp (I wasn't paying attention if it was an online or phone bidder) for a Star Wars 77/21-0 1sh
Preston Sturges annotated/corrected script for Sullivans Travels for $16k to a phone bidder

stills lots of 5000 pieces+ as noted in the catalog were actually 44 office boxes per lot (about 30,000 stills per lot, maybe 40,000)
we were all laughing about it
but their reasoning is that there were also many dupes, and they were describing the lot by guaranteed originals
all were bought by the same phone bidder for $35k-42500

some lots went high, some lots went fair.
yes I got some
none of yer business

A very cool and historical piece. I would love to know what the full poster looked like, as the top and bottom on this copy were both (slightly) trimmed at some point in its long life. (The bottom has partial writing that was cut off, and the top border pattern that goes around the advertising text and images, is abruptly missing at the top). But maybe what is missing is minimal.

This is one of those posters that (imo) would have been ideal to show the back, too, (as was discussed in another thread some months ago, when posters might have excessive tape or other flaws on the reverse), since its description reads:

"Someone once put a great deal of tape on the back of the poster, mending tears and covering paper loss."

It was the high winner on EMP tonight, closing at $1055.00

it's a cool poster, but this description is incorrect "Note that in the late 1800s, posters advertising stage plays were often "daybills", which resemble U.S. inserts in size"

these posters are called 'broadsides'

Yeah, we're moving to the beach in a month or so.  It's been a real pain because we're going to rent our current house and had to fix it up to get maximum rent, so now our current house is perfect, but we won't enjoy it since we're moving to another house that we'll have to fix up.  It's kind of ridiculous.

And the posters... well, that will actually be super easy.  I am such an organizer, or OCD, that everything is perfectly packed up and can just be moved as a block.

When I first started collecting, about 15 years ago, I had an opportunity to get 10-20 copies of each 1980 re-releases for $5-10 each.  That's 10-20 copies of Dr No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball and You Only Live Twice, if I'm not mistaken.  I remember I was working at Ambin at the time and i met the poster guy at the commissary outside in the courtyard.  I bought a lot of stuff from him, but I passed on the Bonds.  Probably a combination of re-release snootiness and lack of money. 

In one word, stupid.

Grief - always thought EMP did well for these 80's Bond posters, but that ebay would not fare so well.

Clearly, I am completely wrong.

I bought a whole set of these, Dr No thru Diamonds, a couple of years ago.  All mint and folded.  But that was still $400 for seven posters.

This US OS for The Forbidden Planet sold tonight on HA's Sunday night auction for $7,767.50

What crossed my mind was that this poster was in HA's weekly Sun nite auction, rather than in a Sig auction. Tho the poster's condition may have played a role in that decision.

Regardless, still a great, high winning bid for this poster.  clap clap

lightweight work

I have to go to L.A. and move to Vegas 1500 rolled poster box-tubes, 50 office boxes of folded, hundreds of loose-rolled posters and about 300 boarded one sheets
in all likelihood, I'll have to do this work almost all by myself - at both ends (because of course, moving stuff is one time your friends are always absent).

I assume the price on that is because of the misfits connection? I know Chamber of Chills 19 maintains very high prices even though it is not the best story or cover in the run because of its Misfits connection.

The radium cover is Black Cat Mystery not CoC.

Big $ for an ugly poster, imo...the Son of Franky much more pleasing to my eyes

Son of Franky is a great looking poster, i totally agree - the colors and imagery really pop! And more big $$ there, too, with it topping just over $43,000.00!!

Just shy of $1m for session 1.

As to William E Rea, he doesn't obviously pop up on a quick search the way Morris did.  Dunno.

Talk about multitasking.  I checked the HA catalog for the first time this morning, went through it while feeding my kids, then went on to play with them all morning.  This is me handing my phone to the train conductor as I'm trying to bid on stuff.

I had 14 items on my list.  I won 2.

To put this in perspective - not only is this a gorgeous stone-litho with the biggest image of Karloff as the monster from any of the Frankenstein one-sheets, this copy is the Latrobe copy which originally sold for $50K when it surfaced a dozen years ago. It was purchased then by Deluca who sold it right away and it changed hands at least twice prior to this sale.

One of them was mentioned on here by someone other than me. Hmm... Which one could it have been? (And how will i pay for it???? Yikes!)

Tomorrow I only have 1 that I have a bid on. (Please let me NOT win!)

Not much of a plot.  A 2 hour non stop chase.  Fast editing, 3 different angles per second (on average).

Entertaining, though, which is more than I can say about 99% of the movies I have seen this summer.

Thats the worst thing about those Bourne films, the fast editing.. I just shut off, it's so boring, I use the "action  sequences" to go for more Wine; And yet I like the films on the whole. Shame they spoil them in this way... Anyone know the editor?? go give him a good kicking if so.

one was a perfect scheme of split bid to achieve the price I wanted to pay. I was out at $1600, but my hopeful high bid was $1800 (+BP), so I had to figure out how to get to 1800 without having to be 1900

I had to think fast - split bid $1650.
the other bidder went $1700 and I went the $1800.. it worked! Yay!

another item was an insert I've needed for a long time. It had been selling for 2500-3500 at some point and I offered $1500 to a friend who had 3 a while back. (he of course turned me down)
I won it with an $1100 bid = $13xx.00. right in my range.
yay!

For my part, I didn't get on board with the cause and effect.  Bourne pops up 'on the grid', and all of a sudden, everyone has to kill him.  Really?  Why?  He might just have been going for the milk...  Really didn't make much sense and so left me behind a little.

And I wonder if the reason for this incoherence, this time, is that Tony Gilroy wasn't in charge of the writing.  The stories were so much more coherent when he was in charge.

But as you say, very entertaining.  I love the editing.  And the last chase was as brutal and carnage inducing as the last two chases from Greengrass.

I noticed that too.  New generations, maybe, not so much into the old stuff.  Like I said in another thread, people under 30 really do not care about older stuff.  They were raised into the moment and into the "what's next".  A movie is old after it's opening weekend.  People in their 40s (me :() grew up with a lot of past.  We didn't have that much of a choice, really.  Less movies, very little video games, no iphones, the list goes on.  Kids today have so much at their disposal, the past becomes obsolete.  They just don't have time for it.

Dog days of summer.  A few estate sale companies in my area go entirely dark at this time of the year, and then things pick up again later in August.  Our street is a ghost town right now, everyone is at the cottage, etc.  It's prime vacation time.  I made a few scores during the Guernsey's WW1 and WW2 auction on this very day last year, had the same auction taken place at any other time I'm doubt I would have been able to pick anything up. 

Probably Heritage wants to pre-empt EMP (and last year, Morrie's stuff) by having it now.  I think Bruce is smarter waiting until later in August.

My pickings this time around.

Two linenbacked posters!!!!!!  Never thought it would happen.  I've wanted them forever and decided i would not find them in near mint folded condition.  So I took the plunge.  They both seem in great LB condition and the price was too good, especially on the Postman, which usually sells for $3k + in this condition.

After I move, I'm actually thinking of maybe, maybe putting these 2 together on the wall.  They look identical in some ways.

The last 3 are collection fillers.  Methodically.  One piece at a time.

This Chaplin/Keaton US OS for The Bell Boy had an estimate of $3-6K.

That was a spectacular result and a one of a kind poster.......A lot of classic comedy pieces have been doing very well lately

This folded animal crackers window card went huge!!
$13,145

I thought this was an interesting result. It sold on Tues for $1424.00

The linen backed, US OS for the western, Red River (1948):

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA160809/550/red_river_linen_SD05999_T.jpg)

The poster art itself isnt overly eye-grabbing. But it is a Howard Hawks flicker, with John Wayne. The last linen backed copy EMP sold, in 2013, went for $1350.00 and several other backed copies, sold about 10 years ago in the $425-450.00 range.

This is the one poster that caught my eye in this auction.
Absolutely stunning.

Anyone else think the Kong poster didn't do as well as it should have?
I guess due the vast size it put people off.

I got distracted last night and didn't get a bid in on this one.  It went for a lot less than I expected, and I certainly would have bid a bunch higher.
It went for $970.  Last time out the same poster went for just under $3500.

It's too bad emovie doesn't have a smartphone app that would you remind you when an item you're atching is closing; something like eBay's. 

I often miss out on Bruce's auctions because I'm busy doing other things and then completely forget they're ending.

Wow... beautiful HS, for sure. And that's quite the drop in a realized price, for the very same piece, in just under 3 years. I wonder. Was the $3100.00 price paid back in 2013 considered high? Or is $970 closer to what a HS from this movie would normally go for?

But it might be hard to say, as material from Swing Time doesnt seem to show up all that often.

It's the only copy I know of, and it's only been sold twice.  Never seen it on HA.  David put up that Danish for $10k last week.  Swing Time is arguably Astaire and Rogers best work, although a case can be made for Top Hat as well.  But I have some Top Hat paper and nothing for Swing Time.  LeBummer, and I'm kicking myself for letting someone steal it.

I'm thinking the consignor (who was also the 2013 buyer, per the EMP description, & who shelled out the $3100.00 back then) wasn't too thrilled with this steal, either.  crying

the poster sold in 2011 Jeff, by Heritage for $2868
hard to argue that the venue didn't benefit the consignor in 2011

HA has sold the poster a few times, always for 1900+ or more

I think Heritage has sold 3 half sheets with only 1 of them being in decent condition....the Swing Time half sheet that just sold had a bit too much restoration for me...I remember the first time it sold for $3100 and thinking that was a lot.....But I was looking at it closely both times....I agree that Top Hat and Swing Time are the best Astaire/Rogers ...... and the half sheets for both films are really excellent examples of mid 1930's RKO paper IMHO...

I'm looking for a Title card which I think has nice representative artwork....I'm kind of kicking myself for selling 4 of the scene lobby cards that I got from Morrie.....but I still kept this one...Enjoy!!

quite jealous of that card.  I'd 'settle' in a heartbeat.

I've been concentrating on lobbies of classic musicals for a few years now.  Currently have about 1150 cards and about half are musicals. I like the lobbies for several reasons.  First, they tend to be less expensive for a given title.  Second, you can display a large number of titles in a small space.  You can even place them in albums.  Finally, they take me back to my childhood when we used to stand outside the theaters and get a feel for the feature that week from having the lobbies tell a story.

In the past, I have been a bit of a bottom feeder, but that means I have a fair number of titles nobody else wants.  Still doing that a bit, but lately I have been stepping up my game and going after the higher quality cards.  I expect that means we will likely see each other over a few auctions.

This is what happens when you don't do any research, check an auction on your iphone while it is happening, and do it all while driving a car loaded with boxes: you overpay :) 

It just happened to me today, but I'm okay with it because 1) I really wanted the item I won and 2) I was determined not to let the other asshole get it, especially since he was bidding within 30 seconds and upsetting me.  This is exactly why Bruce's auctions can be so dangerous.

Seems like those auctions of lobby card sets are getting more and more expensive, though.  I had to let at least 10 items go because they sold for way above what they are worth.  Good for Bruce.

This is the main reason why I make my best bid an hour before closing and then don't go check until the auction has closed.  That way emotion either over the poster, or over the other guy doesn't get me to do crazy things. It has forced me to actually think about what stuff is wor5h to me. If I think it is $100, then I bid that, even if the current bid is $1.

I also thought this auction had items going for way too much.  I lost 6 or 7, and a couple went for double my best bid. No matter as they will show up again, and probably go for less.  There was one card I have lost bidding on twice that I got last night for l3ss than half of my proxy bid. 

Win some, lose some, but I seldom have buyer's regret

I usually check Bruce's auctions the morning of and do a little pocking around, but I've been moving pretty much for the past month (with a week vacation in between), so posters have been the last thing on my mind.  Which is why I was so unprepared.  I'm usually pretty good at knowing when to stop, but I remembered his auction at 4:50 (they start at 5), got on my phone and started bidding.  But like I said, no regrets, what I got doesn't show up too often and I don't have to think about it anymore.  Next!

A couple of times now I've wanted to bid on a few things and completely forgot and checked the auction the next day and the price has been very reasonable.

Other times I've gone for items and they have tripled what I think they are worth in the last few hours.

Always seems to be the way!

Funny you should say that.  I own a couple and my greedy self was contemplating the same.  I had no price reference but I was thinking $2k would be fair, based on rarity and quality.  But then I was like - I'll never sell, why should I be stuck with three?  Someone got lucky.

most certainly more than the one venue and probably more on these than the other.

some auctions in really only get a 'best price ever' on something under 1% of their items sold, but Dave killed it across the board last night and he's got more ending tonight that is also poised to knock over some stones.

Post by: CineMasterpieces on September 19, 2016, 08:34:02 PM
thanks everyone :)

yes I am posterchild. I thought the username was funny.

Bruce is the no reserve auction king. I've actually sent him a bunch of stuff over the past few years and I'm very happy with his results. I've bought so many collections over the years that I would never have the time to list everything. Every year I auction at no reserve probably less than 1% of what he does. No Reserve Auctions have become a pain in the ass so I've been doing much less of them lately. 99% of my sales are fixed price items and about 70% of those are directly from cinemasterpieces.com, 20% from ebay, and about 10% on Amazon (those are rough estimates).

Sometimes my no reserve auctions do better than Bruce and Heritage, and sometimes they don't. But I definitely get much higher prices for the same items when I sell them at a fixed price.

I think ebay's audience of bidders is much larger than Bruce/Heritage's. Maybe that is why our auction results this time have been so good.

I also experimented with facebook advertising for the first time to promote the auctions. Maybe this helped, maybe it didn't. Impossible to say.

$186 for a planes trains and automobiles. I am not one to judge, but I think that must have some sentimental value to at least two people. Actually, it makes more sense that it became a pissing contest. BTW, "bespoils your sister" is really haunting, well played Rich.

Just happened to see a couple "season appropriate" heavy hitters that were sold on ebay recently. This first one, auctioned by Profiles in History, on July 31st, was a Swedish OS for Frankenstein (1931).  bed1  It sold for $10,000.00 (only one bid and that looks to have been the opening bid):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Frankenstein-vintage-Swedish-1-sheet-poster-Lot-70-/112043671808?hash=item1a1652c100%3Ag%3A8toAAOSwhOVXdXJ%7E&nma=true&si=nQUC8WXsLD8M2ST%252FU6A1qHswj80%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/8toAAOSwhOVXdXJ~/s-l1600.jpg)



The other, sold by a Belgian seller, was for a copy of the beautiful, pre-war Belgian poster for Chaney's version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923).  bed1

This was sold on July 25th, and went for $7689.89 (and 12 bids). Such a great looking poster even tho all of the borders, including the top imprint area had been trimmed off. An easy fix, if wanted and the poster art itself looks vibrant and undamaged.

The artist of the B-sheet was Gustaf Tenggren, one of the inspirational giants who helped Walt Disney conceptualize the look of many of those early Disney classics.
There is a 30x40 that builds upon the B-sheet design and it looks like this:

Some of the newer Japanese posters were fetching relatively high results at eMovie tonight.

The Finding Vivian Maier B2 is the only copy I've seen, and possibly super-rare.  With 5 minutes left in the auction, I was the high bidder with a bid almost thrice the previous highest bid, then was outbid shortly after.

I decided to utilize the Google search engine and found a chirashi on eBay, and figured it would be a nice consolation after losing out on the B2.  Great self portrait of Ms. Maier, and the personal effects are kinda like an old school version of a new trend, where people lay out all the stuff they're packing for an adventure and take a photo.  Anyway, I think it's cool.

I was tracking it, (just out of interest, not with any intention of buying), and it was clear that it might be a "biggie" but not as big as it turned out to be.

No other still from that film on EMP has approached anywhere near that sum but then again none of the others were as striking as this one, so kind of surprised but not very.

EMP has this one in their archive. Though I cant make it out, the printers info on the EMP copy looks to be different and is also located in a different spot than the one Dominique offered. So maybe Besson's copy is a slightly later RR? The colors on the EMP copy really pop, too, whereas the other is much more muted.

Sean, are you surprised at all, that all these years later, this LC sold for about the same amount that you bought it for? I guess its condition issues were the likely factor, even with it being a more rare item? And do you recall if the borders had been airbrushed when you owned it? It isnt stated in the current description but with the repairs done to some of the corners, it could make sense that they were retouched, too.

Either home would have been a good landing spot for the RR Wolf Man military OS. It's great to see that it went to an APF member. Nice job, Mike (if the same undead, that is).  cheers

And Barbarella B at $600.  Even though it is linenbacked, someone got a super good deal there.  If it had been folded, I would have bought it again.

If it had been unbacked and mint, it would have gone for over a grand!

Those S2 horror recreations were fun to watch all week. I had no idea they were worth so much, being repros. Looks like one or two bidders got the majority of them.

They may be repros, but they are limited, and when you see them in person they look amazing.  For anyone wanting a Universal monster poster that doesn't have oil baron money then they are the next best thing.

And when you also consider that each is a stone litho produced on presses that are over 100 years old and the fact that the art on each poster was re-drawn by an artist who closely based it on the original (each S2 has slight variations when compared to the original OS art), they truly are beauties in their own right.

Agreed. My plan was to frame a few of them. I planned on bidding toward the end until they went way beyond what I thought they would.

it is indeed rare, but I think it's properly described as International
I have one that someone has been trying to get from me for some time, but I'm not interested, because it's freakin rare!


as to prices seeming low. It's a combination, areas with lessening interest, future economic considerations with the new president, maybe even some aggressive estimates. By comparison, silent era material did very well and that Italian Casablanca price is mind boggling. I can't imagine any other auction getting such a result.

no idea, but frequently, International styles are printed in smaller quantities than regular styles and they're of course, shipped all over the world & get a wider distribution factor. (meaning Instead of 20,000 posters distributed mostly to US cinemas and available in our geographic area, you have a smaller number spread out over the globe)

obviously it's the 'rolled part' and the fact that it was in better condition, but the other question - I think what's happening with that poster is that it's getting cred for being the boldest image for the series across all the theatrical posters for the USA

I think Rich may be correct on both counts here. As for the estimates, they are merely potential values based on our previous sales in most instances. Not really having at all to do with reserves as they are almost a nonexistent factor now. 90% or more of the auctions are no reserve.

There is some serious discussion of eliminating the estimates in our future auctions as we've found the buyers are pretty astute as to values and best to just print the opening bid.
What are your thoughts?


Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on November 20, 2016, 02:43:29 PM
I personally like the estimates.  And I'm used to them.  Sotheby's, Christie's, they all have them.  They help me categorize posters in my head even though I know they are only a tentative evaluation and can be completely off.  I always look at past sales before I bid, and that's the only evaluation I believe, the one I come up with.  But the catalog evaluations are a nice and helpful guideline.

Nice sale btw, Grey.  I didn't get a lot of what I wanted but I got a few I'm happy with.

Thanks for the feedback. I've always felt estimates are merely guidelines, but there are sources one can look to for past sales history on many items.
I am feeling a bit of pressure as many if not most of our other venues have stopped using estimates. I don't know whether it is just my being used to them and believe them valuable or perhaps just reticent to change.
The feedback helps!

I fail to see why they should stop using estimates. There is information there, even if it's only minor information (like what opening bid is for the most part, as well as historic price reference)

Except, except, except, it is not the original.  It is a restrike.  It was probably printed during the initial release, presumably due to the success of the film.  I think it can be called an original because it is the only copy you will find.  But it is a far cry from my original.

Check out the differences...  This is what makes collecting French posters so difficult.  If I didn't own the one I have, I would have bid on Besson's.

Thanks for the comparison, T. Your colors are much more vibrant, and in looking at the printer's info on the lower left border, there looks to be a difference in the wording, too. Do you think these were printed by 2 different printing companies?

Looking closer, the printer on your copy is named at the bottom center (Aussel). The Besson copy is missing that, but I cant make out the info on the left border of his.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on November 22, 2016, 04:00:52 PM
Yes, mine was printed by Aussel.  And it is not so much that the colors are different, Besson's copy doesn't have any colors.  Just red.  Check out the windows on the right.  But again, Besson's copy is the only one you will find, if you find it at all.  So the price is not crazy.

So interesting. It also looks like the Besson copy has a black ink smudge above Soubie's name as well as one just to the right of the T in Stewart. Maybe these toned down, more colorless copies were more quickly printed to get them out into the public ASAP?

In the USA, NSS has a number of regional offices, each of which might print their own stock of the posters from films supplied by the studios & main NSS offices in L.A. & NYC

were French posters done the same way? Or were all the posters for any particular release all printed by one printer for one office & distributed from one focal point?

A propos of very nearly nothing, and certainly not poster related...

I have two British campaign books for From Russia with Love.  1963

One printed by Delow and Co
The other printed by Rawlings and Walsh

The only difference between the two being manifested on the back page where there are a couple of type resettings and a page frame redesigned.

I only came across this as I Had to buy the second campaign book to get something else I was after in the same bundle.  I fully expected to sell on the duplicate.  Of course, in the end, I kept both.

Anyway, to illustrate precedents, different printers were used in the UK in nearly the same era.

Where does Besson find these posters? His listings are always incredible. Shame he doesn't provide proper listing info, but you buy what you see, so that's fair enough.

The size of the US would have made it very difficult (and expensive) to have all the posters printed on the West coast and distributed everywhere else, thus the use of many regional offices.  France is a little larger than CA and smaller than TX, so it's much easier to have one office print them all and distribute them.  But depending on prices and availability, French distributors would go from one printer to another.

Just as a side issue to the Rear Window auction, I noticed that the under bidder on $5000 has a zero feedback rating. What's this about? Must be a serious bidder/collector to be engaging at that level. Do some high end bidders open new ebay accounts to use on certain auctions as a way of disguising their usual ebay ID ?

It's just not something I have noticed occurring in the more run-of-the-mill auctions that bottom feeders like myself participate in.

And it could also be an actual first time bidder. Even those with deep pockets that are new to the bay have to start somewhere. And that would mean someone with zero feedback on their first auction. coffee

I do hope someone from this board bought this, and that they would have performed on it a full rescue.

And that they would share the After image.

It looks great.

I was watching this item on ebay. It closed yesterday, on Dec 5th. Did anyone else see it? It looks like someone took an image of the Frankenstein 6 sheet, shrunk it down and then distressed/aged the 11x16 inch paper to make it look like a vintage piece. There is no printer's info on the wide bottom border. And aside from the Morgan logo that is printed on the 6sh, nothing.

Yet is got 26 bids and sold for $1259.00  :o 

I think someone is gonna be a Very Unhappy camper.  crying

The seller attached this note at the bottom, which sort of comes across as the ultimate in a buyer doing his/her own due diligence, as the seller says he can find no information about this piece or what it really is. So it really protects him, seems like, from having to give a refund. Im surprised it went this high with disclaimer attached:

"Note: I have been asked many questions about this poster and unfortunately, no one has come forward with any information on it. In addition, I have not been able to find anything on it either. I've tried researching it and I cannot find a poster for this movie that is this size. So I don't know if it came out of a magazine or trade ad or what. I wish I had more information. I'm very sorry that I do not know more.  Thanks for your interest.

Sincerely, Mike-featurepresentationmoviegallery"

Wow.  The fact is the title clearly states "vintage original...very rare..."  The disclaimer that he has no idea what it is doesn't change that he has it listed as "original" etc.

A lot of tomfoolery in the world.

I forgot about that title description, Brandon... so yeah.. the seller could be on the hook, if the buyer challenges that 11x16 size item as being "rare and vintage."  The seller can't have it both ways. How does he know it's old and vintage if he says he cant even identify what it is?  hmmm.gif

Post by: Neo on December 06, 2016, 03:29:47 PM
Right.  In a sense, it's nice that he put the disclaimer on there, after being informed that it's probably not "original" etc.  The better course of action IMO would be to relist it with a more accurate title and description.  Hopefully he'll stand behind what he sells and will offer the buyer a full refund if he/she requests it.

We all know how the definition of certain words on ebay have been strained to beyond breaking point. "Rare" now might as well mean common; "vintage" can mean anywhere between a hundred years old to printed last week. "Original" is a word you would think you could invest more certainty into but you see it used to describe a lot of stills, for instance, which in the finer print say are original to the 70s and 80s for a film released in the 1930s.

Those old sayings always hold good: buyer beware, and if it seems too good to be true it usually is.

And aside from all of the descriptives, the size alone on this one should have raised some huge red flags, as it sounded like the seller got a handful of questions about it. I guess those that bid 26 times (inc the automatic bids) were hoping that this was something truly wonderful and rare.

And maybe it is rare, if only one was created and printed up. A true, one-of-a-kind.  ;D

I dropped the seller a note nicely explaining the probable origin of the image that was on the piece he sold. I just gave him info and didnt attack, as he might have picked this up in some shop or second hand store, and truly not be aware of what it was.

If he should reply back, I will share it here.

I got a reply from the seller of that Frankie piece this evening. Unless he's just blowing smoke, he sounded sincere and like he will do right by the winning bidder.  thumbsup.gif

Here's what he wrote to me:

"Hello,

Thanks so much for your input. I wasn't sure where it came from or if it was a magazine reproduction or what. The only thing I can think of is that it came out of an art magazine. For instance, some magazines have art on one side and nothing on the back. And it probably was one of those, taken from the poster you discussed and printed later. It maybe that it was printed from the late 90s or later, like when you said the original was bought, and just shown in the magazine and just looks older than it is.

But don't worry, I have had others come forward after the auction with similar information and I have forwarded that to the winner through email. It is not my intention to be dishonest and I have received some messages after the auction whereas some eBay members have been very rude about it and said I either bought a reproduction or that I copied it myself. But honestly, it was just in my uncle's old movie collection that I've been selling off. And since he is no longer with us, it is hard for me to know specifics sometimes on some of the items like this one.

So I thank you for being so kind in your message.

Sincerely, Mike"

Had my eye on the two Rita Hayworth S2 posters (Lady from Shanghai & Gilda). Final prices $250 and $284.

 Is that a fair price for the S2's?

Part of me really wanted them but the other part said $500+ for what are basically two recreations was too much. I know they are supposed to be great quality so maybe I've missed out!

Post by: martinc on December 14, 2016, 11:11:28 AM
I can see why someone might want to buy them - just to own an image from a great film, the original of which is completely out of reach (for most of us).

I remember when I first started going to film fairs, I bought repro posters of much lesser quality but for only a couple of pounds each (which makes a big difference). Eventually though, I found what attracted me most was owning original release paper which gave me some sort of connection to the time when the film was first shown. The S2's, however good they might be, just don't have that quality and I, personally, wouldn't buy them for that reason.

I never will get the price the S2 go for. It is a recreation/reproduction hybrid. At least with the print market you get new artwork.  High quality, expensive to create reprint in my book, but to each their own, what makes collecting interesting I guess.

I remember seeing high prices for stuff like No Country For Old Men, Black Swan, Girlfriend Experience, Drive, etc

Many of those went for $200 or more and can now be had for under $50.

"I always find bidders with low feedbacks are a second ID for the seller to push up the prices."

Yes, sometimes that is true.

Another thing that happens frequently is that jealous haters/dealers/collectors just like to mess with other peoples auctions. It happens to us on at least a few items every time we run our no reserve ebay auctions. Someone creates a new id, bids on several items, and then never pays for them. All of their contact info is phony. There are a lot of jackasses out there with too much time on their hands. All we can do is report them to ebay and eventually that bidder id gets deleted. However, if we report it to ebay and tell them who we think it is, and ebay can compare the ip address of the fake account to a real account and it matches, then both accounts will be suspended.


And as for bidding on your own items in an auction to drive up the price (shilling), ebay has strict rules against this and if they catch you the penalties are severe. They can track ip addresses and have other tricks and ways to see if you are breaking their rules.

I agree and think they are great posters but definitely not $300-$140 posters!. I had some bids going a few auctions back on EMP and got outbid by 'Galaxy2001', don't know who it is but was very willing to beat high bidders on some lesser titles often paying significantly more than previous highs. Good luck to them who ever they are and hope they enjoy the posters.

Amazing.  I usually can't bid on Heritage stuff because I'm out and about, but today the Packers/Cowboys game kept me inside.  I've been attempting to bid and got overbid on 7 items already (won 2).  People spend a lot of money on very random stuff, which is good for the hobby, I guess.

T

they sold 448 items today for $43k, 14 items did not sell, so they got an average of $100 per listing

$100 per listing average is an incredible number for any weekly auction and they only had 5 items over $400 up to $991

let us all know when you go there to examine the posters in person, so we know if you're right or wrong.

Its because a good number of their clients are not poster collectors, they are "collectible" collectors who happen to be bored and on the computer.  If HA had a Sunday night collectible harmonica auction, the guy who bought Trouble with Angels would have instead bought a harmonica last night.

Yes, very funny. This reminds me of the ebay seller who persuaded me to accept a Victorian policeman's truncheon (he had a small collection) in lieu of a film poster which I wanted to return because of condition issues.

The original Lamp Post version double sided LA LA LAND one sheets (without the awards/nominations text) are unbelievably tough to find in great condition. Unless a boatload are suddenly dumped on the open market, this will be a very valuable poster in the future.

The awards/nominations text makes it look like crap. You're right; the few in great condition on Ebay have jacked prices.

Let's see what happens if/when La La Land cleans up at the Academy Awards.

For me, with my intra niche search, these auctions pop up as a result of an occasional search on Saleroom and Invaluable.

But for future reference, it seems Astons are going for a thrice yearly poster auction along the lines of Ewbanks.

Thanks for posting that link, an interesting article. Had to smile at the quote from his widow that a "friend" had offered £1000 for the whole collection before she decided to consign to auction instead - good decision!

And, yes, that "War Of The Worlds" is a beauty.

Speaking to someone about the Astons auction a great deal of the paper in this auction belonged to a chap who worked in the cinema for the RAF.

I'm not sure what years he worked there but more than likely these treasures were just stored somewhere and he was allowed to keep/take them.

Fabulous posters and I am absolutely gutted I was the under bidder on The Outlaw UK quad. One incredible poster.

Will we see another? I'm not so sure.

I completely missed (it was a work day---and even at 5 a.m. I was not coherent enough to remember the auction--or place any bids) Part 1 of eMovie's March Major auction. It looks like the things I was watching I would have probably been outbid on anyway. Did anyone pick up anything...and were there any surprises? ARGH! I could kick myself for not even trying...

It was all linenbacked stuff, so I passed.  I only buy linen if there is no other way to get what I want, but most of these could be found folded.

Although I now have a few linen posters, I'm still no fan of them (and can NOT figure out how to frame/hang the ones I do have). CHEERS!

The linen backed posters I have are just so stiff and have those linen sides. I just do NOT understand how to frame them without damaging the poster.

Post by: erik1925 on March 06, 2017, 01:27:42 PM
If you have that linen border, you either need to get a frame that is larger than 27x41 to accommodate the linen, or as some have done, trimmed the linen to the edge of the poster (i personally wouldn't do this).

Then frame as normal, with a sturdy, acid free backing board, UV plexi and frame style of choice.  thumbsup.gif

Heritage does this every single week. Plainly said, there is no competition for HA
few things they sell go higher anywhere else and they get prices for ordinary things that blow your mind.

They do so well, that every item I send them (and they have a dozen in the Sig auction) I send with >>no reserve<< because I am so certain they will do just fine with them.

Hats off to Grey, too, without a doubt.

It was more an observation of how there can be quite a range of realized prices for the same poster (and this being a video release OS is what caught me eye, too).

You're right, they're a pain in the ass to frame, a pain in the ass to store and you never really know what has been done to your poster.  Bruce has an amazing selection, as always, just not for me.  Like I said, it would really have to be a hard to get piece for me to take the fall.  Look what happened with my Laura.  I waited, and waited, and finally got a clean folded version.  There is no substitute.

if you look at their weekly results, they average about $100 per item every week.

compared to a weekly average of as low as $15 at other venues, I fail to see how anyone can claim they do better, for anyone.

linenbacked framing.. I don't have lots of linenbacked material (don't like it and I collect paper, not linen), but what I do have is either very rare or oversized
generally when I put them up, I just pin them to the wall, like the 2 French 47x63 for Orpheus or the other posters I have up

I've been sitting on an item for several months now.  I'd really like to frame and display, but it came backed with about a 3" linen border around the poster.  I am kind of stuck with analysis paralysis on how to proceed.  The way I see it, I could do a really oversized frame and matte down to 27x41.  I could also trim the linen to 1/2" past the edge of the poster and go with a 28x42 frame.  I think the linen would look OK unmatted if left narrow.  I just kind of hate to do something irreversible.

Anyone have any thoughts?

 Linenbacking is already permanent. I hate it when I get a poster with tons of extra linen around the edges. I usually just trim it down to about a half inch.

I like there to be about 1-1.5" border so that it can be easily pinned up.

I very much dislike posters that have been trimmed to the border and refuse to even consider them for my collection

I used mats for all my framed posters.

I know there are plenty of linen haters, but Mexican posters often need the stabilization of linen backing due to the paper being such crap.

Anyway, matting solves the issue of framing linen backed posters for me. I usually go with about a 2" wide mat, which is plenty to cover the excess linen. One could go with a narrower mat too and still have plenty of linen to protect the poster edges.

Yes, I know it is canvas and not actually linen  :)

The number is in:

$1652.00 spent on this poster with a question as to which release it is truly for. For the winning buyer's sake, here's hoping it isnt a possible 1950's (or later) RR.

I was sort of hoping there might be some word or further explanation from emp before this auction ended, but that never happened.  :-\

Learn to read before you post.

"Important Added Info: Note that this classic anti-Nazi movie could of course not play in Belgium in 1942 when it was first released. We do not know exactly when it was released in Belgium, but it was released in France in 1947, and it seems likely that it was released in Belgium at the same time or very soon after. But is this poster from that first release (likely in 1947)? This has been a mystery in the hobby for many years!"

The wording to the description was slightly altered, added to and changed. And THAT, imo, should not have been done, in the final day of an auction.

Unfortunately, I didnt cut and paste the entire paragraph, but as soon as I read what you "lifted" from the current auction page, Ted, it alerted me to that change. Read the portions I quoted on Monday and it's easy to spot the rewording. Why would that have been done?

In the revised description, emp is ASKING if this poster is from the first release in 1947 (even though the red title still claims it to be). Look here. What was originally stated in the original poster description was that this poster WAS (factually) from that first Belgian release in 1947:

http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,833.msg216992.html#msg216992

(the text below is from the above URL - from the Mid-Auction thread and post on Monday):

First, the description states:

"We do not know exactly when it was released in Belgium, but it was released in France in 1947, and it is extremely likely that it was released in Belgium at the same time or very soon after, and this poster is from that first Belgian release."

But then further down, it states:

"...it is the small size Belgian that we have only seen on Belgian posters from during and right after World War II, but it is possible that the movie was re-released in the early 1950s, and that they printed the posters from the exact same plates, which would account for the smaller size. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to its year of origin."

As it has now been rewritten:

"But because of the above uncertainty as to exactly when this poster is from, and whether it is from the first release, please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this uncertainty."



The entire description paragraph was quietly amended and reworked after this issue was brought up here on Monday. And yet nothing was said in response to the forum directly by anyone from emp.

And to rewrite/reword an item's description, once bids are already in place, doesnt seem right to me. But that's just me.

Post by: timelessmoviemagic on March 08, 2017, 07:00:08 AM
I agree that EMP shouldn't revise a description without acknowledging they have done so in larger text.

I'm sure Bruce is good enough to offer the winning bidder the chance to not go through with the purchase if he/she decides not to.

Sometimes I do feel there is a witch hunt against Bruce and EMP. Yes there is an error in the listing but errors are pretty far between from Bruce and his team.

They have done a damn fine job on their business model and for the hobby in general. And saved me and everyone a pretty packet by not having premiums and the information they do give is priceless.

Also can we refrain from having nasty comments aimed at people in this thread. People come here to discuss and have opinions I get that but when it's name calling, mentioning people's mothers and generally nasty stuff then it doesn't portray the forum in a good light.

This place can get pretty ugly at times and I can understand why people leave the place.

I'm also not sure how Bruce could do any more to explain the uncertainty... he already has a damn essay on the thing! 

I see zero acknowledgement of the uncertainty at Heritage and Christies.  Is pretending it doesn't exist a better approach?  Or are you guys claiming this poster should never be sold ever again because it can't be 100% authenticated to a specific date? 

I really don't understand the fuss.  Sure, it's a bit of a mystery and we'll likely never get a solid answer -- but there are lots of posters out there like that.  It's still a beautiful, highly desirable poster that's a minimum of 50+ years old and as of 3/7/17 the market values it at $1652, uncertainty and all.

Yes we bought this poster. Thank you to those who alerted us to the changes that were made to the listing. I don't like when changes are made midway through a listing. The way I see it though, in this case it doesn't really matter. Whether it is from 1947 or the 50's or even 60's (I don't think it is from the 60's). The bottom line is that it is a rare and beautiful poster that isn't sold too often and we will describe it as best we can when we re sell it.

One of the good things about ebay auctions is that ebay does not let the seller modify an auction once a bid has been placed.

The above LC shows how important condition is, too.

Almost eight years ago, HA sold another copy of this card, (but it hadn't darkened as much and didn't have chipped corners), in their Signature Auction in July of 2009.

And it sold (with the added BP) for $1912.00

Jaws poster finished last night on eBay at £112.11. Apparently printed for the Cameo cinema in Edinburgh. Seller said it was full sized quad and he was told only two printed but was unable to verify. Really like the art on this one. Does anyone know anything about it?

Not really sure what to make of that. It's a great image no doubt. I guess it's unique and at £112 not really that expensive. I'd rather spend another £150 and pick up the original quad to be fair.

It reminds me of a little story, not far from where I live is one of the smallest cinemas in the UK, one day whilst in the area I thought I'd take a little look at the cinema, unfortunately it was closed. In the lobby however, I could just make out a Daleks Invasion quad, whoa I had to enquire about that!

So on getting home I called up the cinema and was told that the next time I was there I could have it!!
So when I went to pick it up I discovered that it wasn't an original quad, it was one that the cinema had quickly knocked up using an image of the daleks and then added the cinema name on the top.

That was unique as there was only one copy but worth zilch.

Yeah, in my experience, once them older posters start to turn brown, they will only get worse, unless they're restored (deacidified and linen/gel backed).  They'll probably never be minty white again, unless they're bleached, which of course bleaches all the colors, also.

It appears that the copy eMovie just auctioned is the same one Heritage sold March 28, 2015.

Sure does, Brandon. Looks the same for sure. Those edge chips are like fingerprints. I bet some gentle bleaching could get rid of some of that overall brown. We need to ask Dan Miles what he would do as his plan of restorative attack.

And Ouch.. did that consignor take a hit. An almost $800.00 loss from what was paid in 2015.  Doh.gif

But it's the risk of the auction game, as we all know.

I'm also not sure how Bruce could do any more to explain the uncertainty... he already has a damn essay on the thing! 

I see zero acknowledgement of the uncertainty at Heritage and Christies.  Is pretending it doesn't exist a better approach?  Or are you guys claiming this poster should never be sold ever again because it can't be 100% authenticated to a specific date? 

I really don't understand the fuss.  Sure, it's a bit of a mystery and we'll likely never get a solid answer -- but there are lots of posters out there like that.  It's still a beautiful, highly desirable poster that's a minimum of 50+ years old and as of 3/7/17 the market values it at $1652, uncertainty and all.

Look, it's really very simple. if you are not certain what an item is, you can't make any declarations about what it is.

If you find it necessary to sell it, there is a way - you advertise it as the lest that it is, not the best that it is
so if it could be a 1950s poster, you post it as a 1950s, not as an earlier poster because the earlier poster will sell for more money.

in that format, nobody can critique that you're selling something anomalous to get the highest value improperly.
If it sells low & turns out to be something better - then the buyer got lucky. But why would anyone want to burden the buyer with something that may be worth less money if it isn't what you described it as?

this is what's called 'the fairness doctrine'

as a note: if I ever advertise a poster as something it is not, or otherwise incorrectly, I endorse people pointing out that fact.
I endorse it. Please let me know and I don't care if it's pointed out in a thread or privately messaged.
I'll handle it in the same professional manner as I would handle any business issue

Yes we bought this poster. Thank you to those who alerted us to the changes that were made to the listing. I don't like when changes are made midway through a listing. The way I see it though, in this case it doesn't really matter. Whether it is from 1947 or the 50's or even 60's (I don't think it is from the 60's). The bottom line is that it is a rare and beautiful poster that isn't sold too often and we will describe it as best we can when we re sell it.

One of the good things about ebay auctions is that ebay does not let the seller modify an auction once a bid has been placed.

Dave

I cant imagine that anyone would like or even think it proper to change a listing description. And one small point of fact: the description was changed the day (or a handful of hours) before this auction ended, when questions were asked about some of the confusing, dual bits of info that was presented, and not midway thru the week long auction cycle.

Yes, you were the winner and a big congrats to you, as it is a truly beautiful image. But what if this had gone to someone who had placed a winning (proxy) bid days before, based on what was originally written about this poster. Only to read after the fact that a huge amount of that descriptive text had been re-written?

Would that person have been allowed to withdraw their winning bid if they wanted, and without repercussion? I would certainly hope so.

That is a good thing that ebay does (one of a few as you mentioned). That they lock that ability to change an auction item's description after a bid is placed is the right thing to do.

Is changing a description like this, during an auction, common practice? If so, it shouldnt be. It doesnt look or "smell good," imho. (And I'm not meaning small corrections like a typo).

I am definitely not rich but I've picked up a few nice pieces from the genre I collect and at good prices to.

Be patient and you'll find the posters you want at prices you can afford.

In 20 years, that Wolverine poster will be one of those "unicorns" and worth big bucks.  To the 20 somethings of today, when they hit their 40's, and have $$$, this is one they're gonna want because they grew up watching Wolverine and the X-Men on the big screen and that poster is simply gorgeous, signed by both the star and the artist, printed on special paper, with a special cut and extremely limited.  You see what that Harry Potter lenticular went for?  This will be in the same ballpark in 20 years, in my opinion.

And unlike a theatrical poster, the Wolverine piece is a limited edition, signed and numbered art print. So that also makes it a different critter, price/collectible-wise, too.

I don't disagree. I think it's a great poster too and wanted in on it. That's why I mentioned it. I just think that the timing of the auction was all too perfect for whoever the consigner was. And congrats to them. They nailed the timing and got a good price.
I just believe if it came up again in another 2 years, it would go for about half of what it did. Just my opinion though.

And yes I saw the Harry Potter too. I agree. Just give it time.

I would guess for the same reason that they wouldn't pay Harry Potter level dollars for a 2013 Wolverine/X-men comic book.  However, I'll bet that it was a 40-50 something that already grew up with Wolverine comic books that paid $780 for a 2013 poster.

Quite agree. A year or two ago I predicted that the Prisoner of Azkaban lenticular would be a $10,000 poster in 10 years time. It certainly seems to be heading in that direction.

There are 60 of the Wolverine (with the same art as the normal release with thousands printed), there are 6 of the potter. Never be in the same ballpark price wise or state for that matter.

I was going to make this remark, but I wasn't sure what the # was (I thought it was 10, but I wasn't certain)

well it is obviously the same photo, and would have to be an incorrectly filled template, most likely relating to a modern era title but where there was only skeletal data for the ebay sale to be entered into the current sales database. I can understand how errors of this nature occur and I'm sure they'll find the correct data, if available.

I went to that result and clicked on the date of 1/1/97.  The date seemed kind of suspicious.  There is an odd assortment of all sorts of poster formats folded, rolled, inserts, lobbies, etc, claimed to be sold on that date.  A majority don't have images.  None have condition noted.

You need to ask Bruce, but I think you found the Alan Smithee of his database.  Where he put stuff from the eBay period that couldn't be reconciled.

With that, I am not too confident of the bargain

'Tis an impressive result, indeed.

Heritage mentioned the poster in a brief article:

In only a few instances did the studio produce a teaser for their horror greats but when they did they were often outstanding as is this poster!

Perhaps one of the most impressive of all of the great Universal horror posters, we believe this would be a cornerstone in any advanced collection.

I had the opposite occur. My 1956 KING KONG re-release went for $687. It was up right after a 1942 re-release KONG with almost the same art (just different coloring), which went for $1434. The 1956 KONG was on linen (ugh!), but it did go for a few hundred less than i paid for mine. Oh well. However, the DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS that closes tomorrow is already over $1000, which is much more than i paid for mine. I guess it all evens out.

This Italian poster for It's A Wonderful Life did great today, too, settling in at $28,680.00 (inc the BP).  I love this flicker AND this poster.  bed1 thumbsup.gif

The poster is described as an Italian 4-fogli, that would measure approx 55x78 inches. But looking at this pic, the poster looks to be more square, with both the height and width appearing to be basically the same length but doesn't really look rectangular in shape.

Is it just the way this poster is printed that makes it look that way? When I first looked at the pic, I actually thought it was a 6 sheet.

It's a Wonderful Life (RKO, 1948). Italian 4 - Fogli (55" X 78") Averardo Ciriello Artwork

Is there any doubt that since Heritage got into posters 15 years ago now that they are the true Lion (or whatever) of the hobby?
Here's something - Heritage just today sold six posters for $50,000 or more. That is the exact same number of $50K+ posters Bruce has sold in the last 15 years combined.
Truly amazing.

Oops - I forgot Wizard of Oz - that's seven $50K+ posters today.

Hi Grey.. I noticed in the description for The Invisible Man, that there is mention of an included snipe that was attached to the poster (and is included with the auction). What was printed on the snipe? And where had it been attached on the poster?

This is truly a stunning poster! Congrats again, to you, HA and the consignor. clap clap clap

The snipe is shown in the catalog and online, it has a theater name and starting date for the film listed.
I believe this could have been the copy from the Heritage Christmas catalog of 5-6 years ago or so (originally Fishler's duplicate copy, then Schacter, and then sold in the bankruptcy auction), but would have to try and find it to double check.

Hello Sean, Jeff, et al,
The Invisible Man poster was a previously unknown copy to the hobby.
It came from a man who did not collect movie memorabilia who picked it up years ago.
This copy is in better condition than the one I sold in the Christmas catalog some years ago.
By the way, the snipe was attached in the lower portion of the poster.
No damage was incurred in removing.
As bright as the day it was printed, no doubt.

