Hi Freeman! And all other MoPo'ers Glad to hear you still don't believe I'm the anti-Christ! I'm actualy just your friendly neighborhood rare horror movie poster dealer. And don't feel alone when you say that the whole genre escapes you, there are many collectors out there who simply just don't get it when it comes to rare horror posters and the prices they command. But each to his own. (You will of course recall a certain King Kong standee I helped you with. I have to admit that while you thought the price Johnny paid was high for the Raven half sheet, I actually thought the price he paid for your post-war almost duo-tone foreign poster for the Wolf Man was high! That's all kind of amusing in retrospect. And while the prices that Heritage received for some of their horror posters were indeed world-record prices for those titles, I (and others) have already discussed this and felt some of the prices were lower than expected- such as the Frankenstein title card that hammered at a mere (!!) $28,000.00. A bargain? To horror guys- YES! To collectors of musicals... someone got reamed! Hey, that's the hobby and that's the biz. The Universal horror material is in a league of it's own and can almost be excluded from the rest of the hobby. My congratulations to Grey, as usual, for putting on a marvelous auction where it appears that this hobby has no limits and continues to grow with new collectors coming into the market. Ron Moore Cinema Icons --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Heritage so far has grabbed some almost obscenely high returns on their high end horror pieces. This should put to rest those that wondered if high end horror was becoming too incestuous. With the death of two of the most well know collectors of the genre, it seems there still remains a healthy audience whether actual collectors or investors who still blindly pony up the big bucks as if Munster Money. Then of course in between auctions these same guys have no problem beating up independent dealers over $700 lobby cards of equal scarcity. Just a backslap of an observation you know I like to joke Anyway, I have to confess the entire genre is a language that escapes me. For instance THE RAVEN halfsheet. I had a truly eye-opening experience with Ron Moore who had acquired the halfsheet and from myself a truly beautiful Italian 4 foglio for THE WOLFMAN for Johnny Ramone, literally days before his passing. Meeting him at his hotel before he was leaving to meet with Ramone, to deliver again in my estimation a stunning Italian 4 foglio at a reasonable price. We talked a bit and then he said would I like to see what else is being delivered. Sure! So Ron proudly removes the halfsheet from its sleeve and shows me with his usual flourish. Now honest to God I looked at and mentally thought it was on par in appeal and value with House On Haunted Hill maybe a bit more given the age. But hell my 4 foglio ran circles around this rather banal halfsheet. Then he told me the price... Up to that point, Ron seemed to me a helluva a nice guy but I was so thoroughly convinced he was taking advantage of a very ill client.this halfsheet in my mind so completely unremarkable that I thought Ron was engaging in a horrific bedside gouging and I began to feel queasy and really creepy..it took forever to get back to WEHO from Burbank. I then immediately called my Horror mentor Ron Magid who went all a dither that I got to see such a rare Horror Holy Grail. Ohhh ahhh! okaay Yeesh!! ...But to hell with my ignorance I was so relieved that Ron Moore wasn't the Anti-christ. If you read the forward in the Hertiage Johnny Ramone Collection you will read a glorious first person account of just how much that halfsheet meant to Johnny Ramone. and the ulitmate disposition of the Wolfman 4 foglio.

Re: [MOPO] Big Titled Horrormeisters Are Breathing A Sigh Of Relief YES?
i agree with you 110%...i just got home from work where i participated in the auction. I was stunned by some of the prices...ihave passed on items in other auctions i could have had at great prices because the posters didn't appeal to me and vice versa. this raven half sheet doesn't appeal to me...you could have had how green was my valley for alot less and still gotten a book...i suppose i can understand if you have a certain type of collection and deep pockets and a poster like this surfaces your going to pursue it. I would love to see what happens when they unearth a vampyr poster or the like...this post is a bit disjointed because i'm crazy tired g'night to all in mopoville From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2007/03/30 Fri PM 10:08:01 CDT To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] Big Titled Horrormeisters Are Breathing A Sigh Of Relief YES?
