Re: [MOPO] FA movie posters and other some such online auction

[allen day]

Howdy y'all,
Eeeekbay has extended their free listing promotion to Jan 7, and I have been 
drawn into their nefarious scheme by listing 50+ items. Please access link 
below to view all items:

http://shop.ebay.com/charlotte5999/m.html


For those of you that have patiently waited through earlier listings to see if 
'the chump' will cave and relist at a lower price ... your patience (and wallet 
/ purse) may be rewarded.
If the link should become inoperable, please check eeekbay seller id: 
charlotte5999
Most items will close within 33 hours; forewarned is forearmed.
By the by ... should any items of interest close and remain unsold ... I am 
open to any offers.
Happy hunting to all.
Regards,

Re: [MOPO] OT ... ending of an era (spoiler ... long)

[allen day]

Howdy y'all,
Another (dubious) era has come to pass ... 
For those who knew not (or cared not), I married 2+ years ago after life-long 
bachelorhood, and subsequently been blessed with a strong willed (now 20 month 
old) daughter. Before this unbelievable good fortune occurred, I collected many 
things for 'the pad' ... many of which may not be appropriate for the women now 
in my life.
Purchasing a new house after marriage, I had the fanciful notion of holding 
onto these items for a time, in anticipation of a possible reconstruction of 
'the man-cave' in a spare bedroom.
It is now a new year ... in more ways than one.
To wit ... It is time to let go.
There will be no man-cave resurrection, s ... associated paraphernalia will 
be sold and / or consigned:
Framed and unframed posters of all genresPaper ephemeraCollectiblesBooksetc.
If you have a moment (and patience) please check eBay seller id: charlotte5999 
from time to time to view from the ridiculous to the sublime.
If you have made it this far, thanks for your time.

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Zeev Drach]

Kirby, I'm guessing you're not a Brando collector, otherwise I can't see how
you could dismiss this find so easily.

 

You are right, the realistic accuracy of the design would not matter to
Brando fans and collectors (and I am one of them) in this case. I mean, the
discovery of a Brando poster, for one of his key roles, that features art
that (almost?) no one has ever seen before is a major find, in my opinion.
I think all collectors with even a passing interest in Brando would be
floored by this poster.

As to the question who rides a motorcycle like that? I refer you to
Dragstrip Riot(1958)
http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_poster/dragstrip_riot_1958.htm

from where the image was most certainly lifted.

I'm not familiar with the design of the Hot Blood insert.  Is it different
from the standard Wild One insert?

Thanks for posting this.  I did not see my esteemed colleague Mr. Franchi on
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW with this undeniably rare reissue 40x60, so I am
interested to read this post.

 

Rare it may be, and perhaps some Brando completist would pay the estimate,
but if the design of this poster were to count at all, the film would be
entitled THE WEIRD ONE.

 

Who rides a motorcycle like that?  Waving a wrench about!  Ludicrous!  And
where is the locale?  Is this in the film?  They look like they're riding
thru the set of CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

 

Ugly!  Give me one of the nice lobbies and I'll call that the prettiest
poster on the film.  Or the HOT BLOOD insert.

 

My two centavos.

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Smith, Grey - 1367]

Zeev,
 I completely agree with you on your assessment of this poster.
Granted the image is primitively executed but making it all  the more charming 
from my perspective.
None of the original release paper features the bikes other than a card or two. 
The Hot Blood or originally slated release title on this does have some use of 
the bikes, but not prominently, if I'm not mistaken.
 I think it is a wonderful poster and should bring well within Franchi's 
estimate, in my opinion. It has the crossover appeal of Brando, motorcycle, 
biker film, and classic 50's title collectors all.
Perhaps, Todd Spoor would care to comment. He is the guru of 40 X 60 posters 
and wonder if he has seen this before?

Kirby, I'm guessing you're not a Brando collector, otherwise I can't see how 
you could dismiss this find so easily.

You are right, the realistic accuracy of the design would not matter to Brando 
fans and collectors (and I am one of them) in this case. I mean, the discovery 
of a Brando poster, for one of his key roles, that features art that (almost?) 
no one has ever seen before is a major find, in my opinion.  I think all 
collectors with even a passing interest in Brando would be floored by this 
poster.
As to the question who rides a motorcycle like that? I refer you to Dragstrip 
Riot(1958) http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_poster/dragstrip_riot_1958.htm
from where the image was most certainly lifted.
I'm not familiar with the design of the Hot Blood insert.  Is it different from 
the standard Wild One insert?