I was sorta impressed by the number of bids still coming from the room during the "cheap" session on Sunday afternoon.  Seemed to be about 2:1 floor vs internet.

there is only floor bidding on Saturday.
Sunday is an online only situation.

If you get the catalog, it states so on the front page & at the top of the page where Sunday auctions begin.

this is of course why all the very expensive items are on the first day, so the sale can be controlled minutely

You can still chuck in bids via the internet on the Saturday, can you not??

Yes ....there are 2 beautiful big red buttons .... In the right hand column (next to the pictured item) it will tell you which format  is actually winning....it will say Internet (which is a proxy)   Or mail or fax bid) or HA live bidder on Sunday....and Saturday will have floor or phone bidder as well....it's nice to see live status and some of the heavy hitter bids are by phone or mail/fax

The beauty of the HA live system is you never have to enter a value I.e. $550.....you can just incrementally bump up the bid price by hitting the red bid button...cut bids being available as well

But proxy is the safest....so you dont get too caught up in the moment...I won a few Buster Keaton lobby cards by proxy and was out scuba diving here on Maui during the live event....priorities!

I personally hate proxy bidding.  I like to see what's happening in real time, even if it means missing out on things.  I snipe on Ebay, but that's for meaningless crap.  With Emovie, I always bid within 5 minutes, and I always bid live at HA.  It's part of the fun.  It's not always easy, I cannot tell you how many times I bid on Bruce's auctions while jogging (or even driving :()  I was skiing when Heritage was happening, I had very little reception and missed out on a bunch of stuff.  I annoyed everyone who was skiing with me, but that's also part of the fun.

Btw, love Maui.  I was there a couple years ago.  I'm taking the whole family to Kauai (my favorite island) this summer for a couple of weeks.  Can't wait.

I hear ya....Live is so much more fun and its great to watch the bidding wars....I also snipe on ebay and place my bids with exactly 5 mins on Bruce's...no mystery as to why there....however after experimenting with proxy bidding (mostly when I am out adventuring during HA auctions) I found I won more and it was usually under my high bid...there are a few small advantages to placing your high bid 1st...

Maui and Kauai are both awesome...I moved to Maui in 2003 after spending a summer here...it was a really easy move....best decision I ever made....and I go to Kauai quite often for backpacking/hiking on the weekends...

We always stay around Hanalei.  We usually rent a house there.  I hate the south side, too touristy.  Last time we went, we rented a boat and visited the caves.  So beautiful.  I don't know if I could live there, I'm a big city boy from Paris to LA, but it's definitely one of my favorite places to be, after Phi Phi islands in Thailand.

Right on...Yeah the North Shore is so beautiful and Hanalei is such a great little town..renting a house is the way to do it....and it is just a stones throw from the Na Pali coast which is mesmerizing... I have now hiked it 4 times and counting...

The Phi Phi islands are awesome too...i usually stay on Rantee Beach on Koh Phi Phi....its a little rough but there are some new bungalows that are nice...I love Southeast Asia in General ...I did my Marine Naturalist dive course in koh tao in 2006...which is now grand central station  crying

My daughter is continuing to bug me to retire near her in LA. Thousand Oaks to be specific.  There is no way I could put up with that much humanity.  Heck, Milwaukee is too crowded for my tastes.  I like being in a small town setting, an hour or two away from culture.

Yeah, Thousand Oaks is not really my thing.  Super hot in the summer.  110 is the norm. 

But you're so right about the humanity.  I used to live in the center of things, Beverly Hills/West Hollywood, and recently moved to the beach.  I'm renting my old house and drive back from time to time to fix stuff and attend to my tenant needs.  I cannot believe I used to put up with this shit.  Every time I go, I feel on the verge of a heart attack.  Traffic is just out of hand.  The beach cities are the way to go.  It's so calm here.  I love it.

A propos of nothing, and certainly not a dig, I always have a problem with the above statement, as stated by many, that basically says, 'I don't like touristy places but am happy to make something previously un-touristy, more so, by my very being there (and maybe recommending to others)'.

Why was this ever thought of as an almost $700.00 poster? Or sellers just cashing in, at the right time? Curious, for sure. But it's like any poster, (or other collectible) I suppose. It's what a collector who wants it badly enough is willing to pay. A

I admit, I've always enjoyed, to a degree, the 1985 flick, Legend.

Composer Jerry Goldsmith's original score was rejected and replaced by a more electronica score by Tangerine Dream (bad move, imho). And the special FX and makeups were quite remarkable for that time.

I own a folded US OS and I think the art is pretty awesome, so I watch for whenever copies come up for auction.

I saw this one auctioned tonight and the description caught my eye. It reads as if there is a question about its validity. Is it a genuine US OS? Or is it a possible repro? And there is a final comment in the description that reads as if its up to the bidder to decide what it is, and not to bid if there is a question:

"Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that it is clearly different from the regular one-sheet, and that we don't know its origins."

I guess my thinking is this: Shouldn't any dealer/auctioneer know exactly what they have before it is offered for sale? Why would it ever be left to the bidder to determine what a poster (or any collectible) actually is? And if it is an unknown, wouldn't it be wiser to remove an item like this until it is thoroughly "sherlocked?"  sherlockholmes.gif 

This poster sold for only $28.00, but it might be worth zilch, if it's a repro. Or it might be the real deal. Who knows?

I think that knowledge of anything is an ever evolving thing and if the disclaimer is printed front and centre, then that would be fine.

Buyer Beware has its precedents elsewhere, so I would be fine with it.

Seems to me that Bruce was totally up front with his disclaimer.  He never represented it as anything but a mystery.  Bruce is in the business of selling posters, and his reputation lies in not misrepresenting stuff, not in holding onto a large stock of posters of unknown origin.  And if he holds it too long, the consigner gets upset (as we have seen)

There seem to be one or 2 of these every auction.  I think you picked on this one because it intrigued you.  If so, buy it for what it is, a nice image.  Or don't buy it if it isn't what you want it to be.

As I mentioned above, Jay, I already own a copy of this OS so whenever one (or any poster i own) pop up on the bay or auctions, i sometimes like to see how it's doing or did, sale-wise. Same with the Legend poster and yes, the description also did intrigue me. I never said there was anything hidden about the disclaimer; it was more that this poster is offered as an unknown (suggesting it could be a repro) and that folks should or should not bid, after making their own determination as to what they think it might be. 

My only point/question was that before something is offered for sale or auction, that the seller should know what that item is. And if it cant be determined at that point in time, just remove it from the auction until it becomes a "known."

I will never sell a poster or other collectible if I cannot describe it correctly
If I don't know what it is, I will never put it onto a collector to find out for themselves

it's MY job to know what I am selling, not my customer's job to try to find out.

Rich.  The item was NOT misrepresented.  Bruce clearly stated he didn't know the history or validity of the item.  It was basically offered "as is".  That is different than the poll you referenced where an item had been listed as an original and a question came up during the auction.  I agree with that.  But here the item was listed as unknown origin.

I purchased the following item several years ago from Bruce.  The description stated that he did not know much about the poster.  I did the research and gave it to Bruce AFTER the auction closed.  He has since included my research in subsequent listings.  I didn't want to give it to him during the auction as it may have caused the bidding to increase and I was the one who did the research.

(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA110602/550/special_grease_stage_JM02096_L.jpg)

I fully support not changing descriptions during the bidding and cancelling the item if something undisclosed pops up, but this simply isn't the case here.

You all are holding Bruce to an impossible standard IMO.

Here we go with this stupid crap. Again.

You and Rich with the "If I don't know what it is, I don't sell it!" I understand the point... but with a 25-dollar poster? Come on guys. Getting old.

Personally, I'm done buying from Rich until he stops this petty weekly shit with EMP. Looking back, I never see Bruce picking a fight with Rich, it's always the other way around.

And Erik1925, you instigate him every week with one of EMP's auctions that you highlight like it's some big scam. And then Rich responds to every one with his holier than thou philosophy. Lame as hell.

The travesty would be to lie, make up stuff and try to sell something for what it's not.  The fine folks at Emovie don''t know it all, they make mistakes like we all do.  Live with it.  As long as they say it, I don't see what the problem is.  They are being 100% honest.  It's up to the seller to decide, whether it's a $25 or $10,000 poster.

As far as I recall, Ive brought up 2 posters recently (and your "I instigate every week" comment is completely inaccurate, on both substance and time frame).

The other poster that caught my eye in a similar regard, and that I commented on, was almost a month ago, on March 7th (the Belgian Casablanca poster):

http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,237.msg217103.html#msg217103

And now the Legend OS.

That they both had been offered by the same venue is irrelevant; it just happened to be the case. Had each been offered by 2 different sellers, I still would have asked about them.

And why is asking questions or commenting (of this or any dealer/auctioneer) a bad thing? Questions and comments have been posed in many threads about HA, for example, and this has always been OK. People comment, they may agree or disagree on the topics brought up and that's the beauty of a forum like this.

I dont see any problem with asking questions..whether it be about HA, MPB, Cinemasterpieces, emp or even private sellers.

Here we go with this stupid crap. Again.

You and Rich with the "If I don't know what it is, I don't sell it!" I understand the point... but with a 25-dollar poster? Come on guys. Getting old.

Personally, I'm done buying from Rich until he stops this petty weekly shit with EMP. Looking back, I never see Bruce picking a fight with Rich, it's always the other way around.

And Erik1925, you instigate him every week with one of EMP's auctions that you highlight like it's some big scam. And then Rich responds to every one with his holier than thou philosophy. Lame as hell.

where am I picking any fights?
I fail to understand how anyone think I'm attacking anyone. These are issues that have been spoken about before by a variety of people.
I stated how I do business and I don't think anyone here can say I don't handle business the same way I explained.

I just think that you should know.
and by the way, I have these posters, they came from an unimpeachable source and are theatrical.

I'm going to make a point of discussing every ebay seller or Heritage if anyone cane post about exactly something they're doing wrong. I'm also happy to discuss any mistakes I may make in the description of any item I've sold or will be selling.

you're off base JC.

I completely disagree, Rich.  EVERY SINGLE TIME there is an opportunity to say something negative about Bruce, you're there.  I have stopped caring, Bruce decided he was done posting, so be it.  I don't know what your issue is, but for you to say that you're not attacking is laughable... C'mon, man, you know I like you, but please don't insult our intelligence.

I have not said one negative thing about anyone.
all I stated was MY WAY OF SELLING - that's a positive.
I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anyone elses and it's just as unfair to me for you to say I am.
I will agree, that what I say about how I do my business may show a contrast, but golly man, that's been going on here for years.
I think Bruce generally runs a very good auction, though occasionally, there could be an improvement in this or that area. I have never stated otherwise. Never
I'll say it again, he runs a good auction.
Heritage also runs a good auction. Make that 'great auction'
Peter also runs a fabulous auction
I wish I had help so I could run better auctions like when Anna was helping.
anyway.. I'll say it again.. Bruce runs a good auction. I never said he didn't, all I stated, was MY WAY of doing it.
although, maybe it was a little too self-promoting

I will never sell a poster or other collectible if I cannot describe it correctly
If I don't know what it is, I will never put it onto a collector to find out for themselves

it's MY job to know what I am selling, not my customer's job to try to find out.

Jeff is correct. Either you know, or your expertise & methods are questionable

So you post this literally right after erik's post highlighting the Legend poster, and you don't think this is a direct attack against Bruce's business practices?

Come on! That bolded line.

This is why I'm saying you guys are instigators.

If asking questions or presenting comments or observations about any seller, restorer, dealer, auctioneer, questionable "ebayer," shipper (such as the USPS or FedX) etc is considered "instigation," then I guess I'm guilty as charged.

JC, can you explain where my statement is false, as refers to anyone anywhere?
not to mention that I even showed a poll post where it seems that the majority of respondents agree with my own position?

you know I can point to an area where I am not selling stuff I have. because it is going to take longer for me to prep: Japanese posters

I have 600-800 of them, sitting on a shelf.
Japanese posters are not an area of my expertise. not at all. Personally I only have rudimentary information, probably because I never had 800 of them before and you learn by experience. But because my own experience is iffy, I have to wait until I can have the time & the time of a friend (can we say 'Sean') who can help me. This isn't one poster, this is 800 posters (or 600. not even been counted). I won't sell them until I can properly identify the release dates on every poster. It's called 'walking the walk' and it isn't a difficult thing to do. My money will be tied up in them until I feel I can reliably identify them.

my suggestion to anyone is that they should be able to identify their material properly.
Heritage does make an occasional mistake in this area, and when that happens (FYI), they remove the listing
this stuff isn't difficult, unless you make it difficult on yourself

In the 5 years or so i have been collecting posters one thing I've learned is that there are many known unknowns.

Just look at my posts from last week http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,8190.0.html   Its impossible to know 100% what something is. There is no periodic table for posters.  Best you can do is caveat emptor that shit, and offer a refund should new information come to light.  I think that fact that EMP offers a refund for life says a lot about their integrity.  People send them posters and "expect" they will pinpoint stuff from 30 years ago.  Its pretty fucking crazy to expect that, and this is coming from a guy with "crazy" in his name.

On the topic of Heritage, they once charged me an arm and a leg for shipping ONE poster.  I paid, only to realize they tossed in a 2 pound "collector's book" or some shit I didn't even ask for.  THAT, IMO, is not good business.  Their "5K minimum" consignment intake, is also, IMO, shit.

Now here I am having said shit three (four) times in a single post, which means its time for my nightcap.  Adios, fockers.

That sux, Vick. What book was this, exactly? Do you still have it? I never knew that HA included free, mystery give aways that were included with winning orders. A Collector's book of some kind sounds interesting. Are there good pics in it, too?

I'm assuming you wrote to HA to explain, question and complain about this whole issue? Did they refund you on this shipping overage or explain in any way?

Happy to answer this.
The "2lb book" is actually a 10 oz paperback book that retails for $11 via Amazon.
It's given free to all first-time buyers and anyone that fills out a survey and wants it.
Its called "The Collector's Handbook: Tax Planning, Strategy and Estate Advice from Collectors and Their Heirs."

In the 12 years we've been sending it to our clients, hundreds, if not thousands; I've never had anyone complain about receiving but have had a number of thanks for the helpful book.  :)

So for the record, its not useful. It has a lot of "duh, no kidding" information, along with some "OMG I have to consign with HA they are sooo awesome!" stuff.

Oh yeah, its also not free.  Because you pay shipping on it, in USD, its kills me as a canuck. Rather than having customers automatically "opt in" perhaps you should have them automatically "opt out", lest they agree to it. 

If HA was truly looking out for me, they would have sent me a FREE catalog of their upcoming auction, rather than some junk mail and making me pay for it.

Vick, you do realize this is probably not an item for knowledgeable collectors, but for the average Joe and no doubt, it's part of the promotional package that helped Grey find great posters for his auctions, like the previously unknown copies of the Frankenstein 3sh, the Frankie insert & the Invisible Man poster they just sold. Oh and the Chaney stuff that had the London After Midnight poster also.

I can definitely understand how this might not have much for you in it and I would agree that you shouldn't have to pay the postage for it, but at 10oz, even if you did, that isn't a ton by itself and you know that I know what international shipping costs are

Of course I was charged postage.  There is no flat fee shipping at HA; they weigh, they price, they charge.  It was a folded poster that should have had minimal cost. Add the book and you are over a pound and the cost goes up.  Tell me then what is shipping 1 folded poster to Canada, and then add a pound on top of that and see what the quote is.

Vick, I know precisely what shipping will cost.

if you buy a single one sheet from me, it is $23 to ship to Canada and I'm losing on labor & packaging.
To not lose on labor & packaging, would need to be charging $28

This is calculated on a 3lb package, not that it weighs 3lbs, but 2lb 1oz will be it's actual weight in the Stay Flat envelope, with 2 sheets of cardboard, a plastic bag & backing board board.

However, you said "folded poster"
that doesn't tell me if it's a 1 sheet or a French 47x63. It it was a 47x63, that could lift it to over 3 lbs adding another $8 or so to shipping alone.

the cost of shipping is a good chunk of change and if the GOP privatizes the post office, it's going to go up. considerably.

Not speaking for Heritage. But they don't charge exact postage. Your poster had a price based off the shipping chart they use (you can see the domestic one here - https://movieposters.ha.com/c/shipping.zx) and they then included the book and "paid" any additional fees themselves. If you don't find out what shipping charges are beforehand, that is on you.
You can be upset with what their charges are, but those prices are without any books and they don't raise the price if they include one.

But if it was mailed that way and got damaged, it's likely you'd be complaining & cursing about HA's "flimsy, inferior packaging." So it's almost like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, in your case.

Which would you rather have, Vick? Weak, cheaper packaging? Or that which tries to insure safe arrival?  dontknow.gif

Honestly I would like the option.  How often does your mail arrive all damaged in your mailbox?  Not me.  I get stuff mailed from all over, postcards. Etc, never any problems.  It doesn't arrive scrunched up n a ball or soaking wet, covered in bees etc

If I buy a $20 folded poster I honestly don't care if it arrives with an added corner crease bc its already in lesser condition or I'm willing to take that chance.  I feel pretty dumb having to pay $25 or more for monster proof packaging I don't really need.  So yes in some cases I would like the " toss a few one sheets in an eveloppe" option. When you pay an added premium on the US currency to begin with you start to question why you're forced to swallow a model that doesn't work for you.

I have something coming right now where I requested to the sender that the poster be sent First Class mail, rather than needing it ASAP and paying for the advertised (and more expensive) Priority Mail service- even though that was the only mailing option given.

The seller obliged and mailed it First Class. I was happy that they were willing to do that for me, as overpaying for shipping is a big peeve of mine, and I avoid it any way I can.

But I bet most dealers and auction houses would shy away from this, as the worry of potential damage and complaints would be too great.

In addition to the liability for damage issue, the major dealers really aren't set up for this.  Bruce sends out on the order of 2500 packages a week.  Can you imagine going into McDonalds and ordering 2500 Big Macs and then saying 622 with no onions, 814 with no lettuce, 310 with neither onions or lettuce.  Oh, and I need it quick because I am coming back tomorrow and ordering another 2500.

Jay, buyers like to think they are paying for shipping, but they aren't. Sellers pay for it in the form of lowered prices for their merchandise

but there's a catch - now that the buyers are used to paying lower prices for the merch, if you lower shipping costs - they still don't bid higher now.

moreover, your costs for shipping a package (labor & supplies) does not go down just because you're shipping by a different method.

Mail order business is tough enough, without having to leave out the onions for 622 orders and 814 with no lettuce.

Yeah, I grew up in retail/service business.  When I was 16, my dad was at a crucial point and asked if I wanted to take it over in time.   I said "hell no".  He closed the business and went into teaching.  I got my engineering degree.  30 years later, I took another shot at running a business (not retail) and eventually went broke.  I simply shudder when I think about trying to run something like your auction sites with the margins I imagine.  Designing airplanes is much less stressful.

business is and always has been a tough environment

people don't realize that in the first year, 50% of all new businesses fail. In 2 years it's 75%. In 5 years it's 90%
businesses that are open after 5 years are known as the cream of the crop.

Mail order is no different, but most people, who never do any kind of real 'bookkeeping' on how well they are doing, don't realize how poorly they are doing.

margins only get thinner, not bigger

there is no way to cut down the labor or materials costs and online competition is fierce.

while I am sympathetic to people buying online wanting to save money, your sympathy wears pretty thin as your prices realized goes down and fighting against Wal Mart selling at dollar store prices is another level of problem.

15 years ago, I charged $7 for packing/shipping and there was $2-3 there to pay for materials and labor. That margin for labor & materials has evaporated and at $12 for domestic mailing, I lose $2 on each package. In order to maintain the equation of 2002, I would have to charge $17 for the same service.

every dollar that a buyer/bidder's costs go up, the seller's price realizations goes down.

it's a no-win situation for sellers.

thanks bud. I've stated this before and while I totally appreciate the buyer side (after all, I'm still a collector!) I also recognize how easy it is for buyers to not know any of what I said.
factually, you want to buy it & get it and you really don't care about anything else. I understand this.

ps: after you posted, I saw I needed to make a correction:
"there is no way to cut down the labor or labor costs and online competition is fierce. "

is supposed to be "there is no way to cut down the labor or materials costs and online competition is fierce. "

yeah I've opened other businesses and never did well. I managed a family service station in Manhattan for a time also. We specialized in Mercedes at that time, but worked on anything of course. I always come back to this stuff.

fortunately, I'm able to keep my margin low, because my warehouse has low rent & biz taxes in Nevada are laughably low, especially for online business
the equation can change quickly of course, but the largest expenditure is and always will be labor - and mostly my own!
admittedly, I have pretty good job security as long as I have a warehouse full of stuff....

I was pointing them out as a cool sale, and I think a pretty good deal, once they had sold, in the Post-analysis thread. I certainly like them, too, and wouldn't mind owning them some day. Plus, it was interesting to see the 3 offered together in one auction listing.

Happy to answer this.
The "2lb book" is actually a 10 oz paperback book that retails for $11 via Amazon.
It's given free to all first-time buyers and anyone that fills out a survey and wants it.
Its called "The Collector's Handbook: Tax Planning, Strategy and Estate Advice from Collectors and Their Heirs."

In the 12 years we've been sending it to our clients, hundreds, if not thousands; I've never had anyone complain about receiving but have had a number of thanks for the helpful book.  :)

Grey... the copy you sent out arrived today. Thanks so much for getting a copy out to me. It's much appreciated.  thumbsup.gif

With Star Wars movies being made out as far as the eye can see you would think that these prices will at least hold for the time being - annoying for me as i want some of the older SW stuff but just can't bring myself to pay the current prices. Most of them are hardly rare!!!

Great results Dave - maybe you should do more of these auctions the demand seems to be there.

That's why it caught my eye- the recent posts and interest.

For me, it's more I noticed how low this copy seemed to go for compared to the US one sheet. It does have some condition issues, yes, but it still was a nice score for that winning bidder.

I agree with the poster.  My father was semi-obsessed with the novella this film was based on.  He had a well worn copy of the pulp magazine where it was first published.  I haven't seen that magazine in 50 years, but my recollection is that the cover art was very similar to the poster design.

Heritage sold a set for $19,120 back in 2008:
https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/rock-and-roll/help-united-artists-1965-door-panel-set-of-4-20-x-60-total-4-item-/a/694-28330.s

Obviously, that was a different time, prior to the financial crisis, etc, etc.

But yes, door panel sets are generally quite rare. The HA description notes that even at 1960's prices a door panel set cost $7.50 compared to 15 cents for a one sheet. Of course rare doesn't always mean valuable as we all know. But these Help! door panels are both.

Very interesting, DT. 

Kinda difficult to see the difference in condition with the set in the Heritage photos, but not too shabby of a result there, also. 

That is certainly a big difference in cost from the NSS back in the day, among the different formats. 

Thanks for the info.

the HELP door panels are in the pressbook, but only some films had such a size available and they do not always appear. Usually, they were only displayed at big first run houses and usually then during the initial showings

I haven't done any real research, but based on my anecdotal observations the heyday of the US door panel format was from the early '60s to early '70s. I haven't seen many from before/after that time frame.

I used to have a couple Bonnie and Clyde door panels (1967), that I was fortunate to randomly stumble upon at a local store for $25. My hopes were high that maybe the shop owner had the other two stashed somewhere. But alas it was just the pair. I had them on display for a while but sold them when I started focusing on Mexican paper.

Huh, LAMP shows a door panel set for All About Eve (1950).

That must be hella rare:

Am digging these door panels from Freaks (1932), too, seen in action. I bet these would go for a HUGE penny today.

So was there some nationally (in the US) recognised edict that all cinema doors had to conform to the same dimensions?

Those panels some to fit real snug.

This was a very healthy price for a poster from a very obscure Buster Keaton picture, a two-reeler made when his career was petering out in the mid-1930s :

A very nice image of Keaton. Neither EMP nor Heritage appear ever to have sold a single piece of paper of any type for this film.

They aren't door panels, they are custom displays. The photographic nature of the materials is why there is reflection & gloss

it was a big price and one factor about it's rarity is that it is a Fox distribution, which is probably the most difficult company as a rule to find paper of this time period of the major companies

Petering out? He still had 30 years in the business and worked steadily until his death.

Post by: martinc on May 08, 2017, 05:26:01 AM
I guess "petering out" wasn't the kindest description, mavbe a better choice of words would be that his work was in decline at that time. Even when he was working through the 50s and early 60s I don't think that there are many memorable moments to pick out other maybe than cameos in Sunset Boulevard and Limelight. He certainly kept busy, especially on tv, but it was just bread-and-butter stuff mainly.

When he was regaining critical acclaim in the 60s just before he died, it was for his self-directed classics from the 20s. I watched The General recently and it still seems fresh and funny now (which can't always be said for a lot of silent films) and the same could be said for at least half-a-dozen other films he made in that period. Which makes it all the sadder when you look at his film career thereafter.

his silent films are still fresh comedy. No doubt he was a genius and the total loss of his fortune on Black Tuesday 1929 crippled his ability, which seemed to have been crippled by the advent of sound movies as well. He should have continued making silents like Chaplin did, except I think he had a hard time getting financing for his films by that time.

Actually, if you search them out, his cameos continue to show his genius right up to the end.  The producers didn't tend to giv3e him much, but he always made the best of what was given him.

His move to MGM and the loss of complete control in making movies and the divorce from his wife Natalie Talmadge (in which she took his two boys away from Buster and changed their last name) led to his alcoholism and downfall in the early 30's. His sound pictures for MGM did pretty well but it was his boozing which did him in there.

A very nice image of Keaton. Neither EMP nor Heritage appear ever to have sold a single piece of paper of any type for this film.

I've been meaning to reply to this all week...as one of the most aggressively active Keaton collectors I can hopefully give some useful observations:

1.  The mid-1930s educational pictures shorts ephemera are pretty much completist areas of interest...there are quite a few deep pocketed silent film collectors who have great material from the important films starting with the true Keaton shorts starting in 1920 and ending in the desultory Keaton-Durante films circa 1933...

2. At this point the serious interest is in upgrading exceedingly scarce paper from the silent material, finding great lobby cards from the truly important Keaton classic shorts 1920- 1923, finding large format or one of a kind pieces from the  Keaton full length silent films (good luck).. scoring great cards (or larger sizes) showing Keaton and Arbuckle from the two reelers 1917-1920 ( the highlight of which were the lobby cards sold by heritage fetching nearly $8,500 for 2 scene cards in 2016) wow!!!!!

3. After Leonard Schrader sold nearly 183 early (& previously unknown) Keaton cards to Osian's film archive in India a few years ago....there was a palpable renewed interest in  Keaton material....records were set all over the place...especially by the serious collectors who know how rare the pieces are and just won't quit at auction....just ask Michael hawks...it's not very easy to buy high quality Keaton material from the silent era...expect a long fight for anything really nice

4. Morrie auctioned a lot of really great obscure cards from the Keaton silent era and those prices were really high compared to earlier results....some were one of a kind!!....hardly anything that sold has resurfaced from dealers or Heritage...so they were swallowed up in collections....and for good reason

So for anything later than 1933 this could be considered a great result....but then again compare this Hayseed Romance 1935 20 minute Keaton starring short one sheet that fetched $2200 with the Keaton supporting part 1918 Bell Boy one sheet that fetched $36,000 with Heritage in 2016 and you can see where the real interest is....and rightfully so!!

Great info there, Tait. And what a great read. clap clap

So, to boil it down, would it be safe to say that early, silent Keaton is the gold standard, collecting wise, and as the years and decades go by, it becomes a sliding (downward) collect-price scale?

Another actor that comes to mind, in this same vein, is Gloria Swanson, whose early, silent material is also rather coveted. Her LC and stone litho OS are beautiful.  bed1

And she did have quite the resurgence bump in 1950, with Sunset Boulevard. And also deservedly so, imho.

Post by: Filmlobbycards on May 20, 2017, 06:18:50 PM
It's pretty safe to say that from 1917- 1927 .... A mere 10 years....that this Keaton material is super rare, heavily sought after and very expensive....a nice combination....

I would like to amend some info and add some more:

1. Leonard Schrader didn't sell to Osian's ....his estate did...for 30 years he hid his buying habits and although he was active in the hobby and apparently acquired this material from many dealers....I think they found a perfectly documented partially hidden archive of black portfolios after he died...apparently no  one knew he had 8,500 lobby cards from the silent era and early talkies...from 1913-1937... Plus 5,000 related window cards, posters, stills and slides...it was 189 Keaton lobby cards and window cards that really blew everyone away....complete sets and some doubles of all the best full length silent classics ...the general, our hospitality, college, the navigator, steamboat bill Jr. Etc..And a complete set of Dracula lobby cards and window card!!

2. As soon as you get into the 1930's the gold standard for classic comedy posters, lobby cards etc. becomes the paramount Marx brothers material, early Columbia 3 stooges material with curly and the early Laurel and hardy posters ....Keaton value drops off sharply after 1930

3. Morrie undoubtably had one of the better Keaton collections....I'm not sure what exactly Ron Moore or mike or kev or marty or mike h. All have but together they hold a shitload of material....so there isn't really much available....Heritage was consigned some of the very best early Keaton short comedy material Pre 1925 from a silent film estate find that included complete sets of The Playhouse, the electric house and assorted other cards....they were in remarkable condition...I am not sure where Heritage got the General, college and Steamboat bill Jr. Cards that they sold over the past year...but they appear to be sets from a single find....I was lucky to win some of those cards

In any event these past 3 years have been really epic for collecting Keaton ....so much fresh to market material in such a short time....certainly better than  2003-2013.....I can't wait to see what the next find will bring!!!  :)

This guy sounds interesting, for sure. Was he a long time collector? And the finding of those secret, unknown portfolios of material had to be very exciting. Do you know much about him? Did he have family or children that decided to put this material up for auction after his passing?

I mean, a quietly, privately held collection of some 8500 items is amazing and astounding!  faint2.gif 

Were the Dracula LC set and WC from the first release, do you know?

Both Leonard and Paul Schrader were successful screenwriter brothers....Paul (the younger brother) helped Scorsese write scripts for Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and several others...Leonard was nominated for an Oscar for Kiss of the spider woman....Later he Ran the screenwriting department for the American Film Institute....he collected for 30 years...so he clearly had access to material through some back channels...I suspect he may have even been able to purchase vault copy lobby cards from the archives of the studios themselves....I know universal kept publicity material copies and scripts of everything successful...Heritage sold some sets a few years ago from an "executive" from universal

The wife shopped them around and of course large auction houses wanted to break up the material....but David Weisman the curator and close friend advised to keep it together since it was immaculately organized...Osian's cinema archive in India purchased it all and it resides there in entirety....you can google the Leonard Schrader collection and find out more...there are articles and pictures of select material as well

Yes the Dracula cards were original release....book 0192 I believe....and they were in Beautiful condition!!!

Thanks for the info, Tait. Paul Schrader is a name I know well and also his brother's to a lesser degree, but I wasnt tying the 'Keaton collector' to the screenwriter. If he did have access to those backdoor channels and studio stock, it makes sense why such a number of his items, as you described, were not only complete sets of rare and early material but also in fantastic condition.

I will check out Osian's and check out some of the imagery. And even this collection is now so far away from home, it's good to know that it was kept intact and not broken up. clap clap

Any idea what Osian's winning bid/purchase price was for the Schrader Collection?

Very interesting read on Buster Keaton.

That Leonard Schrader collection must have been something to behold. Although it is now in someone else's hands there is still this link which shows some of the collection and gives a bit of background :

What a great website, martin. And the home page photos keep refreshing with different images from the collection.  thumbsup.gif

This bio/provenance page is fascinating, too:

It would have been fascinating to know how (and from where) he compiled the collection but as he is no longer with us we'll never know.

It's the classic story of the secretive collector amassing material over half a lifetime almost without anyone else, apparently, knowing what he had. As he was involved with the teaching side of film history you might think that he would have used some of his collection in his lectures. Although, maybe not - if you had multiple sets of Buster Keaton lobby cards, would you want students putting their grubby mitts on them!

I know so many collectors who have so much stuff no one knows they have. For every collection people know about there are probably 10 which are completely unknown.

Yet more rare poster goodness that can still be found on Ebay's post sales search archive, from last month. clap clap

A set of eight 40x60 silkscreen posters from the 1930s. All are in a need of some TLC but the entire group sold for $2500.00 plus another $175.25 for Standard shipping.

I think this was another good deal gotten here. I would think these are pretty scarce. The colors are stunningly beautiful and because they are silkscreen, the inks almost glow on the paper.  bed1

The poster he sold (the one shown above) has no hole.

This Hungarian Planet of the Apes caught my eye.  A valiant bidding battle there, HC. 

Based on the additional info. on the listing, this one must be super, ultra-rare, eh?

Important Added Info: Note that we have been informed by a Hungarian poster expert that this poster (which measures large than typical Hungarian posters) is from a limited release in Hungary, when the movie was only screened in one cinema!

I bet he thought the same thing when he realized, at the 11th hour, that he had used the wrong picture during the entire auction run.

Had Dominique listed the correct pic, what do you think the potential could be for this 1P?

These are a beauteous piece of history.  Those bright dayglow purples, etc. are stunning, and cool how well the colors held up over the years.

I like the artwork on this one:

(http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx303/NeoLoco80/Posters/40x6030s_zpsaqwyydcp.jpg) (http://s766.photobucket.com/user/NeoLoco80/media/Posters/40x6030s_zpsaqwyydcp.jpg.html)

 

Great history of the 40x60s, that the listing borrowed from Heritage:

Studios began printing the 40 X 60 size in the early 1930s on a thin paper stock, this poster is the size the name suggests and was usually rolled when sent to the theater.
During the 1930s many of these posters were produced by the Hollywood Sign-Makers Union using a silk-screen process, which was often done in strong, day-glow paints which made for very striking graphics.
These craftsmen would often produce as many as ten to twenty paint screens to produce these works of art.
The other method for producing these larger size posters during this time was the photo-gelatin process, the same method used to produce 1930s Lobby Cards.
These posters were most often photographic and were produced on a thin paper stock which became brittle over time.
The silk-screen and photo-gelatin 40" X 60"s are by far the rarest posters to find for any film from the 1930s.
By the 1940's, the 40" X 60"s began being produced on a heavy card stock, in off-set lithography and remained so up until their demise in the early 1980s.
In the 1960s these posters became just larger copies of the one sheet, which could be put on an easel to display in large areas.
40" X 60" posters were printed in very limited numbers and few survived.

OMG, I don't even know where to start...

SW for $1.2K, Blade Runner for $1k, a good condition Revenge for $1k, ESB Kilian for $500, The Thing for $400, a good ESB GWTW for $400... then further down La La Land for $285, Last Jedi for $210... I can go on and on.

Look, I own all of these posters in mint condition, sometimes multiple copies, so I should be happy about the results.  I am, but t doesn't stop me from thinking that these are ridiculous prices.

I figured the 3 Star Wars one sheets in the top 5 were among the "insane."  Certainly some strong results, and as usual, for the popular titles.  I think some people would rather just pay the extra coin from Bruce, than deal with the potential fakes from eBay, etc.  Logically, those would be the most likely to be fakes, when buying from random eBayers, etc.  I wonder how long the SW, in particular, will continue this upward trend.

A lot of those are from a member here — "Undead" — his consignment pieces that he first offered for sale on this forum about a month ago. I was bidding on a few key upgrades but they just went too high for me.

Many of the posters closed way higher than what he quoted in PMs; I'm sure he's happy.

Not according to 90% of sellers who don't know what mint means.  I return stuff all the time because of a bent corner, a crease, an imperfection on something described as mint.  So extra mint is what I want ;)

So be it.  I personally don't collect posters for investment.  Real estate, fine art, markets, that's investment, not movie posters.  Posters is just a hobby to me.  Still, I'd be a fool not to smile a little (and scratch my head a lot) when something I purchased for $50 ten years ago sells for $1.2k in much lesser condition.  So if it becomes fish wrapping, I will have lost $50.  Okay, x3, $150.  I can live with that.

Just to be clear, I wasn't putting down your collecting strategy or even dissing that particular poster.

My comment was more along the line at how stuff tends to trend and is definitely generational.  I am in my lobby card phase right now.  By definition, that is mostly pre-90s stuff.  I am finding cards for iconic movies of the 40s-70s that 5 years ago I couldn't touch for under $100.  I am now getting some of them for the opening bid, and most under $30.

Now, I agree that Star Wars merchandise may well be the exception to the rule.  I expect it to have legs for a long time, likely 30-40 more years.  But that 80s=90s fad will fade soon, when the kids of that period start aging.

Post by: eatbrie on May 28, 2017, 02:36:48 PM
You're right.  I'd say that 70% of my 13,000 posters are post 1970, I pretty much own the 80s and everything afterward.  Bruce emailed me a few days ago to tell me that, money wise, my collection was spot on.  Meaning that a lot of my posters sell way way way above what I paid for them.  Like I said before, I'm not in that business so it means very little to me.  Eventually a lot of the 80s gear will be forgotten, the 90s will take over, and so on.  Of course, the classics will always sell, be it from the 40s, 60s or 80s, the Raiders or Back to the Future will always sell, but trends will change and the smaller stuff will disappear.

Not bad at all, considering the opening bid was $1.00

It just goes to show that there is no guarantee in this hobby.  The first one selling for $406 is ridiculous, but so is the vastly superior Advances selling for $22.50.  I was thinking of bidding on the latter, but I already own 5.  Whoever got them got a great deal.

Different strokes for different folks.  I think it's a great poster, but it needs to be completely mint (any flaws will show on this one).  The last mint one Bruce sold went for $288 in '14.  A far cry from this paltry $22.50.

I think the "RR" is a bit of a turn off for the 10K+ class.  There's a mental barrier there that's tough to get past.  Snobs!

Probably no different than most RR posters that can go for a lot less than their first release cousins.

I never cared for the Frankenstein 1947RR one-sheet, so I don't understand why it sells for that much money every time it shows up at auction.  I just don't think it's that good of an image, it looks like a cheap/tacky montage to me.  But then again, that's the way I feel about most of the Realart one-sheets too.

They had several other big sales that day.  This is the only other that went for 6 figures - a beautiful original from Mr. Frazetta, that sold for $346K.

The quality went down on many OS, for sure, when the Realart RR were issued. But when one considers what original release OS can go for from the Uni Classic horror series from the 1930s and even the early 40s, these are a little more comfortable to swallow, price-wise, for many collectors, especially since Uni horror stuff seems to maintain quite well, for the most part.

oh please. in some cases the Realart paper is even better. It's more colorful quite often. In the case of my House of Dracula, I think the Realart is better than the original release, the Frankenstein 1sh image is spectacular and lobby cards for several titles have much better images

the tide on that material turned in 2009-2010 coinciding with the economic collapse & the Haggard scandal which took lots of cash out of that market. It was also negatively affected by the exit of a well heeled collector in London. Since then, prices have remained stable, within some range. In the case of this Frankenstein poster, it's my opinion (the opinion of others) that it would have sold for it's fair value at Heritage. I think Sean could also have sold it, as I'm pretty sure he has a client looking for one. Similarly, I also have a buyer looking for one, and I think he may have saved himself $10k yesterday

If you read my post carefully, I didn't say ALL Realart examples went down in quality, I said a number of them did.  ;)

As a matter of fact, I posted in another thread a number of days​ ago about the Realart 1947RR insert for Dracula, and commented specifically how wonderful it is. clap clap

Rich, must you take such crass and unsubstantiated potshots at EMP/BH? The evidence:

HA last sold one of these in 2012 for the 2017 equivalent of $15,874:

oh stuff it Mel, my opinion is my opinion & whether you like it or not, that doesn't change.
My opinion is that HA would have done better than 15k, period.

HA hasn't sold a copy of the poster in 5 years and would no doubt do very very well with one right now.

also, I know if direct sales since that are $25k, $29k & $45k, though clearly $45 would be an outlier in the current market.

I certainly know I wouldn't price one below $25k in any retail setting and Dave would probably be asking double that or more (in case you are planning on measuring prices by a Dave listing)

Rich, in Jeff's defense, I'm the one who made the initial comment about not liking Realart OS (although I did qualify my statement by saying that I didn't like most of them as opposed to all of them).  I was thinking in particular of the enigmatic OS for the first release of Dracula's Daughter, which I find to be vastly superior to the garish and poorly designed 1949 Realart one-sheet for that same movie.  Same with the original poster for The Mummy when compared to the 1951 Realart version.  I guess I'm not a big fan of the brightly colored, cut-and-paste photo montage treatment of so many Realart posters.

I agree with Jeff's point though that Realart paper is a much more affordable option compared to what original release OS can go for from the Uni Classic horror series from the 1930s and even the early 40s.

Antoine, the Realart Mummy poster is a poor cousin to the original one sheet.
But there are other posters where they can be more desirable. I have the House of Dracula Realart poster and I think it's way better than the original. Whether the Wolf Man one sheet is better or worse is a matter of taste. Of course, at the same time the posters for Bride & Son are certainly mediocre in comparison. Frankenstein meets the Wolf Man, House of Frankenstein, the Lon Chaney Mummy pics.. these are a matter of taste which one people prefer and as I mentioned earlier, the 1961 Dracula is a particular favorite, but then again, it's not a Realart poster (neither are the 1947 Frankenstein or Dracula, which are all Universal release posters)

Rich, I agree that not all Realart OS are bad, but I still can't say that I find any of them superior to the first release versions. 

The 2 examples that you provide (House of Dracula and The Wolf Man) are interesting, because I think in both cases, the original OS wasn't very good to begin with.  I always found the House of Dracula OS to be oddly cluttered, and the floating heads of Frankenstein and the Wolf Man seem especially awkward-looking to me, so I agree that the Realart version isn't necessarily inferior (although I'm not a big fan of the use of photographs for the various characters instead of their drawn likeness on the first release paper).  Similarly, I never found the first release OS for The Wolf Man very interesting: the composition is weak and unbalanced, at least to my eyes (I'm fully aware how subjective such opinions are).  Therefore I could see how the oddly surreal montage of the 1948 Realart version, which seems to echo Salvador Dali or Giorgio de Chirico, might be considered more appealing visually, although personally I find it wacky as can be.

In other words, to each his own.  I'm certainly not trying to argue for my opinion to be the correct one.

poster & art collecting is totally based on to each his own
what people like is usually very subjective

that said, I know a number of people who think the 1947R one sheets on Dracula or Frankenstein are superior to the 1931 paper

that said, I know a number of people who think the 1947R one sheets on Dracula or Frankenstein are superior to the 1931 paper

There is no doubt the 47 Dracula 1-sheet is superior to the original release posters.

The Realart Frankenstein insert might be the best piece on the title.

Some prefer the Realart Wolf Man insert because of the full length image of the monster.

Realart does have the only scene card out of the entire Universal cannon that shows two monsters in make-up though - the close-up fight card from Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man.

And Jeff posted that great Chaney portrait card from Mummy's Ghost in the other thread.

Would be interesting to hear where this one came from:

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&auction_uid1=4668161

the only copy I ever saw was from a well known film collector who also had tons of movie paper. He passed away and his house got broken into and all the paper stuff "disappeared".

Rich, must you take such crass and unsubstantiated potshots at EMP/BH? The evidence:
HA last sold one of these in 2012 for the 2017 equivalent of $15,874:
EMP sold its one - the same condition as HA's (although lbacked) - for $15,150:

Although not as bad as the "evidence" a few months back that EMP knocked it out of the park with their Casablanca offering (before you came back Mel), this really isn't a good comparison.
2012 was at the apex of the 2011-2013 period where the bottom fell out of Universal horror.  Prices seen at auctions across the board during this time (whether at HA or EMP) were usually 50% or less than the going rate of the 2008-2011 peak prices.

The best of the best of this material has recovered somewhat of course, but it seems quite obvious that prices on a lot of the material have quite a ways to go to reach the prices they were selling for 10 years ago (if they ever do).

Good points Sean, but really I'm more concerned with Rich taking endless potshots at EMP/HA, driving Bruce off this and other forums. This is still going on three years after I left the hobby! BH still makes excellent posts on another forum and he's sorely missed here.

what a laugh.

pay attention Mel, my comment was very specific, that HA would have done much better with the Frankenstein poster. That's no potshot at anyone, it's a simple statement from a knowledgeable dealer & collector who has the inside scoop on the poster collecting hobby in ways you can only dream of.

HA sold one in March 2016 and it was $34k. They sold a back cover for $2600 a few auctions ago also. I think Bruce sold one a couple years ago also, for 25-30k

it's a great pressbook, as is the Kong.
I wonder what a sharp condition copy would sell for

The prices are still sane on eBay, running $300-$500. All seemed legit from a quick review of the listings:

The lower priced copies shown on ebay are all folded copies, too, which, I would assume, also accounts for some of the price difference.

The $2600.00 copy from emp was rolled (never folded).

When you sort those sold on emp (rolled, and not backed) from high to low, it shows a different story, price wise, too, with prices hovering higher. A rolled copy auctioned back in 2005 sold for $2042.77:

I didn't say they were the same just "sane." The folds don't seriously detract from this particular poster IMO.

The folds may not detract for you, from an aesthetic POV, but for many collectors, I'm sure a premium is placed on rolled copes (as is the case with many posters where both folded and rolled copies are available).

This Blade Runner insert sold for a pretty penny just a few days ago, going for $710.00. And it was linen backed. I always thought that items like inserts, LC and WC, with them being on thicker stock, were normally paper backed. I wonder who the restorer was and why he opted to put it on linen.

Good to read, Simon.

I figured that linen works fine on thicker stock, too. I was more wondering what the reason was, unless that particular restorer uses linen to back most things he works on.

This WC for The Scarlet Empress went for $956.00 yesterday. The imagery of Dietrich is really nice but the re-created lower section (starting about 1/4" into the word "Scarlet" and down to the bottom edge), most noticeably with von Sternberg's name and the Paramount logo, on the lower left corner, are not up to snuff and rather crudely done, upon close examination (imho).

