Movie Poster News from 1999

John

Having a look through a box of memorabilia that my parents had kept and found this report of the Christies auction of some of my posters in 1999......

Excellent article John. I wonder if the poster is still hanging in the bar area of the cinema?

Good bit of history there, so were you happy with the price achieved for La Dolce Vita at the time?

I love the other comment, about the highest price paid for a poster was $92K

John

Well, I might have been happier if La Dolce Vita had been mine! There were around 10 posters in the auction that I didn't own. Overall, it went pretty well but I cant find the actual auction results.

Cool.

Anyone know him and can expand on what happened to him and his collection, based on the article he's about 60 now.

So in 1989 was the Aussie dollar REALLY worthless?!

$50,000 for an R54 GWTW half sheet?  Apparently he was addicted to more than posters

The classic example of people thinking everything they have is worth a fortune.
