I'm not talking current auctions, just gear that has appeared in the last few years that haven't surfaced in a while.
For example these 3 in the last 2 years and I've also seen one at my local poster shop and another on a well known website recently. That's 5 in two years. Before that, zilch.
But it doesn't always follow that the one you want will appear in any sort of numbers in the future. Is it better to wait until they start coming out of the woodwork (and there is NO guarantee that will happen) or buy when you want to/can afford to?
I think a lot of cinemas ordered five daybills at a time. I've certainly found them in lots like that on plenty of occasions. They probably had one or two out front, one or two in the lobby plus a spare.
Once finds like that turn up the values plummet.
Halloween daybills are always described as "super rare" but there are tons about, and plenty on ebay lately.
I know of another Prince & Showgirl daybill for sale.
Old one sheets seem a pretty safe bet. That's if you can ever find them for good titles. Certainly rare for Aust stuff. Not much chance of 5 x Prince & Showgirl one sheets turning up anytime!
Yup, seen that Rita a few times and a very sweet one to see. :x
Indeed it is.
One wonder if the price goes down on some of the lesser sought after items because the buyers have been fulfulled. The guy who kept bidding until he won it at all costs last week doesn't need another, so the price goes down?

Basic market principles David
And it can be the same for "more desirable" items. Every time one is sold, there is one less person driving up the demand and competition
New people come in but few aspire to the level of collecting Uni Horror daybills. Most just pick up titles they remember from their youth or that have some other nostalgic value.
There is more awareness, but I don't think the hobby itself is expanding through an influx of serious collectors. Could be wrong though.

Cowboy RR, not so rare anymore. Same as GWTW.
This post could be titled: Previously rare!
In all the years you been collecting and dealing posters how many GWTW daybills have passed through you're hands Mark? How many collectors do you know of that has one? Heritage has only auctioned 3 copies, JR has auctioned one on ebay a few years back and emovie has never auctioned one before. I believe its a rare piece 100%.

Safe? Almost every Aussie collector knows that daybills of significance are more sought after and collectable than their One sheet counterparts.
On the other hand 1SHs were printed in far lesser quantities.
This is true. That being said daybills are a easier sell, no brainer! The only Aussie One sheets that sell easy and for good prices are the Orange Mad max and The Godfather..
Too simplistic Chris, that is suggesting there are no new collectors coming into the game and on that basis the hobby should have died years ago.
I'm with Chris on this one. New collectors are coming into the game permanently, but probably not a lot of them want a Rita Hayworth stock poster (because they're losers ). Something like the argentinean "Endless summer" is more appealing to those new collectors, so the price on that one keeps strong. I've seen at least 10 of those sell in recent time, none for less than $250

Several more sold on ebay (someone here got one last week!)
Plus, several more sold on ebay too
Plus another sold by HA, one currently at auction and again, several sold through ebay