Thanks for posting this.  I did not see my esteemed colleague Mr. Franchi on 
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW with this undeniably rare reissue 40x60, so I am interested 
to read this post.

Rare it may be, and perhaps some Brando completist would pay the estimate, but 
if the design of this poster were to count at all, the film would be entitled 
THE WEIRD ONE.

Who rides a motorcycle like that?  Waving a wrench about!  Ludicrous!  And 
where is the locale?  Is this in the film?  They look like they're riding thru 
the set of CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

Ugly!  Give me one of the nice lobbies and I'll call that the prettiest poster

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Todd Spoor]

I have never seen this 40x60 before, and is very cool, much better art than the R-30x40. Zeev,I guess the question to the Brando collectors would be, would YOU pay what the appraiser estimated? I guess if it came to auction we would all find out if it would reach that estimate. I am usually surprised with very rare posters either going well above the estimate or well below it. Case in point is the 40x60 for 'It Came from Outer Space" selling for $9,500!
http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7025Lot_No=83147
I thought this poster would sell for around $3-4k, I bid up to $4,500 and got crushedby other bidders, so you never know!!!

Todd Spoor

If an insert on Ocean's 11 is worth over 9 grand (give me a break!)---it  
doesn't seem that far-fetched that this 40x60 might be worth $3500 to  $4000.

Hi, Zeev et al

I'm not a collector at all; I'm a seller.  I collect other things like 
recordings and cookbooks.
Who knew?

The recovery of any unknown poster is interesting, particularly for a title 
like THE WILD ONE.
Your DRAGSTRIP RIOT comment is very perceptive -- obviously this poster was 
copied from that
very wonderful image.  In RIOT, however, the overall design of the poster, its 
context and and the kinetics of the moment depicted make the wrench-brandishing 
exciting and menacing, whereas in the
Brando poster it's merely goofy.

Please know that I'm not disparaging Rudy's evaluation of the poster.  He could 
be quite correct.
With something that has not been seen, especially for an iconic figure like 
Brando, one could
expect some kind of brisk performance at auction.

One might sell for $3500.

But how would five or six sell?

Would the price hold up as has been demonstrable for, say, DRAGSTRIP RIOT?

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Dave Rosen]

I agree. Rarity aside, it's all about taste, personal interest and, ultimately, 
how many collectors want it and how far they are willing to go to get it.

Yes, this poster is goofy-looking. Yes, the market for Brando material outside 
of Waterfront and Streetcar is a little soft. However, that aside, I have a 
number of motorcycle enthusiasts among my clients, as I'm sure do many other 
dealers. They like their bikes and they like anything to do with bikes, 
including anything to do with biker movies. This was the first biker movie but 
it was released with very little paper that actually shows motorcycles! That 
reason alone would probably be enough to drive a number of collectors to want 
this poster...badly. They don't have to be fans of Brando or even good poster 
art.

As to whether it would reach the appraisal estimate, only an auction could 
determine that.

  Thanks for posting this.  I did not see my esteemed colleague Mr. Franchi 
on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW with this undeniably rare reissue 40x60, so I am 
interested to read this post.

  Rare it may be, and perhaps some Brando completist would pay the 
estimate, but if the design of this poster were to count at all, the film would 
be entitled THE WEIRD ONE.

  Who rides a motorcycle like that?  Waving a wrench about!  Ludicrous!  
And where is the locale?  Is this in the film?  They look like they're riding 
thru the set of CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

  Ugly!  Give me one of the nice lobbies and I'll call that the prettiest 
poster on the film.  Or the HOT BLOOD insert.

 That reason alone would probably be enough to drive a number of collectors to

 As to whether it would reach the appraisal estimate, only an auction could

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Zeev Drach]

Todd,

 

I wouldn’t pay the appraiser’s estimate of $3-4K simply because this kind of 
price tag is out of my league.  However, I’d bet that if this piece was 
auctioned off by, say Heritage, it would fetch a MUCH higher figure than Rudy 
Franchi’s appraisal.

