Further to my earlier post on the Movie Poster Auction that was recently held by Heritage Movie Poster Auctions:

“Heritage Movie Poster Auctions (HMPA) set a new world record in their most recent sale, when a Title Lobby Card from Universal Studio’s classic 1935 film, The Bride of Frankenstein, sold for $46,000.

“This is a new high water mark for lobby cards,” said Grey Smith, Director of HMPA. “Bride of Frankenstein is a legendary movie, considered by many to be the best of the classic Universal horror films, and paper from this title is extremely rare and highly desirable. I was confident that this card would perform well, but these results are far beyond what anyone could have expected.”

“We’re starting the process of claiming a Guinness World Record for this sale,” Smith continued. “To my knowledge, no other dealer in vintage posters holds such a record.”

The card was described as being in Very Fine condition and carried a pre-auction estimate of $12-15,000.”
