The Invisible Man 1-sheet would be my #1 choice. Dave

Curious to see if any of the posts could actually get a match! I have four... 1) So This Is Africa US one sheet - Only film Wheeler and Woolsey made outside of RKO. I have the Swedish one sheet don't think the US one exists. 2) Rhythm On The Range US One Sheet. Bing Crosby Paramount Musical. It's not an expensive poster and I've seen a couple around but not for a while. 3) Cimarron (1931) - Swedish One sheet. It's around but pretty damn expensive. Great Graphic of Dix with smoking gun. I think it's better than the US one sheet. 4) Invisible Man Universal US Advance. I think it's the coolest one sheet of all the Universal horror. Ron Borst made fun of me for liking it so much but hey everyone's eye sees things differently.

I had my fill of priests as an altar boy, generally I don't trust lawyers and I've been married so many years that I'd rather discuss posters (they've always been a nice escape in the past). The knee-jerk reaction to this question is obviously Metropolis or Frankenstein---something from the top of the list of posters that realized the highest price in auction. Of course I'm talking about the cost of the desired poster being prohibitively high--but also its scarcity on the market. I think my "dream" poster would be an original Public Enemy US one sheet. I know I'll never have one. Hey, I don't even know if one exists.... (I've actually heard a rumor over the years about a certain long time collector who has one in his collection...but that's just a rumor). I realize that a Public Enemy one sheet would be worth over 50 grand, but I'm not really talking about the money here. I'm talking about the passion for the piece. I'm sure every collector has that one poster that they've always wanted, but know unless they win the lottery AND they're lucky enough to stumble upon it...alas, it will never be theirs. Does anyone else out there have a poster like my Public Enemy one sheet? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
