Re: [MOPO] READ THIS POSTER COLLECTORS: Heritage Auction Results>>> RECORD

[J R]

Philipp,   It wasn't all roses. Sue Heim missed out on bidding on two Heritage lots because someone on their end screwed up on the phone bidding. While I'm no big eBay fan, you're not seriously suggesting that this is the only way to go? Most poster collectors ("real" or not) simply can't afford to participate in these high-end affairs. And you don't hear much talk about the  $40,000 for a BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN title card because, well, sorry to say, most of us cannot and will not ever be able to throw away that kind of money on a small piece of 69-year-old paper. That doesn't mean we aren't "real poster collectors" you know.   I mean, what's there to say about such an absurd price anyway?   Now, if someone wants to discuss the artistic or printing or rarity aspects of one early Universal horror title card over another, that would be interesting. But waxing lyrical over sky-high record prices doesn't do much for me.   -- JR ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 23:15 Subject: [MOPO] READ THIS POSTER COLLECTORS: Heritage Auction Results>>> RECORD WOW WOW WOW AMAZING  $40,000 for the title card of Bride of Frankenstein without the 15% premium.

I did not hear from ONE single MOPO member of this auctionl. I wonder sometines if MOPO is a club of REAL movie poster collectors or just a club of teenage boys collecting $10 posters. I have not heard any reasonable response of any LIFE collecting poster collector. Is EVERYONE afraid to talk about their recent collection additions. MAN, what a group of afraid little boys.