I have never seen this 40x60 before, and is very cool, much better art than the 
R-30x40. Zeev, I guess the question to the Brando collectors would be, would 
YOU pay what the appraiser estimated? I guess if it came to auction we would 
all find out if it would reach that estimate. I am usually surprised with very 
rare posters either going well above the estimate or well below it. Case in 
point is the 40x60 for 'It Came from Outer Space selling for $9,500!

I thought this poster would sell for around $3-4k, I bid up to $4,500 and got 
crushed by other bidders, so you never know!!!

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Zeev Drach]

Dave,

 

You are so right about the softness of most of Brando's paper, sadly
however, this is true for most of the big names of the 40's and 50's.  Who
the heck collects Gregory Peck as an actor(as opposed to a couple of titles
in which he's in) these day?  Or Spencer Tracy, or Anthony Quinn, Paul
Newman, Kirk Douglas, or even Clark Gable?  And the list goes on and on.
They're all giants, we'd all agree, but the number collectors who care about
them is dwindling fast.

Marlon Brando, I think, could've been(and one day might still be) an
exception, because he was an icon while still alive.  The added problem with
Brando paper, and now I'm getting back to the original topic,  is that the
design of the posters, even and especially for his key titles, is so poor
and uninspiring.  You can go over them one by one, Streetcar Named Desire,
The Wild One, On the Waterfront, and others, and you won't find even ONE(!)
decent design.

 

Sorry for going on like this, but that's obviously a touchy subject with
me..  ;-)

Brando's paper almost always sucks until you get to some of his 
sh*tty movies which seem to have better paper (but who cares for those titles)


among the worst poster designs ever are the posters for the Men

expect some kind of brisk performance at auction.

One might sell for $3500.

You are right, the realistic accuracy of the design would not matter

mean, the discovery of a Brando poster, for one of his key roles, 
that features art that (almost?) no one has ever seen before is a 
major find, in my opinion.  I think all collectors with even a 
passing interest in Brando would be floored by this poster.

i agree with Zeev and it's interesting that Brando, Clift and Dean were each 
served by terrible US campaigns for all their major films:
A Place In The Sun, From Here To Eternity, Suddenly Last Summer, On The 
Waterfront, Streetcar Named Desire, The Wild One, I Confess,  Rebel, Giant, 
East Of Eden
all pretty awful campaigns and so none of these actors has a single US poster 
that truly shows them at their peak.   clift looks only so-so on the 
uninspired A Place In The Sun 1sh.  a better image is The Heiress 3sh (on the 
1sh he's largely hidden as per I Confess and much of his other paper).  
was clift too pretty for public consumption?  the best clift portrait must 
actually be the one on his section of The Young Lions 1sh (although ruining 
things on this poster is brando who looks more like derren nesbitt).  james 
dean posters, including rebel, I find very meh.  who designed the East Of Eden 
campaign?  a monkey who's acquired production stills, scissors, cataracts and a

it's a wonder these guys became icons at all.  this wouldn't have been allowed

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Richard Halegua Comic Art]

a lot of people who did the promotional aspects 
of films - especially in the 1950s - clearly had 
their heads up the proverbial ass
look at lobby card sets from some companies.. 7 
shots of the same crappy scene and one nice image (maybe)
the Lawrence of Arabia set has a nice TC and 3 
okay shots with 3 incredibly boring images of Arabs in the desert


back in the 1930s when the studios had their own 
art directors on campaigns (like the fabulous 
Karoly Crosz who also did some of the best 
Universal posters) we see great imagery and 
artwork.. in the 1950s it's clear that the 
campaigns are being done by ad agencies, some of 
which clearly farmed the work to their least visual employees


of course, don't get me started on WB posters of the 1943-1949 period

Brando's paper almost always sucks until you get to some of his sh*tty
movies which seem to have better paper (but who cares for those titles)

among the worst poster designs ever are the posters for the Men

For some of these stars (James Dean in particular) some of the lobbies and 
8x10s (at least color 8x10s, where they exist) are much better than any of the 
posters of any format for their movies.

Ultimately, as time passes, collectors age, trends and fashions change, many 
former icons will only be known for one or two of their films, while others 
will cease to be icons altogether, joining the vanished stars of the silent 
era. And the process is probably helped along by the lack of attractive movie 
paper on them.