Pretty surprising as it was available on ebay in unbacked condition all last year for $240k.

it is very obvious - Heritage is the best venue for such sales. They doubled the asking price of the owner, who will get at least $320k for his poster, unless he worked some other deal that HA would get a lower percentage of the take.

who cares if Heritage gets 20% and the BP if they can do this?

there's no 'apples and oranges' here. There's apples, oranges....... and Heritage

not convinced yet?

I sold a number of items in the auction and the results?

they sold 2 lobby cards I had priced at $100 each for $380 hammer. I get 285, more than my 200 price and I offer discounts

they sold an item for $190 hammer that I had priced at $125

they sold an item for $240 hammer I had priced at $149 on my website

a title card for $525 hammer than I had priced at $375

apples and oranges nothing.. This is pure gold as far as I'm concerned

that's why the price was so low. I can't imagine how well they would have done with that one sheet. I think it would have gotten at least to the same $107k that Supernatural and Frankenstein got

Heritage for the win!

Certainly makes you if the owner of the Scarlet Empress 1-sheet left a lot of money on the table by consigning it to Bruce.
When I first saw the image of the poster I was convinced that it was at least a $40-50K item (it's much more attractive and as important as Morocco), and I still am.

lol - guess we had the same thought. One could argue that the condition of Frankenstein kept the price down and maybe some prefer the Supernatural image (I personally think the Empress is better), but no one could argue that it's not a better image than The Lady Eve or The Thin Man.

Noticed it also when the same poster comes up again a few weeks later.  Remember, a poster at auction sells for what 2 people are willing to pay.  And you, the person who was willing to pay the most is no longer in the hunt.

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=4753553

Important Added Info: Note that there are unusual movie posters, but this might be one of the most unusual ones we have ever seen! It was found together with several other similar posters from the same time period, and we are certain it dates from 1968, when this classic movie first opened. But exactly what is it? It is a movie poster that measures just under 30" x 40", but it is not printed on paper! Rather, it is printed on a plastic material that is likely acetate. It has full-color printing on both sides, with a tiny "PRINTED IN U.S.A." in the bottom right of the solid background area. We would have to think that this was intended to be displayed in light boxes, but for whatever reason, it either was abandoned before it was ever implemented, or it was tried and quickly abandoned. Given that we have never seen another poster like this, other than the ones we were consigned (which were found together), we think it is more likely that this got abandoned before it started (perhaps the cost of making the posters was too high, or perhaps theaters didn't want to pay to have expensive light boxes installed). The poster is from the Cinerama release of the movie, and it has essentially the same image and taglines as the style A Cinerama one-sheet, but the words "a space odyssey" are red, and there is red in the center of the poster, which is on no other poster from this movie we have ever seen! There is a teaser poster from this movie that has the star child inside a psychedelic eye, which sells for huge amounts of money, and yet there are a number of examples of that poster. This is the ONLY example of this poster we are aware of! If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. As far as shipping this poster goes, it will "re-roll" itself if it is not pressed flat, and we can ship it to the new owner in a tube by itself (we won't combine it with anything else). We could also ship it in a very large flat package, but we are not sure that that would be an improvement on rolling it, and it would cost much more. Please bear in mind these details before bidding on this poster.

this is the same type of poster as the BAT double-sided HA sold, the One Eyed Jacks they sold and my Planet of the Apes which they also sold.

the BAT there are 2 known examples and it is believed that these were used for premiere showings at the Egyptian Theatre in L.A. or the Lowes Theatre in Manhattan

whomever bought it has a rare piece and whether there are others to be found is questionable as the material is fragile and they damage easily

price? I would think it is certainly worth the money and probably more than it sold for

also, it isn't an acetate, it's a vinyl compound

This LB copy of the 1938RR for White Zombie had been listed for a while by this particular seller. The price was dropped again to $799.99, and I see that as of Sept. 1st, it's no longer available, so likely sold. Perhaps they even took an off ebay offer that was a little lower.

In any case, Ive always loved this imagery and think Bela's eyes have it on this particular US OS.  bed1

NYT cautions that memorabilia of modern-day celebs like the Kardashians will never have the same mystique as Hepburn's:

A couple weeks ago, I was watching this B1.  Relatively high result.  The Sundance Kid was the underbidder at $138.

I'd really like to see the movie someday, but it's only shown in select IMAXs. Looks awesome.

From EMP  -"We noticed that there was an issue with an item that we had on auction that you were bidding on (or if you were not bidding, you viewed the auction). The item is 1f001 DIRTY DOZEN British quad 1967 different McCarthy art, ultra rare, likely for London premiere!

Note that we had thought that this was a London premiere poster. However, while it is still quite rare, it appears that this poster was not solely printed for the London premiere as we originally believed, and it was listed in the English pressbook.       
Because of the short time before the auction was scheduled to end, we decided it would be best to cancel this listing and relist it in our December MAJOR auction with a more appropriate description"

Thanks Damo! Good info there. It was out of my budget, but a really cool poster, I'm sure it'll do well in December.

I couldn't agree with you more. I love the art and would love to own it.
However, I would only spend that much money on a poster if I really, really like the movie a lot.

I've had a number of these the past few years and the price is definitely increasing. In four years the ones I have had have doubled.

Demand for this poster is definitely strong!

I have a 60x40 poster of this movie. Now THAT is an incredible poster.

they also had a wc for No Limit with Clara Bow which I tried to get.

In No Limit, Clara is an innocent looking for a waitressing job and unwittingly becomes a hostess for an underground gambling joint

it isn't in Struzan's online catalog and you can't buy an original for less than 20-25k
it's also not signed

German poster for The Jazz Singer just sold for $10K BELOW the low estimate of $20,000.00

The winning bid was $10,000.00 plus the BP

Im surprised it was let go at that price.

The Wolf Man WC went for $3600.00 plus the BP.

I dont think I ever noticed before that on this card, Chaney's head was basically added to a drawn, gorilla (wolfman) body, but wearing not a stitch of clothing, as he does in the movie.

Interesting take on doing this for the WC, I think.

you mean "below the low estimate" which clearly had noting to do with the reserve on the item, which in this case was 15k, which was the opening bid on the item

Unreal. SOld with it being $13K UNDER the low estimate.  faint2.gif

to continue the above comment, they generally have a formula that relates the low estimate to the opening bid. so some items I had low est at $300 started at $90 (a 30% ratio) and $1000 low est was $500 open (50%). for the DTESS 6sh, because the first bid was $15k, it is obvious the ratio on that poster was 30% as well

you can be sure of this: the opening bid on any item in their auction will win if there is no competition. No reserve will be above opening bid for anything

As You can see, the movie poster is very, very Beautiful. I bought this in 1970 at a convention that I
put on in Oklahoma City. It was called, MULTI-CON 70. We had Buster Crabbe as our main
guest. Back then, you could buy an ACTION ONE FOR BETWEEN $200 AND $500. So my money
did not go too far because there was so much wonderful stuff to be bought. This Con was the First in

Did you look at the condition on this one? All the borders had been trimmed and replaced as well as many other problems.
The one in last year's HA November auction brought just over $7K, so the result is consistent with that, and the last one Bruce sold was just over $5K, but yes in unrestored condition this poster demands a nice premium (as it should). I'm not aware of any auction results for the one-sheet that hit $20K, but certainly a nice unbacked copy will hit the mid-high teens in price and might sell privately for more.

The first release (1942) US OS for Casablanca just sold for only $14,000.00 and Matt's Italian '62RR went for $90K.

Amazing what this hobby shows and the results it produces! It makes for a lot of fun, that's for sure.

It is certainly amazing what Heritage has done for this title in general. It was only 5-6 years ago that a $16,700 result for this title in this condition would have been thought of as a strong price, now it's seen as a disappointment by some.

Heritage has now sold 8 pieces from this title for six-figures plus (for over $1.5 million total) led by the beautiful Italian poster for $478,000(!!) and an equal number of posters for $50-99,000.
Simply Amazing.

Sure, maybe some other auction house could possibly one day sell a poster for six-figures - but of the 36 posters sold at public auction that have achieved $100,000 or higher Heritage auctioned an amazing 29 of them(!) and no other auction house has achieved a six-figure result since 2001.

They might not have a "For Millionaires Only" sign on the auction door, but I certainly want them to keep inviting as many of those millionaires as possible to bid when I sell a poster (is that Matt shaking his head in agreement I see?).

on the Casablanca 1 sheet, it was:

1) linenbacked
2) Only C-6/7

to anyone who believes that linebacking your posters is a 'benefit' such a result as this should explain clearly that well-heeled collectors disagree. The linenbacked 1sh never achieves a top price anymore, especially compared to the raw copies.

I bought 3 pieces in HA's sale and one was linenbacked, however the likelihood I will find another copy of the UK poster for Speed Demon (1914) is so small that I don't have much option.

Linenbacking when necessary is one thing. Linenbacking as a general methodology is a fool's game.

I wholeheartedly AGREE. Some of the things I bought that were linenbacked, I now wish i had waited for to appear in original, non-linenbacked form.

my ratio of raw to linenbacked one sheets in my collection has to be 200-1 or better and I only sent 1 out myself to get backed.
soon that poster will be on my sales list

And with buying posters that are already L-backed, you never know what you are getting, restoration-wise (vs. having the work done yourself).

And even when one does have the work done him/herself, the work can sometimes be much less than expected. Examples of this kind of sub-par work have been shown here on the forum, from time to time, too.

Did you look at the condition on this one? All the borders had been trimmed and replaced as well as many other problems.
The one in last year's HA November auction brought just over $7K, so the result is consistent with that, and the last one Bruce sold was just over $5K, but yes in unrestored condition this poster demands a nice premium (as it should). I'm not aware of any auction results for the one-sheet that hit $20K, but certainly a nice unbacked copy will hit the mid-high teens in price and might sell privately for more.

Ah, no I didn't.

But then, all at HA is Fine / Mear Mint without going into the images...

Thanks.

I noticed on the description of the Dracula that it was recently discovered as the second copy known. Anyone know where it was discovered?

It was owned by noted film historian Lt. Col. George J. Mitchell, Jr., an Associate Member of the American Society of Cinematographers. He owned it since the 1950s before his family placed it in the auction.

this card was a stand-out in outsized pricing, but I suggest it is bought by someone in one or more of these categories:

It sounds to me that this is written by someone who doesn't have a penny to his name and is extremely bitter about it.  A failed writer and screenwriter.

Having said that, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, and I understand why someone would think that half a million dollars spent on a piece of advertising is utterly ridiculous.

I wonder if the article's author, Tom wrote this bio himself:

"Tom has written several articles pertaining to TV and films throughout the course of his career. At this time he is a published author and an aspiring screenwriter and has featured several short film ideas on his own site.

His full-length novels include such titles as the “Of Light and Shadows” series, the “Sanu’te’ Chronicles” and the riveting thriller “Phonebook”. All of his novels can be found on Amazon Kindle. The screenplays he’s shared to date are “Unbound”, “Witness”, “Common Ground”, and “Don’t Stop”. He currently works as a freelance writer and also works as a part-time screenwriter. He currently resides in Oregon with his family."

Plus a link to other articles he's written, I guess he goes by "Wake" for this site:

I am a small player when it comes to collecting things as I am a naturally born cheapskate :)

Anyway, I was working night shift on Tuesday night, what a great occasion to bid live at EMP auction (which I rarely as they fall in middle of nights; btw are they transatlantic people here who wake up at night just to bid?).

Well, I ended up spending 180 USD in one night, a first for me in regards of posters!
But I am thrilled to have won something "We have never auctioned this poster before!" and thus to have a unique poster, something that very few people have (I could even be the only one to have it).

It is a large Italian poster, equivalent to US 24sh.  Size is 113 x 208"  (286 x 528 cm).   
I am trying to get info online to know if it is an official Italian size but found nothing aside the standard 2- and 4-fogli.

Neat looking Italian billboard for Hatari, there, BB. Congrats on the win! And by Nistri, no less. thumbsup.gif

You mentioned spending $180 USD. I see you won the poster for $101.00. So is the rest of that total for the shipping fee? Or did you win something else, too?

And do you have a wall all set for it to be hung up on?  ;D

Hi there,

1. Kudos to the courageous ones waking up at night to bid  thumbsup.gif

2. Erik1925, it is indeed. Now, everybody can guess my username on EMP :p  but anyway, this is my last lot for EVER as I have other more important plan, leaving Kenya and relocating to Merida (MXCO) by mid-2018.  Yes, I won other stuff (GODS MUST BE CRAZY Italian 1p, ZAPATA Italian 1p, EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP French 1p, SPIRITED AWAY French 1p).   I have space as I live in a penthouse and thus have a very long wall, just need to organise for DIY perspex... but since I live in Kenya, my aim is to frame it and show off, hoping to sell it to a prestigious lodge in Masai Mara.

3.  Any info about the Italian large size, is it a legit Italian size ?


Cheers

Sounds like a nice mix of things you won, BB.

That Hatari billboard will look stunning, Im sure. I would guess that it is a legitimate size but maybe not printed up as often in Italy? Or maybe done more for blockbuster or "larger than life" war or adventure type films?

And congrats on the upcoming move. Im sure it's beautiful down in that part of the Mexican peninsula.  How long have you been in Kenya?

I was comparing the film logos  shown on both the color and tri color posters and each is different. The opening credits of the movie show the Radio Pictures logo (as is also shown on the color poster).

The tri color poster has the RKO Radio Films logo, which was a later incarnation. So that would also seem to suggest that the ebay-sold poster is a later RR.

Here is the opening credit sequence to Kong ( it starts @ the 2:00 mark), showing the Radio Pictures logo:

Original release Kong posters (from everywhere) use the original RKO closing logo with the extra squiggle in the electric bolt.
You can see it on in the closing credits here:

There is no way that red poster is an original release.

I'm sure Bruce knows this fact, no idea why he would label his database photo otherwise, but it certainly isn't the only incorrect info in there.

He could be also an asset manager, or an insurer/underwriters, or a bit of both  thumbsup.gif

"VALUE PROTECTION
Documenting value is one of the initial steps in underwriting fine art protection. The constantly fluctuating art market is a substantial factor in determining the value of an individual piece or a whole collection.  Over the years art prices have soared – increasing more than 20-fold since 1985, according to some experts – increasing the value of most artwork across the board, and forcing the need to properly insure. As the value of art goes up, so do insurance premiums, which are calculated on the value of the artwork. Collectors and museums are finding themselves reevaluating their works on a regular basis. [...]  Either way, underwriters will request evidence of an artwork’s value, including a recent bill of sale or appraisal."

Every now and again there is a bidder that goes way over the top buying lots of pieces on Bruce's auctions and then backs off for a few months...

The thing that struck me as odd is that 90% of those cards have been auctioned in the past 2 years and there was no urgency to bid so much on (in some cases) relatively easily obtainable material....but to each their own..

There was only 1 absolute unicorn in that lobby card auction....it's never been auctioned before and you most likely will never see it again...

Any guesses?

This is why the idea of him (or few others) being a stocker/asset manager or even better an underwriter is odd but possible, but for sure it is pretty funny.
The fact there is no urgency to bid on it is odd indeed; but somehow they are still rare items with high interest.

GREAT POSTER MATT!!  Hopefully you didn't pay anywhere close to the $39,000 that Heritage fetched for the 1 sheet in Nov. 2013!!

Its always been a major challenge to find anything from this film...I think partially because it was an experimental feature for Keaton and it wasnt a major release..he made it into 3 separate narratives so that they could be broken up and sold as individual short films if it didn't perform well as a feature..It still doesn't completely explain why the posters are so rare..

To my knowledge there hasn't even been a complete lobby card set to surface...Leonard Schrader had 5 different scene cards which now reside in Osian's film archive in India (including this same scene card and the one Morrie sold)..Heritage sold a different scene...so that makes 6....still don't know what the other 2 cards are!!

...I was the big winner of the Three Ages card AND the Sherlock JR. card!!  I'm beyond stoked...Merry Christmas to ME!!

No, but that one has a severely demented kid next door who tortures the characters and blows stuff up!  ;D

My 4 year old is fine with it. And Monsters Inc, Frozen, Nemo, Iron Giant, etc... she also told me recently she wants to see Star Wars, King Kong and Godzilla.  I think my 6 year old just gets really wrapped up in things and is very affected by all the highs and lows and dramatic music. When she watches cartoons she prefers Miyazaki (Totoro, Ponyo, Kiki). Even then it’s clear she would rather be watching live action films. Her favorite flicks are Top Hat, Shall we Dance, Roman Holiday, My Favorite Wife, It Happened One Night, Modern Times, Singin in the Rain, etc...

Keep in mind I was watching Terminator and Eastwood westerns at her age!

A 1929-1930 RR POTO half sheet Ive not seen before. Beautiful imagery with light tinting to the characters. It had some restoration, which looks to have been done quite well, too. Not having been paper backed or placed on linen, I wonder if it was gel backed?

Here's what was done, per the seller's description:

"This poster was professionally restored but was not paperbacked or placed on linen. The restoration was well done and addressed several edge tears; vertical foldline wear; pinholes.  The upper left corner of the poster from the top edge of the “P” in Phantom to the corner point was missing and was expertly recreated. The recreated triangle corner measures 4 ½” x 5” x 7”

It sold for a high, winning bid of $2950.00.

I once saw an interview with Walt where he said that he put a scary scene in all his movies.  He didn't want the kids watching it to think that the world was all fun and games.

A good party conversation starter is to ask people which Disney movie makes them uneasy.  It always seems to be the one they saw when they were 4-5.  Pinocchio for me.

Well, I'm a little different.  I really have no affinity for old B&W Laurel & Hardy, Buster Keaton and others, so my kids will not be watching them (my wife doesn't even know what they are).  I will show them, in time, classic Hollywood movies of my choosing.  Even B&W stuff like the Weissmuller's Tarzans.  Like with my posters, I can't see myself going pre-1940.

Right now, they're all about Coco.  Saw it on the big screen, then probably 3 times on TV, and now on my laptop :)

I am your six year old! Introduce her to more screwballs. Easy Living, Hands Across the Table, Thirty Day Princess, Bringing up Baby, The Shop Around the Corner, The Awful Truth, The Thin Man series. Most Preston Sturges written films would be appropriate.

Laughing Gravy is the best early sound Laurel and Hardy short. It's incredibly sweet but the original ending is sad. Funny, but could cause crying

The only copy of this poster I am aware of I helped the FBI recover in the Haggard case (he had purchased it from DeLuca for around $15,000). I don't recall if it was part of the stuff sold in the Marshall auction earlier this year or not, but I thought it had not come up yet.

Hey Sean,

Another copy) and maybe this is the copy you're referring to, did sell on July 27 of this year for $2020.00 by Gaston & Sheehan Auctions. The way the "country of origin" line looks--partially cut off, almost like a stencil got in the way if the borders were airbrushed? Or maybe a legit mistake when this piece was printed, (this is also mentioned in the auction notes).

A pic was also offered of the verso, showing a larger green stain.

Do you think this is the copy you assisted with? From the description of the damage, it sure sounds like it could be the same copy that sold on ebay.

The ebay copy mentioned earlier is the same copy that was sold back in July. The same border tears are evident in both, as well as the partially incomplete "country of origin" line, plus the same, large green stain on the back of the piece.

It's not just the floating heads; it's the lack of side-boob.

I have a feeling if the insert kept the coitus more ferarum position, but with a side view, it would have fetched far more than the paltry $382!

Picky point that shows my engineer ENGINERD OCD.  $382.40 is 1% of $38,240.00, not .1%

mrs.miniver sold a poster!!  ;D

Described as a C-10 mint, rolled, Undated Revenge of the Jedi OS. (mrs m says it was a rolled, never folded copy, and opted to back it, anyhow).

With a BIN of $4450.00 plus $32.50 for shipping.

In the blurb, s/he says;

"This rolled original is destined to be the first $10,000 Star wars 1-sheet! It's a dream, or, Holy Grail item."

...which is not accurate by any stretch of imagination.

Even as a non-Star Wars collector, I am aware of the One Day Only 1 Sheets that (at least) Bruce has sold for $20k+

It's got to be ghost account buying it for him. I can't see anyone paying that much for a poster. It's just waaaaay too much.

if I had a NM undated, rolled never folded, I would be asking $3995 for it and that price has been realized.

at $4450.00, it's a bargain by Miniver prices. surprised he didn't have it as 12,500

From him, yes, it is a bargain for sure.
Also, my apologies. I retract my last statement. I re-read the post and I originally skimmed right over the "undated". Of course that does indeed make a significant difference.

An incomplete set of 6 lobbies (without title card) for Guys and Dolls went for a very high $157.
Usually these cards go for $10-15/ea.
Looking at the history, 2 bidders really wanted it.

A few days ago I found a similar but different prior sale:

(http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u536/HereComesMongo1968/30x40_frankenstein_R51_mounted_PA02113_L_zpsr1o6lumm.jpg)

http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/3335377.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/3335377.html)

******

I consulted with Jeff/erik1925 to see if he could track down other prior sales of either "style" but he quickly figured out the dealio:

The first thing I noticed on the copy emp sold is that it looks like a cut and pasted head/face of the monster was placed over the printed image.

If you look at bruce's copy... look at the printed image of the windmill in the background.. and then notice that part of the photographic image overlaps and covers part of the windmill. It looks sloppy and is obvious that it doesnt match the rest of the poster. When compared to the one on ebay, its easy to see that the 2 posters are identical, in every other way, aside from Frank's head.


And if it is a cut and pasted job on the one emp sold, its odd that wasnt mentioned, in conjunction with the fact that the borders were all trimmed off on the emp copy also.

Again, maybe its not a cut and pasted head on the emp copy.. but it sure looks like it was added, to me.

*****

I was sure he was right, and I checked in with another expert, who agreed the head was pasted on but it could well have been issued that way, like many 30x40s from this era with glued on images.

Post by: erik1925 on January 22, 2018, 10:04:06 AM
Many 30x40 size posters were issued with cut and pasted images attached to them prior to those posters being sent out?

I'd never read or heard this before.

It seems to make little sense that a poster would be printed with "image A," for example, as designed, only to then have some piece cut from another poster & glued over part of the original image. Why not just print the poster with the preferred image? Plus, poster designs had to be signed off on prior to being printed, by the studio. So was permission given to then alter those approved images with some piece just glued on later?

And who did all the extra work (the cutting and pasting?) Was it the printer? NSS employees?

Any idea?

If nothing else, I could see a poster being altered or added to by a theater employee, once it was in their possession.

Interesting and curious info, for sure.

This first release US HS for Dracula's Daughter (1936) sold on ebay a couple days ago for the single, winning bid of $5999.90

Unrestored and not backed. And what a a cool "history" on the reverse side, having been stamped, showing that this item has been in the collections of (at least) 3 other collectors over the decades.

3 of them state, those in black in, "From the collection of Terry Witmer." (or what looks like Witmer).

Shown in the upper left, lower left, lower  & upper right. Maybe all 4 are duplicates of the same previous owner.

The ones in red ink look to be the name and address of some poster business or maybe a previous poster seller?

The near upper left-center and lower right stamps, in black, can be better seen and read in this larger image:

I like it best when the stamps bleed through to the front so that you don’t have to turn the poster over and see who used to own it.

It is interesting though that the final owner who amassed that great collection didn’t stamp them.

Nope and I don't really recall pasties on other 30x40s but really they're so rare pre-1960 - I've never bought one or scrutinized one b4.

most paste-up stuff was done by individual theatres who wanted to customize what they were doing, either to stand out from the competition, fit displays they already had or to remove salacious content to meet moral standards where they were. Occasionally NSS also created custom material, probably on request or to fill a need when they had no more posters and couldn't justify a large print run and of course there was Melloy Bros who did those 40x60 customized displays generally with photographic content

The 30x40 for the 1947 release of Frankenstein had a photographic image attached.
So does the Realrt poster for Bride of Frankenstein (https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/horror/the-bride-of-frankenstein-realart-r-1953-silk-screen-poster-30-x-40-horror/a/161732-51064.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515# (https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/horror/the-bride-of-frankenstein-realart-r-1953-silk-screen-poster-30-x-40-horror/a/161732-51064.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515#)

In looking at the 30x40's that emp has sold for movies from the 1930s (27 items) and '40s (81 items), only the Frank '51RR looks to have had the added cut and paste from any of the 1930s films and it looks like none from the 1940s had a cut piece glued on, post-printing.

So i wonder how common the added cut & paste practice actually was?

1930's 30x40:

According to Todd Spoor's book on 30x40s and 40x60s, applying the B&W photo image to the posters was something that really got going in the 50s and they were all applied by hand.
He shows several examples.

According to Todd Spoor's book on 30x40s and 40x60s, applying the B&W photo image to the posters was something that really got going in the 50s and they were all applied by hand.
He shows several examples.

Thanks for the info, Sean.

I'll have to look for his examples, too. I went thru all 410 examples from the 1950s that emp has sold and none of those had added, pasted imagery attached to them.

There are many examples of B/W photos on these 30x40s but those photographic images were printed originally on those particular pieces.

YOWZA! This 30x40 1951rr Frankie has been the most-watched MP for 10 (!) straight days with 90 (!) watchers:

I MUCH prefer the original drawn artwork on this 30x40, as compared to the photo cut and paste job on the other example, which looks a little sloppy (edges dont match and part of the windmill was covered over). Plus the drawn image of Frank on the original is very well done, imho, and the "unpasted" version would be my first choice, hands down.  notworthy.gif

And, what local theatre owners felt they needed to do to bring in the crowds.  I wonder if you shine a light through the poster if there are holes underneath the pasteover?  If those posters were used more than once, who knows what gimmicks (e.g. lights, whirly gigs) were stuck through some of those posters.

Great movie + great poster + hot girl + DS + Mint condition (absolutely essential for a modern title) = $$$

The poster is not rare, but the demand is probably higher than for most modern titles.

That's exactly what I thought. But then I remembered that emovieposter bidders have very deep pockets, which works in my favour because I consign regularly and sometimes wish my consignments would get locked in a bidding war. I guess everyone wishes that their Brooklyn quad ends at $343.

I'm just waiting for overzealous consignors to send their Lost in Translation posters so normal folks like me have a modicum of a chance at acquiring one.

Yep - fantastic result. More than triple the price of what Bruce got for one just a couple of months ago.
Very nearly joined the elite 1/3 of 1% club that is $1,000 sales at Emovie.

I guess stock market fears are over for some people.

And that ebay copy. which also looks to be near mint, is also open to a Best Offer, on top of the 50% emp result. So who knows what that seller might take? 425? 450?

I didnt think the copy result from last night was what those went for, but more an anomaly (and ltheir auction history shows this, too, to a degree, with condition also coming into play, of course).

The last one they sold, also described as 'very good to fine,' sold in 11/2014 for $213.00. And the last one to sell, prior to last night's copy, in July of 2015, & described as 'good to very good, (it had a 1" crease in the lower left corner), sold for $130.00

This is another example that shows when 2 people are in the right place at the right time and both REALLY want that one poster being auctioned, a good ol' bidding war ensues.

The seller of the ebay copy (ShutterIslandovmp) is also an APF member.  ;)

Well we saw a couple of those results in the past year, with both a Scarlet Empress one-sheet and an unbacked Casablanca one-sheet.
The Casablanca was eagerly scooped up for a bargain price by a dealer and I wouldn't be surprised if we found out the Empress was also.

The last heavy-hitter I can remember with a reserve at HA was when Todd went fishing with his Bride of Frankenstein teaser, and was unable to hook a buyer at his high ask.

Time-payment plans would probably help Bruce with some lower-high end stuff (is that a word?) in the $5-20,000 range, but I don't believe the few people who are willing/able to spend $100K on a poster make use of such plans.

Brandon, how does a reserve matter, when almost nothing HA sells in the Signature auctions goes for minimum bid, regardless of opening price?

moreover, HA Sunday auctions all start at $20 ($1 + $19) and they still beat the pants off their competition.

it's a fake line from a competitor that insinuates only reserves achieve these high prices, but it takes 2 to Tango and there is lots of Tangoing going on at HA

Lots of tangoing here on APF as well!  They are all competitors for our business and thank goodness for that.  It's so nice to me to have choices like emovieposter, Heritage, MoviePosterBid, eBay, etc. I wish I had this kind of variety of service and selection in a few other things I like!

You're not dreaming. A version of that poster was sold for $1,300, though it was low because it's not a one sheet, but a smaller sized "special poster" that was guaranteed to be genuine. But now that you've mentioned, yes, strange that it's missing from the results.

I have never heard of such a poster at 19.5x28.5 inches and would like to know how they have information that guarantees it as authentic

as to missing from the database - that generally means it has been unpaid to date, or withdrawn or both. I suggest that maybe it wasn't what they believed it was. If it isn't in the database in a couple more weeks, you'll know for sure.

you can find it on google

I have one of those undersized B2 Pulp Fiction Lucky Strikes; it came as part of a set with a theatrical B2 Pulp Fiction ( Tim Roth with a gun).

Do you mean you get your copy as part of a lot? Or tha it was sold commercially as a set? Thanks.

It was part of a lot.  If I remember correctly (this was around September/October last year), the seller had auctioned a few sets of "Tim Roth" style posters (ie. 2 or 3 copies of the same Tim Roth in one set) and then listed this lot as the last of his bunch.  1 Tim Roth and 1 Lucky Strike.

What’s your feeling... commercial?  Do you have a photo of the Tim Roth poster? Thanks!

All of Emovieposter's auctions immediately go into the auction history database as soon as the auction closes (look up any item that closed last night and you will see what I mean).

And while I didn't see the auction, if the dimensions were 19.5x28.5, that is not a Japanese B2 size

Well... what can I say... the weight/feel of the paper seems legitimate.  Both posters feel and roll like the gazillion of other B2 theatrical posters I have.  Both have that "smell"... you know what I mean.  And both have nicks, creases, dents showing that they've been stored and rolled like any other old theatrical poster.  They do not seem to be minty white repros sitting in a plastic sleeve waiting to be plucked off the rack.

Why the Lucky Strikes is 2 cm shorter width-wise, I have no idea.  I've reached out to a few dealers in Japan to see if they have any information.  If they shed anymore light on the situation, I'll let you know.

I did not realize it was not the US version.  Now it sold for too much.  I wonder if the buyer realized it afterwards and pulled out of the sale.  Still, it should be showing up on Bruce's archive.

In your scenario it makes perfect sense why it doesn't show up - Emovie only archives actual sales, so if the seller backs out or it is later cancelled it would be removed.

since when is a seller given the opportunity to rescind the sale?

is this seriously a practice that any auction would engage in?

If so, wouldn't such a practice be universally condemned by the collecting community?

Not the same as what was being described.  Bruce has posted on this before.  Bruce will remove a sale from the archives if the sale is cancelled for one of two reasons.  First, someone points out that the poster is not as represented in the sale.  It was a re-release, bootleg, etc.  Under those circumstances, Bruce will offer a refund and if accepted, remove the sale from the archive.  That seems fair.

I believe the other condition is when the buyer files a claim that the poster is not what was represented, usually on condition.  I haven't heard on this case.  I had one poster slightly damaged in shipping and wrote to Bruce.  It suddenly turned into a complicated mess of filing damage claims to the shipper and eventually I just decided it was best to live with the damage (cheap poster)

I'm not sure how Bruce deals with auction results when the buyer doesn't pay.  I suspect these are also not included, but I have no experience there.

Jay, I was quoting T's post.

If any auctioneer anywhere is allowing consignors to rescind a sale any time after the moment it is listed for sale, that is wrong and no auction house should allow it.

buyer issues are an entirely different matter

If the buyer misread the description and thought he was buying a one sheet, later called Bruce and informed him of his mistake, and Bruce let him off the hook, I don't see what the problem is.  We all make mistakes.  I thought it was a one sheet and initially stated that the price was low.  I didn't even know there was an undersized version of this poster.  Had I bought it, especially at that price, I would have probably asked Bruce to cancel the sale, and I assume he would have sold it to the next person in line.  It's not worth getting into a fight with a customer and losing said customer.  I'm just surprised it completely disappeared.  It's the first time I see an item disappear.

Nah, I agree with Rich, now that I understand.  If the auction is properly described and you put a bid in, you need to own it.  I have bought items from everybody over the years because I didn't bother to read the full description before placing a bid.  Just suck it up and hope someone else outbids you.  If not, just smile and pay up.

My best example was when I bought a trashy car stereo amplifier.  I was looking for specific items while waiting for my friends to meet me.  I saw them walk in the door and waved to them.  Bad move.

well I'm glad u agree with me, even though my post was incorrect for the reason I stated in my last post.

For some reason I haven't been controlling my sugar well lately and my cognitive abilities early in my day are suffering

good thing my quarterly doc visit is in a couple weeks

however I do agree that when you bid, you should own it, because my only interest after I list it is to move it out and if you aren't going to pay, don't bid.

different situation than the PF poster though. I can understand every bidder wanting out of that, especially when even though he 'guarantees' it, he doesn't post any information in the listing noting WHY he guarantees it to be authentic, why it's that size, where it could be from and why it's never been seen before.

something that is lacking in numerous descriptions on important items

I think this one is a fluke.  I wish I could see the original post on Emovie, but I don't remember seeing the size of the poster in the title.  If I had, I would have known it wasn't the right one.  I almost wanted to bid at some point, but ended up not bidding because I already own the poster and it flew past what I wanted to bid.  Not knowing that another undersized poster existed, I had no reason to look further.  My bad, I guess.  From what I gather, no one knows for sure if it is even authentic.  For all we know, the folks at Emovie may have realized it was a mistake, informed the seller and canceled the sale.  If the buyer made a mistake, $1,300 is a lot of money for a lot of people and I can understand why he/she would have asked Bruce to cancel the sale.  If Bruce is okay with it, then maybe he'll relist it at a later time.  People do make mistake, and I don't think you should own it.  Not at $1,300.

Yes, $1,300 is too much for the poster, and if it was a mistake, it's quite a costly one. Obviously the consignor would be unhappy but I doubt he/she would be if that person is rational, knowing that the poster wasn't supposed to go that high anyway and frankly just happened to strike lottery on this one.

Personally I don't think a person needs to pay up if that person realised it was a genuine mistake (not to be abused here at whim and fancy), since like T said, we all make mistakes. You really can't force a person to pay. $1,300 may be peanuts to some but it is still a sizeable amount.

You're right, Chris, but I have a habit of checking auctions the day of, or the day before, and sometimes I overlook things that I end up bidding on at the very last moment.  We all have our ways of doing things and to err is human.

Definitely. I know I would, and so will everyone who doesn't have $1,300 to throw around, but I really am inclined to believe that there is a chance it was an error on the bidder's part which was entirely genuine. Not to say this is an excuse to rescind, but shit does happen once in awhile.

It was a mutilation clear and simple of one of the great all time collections that was not suppose to be sold from the archive that negotiated the deal....we have discussed the collection in old posts...I still don't know why Osian's would do this...here is where they originally came from:

http://www.leonardschradercollection.com/ (http://www.leonardschradercollection.com/)

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/02/lobbycards200802

The Collection consists of 8,462 vintage lobby-cards and 5,000 related items - many the sole surviving traces of long-lost silent films - acquired by late screenwriter/filmmaker Leonard Schrader over the course of 27 years. While Schrader preserved his collection with painstaking care in hundreds of 13x15 photographer’s albums - or “binders” - mysteriously he left no written inventory or index of this vast archive’s contents.

“The collection has been sold, as a whole, and will be soon shipped abroad. The transaction is in final stages of conclusion and the buyer intends to make his own announcement soon, so that is all I can say right now.

“Suffice to say no one in this country had the vision or resources to compete. But the Schrader collection appears to have found the home it deserves – one that’s very much in keeping with the current zeitgeist.”

Post by: erik1925 on March 08, 2018, 04:14:55 PM
If these cards were pulled from that wonderful collection, when it was agreed previously that the entire Schrader Collection would remain intact, then pulling the rug like this was not good.

Any idea how this came about? Or did Osian's always have the right to auction off (any) part of the collection, if they so chose?

They were from that collection....the condition is identical and many of them are the only known example....I have access to the original digital archive that was made back in 2010ish....For research purposes i examined every piece closely back then...it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity

His widow shopped them around for some time trying to find a suitable spot for the entire collection...Osian's film archive in India purchased the entire collection and housed it there in entirety for some time...the 180+ Keaton cards were the greatest collection of his silent film lobby cards in existence...according to Michael Hawks who examined them and has a remarkable collection himself

All in all this group of 96 keaton lobby cards sold at Julien's today for over $90,000 after the hammer

while we do know that quite a few pieces from this sale originated with the Leonard Schrader collection, Sean and I were watching the auction today and he recognized that a number of items were sold by EMP in November. We both continued looking and found items they sold in October

I suggest there were others we did not match to a previous sale

Two items that sold on Nov 2, 2017 @ emp were the 8x10 still of Karloff from The Mummy, and a WC from Ghost of Frankenstein.

In Nov, the Mummy still sold for $1010.00: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/12426089.html

Yesterday, it went for $1597.00:

And the GOF WC sold for $1500.00 at its last go around at emp (the same card was also auctioned in March of 2017 for the same 1500.00 price tag): http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/GHOST%2520OF%2520FRANKENSTEIN/tag/xtype%253Awindow%2520card/archive.html

And yesterday, at Juliens, it also went for $1597.00

https://www.julienslive.com/m/lot-details/index/catalog/251/lot/100698?url=%2Fm%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F251%3Fpage%3D1%26view%3Dlist%26key%3Dghost%2520of%2520frankenstein%26sale%3Dundefined%26catm%3Dany%26order%3Dorder_num%26xclosed%3Dno%26featured%3Dno


So I wonder if the same person bought bought of these back in November with the purpose of sending them off to auction later? Or is it just coincidence? Or were they bought by 2 different bidders back in Nov?

there are way more items than just those 2, Jeff.

either Osians bought them to add images to the archive and sold them now that they don't need them or Osians or Juliens bought them for the auction as there may have been no horror posters. I think we counted upwards of 15 listings in easy searches

I'm sure that a number of the larger sized posters came from public offerings (other auctions) & acquisitions (possibly even other consignors besides Osian's) BUT in particular the early part of the auction were Schrader lobby cards....for example the 96 Keaton cards were from Schrader archive book 0159...it was the entire book....the Metropolis card and Sunrise cards were from the collection as well....Obviously the set of Schrader Dracula cards weren't in the auction as well as a bunch of the early Chaney's etc.

Makes sense, then, why they may be opting to spread the "poster/LC goodness" out among a couple auctions.

Tait is probably correct on the larger format posters, which brings us to a subject relating to 'false advertising'

I'm not looking at the website now, but the implication of their statement was that these posters were all from Osians

clearly, we know this to possibly be false, but there is no way for us to prove the facts anyway

Unless you make pre-arrangements to donate to a facility that is dedicated to preservation, it is going to be very difficult to prevent splitting it up.  Even if you managed to get the Smithsonian or Library of Congress to accept it, I am fairly certain they would sell off their duplicates.

Seems like there is a controversy every year or so where some museum has sold off a donated collection and the heirs sue.

Post by: erik1925 on March 09, 2018, 04:11:17 PM
Selling off duplicates I can understand. But are people told, before they choose to donate an entire collection, that there is the possibility it could be split up or sold off, down the road?

I'd think that this factoid would be mentioned initially to anyone donating, so that the current owner could then make a decision, based on having all the facts.

Interesting, nevertheless.

I'm right there with you on that....a mix of (potentially) false advertising and certainly not very effective advertising..I literally opened up a spam email last Thursday and saw all those Keaton cards after noticing a super rare Harold Lloyd one sheet (which only sold for $1250!!!)..

This auction wasn't on my radar at all..I literally knew right away what these lobby cards were (even though there was nothing to signify that they were originally from the Schrader archive)....you could imagine my surprise seeing these fantastic pieces being sold in 10-17 card lots instead of breaking them up and selling them over time as individual cards...I had to scramble to compete....luckily I won 1 great lot of Keaton pieces.... and I still fell short on 1 lot in particular that I really wanted....

In retrospect whoever won Lot 55  (9 lobby cards from THE GENERAL) for $10,000 made off like a bandit...those cards should be sold individually especially since they were in remarkable condition and fully hand colored in blue (which is a really significant detail)...The title card alone would probably sell at Heritage in the $4,000 range (me thinks)

In comparison Morrie sold 3 General lobby cards in the PIH auctions for nearly $6,000 alone

And not to beat a dead horse but Heritage sold 4 The Paleface cards (including title card) individually for nearly $7,500.... and Julien's sold 7 Paleface cards for for a measly $4,500!!!!!!

I didn't know about the auction until Sean messaged me mid-stream.

I saw the Fritz Lang pieces and went to register, but the registration process took so long that I missed both lots I wanted

I bid on a Chaney set, but lost that

Julien's has been auctioning movie posters and memorabilia for quite some time....they generally have a dedicated group of floor and phone bidders...they have a following of big pocket individuals who (most likely) work in the industry....they also hobnob at the prop/Pre auction exhibit before the event

As I was watching the auction there was a female floor bidder on the earlier lots that was going over high estimate on several lots and the auctioneer kept remarking on her spirited bidding...I thought that was interesting

OMG, what the heck was going on with the bidders in Bruce's auction tonight?  Looking atones I was bidding heavy and ones I had decided to let go.
It seemed to me that a large percentage of the actions went into extended time.  I saw a couple of items where the bidder waited until 10 seconds left and then put in a bid bump of $10.  When that didn't work, they waited 4 minutes and bumped it another $10.

Don't these bidders understand the concept of extended time proxy bidding?  The top bid shown is unlikely to be the max bid at that point, and bidding it up $10 simply extends the bidding by another 5 minutes for no purpose.  I really wish Bruce's rules didn't extend bidding unless the new bid was enough to change high bidder.  Grrr.

I must admit I am some upset because one of these clowns took a poster where my max bid was about 40% over the proxy bid at the 5 minute mark and kept raising it 6 times over the next 30 minutes until he beat me down.  I try to be a reasonable and courteous bidder.  I know I will get outbid sometimes and accept that.  But this micky mouse kaka really pissed me off.

BTW, it wasn't just that bid.  Way too much went 2-4 rounds into extended bidding tonight.

I can only answer part of your query, though not sure why all the questions matter. People sell things all the time, estate planning, get tired of it, want something else, whatever. It's not unusual at all.
But as to why the price went up - money isn't that big an issue to a billionaire that wants to impress his Hollywood friends.

I had one of those idiots go after an item I wanted a few auctions ago.  He did it three or four times, and then I stopped watching.  I checked after the auction was over and I had won it, and he did it 12 times, all within 10 seconds of the end of the item.  Can't figure out why, so I call it pure stupidity.

I guess I should defend myself here as an “idiot” because I do this “stupidity” all the time.  Let’s say you have 3 posters you want in an auction, A, B and C.  You’ve budgeted at $150 overall but don’t know how high the posters will go for various reasons.  If you put in a max bid at $50 each on A, B, and C, you are quickly outbid and you get nothing.  You can’t put a max of 100 or 150 on each because you run the risk of blowing the bank altogether, e.g. let’s say you win all 3 at $133, $140 and $125, you’ve just spent $398! 

So yes you have to play out one auction at a time, and keep doing so until you can land (possibly) one of the posters safely within more or less your price range.  When the posters are all closing within minutes (or seconds) of each other, it gets even more tricky. So in short, your purchasing poster A, B or C are entirely interrelated, and (real) time bound.  Another variable is that you always go over your budget (we all do, right?) so the $150 you started with may actually become 175 or $200 “in the heat of the moment”, which means, yes, you bump up the bid to see if your “last I swear THE LAST” increment will be the one to make the difference. 

There’s also the fact that you can play this AGAINST someone who is also in a somewhat similar situation (e.g chasing different posters closing at different times, but also only able to afford a limited number) I know this because 1- I’ve done it, but also because 2- its happened to me.  Imagine the above described scenario, but when you are chasing 10, or 20 posters... 5 minutes goes by real fast and next thing you know, by the time you get back to one particular poster, the bloody auction has closed. That is why I bid when only 5 minutes + 3 seconds left, so it doesn't get sent to extended time, and I might catch the other guy off guard and snag it from right under his nose.

All this to say its a bit more nuanced than that fellas.  Glad I could enlighten you. 

Besides, if you guys are putting your high bid in and going to bed, why is it so irritating that it goes to extended time a few times? hmmm.gif

I think the perplexing part is more so the fact that the bids are placed within 10 seconds of the end (which just adds another 5 min).  You cannot catch someone off guard when they have an extra 5 min each time! ;).  That's why on eMovie really your "best bid" should be placed at the 5 min mark before the item ends (and before extended bidding kicks in)...my thoughts anyways

Post by: Crazy Vick on March 27, 2018, 12:29:32 AM
for me my "best bid" is a moving target constantly throughout the auction, so "when" I bid on poster B depends on when I may be outbid on posters A and/or C, and then get back to poster B in time to bid again.

The person who did it to me did it 10 times within the last 10 seconds.  I understand your predicament, but it still doesn't make sense.  You mean to say that you ONLY know what's going on with your other auctions within 10 seconds of the end of an item?

i don't know about 10 times but yes at times, if someone outbids me late, then I am "off" to another one of my target posters, to raise my bid elsewhere by another increment, which might mean re-visiting a few different auctions where an increment increase will hopefully result in me being the high bidder (at least for a time)  Again the process itself of re-evaluating several ongoing auctions ending quasi-simultaneously takes a few seconds/minutes, so when i do bid again its in my interest that it be as close as possible to the end of extended time.  Why?  Because it buys me some time to keep playing.  It keeps as many of my posters "alive" so I can figure out where i can win one.  Why would I bid at 5 minutes ?  Then I only have 5 minutes to play with.  Much better to bid when there are 5 seconds left as I've "bought" myself a total of 9 minutes and 55 seconds, get it?

