Wasn't keen on the MWTGA banner, strictly after Saul Bass I think.
Didn't stay faithful enough to the design for me; arm re-rendered less
jagged, but particularly the bad type for the credits and type setting
round arm.
That said, it doesn't have the portraits, and rare.

The Man With The Golden Arm banner also went for $5k. I figured it
for about $2k (it was one of the few cases where the Heritage
estimate - $800 - was too low). It's a beautiful piece for a Saul
Bass collector and they really do NOT turn up often.
I didn't sit through the entire two Friday sessions, but sat through
enough to see that (for 50s sci-fi for example) condition trumps
all. Items graded less then Very Fine did not fare as well this time
out, though there are always exceptions. And somebody out there
really likes 40x60s, I noticed (It Came From Outer Space 3D).
The silent stuff continues to slide and the further proof of it is
there's less of it in every auction.
Overall, so far: fewer passes than last time but most items are only
going for the starting bid or just over that.

I am puzzled that at this juncture, touchstone pieces like one
sheets for This Gun for Hire; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; 2001;
The Bride of Frankenstein insert; and the Jumbo LC for Dracula were
all passed. Any thoughts?
