"The Mummy" may/may not flail at Sotheby's on 2018-10-31
So I've been entertaining/annoying other MP venues and sparing VMPFers/daybill love-slaves! 
But I'll pontificate re this subject:
+ Latest article:
https://observer.com/2018/10/sothebys-halloween-auction-mummy-movie-poster/
+ A super-heavyweight told me it would flail - "a retail sale masquerading as an auction"
+ Many US newspapers prominently covered the announcement:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2018/10/11/rare-mummy-poster-could-fetch-record-million-plus-auction
Good for hobby, embarrassing if it flails!
+ It REALLY is in NM condition but how? In "Reel Art" book it was reported that studios printed 13-20K one sheets in 1930s for major movies but NOBODY collected them or preserved them. Only 3 Mummy 1S survived to now.
+ "Horror Legend Joe Dante on The Mummy, Film Posters and Growing Up a Monster Kid"

Feirtag is STILL trying to pimp it on eBay for $950k!
How 'bout you?

Forum fail! You must cut and paste above link to your bowser.
I'd b surprised if it hits $1M - even if it does, I don't think it will create that much uplift for the hobby. When a car sells at Barrett-Jacksons for a record price all the other cars don't suddenly get a lift in value.
Flail!

He justified IMO the $1.14 million starting bid but I can’t detail why.
He liked my quirky Photoshop image above but was not interested in loaning it to a museum
Hw had uncomplimentary things to say about....
Are you able to say what he plans to do next? Will he be trying to sell it again?
