Yes, some have multiples. In my time collecting I've noticed that us Australians are some of the best and worst hoarder's of vintage movie posters, which ever way you look at it. There are collectors that have multiple copies of some excellent titles but do not wish to sell or auction any. The question is why? Perhaps some don't want to get burnt if the poster/s sell cheaply. But some have acquired them decades ago when poster collecting wasn't in fashion as it is today, and have paid zip for great titles..
I think if people can count X number of poster known to be in existence (excluding the revolving door copies), then you can probably assume there is at least that many around that know one knows of.
Collections of posters are constantly coming out of the woodwork, from behind the walls, under the floors and up from the shed that consistently contain titles that were thought to not exist or exist in low numbers.
Is there less posters on offer this time than normal or will there be late inclusions? Seems to me the last few signature events (by either EMP or HA) has less than usual - or am I wrong?

Looking back at HA at 2014 signature auctions, they typically had 1200 lots per auction. This year it's around the 800 mark. I think still more to be loaded in the current HA auction.
I had an I Married a Witch daybill about 10 years ago. It really is a rare one as opposed to The Outlaw reissue daybill. The number of those daybills that have been sold must be in excess of 50 but it still seems to maintain its price.

The only thing we know is that it is a small wartime 10 x 30 daybill. Looking forward in seeing this rare Richardson Studio design.