It's sad to watch this happen, especially with a star the calibre of Brando,

an actor(as opposed to a couple of titles in 
which he’s in) these day?  Or Spencer Tracy, 
or Anthony Quinn, Paul Newman, Kirk Douglas, or 
even Clark Gable?  And the list goes on and 
on.  They’re all giants, we’d all agree, but 
the number collectors who care about them is dwindling fast.


Marlon Brando, I think, could’ve been(and one 
day might still be) an exception, because he was 
an icon while still alive.  The added problem 
with Brando paper, and now I’m getting back to 
the original topic,  is that the design of the 
posters, even and especially for his key titles, 
is so poor and uninspiring.  You can go over 
them one by one, Streetcar Named Desire, The 
Wild One, On the Waterfront, and others, and you 
won’t find even ONE(!) decent design.




Sorry for going on like this, but that’s 
obviously a touchy subject with me..  ;-)

I agree. Rarity aside, it's all about taste, 
personal interest and, ultimately, how many 
collectors want it and how far they are willing to go to get it.




Yes, this poster is goofy-looking. Yes, the 
market for Brando material outside of Waterfront 
and Streetcar is a little soft. However, that 
aside, I have a number of motorcycle enthusiasts 
among my clients, as I'm sure do many other 
dealers. They like their bikes and they like 
anything to do with bikes, including anything to 
do with biker movies. This was the first biker 
movie but it was released with very little paper 
that actually shows motorcycles! That reason 
alone would probably be enough to drive a number 
of collectors to want this poster...badly. They 
don't have to be fans of Brando or even good poster art.




As to whether it would reach the appraisal 
estimate, only an auction could determine that.

I have long held to the idea that if a big-name actor has 3 truly great films 
to his/her credit, then he/she is doing very well.  I know, it doesn’t sound 
like much but if you play this game, pick at random a big star(not your 
favorite though, because then you’re not objective) and go over in your mind 
through his achievements, you’d soon realize that it’s not easy to come up with 
5 truly great movies spread out over an entire career.  That would be the 
domain of the true superstars!  And there aren’t many of those.

Clark Gable is known for 2-3 films today (for the most part)
GWTW
It Happened One Night
the Misfits (because of Marilyn)

otherwise, he is entirely forgotten and that is a shame as he was a fine actor

i agree with Zeev and it's interesting that Brando, Clift and Dean were each 
served by terrible US campaigns for all their major films: 

A Place In The Sun, From Here To Eternity, Suddenly Last Summer, On The 
Waterfront, Streetcar Named Desire, The Wild One, I Confess,  Rebel, Giant, 
East Of Eden

all pretty awful campaigns and so none of these actors has a single US poster 
that truly shows them at their peak.   clift looks only so-so on the uninspired 
A Place In The Sun 1sh.  a better image is The Heiress 3sh (on the 1sh he's 
largely hidden as per I Confess and much of his other paper).  

was clift too pretty for public consumption?  the best clift portrait must 
actually be the one on his section of The Young Lions 1sh (although ruining 
things on this poster is brando who looks more like derren nesbitt). 

   

james dean posters, including rebel, I find very meh.  who designed the East Of

it's a wonder these guys became icons at all.  this wouldn't have been allowed

Re: [MOPO] Wild One R60 40x60 - Anyone ever see one?

[Evan Zweifel]

Don't trust you mind -- this is the age of the internet.

Pick a star, find them in IMDB, and look at their film credits sorted by 
rating.  If you assume (like I do) that anything rated 8 or above is a truly 
great film, I think you will be surprised at what you find.

My favorite star has always been James Stewart and to his credit:

(8.70) - It's a Wonderful Life (1946) 
(8.70) - Rear Window (1954) 
(8.60) - Vertigo (1958) 
(8.40) - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 
(8.10) - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) 
(8.10) - Rope (1948) 
(8.10) - The Philadelphia Story (1940) 
(8.10) - Anatomy of a Murder (1959) 
(8.10) - Harvey (1950) 
(8.09) - The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 

Not to mention nearly another 30 (WOW!) respectable films rated 7 or higher.

However, I think that he is the exception -- and I suspect that your number (3) 
is dead on!

Evan
