Re: Monster A GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show
HE'S BACK! Good to see you. Nice assortment of posters again. Any poster purchase is a good one, unless it's something you didn't need and spent too much money you don't have on it. Ugh. But, someday you'll sell off the excess in a huge, signature MAGG auction, make a ton of dough, and all will be well in the universe. As a fellow sucker for posters for 3D movies, I have the Hot Skin poster featured in your post (although it's way out of the norm for me year-wise) as the idea of a 3D gimmick to lure more people into yukky porn theater seats is pretty amusing to me. Porn in 3D? Egads. I've kept an eye out for an affordable copy of Wildcat Women/Black Lolita 3D to go with the other, but nothing cheap enough yet.
Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Elisha Cook, Jr. had his first major role in The Devil is Driving after a handful of minor appearances. He played the son of a rich man who keeps driving drunk, and he uses his father's influence to get him out of every jam, and then he kills an old lady while driving drunk, and his father helps him yet again, but the District Attorney who has helped the father get his son out of jams realizes the error of his ways, and teams up with a beautiful newspaper reporter to see that justice is done.
He is prominently pictured on the style A one-sheet (see https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/9467769.html). The style B one-sheet is MUCH more valuable because it has a great image that has nothing to do with the movie; see https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/14619531.html).

Re: Hondo's This And That
Mad Max ( 1979 ) Australian orange version one sheet.
I am a regular viewer of the American Pawn Stars reality television series ( 2009 - 2021 ). For anyone that is unaware of this series it is about Rick Harrison's Gold And Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas that mainly covers it's everyday sales transactions of interesting items brought into the shop by customers
Recently I viewed a 2017 episode of the series where a woman brought into the shop a framed Australian orange MAPS Litho Pty. Ltd. printed 27'' x 40'' one sheet. When asked what she wanted to receive for the poster for it she said $10,000. Although not a Mad Max fan she had originally paid $10,000 for it.
As the value of the poster wasn't known the pawn shop called in a poster expert.The expert was David A. Lieberman, the owner and founder of Cinemasterpieces, which has long sold vintage movie posters, and is well known in the industry,. He mentioned that this orange colour poster style was the rarest version and estimated to have had only a printing run of between 75 to 100. David on examining the poster confirmed that the poster was authentic, and when a similar poster was last sold it realised $4,000.
The woman was then offered $3,000 for the poster by the pawn shop worker that she declined.. The lady left with the poster stating she would hang on to the poster, and hopefully eventually make a profit when selling the poster at a later time.
( A & E )As the printing run of only 75 to 100 is commonly mentioned, and some members dispute this, I though this story would be of interest here. I think it was very ambitious for the woman to have paid $10,000 for the poster in the first place.
I often wonder where this 75 to 100 number originally originated from There is no proof this was the case, but this number is commonly thrown around,
