the point of my post was to ask how much more are you willing to pay for "MUCH BETTER CONDITION"?
also, the post shows what we all know-----different venues have different price structures. bruce was super honest in his description.? you know that anyone who gets his poster--especially collectors of Rock Hudson--will be SUPER HAPPY because the condition does not warrant "top dollar", so you're getting a nice piece at a fraction of what a fixed priced dealer would sell it for.? and,?the poster is truly presentable!!!? and considering that most of bruce's buyers on the lesser expensive items win many lots in one night, throwing this poster into the batch for whatever amount it generates will certainly please the winner. mchael -----Original Message----- From: evanzwei...@comcast.net To: dialmbb...@aol.com Sent: Mon, Jun 22, 2009 4:24 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] what premium should you pay for near mint posters? I think that if you look at the sales results from emovieposter: TARNISHED ANGELS 1958 1sheet - linen; **FBO VG $94.00 04/07/2009 TARNISHED ANGELS 1958 1sheet - FF; **FBO G-VG $78.00 01/01/2009 TARNISHED ANGELS 1958 1sheet - linen; **FBO VG-Fn $125.00 12/02/2008 TARNISHED ANGELS 1958 1sheet - FF; **FBO VG $75.00 11/13/2008 TARNISHED ANGELS 1958 1sheet - FF G-VG $54.00 04/24/2008 TARNISHED ANGELS 1958 1sheet - linen VG-Fn $129.49 12/11/2007 TARNISHED ANGELS 1958 1sheet - FF; **FBO lesser $20.00 05/09/2006 TARNISHED ANGELS 1958 1sheet - **FBO G $34.00 05/13/2003 Suggests that in "poor" condition this poster is more realistically a $20 item. Maybe even less. Personally, I'm not going to be bidding against you! Its a little tricky to decipher these results, because they both span multiple years, include free books (not that anyone thinks that effects the price), some arelinen backed, and Bruce typically under grades the items. However, the fact that it never sells for more that $129 linen backed (a $100 process), suggests that this poster may even be worthless in this condition. As for the "mint" copy. I'd venture a value of $50 -- and declining rapidly. Check out: http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/poster/147294.html which sold for $54 a year ago.
