"Is that often the case?"
Really? That's your question? After 20+ years in the business you decide today that you have no idea if 3-sheets and 6-sheets often sell for above or below the one-sheets? That is kind of interesting though, because as I was looking through some of the pressbooks we have up for sale (http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/platinumposters), I was noticing that many times the price of a lobby card set would be several times that of the one-sheet, so I got to thinking - If lobby sets were originally much more expensive than one-sheets, is it often the case that lobby cards will sell for more than the corresponding one-sheet (and if so, why do you think this happens)? _____ From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Hershenson Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] A couple of questions about YOUR opinion of three-sheets and six-sheets 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.
