And there you have it - the world's greatest poster expert stating proof
positive that Finnish posters are the cat's meow, rare as hen's teeth and that
owning one is akin to hitting the lottery.
Sorry you weren't able to get a Finnish Gilda for your auction Bruce, I too can
only imagine the dizzying heights such a rarity would bring (if one is even
known to exist - at a minimum it is ten times rarer than any US poster on the
title.)
But like the song says - You can't always get what you want...
And if anyone has a Finnish Godzilla poster for the first movie (or even second
or third), I am a ready, willing, and able buyer.

I am willing to stipulate in a deposition that today, Finnish posters are
quite likely the most rare movie posters there are, and that anyone who obtains
even one is one of the luckiest people on the face of the Earth..

P.S. For those very few of you who ARE seeking a Gilda B-style one-sheet, it
just so happens we will have a really nice example beginning on Sunday. I was
really hoping to get a FINNISH Gilda poster consigned, but I had to settle for
the U.S. poster!

We are getting ready for our monthly eBay auctions and while I don't have a
Bride of Frankenstein insert of a Gilda Style-B one-sheet to offer at this time
(but really, how many of us are actively hunting those right now anyways), I
will be spotlighting over 200 posters from Finland this time.
These posters are very rare in the marketplace - when we offered up a
choice selection last year, I was very impressed with the collector response,
so this time we have an even larger selection covering the 50s through the
early 80s. While there are probably aren't any multi-thousand dollar titles
here, there are a lot of titles that very rarely hit the marketplace, so I feel
very fortunate to be able to offer this many at one time (in fact I don't think
Bruce has sold 200 Finnish posters total in all his years in the business).
We have put up a preview of over 100 of these babies at our website -
www.platinumposters.com
so please take a look and then bookmark our auctions for Sunday evening.
Thanks,
Sean
