offered on ebay
Now I thought it was a rather large anomaly that
one sold at heritage for over 4 grand, then the
next auction (may 9) they had one sell for over $1000
Yet here is the same poster (of which I have had
two pass through my hands and still have one) listed for a ton.
Now I ask you this
.is this another case
in...hey this poster sold for a ****load at
auction
.so mine must be worth the same. And
now every time this poster is offered for sale
it will be at this new inflated price because
someone once forked over this ridiculous amount (IMO).
Ive been collecting for over 20 years
my forte
is sci-fi
and Ive seen this poster many times
in the past 20 years
so in my opinion it is
really shouldnt demand the same price as some
of the higher-end posters in this genre. I
dont even think it should have brought a grand
at the last auction but again someone probably
thought they were getting a bargain when
compared to the auction results before that.

One thing to remember Jeff, is that you never
see cancelled checks after auctions end, to
prove the sale actually took place, and that it
was at the reported price, or that no trade was
involved, or that the "buyer" didn't take a year
to pay (if they ever paid at all).
Many times over the past 40 years I have seen
items "sold" for HUGE prices, and later learned
that the buyer never paid. When the item goes
back to auction, the new buyer THINKS they got a
"great deal" because they ONLY paid a quarter of
what the previous "buyer" paid, when it often
was the case that NO ONE ever paid that price.
Also, many auctions over the years have been
caught red-handed posting sky-high "results"
that never happened. Since they don't pay any
commissions to anyone if it is their own poster,
it is only their personal integrity that
prevents them from reporting false results.
The owner of the world's largest sports
memorabilia auction was ARRESTED a few months
ago by the FBI and charged with numerous
offenses, including selling false autographs,
doctoring cards, etc, and that auction house was shut down.
Don't always believe what is "reported" and take
everything you read with several HUGE grains of salt.
