Neo thanks for sharing your experience

The continuation is that he emailed me the regarding the same poster I had consigned above (I did tell him I had a copy in better condition).
Anyway he told me that a collector was looking and was willing to to pay an insane price. I thought about it and consulted my wife
 
I got back to him and wanted to maybe go ahead. He replied that the collector had already acquired another copy which I have no problem with but his last line was

you snooze you lose

I should have told him to fuck off back to his mum's basement and play with his Ken accessories.

I had a similar experience consigning there a long time ago.  I sent him a few modern posters, not very expensive but relatively expensive for modern.  After he received them, he suggested to list them in eBay auction, so I said OK.  One poster that I remember is a Death Proof quad (great poster, sold for about $100) and a few others for $50-$130 - about average market price, and the commission was 50%. 

I had a similar feeling about emails, also.  About 2 months after the sales, I messaged him for the payment and he sent it.  Not a great consigning experience, but at the time I had recently paid about 10 times more than market price on a handful of common posters from Cinemasterpieces - clearly I was a newbie to buying and selling.  In the long run, those deals compelled me to do a little homework, and essentially paid for themselves haha.

Cool pick up, I had never heard of this soundtrack poster before.  I didn't realize it was so rare until I read your post since it looks just like the OS style A.  Congrats.

The normal production poster of this is harder to find than a normal style -A but isn't super rare compared to other posters.  It's in the Kilian checklist poster for instance.  However, this is the first proof poster of this version publicly sold and on top of that looks like it was actually signed off on which makes it extra special.

Thank you both.

I figured my plan for shipping was good, and you've confirmed my thoughts on how to do it.

I did see that Black Cat poster and thought it was pretty cool looking.  Have you seen the movie?

Honestly, the best thing about so many linen is that it allows me to go through the catalog pretty quicklyv thumbsup.gif

I've seen 1941's The Black Cat (not to be confused with the much more famous 1934 Universal movie of the same title which also starred Lugosi as well as Karloff), it can actually be found on an old Uni horror DVD collection I own that includes other minor titles like Captive Wild Woman and Man Made Monster.  It's definitely a lesser entry in the Universal horror canon, but an entertaining one nonetheless, particularly for a completist like me.  It's also notable for having an early appearance of Alan Ladd, who would become a major Hollywood star after starring in a few classic film noirs (This Gun for Hire, The Glass Key and The Blue Dahlia) just a year later.

I got the star wars soundtrack proof poster at today's propstore auction. And this appears to actually be a signed off one so the people who don't like to call untrimmed posters with color bars proofs can still call this one a proof because it actually is one. Interestingly the date is late June 1977.

Cool pick up, I had never heard of this soundtrack poster before.  I didn't realize it was so rare until I read your post since it looks just like the OS style A.  Congrats.

I agree with Thierry that there were too many things on linen for my taste at Propstore today (as usual), but I did win a folded copy of The Black Cat (1941), a minor Universal horror title that is very scarce (especially in unbacked state).
