Posed these same thoughts on APF - what do you guys think?
Feels like there is more to this story given the 22 year gap in the posters coming to market...I wonder how the anonymous builders came into possession of the posters in the first place? The article states the owner of the house had died - did they purchase the house from the estate or family and thus took ownership of the house (and remaining contents)?
Did they buy them (or obtain them) from the family or estate after the discovery?
Or, more nefariously, did they simply take them while performing their 'building' work without the homeowners' knowledge...?
22 years is a long time for a scavenger win to be kept, unless the builder was a collector then I would have thought he would have gone for a fast flip?

The one sheet kicks the daybill's arse. Must be worth at least $3000.
Metropolis Robot style sold for an amazing $180,000 plus buyers premium. Yet not much interest in the Flood style at $38,000 plus bp.
The Auctioneer called in sick, so they grabbed some guy off the street with a dorky 70's haircut.
Great result, wonder if it will make the news Downunder.
You've got think just how rare any paper on this title is.
If only
Then daybill pandemonium broke out all over....

So a few days ago I saw this:
There were 42 watchers for a "1941" Wolfman 3S.
I immediately clicked over to that auction, but the seller had stopped that auction
and had also stopped the second re-auction.
I emailed the seller and he said he was assessing the poster's value. The listing said it came from a locker owned by "Bozo the clown."
I did a little research and discovered it was from the 1948 re-release.
The seller has not relisted the poster and has probably cut a deal "off eBay."
If you're interested, shoot him an email. (He didn't answer two follow-up emails.)

Really?
The owner probably thinks he's about to have an Antiques Roadshow moment.
