Actually, looks like it's the Fourth Printing.
Isn't mine a 4th print? It makes no mention of "one sheet - Style A"
Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
Shipping costs have SO hurt parts of this hobby.theartofmovieposters said:
I am loathe to throw out anything either, but sometime even after offering it up for free with no takers, you really have no alternative. Shipping costs out of Australia are just ridiculous which puts off alot of collectors.
It is simple math. There are many posters I used to sell to Europeans for $5 or $10. In 2000, shipping was $14, and if they bundled five posters into one package, they might pay $35 plus $14, or $49 for all 5, which was not so bad.
NOW, shipping for the very same package is often $45, so that same package is $81. People see that and quit bidding on those posters, and it is ENTIRELY the fault of shipping.
It is much worse for things like linenbacked French one-panels. The shipping has skyrocketed, due to adding the dimensions of the tube to the weight. Again, the shipping is ENTIRELY what is depressing the prices.
And sadly, it looks like shipping is only going to keep rising.

Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
For me a major issue is that I don’t trust the alleged limited print run #s.
Since these were created as commercial items and artificially made “scarce†(allegedly) from the beginning there just seems to be too many opportunities for an endless supply to actually exist - now that the “scarcity†is accepted amongst collectors who chase such things.
Maybe I am just being pessimistic but to me any product that is created with this end goal in mind just lends itself to corruption and manipulation (especially with the serious $ being thrown around in Bruce’s auction!)

Falcon01 said:Thanks for the comments. In regards to Frankenstein/Son of Dracula, I acquired it about 30 years ago from a store in Stanmore NSW, Be interested to know if anyone has any information on It as my search on the web has come up zero.
The store most likely being being Stars Rock And Movie posters at 188 Parramatta Road, Stanmore. Keith Hutchinson being the proprietor and there were at leasr three other locations Stars operated at over many years. It was a pleasure to visit the stores. Does anyone know what Keith is doing these days?
Eros Films reissued a lot of Universal horror films in the 1950s and early 1960s in the U.K.

Re: 12" x 19" posters need identification
Sorry I should have been more specific.
Above are just examples of these types of posters from NZ.
I find their sizing very inconsistent...not suggesting in any way they are all from the same printing or era.

Re: How is everyone doing?
I understand how tremendously blessed I am in general, so while I can certainly throw a doozy of a pity party over the handful of things going sideways, I'm way more fortunate than so many others. This too shall pass, and hopefully the lessons we need to learn from it will become clear.
Re: How is everyone doing?
It is Ves. Luckily, the government is going the extra mile to simulteously prevent the epidemic to grow while making sure the most vulnerable population can at least have two meals a day. If this had happened 6 months before, while there was other president in charge, it would have been an absolute catastophe.theartofmovieposters said:Same here. The footage of the people in lines seeking assistance is absolutely heart breaking.110x75 said:Hard times for unemployed and self-employed people down here though. Hope this gets sorted as soon as possible.

Re: How is everyone doing?
Well I'm still working full time, apparently we're now "key workers" as we store fuel, and pharmaceutical chemicals... Our company is so far behind what they should be doing it's unreal.. Not impressed is an understatement.
I was hoping just to be on call, as I have a total revamp of my poster room to do, and same with the garage... All the gaffas sat at home Skypeing each other and wanting to know what we're doing... F...kin' wankers.
