Would be interested to know what the view is on whether, if this
sells, it's likely to stay complete or be broken up.
I can't imagine anyone buying this collection to break it up
the starting bid is $6mil and the most likely buyers would be
institutional collections.
the BFI or the Academy being the 2 most obvious interested partys
someone asked me if a bunch of dealers would group together & buy it,
but here's the question to that "how would you expect a bunch of
dealers to actually split it up?"
the fights that would be engendered would be epic.
The collection has at least one lobby card from every Lon Chaney
movie and every Boris Karloff movie. how would such portions be divided?
the collection will sell to one buyer, who will use it for exhibits
