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?? :) In jealousy, Scott MoPo List Owner (and perpetual bargain hunter) -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Petty, John - 1283 Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 1:21 PM To: [email protected] 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.
