Imagine it should easily be a record for a 6 sht.
Phantom of the Opera has been eclipsed by Casablanca, and more
recently The Outlaw.
(Errr, the first copy to appear.)
Record for that title?
I prefer the art to the I sht, you wouldn't want a larger area of
lesser art.
But it's the Frankenstein Advance that takes the cake for me.
If I had that kind of money I personally wouldn't value it above the
German Metropolis.
Buy it, I like the scenario, but you may have a problem displaying it
in your trailer.

Yes, it did sell for $388.38! Many good deals were had by buyers and
now is a good time to buy! This was the fourth time to have sold
this portrait card and all being different copies. And though this
would normally sell in this day and age at $500-700, there are
always tremendous deals in a Heritage auction, as it is all about
who is watching at that time and participating.
Thousands of participants buy and bid with us every day and we
receive less than 1% in returns of merchandise for any reason.
Overall the Auction did almost $1.2 million and counting, with many
great after-auction deals to be had and they are moving fast!
We set some great records for the more rare and some not so rare
material. Over 1200 bidders participated in the auction and for
those of you from this group who did participate, thank you so much.
And for those just watching, that is appreciated too.
We have a tremendous November auction shaping up now so please be
saving for what is sure to be an outstanding selection!
Highlights we are hoping to include:
Public Enemy- one sheet
Little Caesar- one sheet and Six Sheet
Gold Rush - One Sheet and Twenty-four Sheet
Animal Crackers - one sheet Style A
Red Dust- six sheet
Frankenstein- six sheet
Cavalcade – one sheet
Casablanca –six sheet
Notice: these are what are hoped for! ;-)

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Slabbed Lobby Cards at Heritage
Holy Macaroni, how did THAT card (certified to be "fine to very
fine") sell for four hundred smackers? I sold that for $750 over 20
years ago! Like I have been saying, this is the best time in over 20
years to buy quality movie paper, even if you have to go through the
annoyance of "de-slabbing" your item.

Very nice, the best card.
And very similar condition to the one sold last Nov, (though judging
by pics, the colours appear to be stronger on yours), but at 2/3 the
price.
Since taking my new lobby out of the plastic only de-values it if/
when it comes time to resell it
We can probably reserve judgement on that.
With this particular card, (albeit in a difficult climate), it
doesn't appear to have had a particularly positive effect.

As the purchaser of a slabbed lobby card from Heritage this weekend,
and a collector who's younger and much less experienced in this
hobby than most of you, I thought I'd throw in a couple cents...
The slabbed card I bought ($325 bid -->$400 all told) is the
portrait card from MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON (1939), CGC graded
7.0, Heritage graded Fine/Very Fine:
http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7025&Lot_No=83797
I'd never seen a CGC encapsulated lobby before this Heritage
auction, and I actually emailed Heritage asking about it -- whether
I'd be devaluing the card by removing it from the plastic, which I'm
inclined to do so that when I frame it, it will look the same as my
other framed lobby cards. (Though I have a large box of posters
under my bed, I always buy them with the intention of framing and
hanging them; I'm just out of wall space for anything bigger than a
window card at the moment. I buy posters as decoration, not
investments.)
In addition to my query about CGC, I also asked Heritage about their
*original* description (no longer up), which noted a tear in the top
border (that I couldn't see), but said nothing about what appeared
to be a large tear in the bottom middle that went up into the image
area. What's interesting is the reply I got from Bruce Carteron at
Heritage:
"Thanks for your inquiry. You can certainly take these out of the
sleeves to hang them up. You would just have to have the card
regraded again if you resold it. None of the defects were supposed
to be mentioned when it was CGC graded. The tear was taken into
consideration when it was graded originally."
As I wanted the card to frame and hang (MR. SMITH being one of my
"top five" favorite movies) and I didn't see the tear in the bottom
as being too detrimental to its display value, given the limited
bidding, I put in a small bid and won. Still, I thought it
interesting that for CGC cards, Heritage seemed to think that
putting the CGC grade in the description was good enough.
Personally, I would have preferred the "tear here, crease there,
three pinholes" kind of description they give for the rest of their
lots, especially since this was a "Signature" auction.
Long story short, I bought this card IN SPITE of its CGC
encapsulation, not because of it. I know I'm less sophisticated
than most of you long-time collector/dealers. I bought my first
posters in 1997 from a price list I received in the mail. I knew
nothing about "sheet" sizes or even "R" re-release dates, let alone
condition, and hadn't even seen an image of the posters I bought
(based on film titles) until they arrived. Needless to say, I've
learned a lot since then (and replaced most of those original
purchases with better quality posters in more reasonable sizes with
better images from those titles). Now I pay attention to things
like condition and previous purchase prices (mostly from Bruce and
Heritage's online databases), and buy fewer, better posters than I
did when I started. I also only buy from reputable dealers and
haven't purchased a poster on eBay in at least five years.
Since taking my new lobby out of the plastic only de-values it if/
when it comes time to resell it, and in the meantime increases its
value to me, that's probably what's going to happen to it when it
arrives. Thought that might interest some of you.
