I just noticed something while cruising through the real time price results
at icollectmovieposters.com. There is a seller on eBay who seems to have an
unlimited supply of the #9 Lobby Cards. The seller, Perry2181, seems to be
pretty sophisticated. He accurately describes what the #9 series was all about
-- and even though he keeps offering these same cards over and over
again (getting darn good prices for them), he restrains himself to making
the offer only once a month or so:
http://www.icollectmovieposters.com/start-movieposters/start-sold/Default.html ...
just put in #9 in the search window and go through the pages.
Even though I've seen this seller's auctions before on eBay, I didn't
notice just how many of the #9s Perry2181 was selling over time. Now, since the
original #9 Lobby Cards were ostensibly limited to a run of 200, how likely is
it that this one seller would have so many original sets in his possession? I
have been concerned about the possibility of fake lobby cards for some time
because their size of 11x14 is easily done on modern color copiers and the
modern machines can take card stock paper.
So, I'm wondering if anyone has any info on these sales by Perry2181 or any
idea on how likely it is that these are "originals". I use the term loosely, of
course, as the original #9 Lobby Cards were in themselves fakes... created out
of whole cloth to enhance... sort of... the original lobby card sets with
all their dull, non-monster images. But considering the prices these sales are
bringing in, truly "original" #9 lobby cards now have to be acknowledged as
potentially valuable collectible items themselves -- if they are from that
original 200 print run, that is.
