it was described as a 1970 Bruce
I thin everyone knows the film was first released in 1968, and so I'm
guessing everyone knows that 1970 is a re-issue

Questions:
Why was it not described as a re-release? I thought that was the
scurviest eBay trick (listing the year only, but not the re-release aspect).
WHO determined THIS is the "Holy Grail" piece for 2001 collectors?
How and when did it get a $2000 reserve? Before or after the bid of
$2,000 was placed?
If I were a rich casual collector, I might well bid on this poster,
never realizing I was bidding on a re-release, or that the piece is
a "Holy Grail" in the minds of the consignor and the auctioneer
only. But once I found out the truth, I would be mightily pissed off.
Penny wise and pound foolish!

Waaaay over-priced for a 1970 RR half-sheet.
Opening bid of $200 is more in line (and I still wouldn't buy it).

Of course, we won't hear the end of every story out there, but I'm
pretty optimistic, that the majority of 'recorded' sales actually go
through. Of course, sometimes the same copy of a poster comes back
to auction, but I'm under the impression that quite a number of
high-priced posters are not nearly as rare as they are (were?) assumed to be.
Be that as may, what do you guys think of this $2,000 poster:
I think I've seen it somewhere before, but $2,390 for an R70
halfsheet on A SPACE ODYSSEY? And only one bidder.

I think I've seen it somewhere before, but I'm not sure. $2,390 for
an R70 halfsheet on A SPACE ODYSSEY? And only one bidder.
