In any case a nice item for anyone who is not in poster collecting. As any item found in AR and similar shows whether a cuckoo clock, furniture or a poster is about insurance value I’m not too bothered about the valuations. Nice enthusing item I think.
Very curious whether there has indeed never been a sale of the WotW quad.
