Re: [MOPO] The Scandal-plus cut, pressed washed, starched & dried....

David, OK, looked at from that perspective what you said makes a kind of sense. Except I have a hard time seeing it that way. A professionally-restored poster that "appears to be in C9 condition" actually becomes a C9 to virtually everyone as a practical matter. We all know that a really good

The whole thing was just beautifully done - will make a beautiful Blu-Ray for those who don't have a good art-house around. Not for everyone, I guess, but both the principals were excellent and Chanel's house was mind blowing. Kirby On Jul 18, 2010, at 10:20 PM, Phillip W. Ayling wrote: > The

Re: [MOPO] The Scandal-plus cut, pressed washed, starched & dried....

jr No, you are wrong. I think you may have misunderstood my post. First of all.a c7 poster is still a c7 poster even if it has been fully restored and now appears to be a c9-c10 poster. That is what I was comparing.a c7 unrestored poster to a c7 restored poster that appears to be

Re: [MOPO] The Scandal-plus cut, pressed washed, starched & dried....

David, Your example logic is faulty: An unrestored poster in C7 condition is essentially the same as the restored poster in C7 condition. If a C7 were "fully restored on linen" by a pro it would be considered at least a C9 or C10 (although some claim a poster that has been restored can never

[MOPO] Heritage auction - surprising result

I thought one of the most surprising results was the very low price for the Blackmail Australian daybill. It has been virtually impossible to find anything on this title up until now. A trimmed lobby card sold for $15,000.00. I thought that the $4780.00 for this poster was an incredible bargain

Re: [MOPO] This Gun For Hire.

I believe that Film Noir posters are becoming more deisrable than ever. Many collectors who purchase these posters have never seen the films and just buy them for the image or the tagline. However, the prices that This Gun for Hire one sheets were going for always seemed to me to be over the o

I think we're going to have to throw out results of price searches from + or - 2007, and are just going to have to get used to lower prices for the next few years. Those were as artificially inflated as (and likely propelled by) the housing market, imho.   I was pondering this and what struck me

Well, I can't speak for your screen and how your colors are adjusted, but hopefully your computer is pretty accurate. However, I did look at the poster itself quite closely. The colors on this poster were simply blazing! The reds were not painted over as I could easily still see the "dot" patter

Absolutely. There is no way to stop a consignor from calling a friend and having them enter a bid on their item. But my consignors *ALWAYS *pay the full commissions, no matter what, so it is an incredibly costly move to have a "friend" bid on an item if they then get "stuck" with it, because they p

This whole issue of comparing the colors on a computer image to a real poster is dicey. While sellers can make every attempt to be accurate, unless sophisticated monitor calibrations are made, there is no way to send out an image that will look the same to everyone and that will conform to the

Re: [MOPO] The Scandal-plus cut, pressed washed, starched & dried....

I trust you and believe you Ron. But why are the reds on the poster unlike the reds on any other example of this poster I have seen? Is it possibly from a variant printing? Or maybe I need to adjust the colors on my screen? Bruce On Sun, Jul 18, 2010 at 9:07 AM, Ron Moore wrote: > Hey Bruce! >

I had a chance to look at the This Gun for Hire image, and I will bet $100 that either the image or the poster itself (or both!) have had mucho "punching up"! When you say, "I know you err well on the side of unflattering in your listings, and I think it's a smart policy. And though you wouldn't "
