Maybe popular as people wanting to see the film but not for the price of movie 
posters. Bruce just sold a linen backed one sheet for only $99 for IAMMMMW. The 
posters for 2001: a space odyssey seem to sell for a lot more - even the non 
Cinerama roadshow ones.

No real surprise. Not are these not just studio issue 35mm publicity
transparencies that were issued for colour magazine use at the time, but
extremely scarce behind the scenes shots with their own film-connected
provenance for what is arguably the most popular Cinerama film of all time, and
the ONE Cinerama film that has developed an enormous cult following over the
years.

> I have been watching those auctions carefully.  I am a big IAMMMMW fan and
was definitely shocked at the ending prices each time.  There is something to be
said about that kind of item.  They are totally unique.  It's a captured
moment in time and I was fascinated by the images.  However, I just couldn't
go those prices for 5 slides.

getting way more for the slides than what a movie poster for the same title