And Chris re "You cannot catch someone off guard when they have an extra 5 min each time!" i think you can. Like I said if you have a small budget but large poster fetish, you can get caught off guard...  Plus, there comes a time when you have to "let a poster go" because you can't bid on it because you're currently a high bidder elsewhere...so you watch the extended clock run out and you let it go, only to get outbid on the other one - jesusfuckingchrist - then you wish you had been able to buy some additional time on the one you let go, had you known, to give it one more shot.

Again what permeates this whole discussion which i cannot stress enough is THE outlier, the heat of the moment factor, the "no f-ing way i'm NOT getting this poster" funny thingling sensation that bubbles at first then turns into internal fire-rage etc... which also results in last second "fuck it" and bidding one more time.

Well, think about that, then.  It pisses off the other party.  I know I have overpaid on items just to make sure the 10 seconds joker doesn't win.  So I'm not 100% sure it works in your favor.  It feels like someone doesn't understand the rules of the game (the idiot) or is fucking with me.  Either way, I won't let that individual win or if he does, I will make sure he pays a lot more than he should have.  So much for a small budget.

I was surprised to see the S2 Mummy at EMP go for almost twice the price of a new one at Rue Royale where they're printed. The other S2s went for about retail there. Except the one I wanted, the Chaplin. It went for a little over half the RR retail. Which is why I thought I was so lucky to get it - until I checked ebay and found one on sale for the same price. Doh! Still happy I grabbed it though - I'd rather the cash went to Bruce anyway.

Sorry to bring this back up days later.  I was in the hospital without access :(

Sorry, Vick.  I don't buy your strategy.  If you have 3 cards coming close to your budget and you are approaching the 5 minute mark, it is time to do some triage.  If there are active bidders, it is time to decide which 1 (or 2) you really want and put your resources there.  The odds of winning all three are nil, and I would end up feeling worst if I won my #3 choice simply because it closed last.

The lobby in my first post was for a High Society title card.  I was high with $150 with 10 seconds to go.  I finally let the guy have it at $220.  Normally, I wouldn't have bid much more than the $150, but the guy pissed me off.  I made him pay $50 more than Bruce has ever auctioned that card for.

Post by: Crazy Vick on March 30, 2018, 09:11:01 PM
What I don't buy is how keeping an auction going by raising the increment (which is essentially what an auction is) can be considered annoying or stupid. 

On ebay you HAVE TO put in your max bid no matter what because the auction hammers down exactly at a given time, so make sure your max bid is in by that time or you lose.  But on emovie you don't have to do that, you can simply raise the increment and keep the auction going, ie, what an auction is supposed to be like for those who've gone to real auctions. 

If poster A is currently at $100, why would i "commit" to a max $200 bid if I don't have to? All that does in handcuff me vis-a-vis potential "other posters"... I would have to wait until the poster A auction is done to see if I win or not, before bidding again elsewhere so i run the risk of losing out elsewhere.  Makes more sense to drag it out, wait it out, keep some options on the table etc. If that's annoying to others, well, all's fair in love and posters...

And Jay, as weird as it sounds i hope you were in the hospital visiting someone else who was ill

I agree 100%.  Whoever bids within the last 10 seconds will pay.  I understand if you do it once, but if you keep doing it, I will make sure you end up paying way more than you should because the way I see it, you're fucking with me.

I never bid early, I bid at the 5 minute mark, a few seconds before if I can, and if someone overbids me and I still want the item, I bid within 5 seconds of receiving the email.

So did you just put in 70 more right away or did you raise the increment back and forth a few times up to 220?

In any case I just wanted to clarify some of the reasoning behind last minute bidding, despite you and T seeing it as a personal affront...;D

Being a huge POTOpera (Chaney version) fan, I will look for and see what items might have come up or been sold in various places, whether they be posters, stills, or other scarce memorabilia.

Last night I came across this item that had been sold a few months back on emp. It's described as a modern re-strike photo created from an original negative from the film. When seeing this item for the first time last night, I knew the image looked familiar, but couldnt quite place where I had seen it. After doing a little more hunting around, I found what I was looking for.

This item is not a photographic re-strike from an original film negative from the 1925 movie. But a reproduced (and poorly, color-altered) scan of another piece of original artwork. 

It only sold for $14.00 last November.

The original of this item is an original oil painting, done by artist Daniel Horne, back in 2005 or so. He does amazing work, too, btw. (http://www.danielhornestudios.com/)

Here's Horne's original work, as a comparison:  notworthy.gif

There's nothing particularly interesting about the poster - although I love the "Notify by Owl" advisory - it is simply that with the absurdly low number of posters, the millions of Harry Potter fans and certain generational demand for such an item in the future this one is going to continue to increase in value.

Hi Eric, When the first Argentinean one sold, it was the only known large poster, right?  Since then three more large posters have come to public sale, including this one.  I was wondering, too, if it would sell.  Very cool image, though I've alway been concerned if a print of the movie is found would it hold up?  If it didn't hold up, how would that effect auction demand?  Of course there is always vice versa as well, eh?  Okie

Hi Eric, When the first Argentinean one sold, it was the only known large poster, right?  Since then three more large posters have come to public sale, including this one.  I was wondering, too, if it would sell.  Very cool image, though I've alway been concerned if a print of the movie is found would it hold up?  If it didn't hold up, how would that effect auction demand?  Of course there is always vice versa as well, eh?  Okie

Makes you wonder, for sure, okie. Ive read some reviews of LAM, from even back in the day, where the critics werent kind to it, saying it was a bit of a potboiler and slow/corny in spots. I think the mystique lies in the dual role of Chaney, especially when, in the movie, he dresses as this vampire character, in order to solve a murder (i think it was).

And to see that fave/character/makeup in action, so to speak, rather than just as still shots.

If a copy was ever found, I think people would be very happy to know that one of the holy grails of the lst, silent cinema had been found. And, who knows... finding a print and having it out in the public, could drive material like this Arg OS price higher? or could have the opp. effect.

Would be interesting to see, and know, in the least case.

One thing is for certain if anyone has Casablanca paper they have been holding and looking for the right to sell/consign
NOW is the time to do so given all the results over the past year or so. 

Today this re-release daybill sold for $20,000 with BP or MORE THAN what the much better original release has sold for recently (WTF!). 
I mean I know Bogie's bright red lipstick and disembodied Bergman are enticing but come on...

This used to be a sub-$1,000 alternative to the original - is this just an anomalous result?  Who the hell knows anymore...

Extremely jealous of the Filibi posters, would love to have either one were I still in acquisition mode.

The whole Casablanca thing baffles me as well. Obviously it's an iconic movie but the recent run on posters makes me think there's a swinging dick contest between (at least) two people with more money than brains.

Jeff, there is much hype surrounding LAM because it is a lost Lon Chaney film with intriguing screen shots.  As you noted, the contemporary reviews were not good, and its "remake" -- "Mark of the Vampire" -- was average.  I tend to think that when the film sees the light of day, and after the excitement of the discover wears off and people realize that it is not that great of a film, the high prices paid for LAM paper will never be recovered.

Exactly, Matthew. The fact that the last known prints of LAM have now been gone so many decades only adds to the allure. And withe only the great stills to go by, everyone is chomping at the bit, hoping a print (or even a reel) might be uncovered or discovered in some archive somewhere.

Here's hoping, whether it be good, lousy or something in between.  prayer.gif

I got two today on HA--one I really wanted and one I already have (but can NOT find anywhere). I'll post them soon in my thread. Also, did anyone follow the Potter & Potter? ARGH! I was close on their INVISIBLE MAN'S REVENGE (argh!), but THOUGHT I won their Italian DINOSAURUS. I was the first bid at $100. When i got home from work I see there was a second bid...also for $100 and that person apparently WON it. How is that possible? Here is the link: http://auctions.potterauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?inventoryid=7903 (http://auctions.potterauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?inventoryid=7903).

Almost $18 grand for a Harry Potter 1-sheet???? That's stupid, crazy money. It looks like any CASABLANCA paper is going for big bucks. The '49 reissue insert goes for $28 grand plus?? Wow! I remember a time during the late 60's thru the late 70's when the Bogie cult was at it's height you couldn't find any decent paper on him without spending big bucks, but nothing like this. Surprising the Argentine LAM went unsold. And Mr. Bond keeps on rolling along splendidly. Heritage hits it out of the park again.

Cabmangray---That's what I thought about the Harry Potter poster at first, too...but it's a lenticular, which are rarer and in 3D---NOT paper. Still a bit pricey though...

By the way, can you tell me something about the Bond combo-quad? I normally "don't do Bond" . Only other one I have for myself is the Man With Golden Gun quad as Moore in those days looks so much like my dad.

Post by: cabmangray on April 09, 2018, 02:11:23 PM
The SPY/LALD quad was one of many British reissues. If you want a large image of Moore, that one is a good choice.
Basically the Bonds were frequently reissued together in just about every conceivable combination. 2 Connery's, 2 Moore's, Moore/Connery, Connery/Lazenby, Connery/Eastwood, Moore/Pink Panther, etc. I think the reissues ended in the late 1980's, when Timothy Dalton took over. Simes can give you a better rundown on them than I can. Over to you, Simon......

Not that anyone cares, but in regards to the Potter & Potter auction for the Italian DINOSAURUS, where I had already bid $100 and someone else got it later for the same bid price, I got a response.

I had sent this note:
Hello. I am a little confused. I was unable to participate in the live version of this auction and placed several bids a few days ago. One of them was lot 66. I was the first bidder to bid $100. Apparently someone else bid $100 during the auction. Apparently they also "won" the item. How is that possible when I had the previous bid for the same amount? Thank you for your assistance.

This was the reply:
Shawn,

The auctioneer can only acknowledge one bid at the time - if there is a tie, the auctioneer's decision is the final word. Whoever he acknowledges as the winner buys the item.

Best Regards,

Gabe Fajuri

couldn't you have say...bid $20 more than the minimum bid if you really wanted the poster?
Sometimes bidding more than the opening bid goes a long way in securing a win.

CROWZILLA and RICH, Thanks. Losing a tie does suck. (I was first---it should have been me. But whatever...). Yes, i should have/could have bid more, but I had bid so much more on their other items (all of which i lost) and the HA auctions, I was stretched kind of thin. Oh well. my bad. My loss. But I did score two on HA...even though I paid too much for them. (Probably).

Grief, not at all.  Poster-wise, I stick to just the quads and 1 Sheets in an aim to maintain some parenthetic control over the spending and the space.

As to your second point, if Quad and 1 Sheet focus is a definition of best (or let's say, most complete) then mayyyyybe  :-\   If one asks for a variety of art, sizes, countries and the like, then not at all.

But thanks for the comment.

The SPY/LALD quad was one of many British reissues. If you want a large image of Moore, that one is a good choice.
Basically the Bonds were frequently reissued together in just about every conceivable combination. 2 Connery's, 2 Moore's, Moore/Connery, Connery/Lazenby, Connery/Eastwood, Moore/Pink Panther, etc. I think the reissues ended in the late 1980's, when Timothy Dalton took over. Simes can give you a better rundown on them than I can. Over to you, Simon......

That reminds me a lot of Hergé.  Really cool.

Thanks!  It does have a action-comic feel for sure... my wife loved it immediately and mentioned it looked like a (6.5' tall!) panel straight out of a adventure comic book. 

But I hadn't considered the Hergé connection.  On this wikipedia page it said Hergé's early work and influences were from the 1920s and 1930s -- which would mean this 1919 Italian predates even them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_claire

I'm curious if anyone else has run into designs like this from the teens or earlier...  Apparently the film was very much ahead of it's time.  I wouldn't be surprised if the art was as well.

For those also interested, the Bonds were also paired with other films. There were quads made for

YOLT / FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
GOLDFINGER / A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS
THUNDERBALL / HANG 'EM HIGH
DAF / GOLD (Roger Moore & Susanna York goldmine flick)

Since 2010, the registration method, as laid out in the forum, is to send an email with one's desired username to apfholiday@gmail.com

He's never written requesting to join, so the reg. process could not "have let him down." ;)

I would think that a COA from an auction house like Hakes has some meaning. Their last auction took in $2.35 million.

It's the COAs that people print in their basements, and include with their ebay sales, that are totally worthless.

I don't think ANY COA has any validity, because there is NO WAY to know FOR SURE.  ZERO.  NADA.  RIEN.  NONE.  I think I've said it before, but I have a friend who can forge ANY signature to perfection after seeing it only once.  It's a skill and I'm sure he's not the only one.

Since this specific poster, the Hildebrandt that is, was quickly replaced by the Chantrell, would it have actually made it into the tube, Mark?

I was talking generally about the specific siting of trimmed posters in the Underground. I think it more likely than not that the Hildebrant quads were used in tube stations. Virtually all openings and initial screenings for movies are in London West End cinemas and this was the first quad for Star Wars. The fact that so few survive, and most of those are trimmed, would suggest they were pasted on to the walls for one-time use only.

I spoke to Mark Barrow who was the person who referred to 'lift bills' in a conversation along with trimmed quads.

he said that I mixed up our conversation and that a lift bill was abut 16x22 inches and were pasted up in lifts and by escalators, while the trimmed quads were all in the tube station.

If you've ever been on the London Underground, this is the sort of thing you would see (per lift bill sizing):

There were about 7 really prime Charlie Chan lots that sold for roughly $1200 a piece (some for less)....over the past 2 years or so Bruce has been selling individual cards from those lots for ludicrous prices...I won 2 lots and was underbidder on 3 of them...I have always regretted not going all out on them...on average I think the break down for each each card was around $150 each...

Yeah.  I looked at the results and 25 of the 141 lobby lots went for $1k or more.  I had a dozen on my radar and when the smoke cleared, I had to settle for three.  It tore my heart out to let a couple of those go, especially the King Vidor's Hallelujah card, but at those prices, triage was necessary.

Yeah, but as we all know so well, it takes two to tango or to bid something way up.  That means at least two people wanted these very badly.

Sold three weeks ago but still semi-interesting. Lessons:

1) You can generally win auctions of extremely-rare MPs for significantly less on eBay compared to HA/EMP;

2) Occasionally eBay sellers “don’t know what they’re selling”;

3) Often eBay sellers leave “money on the table” for various reasons.

This is a very rare international art-deco silkscreen 1S that has recently auctioned for $5K+ on HA.

I emailed the seller, who informed me that he had randomly found it at the bottom of a box of folded MPs, he made no effort to research it or its price history, and just auctioned it on eBay with very limited info. Lame-o.

But it immediately hit the Collectors Watch most-watched MP list, where I noticed it.

With the missing paper and extra folds, $2.8 ain’t bad. But why not (1) research it and write a detailed description mentioning prior sales and rarity; (2) LB/repair it for $200 and list it as a $5K BIN for six months; or (3) consign it if doesn’t sell at a profitable BIN price? Mystery....

It's so funny to see all these posters at Emovie that would have sold for 1/4-1/3 of their final price if it wasn't for that two bidders who fought it out.

2001: 3 bidders from $2k to 9k.
Victory or Death: 2 bidders from $2k to 8k.
2001: 2 bidders from $2k to 5K.

That's really all it takes.  Probably the same on all these high priced Casablanca posters at HA.  Just 2 people.  Our hobby = 2 people.

Then, thank goodness, there are still some beautiful posters that don't necessarily break the bank.  I was glad to buy these three in Bruce's Spring 2018 auction:

Pa Solsidan by Anselmo Ballester $375
Intermezzo by Eric Rohman $274
Frontier Pony Express, 3 sheet, 1939, Roy Rogers six guns drawn! $130

I'm sure glad beauty is in the eye etc., etc., and many eyes beheld elsewhere!

Most of this has changed now with digital advertising, though.
Trimmed quads = tube stations (mostly!).

thanks Adam.
during my re-discussion with Mark, and my sharing this poster with him and on his group, we determined it was most likely a life bill and seeing the play dates in the bottom bottom space on the posters in the photo, I totally agree with him. I had thought it was a Crown size, but it's actually smaller than a Crown

....they are mostly Morrie Everett Auction lots!!
There were about 7 really prime Charlie Chan lots that sold for roughly $1200 a piece (some for less)....

I got 2 of those lots and was trying to get 3. Someone wanted Charlie Chan at the Race Track more than I could bear. I was quite surprised with one of the lots, the one that had Charlie Chan in Monte Carlo, which is like race track, gambling. It had 6 cards from that title and when I brought it home to see if the 2 cards I already had were able to upgrade, I found that they were the other 2 cards, making the set, which I hadn't checked prior to the auction

Awesome!!  I'm glad you got a few of them!  At this point it's really challenging to get an entire set together of any of the Oland Chan films..

So far 3 of the cards have so far sold from lot #791 of Part II (which closed at $1200 after BP) ate Emovieposter for $4729!!

they sure are as is a tremendous amount of material that we used to see in all hobbies, due to black hole collections.

some material that had been fairly common is now impossible to find, until collections are broken up & sold.

that Chan stuff from 1934 and earlier has always been impossible to locate though, except for some odd items, like Charlie Chan's Courage window cards. I'd been looking for the HS to Monte Carlo for years - at a price that I felt fair (probably not going to happen), so getting the cards for a very fair price really pleased me.

sadly, I was unable to win even a single lot of the Horse Racing lots. They went totally crazy.

Oh my stars! I was quite surprised/shocked to see the closing price of a certain poster on eMovie tonight. It is for a cheesy/sleazy/awful/laughable 70's horror flick from Mexico called "Night of a Thousand Cats". Sure, I have the movie and I totally dig the schlocky poster artwork (and have a copy or two myself). But really? $363 for that? HA!  Too funny.

Here's the closed auction link:

Here is what the poster looks like (found online---not the auction photo or a picture of my copy):

(http://www.shockcinemamagazine.com/night.jpg)

$363?  I buy crap like that all of the time---because I dig it---but NOT for $363. Jeepers!

Hi.  Question please about prices.  I have historically collected lobby cards, and most recently have gotten into posters.  I posted in another thread recently how I thought EMP had gotten much more expensive, and perhaps just auctions in general over the last year.  To help me get a grasp about this, I wanted to ask you about the auction result for the "Woman on the Run" OS auctioned last night on EMP for $155.  Here is the poster:

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&auction_uid1=5039936 (http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&auction_uid1=5039936)

I had watched this poster but in the end was way off base in terms of what I envisioned the end price would be, which is overall symptomatic of a lot of the posters I see.  "Woman on the Run" is not a mainstream film, and while it has gotten more popularity after being restored by the Film Noir Foundation and released by Flicker Alley, it still is not in the mainstream rank.  This poster has darkened a good bit, has significant fold tears and some paper loss.  Can I ask the opinion of you guys who are pros at this.  At auction start, would you have envisioned a poster of this title and condition going for $155.  It is possible that I just don't understand the poster market well enough yet.  I am very happy for the person who got it, and not meaning to insult in any way the person who paid $155 for it, and I just very surprised and looking to get some opinions.

Thanks,
Matthew

There are 2 or 3 bidders at Emovie right now who don't seem to care about pricing, condition or even buying the same poster over and over again,.  They just bid with no apparent logic.  Going against them is a challenge because they can go way above what a poster is worth, way above what a poster historically sold for, with no sign of stopping.  I always set very strict parameters on myself when I bid and I'm glad I do because I would have totally overspent on several occasions.

Here's something to think about guys:

Movie posters are becoming, or have become, a legitimate purchase for many particularly for businesses.
What I find interesting is the rise in businesses buying posters in general, not because they can put the posters down as expenses or whatever, but because many have to spend £x in order to save £x in tax. Therefore, in actuality, the posters aren't costing anything as long as they don't spend more than is required by them per tax purposes, in which case whatever the poster resells at is 100% profit. The cost of the poster then becomes irrelevant, which is annoying for anyone not in their position!

It could also be a Dennis O'Keefe collector or suspense / film noir / B movie collector who needs to fill a hole in their collection and wanted it more than anyone else. The graphics could also make 2 collectors go head to head. But you're right; in that condition the price is a little steep but I bet the consigner isn't complaining.

Post by: jayn_j on May 09, 2018, 01:55:18 PM
You never can tell when 2 bidders get caught up in the chase.  There are a couple of outliers in every auction lately.

I have found that prices on emovieposter tend to be somewhat cyclic.  They went crazy in the late 90s and then cooled off.  They seem to be rising again the last 2-3 years, but...

There is also the factor of the era of the poster vs the age of the collector.  80's was really hot in recent years, but seems to be cooling a bit, while 90s stuff is rising.

You can't give away western posters, but when I started, they were at a premium.  And the pre-1970 stuff is mostly junk that goes for pennies.  But certain titles command huge prices.  There seems to be a big gap between the two classes.

I had watched this poster but in the end was way off base in terms of what I envisioned the end price would be, which is overall symptomatic of a lot of the posters I see. 

I agree that price seems off-base compared to historical average, as does the Night of a 1,000 Cats which Go-Go pointed out (EMP offered the Cats title five times last year and it never once climbed over $100).

But for each of those two which are on the high side, I can show you two more that were on the low side from last week
The Window Card from The Raven that EMP sold last week which ended at $4,010 was originally sold by Heritage in 2009 where it sold for $19,120 (https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/horror/the-raven-universal-1935-window-card-14-x-22-/a/7003-86527.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515).
On the less extreme side, the High School Hellcats that EMP sold last night for $256 was the least expensive out of the last 10 copies they sold (average price on the title is almost $100 more than last night's price).

By page 6 of last night's EMP auctions, everything was $20 or less, so once again you are very close to the historical average of 60% of their items sell for $20 or less, and you still had almost 200 pieces sell for $5 or less.

It's always easy to focus on the one or two items that sell for an extreme price one way or the other, but it really doesn't seem like the sky is falling or that prices are spiraling skyward.

This is also true.  When it comes to certain area of my collection, if I need a specific piece and if it doesn't come up too often, I will pay whatever I have to pay.  There is no limit and I won't be beat.

I had watched this poster but in the end was way off base in terms of what I envisioned the end price would be, which is overall symptomatic of a lot of the posters I see.  "Woman on the Run" is not a mainstream film, and while it has gotten more popularity after being restored by the Film Noir Foundation and released by Flicker Alley, it still is not in the mainstream rank.  This poster has darkened a good bit, has significant fold tears and some paper loss.  Can I ask the opinion of you guys who are pros at this.  At auction start, would you have envisioned a poster of this title and condition going for $155.  It is possible that I just don't understand the poster market well enough yet.  I am very happy for the person who got it, and not meaning to insult in any way the person who paid $155 for it, and I just very surprised and looking to get some opinions.

Thanks,
Matthew

Somebody (or somebodies) really want paper on Woman on the Run lately.  All the 1/2 sheets that Movieposterexhange have been auctioning on the title over the last few months have gone for more than I would have expected too.  Possibly a coincidence...or maybe not!

You never give it a rest do you? learn to take a joke sometimes. You're the one who said always, not me. I was just having fun there.

And sorry, but pointing out that someone is purposefully selling a fake after being told it's a fake, isn't bashing.
If it was any other seller, you would be piling on yourself.

2nd tier film noir. actually quite a good film. Poster used to sell very well at 100+, and any copy in nice condition is a rarity as the paper stock on this title browns quickly (just like City that Never Sleeps)

Sometimes I buy something on a whim, like the Thunderball 6sht.  I had no intention to buy it until I bought it.  Result: I overpaid.  Now Bruce is selling one.  6 more days and I will be banging my head against the wall.

Very True... and there were a handful of pieces that sold in Tuesday's Emovie Lobby Card auction that were total anomalies...you cant reasonably expect to use them as "guides" for pricing similar items or expect them to fetch anything close to that again....take for instance this lobby card that I consigned:

http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/5997853.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/5997853.html)

There is no way I would have ever expected it to go for even half that amount....I'm pleased it sold for so much considering I paid about $30 for it a few years ago on ebay....but I cant reasonably expect to consign other Harold Lloyd cards from the silent era and expect to get a similar result...and it would be similarly silly for other sellers/dealers to now price them in that range...imho

I usually try to follow the strict parameter that I set for a poster that I find at the beginning of an auction.  That is what led to my question because for a good amount of time, I was able to do fairly well sticking to those parameters.  Not always.  I would lose some bids by sticking to my guns.  Or, like you, there were some that I would go higher for because I really wanted them.  But lately I have stuck to my parameters and most often come up short.

It was interesting the analysis of how much percentage went for $20 and below, etc.  Perhaps I am just focusing these days on higher end posters....although I don't really call "Woman on the Run" higher end.  And yes, the 1/2 sheets on Movieposterexchange, and on ebay, have been selling high lately for that title.  Curious that there is such interest in this title, although as I mentioned I also like it and it is considered in the Noir genre.  But, if I were to buy a OS of "Woman on the Run", I would not buy a poster in that condition unless it went cheap.  And if that poor quality OS went for $155, then likely a very good OS is out of what I would be comfortable paying for that title. 

And I also noted the curious comment that this particular movie title's paper darkens considerably.  Interesting.  Is that true for all of the paper, i.e. 1/2 sheets, OS's, 3SH's?  I never knew that.

Oh my stars! I was quite surprised/shocked to see the closing price of a certain poster on eMovie tonight. It is for a cheesy/sleazy/awful/laughable 70's horror flick from Mexico called "Night of a Thousand Cats". Sure, I have the movie and I totally dig the schlocky poster artwork (and have a copy or two myself). But really? $363 for that? HA!  Too funny.

Here's the closed auction link:

Here is what the poster looks like (found online---not the auction photo or a picture of my copy):

That card was on my radar, but it quickly went over my price before I bid on anything.
Still, it was an auction that was on fire.  Of the 174 lobbies, 25 went for over $1k and double that over $500.
That's too many to be a fluke.  Granted, there were 2-3 deep pockets out there that were driving prices up, but that auction was also filled with unicorns and the prices reflected it.

Maybe, I don’t know, I’m not going to get my copy for a few months.  Either way, I don’t think it matters that much on something this big.  On a one sheet, for sure, but not on a six sheet.  If there is a tear, I’ll fix it myself before I shove it in a drawer.

realistically, what anyone else wants to pay should be meaningless. You paid what you paid because you wanted to buy it. Why should you need validation that someone else will pay more?

Sean and I discuss all the time our expectations about selling our collections and neither one of us ever expects to get out in a positive manner, but all the time in between now & when I lose my money, I'm enjoying the stuff that I own and fortunately, I like to look at my stuff - even when it's packed away.

Because if you read my previous posts I bought the 6sht on a whim.  I had just been overbid on something big, can't remember what now, and wanted to get something else right away.  That poster was it, not something I truly desired.  Then after the fact I was like, shit, I spent too much money on this (I hate spending too much money) so it's good to see that I didn't after all, and if anything, got it at the right price.  I was just answering my own post from a week ago.

IMHO no one should discuss a PENDING auction - the spoils should go to those who take the time to find the good auction deals!

Ferris Bueller International one sheet for $1,112 - WTF!

It sounds like the combination of the green ratings box AND it being a rolled copy makes it quite rare.

And rarity will get the bidders going, that's for sure.

And what is the style with the "white rating" that you have? In looking at emp's auction history, they have offered both folded and rolled OS with the "black" and "green" ratings box, but never a copy with a "white" version.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/TARANTULA-27x40-UK-Quad-Vintage-Movie-Poster-Original-1955-/222758240702?hash=item33dd6d01be%3Ag%3ATqwAAOSw4PxaNSjh&nma=true&si=vaCX2z%252BDHoCuxGPr%252F8Wd6O2n99A%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/TqwAAOSw4PxaNSjh/s-l1600.jpg)


Looking at the completed listing, it shows that this item sold for $15,400.00 (and was originally listed at $22K), with an added $329.00 mailing fee.

But when using one of the online sites/tools that will show what an item actually sold for, it turns out that this poster went for $2750.00 (it was a Best Offer that was accepted), so quite a difference from the published, "SOLD" price listed on ebay itself.

  Thanks, Jeff.  I've always wondered what the actual selling price was on some items that listed an unbelievable sold price.  It's weird to me that "untrue" selling prices can be shown as supposed fact.  Not good for the hobby.  Okie

I wonder if when a Best Offer is submitted to a seller, say, after a listing closes, if the ebay software has no way to rectify or update that? I mean... think about the final value fee  a seller has to pay on $15K versus $2750.00, too.

A HUGE difference.  faint2.gif

Another by tloce, selling for a reduced price of $4250.00 (discounted from $8500.00, and not a Best Offer).

And with nothing more than the typical, smaller, poorly lit photo that was not even "zoomable."

Amazing.  :o

Still don't 'get' 30x40s, when they aren't UK quads.

Did they have special boxes to fit 'em in as well, or were they more for pinning up?

30x40s are on cardstock, so can be used in outdoor advertising, or pinned up in public places.

In other news, I was bidding, albeit momentarily on 50 Bond US press stills from the Connery to Moore era.  Only six or so stills shown, some were duplicates.

I got as far as $500.  Went for $3750 Hammer with $1050 BP.

I actually have no words for this.  $100 per still!

Rich, did you get to see them in person?

And with the set estimated at $2-3K, and then selling for $20K, is another awesome example of a classic, bidding war between 2 people that just HAD to have these photos. And that they were right from Lang's personal collection was a HUGE plus, too.

held them in my greasy paws.

on reserves.. they are really meaningless on most items at Profiles

they purposely start so much at just $200. It's much like starting a $5000 poster at $1
you know it won't go for $1

Their auctions results have been discussed many times before of course (I think most recently here - http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,12925.msg231622.html#msg231622), but the way it is laid out here really shows what remarkable growth they have gone in the last decade.

Their weekly auctions average price is about $100 per lot. It's amazing to do that kind of volume and maintain an average like that.
The signature auctions are even more impressive and show how Heritage's efforts to grow the market are really paying off.  The earliest ones on your list did $700-800K and had 500-600 buyers, now Heritage's offerings regularly obtain 2.5-3x that dollar number and 2.5x the number of participants.

Is it any wonder that they are the undisputed leader in posters auctions? I think I've said before that if you add up the number of $100K individual poster sales from every auction house, not only has Heritage sold 85% of them, but that they've sold 25% of them in the last year or so.

I’m kinda giving up on their weekly auctions.  I can’t afford anything there anymore.  It all goes for way above what it’s worth.  I’ll still do the Sig auctions, because there are less people bidding $5k plus, but the small ones are just impossible.

This Style B half sheet for Casablanca sold thru HA and was also listed on ebay, with its live auction, on Sunday, April 15th, in HA's Entertainment & Music Memorabilia Signature Auction, just one week after their Movie Poster Signature Auction. 

It sold for a high, winning bid of $45,000.00 ($56,250.00 with the added BP)  clap clap clap

Just gets mo' popular. Kinda like "Christmas Wrapping" song, it is one of the very few modern-era Christmas entertainment offerings with staying power:

I have three dopey thoughts about last night's auction:

(1) I bought/read bazillions of sci-fi books and this MP's artwork is very average.

(http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u536/HereComesMongo1968/HereComesMongo1968170/Screen%20Shot%202018-07-23%20at%2010.34.48%20PM_zpsu04dwenv.jpg)

(2) It's a lie! (Read taglines)

(http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u536/HereComesMongo1968/HereComesMongo1968169/lf-2_zps8az0mrbx.jpeg)

another unbelievable result.. I fail to see any reason people would not send their good posters to Heritage. I can't wait to see what they do for me this weekend (no. I won't tell you what I'm selling... well, afterwards, maybe)

It's all relative, but considering the title, art, uniqueness (assuming not many exist), size and provenance, I thought the buyer wpuld have been happy with the hammer price. I wonder what it might have gone for at an auction house with more US visibility?

A couple of days early to be appearing in the post-auction thread, but answering my own question from when we discussed the Back to the Future concept sale back in 2016 (which sold at Ewbanks for £700 hammer price)...looks like it's going to do well at Heritage:

I was happy to pay £700 for that Back to the Future poster at the time and even more so now given the Heritage one is currently at $4400. My copy is in much better condition.

No I DON'T.  Funny, I had this discussion with Mel yesterday.  To me, this is completely ludicrous.  We've already talked about it, but I find it ridiculous that people would spend money on REJECTED ART.  I mean, where does it end?  I already don't understand buying proof posters, but this takes the cake.  This art was rejected for a reason: It is not good.  The studio decided it didn't sell the movie and opted for something different.  When I was at DreamWorks, we trashed so many Gladiator mockups.  Dozens.  Who cares?  Agencies propose a bunch of different ideas and the best one gets chosen.  And now the rejected one sells for $5k, just because it's rare?  Hahaha... So stupid!!!

Sorry Mark, but I really don't get it.

Yes, but I bought it for $100, and even that seemed like a lot back then.

And it was Saul Bass, one of the most referenced movie poster artists of all times.

Yup, good point.

An advertising campaign is not decided upon based solely on art.  God only knows the recent Bonds have suffered there.  Bob Peak's concepts for Licence to Kill I would buy in a heart beat if affordable.

About which, I would love to know how artworks Were chosen for a campaign, especially when faced with a vastly superior alternative that did not make The Grade...

the #1 is when a star has final say. I have a big stack of such material for many titles and it becomes clear with some posters the star is saying "this poster doesn't focus enough on ME"

other times, the contractual agreements wind up with stuff like the Avengers poster that has something like 30 heads, as every star needs to be shown and the size & placement of their image may have to match another contractual issue.

then, you have the money man whose only consideration is "how big is my name on the poster" and "where are the explosions? I want explosions"

All of which is to say, concept art on This forum board, I think, should hold higher regard than the official output.  Which might make T think again...?

Shows the gret deals that can be had on ebay, for sure.

I just hope the poster is in the same condition as the pics in that auction show. According to the time stamps, the pix were all taken 12.5 years ago, on Jan 2, 2006. (Or maybe the cam reverted to a reset, default date?)  8)

Star Wars stuff was simply insane.  $20k for an Empire poster?
Everything was quickly going past my limits.
Surprised at how many of the original artwork items just never got bids.

and then one that I was sure would be blown away, and my pre-bid held.  Go figure.

What an amazing auction for Heritage this weekend. A big congratulations to Grey for continuing to be engine of growth for the hobby.
An auction with not even 950 lots (their smallest in quite some time) and where not even a single poster reached the $50,000 mark - let alone the $100,000 mark which they own, and yet still the auction brings in over $1.6 million in sales.
A staggering number.

so dig this folks..

2 weeks ago, Heritage sold a Casablanca 1949R international style

https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/academy-award-winner/casablanca-warner-brothers-r-1949-international-one-sheet-27-x-41-/a/7181-86042.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515

they got $12,000.00 for it.
I know exactly what this poster is, because I have had it. Heritage did indeed have this poster described correctly
When I first got the copy I had, I was a little confused because it's a poster that has had different descriptions.
HA actually sold it before as a military style, back in 2006, but I knew this had to be a mistake because the military did not get their posters printed by NSS - but it did have a clue - there was no NSS stamp on the back of the poster

to people who know their stuff, no NSS stamp on such a poster is in general a note that it is for international distribution.
So I did what any intelligent person would do - I went to ask someone who would know. Maybe the best expert I've ever known in movie posters - Dan Strebin and Dan immediately knew it was the international poster.

so now, last week, another copy was sold and I have absolutely no clue what-so-ever makes anyone come to the conclusion this poster is a commercial reprint and sells it for just $106.00

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=5149136

here is the Heritage copy

(http://www.comic-art.com/apf/casa_1949_ha.jpeg)

and here is a 1949R regular style

(http://www.comic-art.com/apf/casa_1949.jpg)

here is a comparison side by side of a 1949 & the copy sold for $106 that I have colorized to try to match it.
I have no idea how anyone can think the one on the right is a reproduction of the one on the left.
The tonal qualities of the 3 color poster cannot be matched, nor can parts of the image in general

"The poster was created by photographing a 1949 re-release one-sheet that had noticeable fold wear, so this poster does as well, but it is in the printing and not a defect. "

did you read my post & look at the comparative images: there is no way the one poster is a reproduction of the other poster.
moreover, my bet is that his mention about the foldeds reproduced is mistaken, just like that Funny Face 6 sheet he just sold that was mis-described in 2012 as not having a fake panel

there's nothing with making mistakes, because you can as a human, but there is a difference between a mistake and a blunder.

I've never bid against either of them, but 70mm Widescreen made a decent haul. He seems to swoop in at the last minute and nab the nicest goodies. Noah27 did well, too. Price doesn't seem to matter, either. Kind of reminds me of "Raziz3009" who cleaned up on Bruce's big Bond auction in 2012. He nabbed just about all the major pieces to the tune of about $22,000 in just that auction alone!

This quad never appears at auctions but the seller failed to list it on UK Ebay, where it would have done much better, even though damaged, only 9 watchers on US Ebay:

I have a copy of this poster, buying it around the time of he film's original release, but it's pretty beat up. I also got it signed by Robert Englund - back before I knew that in movie poster collector world that's a bit of a no-no.

I guess it could be helped through linen-backing, but I'm not sure what would happen to the Sharpie sig.

If you had it signed by Englund and you were there when he signed it, then it's yours to keep and enjoy and tell the story of how you got the signature. 

I would not buy it because I don't trust signatures unless I am there in person to witness the moment.  But a lot of folks don't seem to care, and I'm guessing the Englund signature would add value to your poster should you decide to sell it.

Yeah, I don't get these people.  They seem to be loaded, for sure, but they also buy the same posters over and over again, regardless of condition.  Tears, holes, nothing seems to matter to them and they usually greatly overpay on items that would sell at half price if they were not around.  To each his own, I guess.

So for one hundred bucks less, at 267.00, along with some pinholes and corner creases, I think someone did OK on the eBay copy mentioned in the previous post above.

Sure, its not perfect, but was right for someone. And aside from the standard fold lines, the main art seems to looks fine, too.

There are buyers for everything.  This beauty sold in 2003 for $200.  What is that, $400 today?  It's still crap, like all of the above.

With time and patience, people can get good stuff at the right price.  What is the point of buying lesser material that you will need to spend money on to linenback, pushing its price close to $500, when you can get better quality stuff at that same price if you wait.

Example: $580 less than a year ago.  That's a good deal.  The right poster, no linenbacking necessary, ready to frame.  And I'm sure you can get it for even cheaper.

Ha!!!  That reminds me of a recent shark campaign.  I have the poster, but I can't remember the title now.  A piece was missing as if a shark had eaten it.  Good publicity.

Enough posters to go around for all budgets, when one figures that some might not have the extra $$ needed to linen back a poster (or even want to).

I'm sure the buyer/winning bidder is happy with the poster and, at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

Very true.  I'm sure someone is, or I hope someone is.  $250 is a lot of money to be unhappy.

But I still don't think these posters are worth celebrating for their low selling prices.  That was my point.

Since the prices for JAWS OS seem to be a bit all over the map, even obtaining higher results when in lesser condition, I wasn't celebrating these 2 price results so much as showing that some OS, even in this lower grade, can still be gotten without paying a more premium price every time.

I was watching this (Revenge of the Jedi) auction and noted, in my opinion, some suspicious activity. A few days ago the bidding went up to £9000. The next day it had dropped to £6000 and some hours later went back up to £8500. I assume the original high bidder (an associate of the vendor?) withdrew his bid having established a high level of bidding.

So what you’re saying is that the bidders are no smart enough to realize that this poster is not worth more than $2k on a good day and that someone bidding high and removing his bid is enticing enough to pay $21k?

I saved all the results of this Sothebys online sale within minutes of it ending because they are pulled soon after and it is not possible to then see them. I think this is a deliberate policy to keep many of their purchasers from readily doing subsequent research. Of course they could do the research beforehand if they could be bothered.

So who are the typical bidders and why are they irrationally bidding 10-20X typical auction results elsewhere? International, too rich to care, very casual/one-time buyers?

I would guess that all the winning bids are on the up and up, without shilling or any other kind of funny business going on. Look how many times something on HA goes way beyond an estimate.

Depending on where you buy your chocolate (poster), it may be more (Christies) or less (eBay) expensive.
correct!

Yeah but, precious little shilling when it comes to a chocolate.  Which was more my thrust....

oh c'mon Simon. stop believing that claptrap.
one auctioneer makes these accusations regularly, but NEVER backs it up with any factual data.
Considering the seller has a conflict of interest when making such claims, in attempting to stain others so that he can get a competitive advantage, and there is nothing to back it up, it is nothing more than a fallacious claim by someone looking for a competitive advantage.

furthermore, lets look at the math of shill bidding. what benefit does an auction house have when they are bidding on an item that has already gone passed it's reserve? The answer: None and here is why. Lets say an item has a reserve of $5000 (hammer price, does not include BP), their percentage of 20%= $1000 + BP= $1000 (based on 20% commission & 20% BP). so the auction makes $2000

so maybe yur auction wants it to hammer at 10,000 for some reason, what happens if the auction house bids $6000.. and there are no further bids?
Not only has the house lost it's profits, but now it is stuck with this item that is going to cost them out-of-pocket $4800. That is a $6800 swing from $2000+ to ($4800-)

the detriments of shill bidding are clearly not favorable to the auction house

Might the consignors attempt shill bidding to drive up the price?
well some try, but the same math is their fail. You have a $5000 reserve and you get $4000. yay!
Or
Your friend shill bids for you. He goes to $6000 at your request and you indemnify him from any purchase. There are no further bids, so you just bought back your item from the auction house for $7200 ($6000 hammer + 20%). You get $5000 back from the auction, so it cost you $2200 out-of-pocket, plus you lost the $4000 you would have otherwise gotten - a $6200 swing!

what's the benefit?

This has nothing to do with the house bidding up to the bid before the reserve, which is the only format that a shill is legal, because it effects nothing. It's a house bidder hoping to find the bidder who will pay the reserve.

Shill bidding is a boogie man and only practiced by the ignorant and foolish

oh, by the way.. the collector who consigned the item that he won back... he can't reconsign it. If he makes his friend not pay, his friend gets banned. If the auction house finds out the shill was arranged, the consignor and the bidder are banned. If the consignor previously promoted he had the item and now it was supposedly sold via the auction, now the owner can't offer it publicly because everyone knows they are a scammer

only morons engage in such behavior

the only misinterpretation here is that you think you have any clue to what you're talking about, which you don't. There was only a single person in that thread who understood anything there, and that was the guy talking about the buyback costs for those who insist on a reserve price for their consignments.

No consignor can bid on their stuff at Heritage or any other reputable auction or they will be banned.
the term 'buyback' refers very specifically to the small percentage you must pay the auction house, if you have a reserve & the item does not sell.

of course, you need intellectual acuity to understand this information and seeing as you clearly don't understand it, that says everything people need to know about you and your comments

this part is 100% true as Heritage software blocks you from bidding on your own consignment items.

does this mean you can ask a friend to bid for you? Yes, you can - and I can testify it's a dumb thing to do as I know someone who ended up buying an item back that way and not only did they lose an actual sale but they now were into the item for 30% more than they were before and it was extremely unlikely they could make money at the new break-ever point.

No, you clearly misinterpret things to fit your little agenda.. whether it's with your self-acclaimed ultimate defender of auction house practices or politics.

You ignored the statements from various people with their experiences, and proceed on your own usual spiel. 

It's no secret of many auction houses' methods.

Your idea of "intellectual acuity" is regurgitating the same spiel, about how you and your favorite places and people are perfect little angels, and trying to trash other people by bad mouthing them.  Nothing new here.

The Trump thing is another ridiculous attempt at a cheap shot.  You completely ignored all the experiences those guys had on that forum.

The fact that you have to say nasty stuff to people, especially to those who are showing you something different than your usual narrative, to try to make yourself look smarter is sad.

Good question.

Personally, I don't view people who voted for x candidate different than those who voted for y candidate, or people who prefer one auction house over another.  Unlike Rich, who feels morally, intellectually, etc. superior, for whom he votes, "supports", whatever you'd like to call it.

I simply pointed out the fact that some folks were stating they had different experiences with auction houses', including HA's, fees, based on their negotiation skills, status, etc.  The ad hominem attacks employed in this case, are an example of some people's MO, when they're dealing with anyone who disagrees with them.

Deep breath.

If someone is buying a piece of chocolate from a shop, there is no shill bidding, systematic or otherwise.

If someone is bidding on an auction item, I am sure there is an element of shill bidding.  I couldn't possibly comment on how systematic or endemic it is.

You said earlier, "Shill bidding is a boogie man and only practiced by the ignorant and foolish", so the fact you say it is practised suggests it exists.

But, even though I must admit to losing the will to live, all I was initially pointing out was that chocolate is mostly bought from shops, and not bid on at auctions.  A none comment if you will, and not at all deserving of such interest or discussion.

Cheerio.

my comment on chocolate had nothing to do with shill bidding Simes, it had to do with why people at one auction will only pay $50 for a Pink Panther poster and for some reason $5000 at another. I seriously doubt there is any shill bidding going in such a situation, as it would be impossible to know that anyone might pay such a price and that there might be an underbidder or two or three.

That was the chocolate comparison. I only asked you about the shill bidding, because you answered with a statement on shill bidding

A mess of fuss over...

Orig release:

(http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u536/HereComesMongo1968/2014%20BEST%20MPS/189418_zpsmqwypqhv.jpg)

The original release Invisible Ghost poster is an incredible stone-litho with amazing colors and is considered one of the top handful of Lugosi one-sheets. It has topped $8,000 at auction before and is quite rare.

The Astor re-release is an offset poster using the same image, but if you've ever seen them side-by-side there is just no comparison. It is a much more affordable way to get the great image of Lugosi though and is what fills the hole in most collections.

I wonder what went into (thought wise), blackening out the original production credits and overprinting that corner with "Released Thru Astor Pictures Corp, when the Astor logo was also placed over the original Monogram logo? You'd think Astor would have wanted to keep the producer, director and screen writers' credits, but obviously, they felt their name was more important.

A bit of double down, it seems.

Pretty poster, but unfortunately even with Brynner winning an Oscar for this, it seems to be one of those titles with less and less interest in it every year.

I would of thought this TC would have gone higher than $2125.00:

This hobby is in a nose dive, when you focus on the top end sales every week you won't see it. Ten years ago EVERY movie sold posters, now the top 2 box office films will sell. 80's are on fire, the best of the best always sell, B grade title drastic reduction in sales, lower than a B grade; might as well throw it in the dumpster.

