Sounds like a bit of a wive's tale to me...LOL
MOST people do not have the wall space to display these, especially 6
sheets and they are much more difficult to handle. even moreso, if
they have been backed... to even lay it out... clear the furniture
and make a 7 foot by 7 foot space available.. otherwise.. huge rolled
linen backed pieces are sitting around. one sheets are simply easier
to maneuver. even a 3 sheet is, considering the width on these is not
as big an issue as the 81" 6 sheet width.
sure there are SOME wives that might object. however,, this being the
primary reason... i highly doubt.

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 :)

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?
