I saw that Roadshow and couldnt believe it when he said 100,000 pounds.
Have no idea where he got that figure. I know many of the appraisers, dealers themselves of course, have a very high-end clientele who probably pay ridiculous sums for things (and thus many of the valuations tend to be at Saudi oil sheik levels) but even so I thought that one was over the top. _____ From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of martin last Sent: January-06-16 2:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] UK Antiques Roadshow: Strange valuations Check out this link for an AR piece on British Quads - broadcast last week: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03cvthv It was good to see a long feature (maybe too long) on movie posters but I was not totally convinced at the info given on the Lawrence of Arabia re-release (value) and the War of the Worlds poster (i.e. the fact that no quad exists and that if it did it would fetch £100,000 upwards). The LoA estimate of £5,000 is surely out given that Heritage have sold two for less than $1,000 (inc. BP). Pre-awards would be a different story. As regards the WotW. I could have sworn that I have seen one in a catalogue, on a website or on TV. In fact, I have a feeling that I actually saw one on the UK AR many years back. It was in a large collection of 50s/60s quads. I cannot find any reference to it now but I also cannot believe that a 1950s quad for a not-so-fantastic movie could fetch £100,000+. Any thoughts? Anyone remember that UK AR show? The guy had a mouth-watering collection. _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> &A=1 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
