From the perspective of someone who likes it on the wall:
Yes, the linen backing, the framing, if it merits protection then UV
is a nightmare at that size.
I love 6 shts, but only have one, and I'll most likely leave it at that.
For a 6 sht to be justified, taking up that much wall space, I think
the art has to be awesome.
Ok-ish/mediocre art X 6, it gets worse.
Amazing art X 6, very nice indeedy.
Your Fugitive from a Chain Gang is a good example of one that passes
with flying colours.
Cheers,
Rich

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?
