Re: [MOPO] HA and movie posters - the future?

I would not be surprised to find that they move from a solely movie offer to all poster genres, and some of the recent auctions have had a fair quantity of music, advertising and war posters. Also, given the recent hike of minimum buyers' premium to $29, HA abhor low value items so I would expect there might now be a tendency to impose a minimum estimate or reserve ($100+?). As I said, those are surmises, but I am pretty certain that Grey's departure heralds some changes.
