Re: [MOPO] it's back......and KING KONG 24sh

The KING KONG 24-sheet would be certainly be very impressive if one had the wall space... 9 high by 20 feet wide... but... in regards to the discussion we were having earlier, the artwork isn't really very good or an accurate representation of Kong... nor of Fay Wrag, Robert Armstrong or Bruce

I believe this KING KONG 24 Sheet was already in Morrie Everett's Auction in Columbus a few years ago. It was the same auction which had the two original SON OF KONG 3 Sheets which I won. Todd Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 04:00:38 -0400 From: jrl...@mediabearonline.com Subject: Re: [MOPO] it's bac

I think it is really low to attack a MoPo member on the list, ESPECIALLY anonymously. But that's not as low as our low, low prices on our lots of 4 to 7 lobby cards (including many silent era ones) that close in just 13 hours! Using our handy dandy "year ascending sort" (did you know we had that?

Re: [MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

The same thing happened 30+ years ago in the comic book "hobby". Once the Price Guide took hold, you NEVER saw anything listed for less than "guide price", and slowly all the collectors, who had a love of the actual comics themselves starting getting out, and the "investors" moved in. But eventual

Re: [MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

I guess it all depends what you're shopping for, which is why generalizations are not very useful when talking about the current market. If you collect in one area, then maybe you've been frustrated by what you feel are artificially high prices (dealers who put Heritage-type prices on everything

Re: [MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

Jeffrey, To you, and a few others that hold a similar attitude, I just don't get you guys. Who are you to play to supreme arbiter as to the value of a poster? If "the mean dealers" are asking way too much for their posters, why don't you buy the same poster from a reasonable dealer? You say

Re: [MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

Jeff, I think your frustration almost always hits a collector after a certain amount of time in the hobby when, as probably in your case, you are wanting to find better pieces as an advanced collector, but find that they are more expensive and more elusive. It really is the nature of a progress

Re: [MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

Yes, I agree with this as well, investors speculating in the market - being told by certain specialists in the field what's going to be hot and what's not. I will however wait for the revolution it will come and I'll be here still - because I love collecting posters for films I love. Simon

Ah, yes, the once "rare" withdrawn style UK one sheet and double crown for the Deer Hunter. Nice art, perceived rarity, and the appeal of it being banned art. Not ever going to be that much of a market for it. Unlike a hooker in Dior, an image of Russian Roulette hardly lending itself well to

Re: [MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

Grey, I agree with everything in your email. I just want to point out that I wasn't claiming Heritage puts artificially high prices on its posters, as it may seem from that quote you cited. Obvioiusly, as an auction house, it's the bidders who set the price. My point was that certain sellers loo

Re: [MOPO] FS on EBAY: two rare Silent Era "lobby card" sized pieces/THE PAGAN w/Ramon Novarro & HARDBOILED ROSE w/Myrna Loy

So, can we get down to the much more interesting question -- what exactly are they items worth? Bruce's email suggests perhaps maybe only $1.33 (as current bids include $8 for 6 similar era lobbies). I am not a Ramon Navarro collector, nor have I ever met one (if I have, they have not admitt

Re: [MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

Jeffery, I certainly feel the same way you do about the fact that everything I still want is now priced out of my ability to buy. You're right, it sucks and it's nowhere near as much fun as it used to be. But you seem to blame "The Dealers" who are really not the cause of price increases over

Re: [MOPO] I'm growing tired of this hobby

Rare is a relative term when it comes to posters. Since I've been researching many of these posters for my upcoming book, I can tell you Breakfast at Tiffany's is far from rare. It has come up to auction over 65 times since 1992 (not including all the ebay sales). That's almost 4 times per year.

I have a one sheet for Bachelor Apartment (1931) starring Lowell Sherman and Irene Dunne. Bruce's emovieposter.com reports selling one in September 1995 for 595. Can anyone give me an estimate for a current value? Poster has been stored rolled. It has tears and a censor stamp at the bottom. h

Re: [MOPO] Pricing estimate for the experts

heritage's site doesn't show any sales of this title. so this is RARE. "RARE" means few sales, few available. if i owned this poster, i would be afraid to put it on ebay. if bruce sells it, it starts at a dollar. heritage would discuss the start price or minimum with you. anyone on MOP
