Actually, Heritage had a copy in the November, 2004 auction (not quite two years ago) which sold for $4,600 (sale #607, lot # 19220) that is probably in condition similar to Ed’s.

The near mint copy from three years ago sold for $8,050 – well short of “almost $9,000”.

But your point is well-taken.  Yes, this poster is being offered at less than the absolute highest price this poster has reportedly sold for in the past.

I think the comment might have been more directed at the fact that the asking price is hardly in line with an item “I wish I could keep”, but that is not to say it isn’t attractive to someone and Ed has already stated that people are welcome to contact him privately.

Hey Gang,

   I don't think Ed's price is so out there.  This poster sold for almost $9000 three years ago at a Heritage auction.  I can't remember what auction house it was, but I was on the phone bidding on one about 2 years ago and it went for over $12,000. Of course, both of those copies were in mint condition as Ed has stated his is. I'm sure he has negotiating room, but I don't think he is that out of line with the price. This is a valuable, hard to find poster.
