Hi,
Bigger problem seems to be a bit of fading in comparison to other
examples at Heritage, etc. Maybe it's the way the photo was taken. And the
fact
that it has canceled postage on it and was once-upon-a-time sent through
the mail from my perspective adds nothing to its value. If it was mine, I'd
take the $250 and run. But that's just the way I view it in today's
market...

Howdy y'all,
I received a question to one of my listings; copied (sic) from my ebay
answer page (except for name withheld)
Link to the listing: http://search.ebay.com//140872669163 If the link is
inoperable, please check listings under seller id: charlotte5999
As you know a much better poster has been sold by bruce for less. The
conditionof your poster is really poor and is in dire need of backing and
restoration which most likrly will be in the $400 and up range. A price
between
$200 and $250 would appear fair . Considering the current market and
economy coupled with the numerous listings my questio to you is......do you
really wantto sell the poster? Would you be agreeable? (name withheld) on
mopo.
You can reply there.
I withheld the name for obvious reasons, name will be unavailable unless
permission granted or the author comes forward.
After checking the auction results at emovieposter.com, I noticed that Bru
ce has sold only one R57 poster ... $430 in 2008
To answer the questions raised:
1. Yes, I really want to sell the poster.
2. I am agreeable (mostly), ask anyone who has ever bought from me (or
check my ebay feedback history). But, I regretfully decline the apparent offer
of $200-$250.
Okay, poster descriptions are an exercise in semantics, whether you are
positioned as buyer / seller / interested bystander.
Depending on your angle, the poster is in really poor ... serviceable ...
"good for it's age" ... very good ... (insert your own).
This poster is one of a kind (actually 2), in that the poster has a
written address and postage stamps on reverse ... yeah, that's right, mailed
naked, so to speak.
It is the only poster I have ever seen in 40+ years of collecting ... that
has apparently been mailed with no protection; that is, until I came
across another poster: Creature Walks Among Us, which btw ... is in another
current auction.
Both posters would absolutely benefit from restoration / backing, but ...
those stamps keep reminding me of another era. (My era, I'm getting old)
Soooo ... what do y'all think ... am I asking too much for a derelict
poster (actually 2) that has gone thru some tough times and postage stamps?
