First off, I was NOT referring to the super-expensive items (but am I wrong in
understanding that Dennis had paid $85,000 for the Bride half-sheet?; if so,
his estate lost a large amount to that one) . There are only a handful of
people who buy those. I was referring to the kinds of posters most collectors
can afford.
Second, I have trouble navigating the Heritage site (it may well be my fault).
When I try to see the completed auctions, I am not clear if I am seeing them
all, and when I sort them by price, they only kind of go into a price sort.
So, for all I know, I may have not even been looking at the right sale! Were
the following results from this auction?

PASS
Is there a direct link that can show me ALL the results, including those items
that passed at the auction?
Finally, I was NOT in any way saying the bottom was falling out on
horror/sci-fi posters, just that it seemed to me that the prices on posters
that are "affordable" to most collectors seemed "soft" to me.
But I wish I had never brought up the subject, and I will join the chorus and
accept that horror/sci-fi prices are stronger than ever!
Someone else brought up cartoon posters. Anyone want to tell me THEIR prices
are stronger than ever?