100% the digital age has to do with this. Folks can argue this all they want, but I have been connected to the new release market for about 20 years now, and I can tell you from there where this market is at and going. Not good, is an understatement.

What do you call B grade and lower than B grade? 

I think it has to do with the fact that 80% of movies nowadays SUCK.  The 80s are on fire because there are so many great titles.  Even bad 80s titles look great in comparison to today's crap.  Since the 80s, creativity has gone down drastically, and most movies are instantly forgettable.  Plus the posters have gone down stylistically.

Can you give us some titles that would have sold 10 years ago and don't today?

It's the mindset I think you are missing T. There is going to be a clear transition and it is already happening.

The majority of collectors collect to reconnect to a younger age. Most of us poster buyers buy this paper because when we went to the theater the first thing we saw was the poster advertising the coming soon or the now playing.  The younger generation has seen a flat screen tv playing a trailer or rotating a poster image and no poster at all. Movies are less of an event so there is less of a need to have a piece of the experience.

The main difference is in rom-com, comedy and drama. Everyone wants the tent poles, Potter, Bond, Marvel.

Examples from this year...

Hotel Transylvania 3 - 167mil, number 11 gross - for sure sell out 10 years ago, plenty left.
Oceans 8 - 140mill - #14 on the year - dumpster fodder
About anything after Ready Player One , #15 on the year, average interest at best. Star is Born has been decent but it is a very wide scope interest film.

Dale is 100% correct.

and having a supermarket selection available every week for $1 isn't helpful

I mentioned an additional factor in another thread - the costs of shipping.
every dollar shipping costs is a dollar less a poster sells for

and yes Rich I agree with the sentiment on shipping. Seems like USPS is conspiring to kill INTL purchases with the constant price increases. More than doubled in 10 years, and its not just here. I used to buy quads like crazy, now who wants to pay more in shipping than they do for the actual purchase item.

not just international Dale

I did a show in Oklahoma a couple weeks ago and I'm shipping back lots of stuff. a 32 pound box I sent back today cost $60

a 1lb or 2 lb box is no big deal, but once you get over that, it increases approx $3 per pound
those orders of 30 $3 posters that ship at a flat rate of $14 to NYC costs $35+ to ship, so I'm actually giving away 7 $3 posters with such an order

it gets funnier when you consider Fed-X contract rates vs retail rates.
Sean needed some frames and we had some from a deal we bought that had framed posters, so I sent him 2 1sh frames by fed-x ground.

his rate on his contract acct was $67
my walk-in rate was $212

WTF is that garbage?

shipping & labor is why I'm cutting back my own auctions, aside from the time involved

I suspect the only way to make money on the current crop of films is to hold onto the tent pole films posters for 20 years.  By then the nostalgia effect should be in place.

I remember back at the turn of the century you could dump anything on e**y and get at least a tenner for it.  I recently put some junk on for sale after not selling there for years and it's obvious that they are no longer interested in the casual seller. I wonder if that is helping to speed the demise along?

About anything after Ready Player One , #15 on the year, average interest at best. Star is Born has been decent but it is a very wide scope interest film.

If mid grade posters have lost some of their shine, it is not because of a lost love for paper (or at least not directly), but because cinema does not interest people has much as it used to.  There are no movie stars anymore, no career directors to follow, no big names to watch.  Too much distraction from social media, not enough time.  Movies are about branding, and branding is a flash that is instantly dismissible.  Except for a few rare titles, movies all look the same.  Also playing a part is how quickly movies come out on ancillary markets.  No wait, no trepidation, instant gratification.

You're right, there will always be a few titles that beat the effects of time, but most movies are forgotten as soon as you step out the theater.  It didn't use to be like that.  Names on the marquee used to mean something.  Nowadays, people are more interested by Jennifer Lawrence's new fuck buddy than her work on the big screen.

So if movies don't mean anything anymore, neither do their posters.  It makes sense.

Is the hobby dead?  Not according to what some titles sell for, especially from the 80s, the last era before it started to go south.  Like I told you privately, Dale, I see lots of title sell for x2, x5 what I paid for them.  But they are the top of the crop.

I think it all comes down to the titles people remember and want to remember.  Not too many of those anymore.

And I guess this is an example of much restoration, that all looks really well done, according to the description:

"(1) MOVIE POSTER: Murders in the Rue Morgue lobby card - the torture scene. Bela Lugosi (Mirakle) tortures Arlene Francis, one of the prostitutes. 1932 Universal. Generally a lot of restoration has been done on this card: an old fold through the center repaired and patched, all borders and 1/4" into the image have been replaced, pinholes, some painted repairs. 11" x 14".

I know material from this flick is uber rare, too.

It closed at $4250.00

Thanks, Sean. I hadnt looked at HA to see if they had sold one. When comparing to their copy... I see what you mean, and how much more obvious the Gaston Auction copy is with all the restoration.

For any pieces that were restored at the Gaston Auction, was the restoration done by Jaime? Or by someone else?

Actually Haggard himself bought it from eMovie, but he sold it when raising money for his Wolf Man insert, I ended up with it and sold it back to him about a year later.

All going to depend of course. If Haggard had a piece done himself, then he (and every other person in the hobby who wanted top work at that time) would use Jaime.  If it was something he purchased already restored, then oftentimes he would leave it as is.

I just received the Mummy's Hand OS via UPS from Gaston & Sheehan Auctioneers today, and it's definitely a very clean copy in a completely unrestored condition.  I'm very happy with this new addition to my Uni horror collection.

Wow, I didn't even notice how horrible that ROTJ result was - just the Star Wars I mentioned in the other thread.
Guess that is the lowest price he's ever gotten for this piece.
Hope the consignor wasn't one of the buyers from earlier this year (but considering how many of these they sell, it's more likely a person with a stack of them).

If those are your pickups from last night, congrats on the good deals.

That said, I figured it might have gone for $15k.

Erik, the Dracula cape Has been in storage for years but it was shown publicly once. About 8 years ago the Lafayette Theatre in Suffern New York ran it's annual HorrorThon which that year included A&C Meet Frankie. Since Todd lives close to the theatre and frequently attended their Saturday morning classic films series, he brought it to the screening along with a coat rack. The management was impressed with it and set it up on one corner of the stage, close to where Todd would be sitting, of course. It was distracting to watch the movie and have this half opened cape standing in one corner through the whole thing. After the film several patrons oohed and ahhed it after getting a closer look at it, which pleased Todd to absolutely no end. He was just lapping the adoration up with a spoon. He forbade anyone to get within breathing distance of it, though. After the adoring crowds thinned out he carefully folded it up, grabbed the coat rack and ran out the side door of the theatre to his car, threw the rack and cape inside and raced off to the locked safety of his storage unit.

He pulled the same thing when the Lafayette played DRACULA one year. He just couldn't resist the temptation to bring out his original 1-sheet (cobweb version) and get it on display, locked securely in one of the display cases of course. He had to be constantly reassured that the poster case was indeed locked and nobody could get at it, even with the manager and several ushers within steps of it. He just wouldn't sit still during the film, jumping up and running into the lobby to check that his treasure was still safe every 10 minutes. Before and after the film he stood guard by the display case lest some greedy and unscrupulous collector would break the glass and snatch it from it's perch. But that didn't stop him from glowing with all the attention. When he finally had management open the case he grabbed the poster and once again ran as fast as he could towards his car, piled in, and zoomed away with the tires spitting gravel and dirt. It was quite amusing to watch.

The Swing Time completes my goal of at least one original release card from each F&G film.  The Shall We Dance, gives me 5 of 8 cards from that film.

Kinda wanted the other 2 title cards, but common sense and budget prevailed.  Each went for over $900.

Post by: cabmangray on November 22, 2018, 11:03:48 AM
Simon, it's all absolutely true. I was there and saw it all. I can kind of understand his concern for the DRACULA 1-sheet since it wasn't under his constant observation. But it seems to me that if he was that concerned about it being stolen, why bring it to the theatre at all? Why try to sit and watch the film, only to jump up and run up the aisle every 10 minutes to check on it's safety? Why not just leave it safely in storage? It all comes down to a ego stroke for him. He needs constant recognition, validation and approval. Add to that his "I've got it, you don't and never will" mindset equals one very irritating egoist should just lock himself in his storage locker and revel in all the expensive paper he will never sell. 
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: cabmangray on November 22, 2018, 11:24:33 AM
A quick aside to the DRACULA 1-sheet story. I spoke to the manager after Todd was gone with the poster, in a cloud of dust, and told me he didn't want him to bring the poster in the first place. If something did happen to it, he would have been on the hook for damages. He also didn't want the responsibility of keeping an eye on it while Todd was inside watching the movie. Which he only saw half of since he was jumping up and running around the lobby most of the time. The manager said he wished Todd would just take the poster and go home already.

Oh, and the cherry on top was 95% of the patrons walked right by the poster and couldn't have cared less about it. Only the hardened collectors noticed and were quite effusive about it. Which Mr. Egoist lapped up like a Coke through a straw on a summer day.

Bob, aside from relaying these tales, it sounds like you also dont like him very much?

Your posts are peppered with mild barbs/criticisms directed at TF or his behaviour and Im curious as to the reason for that.

Did you also have some bad transaction or encounter with him in the past?
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: cabmangray on November 22, 2018, 12:25:04 PM
Not especially. And it's not jealously either. In all fairness he has great posters and I'm glad that that they are being preserved. But having observed him up close he has a very high "holier than thou" attitude that grates on the nerves. I've seen him brush off non collectors who were just curious about what he was displaying because they weren't worth his time to speak to them. But if you knew about the rarity of his holdings, he would talk to you for half an hour. But always, always with an air of superiority, like he had the gold and you didn't and he wanted you to know it. His is a fan club of one and you aren't worthy enough to join.

I've never had dealings with him and don't plan to either.

Most folks who have high-end stuff don't let it leave their safe spaces.  The art that sells for millions - tens and hundreds of millions dollars, often are kept in unknown (to most), private collections, and only appear to the public if/when they're for sale publicly.  Even a lot of folks with the stuff we talk about here don't want to join this place, and many who do join won't even reveal their real name here, as they want to remain as anonymous as possible  I think it's respectable of TF to bring some of the most hig-end stuff to events, and talk with folks about it.  Regarding him running to his car after the event, anyone who has any sense would do the same thing.  Similarly, armored truck drivers don't lollygag around when they're carrying/transporting suitcases of cash, for obvious reasons.

Im with you here, Brandon.

Anyone willing to bring items like this to some random theater, set up on a rack (vs a setting like an exhibit or in a gallery, for example) would be on high alert. I know I would be. Someone could approach, and even in an attempt to take the cape, damage or tear it. So I can see why TF behaved like he did. And that includes not meandering around the lobby with this cape draped over his arm.

Quirks or not, it's a valuable and rather iconic piece of film history, and TF knows this, even if many in the audience werent that impressed.

Kudos to TF for bringing it at all, for those that truly knew what it was were probably rather in awe or very much impressed.

Okie

I recall talking to TF when he had sent his MARK OF THE VAMPIRE US OS to Bonhams, for their TCM-linked auction a couple years ago. I drove to Bonhams here on Sunset Blvd to check all the items, inc his poster and the many others that were going to be put up for auction.

The poster didnt sell, and he told me how Bonhams had "lost" the poster for a while, not able to locate it. It eventually was found and sent back to him... but when you have something like this, that could potentially go missing, even when in the hands of an auction house, it would certainly keep anyone with rare and valuable items on high alert -- without question.

Hi Jeff,  Good thing about most reputable auction houses and dealers is they have insurance to cover loss of consigned items.  Of course, the loss of rare/one of a kind items is very unfortunate to the hobby as well as for historians.  Even when I've loaned pieces for exhibition at museums and gallery showings, the institution has covered the agreed upon insurance value.  Kudos to everyone willing to share their goodies in public places.  It certainly can be nerve racking sometimes, though.  My best,   Okie

Hi Jeff, Cabman, Neo, and my old friend, Richie!  I think this is also an intriguing discussion in modern times, especially thinking about the access Forrest "Uncle Forry" Ackerman gave to fans of his many factors more in collectibles by comparison.  Some things did "walk off" from the Ackermansion,  though Uncle Forry through his generosity did help teach us sharing our collections might make us better people and certainly helped bring the mainstream interest in these collectibles way up.  This increase in interest surely saved many rare collectibles from the trash heap, even though this interest and more main stream acceptability raised the going prices on certain pieces beyond many of us collectors.  Thank goodness there are still plenty of beautiful, affordable goodies still out there, though! I remember well when Uncle Forry let me wear Bela Lugosi's ring he wore in Dracula: it changed me as a collector.  Kudos to Todd Feiertag for in his own way following in Uncle Forry's footsteps.  I know I'm a weirdo and Cabman would be right to call me so. Who's that in the mirror, eh?! And, I don't have to worry about insuring and protecting for posterity at anything close to Todd's level. How many of us do?  Maybe T (who is very generous sharing his collection online) and a few dozen others and some dealers?   It's fun to me to display collectibles in public, though there are perils depending on social graces and not just $$$.  If we're willing to show our warts in public along with our collectibles, we can give folks inside and outside the hobby enhaced experiences based on our knowledge and the beautiful pieces displayed on APF!  Long winded, Okie

So true, Peter. Like any art form, one person's "visual trash" is another's "visual treasure," so no one can say, as a matter of fact, whether something is good, bad, or mediocre. It's an opinion, only, based on one's personal taste.

This and more.  I think it would be a kin to something like the Alamo draft house/Mondo tees posters – – but if the vast majority of them were used in the theater and then thrown away. There really are only a handful Of these left in circulation.

The Beathless has never surfaced before to my knowledge. That’s why I bought it :)

We did have this conversation before -- I think it was over my Seven Samurai Strausfeld quad :)

My favorite part of the Academy Cinema/Peter Strausfeld story...  Strausfeld (http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/alumni-arts/strausfeld,-peter) was an avant-garde/expressionist artist born in Germany.  George Hoellering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hoellering) was a filmmaker born in Austria.  Neither of them wanted anything to do with the Nazi's both immigrated to England between WWI and WWII.  Supposedly Hoellering originally came without much more than the clothes on his back and the sole print of a film he made in Hungary -- eager to find distribution for his art-house effort. 

But just as the US interred thousands of Japanese-Americans during WWII, the UK interred thousands of German/Austrian-English on the Isle of Man at the Onchan Internment Camp.  The two men met and became good friends at the camp between 1940 and 1941.  Hoellering and Strausfeld apparently had many conversations along the lines of, "if we ever get out of this place....".  Well after the war Hoellering was tapped by fellow UK filmmakers to direct programming the Academy Cinema starting in 1944.  He put a policy in place to *not* use studio promotional materials and quickly hired his old friend Strausfeld to create unique poster for the cinema.  The two continued their friendship and collaboration for nearly 40 more years until both Strausfeld and Hoellering died in 1980.  The Academy Cinema muddled along without them for another 6 years but finally closed it's doors in 1986. 

The two men are credited with introducing a generation (or more!) of Londoners to independent darlings like Godard, Fellini, Kurosawa, Ozu, Malick, Bergman, Renoir, Wadja, Eisenstein, Melville, Cassavetes, and yes, even Scorsese when he was still a nobody!

no idea where you get that from my comment, because it certainly isn't something I said, or insinuated.

My comment is that the auction estimate, means nothing in this case, because the posters have a much greater value than the estimate to any knowledgeable dealer or collector

facts are that Breathless and the Seventh Seal are rare & valuable posters in any case, and would have done very well all by themselves.

auction estimates also vary in usage depending on what auction house you are referencing.

for instance, Heritage listings in movie posters signature auctions start at 25% to 75% of the low estimate, depending on value range. Low priced items start at lower percentages. Profiles in History's low estimate is the starting bid. Some auction house list estimates of 200-300 for virtually all listings, regardless of value and others, like Heritage comic books signature auctions don't list any estimated ranges or values at all, for anything.

All very true! And a great story as well...rarity and desirability are driving mechanisms in this hobby...you can see it in every area regardless of the execution of the artwork...there are a number of 5 figure posters that are sophomoric and uninteresting....

That being said...the history of film and the relationships involved can often be the catalyst for collectors...rarity always adds an extra spice..people want to connect to films in a more tangible way....understanding the history of a film and then owning a piece of its history captivates us....

In answer to other posts:

We all witness spectacular results in this hobby where rarity and desirability far outweigh condition or art design....look no further then the Public Enemy one sheet and the Frankie 3 sheet...both really excellent Heritage results....Rarity and desirability will never lose over condition...in fact they are mutually beneficial and have a nice symbiosis...

Yup, cracking story.

And a cracking price realised too...!

Pockets can often run deep when someone wants something bad enough. And the realization of vastly overpaying (or not), is not even a consideration, many times.  faint2.gif Doh.gif

No but you are probably right on those prices. I rarely paid for posters in those days though - it was easy enough to get them from cinemas - I used to blag press kits from studio offices in Wardour Street as well.

are buyer's premiums a hidden tax? Or are they clearly noted in any catalogs, including online?
when I bid, do I say, "I'm only willing to pay $1000.. BID $1000!" or do I say "I'm only willing to pay $1000.. BID $830, they add $166= $996!"?

I don't doubt for a second that HA gets better results generally, but the only value that really matters is the dollar amount going to the consignor.  If we are cherry picking examples to prove our points then check out the WOTW window card which sold for $1020 at HA.  Take away the BP @ 20% and that poster is really an $800 poster.  The last time EMP sold the same poster way back in 2015 it sold for $655 so that's a difference of about $150.  Four years later.  Big whoop. 

And on the other side at HA you have those fools who pick up for example a pulp fiction for $1680.  That number PULVERIZES all EMP results for that poster... probably until the end of time.  On that end of the spectrum are the super rich, throw your money around, Inuit carving collectors who happen to be on Ha.com at the time and bored on a sunday night not giving a shit really what a pulp fiction OS costs but loving those nice pictures and description and those nice fellas at HA are always so nice to me and honey where is Lucia there's no more ice left in my drink...

Vick, if we take the WOTW wc, the hammer price is $850 + 170 bp
on the 850, consignor fee is 25%= $637.50 to the consignor
the 650 at EMP, minus consignor fee of 22%= $507
looks to me as HA is a winner there

but is that the closest price achieved comparison on the chart of just those 2 graphics I posted?

the $1680 for the PF is an incredible result, so let's forget it then.
Last month they sold another copy for $900
....... can anyone touch that price?

have you ever seen anyone achieve $1800 for a Marilyn wc?
$456 for Jane Russell in Firefox?
$1320 for that Le Mans poster?

also, whether the bidder is throwing money around bored on a sunday night not giving a shit really what a pulp fiction OS costs isn't significant
what is significant is that they are throwing the money around.

listen, as an actual seller all my life, with a mailing list, an auction site and loads of sales every year, I have absolutely no problem b=giving props to Heritage here, NO-BODY can touch this. They sell 450 +/- posters (or related items) every Sunday (minus 3 weeks when they have Signature auctions) and they do between $40k and $90k a week!

The average price per listing is $100+

they are the peak of the business AS PRICES ACHIEVED

Rich is probably spot on, but we all need to be aware that nothing is certain.  I have successfully bid on several items at HA Sig auctions for less money than the top emovieposter results.  Granted, my collection is off the mainstream, concentrating on old musicals.  However, the HA Signature auctions provide a wealth of top material, and sometimes some real gems get lost among the trendy stuff and sell for well below what they would sell for in an auction that had less competition.

Clear and simple explanation, Rich. You and others have often had to "re-explain" this scenario and the BP that HA or any auction house adds, which is the final selling price.

A good read, for sure.  thumbsup.gif

I don't sell, so it really doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but I have a real issue knowing that a poster sells for $1,020 (what someone is willing to pay for said poster) and I ONLY get $637.  A whopping 38% of the sale goes to Heritage vs 20% to Emovie.  38%!!!!!!   I don't like it.  I understand that some items sell for more at HA, but I would still go with Bruce if I ever sold.

you get what you pay for with Heritage - more money in your pocket.
If you or I or EMP or anyone else was able to get the $1020, (we) would.

Rich I conceded that HA got the better of the results on the WOTW even before taking into account the consignor fees, though the difference between 637 and 507 back to the consignor over a 4 year span is nothing to write home about. 

Again, I agree with you HA gets the best auction results hands down.  What i'm saying is if you are promoting to the public how great HA results are, you must be targeting potential consignors.  Obviously you wouldn't be promoting their results to potential BUYERS, because that wouldn't make sense (Hey folks this is how much MORE you're going to pay for your posters at HA compared with any other auction house!)

So, that being the case (that you are promoting potential consignors to HA) then I think when advertising their "results" in the interests of full disclosure, you should mention that the price quote includes the BP.  That's all I am saying.  Folks who consign at HA don't get a dime out of the BP, so that should be clear for promotional purposes.

I don’t see how this is more money in my pocket.  My item sells for $1,020 at HA, I get $637.  My item sells for $1,020, i get $816.  Easy math.

this is "Post-auction analysis"
these prices are post-auction results

factually, I don't care if anyone here gives Heritage consignments or makes bids. That's not my job to create, that's for Heritage to deal with.

I see that Bruce sold one for $655 in 2015.  After his 22%, the seller got $510.  It was paperbacked, good to very good condition, which means that collectors like me would have never touched it.  Heritage sells one for $1,025.  After their 38%, the seller gets $637 for a Very Fine + condition, mint, something everyone would buy.  So we're talking about a $127 difference between a paperbacked, G to VG 4 years ago and a rolled VF+ today.  $127?  Wow, you're so right, Rich.  Good one!!!

Of course on the Foxfire poster I pointed out, Emovie would take a whopping 50% (50%!!!!!!), leaving you with $12.50, while 38% off the $456 Heritage price leaves you with $282. Using the 1989 Batman example that was posted by someone else you would still have $327 after the Heritage cut from the $528 sale, but even if you take the highest price Emovie ever got for one ($136) and subtract their 28% you have $97.

But here's the secret no one tells you - no one auction house gets the highest prices every single time for every item. There are bargains here and there in every auction. 

Past performance of course is no predictor of future results as they like to say, but if I was considering consigning something there are a couple of things I would look at:
1) Does the auction house actually spend money to advertise? I would want as wide as possible an audience as I could to know about my items for sale. I see Heritage advertisements everywhere I go on the web, and in print. If you could show me even a single ad Emovie has run outside of their website in the last year I would be impressed.
2) What is the average selling prices of all items with an auction house? This is what speaks volumes, as when you go to sell most likely it won't be a single item and most likely you would like to sell where people are used to seeing similar items. Emovie has advertised for years that 60% of all their items sell for $10 or less (and that they take 75% on those items and lose money), where someone else pointed out that Heritage averages over $100 per item on their weekly items and well over $1000 an item in their signature auctions.

If you have the type of items that are going to sell for $10 or less (or close to it), or don't mind people wading through thousands of such items, than Emovie is definitely the place for you. 
If you are thinking of selling a key Casablanca piece, or another true spotlight item, than my opinion is Heritage will get you the better result and more money in your pocket time after time.

Actually, joke aside, it sounds like a pretty decent idea, so people like me, who are really tired of it, can avoid the thread altogether.

who is bashing EMP in any way?

did anyone say anything bad about them?

just because you say something positive about one auction doesn't mean you are saying something negative about another

don't be like a Trumpster who can't handle people talking about Hillary

what do you mean no comment. if you want to accuse people of attacking others, post the proof, don't run away.

this is post-auction discussion. the only thing I have done is discuss. the only thing Sean did was discuss. The same thing as Vick, Jeff, Yourself etc. and every other person who has posted within this 411 page thread

I posted factual information, with no slanders. If the factual information makes anyone look better than anyone else, it's purely because the facts favor whomever looks better, when apples are compared to apples

nobody said anything negative about anyone, except for you that is.

There you go.  I opened that thread you and Crowzilla so desperately need.  I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. 

So the rule is, you can post about Heritage's great numbers here, shout them as loud as you want, it is a post auction thread after all, but you or anyone else attempt to compare these great numbers to Emovieposter's numbers in a negative way, it will be cut and posted in the Bashing thread, where it belongs.  I won't read the Bashing thread, it's your playground.  Enjoy.

Hey did you guys see the poster at that venue that sold for a price that was very different from a similar offering from another seller in another venue at not the same date or time?
I sat transfixed at my screen staring in disbelief.
What a rush of emotions to see such a startling thing. This proves with 100% accuracy that some venues and/or sellers achieve results that are inside or outside a standard deviation from another seller and/or venue.

Just saying but selling your 1000$ poster at HA is not as straightforward as it may seem.

"Thank you so much for your inquiry.
We ask for a minimum aggregate value of $5000 for a consignment to our movie poster auction.
Unfortunately, we do not believe the nice collectable item you have would meet that.

I cant imagine that the specifics / terms /values / requirements are not clearly defined and laid out for both the HA Sig Auctions, as well as the weekly Sunday nite auctions.

Go onto the HA site and do a simple search. It's there in black and white, more than likely. ;)
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: guest4531 on January 30, 2019, 01:42:11 AM
Well, distinction between Signature and Sunday auctions was new to me.  And as you said, terms aren't clearly defined, and the expert has the last word.  I doubt there is something in HA clearly saying that minimum consignment value for both auctions apply; if you find it, share it.

I initially contacted them because I have two posters I bought some years ago which sold pretty well in their past Sunday auction; since I posted a link to past Sunday auctions in my email, my question was for the Sunday auctions not the Signature ones.

"I have a poster I would like to consign.  It is the exact same one that one you sold recently at your Movie Poster auctions [link to Sunday auctions here] but in Very Good condition. Kindly let me know if you would be ready to accept this poster in your upcoming movie posters auctions."

I got the Ebay-$5000-threshold reply, so I replied the following:
"Thank you for your answer.  Ebay is a good place but considering results for this poster at HA, your Sunday auctions is the best place to sell it."
And added:
"Just last one question, what if I have same poster in multiples (apx 20 pcs [...]), would you be ready to accept the consignment and sell them at Sunday auctions over a one- or two-years span."

Fact is that I found someone with stock of posters which sold for $200+ at HA, that's a $100+ markup. I was hoping the few I have would be accepted for Sunday auctions, it was not; so I try the bulk approach to meet their threshold, but in vain. 

Conclusion for me, too bad !  I have poster I want to consign to HA weekly auctions but can't. 

Conclusion for this topic/thread, as said earlier, this thread sounds like consigning at HA is a piece of cake, it is not.   If you do, you should consider yourself lucky :) 
Add to this different date, different condition, etc.,  clearly we are comparing apples and oranges.

I inquired about consigning posters to Heritage about 10 years ago and I believe it was even a $5000 minimum value then for the Signature Auctions.  I am not sure if that minimum actually is stated on the web site; at least I didn't find out about it until inquiring about consigning via their web form.  As I recall back then I had 3 posters with a combined value of about $1200. HA offered to take them for the weekly auctions if I could include a bit more value for the initial consignment. Anyway, I ended up consigning those posters to emovieposter. One poster did slightly worse than I expected but the most valuable one got about twice as much as I expected. The experience was good and I was happy with the overall prices achieved.

Anyway, I just recently sent in a consignment to HA for the upcoming Signature Auction and the minimum value threshold did not come up because the items are valued in excess of 5k. But I already knew about the minimum from years back.

So far the process with HA has been pleasant and smooth. I just hope I see some of those vaunted Heritage price results on auction day!

I don't think anyone has indicated that Boss. Clearly you need get over a threshold to consign to a major auction house of any kind.

There are also actually numerous factors that help you get in. For instance, they have sold a number of items for me above the 10k price point.
Because I give them that type of material, they are happy to take material valued at less than $100 for Sunday auctions, although I try to send stuff that should sell for $100 or more.

But there is another factor with me, that does not exist with many consignors in any auction: I have never asked for a reserve on anything.
They sold a $15,000 item and it started at whatever their minimum bid is in Signature comic auction, maybe $200. That means that there was no doubt that this item was absolutely going to sell, which translated to guaranteed fees to HA. They love it. I loved it because the last time they sold the same item, it went for $3800.00 (they sold an item for $9600.00 in the same auction that they sold another example of for just $4800 6 months earlier). Of course, it takes some fortitude to offer a DTESS 1sh starting at $1.00 like EMP or HA Sunday auctions, so it's not for everyone.

It's also one with a "make offer to owner" tag attached. This has always mystified me. How does this work in practice? I have only bought once from Heritage years ago (once was enough) so I'm not familiar with their current procedures. As a buyer, are you offered the option of immediately re-submitting the poster for sale which you just purchased (these things seem to show up instantaneously for re-sale)?

In this particular case, is it likely that anyone would take up the opportunity seeing as how the next highest price that Heritage have sold the poster for is $657?

I think if you, as a bidder/buyer, sign up to such a function, then the Make an Offer tag just always pops up.  Incoming offers then just have to be accepted or rejected.

As to what constitutes an Offer, I think there is a minimum automatic offer, over and above that item's sale price, you are permitted to make and that will then cover some back end deal for Heritage.  You don't get nowt for nowt.

I've sold a poster via the Heritage "Make Offer" thingie.  It is a setting you select and once clicked it seems to apply to all your Heritage purchases, old and new.

Got a very good price on a poster that had declined in value since I bought it and sort of saved the day.  Wouldn't have gotten anywhere near what I paid had I re-auctioned it.

According to a press release from this time last year, they have sold over $10 million through this program (though I believe it is mainly in coins and comics).
The best thing about the program is there is a flat 10% fee, which should please even the hard core Heritage haters like T.

Heritage has an archive showing the results of every offer made through this program, whether rejected or accepted, and it can be sorted by category and price. In my quick glance, the biggest multiple I saw for a poster was an East of Eden six-sheet which originally sold for $717, had resold for $9,000 and there seem to be a few low five-figure resales as well.

I see. Makes you wonder whether they have had any success at all with the ploy, seems unlikely.

Just curious, Martin. Why do you call this HA program "a ploy" as though it is something underhanded or not legit? (Or maybe that isnt what you meant, but it reads that way, by using that word).

Hold up.  A "Deliverance" themed wedding present?  :o :o :o

I know.  It's on ongoing battle with my wife.  She doesn't want me to get it, because we'd still have to buy something for the bride, or something for the couple.  But HE really wants it.  He grew up in Northern Michigan, owns a cabin in the middle of nowhere, so I guess he identifies with the movie.  Maybe it should be a birthday gift.

You can see here that there have been successful deals made through this capability:

https://movieposters.ha.com/c/moto/offers.zx?sortDir=d&sortCol=od&ic19=MotoOffers-Accepted-051418&statusId=1&rpp=200



Thanks for that, I didn't realise you could access that information. Interesting, there appear to have been 18 successful deals (if I read it correctly) in the whole of last year but 6 so far this year. Don't know how that would translate into a percentage of the total deals on offer but it's more than I anticipated.

I've sold a poster via the Heritage "Make Offer" thingie.  It is a setting you select and once clicked it seems to apply to all your Heritage purchases, old and new.

Got a very good price on a poster that had declined in value since I bought it and sort of saved the day.  Wouldn't have gotten anywhere near what I paid had I re-auctioned it.

Good for you. I suppose it being unexpected made it all the sweeter.

No, Jeff, I wouldn't say that, perhaps I should have said "successful sales technique".

I keep getting these "Make an offer" emails from Heritage on various posters that I have purchased there (notably my Revenge of the Creature 6-sheet), but since I'm not interested in selling anything, I have never accepted of them.  Still I think it's a nice option to have should I ever change my mind about resale, as I sometimes have been offered significantly more than what I paid for.

According to a press release from this time last year, they have sold over $10 million through this program (though I believe it is mainly in coins and comics).
The best thing about the program is there is a flat 10% fee, which should please even the hard core Heritage haters like T.

Crowzilla,

Thank you very much for the link.  Will bookmark that.  I am wondering if there is a way to search by title?  All I could see was the ability to leaf through the pages in no particular order.

I have the box checked on my profile that my wins can be offered.  I received an offer for some Colleen Moore cards one time at almost twice what I paid for them.  I countered a little because I really did not want to sell but if I did I put a price on that I would be happy with.  In the end we did not reach agreement.  A little bit of remorse that I did not sell now.

Overall I think it is a great program that you can offer for things you want and receive offers.  Wish other auction sites would do that.

Matthew

With an estimate of 400-600 GBP, it just shows how many people are out there that literally have $$ to throw away (which isnt a bad thing, if you've got money to burn).  8)

And this is seen at other auction houses too, like HA, so is nothing new. But it's fascinating to see, when something goes SO far beyond an auction estimate.

Maybe Sotheby's can procure a private sale with the underbidder (for a fee)...

Hey, you may as well inquire!

That is assuming this is even a real result to a real buyer and not some bizarre money laundering or something.

My word!

Thing is, there are BIN options out there for Dr No quads at £10-12k.  A bit of backing and framing and you'd still save yourself £70k.

Re : Jim Morrison

It was a sgd photo and it has been discussed before on various autograph boards few yrs ago , it was deemed likely not authentic and that he would not sign such a bare chested photo of himself (example : Kunis doesnt sign topless photo she did , Pitt doesnt sign with blue sharpie cuz he thinks dealers use blue......celebs can have quirks when it comes to signing certain items)

(I see dealers offering Adam Wests un-inscribed from cons , at cons he insisted on inscribing......this I know from personal experience as I talked with his manager Fred , even if I offered 20$ more per signature the answer was still no)

Personally had it been me I wouldve requested a refund , esp when were talking this kind of $$$ (also just cuz theyre experts in posters do not make them automatic expert in autographs , there are also high priced forgeries out there)

HA has experts working in more that just vintage and collectible movie posters.

The deal in rare coins, gold and silver, fine art, autographs, comic book art, etc. Posters are but one department among many.  thumbsup.gif

There is a handful of bidders at Emovie who can't stand to lose, no matter what.  They will keep bidding, even if it makes zero common sense.  I've played the game a couple of times of bidding way over what I wanted to pay just to see if they would follow.  I was willing to take the risk just to confirm my assumption.  And I was right.  I remember one instance where one of those bidders paid $300 over the previous high price.

It will not stop me from trying, though, especially if I really want something.

I've lost the same poster twice to the same guy now in the past month at ridiculous prices. I do the sane thing and let him have them, but I do wonder at times how high he'd go. He'll pay anything just to win. At least I feel a bit better knowing I helped make a bit more money for Emovie by driving the price up.

Seems buying dupes of a poster is rather common, as I posted in this thread, too, Dr Bill:

Not that there's anything wrong with that, I was just scratching my head as to why. The bidder was one of several who seems to have unlimited funds and always gets what he wants at any price, even when it's way above ebay prices. But all's fair at auction - that's just not me.

I have bought a lot of doubles and triples over the years (most recently my 3rd Star Wars Style C :)) but I only do it for 3 reasons... 1) replacing a damaged poster (which thankfully doesn't happen much anymore), 2) because I forget I already own the poster (that happens quite often) and 3) and probably most importantly, because the price is right (like the SW Style C).  Unless it is for a specific collection and I must have it at all cost, I always try to buy low. 

What I don't understand are those 3 or 4 "gentlemen" on Emovie who just routinely buy sub-par posters for twice or 3 times the amount of what you can get them in mint condition anywhere else.  Just so they don't lose.

I'm not that experienced myself, but if I look ahead and see EMP has something I really want, I usually check ebay and a few other sources to get a sense of what it sells for. And I'm sure there are sources I don't know about yet. Maybe these gentlemen don't know about any of the other sources, or maybe they just don't care about what they spend and logging in to EMP is just an easy habit compared to shopping around, or maybe it's just the thrill of the kill. I'm always baffled when I see the S2 stone lithos go for more than a brand new one costs.

I know very many people who collect every copy of a certain poster or comic book they can find. I know of at least one person who collects Spider-Man #50 & Fantastic Four #48 and reportedly has a box of each (minimum 50 copies each, possibly as many as 300 if it's  a long box & none are CGC graded)
these are also, fairly expensive books

it's nothing to make a judgement about

here's a comment that will surprise you: we are collectors, and we collect.

I don't know all that many collections that are the same other than people who specifically collect only Star Wars, or only 1950s-60s horror-sf, or only film noir etc.

every collection is different, except those collections where people collect "series" (for instance, baseball card & most comic book collectors, stamp collectors etc)

I don't believe there is another poster collector that collects Raymond Chandler like I do (I never met anyone in 40 years doing it) or collecting gambling film memorabilia like I do (though I do know one who only collects poker games images)

collecting the  same poster or comic etc again & again is just another variation of the game.

Not really what we’re talking about here, Richie Rich.  We’re talking about a few specimens at Emovie who refuse to let go (emphasis on Refuse) and systematically overspend on lesser condition material when the same material can be obtained at half price anywhere else.  That’s not about collecting, it’s about a lack of brain cells and/or too much money to spend.

How is that for a judgement?

pretty sure each auction house has special bidders like this, but it's more fun to talk about Emovie as you can see the bidder ID, so you "know" who you are up against. 
Anyone remember the famous "bidder #2" at Heritage a few years back? You would see bidding progressing along on something, $10K, $11K, $12K, and then out of the blue someone would say $20 or $25K, and people would be scratching their heads.

you're complaining that people keep buying the same thing, for whatever reason. When that guy was buying every Jaws poster the conversation was the same.

but you also bring up another point that needs some discussion. Who cares what anyone thinks should be a standard price on anything? The standard varies from one outlet to another and movie posters is not like comic books where there is an actual price guide that is used as some measure of bible by the entirety of the hobby. (not that stuff doesn't go for 10-20-50-100-500 times the apparent guide value)

the very concept that any specific entity in posters represents the pricing structure of this hobby is a false argument, because there is no standardization, period and if we attempted to make such a standard, there is one entity that wouldn't have any interest in being involved - unless it was their standard.

Hey did you know that there are way more people at some sites than others, and that the demographic strata at some is better than others?
Did you know that many collectors don't buy at some sites? Even I have had people tell me they only bid on ebay or had been bidding on my site, which I always thought surprising and these people clearly know all of the auction sites.

How about, not everyone agrees with the things some people say on this board. For gosh sakes, Chop thinks he should be able to buy a rolled Jaws for $300. Does anyone here agree with that?

By the way, as collectors, you should also be happy that no such standard exists, otherwise the concept of getting 'a good deal' would evaporate, every year the 'supposed' values would increase in the book and most of you (T not included) wouldn't be able to buy anything after some period of time as the accrual on an actuarial scale graphs out.

There is Rodeo Drive and there is Main Street and there is also Wal Mart. Thankfully, all markets are not measured against Rodeo Drive and definitely thankfully not measured against Wal Mart and their 'falling prices' philosophy.

I only check auctions the day of, be it Emovie or Heritage, which allows me to not overthink things.  In my case, overthinking leads to overspending.  But it also means I don’t always have time to check my website.

Actually, I like seeing the bidder IDs. Sometimes, seeing who the high bidder is leading up to the close, helps me to focus how much I really want that copy for auction.

Since I still don't have a copy, I sure wish I could find a nice one for $300.  ;D
If I already had a copy or two, keep that price up there haha.
I even looked into that Kastel Mondo art print version, but that often sells for more than the one-sheet. I'll figure out something eventually.

OK, this may hurt. But.

While this statement will have been made in the best of intentions, it might not have been made while considering the breadth of the buying audience.

The Internet is worldwide, there are 8 million worldwide holidays to take into account, we do not know what market share from the world Bruce sells and earns, and, lastly, the US is not or might not be the world's lion share of the market.

Does one stop a US sale to the world, based on a US holiday, or just crack on...?

These things are advertised way up front so, for my part, it is relatively easy to know when one can take a break (if such a thing is needed) or when one Has to be present.

In the interests of full disclosure, I don't have kids, my job is laptop based which means checking this stuff is a two-minute job during a working day, and mine is a Life not over burdened with responsibilities.

$2,800 and $1,949.  Single sided wildings, not even double sided bus shelters.  There are no words for it (well, actually, there are, but I'll refrain from using them).  I bought my bus shelters for $20/piece.

I know the feeling.  I try to go through Emovie and HA weekend offerings on Friday night, always hopeful that I will have a chance to bid on Sunday, and pretty much never find the time or simply forget because I'm busy with the kiddos.  Then I remember on Monday morning, check what my stuff went for and realize that it all went above what I was willing to pay for it.  In the end, no regrets.

I know the new Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson movie The Lighthouse is garnering great buzz, and may well become a future cult classic judging by some of the reviews (I haven't seen it yet, hope to do so when it opens in the UK next year), but is the (admittedly lovely looking) teaser one-sheet really already a $250 poster?!

A few years ago I bought a folded copy in a higher grade than the one sold at HA for a lot less, so I gotta admit being pleased when I saw this particular result.  Linenbacked copies are a dime a dozen these days, but a folded example in good condition is getting rather rare.

Really? You think the Werewolf of London was a bargain?  That poster has been available a few times in the past 5-6 years - the last time Heritage auctioned it, it couldn't even reach $18K and had been offered multiple times in the $25-30K range with no interest.

Conversely, I wanted to agree the Invisible Man was high (I actually had a copy of this card about 6 years ago and sold it for around $20K), but do you have any other Invisible Man comps to compare it to? The one I sold had slight restoration, and we've seen what the very best Universal lobbies have been bringing at auction lately, compared to those some might say it under performed. I don't think anyone would argue it's far more rare than the Frankenstein montage or either of the Dracula close-up cards.

Just my opinion, Crow.  I really like the color saturation on that Werewolf of London.  Yeah, I can see your point with the data you shared on it's recent attempted sale history.  Man, it's pretty.  If the wolf was on it...

57k is very healthy for any photo based lc, to me.

One thing that I like to do (I'm sure a lot of people do this) is to add up all the posters I already own and see how much they sell for.  Then compare it to what I originally paid for said posters over the past 18 years (ever since I started collecting).  I owned 76 posters out of this weekend's crop, and when I add up the results, I made more than x5 what I paid for those posters (if I was selling of course).  That to me is a healthy market.  It makes me feel rich, if only for a few seconds ;)

That Joker is also the "mis-spelt" version. I don't feel comfortable with the story that this and the other very badly "mis-spelt" styles originating from SE Asia were recalled. Where did that information come from? How many IMAX cinemas are there in Thailand/Singapore that would require so many different US international versions to be printed? The correctly spelt playing card style has "Imax is a registered trademark wording" and a different credit layout. The colour intensity on the reverse is noticeably different as well. Why would that be if the printer simply had to reprint posters with a correct spelling of "experience"?

That’s about the going rate. The artist is very popular in the movie print scene and these are a small run (100). Most are long since settled in with collectors, so they don’t come up for sale very often at all.

Seeing the Laura half sheet sell for $1752 was quite a nice surprise, especially being paper-backed.

http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/2406960.html

I bought mine from Ebay about 10 years ago now and paid around $500 for it if i recall correctly.

Sidenote: The R1952 half sheet doesn't reach those prices but is considerably scarcer than the original 44 release.

If it had been the Reynold Brown artwork it certainly would have gone much higher.
Agree that it still seems like a small deal, but not enough of one to flip at HA.
All in, in USD is close to $37K,  I think it would be hard to get more than 50ish out of it especially if the 3rd party photos of it are accurate as to its condition.

Obviously, poster buying is going to become completely obsolete as this thing drags on and people have other things to think about.  Like their jobs, food on the table and family.

This being said, I think a big part of the downturn is due to their new system.  I use to bid every week, and now I’ve only looked at it twice since the beginning of the year.  I don’t like the fact that i have to bid early to secure my spot, and then bid again when the auction goes on.  It was so much better before. 

It would be so much more interesting if Grey participated to the forum instead of bombarding us with ads.

Indeed.

But, participation would mean having to explain company policy over grading...!

And bearing in mind Bruce did, and then did Not participate, I guess we can see where that might go.

I can't imagine ever entering the parallel universe of Sothebys online auctions as a bidder but I could imagine being a consignor one day. The signed posters and many others were consigned by Surgit Sohal - https://www.sothebys.com/en/press/film-fanatics-star-studded-collection-comes-to-sothebys (https://www.sothebys.com/en/press/film-fanatics-star-studded-collection-comes-to-sothebys) - this guy spent hours and hours waiting in pens at premieres for nearly 40 years so I hope the financial reward of the sale adequately compensated him for the family-time he lost. The autographs are all undoubtedly genuine - I have often seen him at film events and invariably he would offer a linen-backed poster to be signed - an expensive and risky action given the jostling and high chance of getting a rushed, scribbled and/or smudged signature. Nevertheless, even allowing for Sothebys alternative world of price realisation the results support my contention that genuine signatures of A-list celebrities do add value in the market, in spite of many on here disliking the practice. I get my one sheets or quads signed (at no cost) at ticketed events and screenings I attend - I don't have the patience to wait more than 30 minutes for a celebrity - I'm also more fussy about the chosen poster, the colour of the pen and the placement of the signature.

I will never understand the point of buying a piece of paper with a signature on it. 

1. I don't trust ANY signature.  Mark said the autographs are genuine, and they very well might be, but who knows if the seller didn't add a few more of his own just to make the deal a little more lucrative.  I just don't trust people and money. 

2. WHY?  Why would anyone want a piece of paper signed by SOMEONE THEY HAVE NEVER MET.  I don't get it.  What's the point?  They were not there, there is zero memory attached to it and it mars the poster.  What they get is a piece of paper with a trace of ink that may or may not be authentic.

It baffles me.

I missed that one, wow! Thanks for all that information, Mark. I was curious about the provenance and wondered if it was from a single collection.

Although I don't collect them, I also like a signature from a director/main star on the right poster in the right location with the right pen.

For example, I don't love the size/placement of Audrey Tatou's sig on Amelie (from the Sotheby's auction):

(https://sothebys-md.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/19b753d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1403x2000+0+0/resize/800x1140!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsothebys-md.brightspotcdn.com%2F58%2F73%2Fcb388db44d9fb233c8b8fd040b2a%2F223l20895-bj978.jpg)

But Rich shared this Reservoir Dogs on Facebook recently which I thought was cool (both the sig and doodle):

I don't give a hoot about certification and other snake oil (certification is a mixed bag and over drinks let's share some major shenanigans in that smoke and mirrors crap).  Either I have gotten the signature myself,  trust the signature from my own knowledge, or trust the source.  Once again, buy what you like, trust, and don't feel you overspent.  Just Ole Okie's strategy.

