(Quote) The press sheet doesn't mention whether posters were printed but you would think there is a good chance that there might have been a daybill printing. High Ice was apparently made for TV but had limited Internanational release as a fi…

(Quote) I have a load of them from 1928/29. They are fantastic historical records of Australian cinema and I agree with you that going through the physical copies is great.

Thanks. That works.

There is no image in RIcks post - just the word

It would not surprise if this is a second printing.
-
Also unusual is that a full colour one sheet with revised artwork would be printed specifically for NZ release. They usually just altered original posters.
-
(Quote) Thanks Lawrence Great research as always. It is a unique poster and no surprise that the NZ censors would mutilate the most pivotal scene in the movie.

As collectors get older, desirability of movie posters changes. 30 years ago, 40s and 50s posters were highly sought after because collectors remembered seeing the films and liked the stars. Many of those titles are no longer popular because younger…

(Quote) Same questions that Lawrence has asked.
-
(Quote) Shortly after the posters appeared for auction. It got a bit heated and the post was deleted.
-
Yes, it is surprising. There was a lot of discussion on Social Media about it.
-
(Quote) The posters were definitely trimmed on all sides leaving only the artwork intact.
-
(Quote) Hopefully one will turn up at some point in the future with all of the borders intact.

Moviola in Melbourne had all of those titles in quantity

New Zealand has been a great source for warehouse finds. There have been some massive collections that have come up over the years including one that I acquired in the 1990s. It actually took me about 5 years to get it all back to Australia. The goo…

Mad Max mauve one sheet sold on eBay for $6999.99 a few days ago fixed price listing. Mad Max orange sold at an eBay auction on Feb 25th $4450.00. I wouldn't necessarily read anything into that but prices are still strong for Mad Max.

Seems logical to me
-
(Quote) That very true. I have had approximately10 over the years and I know of more that are out there. My guess is that it had a relatively normal print run with a lot more than 75-100 printed. It is still a great poster and highly sought a…

I can't recall ever having seen an Ellery Queen daybill.
-
(Quote) Looking closely at the Let's Be Famous images, there are subtle differences in the art/images. It looks like one has been copied from the other which was not at all unusual.
-
(Quote) Very hard to say but I would guess an Ad Block. I would certainly like to find a daybill if one exists!
-
Great research Lawrence.
-
(Quote) Those will be interesting topics! Looking forward to what you have found, particularly about Mad Max.
-
(Quote) This is an interesting subject to me. I am going to do some research on it. In the meantime, I will be bidding on some of your Mondo posters today!
-
(Quote) Well, I guess this raises a few questions about linen backing that I am curious about.
Why do some posters expand or contract during the linen backing process? Is it due to the linen backer not backing the poster correctly… -
Thanks Bruce. I had never considered that posters might stretch after linen backing. You learn something new every day!
-
Hi Bruce
You have a Halloween daybill up for auction at the moment and the description states ....
"This auction is for the 13" x 30" version (but the poster was slightly "stretched" during linenbacking and now measures 13 1/2" wide)… -
I would hold on to it even though it might not be worth much. Its probably quite rare and condition doesnt look too bad.
