Bruce, I can tell you why 6 sheets and 3 sheets are frequently less popular in one word. WIVES. Yes indeed, there isn't a seller anywhere who has not experienced the near thrill of a sale of a large format poster only to be nixed by the distaff member of the household. Where size does matter in many a happy marriage, posters for some reason collide with the aesthetic sensibility of the little lady back home. They simply can't conceive of seeing so much wall dedicated to a single design.................yet they have no problem with wallpaper! While there are some progressive, forward thinking women out there to be sure, on the whole most just can't straddle so many inches of treasure every day. Its a conundrum many a male collector has had to compromise to keep the proverbial boat from sinking. Its true, its just no one ever talks about it :) freeman In a message dated 5/12/2009 7:02:56 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I am currently auctioning three-sheets and six-sheets so of course they are on my mind! Here are my questions: 1) I see a fair number of the three-sheets and six-sheets where they are currently below the price of the corresponding one-sheet! Is that often the case, and if so, why do you think this happens? 2) I sometimes hear collectors say, "I would buy three-sheets and six-sheets, EXCEPT they are too big for my walls". But many of these same collectors have HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of one-sheets that sit folded up in boxes, and are never displayed. So, if it is going to sit in a box, what difference do they make if they are one-sheets, three-sheets or six-sheets? 3) Some ad campaigns have three-sheets and six-sheets where they are simply "stretched-out" versions of the one-sheets (like Forbidden Planet), but other times the three-sheets and six-sheets have completely different images. I think that when the three-sheets and six-sheets have similar images to the one-sheet they should sell for somewhat more (due to the greater size and rarity), but if they have superior images they should sell for a lot more, and when they have inferior images (like in the case of The Sin of Nora Moran three-sheet, which is nowhere as nice as the one-sheet) they should sell for a lot less. What do YOU think?
