Is it just me or are things really bad? Ive been paying attention to prices and it seems at BEST,...movie posters have plateaud and at worst are crashing.
I mean,.even the so called good stuff doesnt seem to be really that impressive anymore. I wonder how much one could get for an Attack of the fifty foot woman poster or This Gun For Hire [0ne sheet]. I think its going to get worse. :( --- On Fri, 12/26/08, Bruce Hershenson <brucehershen...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Bruce Hershenson <brucehershen...@gmail.com> > Subject: [MOPO] FA: 1,998 posters in Parts III & IV of our end-of-year > One-Sheet Auction Extravaganza ending 12/30 & 1/1! > To: mop...@sol03.american.edu > Date: Friday, December 26, 2008, 1:50 PM > * eMoviePoster.com's End-of-Year One-Sheet Auction > Extravaganza is half > over, but you STILL have 1,998 one-sheets to bid on ending > 12/30 & 1/1!* > One-sheets are the most popular size movie poster, and > we have been > consigned many thousands of them, and we have not been able > to keep up with > auctioning them, so we are holding this end-of-the-year > event (which we hope > will become an annual event!), as a way to help us > "catch up" on auctioning > the one-sheets we have been consigned (and you will find > lots and lots of > excellent titles contained within the thousands we are > auctioning).
