This catalog contains many great images of posters from those two auctions including "Gulliver's Travels", "Fantasia", "Out of the Past", "Debtor to the Law" and many more! Note that this catalog is two sided (they would print a cover on each side, and half the book would be printed upside-down from the other, so that both auctions would receive equal prominence!). The other part of the auction was animation art and posters (much less than half). Also, in addition to the catalog auction, there was an auction that had a simple printed list with no images and that supplement is included with this catalog. Important Added Info: Note that this catalog includes a faxed copy of the prices realized from the auction! Note that this auction catalog comes from Bruce Hershenson's personal collection! When he returned to the movie poster hobby in 1984 (after an absence of several years), he primarily purchased posters from public auctions (until 1989, when he became a full-time movie poster dealer). He saved all the auction catalogs from the auctions he participated in, and would often purchase two catalogs, so that he would have one to make notes in, and one to keep in excellent condition! In 1990, he organized the first Christie's auction, and for the next 10 years he attempted to acquire EVERY auction catalog he could. After 2000, there were so many movie poster auctions (and the items being auctioned were mostly repeats from earlier years) that Bruce stopped trying to get every catalog, so his collection of catalogs mostly stopped at the end of 2000. In addition, he purchased additional catalogs he was missing from his collection from other collectors. Now he is auctioning all of the 238 different auction catalogs, each in its own auction. Most of them are either from all-movie poster auctions, or are from auctions that included some movie posters, but some are from non-movie poster auctions (but this is always noted in the auction description). Finally, note that some of the catalogs offered have the notes or prices realized that Bruce or another collector wrote in, but because that is the only copy Bruce could find, it is included in this set of auctions. These auction catalogs run from 1970 to 2000, and constitute a near complete history of the movie poster hobby at auction, and many would be extremely difficult to find for sale at any price, but this is a rare opportunity to purchase any of these 238 auction catalogs! Condition: good to very good. Many of the prices the items sold for were written in pen under each lot. Learn More about condition grades