A certification means absolutely nothing.  NOTHING.  I know someone who can reproduce a signature after seeing it once.  People are fools.

A signature should have the name of the person it is signed to for the enjoyment of that person because he or she got it in person.  Anything short of that is COMPLETE BS.

Maybe I should ask my friend to start a business.

I stopped getting them signed after George Wilbur, the stuntman who played Michael Myers in HALLOWEEN 4 and HALLOWEEN 6: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS) signed one.

This is my ONLY signed poster.  It was on an easel at the entrance of the theater for the movie's L.A. premiere and I got it afterward.  I kept it because it reminds me of my years at DreamWorks, so there is a little nostalgia factor associated with it.  Otherwise, it would have gone in the trash where it belongs.

As I was looking for it, I also found this one...  That was used during the last meeting at DreamWorks before Spielberg suggested a title change.  The Uncool was not very commercial.  It's not worth anything, but there is a little bit of movie history attached to it.

I was watching this auction this morning (https://ukm.propstoreauction.com/m/view-auctions/catalog/id/240/) trying to figure out if the current state of the economy was slowing purchasing down a bit and if it was time to pounce.  I never bid on these auctions because between their 25% fee and shipping it's just too expensive. 

But I did watch, and I still can't figure it out.  Some items were low, and some outrageously expensive.  $7,700 for a Hildebrand quad is just stupid, imo.

Any thoughts?

I was wondering the same thing during the last HA signature auction, but the results were fairly strong and seemed to indicate that there wasn't any substantial decrease in bidding.  I guess it might have been a bit too early back in March to see the real impact of the economic slowdown on the hobby.  I'm curious to see how their July auction will fare.

The Get Carter was cheap imo.
£2000 plus the ridiculous BP of 25% = £2500

I've seen these go for around £3500-£4000 so a good deal.

However, I don't think I'm the only one to think that auction houses are just plain greedy.

Yes I know they have wages to pay, advertising fees to pay etc but some are charging 20% selling fee plus 25% BP.

In one UK auction they had 69 lots and they went for just under £38,000

So a rough calculation is that they made £7,600 from seller fees and £9,500 from BP. £17100 total.

Not a bad days takings.

Consider the fact that this was a very small auction - they usually have around 400 lots and then you're getting up towards the £200,000 sales figure -  £40,000 seller fees and £50,000 BP. £90,000 total.

Not bad when you consider they haven't actually purchased anything so have no outlay except advertising fees, catalogues etc.

Must be a chance for an auction house start-up to charge way less fees to get some of that market share.

Post by: eatbrie on April 24, 2020, 10:57:27 AM
I totally agree, which is why I don't participate in those sales.  25% fees is just outrageous, imo, and there is something really unethical about it.  Sometimes I see things that I really want and I must stop myself from signing in, but I think it's important to recognize greed and set limits.

And it's usually higher than that, as the 25% is then added to the 3% internet charge, plus VAT on that at 20%.. so around the 30% mark.  Horrendous. One auction house the other day had 28%, plus the rest...

If we don't stop bidding at these places, they will continue to take the piss...

Buyer's commission was introduced in the mid 70's and has crept higher and higher over the years. Given the seller is the auctioneer's client and receives a service for the commission he pays I've never understood what the buyer gets for the commission he pays.

In the UK there was a failed attempt to get buyers commission abolished in the early 80's -

I suppose I'm a bit of a whore in that if I saw a poster I really wanted, I'd begrudgingly stump up the BP and fees and go for it...but because I collect at the cheaper end, the ~25% extra means bids end up being higher than what I perceive to be a fair price.

They seem to be selling for a decent amount, so I doubt they miss my custom! I seem to see folk outside 'hardcore' poster collectors sharing their poster auction links...so I suppose their marketing team have done a good job in promoting their auctions.

And then I try HA and can't win anything :(  It's amazing how much some crap poster sells for.  I tried to bid on the You Only Live Twice 6sht poster, I put $1,900 ($2,300 w/ BP), even though the last one sold for $1,400 in 2016, and got outbid.  Damn!!!  It's not even a nice poster.

Maybe because the market is so dry, people are going crazy over whatever there is.

I would argue that makes more sense than this Wonder Woman selling for $174 (the same week Bruce sells one for $17, and it's another one of those posters he has offered at least one of every month since the movie came out).

One the bright side, you can just think how much money you will save when Bruce offers another one for sale and you buy it there.

I don't buy horror (except wahn... *giggle*) but I would have been seriously tempted to bid on the Son of Frankenstein 3-sheet had I known it would sell for less than $3,500.

It would interesting to know what is going on here?  Maybe this somehow wasn’t Jim’s copy?  Or when it was listed on eBay it was on consignment to Jim?

From Bruce:

Before the auction closed, he emailed and said he would rather pay the commissions and get the poster back than have it sell for that amount.

No auction can stop this, because he could have instead easily had any friend bid "for him", and accomplish the same thing (and I am sure that happens a lot, especially in the vast majority of auctions that hide their bidder IDs). But because he is an honest and honorable man, he did it openly, with no subterfuge. However, he DID make a mistake in consigning the poster in the first place, when the rules were so clear.

He will get the poster back, but pay the full selling commission. And he will be told to never send any consignment again if he can't accept that it will sell to the highest bidder. If he can't accept that, he can't consign again.

Compare the above to other auctions that not only allow their consignors to bid on their own items, but also regularly make deals with them where on items they "buy back" they are charged greatly reduced commissions, and sometimes zero commissions. That is auction sanctioned shill bidding.

I want no consignors who can't accept the no reserve aspect of our auctions. That is why a number of people don't consign to us, and I am fine with that.

This is interesting info about that Son of Frankenstein British 3S.  While I'm aware of its rarity, the fact that the whole top section is missing and has been (rather clumsily) reconstructed is the reason why I didn't bid on it, and I expect that this was the calculation that many potential buyers made too.  Therefore I'm not surprised by the disappointing result.

Post by: eatbrie on November 11, 2020, 02:00:25 PM
I agree.  The top part is just awful and I don’t understand why this poster is worth even 10% of what the seller bought it back for.  I mean, it’s missing the most important part of the poster and whoever painted it did a terrible job.  What’s the point of owning 2/3 of a poster when you know you’ll never find the missing 1/3?  It baffles me.

It reminds me of that Bean movie where Bean paints a face over Whistlers Mother.  It looks the same to me.

You mean the Son of Frankenstein poster? I knew that price was too gewd to be true. What I mean is, I knew no seller would let it go for that. Some sellers/dealers get a misguided "six sense" whiff about certain items they own and expect (and demand) a bidding frenzy, primarily because what they have is unusual. Rare doesn't always mean $$$. Dealers have got to wake up and understand that. As for this poster, I did get excited about it and I've never seen the movie and don't like the franchise but I'm glad I didn't bid because I got the misguided six sense whiff. I also don't believe the consignor would let it go for $8000 (which would have been my maximum). Oh well, onto December's Meggie!

You know, I disagree with you. The top third of the poster is a faithful reproduction of what it originally looked like, based on press material. Do I like the head? No, I think it's too small and weirdly positioned but this is what the original must have looked like based on press material. I think the new paper could have merged a little less conspicuously with the bottom two thirds but what was created looks like it was by the same hand. I've seen worse artwork by John Constable, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Edward Hopper, David Hockney and particularly Jean-Michel Basquiat which are on par with that lady's attempt in Borja but sell for millions of dollars.

Not sure how the auction house can 'play' their customers.  No one is forcing the customer to bid and all one has to do is have a look around eBay to assess how affordable these pieces are before committing such huge sums.

As for the April dated NTTD quad, there are enough of them floating around to be able to BIN for roughly £100.  So, they are not rare, nor special and certainly not artistic enough to warrant such attention.

Am sure it is just the super rich enjoying the Emperor's New Clothes cache of having bought from Sotheby's.  And good on Sotheby's for having got themselves into that position.  Guess now I know to tell my benefactors where to sell my collection, come the time....

It's one thing to overpay for an original poster that you can get the same original for cheaper on ebay but this is different.  If high-rollers are bidding at Sothebys, where 95% of the posters are originals selling for thousands of dollars, it would seem low-handed to sneak a commercial poster in there and let someone pay nearly $2K for it.

Isn't the whole point of people spending that much being that they have faith that the auction house is selling quality original items?

You know, I don't really understand that.  The rich people I know (like 9 figures rich) are very careful with money and research everything.  They will not spend an extra penny if they don't have to.  I don't think these bidders are necessary rich, I think they're dumb and lazy.

I know I wanted you guys to outbid the dealers but this is ridiculous! On the 15th November Bill Collins auction, the highest selling lot was a R78 Spanish The Adventures of Robin Hood - it sold for $2450 AUS + 30% buyers premium. That's $3185. It was in poor condition, stained, the colours along the bottom were running and it was mounted on board! The last two that sold on EMP were in very good condition and went for $25 each, earlier this year. The Bill Collins auction prices have been crazy - especially on the stills - 11 photographs from Rear Window, in not very good condition went for $7,500+ 30% bp - I don't even think the photos are rare. 6 stills from The Ghost and Mrs Muir, with creases to edges, went for $2,925 - one is a close-up of Whitford Kane. Big deal! Someone loves Bill Collins. Yum!

Yes, but AUS$2450 is about USD$43, so no big deal.
That's why they could get over $500 for a Portal reproduction Maltese Falcon - that was labeled reproduction in the listing.

Yes Thierry, even though I would always prefer a folded copy, I have been relaxing my stance about linenbacked poster but only for large format (such as this one), as it makes them easier to frame.  As to condition, I can be flexible about it if the poster in question is rare, which is certainly the case for this Dracula.

I usually do the same about excluding all the linenbacked stuff from my wish list, lol.  As I said, I'm only making exception to my "no linen" rule for large paper that happens to be rare (like your Laura 6-sheet for example).  This large format Italian Dracula fits that criteria, so I decided to acquire it.

Did Heritage add a new policy to their major auctions? I had several things on my watch list. I had bid on my most-sought after poster during the pre-auction, THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL. The night before the auction,  I was top bidder with final amount (with fees) just over $2,000. The auction came up, I was ready, and...no one bid higher. Great! I was happy and so I didn't bid on anything else. Later that night, I checked what things went for and my HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL was no longer mine! What happened? Argh!!!!

I usually wait for everyone to be done bidding, I wait a few seconds, then I start bidding.  Bidders sometimes walk away thinking that they have an item and not realizing that the countdown is not over.  It’s a thing.

Looks like it might have gotten an $1800 bid during the live session, resulting in a final price of $2160.
Were you the $1800 bidder, or were you the $1700 bidder (making it $2040 with premium)?

How do you see the bidding history? I didn't get it so I must have been #2. But I swear I watched the live bidding and no one else bid...unless I wasn't the top bidder when that happened.  Do they have that stupid second chance bidding thing after the auction like they do for the weekly auctions? I so hate that...

Maybe it was a phone bidder who swooped in at the last minute?  I usually bid over the phone myself, I find that it's the best way to minimize any technical glitch.

Hahaha touche!!!  Yeah, you're right.  I waited so long to find that 6sht folded, and eventually had to resign myself to buy linen.  So I get it.

Btw, that Horror of Dracula is awesome!!!  I went thru the sale very quickly early on this week and didn't even notice it.  Glad it's going to a nice coilection.

My gahdneh - the Jaws limited edition print at Heritage went cheaply - only $384!! I preferred the regular edition in blue tones, tho. At least it wasn't signed. It would have looked better without the white teeth next to the title, tho. It's unfortunately placed and resembles the outline of the shark's eye. So I passed. I'm picky these days. All planets have to be aligned for me to vomit up coins for something. Thanks gahd Mondo release several posters for many titles - some artists make me tingle and sahm make me tank. Which wahns? Not so fast, sillies! Getting excited for the big day? Go for it!!!

Thanks Thierry, I've been looking for it for a while as I'm a big fan of early Hammer paper.  It's the largest poster size for that title, and I think it will go well with my French 47 x 63 that has a similar composition but totally different feel by Guy Gerard Noel.

Yes. I watched the live auction happen. No one bid during it, and it closed with a proxy bid from earlier. Someone must have outbid me beforehand and I just didn't notice.  I can't think of any other reason for explaining it.

Not sure how it is it characterized in the bid history, but you can place a bid after the pre-bidding ends but before the lot comes up for live bidding. Perhaps someone did this?

This is going to sound strange since I know Bruce gets the highest prices overall, blah blah - but emovie has never even gotten close to $2000 for a copy of this poster. The copy they had in the Halloween auction two weeks ago only went for $1300 and the one he had earlier in the year went for $1450 (which is the highest tehy've ever gotten for a copy). They seem to get at least one or two a year, so save yourself $700-800 or more(!) and get the next one Bruce has.

Hi. Thanks for the advice. I was watching the one in the Halloween sale, but wanted one in a little better condition. Believe me, if Bruce has had them up in the past and they were very good or better, I was bidding on it. But you are right. Emovie is usually less expensive (no buyer premiums) than HA.  I guess I just lost my head on the HA auction.  Thanks for "talking me down."

what a load of two-faced bullshit after years of lying about other auction houses


Quote from: descposter on November 11, 2020, 10:28:21 AM
From Bruce:

Before the auction closed, he emailed and said he would rather pay the commissions and get the poster back than have it sell for that amount.

No auction can stop this, because he could have instead easily had any friend bid "for him", and accomplish the same thing (and I am sure that happens a lot, especially in the vast majority of auctions that hide their bidder IDs). But because he is an honest and honorable man, he did it openly, with no subterfuge. However, he DID make a mistake in consigning the poster in the first place, when the rules were so clear.

He will get the poster back, but pay the full selling commission. And he will be told to never send any consignment again if he can't accept that it will sell to the highest bidder. If he can't accept that, he can't consign again.

Compare the above to other auctions that not only allow their consignors to bid on their own items, but also regularly make deals with them where on items they "buy back" they are charged greatly reduced commissions, and sometimes zero commissions. That is auction sanctioned shill bidding.

I want no consignors who can't accept the no reserve aspect of our auctions. That is why a number of people don't consign to us, and I am fine with that.

To be honest, I'm not completely surprised that so many lots did not sell.  They're doing a crappy job at advertising their sales.  Now granted, I don't know shit about most sales going on, but they could have advertise on the many Star Wars sites, on this forum and others...  They do none of that.  Or maybe I didn't see it.  It may also be that people are coming to their senses and realizing that most posters are not worth that much.  Still, Vertigo at $27,000  Doh.gif Doh.gif Doh.gif

To be fair, they probably Are advertising their sales, but only to people with larger, wider and deeper pockets than the likes of us.

And even if they did advertise here, to what end?  We wouldn't buy.

The fact a few lots went unsold will probably be made up for in commissions from the lots that did sell.  And the remainder are kept for another day...

I saw this 1914 billboard (8-sheet) poster for "Panama and the Canal from an Aeroplane" up for auction a couple weeks ago.

The estimate was $1000-$1500 and I may have actually bid if it had stayed in that range.

Anyway, it went for $8k. Seems like if anything, the value could be higher if auctioned by a "higher tier" venue as there's crossover appeal to film and aviation collectors.

But I am mostly just impressed that a poster of this size survived in such condition from so long ago.

These vintage Marvel black light posters have been very popular for awhile now, especially in nice condition like these are.  When I was young we tacked them to the wall multiple times, moved them around, passed them down to younger siblings, traded them for matchbox/hot wheels cars...  They got pretty beat up back then.  Nice condition ones like these are in demand.  Okie

All movie paper has gotten out of control price-wise. Posters I used to get for $10-$25 are now $50-$200. Those that were more pricey ($100 or so) now go for more than $1,000. Insane!

It's hard for me because I only collect FULL sets WITHOUT pinholes.  I hate pinholes on lobbies.  So it limits my reach.  Whatever is left goes for way beyond what it's worth.  Sometimes I catch myself overbidding, because a set is needed for a sub collection, something that did not happen in the past.  Booooo!

I'm sure it's very convenient to some but this is not how I bid.  At Emovie, I always bid at the 5mn mark; at HA, I bid in person when the item is up for grab or not at all.  It obviously has its limitations, I wish I could have bid on more today, especially on two items that went way way lower than what I would have bid, but so be it.  Being there is part of the experience.

Never.  Not even once.  I actually do not understand why people bid early since everything happens within the last 5mn.  Which is also why I try to check the auctions a day or two before.  That's really all the time you need.

Thierry, I did get 2 posters yesterday at Heritage.  The big item for me was the large Italian 4F  for Horror of Dracula (style B), to complement the style A I bought last year.  Linenbacked unfortunately, but it’s a large format that is quite rare, so I bought the bullet (yet again, lol).  I also acquired  a folded copy of Tarzan and the Leopard Woman US one-sheet, which I wasn’t planning on getting, but it was going to sell at a rather low price so I scooped it at the last minute.  I’ve always liked that poster, and most copies that surface are on linen, so its unrestored state was the cinch for me this time.

Nice, I actually thought of you when I saw the poster.  I didn't know whether you had it or not.  If you ever see a folded version, lmk hahaha

Sadly, I only got a couple too. Not as nice as your Dracula.

That Lady from Shanghai is pretty great though, so you should be happy about that pick up.

I noticed that some of the beautiful Italian posters in yesterday's auction failed to sell, no doubt because of the aggressively high estimates (Son of Frankenstein, Walking Dead and Border Town for example).

When I saw that two of the cover lots failed to sell and that the Valentino didn't even reach $20K against a 25-50K estimate I assumed the auction overall was a failure, then I looked and saw they did over $1.7 Million on the 420 lots that did sell and was like, wow.
Really, they just knock it out of the park every single time.

Thierry, I side with you on this one. I have a few linenbacked posters but I do not like them. I find them harder to frame, heavy and more difficult to store. They don't even feel like "posters" any longer. My original PSYCHO, a re-release of DRACULA'S DAUGHTER and THE SON OF FRANKENSTEIN and a few others just sit in their tubes. I wish they were NOT linenbacked, but ...

I'm just NOT a fan.

Agreed.
I just sold a beautiful Goldfinger quad to the organizer of the annual Sotheby's JB auction for a silly price, and what is the first thing he wanted me to do?
Ship it off to his restorer so it could be linenbacked.  Almost made me cancel the sale, but there goes another beautiful poster down the drain.

To LB or not to LB that is the question....

I also side with Thierry on the LB debate. Interestingly enough I have purchased two vintage Mexican posters (cheaply) in poor condition due to being Linen Backed. They have multiple small hair line creases and lifting (from the backing) due to the paper separating from the heavy duck canvas (aka linen). I am going to try and remove the backing and 'restore' these posters as (in theory) the glue used should be water soluble and the process reversible. I see a whole area of expertise being developed for LB reversal (kind of like the Tattoo removal business).

Truly pathetic, imo.  Sad and pathetic.  But hey, when a Breakfast at Tifany's Linen sells for $9k at HA ( notworthy.gif), I guess the LB fans have a point.  People don't care.  Personally, I'll stick with my mint folded one.

You SOLD it to Sotheby's?  You don't get commission on the sale price?

And, if you're selling it, presumably this is because you've finished collecting the series and the thrust now is profit?  Have I got that right?

Just curious about the business and the thinking?

To LB or not to LB that is the question....

We are collectors of paper and to radically distort the form of the poster by mounting it on canvas seems wrong to me. If a poster has to be backed for reasons of fragility or conservation then use paper. as any reputable museum conservator would. Unfortunately, this is not a widespread practice as it doesn't fit in with the requirements of dealers.

I don't like linenbacked posters at all too, unfortunately I have several.

I regret that auction websites like eMovie are doing more and more auctions with linenbacked posters (the major auctions for example)

Difficult to know the real condition of the poster before linenback when you see what a professional can do with a poster in very poor condition. And I have big doubts (after certain purchases) on the  sellers informations of the 'Very Good prior restoration' quality. Now, I avoid compulsive buying of linenbacked posters.

I'm quite sad to see some posters I'm looking for, like a Laura one sheet linenbacked on HA , or a 'Time Machine', 'When World Collides', some M.Monroe linenbacked posters on eMovie ... (And considering final prices, I don't regret but I find it incomprehensible -> DON'T BOTHER TO KNOCK 1700$, TIME MACHINE 1800$)

Roughly a third of the sale price.  I'd say something just shy of $700k.

Hammer Price $1000
BP of 20% equals $1200
Commission of 20% equals $200 from the hammer price.

Consignor gets $800, Heritage gets $400 of sale price.  $400 being 2/3 of the sale price.

Have I got that right?

I'd say the only percentage we can be fairly sure of is the buyer's premium. everything else is up for negotiation. In their comic auctions, it's actually not unusual for them to give up even a portion of their BP to sellers who have top material because of the competition in that area.
But that's not the case in posters, no one comes close to the overall level of crushing results they get. I mean, who gets nearly $4K for a Back to the Future 1-sheet?
I'd be happy with whatever premium they wanted to charge with that kind of result.

A couple days ago at Sotheby's.  Tell me if I'm wrong, but don't they have fees on top of the hammer price?  I won't even mention the "signed" stuff because I'm still laughing about it.

Some serious bidders there, especially considering they bid that much more than the estimates, which they probably know are already on the high side.  It would be interesting to see which of the top auction houses gets the highest bids.  In terms of "top" auction houses, a quick search says Sotheby's is second to Christie's.

A lot of collectibles are seeing crazy-ass prices now. It's not only movie posters. The best examples of baseball cards, comic books, prints and the like are fetching lofty prices. Legit Banksy items have gone up ridiculously. Even vintage guitars are up. WTF is an NFT, and why are people willing to pay money for one?

It probably has something to do with the pandemic.

If you were otherwise unaffected financially, maybe you didn't take a vacation and are sitting on some cash. Maybe you feel extra motivation to get that poster or comic book you have always wanted because you know someone who got really sick or died from Covid. Life is fragile.
Maybe it's FOMO and people are looking at these items as investments.

I don't know why, but the whole thing is pretty insane. $9580 for a Who Framed Roger Rabbit Mylar? WTF?
I guess the million dollar question is . . . is this a blip or a trend?

I agree that prices for collectibles seem to have gone up this past year, and I see the same phenomenon in fine arts.  I also believe that the pandemic might have something to do with this.  It could be that in times of anxiety and uncertainty, investing in collectibles like movie posters and comic books, or in paintings and sculptures, feels like a safer bet than other traditional investments that have been impacted by the pandemic, such as real estate (which has taken a hit here in NYC).  Whatever the cause, it will be interesting to see how long this will last.

My guess is the stimulus... Most regular Joes got a check or two but businesses got salaries. I have a relatively small business and we were able to get almost $100K. We paid our employees with it and followed the rules to get it forgiven. If I was a single owner with a staff of 20 I could have gotten much more. That is my guess, Uncle Sam is paying for all this  allowing folks to enter collectible markets with chunks of change.

Some good results for the consignors in that auction. I think because Prop Store have bidders with deep pockets from their big auctions and also because they market the poster auctions really well (a nice PDF catalogue that is presented well, a printed mini-catalogue that they send out, good use of social media).

I received a mini catalogue through the post and I've seen it advertised a lot over Facebook (in various poster and print groups), Instagram and articles on a couple of websites I visit...so I felt like I saw a lot of marketing for it. But I take your point that if seasoned poster collectors missed it, perhaps they need to extend to other avenues like the LAMP newsletter (or here!).

How is it advertised well?  I am a collector and I didn't even know it was happening.  Now granted, I would have never bid on any of this stuff because it's way beyond my means, but still, it would have been nice to know.

Well, I guess you could sign up to newsletters and emails...

I finally got a chance to check Prop Store's last poster auction, and it is quite something.  As it is, most of these posters can be found for half the hammer price, if not even less.  It just takes a little research, which is 90% of the fun.  I'm assuming that the final price includes their fees.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51139889057_c4e83b3180_c.jpg)
$2,500 for half a poster!!!  What's the point?

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51139889082_70694d7b70_c.jpg)
$3,500!!!!

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51139889037_576bcae309_c.jpg)
This one I really don't get.  It shows up every week, sometimes multiple times.  At least get the No Date version.  $3,500.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51140776678_38a1bf118d_c.jpg)
$6,600????  No comment.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51140564726_b43513ed2e_c.jpg)
$1,100.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51141336144_1ed2e53ea2_c.jpg)
$2,000!

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51140776633_d254a0873a_c.jpg)
$1,700!!!

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51139889252_51ff80c034_c.jpg)
This is the timed version edition.  There are 1,500 of these floating around.  They never sell for more than $200.  $1,000!

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51139889257_58a6c4cb86_c.jpg)
$2,800!

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51141336319_503726ba7a_c.jpg)
$3,800!!!

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51139889297_050140f6de_c.jpg)
$3,800!!!  I remember buying my set for $400 and thinking that I totally overpaid.  I got beat!!!

There are so many more.

Bonkers.

...I WISH I had that disposable income for a single poster...but even then I don't think I'd ever give up that much on a single poster. I'm glad I'm not after some of those rarer/pricier posters myself...I personally haven't gone over $300 for a single poster, and I do have some gems in my collection.
Patience/searching is definitely key, as said above...along with that satisfaction of getting a good deal on what you want.

We've been thru this a thousand times.  It's so easy to reciprocate a signature to perfection, so easy, and there is ZERO WAY to prove it is legit.  ZERO!!!!  So in essence, you'll never know, which is even worse imo. 

"Check out this signature!!!  It may or may not be real.  I will never know for sure, since I wasn't there.  I did spend $7,000 on a $5 poster, though.  Isn't it cool???"

I assumed the signature was obtained from a " send in" where you mail your poster off to an event organiser (too risky to send an original BTTF poster) and pay extra for the artist you never meet to write his character name below his signature. I don't understand why anyone would want to pay hundreds of dollars to do that as the pleasure and memories come from meeting the celebrity. I agree with Thierry's 99% figure for faked signed posters sold on ebay but where I differ is that knowledgeable sellers are able to assess authenticity and provenance beyond a reasonable doubt. For instance, many of the signed posters consigned to Sothebys earlier this month, which achieved spectacular prices, were from someone who I have regularly seen obtaining them with no payment involved, as I met the celebrities at the same time. It seems to me getting a genuine signature of an A-list actor or director is a proven way of adding value to a poster, particularly a low-value one.

That, I cannot agree with, simply because I know how easy it is to reciprocate someone's signature.  It's like all these signed actors pictures from the golden era, be it Cary Grant or Katharine Hepburn...  It's a known fact that actors didn't have the time to sign hundreds of autographs, nor did they care doing so, so they had their assistants (or fan club reps) sign headshots for them.  I see them all over the place now, I see them at knowledgeable sellers' auctions with CoAs, and I know they are not authentic.   Yet people spend so much money on them.  I mean, more power to the dealers, good for them, but I cant help shaking my head every single time. 

Sadly, the ONLY autographs I trust are the ones with the signee's name on it, and the reason I would never touch them is bc they were not signed to me.

Its legit , ive dealt with autographs since '99

Theres lots of legit autographs out there but it requires research , ive gotten some fantastic gems : Elvis , de Niro resume , Streep sgd magazine , several Streisands (photo , note , cur from HD set , LP) , Connery , Moore (ttm & 2 posters thru Bondstars) , Stallone sgd Rocky poster (from NYCC '12) , several Walkens (resume , cut , VHS sleeve) , Robert Shaw , dir Cimino , Cazale cut , Ledger cut , Jaws novel (by trio , from MV set)

Some big (retired) stars like Welch , Fonda , Loren still do ttm......but of course if you write to Nicholson , Scar Jo or Portman of course its gonna be a waste of time as they do not respond ttm. Youd think Walken would rerspond now but still impossible ttm

Theres also a list of ebay forgers out there besides those i would not buy from Hollywood Show (ebay store/website) , Piece of the Past (notorious forger) , Coaches Corner (ditto) , outlaw hobbies (theyre on RACC recommended but "autograph guru" Bendu thinks theyre dubious)

"It's a known fact that actors didn't have the time to sign hundreds of autographs, nor did they care doing so, so they had their assistants (or fan club reps) sign headshots for them" 

If were talking big names like Monroe then yeah but the smaller stars usually sgd ttm......i think even Gable sgd ttm in the beginning. Monroe and Elvis usually inscribed on the street (my Elvis is un-ins though but it has been verified)

"Sadly, the ONLY autographs I trust are the ones with the signee's name on it"

Well , i sure as hell aint gonna pay Stallone extra for that (unless he added Rocky). Why the hell would i have my own name added to movie posters , it would make it difficult to resell should i decide to quit collecting one day. I usually cut off the inscription on cards as none have my name

"I don't understand why anyone would want to pay hundreds of dollars to do that as the pleasure and memories come from meeting the celebrity"

Because theres no way otherwise to get it , they might live in a foreign country , the cost of flights....many reasons

"I agree with Thierry's 99% figure for faked signed posters"

If you consentrate on just posters then yes.....most of them are terrible forgeries and usually looks nothing like the real deal. But you can get , say , Chuck Norris at cons

"It seems to me getting a genuine signature of an A-list actor or director is a proven way of adding value to a poster, particularly a low-value one"

Of course

Its very very difficult to get a complete cast sgd poster , for example my Melrose poster only sgd by 2 (both IP at cons) and theres like 8 more to go......or with 007 were most of the cast is dead. Common sense tells you getting Avengers sgd poster is pretty much impossible (Portman non-signer cept books and Scar Jo pretty much too) but better with a few real sigs than none at all imo

You can find legit CDs sgd by J-Lo or by Swift , theyre big stars currently at least

You know, T, there was a different bidder the last couple of years that also seemed to pay higher than expected prices at auctions (that means at least one other bidder was right there with them, eh?).  I noticed at least one of those pieces showing back up at auction recently and I bought it (Bride of Frankenstein 1935 Spanish magazine) for less than half the price of what that bidder paid just a couple of years ago.  Perhaps patience and collecting longevity wins out in the end sometimes compared to the short term blips?!  Best, Okie

It's mostly due to the main collectors of older/pre-war/monster/etc stuff are much older and passing away, thus the competition and thus prices are going down on some stuff. The reason 70s and 80s stuff is exploding is because the generation that grew up on that stuff now has disposable income to spend on it, and are fighting over items and thus bidding them up.

To be honest, I feel like both auction houses, Emovie and HA, have been a little lax on their grading.  It didn't use to be this way, much more thorough in the past, but if people don't mind, I don't see any reason for them to change.  Unfortunately, it sometimes takes 6 months for me to get my stuff, so I have no room to complain at this point.

The one you mentioned is definitely wrong.  This is Poor in my book.

I have an idea, but I have been kinda detached for a bit, so I'm not completely positive.  Then again, even if I knew for sure, I would not share my thoughts.  There is at least one member who knows for sure.  Just in case the rumor mongers go bat feces, I will say unequivocally that is isn't me.  My usernames tend to be much more vulgar and/or tongue in cheek for those who follow along.

I still find pieces to collect that I think are a good price here and there.  What's happened to me as I've collected over the decades is I feel less and less like I "have" to buy a specific piece.  I think some of the reason for this is I know there's always another piece I'll like just around the corner.  Funny how that happens.

Yeah, some good results for the print consignors last night (not just those three either). Same with the big Alamo auction (and the last couple of Prop Store auctions).

It’d be interesting to see if the bidders are the new users from the big Alamo auction (most of which I assume were print collectors), or if traditional poster collectors are dabbling too.

And vice versa, would be interesting to see if the print collectors who registered have started bidding on original movie posters.

Just thinking aloud, not a request for info which you deem private, Bruce!

It’d also be interesting to see if Heritage see a glut of new registrations with their print auction…from what I saw in some print groups, folk were impressed with the prints on offer, but the buyer’s premium is a new thing to many of them (which they were obviously less thrilled with).

Yes, I remember some were likening it to Beanie Babies. 15 years later the art print market has never been stronger and the best examples of those early "Golden Age" Mondo/Alamo releases will continue to appreciate in value.

Congratulations to you guys on the print collecting boon.  You bought what you liked and the collector market followed!  That's old school collecting success which was unexpected, though may help you and your family someday. Kind of like when Babara Mandrell said, "I was Country, when Country wasn't cool."

I actually transferred some of my best pieces to a climate controlled facility by my house, which gives me more room to collect here at home :)  Since I never look at them anyway, might have them be locked up somewhere else.  Out of sight, out of mind, as they say.

It does beg the question why we collect.  Similarly for me, with only a few hundred Bond posters, I can never get them out again for a looksee.

I couldn’t do that. I would bag and board mine just so I can see them once in awhile. Just the USD and backings sizes I’m looking at come from the US so getting it here cost quite a bit right now.

This is pretty much me too. I have a few up on the walls now, but I never look at any of the posters rolled up or put away, just too much work. I do keep a couple of binders of my favorite lobbies by my desk to flip through every now and then, but once it's put in the storage room, it's just forgotten about.

Some pretty high final prices from the Heritage Alternative Movie Poster auction last night (prices below before BP is added). Some around 'normal' market value (Durieux Jaws, Stout and Moss Star Wars for example), but on the whole, some pretty nice results for the consignors. It was quite cool to see some of those older pieces appear in an auction like that

I was on the road throughout the sale, so I missed it all until a few minutes ago after I woke up this morning and your post reminded me of it.  I checked the results, and I have to say that the nicest thing about it is not to worry about it because you own most of it and bought your prints at $40/piece.

There are about 10-12 prints that I don’t own that I always wanted to get, but I now known that I waited too long ans that I will never own them.  On the other, I bought Durieux’ Iron Giant last year for $350 (I was really mad about it bc I hate buying 2nd hand and I thought I was being taken for a ride), but I guess it sold for slightly  more yesterday.  So maybe there is still a slim slim chance.

Too true. The two I wanted - Stout's Big Trouble in Little China and Moss's Blues Brothers - went far too high for me. I can never understand why I didn't purchase BTILC when they were first offered for sale by Alamo. Maybe I did and just didn't receive my prints (I would have have ordered 2 regulars and 2 variants) or I got confused having ordered Doyle's version, on sale at the same time. Blues Brothers was never available to purchase until one or two were offered for sale years later. There was definitely something strange going on with that one.

Hahaha I can tell you why I didn’t order it… I didn’t like it.  Changed my mind since, but at first I simply didn’t.  Then there is the Blade Runner.  Jeannie got both for me and decided to keep the variant.  I wasn’t too excited about the print so I didn’t really care.  The only one I really wanted were The Things, and I got them both.  Also happy that mine are uncut, unlike so many of them.

Sorry I outbid you though - but WarGames has a special place in my heart and I had to have it!
Two of the auctions did go for less than I thought I would - but I think I did fine on the three I won - which were the only three I bid on!
I like the system in place there - makes me wish I had tried it out sooner over eBay!

On a side note, i also missed the Euro, but I’m glad I did.  Watching the Italians win would have spoiled my day.  I did get to watch Wimbledon and the NBA though, so all was not lost :)

Agree, but at least they run and go forward, not like the French ones :)
Only reason I was for Italia is because English crowd shouldn't boo anthems and they did  (I know I look like a patriotic rightist, whatever it is, but I am not)... England was too confident, they expected a win.

As I thought, I missed it all.  Time with family is more important than any posters. 

I just checked the result, and maybe I'm wrong, but they look a little bit on the lower side of what I expected, at least for the ones I was initially interested in.  I always wonder if having two back to back major auctions (HA and Emp) is a good practice.  There is just so much money pout there for posters, and not allowing collectors to rebuild their pocket books is a mistake, imo.  There are 52 weeks a year.  Why have them back to back?  Is it ego?

Funny! 

But to the point, let’s say I spent $20k at HA a week ago.  It’s $20k I don’t necessarily have for Emovie a week later, especially if I don’t want my wife to know about it.  If the same sale happens a month later, then I can find new ways to hide it from her.  This is all to make a point of course.

How could it be anything but? (which is silly given the relative size if you compare them).
I'm sure they will both say that their auctions are planned out far in advance, but we already know HA has a Spring, Summer, and Thanksgiving Signature every year, and looking at the Emovie Calendar they will have their December Major open the week after the HA auction closes.
If anything, they should try to get out in front of the HA auctions, instead of following the rear, but that will probably take you harping on him endlessly before he listens.
Kind of like when I used to say that Emovie should do previews of their major auctions, because if they were that big you want to let people know what is coming so they can save up instead of just giving them a week to get everything in order. Bruce finally listened to that one and now their previews are a regular (and good) thing.

Well, I want everyone to know if they are looking for a Rear Window RR for $800+ - I might be your man… If I can find it.

I thought again prices were up. If you go by Ts Night Tide Index, it sold for $650.

White Christmas (I always consider picking up Pre holiday) sold for an all time high at $1600…

I was determined to get the flat Godfather as I think these were printed up with the advances and the shiny ones for primary distribution. Paid silly money but was required to compete with whomever wanted it too.

Several of the stills went for more than I thought.

We must be having different targets but then Universal Horror was never and interest of mine.

I guess T is still the only overlapping buyer between HA and Emovie, so Bruce will just have to keep his fingers crossed that he doesn't spend $20K at HA so he has that money available for Emovie (if he can ever remember when their auctions close).

You're right, at the end of the day, I am a very very small fish, and my opinion doesn't even matter to those guys,  If I was buying $80k lobby cards or Casablanca posters, maybe I'd carry more weight.  But for what it's worth, it's still my opinion that two big sales within a week of each other is not savvy business.

I think it's so that they can suck $2million+ out of the market right before your auction so your results aren't as good.

But hey, you had what...1500+ items end at $20 or less this past week, and that's what is most important, right?
Being able to brag that you sell more things for less money than anyone, not trying to set up your auctions to get the most money for your consignors.
And at your 50-75% commission on those items, that's probably $10K gross for you on those items alone - more than I made last week, so you are doing something right.

As for "the single most desirable lobby card there is", I know Carmen is very pleased. He wasn't the only who was convinced he would have to pay six figures for that card.

  a) every single item would set a record price the week after Heritage's record results
  b) only like a handful of items sold high and there really were bunches of bargains just like Bruce claims
  c) people even bought linen-backed posters. What a bunch of losers
  d) every item sold for a new record low. What a horrible auction

2. Bruce is a
  a) Genius!

3. I
  a) picked up some amazing deals and can't wait to show them in the other thread
  b) just watched as the bidding went sky-high and the "for millionaires only" signs came out
  c) am still trying to get a signal for my wi-fi out in the mountains. Did I miss anything?

4. I can't wait until
  a) these two auction houses go head-to-head again at the end of the year
  b) Bruce goes back to weekly auctions so I can find more stuff for $1 every week
  c) I get a wi-fi signal, did I miss anything?

I once lived in a house from 1906 with 12 foot ceilings and one huge long wall in what would have been a parlor/courting room back in the day.  The Dawn Patrol 24 sht in Bruce's current auction would have looked great on that wall.  I talk to my wife sometimes about buying an old warehouse to display 24 sheets and other large  posters/art. That would be a great place for shindigs!  Who would come visit?  Okie

Hi T, I definitely want to display it as it seems like sacrilege to store it.  Also, I enjoy hosting the occasional poster and comic art public exhibit.  Yes, I Iike several Errol Flynn movies and The Dawn Patrol is one of my favorites.  I also really like this 24 sheet with the strong image of Flynn in pilot gear while dog fights are going on in the background.  Classic!

Congrats on both of those Okie!  Just considering how a 24 sheet from the 30s survived is amazing enough in itself.  I hope you can find some way to display it (at least temporarily) as it certainly deserves this.  And well any Val Lewton paper is tops in my book (especially when it comes from the land of Mr. Matias!)

I haven't seen many Errol Flynn movies and I probably won't, bc I don't watch old movies anymore.  I know, sacrilege, right?  I watched tons growing up and at USC Cinema School, and I will stick to those.  Flynn was not part of the curriculum.  I like modern movies/TV shows  too much and I don't have time anymore.  Which is why I pass on so much stuff.  If I haven't seen it, I don't buy it.  I wrote a paper on Laura, which turned out to be one of my favs flicks and why I must now own it all.

Congrats Okie on that incredible 24-sheet for Dawn Patrol, a true rarity (that you snatched at a really great price to boot)!  While the movie itself isn't my fav Errol Flynn flick (that would be a tie between Captain Blood and Adventures of Robin Hood), it's a classic nonetheless, and what a great image of its main star on that massive poster... 

If you do end up hanging it, please post a pic on this forum so we can all admire it.

Monster: Thank you, my Three Rivers, CA chocolate store connection!

Charlie: Thanks, you're officially invited! Thank Matias below.

Chris: You sure are right on 1930s (or, pick most years) 24 sheets surviving. On an Argentinean subject, I think a few of us (Matias as Master of Ceremonies?) should host a "Horror Posters of Argentina" exhibit.  Should it travel to Argentina and the United States?  Canada?

Antoine: Hard to top Robin Hood and Captain Blood! Sure, I'll post a picture when I get in on display. I do expect to see you, though, at opening night of the "Horror Posters of Argentina" exhibit Matias just got voted into above to M.C.

T: The film print quality is quite good of The Dawn Patrol. It stars Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, and David Niven. I think it's well worth the watch and with your training and experience, you can probably see things and hold a nice lecture on the film we could all attend. I'd be first in line!

Matias: I think I heard you accept the nomination of the above, right?!

I think of it like the luxury watch market. Rolex makes thousands of the same submariner every year, yet it’s impossible to get at retail. They sell 50% market all day every day because tons of people want them. It’s also like breakfast aT Tiffany’s one sheets. I see them every auction, yet the price seems stronger than ever. Back to the future is another poster… they are everywhere yet the price is going up and up every auction cycle. Maybe it’s new people flooding the hobby?

Exactly.  You can add Jaws to the list of very common posters that one can find absolutely anywhere yet seem to command relatively high prices in relation to their complete lack of rarity.  Those posters are familiar to everyone and therefore there is always a demand for them.  The fact that there is nothing special about owning them doesn't have any effect on their popularity.

Doesn’t slow comics down. Graded population of Hulk 181 is like 30K publication probably close to 100K not rare at all but these sell for $10-20k on a regular basis.

I think there is a a availability sweet spot for the most desired posters. Like marketing a company. If you can’t find it out of sight out of mind. But if your buddy has one and you can get one too…

Weird economics for sure.

These guys are joker.

I prefere a poster correctly framed and havin waves than a poster without waves but badly framed.
Advices given here are wrong imo.  He would have a prefer a backing, really? Ahahaha.  And glass should have been used, hmmm...

Glass framing is fine but it is heavy, glass can brake and endommage the poster, glass catches humidity so spacers are needed to ensure glass don't touch the poster, and because spacers are needed, then some backing or tapes are necessary to hold the poster in place.    Acrylic sandwich frame is the way to go.

Hy Okie, Remember back in 2004 when Bruce offered a complete Dracula set and it sold for nearly $6K? It's about time it finally completed the catch-up to Frankenstein levels don't you think? With several individual original release Dracula cards recently topping six-figures each, the Realart set is by far the best way to get some great Dracula cards.

Crow, Yeah, that sure was a beautiful RR-1951 Dracula lc set back in 2004! There was a set last year at HA with some light restoration on a couple of cards that made $3,000. I missed seeing that set.  I'm even more glad now I bought the one sheet. I hope this doesn't increase the argument to split up complete sets, though it probably does. Merry Christmas to you all in the ATL, too!  I just got off riding my bike here on the Gulf Coast in shorts.  Okie

First day in the books. 

I missed out on so much stuff, either because I was busy doing something else (kids' soccer  eyeroll) or it went for too much.  But I did get those three, so I'll live.

Yes, Jezebel is linenbacked unfortunately, but I have been searching for a mint folded one long enough and now I'm done.  So mint linenbacked will do.

What about you guys?

I got this FOLDED copy of This Gun for Hire, one of my favorite film noirs with arguably one of the most iconic images of the entire genre. I'm very pleased with this acquisition because it's almost impossible to find an example that's not linenbacked.  It's been on my Holy Grail list for a very long time, and I've been very close to get a linenbacked example on a couple of occasions over the years, but I've held off hoping to come across a folded copy, so this feels pretty awesome.  I can't wait to frame this beauty.

I know, I feel the same way about the prevalence of linenbacked posters when it comes to desirable titles, it's a bit dispiriting.  TBH, I had given up on finding a folded copy of This Gun for Hire, as I had never encountered a single one before the one that HA offered, regardless of condition.  So this felt like a small miracle, lol!   

Obviously, I have relented on my distaste for linenbacked posters when it comes to larger paper for some rare titles (particularly for Italian and French formats, and for US 3-sheets and 6-sheets, as the support does help handling and displaying them), but so far I have yet to buy a single linenbacked (or paperbacked) one-sheet.

Agreed, but for someone like me who just shoves stuff in a flat file and is slowly approaching the 20,000 pieces mark, linenbacked posters are just impossible to store.  I can put a dozen linenbacked posters in a large tube or 300 Italian or French in a drawer.  It just doesn't work for me.

These purchases T are all huge posters, including 6 sheet, 3 sheet. Good to see the big stuff and nice posters too. I wouldn't mind the Psycho 3 sheet.

Cripes Antoine, very nice poster but way out of my budget. I hope you'll get to frame it soon.

Thanks Mark!  I like the quad too, glad you got it (for a song!) back in 2007.

This Gun for Hire  notworthy.gif

If there's one film noir poster I'd love to display in my home, it's this one! But way too expensive for me
I also love the large French poster of this title but I've never seen it on sale (the medium poster just arrived at this auction, same visual). The German poster isn't bad either.

I just saw that its price increased enormously during the auction, just like the posters of Gilda and The Attack of the 50ft Woman.


I followed a few posters of this sale without bidding. Because the shipping costs for France are really expensive + important customs taxes :
Godzilla *2, The Thing, Woman in Green, Don't Bother to Knock, The Time Machine. And to see final price for the 2 Japanese Hammer Dracula posters.

Psycho, with Rebecca are my favorite Hitchcock movies (the third would definitely be Vertigo). But I haven't seen a lot of his movies (for example, I just saw his movie Young and Innocent, last week)

I had a few I was watching but they all went higher than I was willing to pay. There were a few WTF moments though. Still not sure what to think about this one, Raiders 1sh went for $2160. Apparently one in March went for $2,760 as well.

