Looking at our live eBay auction link tonight for Pre 1940 Movie Posters, we spotted the following listing:
“SON OF FRANKENSTEIN ’39 KARLOFF LUGOSI UNIVERSAL HORROR!
This is a RARE Original 14×36 Insert for the 1939 Universal Horror Classic SON OF FRANKENSTEIN starring Basil Rathbone as Baron Wolf von Frankenstein, Boris Karloff as The Frankenstein Monster, Bela Lugosi as Ygor, Lionel Atwill as Inspector Krogh, Josephine Hutchinson as Elsa von Frankenstein and Donnie Dunagan as Peter von Frankenstein! This is a GREAT UNIVERSAL HORROR INSERT with SUPER BRIGHT VIVID COLORS that is 65 YEARS OLD!”
With 20 hours left (as of this writing), no one has taken the plunge and put out the starting bid of US $19,999.99 – hmmmm, was it all the CAPITALS in the description (nah, it’s actually a nice looking poster in great condition) – or was that opening bid too intimidating? It’s kind of interesting after seeing what the “Bride of Frankenstein” lobby card went for this month….
Insightful comments would be welcome…
