Could Own But Know You Never Will
Great question! 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.

Own But Know You Never Will
Thought I'd steer this back to the realm of poster reality. 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?
