I think the Bette Davis poster is still clearly worth a lot more than Tomcats. The fact that they are selling at about the same price is indicative of the current lack of taste in this country. The problem with the Watch on The Rhine poster is that there has always been a reluctance on the part of some collectors to collect duo-tone posters and lobby cards. I always thought it was based ona misconception that duo-tone posters were always re-release, which is clearly not the case. FRANC

In fact, I would not have been surprised, if I had bought the first poster from Michael back then, to find that he had used the second poster as wrapping paper! What does the above say about the hobby? And how long before we see "Tomcats" fake one-sheets?
