Not great at parties, I'd have probably ended up in the kitchen
chatting to J.P.Gresham all night, but sounds excellent.
Very disappointing about the Bride, despite the climate was fully
expecting a new record.

Heritage hosted a nice little reception tonight. Besides all the
Mopo'ers meeting for the first time other Mopo'ers (and no doubt
thinking YOU LOOK NOTHING LIKE I THOUGHT YOU WOULD but in a good
way.....I am pretty sure) absolutely the star of the show was
Todd's advance one sheet for THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. They had it
in an oversized frame, gloriously spot lighted on a wall all by
itself yet separated by a gauntlet of glass cabinets. I wasn't sure
if I was suppose to light a candle and genuflect or plant a tree for
Israel. Yet poster was well within access and close enough
(think the Mona Lisa or Moon rocks) to really encourage close
examination. What was remarkably impressive in person, besides
clearly noting it was folded/unbacked and in miraculous condition,
was the blue/green question marks and the words WHO WILL BE and
WHO WILL DARE visually screaming against the brick red tones of the
poster. What an astonishing use of colors. As great as Herit!
age's catalogue photography is, poster remains even more amazing in
person. And truly a bit arresting seeing such a singularly rare and
historic one sheet from our hobby/business. Those goddamn Honus
Wagner Baseball Cards have nothing, NOTHING on Todd's piece. Hell
throw those firstie Superman or Batman comics and still they would
pale.
On a much lesser but equally dramatic revelation in person was
the one sheet for DODSWORTH (a great film certainly, but what a
great one sheet) the 9 foot Austrian KING KONG (Stunning! So much
so I thought Toochis Marin was going to start crying) the Bette
Davis one sheet for EX-LADY and well too many others to list.
Staffers were busy all night pulling items for individuals so the
oohs and aahs were consistently floating in the air. Good grief THE
FURY 6 SHEET when brought out was a show stopper. Probably the
biggest surprise for me personally, was the Mini-Window card for THE
WALKING DEAD. Good grief, now I know why so many people enjoy
collecting these small treasures. Yeah they are scarce, but the
printing consistently impress.
Since Heritage is also hosting an Entertainment and Props auction
on Sunday there were also great costumes (And not one anywhere near
my size. good grief what shrimps movie stars were/are, I am sure I
could beat most of them up) , scripts, beautiful photos and props
to look at. Should be a busy and successful weekend for Grey and
the LA based Heritage crew. Great to have another major poster
auction in LOS ANGELES. This felt so much like the stories I have
heard regarding Bruce's auctions when he hosted them here. Will be
attending at least the first wave of bidding tomorrow. It will be
interesting to see if the location change from Dallas impacts the
results, but my guess is the internet may simply be such an
overwhelming leveler that it may prove to be moot. Nevertheless
this is a most appreciative treat for those who live in the City of
Angels and vote Democratic.

I'm going to the Heritage auction preview party tonight. Hope to
see some
other collectors and swap tall tales.

I'm not jealous
I was planning on going to the auction pickup and when I see the
winning bidder walk out with the poster I was going to ambush him
in the
alley

What a gorgeous one sheet!
