You may well be right but I wonder if all of the recent negative publicity will dampen the high end market.

LAMP is doing the best they can by reporting only auction sales (with the exception of the Metropolis poster) and not reporting private sales where there is even more of a temptation to fudge selling prices, or at least half the top ten would be out of the top ten. A second Black Cat one-sheet (not the recent fake sale one) sold soon after the heritage auction for a price that would put it in the top ten and I know of at least three other private sales in the past year that would qualify. ----- Original Message ----- From: JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 11:34 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] A question about top selling posters Leaving N.P.Gresham (possibly related to Alan Smithee?) aside, I was just having a look at the top 10 sales. If any of those posters came up at any major auction in the next twelve months, I wonder if any of them would go even close to achieving the reported prices.

Are there any fakes on the list, and if so, will they be removed? Are there any items purchased by N.P. Gresham, and if so, will they be removed? Bruce P.S. I also wonder if those two worlds ever coincided (did N.P. Gresham ever purchase a Universal fake, and if so, was he refunded?)
