[MOPO] Bonham's Sale

[Flixspix]

Michael and Moposties Enough  with the insert Dude.  But you will be pleased to know auctioneer paused to correct listing to make aware to phoners and people present that piece is graded C minus and please bid as to what you see and not how listed in the catalogue....  And then I think it sold to someone in the room for $300.   Just because no postings on MOPO  does not mean you can gauge its  quality.   What would you want to hear?  That a lot of pieces passed?  No  only one or two  passed I was aware.   Were prices high?  No,  in fact if you must know  many a dealer were able to procure popular pieces at very,  very  good prices.  To me that's a successful auction.... who wants to attend an auction where everything is high?   Sets of lobby cards were particular  stand outs  performing well,  but still with potential upsides due to quality and scarcity.   Biggest Surprise?  DIRTY HARRY  LIFE MAGAZINE poster  around 1200.00  and a Raging Bull signed by Scoresese  and Jake LaMotta  2200.00   Noir was soft but the better Leithold pieces were in previous auction....   Biggest disappointment.  While signing in for my paddle the French  UNINVITED  sold as the receptionist handed to me.  Nose diving into the auction room yelling BID was to no avail but made for a spectacular entrance.   Damn that poster was really deluxe,   However,  the  IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT  was withdrawn due in fact that it was a re-release from I believe 1936 surprising two  very experienced dealers I know  well.  Rudy, that qualifies as a major screw-up, not your usual oversight.  I haven't a clue who noticed or how it was determined.   Still an amazing onesheet.   freeman fisher 8601 west knoll drive #7 west hollywood, ca 90069 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
