Glenn,

 

I own the Cimarron poster.  It is a great image.  (It's not for sale but I'd
trade it for the US one, though.  LOL)  You can see the poster here to
confirm if it's the one you like:

My "want" is I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang.  I had the chance to buy the
only known copy at an auction about 10- 15 years ago.  It went for $10,000
and I've regretted not buying it ever since.

 

Regards

 

DBT

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.

Subject: [MOPO] QUESTION: What's The #1 Poster You Wish You Could 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?
