Hi Bruce, Thanks for letting me know about the Star Wars Spanish Style C printer’s proof, that it is not the only one. I have amended the listing. Also, thank you….thank you…..THANK YOU!! for your free database of actual movie poster sales results. I do use it quite a bit. In fact, before I did the listing I checked your database to see if there were any recorded sales of Spanish Style C printers proofs and did not see any. All that is in there are a few entries that you sold some style C’s back in 2001 for $150.00 to about $500.00. Your database is incomplete in this area and does NOT say they were Spanish and it does NOT say they were printer’s proofs. Didn’t you just sell one of the regular U.S. style C proof’s with pg ratings box at one of your auctions recently for about $2000.00? This one that I have is actually not one of the ones you sold previously. This, along with several other proofs I have acquired recently have never before been for sale. As for starwarsmovieposter.com’s claim that there were only 200 Spanish style c’s printed, I have no reason to doubt that. Paul Wilson (who runs the site, and whom I spoke with before I put up the listing) knows more about Star Wars posters than practically anybody. He was even at Star Wars Celebration in L.A. last month at the request of Lucasfilm and gave a presentation about original Star Wars movie posters. I handle more original Star Wars posters than most people (not all! ;)) and I have never seen one until now. They obviously don't pop up too often. Even the Star Wars poster book published in 2005 by Lucasfilm says it is extremely rare with 9 out of 10 stars for scarcity and value appreciation. As for the “years can go by without one of these coming up for sale” That is NOT what I say. Please check EVERY ONE of my auctions currently listed. I have not used those words for quite some time, (at least a year). I used to, but not anymore. What I actually say is “A LONG TIME can go by without one of these coming up for sale”. I don't say “YEARS”. I don't see how this is misleading at all. There is no universal definition for “a LONG time” and I am not even saying a long time HAS gone by. I'm just saying it is quite possible that a long time CAN go by. Some people like to make a bigger deal out of this than it actually is. That’ s fine, but I have no plans to change it. There are plenty of people who don't have a problem with it and think it is quite ridiculous the amount of attention it gets. And, honestly, do you really think anyone is swayed by this statement alone to actually make a purchase or to bid higher than they normally would? If you think this is worthy of a survey however, then by all means have at it. Bruce, you are the king, I have nothing but the greatest respect for you. We don't have to see eye to eye on everything though do we? For example: Awhile ago I openly banned Tom Loce from bidding on or buying any of my items. You know as well as I do that he constantly rips off newbies with minty white fake lobby card sets and inserts. Why do you let Tom Loce openly bid on and buy your items? This is the guy who blatantly sells minty white inserts as originals (didn’t you make such a fuss about this just last week?) and this is the guy who created a fake website and disguised himself as professor powers to try and give these fake inserts some legitimacy. Isn’t that just a bit hypocritical in a way? Dave
