Jeff,
PIH has been selling all type of memorabilia including lobby cards,
stills, movie posters for many years. Most of the times they focus on
high-end material. I would not call them a props auction....they are
one of the leading sellers of stills and scripts as well. Remember
their Frankenstein one sheet sale, Raven window card, King Kong three
sheet & six sheet, Creature from the Black Lagoon six sheet & three
sheet, Citizen Kane...top and rare posters.
Also they sold the entire inventory of the Hollywood Collectors
bookstore...possible the largest movie poster, lobby cards, and still
auctions in one single auction ever. I cannot imagine another similar
auction coming up soon...PIH has also selling original movie poster art
for a long time...I have not seen any other auction house selling that
many original movie poster art.....they also sell scrips and movie
related first print books.....
Collectors of high-end movie posters typically research most of
available auctions out there....and remember there are only a few life
auctions left these days....Bonhams, Heritage, Christies, and
PIH...among some specialized smaller European auction houses....this is
pretty much it.
I always had the best service and quality received by Joe and his team
of PIH. I can say the same of Grey and Bonhams....Christes South
Kensington is a little different. They used to have great
auctions...too bad Sotheby is out....I also miss Bruce life
au
ctions...got some really great pieces from his auctions as well. Grey
has been excellent since buying posters in his first auction...always
amazed of the quality items Grey discovers. Well....going back to
PIH...I have seen the same collectors and dealers on the floor bidding
at both Grey's and PIH auctions...always fun....to say the least...a
lot of fun.
Best / Philipp

Subject: [MOPO] Question - Dracula 1-sheet info
Why did the consignor use Profiles in
History and why is this poster in a Props auction? Wouldn’t it be
better with Heritage or some of the other top auctions houses in a
poster only
auction being the star of the show? Or were they trying to fly
under the radar?
I’ve been collecting for quite
awhile and bought at many auctions and I never heard of “Profiles in
History” until the fake Universals sprouted their ugly heads.