Also, in the "what's wrong with people" category, I bought this guy at Emovie 2 weeks ago, folded and in "very good" condition, for $3,600, which I thought was a stretch, but I wanted it.  Two weeks later, a linenbacked version sells at HA for $7,800. 

That's a $4,200 linenbacking job.  WTF!!!

I was looking at Heritage’s schedule for this year, and I don’t see a summer signature auction on the calendar. They do have a “spring showcase” and a “silent film poster” auction coming up. Are things changing at HA?

I feel the same in terms of finding it harder to win things at a price I'm happy with - I thought perhaps I was just being cheap, so good to hear others think this too! Perhaps I'm bidding pre-inflation prices...

You know, it's funny, I took a gigantic hit on the stock market since the beginning of year, inflation, Ukraine and all, and I'm being much more cautious with my purchases, but I feel like I'm alone.  I see prices skyrocket on things that were a quarter of the price just 10 years earlier and I'm scratching my head.  I mean, people seem to have a lot of disposable income, which is good I guess, but it doesn't seem to follow the realities of the market and the world at large.

Thierry, I think the rise of collectibles (not only movie posters, but also comics and trading cards) these days is a direct result of the stock market tanking.  I see the exact same phenomenon with fine art auctions, where prices have exploded since the beginning of the pandemic.  A lot of people who used to invest their disposable income in stocks when the market was going strong have now turned to other forms of investment, from real estate to art and collectibles, because those currently offer better short-term returns.  It's not like there are a lot of different options when it comes to parking one's money.

I would agree with that, Antoine, but prices started going up a while back.  For sure more so now, but I'd say 5-6 years ago.  Probably at the beginning of Trump when people realized the world might be on its last leg haha.

Great sale yesterday at Bruce's. 

For someone like me who owns a few prints, it's fun to see what people are willing to spend on them.  Jaws, $6,500????  Wow, I spent $60 on mine.  Same with all the others, Moss Star Wars ($4,700), Durieux Rear Window ($3,300), and all the rest.  It makes me feel rich, even if I know it is only temporary and prices will eventually go down.

I was watching the auction, and I felt some of the results were lower than expected.
People found Durieux's Jaws and the premium items, but I think there were (relative) bargains to be had on some items.
I wasn't that motivated to buy to begin with, but I personally had trouble with the number of items (2500 prints) in the auction. I tried a few times to look at all the lots but couldn't get to the end. Maybe that is on me. Just seemed like a lot.

I agree that there were some good prices outside the top tier stuff. I bought a couple - would have bought more if the £/$ exchange rate wasn’t so painful.

Post by: eatbrie on October 28, 2022, 06:40:04 PM
Most of the stuff I own is in the top tier, so I must have good taste hahaha.  Or maybe I'm just a freak.  Yeah, I'm a freak!

I don't think I have ever spent more than $200 on a print.  I bought a few on Ebay over the years, but no more than 10.  So it was a stretch for me to bid at this auction.  But I did and I won Moss' Evil Dead, one of a dozen prints I'm still looking for (prob in my top 3).  It didn't sell for as much as it has in the past, so I'm happy with it.  The other prints I want, most of them in that top tier, I will sadly never own.

Stop picking on Bruce.
Seriously though, with over 2,000 items in any auction, some will go high, some will go low, some will sell for what you thought they should.
Law of big numbers.

Movie posters still seems to be the one collectible hobby that has been unaffected by the huge upswing in prices the past two years.
Maybe we will see some of that spillover soon.

Tried on so many things today.  Missed on pretty much all of them.  Cat People, nope (which is okay since it was linenbacked), Jedi 24sht, nope :(… and others.  Seriously, there is so much money out there.  My wife and I spent the weekend with our kids at a nice hotel overlooking the ocean (like $1,000+ a night kind of place) and we were amazed at how many 20 something couples there were.  At the restaurants, in the pools with young kids.   Like I said, lots of dough out there.

I guess they are spending it all on hotels and VHS tapes, 'cause it doesn't seem to be flowing into posters (which is fine of course, I picked up a an original 1954 B0 on Seven Samurai this weekend, for what seemed like a bargain, especially because of how cheap the yen is to the US dollar right now).

Hope you and the family had a nice getaway.  thumbsup.gif

Hi T,

I think it was me, you, and Antoine there at the end on the Cat People one sheet, though the final bid went to another regular bidder on Bruce's auctions. I do have the Argentinean one sheet for Cat People, which I like as well.  Glad to hear you are getting time to enjoy life and family.  I've been surprisingly and quite wonderfully busy in my illustration and comic art collecting pursuits this past year, though did get a couple of posters that I'll post.  Okie

Hey Okie, nice to hear from you, you kind of disappeared there for a while.

Yeah, I found myself bidding and not being completely happy because of the linen backing, which is why I dropped out quickly.  I really want this poster, but I want it folded.  You know how I feel about that awful linen backing.  I doubt I’ll ever own it folded, but one can dream.

Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: Antoine1973 on October 31, 2022, 08:18:21 PM
Yes Okie, I did bid on Cat People as well, didn't realize you were after it too!  Like Thierry, I would much prefer to get a folded example, but since I have yet to come across a copy that's not linen backed, I decided to put in a bid in case it sold for a reasonable price.  I'm not too worked up over not winning it as a result, the search is still on for a folded version. 

I only got a couple of minor things in Bruce's sale, as there were way too many items on linen.  Fortunately, I already own the vast majority of those posters that were of interest to me anyway, aside from the elusive Val Lewton titles (Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie).

Took the words right out of my mouth, I took an awful hit too, I keep looking at the world and nostalgia in general and it is booming. People are SPENDING. I go to lots of conventions and lately talking to vendors and friends;  People are spending. Maybe it’s the yolo impending doom lifestyle that makes some people spend and forgo the rainy day fund

I think that is the part that is so strange. Almost every other area of collectibles has seen crazy, huge growth in the last two years, especially in the "best of the best" categories, but original theatrical posters have been nearly flat.

Look at the top two items from Emovieposter's last auction. the top sale was a War of the Worlds Style B halfsheet, this is arguably the top sci-fi poster of the 50s (at least as far as US paper goes). It sold for $18,000. But the consignor, purchased it from Emovie more than a decade ago and paid over $20,000.
So the very best 50 sci-fi poster lost 10% in value over a decade in actual dollars, and even more when you consider inflation and other factors.

The second best selling item at Emovie was the Star Wars 24-sheet. This was purchased by the consignor five years ago for $15,500 from Emovie, and now he will have a $1,500 loss when every other area of Star Wars collecting (which is also arguably the strongest segment of the poster market) has seen huge returns. If you had put $15,000 in top Star Wars toys in 2017, you would easily have $50 - 100K worth today.

As a collector, I'm happy to fill in holes in my collection for the same price I thought I would have paid 5-10 years ago. If the Seven Samurai B0 I just purchased had seen the same kind of growth as other hobbies have, I probably would have passed - so it's not just US paper, but paper in general.
Still frustrating to see spectacular growth in nearly all collectible hobbies as posters continue to watch from the sidelines.

This bar code collecting makes absolutely zero sense to me.  It's like people who collect mock-ups (aka posters that studios ordered and discarded because they were bad).  Why would you want to collect posters before said posters are chosen or made and where does it end?

A friend of mine told me recently, I have some rolls of blank poster paper from the 70s, I'm going to put them on Ebay, tell them that it is the paper that was used to print the Star Wars posters and retire to the Bahamas.

He's got a point.

Very interesting analysis.  Any thoughts on why this might be the case, or what factors could be at play here?  Were posters simply over-valued in the early 2000s, and now we're seeing a correction?  Is it market saturation?  Do all of the big poster collectors already have most of their Holy Grails?  Or are those other areas of collecting experiencing an influx of new collectors faster than we are over here?  Really curious about what is going on here.

I'm sure there is some truth to that, but as in all things, it is not the entire story.  I have been collecting movie posters for 20 years now (I started in 2001), and believe I have put together a fairly nice collection (at least to me).  I did a little exercise right after HA's last signature auction.  I already owned 84 posters they were selling (I wasn't selling them but I owned them).  I don't mean to be rude by giving numbers out (Mel used to do it and I hated it), but I'm trying to be precise.  I added up the amount those 84 posters sold for ($216,034) and compared it to what I spent on them over the last 20 years ($53,634).  That's almost 4 times what I spent.  Even accounting for inflation, that is still a pretty good markup.

I did the same with the Mondo sale, and fair enough, came up with a total that was close to 10 times what I spent.  But I also bought those at drops and never from secondary markets.  So yes, prints went up way more than posters.  Way.  But to say that posters are flat, imo, is not true.

Personally, I would love nothing more than posters to stay flat or go down in value.  I don't collect to sell so it doesn't matter to me.  But I also know that I have set prices in my head based on yesterday's prices and the new prices are always much higher than what I expect.

Stefano, well sum up.  I think a bit of everything. We will have to be more specific about type of posters to get the answer (e.g. below 20usd poster to three-digits ones).
But yeah, definitely, other collecting have a large influx of collectors and higher interest. 

Mondo people will be hit with a big correction in some years, just like guys buying KAWS in chain.  Mondo and plastic KAWS are mass-made merchandising for the hipsters and alike, they don't see the interest in collecting old stuff that their dad used to talk about/watch :)   Saturation, may be, too many posters around, every week, same stuff...   As for me, I am fine with my eccentric, eclectic, counter-culture small collection.   I usually don't follow the trend and always missed the boat for some fast flipping, it takes dedication anyway to buy and flip.

Thanks for your perspectives, folks.  I find pricing trends interesting.  Over the years, I've seen the prices of some things go up, some go down, and some stay flat.  But I guess for something to constitute a "trend," we're talking huge sample size over many years - very broad averages.  I like to think T is correct on a general upward trend.  Specific genres might tell a different story, of course. 

But I totally understand the weird feeling of other movie-related collectables taking off around us, seemingly out of nowhere.  Really hate the prospect that "dad's old posters" might be missing out on some love, in favor of new, mass-produced collectables for the hipsters, as BwanaDik suggests.

First - I like the fact that you used an 84-piece sample size instead of a small one, definitely makes it more reliable. But of course even that doesn't tell us a complete picture. This was from a Signature auction, so it should represent more cream-of-the-crop items, and not a bunch of lower-valued items that will weight the return average down. Also, you've always been the king of "someone gave me 14 rolled Revenge of the Jedi one-sheets" type stories, so no idea how many of those type purchases are included in your sample. Plus we have no idea the time period that you spent the money (if you purchased all 84 pieces twenty years ago, you're looking at just over a 6% return a year, not exactly setting the world on fire. If you purchased them all last year and they have increased 4x in a year, kudos to you sir).

And of course in picking a Heritage auction (or any single data point), you might be including sales that would be difficult to replicate. Taking a quick look at their top 20 or so sales from the last auction, I don't think you have any of those pieces, but scanning down at ones you likely do I see a very strong price for Forbidden Planet ($15K, double the recent Bruce price), an incredible price for an ET Bike poster ($6600?!? - is that a new record? That's more than triple the price Bruce got for his in the record-setting Halloween auction), $9900 for a Thunderball six-sheet also seems much higher than normal, $2000 for Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc. I'm going to guess there are probably some on the low side also, but unsure what they would be.

In comparison to the Mondo price increases (10x your investment in a much shorter time frame), it just helps the argument that movie posters lag other collectibles markets (Mondo being more an art market than strictly movie posters, I know several people who buy Mondo items for their collection and as of yet, I haven't been able to convince them to start on "regular" posters - but maybe that is a good thing, less competition.

As to the "why", I have no idea why they seem to be lagging. Heritage certainly seems to be doing a great job in advertising and getting the world out, and people all over the world love movies. Maybe there weren't enough places to source originals years ago, and so it's out of the minds of people now? No "rookie cards", or continuing sets to get? Maybe that is one of the hooks Mondo has, they continue to make posters in the series so people stay interested. The continuing demand of Star Wars seems to be the one thing you can count on right now. I will say that the discovery of fakes in the horror market about a decade ago, rocked that market hard and prices fell for for a few years, and that was always viewed as the bluest of the blue-chips in the poster world. And while I love those posters, I always found it strange that they would command so much more than the Casablancas, Citizen Kanes, and the like. And while 30s-40s horror seems to have stabilized and maybe on the rise again, it looks like the 70s/80s classics are the really hot spot right now (which again comes back to Star Wars).

As to Vick who asked what collectibles have gone through the roof? I'll assume you've been under a rock and didn't see the $10 million dollar Mantle rookie sale, or the plethora of comic books that have shot through the $1 million mark. A Magic the Gathering card recently hit the $500K mark and some Pokemon cards regularly hit six-figures also. I won't mention video games or VHS tapes since we have other threads on those, but we certainly seem a long ways off from any 90s poster hitting the six-figure mark.

Still think that eventually, others will see the awesomeness that we do in vintage posters.

That's the strange part for me.  For collectors of art and cinema, movie posters seem like a no-brainer.  Maybe they don't think they can afford to get into movie poster collecting?  On the other hand, maybe they'd feel like they're slumming it with all of us "lowly" movie poster collectables, haha.

I hope so. There's just seriously something so irresistible about owning a piece of a beloved movie's marketing history, contemporaneous to when the film was originally released.  I can't understand how people don't think that's cool.  Well, I'll just hope they get the bug for it eventually.

Yeah, a very interesting discussion, a nice read with my morning cup of tea. A crude bit of analysis, but I've always thought the size of movie posters perhaps puts off budding collectors - for beginners, they can be quite tricky to handle and store (compared to collectible cards, for example, which can also be graded and entombed in plastic etc). Having said that, at the low end where I shop, it feels like there are a lot more collectors in the UK these days, the market for quads is pretty competitive compared to how it was 10 years ago.

I think you're right (although Mondo and Kaws have both gone beyond hipsters), but the collectors don't see the Mondo prints as mass made merchandising...the opposite in fact, like an artisan product - illustrated by an artist, screen printed by hand, limited in quantity - it has an allure for them which a mass produced movie poster used for advertising does not. I agree with Crow about it being more related to collectors who like art prints, than movie posters.

That's why I like Belgians.  They easily store flat in a dresser drawer, along with lobbies and stills.  Easier to frame, if I ever want to display them, too.  Honestly, there are so many different types and sizes of posters to choose from.  There should be something for all tastes.

Quads seem to be holding their value quite well, from what I've seen (also on the lower end).  I don't know if it's a supply issue (there are surely fewer quads than US 1-sheets in most cases).  I'm a fan of Hammer posters, and the quad prices for those have really soared in recent years.  I'm glad they're too big for my dresser drawer, as most of those are right out of my budget.

This bar code collecting makes absolutely zero sense to me.  It's like people who collect mock-ups (aka posters that studios ordered and discarded because they were bad).  Why would you want to collect posters before said posters are chosen or made and where does it end?

I was the winner of that Happy Brithday print. Star wars collecting might be unique in that there is so much emphasis on not only collecting what was released but also anything that was used towards making the final product. This unusual desire can probably be traced back to the infamous Rocket Firing Boba Fett action  figure that was pulled at the last minute due to safety concerns but many prototypes exists and is the most coveted star wars collectible toy. Not only are those toys in great demand but any paperwork or documentation on the testing and safety procedures that were performed on them  which led to its failing grade are also worth a lot of money.


What was this poster and does it reveal anything new we didn't know about the behind the scenes history of star wars?
This is the same size as the Concert Poster. Why did they print a happy birthday at that size? Was it just because they had the paper handy and the important part of the image would fit so who cares for a test print? Was this image originally intended to be a smaller size? Maybe to sell or hand out at theaters? Don't know.. but I hope I can research and find out- that's part of the fun

I definitely think he's exaggerating. There's no way this poster is getting offers that high. Yes, slasher posters are desirable these days and this one is uncommon but it's definitely NOT at that price range. The highest eMovieposter has sold it at is $600. I've seen them listed on eBay not long ago for around that similar range as well ($300-$600) and even then I always thought that was too high. I wouldn't personally pay more than $250 for it, which is why I don't own it yet. If anyone is really offering over a thousand dollars for it they are not knowledgeable about the value and ripping themselves off LOL. I own the video poster for it and while it is rare I have never seen it sell for more than about $150. The rare slasher posters I have seen jumped from about the $150 range to about the $300+ range but definitely not in the thousands.

I'd say about half if not more of my collection is made up of video store posters. There's definitely a charm to them that takes you back to simpler days when you had to go to a store to get the movies you wanted. I have a lot of happy memories of my local video store and if I had been a poster collector back then I would've loved to have talked to the owner about buying some off of them. Some of them are definitely pretty rare and never pop up - but their rarity doesn't always translate to higher value! Many of my rarest were very cheap despite NEVER being available! Some don't even have images of them available online as if they never existed. Of course there are a few that are more sought after and are priced accordingly - but Sleepaway Camp is on the lower end of that scale.

Pretty sure it's true - he posted screenshots of the offers.  I saw a similar thing at the old MoviePosterForum a while ago; a guy posted in the wanted section that he really wanted to find a lenticular video release for Brainscan (1994), and he'd pay $3,000 (if I recall correctly).  The only place I'd seen one was on a list by LAMP for a lot of films that had lenticular posters.  It's one of my favorite movies and since seeing the lenticular on LAMP, I had also been interested in finding one but didn't want to make a wanted thread  :P  A couple years later a random person saw the MPF thread and said he had one he'd like to sell.  I checked the thread every once in a while and the OP seemed to have disappeared so I made an offer to the seller (<$3k   ;) ).  He replied and I negotiated a little and it seemed like he was ready to sell and a deal was made.

Btw I was just searching for another Brainscan lenticular and found this 2011 sale with some added info. from the photographer:

Neo: Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Slasher/horror posters and video posters (in general) are such an oddity. One minute they can be selling for $300+ and the next you'd be lucky if you can fetch $100 for it. I've seen it (even currently) with posters I own or am interested in. (Although I find it hilarious seeing one film's posters listed at $600-$1200 as "rare" when recent sales have sold it for less than $100 LOL. It's one I own so it doesn't affect me.) I remember paying no more than $50 for my (rolled!) Nightmare On Elm Street 1984 video poster for example. Maybe if I listed it now (I wouldn't though since I buy what I love and to keep) it would be a hot seller in an auction. Maybe not. I'm curious where this Sleepaway Camp one sheet will go from here. I'm satisfied with my rolled video poster but who knows...maybe someday I will regret not having spent $200 on the one sheet when I had the chance.

Okie: Standees are another interesting thing to check out! I own a few myself and love them! Often times they can be rarer than the poster and more expensive - while some are rare but still affordable! Wow I could only imagine what it would have been like to have been in your shoes back then - I would've taken it all!

If you subtract the fake sales at Sotheby's, you got more for every single poster than they did.
Everyone knows where to go if they don't want to be treated like a chump being sold a $1 solid gold watch.

Lol.  Exactly.

To be sure, it's a great poster and I'd never seen it before your action, Bruce, but holy fuck that is a lot for it!  But, I guess that's the point. No one has seen it before so rare=expensive.  It just shocked me how people really are willing to open the vault for worthy posters.

I can't believe that it took this long for Heritage to realize that their previous format was shit and to go back to the original.  It's a little bitter sweet because I was able to buy stuff for nothing before and it's now nearly impossible.  I'm also super happy that I started collecting when I did because I could not afford anything if I was getting into the hobby today.

It's shocking how the supply (especially on ebay) has dried up. Remember in the MPF days when we could sit down with our coffee and randomly decide to snag one of the 7 rolled Gremlins posters sitting there for $20 give or take? Its nuts...cannot imagine starting this hobby now, beyond expensive and super hard to source anything unless you have endless cash supply.

I used to buy 600/700 posters a year.  Now I'm down to 300 probably, mostly because of price.  New posters that used to cost $15-20 are now offered for twice the amount, if not more.  A new poster for $40-50, it really affects what I buy and how many I buy.  Ever since Covid.  Not really sure why.

During Covid, ALL the hobbies really started to thrive as new folks jumped on board in varying interests/groups/niches...it was a way to pass the time, to learn how to do something new, to collect something, etc...

Sports cards prob had the biggest surge...stores went from throwing stuff out to not being able to have anything in stock. All collectible markets are pretty crazy right now, and in some cases, much like posters....are not letting up.

The poster market is beyond dry at this point.

Yet the same Back to the Future, the same Revenge of the Jedi, the same Goonies, the same The Thing keep popping up on a weekly basis and selling for more, and more, and more, with no end in sight.  I mean, there must be 10,000 Back to the Future posters out there, I own a bunch myself, why do they keep selling for $600 or more?  It's totally absurd.  Even folded copies, or copies with tears, sell!!!  Like you said, I'm so glad I built my collection when I did, because nothing makes sense.

I remember along time ago with sports cards. You can go the store and get a pack of cards for 2 bucks. Now packs, a single pack. Can sell $20-$400 for 1 pack…

I would bring up inflation, but I haven't seen this up-pricing trend in 1960s material as much as 1980s.  So it's probably something to do with the decade.  Those who grew up in the 1980s would be, what, in their 30s and 40s now?  And presumably with more disposable income at this stage in their career.  Well, nostalgia sells, and now they have some money to spend.

I've observed a bump in prices for the stuff I collect too.

One factor I've noticed - with social media, the amount of re-sellers seems to have increased. Lots of new 'dealers' who buy posters from auction sites and relist for inflated prices. Presumably targeting folk who want a poster for the wall as oppose to collectors, but they seem to hoover up lots of posters for their stock (with social media, I suppose you have to keep posting in order to maintain engagement).

That's very true.  People die, what used to be cool and collectable yesterday is not anymore, taste evolve, the old stuff is of no interest to new generations who know absolutely nothing of it and why should they.  The 80s is now the cool decade, the decade where everything seemed cool and fun.  Long before the dark times we've all experienced.

Same here, price have doubled if not tripled since I join the movie poster world, even posters from my cheap niche.
Sure, post-Covid but as Tob says, more and more players online, buying and reselling... they actually do thing with almost everything, from sneakers to toy cars.
I call them "MBA Daddy's boys", they buy mostly 80s posters (because Dad loves them) and also 90s and even more recent ones.  Then they put it in online shop, ebay, Etsy, Instagram, etc.
And yes, even shops do the same which I fail to understand as their retail prices are way above market prices, but nothing they can do, they have to outbid and play the game too. 
Not an easy for shops, it is difficult for them to keep their retail prices fair due to high bids.   At the end, things will get back to normal.

The 80s have been hot for a little while now but are white hot at this point...this is because the folks who grew up in that era (like me) now has dispensable income to buy their nostalgia fix, but since there are tons like them/us...the market is drying up.  Also, we need to remember, not everyone would say they are a 'poster collector'...some people just want to spend money on that BTFF poster for their den or that Goonies poster for their kids bedroom and that's about it...regardless...its all crazy now.

Don't see these Kill Bill 2 B1's often, especially a complete set.  They're not in perfect condition and a lot of folks probably don't check Yahoo Japan but the winning bid was about $600.

Wow, Tob.  I've never had that issue with proxy bidding there but I've seen on some sellers' listings they won't deal with people who have less than a certain number of feedback, etc.  Hopefully you can find the ones you're looking for again.

T, yeah it's difficult in some ways bidding there.  If you use Google Chrome it automatically translates everything.  I think they have some valid reasons for not making it more accessible to buyers outside of Japan.  With the (almost) global marketplace nowadays, it's still possible to buy stuff there and not too difficult IMO.  I started a thread a while ago about a few of my experiences with Yahoo Japan.  Maybe sometime I'll add a few issues I've had buying from there since then, but overall it's been OK.  http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9639.0.html (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9639.0.html)

This Kill Bill B1 ended a few days ago at Yahoo Japan for about $600, which seems like a good deal.  It has some edge wear and maybe slight staining but looks good.  It's one of the best modern posters IMO, especially with the unique(?) style paper.

It's funny, I'm vacationing throughout Europe for a month with my family and I just realized how impossible it is to bid on anything from there.  I mean, HA and Emovie are at 2am!!!  I like posters, but I like my sleep way more.  I had a lot of posters I wanted to bid on from Bruce on Tuesday and realized it is impossible.  It really sucks from here.

That's a crazy good deal, imo,  Like super cheap.  If only i knew how to bid on Japanese stuff.  I'd be all over it.

It's funny, I'm vacationing throughout Europe for a month with my family and I just realized how impossible it is to bid on anything from there.  I mean, HA and Emovie are at 2am!!!  I like posters, but I like my sleep way more.  I had a lot of posters I wanted to bid on from Bruce on Tuesday and realized it is impossible.  It really sucks from here.

Yeah it's the least expensive I've seen and I'm not sure the condition is bad at all - I couldn't even see the "staining" on it, just a little edge wear.

Unless it's something that "a long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale" I'd also just enjoy the euro trip.  cool1

Yep! I normally just put my high bid in and go to bed, but have stayed up late on occasion.

It's mainly a pain because of the bidding strategy when you have a modest budget and want to bid on multiple posters (i.e. If I win/lose poster A at price x, it means I have more/less money to bid on poster B at price z).

But yeah, I understand that the US market is the biggest and so it makes sense that they have priority.

Yes, certainly, you have to plan ahead.  I hate hate hate not being able to use a sniping program.  That’s all I do on EBay.  Sometimes I watch people bid and overbid each others days before the end of an auction knowing very well that I’ll be the one getting it in the end.  So all they do is raise the price me.  But it doesn’t work at Emovie if you want to go to bed by midnight.  I’m not one to wake up in the middle of the night for a poster, so I didn’t bid on anything these last few days.  Oh well, there are always posters and more posters.  I’m sure there will be another back to the future hahaha

This is me. I've won several things with Bruce this year, but haven't looked at closing at any of the auctions, just put in my bid and I'm done.
Like T says - there are always more posters, and unless it's a Black Cat half sheet, there will be another one eventually.

This is so ridiculous to me.  $900 for a poster that pops up EVERY SINGLE week.  Between the advance (4x), the studio (2x) and the NSS (3x), I own 9 of those.  Many other collectors do.  It is so common.  It makes no sense.

Great film, great poster (the tagline and title logo are brilliant and I think it’s Struzan’s best art).

I imagine most collectors that want to build an 80s collection would have it high up the list and there seem to be more and more 80s collectors

So I understand the high prices, but also agree about it seemingly being quite common

Good points.  The artwork is classic, and it's been used on so many formats.  Searching online is overwhelming to see how many different formats are available.  I never realized how popular the movie and artwork are. 

After looking around online, I'm not as surprised at the eMovie prices after seeing how many of the various less popular formats and lower condition examples sell, and the prices they sell for elsewhere.

Your comment prompted me to check my website and see how many posters I had with the Struzan design (I'm on vacation, nothing better to do hahaha).  I'm missing a bunch, but that's a start.

In order... US Advance, US NSS, US Studio, US Subway, US Video, US Video Cloth, US AMC Re-Release, US Soundrack, US DVD, Australian, French 1 panel, French Pantalon, French Billboard, German 3 Sheet, Indian, Italian, 3x Japanese B1s, 2x Japanese B2s, Thai, Turkish, UK Advance quad, UK quad, UK review quad, UK Re-Release OS, UK Re-Release Quad, Yugoslavian.

I don't think it's much of a challenge to be honest.  These posters are everywhere and should not cost a quarter of what they sell for. 

The only rare one I own is the Thai.  It took me 10 years, money and a lot of arm twisting to get.

I completely agree. Auction schedules are horrible for someone who lives in France like me. That's why I unfortunately no longer bid on eMovie because it's clearly in the middle of the night.
Slightly more luck on the HA signature auctions (and the last Propstore US) which start earlier, and I can watch three quarters, until midnight local time.

It's really a shame, but that's the way it is.

I remember when it sold at Christies, there were a few places online where you could look through the pages, but they seem to have gone unfortunately, although there is a nice video on YouTube. It'd be great if it one day made it into a big Taschen style art book for general sale.

but weirdly sigauctions now take place on sunday only (which is great!)

now that emp now has so many auctions ending midweek means it is difficult for euro people for a number of reasons - later auction finish being main one

Post by: Heather_Mason_SH3 on July 12, 2023, 09:43:25 PM
Just my own personal thoughts on the conversations here:

-Back To The Future: It's ridiculous. The poster itself is extremely common and shows up in every auction ever. Many, many copies available on eBay and other sites. There's zero reason for it to be that expensive. Now it seems every other seller is hopping on that bandwagon and trying to sell it for $1k+...it's a shame because I'll likely never have a chance to own one now. I'll just have to stick to my video posters for 2 and 2. Great films, love them, but I'm not going to go broke paying that much for common posters.

-eMoviePoster: The Sunday auctions I am personally not a fan of when they end. I work Sundays and my schedule used to allow me to be off on time to bid then. Now I'm working later so I can't check on the auctions while I'm at work and they are ending. In the last set I had my eye on a few nice bulk lots that I really wanted. Put my highest bid thinking I'd be safe...only to lose on most of them by the next minimum bid. If they had ended at 7PM like the Tuesday/Thursday auctions I'd be safe and would have been able to continue bidding as long as I felt comfortable. I WILL give them credit for that though. I LOVE the extensions that prevent sniping and go on as long as the bidders want. I've always been annoyed by snipes on eBay when I would have gone higher if I had the opportunity.

Of course, everyone's thoughts on these discussions are totally video even if they conflict with anything I might say. It's interesting reading everyone's thoughts on the matter.  :)

I'm really curious to know what percentage of people actually win an auction without being present?
I don't think this happens very often? Except maybe put a bid so extravagant that no one wants to outbid?

To this, will be added the shipping costs, so it's difficult to play this on items under $500 I think.

And then, to this is added the excitement of following an auction  ;)

I guess you cannot please everyone around the globe.  It's so easy when you're in the US.  I usually check Bruce's auction the day before the actual auction but did it a week prior this time around because I didn't know what kind of internet connection I was going to get in Spain and in France, I had my little list ready and then completely gave up when I realized the auction started at 2am (versus 5pm in California).  He would have had to have an amazing poster for me to get up.  So I feel your pain.

I am always by my computer/phone as an auction closes and as a UK resident have long been accustomed to waking myself up at 2.00 or 3.00 am to bid and/or curse the extended bidding. I have no complaints as of course Bruce has to give priority to his largest (US) customer base. Sunday is more relaxed but I don't like bulk lots!

These 2 Apocalypse Now Japanese B0s sold for about $1,800 each.  Seems like these don't appear often, especially the one with Mr. Brando.
 Not perfect condition but pretty good - a little foxing, a small tear, and a little handling and edge wear on each of them.

The helicopter version used to appear more often but the last few years not many have appeared at the usual places.  At emovie, the last 2 sold in 2022 and 2019 and the next most recent one sold in 2012.  Between 2000ish and 2012 there were 17 sales there.  The version with Mr. Brando has only sold once at emovie, in 2013; maybe that was Matt's.  They're both probably stunning in person.

I mentioned the helicopter version in another thread a while ago, when a framed one was in a home in the film The Canyons.  A cool movie imo.

I think these 2 recent sales' price point may be about the least they'll go for in the foreseeable future.  There was a really damaged one that was the Mr. Brando version at eBay several years ago that sold for $750.  There have also been a couple very damaged ones of the helicopter version that have sold higher than that.  Considering how famous the movie, director, actors, etc. are, and how beauteous the artwork is, I think they're two of the best of relatively modern times.

I forgot to bid on this one, that sold for $178, not that it would have made a difference in the final price.  faint2.gif  However, it's the only B1 I've seen, very cool design, and movie, and probably very few of these out there.

Why wouldn't there be many of them out there? It's a brand new poster

Were the first 40th anniversary screenings for this in Japan a few months ago? The first several screenings in the USA for the 4k restoration/40th anniversary go back as far as February in the USA.  2023 is the 40th anniversary and it's almost 2/3 into 2023 and I have not seen a single other one.  For a limited release like this, it's probably only showing in select theaters, compared to huge release movies like Star Wars.  Even with Star Wars, there are relatively few Japanese B1s.

After some quick research, it looks like this poster was created for the release at a chain of theaters, 17 total (maybe not all of them screening it), for the June 16th release.  How many B1s would be printed for such a limited release?  What percentage of those would potentially end up in the market?

There were so many great posters in the Tuesday auction for eMoviePoster but I failed to get any of them.
But...why am I bidding hundreds of dollars on a poster for a movie I've never seen? faint2.gif
Perhaps it's best I lost. Doh.gif
I don't know if the six sheets I wanted will ever be available again, but next time they will be mine!
I'll have to see how the Thursday auctions and Sunday auctions go. Less desirable stuff but still stuff I want anyway.

Definitely some interesting results tonight.  In the quick flip gone wrong category, we have this Werewolf of London card which someone purchased in April of this year from Heritage for $2,160:

And the less than desired result from Emovie of $1,900:

But at the other end of the spectrum. You have this insane Dracula's Daughter result of $5,250 for a card that isn't remotely as rare as the auction hyperbole states. Wowzers

This should be in the mid-auctions thread; who knows what price it'll realize in a few hours?  girly2.gif

Considering it's condition, etc. that Bruce mentioned, it'll probably be one of the highest if not the highest known result.  There are at least a few in collections so another may appear for sale, especially with folks possibly wanting to cash in after seeing this sale, but possibly in lesser condition and a lower price, at some point.

A few recent sales of this Taylor Swift double-sided one sheet.  I think it's a nice portrait of Ms. Swift.  A guy on a Facebook forum mentioned that they used a photo of her with a "sex doll mouth."   mesmrized  That says more about him than the photo, IMO.  The post appears to be deleted.

With the recent Eras concert tour - possibly the highest-grossing tour of all time, the highest pre-sale movie ticket sales from AMC - $26 million in the first 24 hours, the movie expected to gross over $100 million its first weekend, etc. this one will probably be in high demand.  There's one on eBay with a current bid of $50.

If ba589589 who picked up the weird sexploitation posters last night and feels guilty and wants to get rid of them, please PM me.  I totally missed the auction.

Bruce FYI, these are almost certainly Canadian. A couple of hints, 28 x 42 is standard Canadian size and the GUNILLA mentions "Après ski" (with accent on the e) which is a Quebec comedy flick from 1971.   Also, who else would have come up with the the tag line "Cold winter days-- hot winter nights"?  ;D

From the description:

Note that this is one of ten very unusual sexploitation one-sheets we are currently auctioning in 10 separate auctions. What makes them unusual? All are from between 1966 and 1972, with most being from right around 1968. All were either directed or produced by one Nick Millard (sometimes under a pseudonym). The 10 posters were found together, and were all unfolded, so it seems quite likely the person who distributed these movies also had his own supply of the one-sheets, no doubt so that he could given them to theaters that booked the movies (these movies were not distributed through the NSS or poster exchanges). We have auctioned exactly one each of six of them one time before and four of them we have never auctioned before, so they are certainly extremely rare! Finally, note that nine of these are black and white, and all ten of them are printed on a somewhat "newer" paper that at first glance looks like it could be from later than the 1960s or 1970s, but we are certain these are from the original dates the movies were released, and that whoever printed these posters used whatever paper they could get, which was different from many one-sheets of this time. This is a rare opportunity to purchase one or many of these extremely rare sexploitation posters!

I didn't even see this part of your post. You really read what you want to don't you? The wowzers was to an incredibly high result that Emovie got that is multiples of what the same piece has sold for at any other venue. No one else has come close to that result (last Heritage result was less than half the emovie price, and a few years prior Heritage sold one for 10% of this result).

I'm just hoping these crazy bidders don't find out about his upcoming Halloween auction (in three parts, starting October 3rd), so that I'll still be able to afford things in it.

So "wowsers" was for that part and not your usual "flip gone wrong" for an auction at eMovie that had recently "sold" for more at another auction house.  Great.  Thanks for the clarification.  thumbsup.gif

One other note about the Let It Be set that someone else mentioned. That was originally my set and I sold it through Movie Poster Exchange to help Peter out when he was beginning (you can see one of the cards here https://www.movieposterexchange.com/buy.php?mode=poster_details&auction_id=3484 (https://www.movieposterexchange.com/buy.php?mode=poster_details&auction_id=3484)). I think the total he got for them was just under $700 - not Heritage high prices, but not bad for a new auction site.
The buyer turned around and tried to flip them with Bruce, and took a bath. You can see the result for the first four cards here (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/14897134.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/14897134.html)).
I think it is interesting the Bruce gave them graded of "Very Good to Fine", implying his grading system is much tighter than CGC, when of course just the opposite is true.

Here's another pro-Bruce post prediction: EMovie's Halloween auction results will smoke the genre results from Heritage today.
Whether you measure it same item for same item, or just similars, Emovie will fare significantly better when you compare the results this time next month.

Is it me, or did HA seem to have a weak auction today? Prices seemed to be on the lower end for almost everything, besides a few items.

It’s a Wonderful Life one sheet went for $28,000 in April this year… went for $9,900 today.
Metropolis lobby cards didn’t even sell. No bids.
My Man Godfrey went for over $80k last year. $24k today.

Tons of lower end stuff as well sold for far below the estimate.

When you have a bunch of frankenposters, high reserves, and high buyer's premiums these can be the results.
Compare the My Man Godfrey posters and the difference between the one this year and last is night and day. The Metropolis cards were mainly recreations from the partial pieces that were sold on ebay a few years back, and the Wonderful Life was very faded.
I think the overall restored feel of the auction carried over to the few pieces that weren't, it almost felt like I was looking at a Hollywood Poster Auction catalog when I looked at close-ups or read descriptions. Pretty much every time I was tempted to bid, reading the description of the items put a quick stop to it.

They make a lot of errors in their listings (I had to send them 3 emails about 3 lots so were just so obviously wrong), their estimates are completely random and based on nothing that I can see, and then there is this gargantuan profit they make.  What is it, 35% between seller and buyer?  All of this put together probably reduces the amount of goodwill potential buyers may have towards their sales.

I do find it amusing how many people are concerned for Heritage's poor consignors and what they are actually receiving. Of course, of major auction houses Heritage actually has one of the lower rates (certainly lower than Sotheby's or Christie's), but we are used to hearing that poster consignors should have lower commissions.

I think reserves are the biggest turn offs to potential bidding, and Bruce has wisely publicly avoided using them.
But if you have nice items, the bidders will come. This auction featured far too many painted items disguised as actual posters for people to have much interest.
It does seem a lot of the newer (and unrestored) items did well or at least okay.

Honestly, I'm the last person in the world to worry about what consignors receive.  I don't sell, remember?  But if I did sell, I would never sell at HA because charging $29 on a $1 item is beyond ridiculous.  Plus I'm sure they get something out of that $1.  So the seller gets $.75 and HA gets $29.25?  Insanity.  It should be gradual.

Post by: crowzilla on October 01, 2023, 09:41:27 PM
Yes, and just like Bruce, they are actively discouraging people from sending them $1 items - and if you have $1 items, you shouldn't be trying to consign to them in the first place. Charging a ridiculous premium at the lower level is one way to discourage such things.

We know from Bruce that he loses money on any item that he sells for less than $20, Heritage has most likely decided that level for them is $30 and so they make sure they don't lose money on anything that actually sells (can't say I blame them). Looking at today's signature auction, somehow they still did 1.5 million, on over 800 sold lots, so the $29 minimum just really doesn't enter into anything at that point.

Like you, I'm not looking to monetize my collection. But if I did, it would be silly to to exclude Heritage because they charge a minimum that wouldn't even apply to a majority of what I would be selling. Most likely a combination of Bruce and another venue like Heritage (maybe even Propstore for high end now?) would garner your best results. Each does some things better than the other.

This auction ended at $515. 

I wonder what effect the season has on some sales - the spooky, Halloween season for this genre, of course.

I really like the colors and style of this UK video poster for Friday the 13th.  The bids have been going up rapidly and still almost 5 days left in the auction.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/256231223290 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/256231223290)

Here's an interesting comparison (NEO don't read this one, as it is a positive about Emovie).

Heritage sold a copy of This Gun For Hire for $10,200 in their just completed sale
(https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/movie-posters/film-noir/this-gun-for-hire-paramount-1942-fine-on-linen-one-sheet-27-x-41-/a/7329-86093.s?)

While Bruce sold a very similar looking/described copy in their August sale for $9,760
(https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/10738906.html)

Now usually you would expect me to pronounce winner Heritage at this point, but since we are all concerned about what the consignor received because of Heritage's evil buyers premium, that is where we get to see the real bottom line.

At $9,760 Bruce takes an angelic 16% of the sales price resulting in a net of $8,194.60 for the seller, while over at satan's workshop Heritage, they will keep 15% of the hammer price of $8500 resulting in a net of $7,225

So kudos to Bruce for giving their consignor over $950 more than Heritage for the sale of this iconic poster.

I read it.  Shout-out to you for giving commendations where they're deserved, even with the extra little remarks thrown in there. 

Regarding your other post bout how every auction has its pros and cons, I agree.  If I really wanted to try to achieve the highest possible result, I may also look into auctioning something where a reserve - hidden or stated, potential post-auction "sale" deal, etc. could be set.  Different styles and all are good to drive competition.

There were two sellers with bid retractions mid way through. It went back down, then went back up.

Yeah I saw the first retraction after I posted in the mid-auctions thread, when it dropped $100 or so.  What do you think about the final sale price?  I think it's a solid deal, all things considered.  These don't seem to appear too often.  Also, an appropriate year for the sale, as one of the two Friday the 13ths this year is in October.  cool1

yeah, but for a certain group, this is the image they grew up with - going to the video store and seeing the poster there. It hits just the right nostalgia buttons and is rare enough to keep climbing.

We are definitely seeing a trend of focus towards the 80s/90s and newer pieces and movement away from the 50s/60s or older pieces. The low results of This Gun For Hire are just one sample point in that trend. Look at the price now for a Pulp Fiction Lucky Strikes. Last copy sold for over $7500 and we've talked here extensively about Sleepaway Camp, which I'm guessing is one of the key pieces for 80s slasher folks.

Like T said, the others have better image, I guess the rarity on this one sold it.
I’m just a bit bitter since I sold the Friday the 13th quad last month and now regret it.

Point taken.  I didn't grow up in the US, so it means nothing to me, but you're right.

$7,500 for a Pulp Fiction???  I missed that one.  Way back in time, they used to call me the Poster Price Police.  I took it as a badge of honor coming from some folks who were blatantly selling stuff for 10x what they were worth and misleading newbies (I think I called it rape, which hindsight was obviously wrong).  But this is the market talking, and I guess their BS has caught up.  Crazy.

And yeah, the 80s are one fire.  I own quite a few pieces from the era and I'm so glad I got them before it blew up.  I couldn't/wouldn't do it today.

Yeah I think the rarity is a key factor.  The UK artwork is also really outstanding IMO.  Most, if not all, of the other artworks for the series are a little too much gore for me, with the bloody knives, etc., but I can see how folks would remember seeing those video cover styles growing up and all.

Selling stuff is difficult sometimes.  A few things I wish I hadn't sold, but then I realize I could probably acquire another someday, although  given the current trends, any time in the relatively near future probably at a higher price.

A fun one for the Halloween season.  Video poster for The Fog (1985).  I don't know if it's extremely rare but it seems to be much less common than other formats.  This one appears to be in excellent condition, and I thought the price may have gone higher, but it was a pretty good deal IMO:

It's in fact a terrible movie, but its amateurish ineptitude is highly enjoyable and is precisely what has caused it to develop a cult following over the years.  That, and the fact that it has Bela Lugosi in his final role, alongside Thor Johnson and Maila Nurmi, directed by Ed Wood, himself often described as the worst director in the history of film.  It's pretty much the archetype of a "so bad it's good" type of movie.

I see what you mean.  Interesting with Mr. Lugosi's last film, etc.  That one sheet is probably on the higher end of demand for the "so bad it's good" films, especially being the blue style.  Nice win.

A few years ago, I think some folks would've been saying OMG, WTF, etc.  However, nowadays this seems to be an increasing trend with various video posters.  I won one of these several years ago (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,5445.msg116875.html#msg116875) for a small fraction of this, because I like the artwork, one of few in my humble collection I haven't seen the movie.  These recent sales are rolled, so it's not a perfect comparison.

Yes for sure.  Trends are changing and will keep changing as we all get older.  What 80s posters sell for nowadays is totally bonkers to me, but certainly part of a trend.  I can see middle of the road 40s-60s posters completely disappearing for lack of interest in movies people have never seen and will never see.  The great movies, the ones with recognizable starts, will retain some value of course, but the rest will be forgotten.

80s home video obviously represents a moment in time people are nostalgic about.  It totally makes sense, but it is no less baffling.

It's not all about big name titles and stars IMO.  Look at some of the beauteous artworks of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, etc.  Many of them have carved out a niche commanding high prices with their artwork, while the movies they represent are not as highly regarded as popular movies of the time. You're probably right though that it's part of a nostalgic time for the folks who collect them.  As time goes on, it seems more folks are drawn to the latter parts of the 20th century and early 2000s.  Many of these folks were not even born until the 1990s and 2000+, so it's different for them than the traditional idea of nostalgia.  With that in mind I think this trend may continue for a while.

I confess I was one of those to buy one of those rolled Mutant Hunt video posters. I didn’t pay 100 bucks, the seller made me an offer which I happily accepted. Before buying, I did look up Emovieposter’s archive to get a sense of pricing and the examples Bruce has sold were a lot less, although as Neo notes, those were folded.
There are a handful of video posters on my want list, of which Mutant Hunt was one, and finding them rolled is near impossible so I was happy to bite the bullet on it.
But I agree with the general sentiment that 80s gear in particular is going bananas. It’s not just BTTF or Goonies either. I have missed out on rolled one-sheets for Chopping Mall and Silent Night Deadly Night at Emovie because as much as I love the artwork, I don’t have bottomless sacks of cash to throw at them. (And don’t even talk to me about Sleepaway Camp, already mentioned around these parts.)
But if anyone on here wants to offload rolled video posters for Death Spa or Headless Eyes, hit me up!
And it’s worth saying, these titles appeal to me largely because of the artwork rather than because of a reverence for the films they are promoting. Chopping Mall happens to be a fun B-movie in my view. I have never even seen Death Spa but the poster is amazing to me (link below for the curious). I am in my early 50s so I guess I share in that nostalgia for the VHS era that is fuelling all this 80s boom. And I totally understand why some collectors think the current trend is a nonsense.

