Hi, I just thought that I would chime on this one... I think the point is being missed...If all of a sudden you have 75 copies of a rare item, the value is automatically changed by the laws of supply and demand. Anything you do to control this is some sort of insider trading. If you lie to numerous people, you are protecting your own interests at the expense of others. What if you auction one copy and get the record setting price? All the bidders will feel cheated when the next 74 come up for sale. You would feel the same.
The deflated value is a reality...these posters should be sold at an estimated new, readjusted value and all will work out. You just won't become rich. Also, once a number of these posters show up, try to convince the market that there are only 75 in the find. The gossip will fly (75 or 750?) and the item just might loose all of its value. I have purchased large quantities of rare items many times over the years and have sold them for prices related to the find.
