Likewise here. Particularly confused about the Clockwork Orange poster. At the value stated it was presumably the David Pelham style, and I thought what Geraldine was saying was that though it wasn't listed in the inventory by Heritage it was put in the October 2010 auction. But I don't believe that style Clockwork Orange or anything for that title of that kind of value appeared at Heritage in October 2010
