In one of the early TCM/Bonham's auctions I consigned some good posters. The lots performed poorly, and some were not sold at all. Perhaps this was because Bonham's chose to hold the auction on a Monday morning. I failed to notice the auction date and TIME particularly, and that was on me. But who does that?
