I think as notable as these results is the result for a poster like
the three sheet for I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE, which is a dynamite
poster and has been ignored for years. Someone gives it a venue in
which
it is noticed by clients with money, and suddenly the poster does
$1015.75 (including
the dreaded awful nasty and always to be avoided no matter what
BUYER'S PREMIUM.)
Now maybe the poster is not "worth" that, although "worth" is a
relative term - "worth" to whom? -
but I know that people will start to hunt for that poster and will
not look at it in quite the same
way again.

I did watch some of the Heritage auction and drooled over the
goodies...
But honestly, I'd love to know who can spend amounts like this on
movie paper. $334,600, $89,625, $71,700..... WOW. I think a more
interesting tale would be the stories of those who are capable of
actually spending this much for a piece of movie memorabilia and
what they plan to do with it. (Bank vault, no doubt!?)
Just what do these folks do for a living and how can I get a
similar job?? :)

Subject: [MOPO] A Few Results from Heritage's Latest Vintage Movie
Poster Auction
Hi everyone:
We'd like to thank all of the bidders and consignors that
contributed to the success of our latest Signature Auction, which
realized $2,663,774 for 1,335 lots sold. It was a very exciting
event, and we're very grateful to our many friends in the hobby who
have supported us in our efforts. It's also gratifying to see the
strength in this hobby, clearly seen through some record-setting
results.
The Bride of Frankenstein one sheet, was, of course, the star of
the show at $334,600. The Dracula title card, at $65,725, set a new
record for the sale of a single lobby card, easily surpassing the
old record, set by Heritage in November 2004, for the Bride of
Frankenstein title card that sold for $46,000.
Strong results were also obtained for the Pride of the Clan three
sheet, which brought $53,775, more than tripling our pre-auction
high estimate of $15,000, and a This Gun for Hire one sheet, which
brought an unheard of $47,800.
Here are just a few of the top results from the November auction.
Compete results can be found at our website, www.HA.com.
Best regards,
John Petty
