bought at auction. help?

in The '60s
I purchased a banner? type movie poster at an auction today but have no idea if it has value. I haven't unrolled it to measure it because I don't have room but I'm guessing it's about 30 ft long so a marquee poster? It's for Walt Disney's "That Darn Cat". It was in a lot with another ad banner dated 1966, so I assume it's from the 1966 version. Can anyone tell me about it?

    Made from paper? I'm not quite sure.

    Hate to say this, we'll need a pic of it.

    Yep - even a portion of it would help

    I'm trying to upload a closeup but photobucket is fighting me about it....

    The material appears to be a very light canvas. Its ripped at one end and there are loose threads. The text is painted. You can see the brush strokes.

    imageThere! Finally.

    It's very possible that it is simply a local theatre produced canvas + paint banner

    Regardless it is a cool bit of history

    Clearly not standard NSS issue.  Maybe for a local premier or something... Nice!

    Value??? It for That Darn Cat...

    The most one has sold for is about $150 in any format.  If you can track down the theater and it turns out to be a famous theater then you might dip into two categories.  But overall I can't see the value being more than $300 IMO...

    If it was for Star Wars or BAT, much, much more.  It's size also minimizes it's value ceiling - you would have to find a buyer that loves that movie and has a warehouse to put it in.

    LOL....well the cat lover would be me. I actually bought it because #1 I work with a kitten rescue and "damn cat" is uttered a minimum of 100 times a day at my house, and #2 I DO live in a warehouse....it's an old store converted into an apartment with huge high ceilings and no deviding walls. I'm thrilled with it and for the $22.50 I paid for it, it's going up on my wall!

    Thanks for all your help guys!

    As good a reason as I can think of to own it and display it! Well done! Besides, there are no cat lovers here

    Ha! Thanks for the link! I'm currently fostering 10 kittens for the local shelter. They live in my laundry room and it's like being swarmed by bees when I walk in there....

    I have two Darn cats...they either sleep or talk.

    Tami, you can definitely say you have a one of a kind banner and it's cool too!
