Re: [MOPO] Auction Prices

Helmut and Tommy - you guys are onto something. Because yesterday I was tracking a Blazing Saddles insert at Heritage and I saw it jump to near $200 with its 20% buyer's premium, a poster that can be had for a little more or a little less, depending upon condition and this one was pretty nice.

Re: [MOPO] Auction Prices

Great discussion. 🙂 David, With regards to the Star Wars half sheet, I love it and was an under-bidder on a high grade one last week at Hakes that went for $2,141,70. While the art of the half sheet is amazing, it probably isn't the iconic image that either US or UK audiences saw when they wen

Hi Tommy and MOPO, I’m not sure I have any terrific insight other than business seems to have grown well during the last year and likely due to a number of reasons. I suggest the already discussed stay at home element makes people more interested in online activity and the need of a pleasant dist

Yes, Covid hit a lot of people in the financial nuggets, but those who didn't feel the squeeze and were able to transition from work to home with ease have this new disposable income per se. Meaning, their car expenses went down due to not driving as much, eating out and other forms of weekend ent

Re: [MOPO] Auction Prices

$2,100? That's hefty for the '77 half-sheet and might suggest the $3,000 fetched 3 months ago at Heritage was not an anomaly. (Concept pencil art of the Jung half-sheet sold for $45K in late 2017.) Condition does matter as eMoviePoster sold a "good" condition HS a year ago for $430, while a "
