Re: [MOPO] Interesting.

Great stories, Tom, as always. Everything of any value I ever had I took out of the trash. I saved the stuff because I loved it. When mint Psycho inserts started going for 20 bucks it made me smile. Posters were my mana from heaven. They fell from above, fed me, clothed me, cared for me.

A slabbed VHS tape. Now that really is funny. Now what would be the ultimate VHS tape? Maybe the boxed set of PEEWEE'S PLAYHOUSE? Kirby > On Apr 18, 2022, at 7:14 PM, Grey Smith wrote: > > I don’t think anyone is suggesting the hobby is dead. > I suggest the Heritage auction this weekend

Re: [MOPO] Interesting.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting the hobby is dead. I suggest the Heritage auction this weekend will do millions. Rich’s point was merely a moment in time comparison to the huge explosion of other hobbies. I am frankly excited for the future! If prices lag, I will buy. If they grow I will smile.

Re: [MOPO] Interesting.

Boy if you were watching Bruce's auction yesterday, there are definitely certain titles that don't seem to be slowing down in value growth. I sold my Pinocchio one sheet a few years back for $6500, a good price at the time. Yesterday, it went for close to $11,000 and those Marx Brothers cards

Re: [MOPO] Interesting.

I don’t think the hobby is broken. Not sure that values or price increases for high end material should be the sole criteria in determining how things stand. One thing that certainly affects values is that there is an absolute mountain of material out there with more large collections

Re: [MOPO] Interesting.

All sad but true. I liquidated a large part of my collection a few years ago with Grey’s help. I’m happy with what I kept, but miss a lot of what I sold. All for the best. The folks that love posters will continue to love them, but the reality is that the number of those folks is shrinking.

Re: [MOPO] Interesting.

All well said and sadly, many very obvious points, Rich. I think Heritage will either keep the auction I built and succeeded with as much as any house out there, or they will combine it with the Entertainment memorabilia venue and cut back the quantity sold. Many of the other collectibles have

Re: [MOPO] Interesting.

It's no surprise to me that Heritage wants to 'up the ante' Heritage Signature auctions are a showcase, and it is the lowest performing segment of their categories and there is a good reason for it.. the movie poster hobby.. is broken let's take a look at other hobbies,like comic book

[MOPO] Interesting.

Hi all, I was just communicating with HA regarding the criteria for inclusion of movie posters in their Signature Auctions. I'm told that they are looking for pieces which should realistically fetch a minimum of $1000, but 'that value threshold may be raised in the future as we explore other
