Last week an incredibly rarely
seen poster made its way onto the auction market, and for a great deal of the
week maintained its original opening price of £50.00. The poster, the 20”x30”
UK Double Crown was based here in the United Kingdom. The poster featured a United
Artists double bill showing of You Only Live Twice / A Fistful of Dollars. However,
the auction shot up in price during the final seconds this evening and finished
at a crunching £246.00 ($315.43). The poster’s price is probably reflective of
the two very popular franchises featured. Doubling up the Dollar trilogy
alongside the 007 Bond series obviously draws in two different sets of fans and
once battle commences, the price was only going to go one way.
Because of its rarity, we have
never had the opportunity to feature this poster here on the Archive, until
now. The actual poster did show some signs of wear and tear along with some pin
holes. Nevertheless, I have attempted to clean it up to some degree for display
purposes.