Maybe seller loyalty has something to do with these sales that are several times what they generally sell for.  If someone (or at least 2 people in this case since it was an auction) had to buy from this specific seller, maybe they were willing to go all in on it, maybe thinking it could be years before another appeared for sale by that seller.

Agree, it's nice to see them getting some love. Keep sharing please. The 'too gory for the silver screen' logo on the Mutant Hunt is something I hadn't noticed before, was it commonly used on video posters from this era?

A few weeks ago, this Japanese B0 for Coppola's Dracula film sold for ¥564,000 (~$3800). Eiko Ishioka won the Oscar for her costume designs for the film and she is credited along with Haruo Takino for the design of the poster.

(https://i.imgur.com/rxkk9wS.jpg)

It's a pretty scarce poster, it's quite hard to find a decent image of it on the internet (the commonly found image on the web seems to be a composite with a wonky join). You can see it displayed at this Eiko Ishioka exhibition from a couple of years ago, along with another Dracula B0 poster and the famous 2 x Apocalypse Now B0 posters by Ishioka and Takino (I found that photo from this site's review of the exhibition - https://www.cinepre.biz/archives/28130)

A few weeks ago, this Japanese B0 for Coppola's Dracula film sold for ¥564,000 (~$3800). Eiko Ishioka won the Oscar for her costume designs for the film and she is credited along with Haruo Takino for the design of the poster.

It's a pretty scarce poster, it's quite hard to find a decent image of it on the internet (the commonly found image on the web seems to be a composite with a wonky join). You can see it displayed at this Eiko Ishioka exhibition from a couple of years ago, along with another Dracula B0 poster and the famous 2 x Apocalypse Now B0 posters by Ishioka and Takino (I found that photo from this site's review of the exhibition - https://www.cinepre.biz/archives/28130)

I had never seen this poster before (which isn't that surprising since I don't collect Japanese paper), but it's really quite striking.  I love it.

The 'too gory for the silver screen' logo on the Mutant Hunt is something I hadn't noticed before, was it commonly used on video posters from this era?

I think that logo was a marketing gimmick used by Wizard Video/Lightning Video, the companies behind Mutant Hunt. I have seen it on the same distributors’ video release posters for Dreamaniac and Psychos In Love, for example. I presume this was a neat way to reduce any perceived stigma around being straight to video movies!

Wow impressive piece and price.  Stunning exhibit of Mr. Ishioka's works.

 

Kinda surprising to see another of the not often seen Mr. Brando style of the Apocalypse Now B0 sold a few days ago for about $1,100.  It has some condition issues, but it seems like most of them do.

Even more surprising is another copy is currently for sale, and appears to have some relatively minor condition issues - foxing, wrinkles, etc. - currently at about $33 starting bid: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d1112195042 (https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d1112195042)

I just checked HA's results from last night and saw this head-scratching result.  Head-scratching because of the price realized (???) but mostly the fact that this poster is visibly undersized for the London tube and that HA did not mention it.  How could they miss that?  I mean, it's like inches at the top and at least an inch at left and right.  Oh, and I cannot see the printer's info at the bottom.

I put a picture of my copy for reference.

HA has been dropping the ball a lot lately when it comes to their movie poster division.  Not sure what happened but their descriptions are off the chart riddled with mistakes.  I really make sure to do my due diligence when buying from them now.

You'd think they'd notice how cropped it is.  I don't mean the artwork being cropped, but the physical size.  Everyone makes mistakes.  That's a big mistake though, and who knows if they will contact the customer and offer to resolve it; all they ever post here is advertising, and it seems like they're difficult to contact.

To be fair, though, when you buy something $7k, you should do a little bit of research and compare.  It is obvious that the poster is not 30x40in.  So HA really screwed up, but so did the buyer.

The seller has to take full responsibility.  Some legit posters are not the exact measurements that is standard for that particular format. 

If a buyer wants to purchase an expensive diamond and goes to a well established place such as Tiffany's, the buyer shouldn't be responsible, or even feel the need, to validate what Tiffany's is saying the diamond is.  If a buyer wants to double check something is what a huge company like this claims it is, that's the buyer going above and beyond, and really should not be expected IMO.

Wow.  It's a classic image and original artwork is cool and all but that has to be one of the most expensive original art for movie posters ever sold.  Maybe some hardcore Bond folks had a bidding war.  It would be understandable, since it's from the first Bond movie, and I wonder what other factors combined for such a sale price.

It is up there, it might make the top ten, but most likely is just outside it (it's for the fourth Bond film, and tough to say if Michael Hook's original would for Dr No wold surpass this price as McGinnis is a much more collected and desirable artist).

The poster art market has exploded similar to the comic art and art market in general the past few years.
For example, Heritage sold the Berkey painting for the Towering Inferno earlier this year for $350,000 (https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv-memorabilia/original-art/original-john-berkey-final-poster-artwork-for-the-towering-inferno-tcf-1974-/a/7351-89737.s?), last month the concept art for 2001 by McCall sold for $106K - the finished painting would sell for at least triple that amount (https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv-memorabilia/original-art/robert-mccall-signature-final-concept-artwork-for-2001-a-space-odyssey-mgm-1968-/a/7278-89402.s?), and last spring the Corben original for Heavy Metal sold for $288,000 (https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/paintings/richard-corben-heavy-metal-den-movie-poster-painting-original-art-columbia-1981-/a/7270-91014.s?).
The Alvin ET painting was one of the first to bring headlines when it sold six years ago for $394K (https://fineart.ha.com/itm/paintings/john-alvin-american-1948-2008-et-the-extra-terrestrial-original-promotional-movie-illustration-/a/5269-71001.s?) and a decade ago the original for Song of Bernadette sold for $605K - but it is a Rockwell, so that might have been low even for the time (https://fineart.ha.com/itm/paintings/norman-rockwell-american-1894-1978-the-song-of-bernadette-1944-oil-on-canvas-53-x-28-in-s/a/5145-78138.s?).

Many of the likely suspects that would top those are already held by Lucas or Spielberg (Struzan, and Amsel abound on those lists though the Kastel original for Jaws has been missing for decades). For foreign art, Miyazaki and Hergé top any list you could put together.
I've heard of some private sales for astonishing numbers, but when it's private who knows for sure so the HA references above are good markers.

Yeah, remember Lucas wanted to open a museum dedicated to American "comic" art.... not sure if the museum is opened.... but he is the one who also bought the Crumb "Genesis"... and don't forget that the original "Fritz" also hit a record.   So I would add Crumb to the list for sure.

As for HA, I am not sure he can be used to assess marketprice... I heard/read so many things about HA that I think their auctions are biased (overwriters, candle bidding, self-bidding, etc.); they have cousin companies doing grading, so I am pretty sure they must have also insurance and overwriting companies to ensure that lot are sold and above estimation.    Last, I think that some crypto/reddit guys are also tempering the market, some crypto "fan" groups are dedicated solely to this (we saw for "Dune").

The museum is currently under construction (with an eye on opening in 2025), and has been very active in acquiring pieces for its collection. (For posters collectors, one of the prominent purchases was the complete "Separate Cinema" archives of John Kisch https://news.artnet.com/art-world/lucas-museum-acquires-separate-cinema-archive-1753629.)
Robert Crumb's Fritz the Cat original that sold for $700K, was the cover of the comic book. Although the poster image is an excellent copy, it isn't by Crumb (most likely Bakshi).

Sales are sales - whether to Lucas, or crypto fan groups, and are documented. The fact that current management seems to shoddily neglect the poster division and can't be bothered to correct many obvious listing mistakes doesn't change their results, which are in line with other auction houses and private sales.

Correct - fourth Bond film.  Doh.gif  That is a good summary of some of the top sales results.  The original art world seems to be another entity in HA as you mentioned, and arguably the poster world altogether.

Some interesting points, and although the extreme high-end auction/sales are "documented" as mentioned above, all the specifics are not available to the public.  There is a lot of speculation and there are valid claims out there about this stuff, though, which of course is another topic.

Yeah it's great artwork and a classic 80s style.

There were a couple posters for Pumpkinhead 2 (1994) that sold recently - one from USA and one from UK - that really show in comparison how great the artwork for part 1 is.  I was going to post them in the thread "best artwork by country" or something like that but I couldn't find it.  Anyway, here are these 2, the first from USA and second from UK:

As for the poster itself, nice image of Ms. Thorne (minus the symbols and stuff) but the movie genre is too zany for me.

6 out of 7 of the highest selling lots at eMovie today were Mexican lobby cards.  :o  Looks like popular titles, with quite a lot of Universal horror, although it's difficult to see exactly what all sold with the lack of titles in the description.  Seems like it would be best for big titles, names, etc. like that to have them listed in the description, so potential bidders could search for them in the current auctions, and so there would be easily searchable post-sales history.

The title art artwork on this one looked really zany, and I was surprised to see the price jump so quickly to over $300 in the first day of a 10 day auction:

I think it's a pretty solid deal, considering its genre popularity, rarity, condition, etc.  I'm slightly biased with my appreciation for video posters but it seems like they're all gaining a lot more attention lately.  For so long, a lot of folks just said they're worthless and trashed them, and maybe that's why with the increased demand there seems to be significantly fewer of them than their theater counterparts, and of course a very limited number for titles that were straight to video.  It'll be interesting to see which ones from extremely rare to not known to exist, will appear in the future.

Thoughts on Propstore?  I thought the last guy was absolutely too fast with the hammer.  There were 3 items that I had to think about between bids and by the time I made up my mind it was over.  Like 2 seconds and done.  At the beginning, waaaaaaay to slow.  Like they were waiting sometimes 10 seconds before the hammer fell.  Also, seems like a lot of items were way under estimations.  I don't know if they were too high or if they didn't reach enough bidders.

Thierry, did you get any luck there today?

I had a different experience with the auctioneer as I felt that he was going rather slow to try to gin up more interest in the room; that's probably because my lot came fairly early in the sale (I didn't see the rest after I won it since there was only 1 item I was interested, so I missed whoever came after who apparently was on a faster track).  I won the 1946 French re-release of Bride of Frankenstein, which I've always found stunning, so I'm happy about that.

My point actually.  Extremely slow at first, too slow, and then way too fast later on.  Like someone realized they had spent way too much time early on and told the auctioneer to speed it up.  I mean, the last guy was flying through.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who missed on items for that very reason.

And beautiful, Antoine.  Great great poster.

I got a Jaws 1/2 sheet.  Not a fan of the format, but now that I am putting the last touches on my Spielberg collection (almost 2,000 posters) I need to get all these pieces that I've been avoiding all these years.  I also got a Shadow of a Doubt style D linenbacked poster.  Yes, linenbacked.  I have the style C folded and I have been waiting and waiting for the style D.  It is my favorite Hitchcock movie, and the Master's fav too.  The last one that sold was 10 years ago, also linenbacked, so I had no choice.  Also, the one sheet size is quite easy to store in a drawer, even linenbacked.  This is a perfect example of my "I had no choice" moment.

So much went under value I feel. Philadelphia Story one sheet usually sells for 10k plus, and even fetched 30k at HA a few years back. Went for under 5k today!

I bought the Mr. Smith Goes to Washington insert. Love that movie and the poster doesn’t come around often.

Some auctioneers are very annoying .  I had a similar issue with the too fast hammer in an antique auction a few months ago.  Slow slow slow at the start of a few lots I was bidding on then they got a few bids and before I could even enter a number they ended them.  Maybe their friends or business associates were bidding and they wanted them to win  ???  Considering the prices antiques sell for in auctions compared to the extremely inflated prices they sell for in stores, it wouldn't surprise me.  Anyway, nice acquisitions, y'all.

A few of those signatures are so bad.  I'm no "expert" on signatures, but some are just squiggly lines with no attempt to even make it look like a written name.  I've seen people sign stuff like that so I'm not saying they're all fake, but who really knows?  Something like that right in the middle of the artwork or just not well placed really detracts from the piece, whereas clearly legible signatures that seems more likely to be legit, can add to it, IMO.

That’s the thing.  Signature experts… that’s some BS right there.  So many big names of the past had their assistants learn their signatures and use it at will.  And now people buy those signatures for a lot of money with zero guarantee it is legit.  I just don’t get it.

There really is a stark contrast between fancy signatures and so much of the squiggly line junk all over eBay, etc.  For some of those fancy signatures, I think one could make a good case that it's authentic, especially stuff like documents, but just some random squiggly line with an unvalidated COA is pointless IMO.

We've had this conversation multiple times in the past.  I personally see ALL signatures as fake.  Signatures are meant for the person they are signed for and I really do not comprehend what kind of enjoyment people get from scribbled lines they will 1) never know for sure are authentic and 2) were not meant for them.  But at the end of the day, I collect movie posters and 99% of sane individuals roll their eyes at it.  So who knows hahaha

Fortunately, I know for sure 95% of my autographed posters are not fake because I obtain the signatures directly from the person concerned. This afternoon Sofia Coppolla signed Virgin Suicides for me and Richard Curtis signed Love Actually - incorporating a Christmas tree in his autograph! I enjoy the brief interraction I have with such individuals and because I'm fussy about how and where I ask them to sign the poster they seem to recognise me as a genuine collector rather than a dubious dealer. I don't really understand either why people pay money for autographs they didn't obtain themselves, particularly if they are blindly trusting the verification provided by commercial companies.

Well said, Mark.

If signatures are your gem, what you described is, to me of course, the ONLY way to get them.  In person.  Even if you and I were close friends and you decided to part with your signed posters, I wouldn't touch them because they were not signed to me.  I think I own 2 signed posters.  An Almost Famous poster signed by the entire cast that was the official Premiere poster and that I got while working at DreamWotks, and a Mad Max poster signed to me by George Miller (a very close friend to my of my best friends).

It's understandable, considering the number of fakes, the bold marker pens that are much more easily faked nowadays, half-hearted signings, etc.  The signatures that I think are arguably the most historic are on stuff like documents, and have a "signature style"  :P like those on the Declaration of Independence.  As you said, though, to each their own.

Very cool, ML.  Sounds like you've met some famous folks and acquired some cool signatures.  I have a few autographs I acquired that way when I was a teenager.  It's just not my thing anymore.  I saw a video recently where a guy at an airport asked the lead of Third Eye Blind to sign stuff - he had a stack of records- and the Third Eye Blind guy quizzed him on names of their songs and stuff, then agreed to sign one with a personalized note to him.  It was an interesting interaction.

Thierry, I think all collectors who really prefer folded over linenbacked paper like us end up having to make a similar decision when it comes to rare, older titles.  There are some old movies for which folded posters are simply impossible to find, so linen is the only option if one really wants to own a copy (hence my decision to acquire the French Bride of Frankenstein at Propstore despite it being on linen).  I feel like I had to reluctantly (yet increasingly) cross that Rubicon over and over in recent years, as I seek elusive titles that never seem to appear on the market unless linenbacked, all the while hoping that somewhere down the line I might come across a folded example to replace them with.  At this point, I'm resigned to this situation, it is what it is.  Congrats on that style D for Shadow of a Doubt, beautiful poster for a great film!

I agree.  The hardest thing for me is that I am extremely particular.  I like my books in mint condition, not a tear or dent, regardless of age.  King is obviously a modern writer, but his 70s books tend to have little things here and there, and I don't want that.  So I must wait, and wait...  I'm very patient hahaha

They also sold a set from Son of Frankenstein for $150 - very strange when they are asking $100 for a set from Savage Mutiny (last time Bruce sold a set was for $18 for comparison).
But looking at the images, the crispness of the print/image is very off from originals, the fine details are very dark and don't pop like they should.

I'm guessing the buyer(s) will be making use of the ebay money back guarantee.

These don't appear very often, and I haven't diligently followed the prices, but 2 years ago, I saw one of these at a fairly well known place go for $5,000 and I was a little surprised.  Another one not long after sold for $7,000.  I chatted briefly with a Star Wars expert and he said these are not extremely rare, and he remembers when there was a time that a few sold for about $500.  Very impressive upwards trend in the Star Wars market.

I think the word “rare” is being used to casually these days.  “Rare” to me is less than 10 copies of something.  “Extra rare” is one or two copies.  I don’t know how many copies there are of this ESB, but less than 50 seems correct.  And how many SW fans?  This explains the interest imo.  So not rare per se, but hard to get is more like it.

I bought mine for $1,600 a few years ago, and that seemed really high to me then.  It still does, but then most posters do.

That's a good point - I wonder what the Star Wars expert I was talking to meant when he said it's not "extremely rare" - maybe he meant he's fairly sure there are more than 10 copies known to exist.  I think "unicorn" would be the most rare - not knowing whether a copy even exists.  Anywhere else on the "rare" scale is up for debate IMO. 

I was just reading the text with the eMovie auction about the history with 2 experts, and it seems like they agree that very few exist.  Bruce made a good point that it's unknown how many sales were the same copy, so it's difficult to know exactly how many there actually are.

Yeah, that's a good comparison; back in the 80s and 90s I remember it as one of the most popular among my friends, and many fans of the genre, and the first NOES has the best artwork of the series IMO.  Personally I was more into other titles, but still really like NOES, especially a few of the later ones in the series.  The original of a series is usually the favorite among most folks, though.

Friday the 13th was my ultimate favorite back then, then Halloween, then Freddy.  I was very young when I discovered Texas Chainsaw on VHS and that became my fav.  How fucked up is that hahaha?  Still, countless nights with friends and girlfriends watching the Friday movies.  Freddy was too weird, too "realistic" I guess.  Friday was in the woods somewhere in the US.  Not in Paris by the Seine.  Freddy was in your dreams.  He could be anywhere, even in France.

Seems like these keep climbing in price, the theater and video style here:

To be fair, that one took a VERY long time to sell. I had that exact one in my cart for...a year and a half? I very nearly bought it once but decided against it. I can't say whether or not it would have sold for as much if it had been an auction instead but the fact that it took as long as it did to sell probably means it wouldn't have.
But I do agree with what is being said in these posts. The UK artwork is GORGEOUS and just as good as the US artwork. This film is definitely iconic (along with the artwork) and very much the "Frankenstein" for this generation.
I myself am after a quad but haven't seen one at a price I am willing to pay just yet. I envy everyone that got them when they were much cheaper.
With that said, it does seem the original UK poster is the most valuable one of the "Nightmare" films. I've only ever seen the others for $200 or much less in my search. I own US posters for the first five films, although the only theatrical one is the for the second film. (It's my personal favorite.)

This rolled Detour insert sold for $1,325.00 on Ebay... nowhere in the listing mentions it being original or reprint or whatever the case may be. Am I mistaken, that this is an 1980s reproduction and not an original insert from the 40s??

It is listed under originals, and the description says original - but yes, impossible to tell from the single poor photo posted.
Probably another soon to be user of the ebay money back guarantee.

I will also note that the seller of the Frankenstein lobby set Starling pointed out also sold a Son of Frankenstein "original" set for $150 and just yesterday had a Ghost of Frankenstein set sell for almost $3,000.

Lots of buyer bewares out there

These don't appear very often, and I haven't diligently followed the prices, but 2 years ago, I saw one of these at a fairly well known place go for $5,000 and I was a little surprised.  Another one not long after sold for $7,000.  I chatted briefly with a Star Wars expert and he said these are not extremely rare, and he remembers when there was a time that a few sold for about $500.  Very impressive upwards trend in the Star Wars market.

It is not known how many of these are floating around and more keep appearing!  I don't trust them.  would be interesting too look at one under a loupe...

Star Wars rare is even more subjective than other poster genres.  Most star wars collectors collect things like toys where there are millions made.  Even the rarest production toy has hundreds of known examples.  Even the coveted Rocket Firing Boba fett which sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars and is considered a grail among toy collectors has over 70 known examples across the different variants.  But when there are so many toy collectors out there, demand far outstrips supply.

I'm a huge star wars collector and had to move to pre-production items to make it fun to hunt.

Maybe there are quite a few in collections.  Seems like they don't appear for sale very often.  If WorthPoint wasn't so expensive, I'd have a subscription there; it would be helpful to see how many have sold at eBay, as most folks with video store stuff seem to not know about, or don't consign their stuff at places like eMoviePoster, etc.

That is an interesting perspective.  Are you suggesting these may have been made fairly recently, with newer processes and/or different folks printing them, than the known original posters from when The Empire Strikes Back was released?  I think it's safe to say the well known Star Wars experts would have seen that.

When P said "more keep appearing" I thought he may be implying that there are possibly more still being printed.  Also, with the above example, and everything else original, buying from a place like eMoviePoster is peace of mind for folks who aren't such seasoned collectors.

Pretty good result for a great poster (and movie) IMO.  The artwork is more of a fun/silly horror style, but they kinda spooked me when I was a kid haha.

This bidding history is a little interesting - only 2 bidders.  Just goes to show how much higher a price can go when there's more than 1 person, or house bidder :P who is bidding.  (For the record I'm not saying I think there was a house bidder here.)

I don’t think more keep appearing.  It looks like a roll of 50, maybe 100, was found in Japan and sold little by little.  Most of them are in the end of collectors and will not be sold.  Like mine.  Another portion is making the rounds, being sold and resold…. Impossible to track.  I have owned 2.  I gave one away years ago and kept the other.  One had aging spots which I have seen on 80s material before.  Everything was spot on, paper, smell, ink, aging…. No doubt they were printed a long time ago, prob for an aborted international distribution campaign. Why they ended up in Japan, who knows.  That’s irrelevant imo.

Yeah, some skepticism is good, but in this case, most of the leading experts (you included) seem to agree.

With such high sales results, it seems like if there were very many they would appear more often, as the price is certainly trending upwards rapidly.  There's no way to know the exact number, unless there was only one source who could confirm that they received the only ones printed.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on January 09, 2024, 07:36:55 PM
I want to say 50 or less.  Round number.  But then again, I know that Saul Bass had 300 copies of his Schindler's List printed (for his own use after Universal refused the art), and very few ever pop up at auction.  Keep in mind a lot of posters are destroyed, even with small numbers.  Some go to execs who couldn't care less about them and toss them, others get lost, damaged in transit, etc.  So it's just impossible to number.  But 50 to 100 seems legit to me.  It's a nothing number considering the millions of Star Wars fans around the world.

If you ever have a chance to look at it with a loupe T, I would love to hear what you see.  When these first appeared in what... 2009 ? there were only 2 or 3 and they have been slowly dripped out and it seems like more and more keep appearing coming out of Asia.  I guess it's possible that someone in Japan has a roll of 50+ and has been dripping them out over 15 years but that still doesn't explain where they came from between 1980 and 2009.  It seems strange to me that the rejected art version made it all the way to the 1 sheet size all completed and no one knew about it for 30 years.  And why Japan?  why not some random print facility worker's attic in America where most of the other preproduction posters have been discovered? why 1 sheet size?  Japan doesn't have 1 sheets and these aren't B1s...

The hairy bootlegs also look different under a loupe compared to the theatrical posters and they have been around since the 80s too.

Believe what you will, it's all fine.  My experience tells me that it's the real deal, and it's enough for me personally.  Everybody is entitled to his/her opinion.  Unfortunately, I have never been in the business of examining posters with a loupe, I only follow my instincts, so there is nothing I can prove one way or another.  I spent $1,500 on mine, I am not an expert in posters, I don't even know what that means, but I've been collecting for some time and I know enough to be happy with this poster.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific, it's not my thing.

sorry I forget not everyone here knows I collect star wars almost exclusively.  It was the poster concept mock up on board with the rejected (because it's terrible) tag line "An age old story in a strange new place".  At least I think this is mounted to a board with pasted on elements?  The description doesn't say but the image looks it, and  at a previous auction I won a different one that was on a board with pasted on elements that looks nearly identical but with another tag line. I'm not sure how many of these still exist, but Charley Lippincott's widow consigned his paper samples of these rejected posters to propstore a while a go and there were 17 different ones.  But I doubt the original mockups that were photographed all still exist.  I spoke to another knowledgeable collector who remembers at least some of these mockups sold as a lot once upon a time and it was fewer 10.

The fun about this little hobby is that we are all different and we all collect different things.  I don’t know if you’ve ever seen my website, but I ONLY collect theatrical posters, but from around the world.  I don’t collect the color bar posters, because they are not theatrical posters to me.  They are attempts at getting it right.  Same with mockups.  I worked at studios here in Hollywood for many years and I saw tons of mockups.  They all ended in the trash, because they were refused for not being what the studios wanted.  These are my limitations and I stick to them because it’s already hard to collect what I collect.

By definition, an expert is someone who exists at some top percentile of experience and knowledge related to a subject.  Those people exist in every field, though do not ask me to tell you who they are in this instance.  Truth always exists next to opinion.  One of the hallmarks of an expert is that their opinion is often truth or a near overlay thereof.  Or, because of the aforementioned experience and knowledge, their opinion forms truth.  Similarly, a hallmark of assholes (since you brought them up) is that they cannot except anyone else's opinion might actually be truth or closer to truth than their own.  Truth exists, but there are always assholes who think they smell an opinion because they are blinded by their own stink.

No, but when they form that opinion based on ONLY their experience and knowledge while willfully ignoring or dismissing others' experience and knowledge that is of significantly greater breadth and depth..........that is worthy of a derogatory label.  And to be clear, I didn't enter down the line of discussion with anyone here in mind.  I did disagree with the statement that "there are no experts" though, and decided to press a little farther with the age old "....are like assholes" analogy  since it was contained in the same statement.  T, I apologize if it seemed that way, because I certainly didn't mean it that way at all.

There are definitely several areas where I would consider you THE expert.  Most notably among them is any Spielberg paper.  I know you may not consider there to be ANY experts.  But, someone knows more than anyone else, and is then the de facto expert.  If not you, then who?

The only recent sales at Yahoo Japan for My Neighbor Totoro B1s were about $830 and $930.  The recent B2 sales have been significantly lower.  It's a popular title, studio, and artwork, but it seems like the price has gone up lately for the B1.  Maybe one of the reasons the B1s have increased in value, is due to the Studio Ghibli Museum selling reproduction B2s that could be difficult for a lot of folks to authenticate, as discussed in the link below.

At eMovie the price has gone up significantly, also.  Before 2020, a couple sold around $400 and one about $800, but the rest average about $200.  Since 2020, only 3 of this style have sold - $850, $1150, and $1900.

Strange.  I wonder what the sudden appeal is.  5 years ago, the lesser version (what Emovie calls the JR version) had never sold for more than $200.  And today it sold for $1,400.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

Ha, it could be just a common sale point for a while, like all the Back to the Future, Revenge of the Jedi, etc.

It was the 2nd highest selling tonight, and as you said, the less popular version.  Maybe a lot of new folks in recent years looking for B1s.  After thinking about it I also think it's a combination of country of origin, popular artwork, and a favorite title for many folks.

I think this title has been on fire for a while now.
Almost two years ago Heritage got just over $5K for the "flute" style B2, and I think the other styles are all trying to catch up to it now.
It's hitting that sweet spot in nostalgia age for a lot of people.

It's always interesting to see how quickly something heats up and try to figure out the reasoning behind it.  I'm not an anime guy, so this one is beyond my reach.  All I know is that I bought the other B1 for Totoro for $29.99 on Ebay in 2009.  Even if you're not selling, it's a good thing to see your stuff go up in value, since you don't have to buy it anymore.  It does suck for the things you could have bought for nothing and passed on.  I don't have too many titles like this, but a few that I will never own.

Some of the newly released B1s seem to go pretty darn high there.  Maybe folks have FOMO (fear of missing out), as sometimes few if any more B1s will appear in the market.  For new Godzilla, one would think it's a big release with a lot printed, so that result seems at the high end, but who knows how many B1s there are compared to the number of Godzilla fans; you probably know more than most the number of Godzilla fans.

Impressive. I like the poster designs for the film.

I'm annoyed I missed seeing the film at the cinema, it had a pretty small release in the UK. I will put the effort in to go see the b&w version if it gets a release here.

It's a 50s re-release poster and in terrible condition.  I own the only known copy of the original 1950 release, not mint unfortunately, but folded, and you can obviously see the differences.)  Along with the obvious color differences, mine reads "Roger Soubie" at top right, while the re-release reads "D'Apres Roger Soubie").

Who dared selling this thing?

Yeah, but they're different.  Different title composition, single sided, cropped, credits super close to margin, no release date... just don't feel right to me.  I'd love to know if anyone spends $800 on that.  $20, maybe, but $800 hahaha.  Although Dave has proven us wrong before,  I remember the debate over Pretty Woman.  I think they sell for a little bit of money now.

Hmm the image looks uncropped, except the tree in the lower right.  Of course one sheets sometimes require a little cropping to fit the vertical format.  The credits aren't crazy close to the edge; there's still enough space so they wouldn't be covered by a frame.  It looks ok to me.  Maybe Bruce or someone else can confirm.

It's all a matter of opinion, kinda like the ESB intl., which I believe is real and some don't.  Cinemasterpieces mentions the Elf could be Lebanese but doesn't believe it is.  Again matter of opinion.  It doesn't look right to me, but if it does to you, by all means, buy one and let us know.

Pretty darn good results at PropStore.  All these lots sold for between the high end of the fairly high IMO estimates, to several times the high end of the estimates.  It would have been more interesting to see what they would've sold for individually, and maybe these results will compel them to have individual listings next time.  Hopefully we'll start seeing more stuff like this at the fancy auction houses.

I like to see video posters getting appreciation, I’m very fond and nostalgic for many of them from the late 80s.

They’re spoiled with the ease of access to content these days!

Post by: eatbrie on February 08, 2024, 04:41:30 PM
I ended up not bidding on anything.  I had my eyes on that Marler Haley's Empire Strikes Back set, but I already own 3 posters out of the set and didn't want to pay $8k for the two remaining posters.  I did that with the Star Wars set.

Because I do not believe in signatures, do not buy linen and am very strict when it comes to condition, 80% of the sale was not for me, which makes it easy :))

I also think that their estimates were a little crazy.  To not be willing to sell the Star Wars Marler Haley for less than $8k is nuts to me.  I think it went up to $6k (which would have been a little more than $7k with fees) and did not sell (???)  I don't know who did the estimates, if Grey was involved, but there were a few jaw droppers for sure.

Yeah it's good to be ambitious but as you said, when the reserve is so high, that's a little ridiculous.  Btw not to say anyone in particular did this, but often when no one has bid high enough to meet the reserve, the auctioneer says they have bids - bids that are actually non-existent, hoping someone will bid against the non-existent bid to meet the reserve.

I wasn’t aware of this repugnant practice.  Is that why so many bids stopped right under the reserve?  Is this legal?

That’s called “bidding off the wall” in the UK. It’s of no consequence really so long as the auctioneer never bids over the reserve.

Post by: eatbrie on February 08, 2024, 08:41:28 PM
I disagree, Mark.  They obviously do it for a reason.  To show there is interest and prompt people to bid.  If anyone is on the fence about something and see that no one is bidding, they might not either.  If they see "people" bidding, they might think that they are onto something and bid more.  It's psychological, and therefore I don't think it's of no consequence.  I think it's wrong.

ML's term is much more polite than what most folks call it: shill bidding.  There are various strategies. 

Some auction houses will have shill bids to keep compelling an actual bidder to reach the reserve the consignor set.  If they're getting close but stop bidding, the auction house employees might call the consignor to see if they want to sell at the lower price, and sometimes offer to reduce the commission the auction house takes. 

The auction house might also make the consignor responsible for the shill bids, thus the bids are the consignor's, and if they win, they'll have an agreement that they only have to pay a reduced buyer's premium of the "sale."  Then the item might appear in the "make an offer" option to folks after the "sale."
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: BwanaDik on February 09, 2024, 02:43:09 AM
"bidding of the wall" is totally legal in many countries and common.  It is usually specified in the terms of agreement.  All auction houses are practicing bidding of the wall, so indeed setting the reserve right is the most important.    "shill bidding" is a common practice also; it is similar to "bidding of the wall"...

I think the only difference is that "bidding of the wall" is more or less regulated or official (done by professional companies with clear terms, no hiding) while "shill bidding" underlines someone is hiding or using fake profile, etc. to inflate price. 

Note that shill bidding is also very common; many collectors/shops will bid on items they own, only to ensure that price remains high and their stock get a higher value.  Shill bidding is annoying for sure, even more annoying when allied it with stock control.

For expense stuff/fine art, auction houses partner with underwriters/fine art insurances.  They are the one setting the reserve price (they need to do it for insurance purpose; we are talking big money here, 1M+) and they are doing the bidding of the wall to meet the set reserve. They are OK taking all liability; some underwriters will even go further, guaranteeing a sale (meaning if not sold, they will buy it at reserve). For sure, sellers appreciate this.    In fine art, the insurances/underwriter are the one running the market and basically setting assets value - They will do the valuation, set the reserve price, guarantee a sale, buy the stuff if no sale, and redo an evaluation of client stock with inflated price;  this is great for companies to inflate their art assets without paying tax (let not forget, purchase of art for companies usually fall under special VAT regime (not taxed basically; only gain tax applies) and lastly fine art price are usually set in USD (just like the petrol or gold - Bretton Woods system). Well, art is perfect to clean dirty money and do other stuff...

The auctioneer's ultimate job is to create an exciting and enjoyable environment in which he can obtain the highest prices for his clients. There is often an initial reluctance by prospective bidders to open the bidding in a room auction and "bidding off the wall" up to the reserve is a way of warming up the potential bidders. There is nothing worse than the boredom of waiting for someone to bid for a lot - multiple times. A good auctioneer will use his gravitas, specialist knowledge, charm, humour and yes, psychological tactics,  to achieve his objective.

Shill bidding is illegal.

The golden rule as everyone knows is to decide your maximum bid before the auction and not exeed it.

Mark

Post by: Neo on February 09, 2024, 01:25:09 PM
Technically it's two different things but in reality they're the same: driving the price to the reserve - stated reserve or hidden reserve.

A lot of venues have specific terms for essentially allowing shill bidding.  When someone registers to bid, they agree to the terms of that venue.  The legality is another issue that requires specific details for each case.

The auctioneers are often interesting and the atmosphere is fun.  A lot of folks don't know about the tactics the venues use to achieve the highest results for the consignors and themselves.  A lot of folks who know about all the tactics often play along with the game.

I just checked Bruce's upcoming print auction and WOW, I am totally amazed at what some people are willing to spend on pieces of paper that were made in the last decade.  I buy prints from time to time when they drop but I don't follow the market and it's always a shock.  The sale hasn't even happened yet so there is room for prices to go much higher.

Bonkers.

The print genre is thriving.  When there are limited editions that are in the hundreds - the highest bids currently at eMovie are editions of around 400-500, it shows how many people are looking for them.  Kinda like Star Wars with collectors in the hundreds of thousands to millions, some stuff that isn't extremely rare sells for tens to a couple hundred thousand bucks.  I was looking at the prices from low to high in this eMovie auction, and some of my favorites are the less popular ones.
Title: Re: Post-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....
Post by: eatbrie on February 17, 2024, 09:09:18 PM
I just checked it all. 

I like the way Emovie arranged them.  Since I don't really collect anything smaller than 24x36in, they made it easy.  Also, a print should be flawless.  I like my posters in very good condition, but prints are above that.

I came up with 15 prints I might be interested in.  So many I already own (I guess about half of the 24x36in ones), so it will be interesting to see how high some of them go.  Like I said, I don't follow the market, so this will be a good gauge.  Also, I just can't spend $1k + on something that dropped at $65.  It's just not right.  I own the Moss C3PO, but for some reasons, I missed out on the others.  Never thought they would be so expensive.  So these are prints I will never own unfortunately.  So be it.

I had a few things on my watch list, but they went for beyond what I wanted to pay.

It was a fun auction to watch - it's nice to see them all lined up and presented so well and interesting to see which prints folk are willing to spend the big bucks on. I think the print market is quite soft at the moment, so the results look pretty good to me. The Paul Mann James Bond prints are lovely, I wasn't surprised to see them go high.

I wasn't aware that the print market was soft.  So are these results below normal?  They seem quite high to me.  Like you mentioned the Bonds.  I own them all and didn't spend more than $100 on any of them less than 5 years ago.  Bruce, were you expecting more or are you happy with the results?  And I got 2, but very small things.  Like I said, because I usually get what I want at drops, it's very difficult for me to spend 2x on a print, let alone x20 (like the Bonds).

From what I see in online collector groups, the 'mid range' prints seem to be selling for a bit less over the last year or so - perhaps some oversupply for certain titles, collectors streamlining their collections, increased cost of commissions mean less money for secondary market, high cost of shipping, cost of living priorities etc. So yes, I agree with you that results from last night look pretty healthy. I'd be happy if I was a consignor!

There were some prints at eMovie from an artist with a similar style name: Rucking Fotten.

Interesting, I was thinking I would not be happy if that was my collection that just sold. The first 2 pages realized good returns, next few pages were average, after about page 5 it was brutal.  A good percentage of these were sold at a loss to the consignor.

Looks like at least the first 20 pages, probably up to about page 25 (out of 30) everything sold for more than what they originally sold for.  Of course fixed price sales can net more $, but who knows how long those will take, plus the labor of selling each individually, of course.  What other print auctions this size with the same or similar material have been better?  I haven't done a lot of research on the topic, but all in all it seems like it was pretty darn good results.

Set to 80 per page, starting top of page 6 the high price is 136.00. You cant get in a commission for under 125 with shipping right now. Galleries will still run around 75.00 shipped, but page 6-8 MIGHT be break even, everything after are money losers for the consignor. Yes they get some of it back on the high end, but I would not want to look at the per piece breakdown of that payment in the mail.

Post by: Neo on February 20, 2024, 01:20:58 PM
OK, with the commission, those are money losers for consignors who bought them at the drop price.  Don't all places have fees for sellers?  Even eBay has higher fees at that price.  It seems like a fairly high percentage of this stuff has gained a lot of popularity and is selling many times higher than initially, and a lot still has some folks interested months to years after the drops, at around and often above their original drop prices.

I told the consignors to only send "better" quality ones. THOSE are the ones that do well at auction.

Lesser ones rarely do well, and why should they? Plus, there were a fair amount in lesser condition, and with prints, which all started out perfect, that really hurts the selling price.

But the nice ones did quite well overall!

I've said it before, I really have no idea what these things are worth (and I still don't, to be honest).  I collect them for the same reason I collect posters, because I love movies and some of them have good designs.  Out of 1,000 I own, probably 300 were mistakes (prints I didn't see prior to purchasing them).  The rest I consider fairly good, good or excellent.  Most of the prints I own were in the first 3 pages (of 80), so to me it seemed very high, considering those prints initially sold for something between $60-150.  The lower half of the sale were bad prints, bad designs, smaller size and not in pristine condition, so it does make total sense to me.

Also, at some point, there might just be too many.  I am still waiting for 60 prints that I have paid for and not yet received.  Half of those, I don't even know what they look like.  That's ridiculous.  I need to do better.

When Marklawd sold his collection at eMovie, I think the market was at about its hottest point, and the sale got an additional boost with the top Mondo guys linking to eMovie on their social media.  Of course that kind of promotion can't be done for every sale and it seems like that was about the peak and best possible result of this stuff.

It's still a hot market though, IMO.  Some of the most popular works have soared at the upper end of the market; many are from the early to mid 2010s and are still very popular.  The less popular stuff may never gain that kind of traction but who knows?  A lot of the stuff that is not at the extreme high end still sells for a few times the drop prices.  Personally, most of my favorites are not from the most popular, but they're popular enough that they sell high enough above the drop prices that I'm too cheap to pay that much haha.  Thankfully I acquired a few of my favorites way back before the spike in the market.

Yet, too many (and they don't stop producing) and we have reached the hottest point, agree.  Buyers are realising this so they are selling now which doesn't help.   I was collecting fine art before (prints, lithos, etc.) and got tired of the fine art market (that's a decade ago); so, I looked for something new to collect and for sure my choice was mondo or movie posters.  I chose movie posters for two reasons: a) I found movie posters to be more authentic, mondos have authenticity to me, even if done by well-known designers... b) not keen with the design, it is very US, very ExpressoBeans.   Still shocked by the price that some prints reached.

I have an "anonymous" username on Emovie.  My online nickname is also problematic, "Fuko uchi" means "naked mole rat" in kiswahili (and also "empty pocket/bag").  Some website will simply refuse "fuko" as nickname, too close to "f*ck you"... so I do like "Rucking Fotten", I register by mixing letters.

Post by: BruceH on February 21, 2024, 08:08:53 AM
I feel that greed set in in the late 2010s. Too many prints (many not very good quality), edition sizes too big, and too many smaller ones (cheaper to print, but most collectors like Thierry prefer the 24x36). Some are cheesily photoshopped and look like they took 5 minutes to create.

Personally I would think the lesser ones will likely never go up in value, and I would prefer to never auction them. I am making a greater and greater effort to get consignors to stop sending them. Hopefully the low prices on these will cause that to happen.

marklawd's prints all did well because of two reasons. He did a great job picking which ones to buy, AND they were mostly all super early ones. If I get another collection like that I feel it too will do well.

Post by: Neo on February 21, 2024, 03:04:39 PM
It's difficult to impossible to say whether something will become popular.  The photoshopped stuff that some folks view as not as good as hand painted, etc. styles, may be more popular in the future.  It's like a Jackson Pollock vs. an intricate hand done design that arguably took much more effort to make. 

When the scalpers saw their opportunity to buy anything from Mondo or other popular places, I think that was an important time in the market.  The market gets more and more flooded with new stuff but it's interesting to see people's new work.

The print genre is thriving.  When there are limited editions that are in the hundreds - the highest bids currently at eMovie are editions of around 400-500, it shows how many people are looking for them.  Kinda like Star Wars with collectors in the hundreds of thousands to millions, some stuff that isn't extremely rare sells for tens to a couple hundred thousand bucks.  I was looking at the prices from low to high in this eMovie auction, and some of my favorites are the less popular ones.

Pffft, prints. No ephemera there, just manufactured value from someone younger than me.
Give me a dirty smelly pinholed paper poster with tape and writing on the back my dad or his dad seen at a dive cinema, any day.

It's of course much different than original posters.  I see what you mean though, how they're "instant collectibles."  The "dirty, smelly" posters that somehow survived are interesting in the sense that they're in limited quantities because they are ephemera and were not made to be collectible.

Good eye there, RM.  A more accurate way to describe them: buyers who didn't do their homework.

When some people see "commercial poster" they think it's a vintage printing, thus it's more rare.  There are some that are cool IMO.

This one looks like it's from Polish Poster Gallery; printed in 2007 as a "limited edition art poster."  An unknown quantity available from them for $40 each https://polishposter.com/4334-the-shining-kubrick-polish-poster.html (https://polishposter.com/4334-the-shining-kubrick-polish-poster.html)

Something selling for several times the usual amount is probably a small percentage of overall sales.  I've never had something sell this much higher than usual, especially such as in this case - a print selling for over 10 times what someone could buy it from the source.  Some unscrupulous sellers are thriving with "dropshipping" stuff like this - they don't even stock the item, they just wait for an order and have it sent to the buyer straight from the source.  However in the case of auctions, it's a weird position for a seller who may know something went way above the usual average, and may not fully agree with someone overpaying that much, but has to honor the sale.

Yeah it's very different, as many Polish artworks are.  Interesting how it features Ms. Duvall, similar to the UK quad, in such a way.  Her performance is very polarizing, including with Mr. Kubrick who was apparently very harsh toward her during filming.  Anyway, we all decide what's valuable.  Some similar prints/commercial posters have become somewhat scarce, and many folks don't treat them the same as numbered, popular, etc. prints, thus the few remaining become more collectible.

I don't know if its a small percentage, but I see it happen all the time, especially on HA where bidder are anonymous, which makes it easier to not feel like an idiot when overpaying on something.  Your name is out there on Emovie so everyone knows you're the one hahaha.

If I had not set up strict parameters on my bidding habits, like how much something is worth, when too much is too much, I could have easily kept bidding on multiple items, mainly to stop "the other guy" from winning (even though I have no idea who it is and couldn't care less).  You get caught up in the excitement of the moment and there it goes.  I wouldn't pay anything for this Shining poster (I think it's horrendous) but I suspect those patterns were at play here.

I figured at least one person thinks it's OMG, LOL, etc. haha.  Personally I don't think it's that crazy, but I'm also a big fan of the movie and the artwork.

Spring Breakers is 11 years old already and I'm pretty sure there are very few of these quads out there compared to how many fans of the film there are.  A24 is also huge now compared to back then, with their recent Academy Awards and everything.

Nostalgia hits different over time, and other factors, like inflation, etc. of course.  I think the demand for a lot of stuff across several genres will continue to increase for a while.

The way things seem to keep escalating, they WILL. It baffles my mind how crazy expensive posters have gotten. I'm still trying to get all of my stuff organized and catalogued after my move. As I am going through, I'm making mental notes of what i want to sell in the near future--things I have multiples of or that just don't do it for me any longer. Knowing what I paid for them back in the day and what I see them listed at on various spots today--WOW! Some prices are just unreal!

Oh damn!!!  There were a few things I wanted among the non-linen offerings of Bruce's auction, I even tried a few like Spellbound (can't find it folded), but there are too many deep pockets out there.

Looks like the last unbacked one Bruce sold was four years ago for just over $7,000, so today's result doesn't seem too out of line.
You know what they say, When T can't afford to collect anymore we're all in trouble.

As far as I can tell, only one sold in good folded condition (what I'm after, I don't buy lesser condition posters) at Emovie (none at HA).  I bid on it at the time and missed.  I resigned myself to buy a linenbacked one, but it just went for almost the same price than the folded one, which is completely wrong to me.  I had $5k in mind and bid that.  After that, we were in folded territory prices (I'll always bid more on a folded copy) and I passed.

And yes, I cannot win anything these days.  I just can't go that high.

NOT that guy. A dealer using that name. No relation at all.
