    :x
    I'd bet $1 it would be considerably less second time round.

    I don't disagree with Reg that Daybills are becoming quite the collectible, but I feel that price was somewhat of an anomaly.
  • Casablanca paper is hot, hot, hot right now!
  • Bit of a background story on the Frankenstein 3 sheet . Most people will like the morale at the end of the story as described by the person that found frank...

    thanks a lot for sharing this article. It really makes interesting reading. To think that someone offered 10,000$ on ebay. Later jumping to 100k $ is fascinating. Oh boy.

    Yup. A lot of vultures about. It was probably a poster dealer that was looking for a quick flip.. 
  • I've seen collectors do quick flips too.

    Your welcome Rosa! And to think some people might have accepted 10K. Good on them for sticking it out.

    For me the morale of the story is if you ever get the opportunity to climb into the ceiling of a heritage cinema....take it  !

    :P :P :P

    Ain't that the truth!
  • Haha...I thought the morale of the story was... listen to your wives!! :P Jokes aside, great poster. Great story.

    Great article!  Thanks for posting!  (I had thought a bit about why the monster's eyes were missing and now we know)

    Heritage, no doubt about it they bring one amazing selection of posters to their Signature Auctions


    At this time their reserves aren't showing so enjoy while you can before you find out you can't afford it ;)

    Well no doubt David  you are drooling over the Disney paper, Fantasia is a treat.

    A Rear Window O/S for Charlie

    Must be tricky grading the cloth banners when "intentionally distressed"

    No aussi paper (Johns shed find will sort that out so we have a way forward here :) )

    Nothing for me ...but Devil Dogs of the Air popped out at me image

    Anyone planning on having a crack at something ?


  • I try to stay away from non-Daybill Disney - Aussie paper is far more practical on the wallet.


  • I really don't have any money left... so many incredible posters!!!
  • amazing selection is right! James Stewart made 6 movies in 1936. Little known Speed was one of them. They have a nice title card coming up. photo 1777AC3F-1366-4432-AB43-AC524E8D6EC2_zpsi6ip2kub.jpg
  • Wow Mark, I missed that one! Great stewart lobby card!
  • Yeah, it is nice for its age... That Devil Dogs is a great entrance piece for the house! Great artwork!
  • This is cute

    Wild Orchids (1929)

    Where's Charlie? >:)

    Mudhoney (1965)

    Watching this because I am a massachist :D

    image

    I like this one, my wife doesn't - she wins

    And the purty or fun ones...

    And the ones I am curious about...

  • I bidded
  • The film Queen Of Outer Space was never released in Australia.
  • Seems extraordinary to me that there is not one Australian poster in the upcoming Signature auction. What do you all think about that? Heritage has some incredible posters in every signature auction but how come they don't seem to ever get any significant Australian material of late? The exchange rate would surely favour consignors at the moment.

    You've got it all... :P

    Exchange rate is fine, but to send any piece across there one has to insure it, one has to pay the postage, then deduct the 25% (?) selling fee. 

    Unless it is an amazing title then perhaps the reality is good Australian paper is not that popular in the US, perhaps because most paper is likely to be chased by Australians who then have to pay the exchange rate which is unfavorable for buyers at the moment; add in the Buyer's Premium (19.5%), then add the USD$ cost of the postage, the USD$ cost of insurance and then if over AUD$1K (about $USD$700) then add the Customs duty.
  • Because Bidll gets all the high priced Aussie paper results now!
  • Mudhoney is a keeper...

    Now then Reggie, I am not very smart but if it wasn't for the fact you were a stand up guy one would suspect a hint of sarcasm in your rofling.
  • Ahh Daveo, no sarcasm mate. I genuinely found the cheeky Canadians comment very funny..

    It's been bloody quite everywhere in terms of significant Australian material turning up. Nothing from auction houses, dealers and private collectors. I have had the quietest year so far ever since I started collecting! Hopefully it picks up!

    Like I said, I am not a very smart guy (I barely can feed myself soup with my fork), 'cause I am not sure how cheeky it was, afterall I doubt any other movie poser auction house anywhere in the world has had the value or rareity of Australian paper up for grabs in one auction as BIDLL has had.

    Just think how much money your are saving for BIDLL's next major event...  ;)

    I wouldn't want you to drop your dentures in that bowl of soup of yours. Who would of thought me laughing would cause you such grief.. Nobody doubted anything matey.
