There was this German 24 sheet for the original Frankenstein. And it was as gothic as a frame from Caligari - Went sold or even unsold for $150 as I remember - 24 Sheet? Must reside in Texas somewhere... Hmmm I wonder... But it does give one pause as to wonder where it's been all this time.

I'm not sure how wide the range really is. Some things would be easier if everyone was using the same nomenclature and definitions, but it's not too difficult to translate one dealer's grades into another's. It may be true that one dealer's 'fine' can be VASTLY different from another's, but
