I threw in the DVD first time in maybe 5 years again and: yes above the Bed in Woody's apartment is Across the Pacific 6sh BUT:
>From minute 10.20 on there is Woody Allen in front of a CASABLANCA R49 1sh pictured numerous times (at min 21 with lots of stills around and some silent Halfsheets? Cecil B. Demille..in the bathroom!), also visible on the walls from there on: a KEY LARGO 1sh, AFRICAN QUEEN insert, SIROCCO insert, DEAD RECKONING 1sh, lobby cards etc. So quite fun, these weren't worth much in 1972 and not too difficult to get in the industry for decoration purpose for a set I guess..

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 <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/search_results.php?N=54+794+4294957167> 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! ;-) From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Hershenson Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 6:04 AM To: [email protected] 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.

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.

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 <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7025&Lot_No=83797> &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.
