Where Eagles Dare: Rare Style A Quad poster sells for a Bargain Price

According to a great deal of fans, the elusive style A UK Quad poster is arguably considered as one of the Holy Grails of Eastwood posters. Not many of us have it, most of us want it – and it rarely shows its face. 

On the rare occasions it does surface, it tends to reach a ridiculous price. In fact, the last one we remember was on 7th September 2023 when it fell under the Propstore Hammer price of a cool £2000. Yes, this was a linen backed example – but it served as a good indicator that this is still one of the most sort after of posters.

So, a few of us were a bit shocked to discover that one appeared (and almost immediately SOLD) today on the online auction site Ebay. So how did it pass unnoticed? Well, this seems to me as if the seller really didn’t have much of an idea what he really had – or at least aware of its true value? Instead, the seller decided to list it with a Buy Now price of just £229! Is it any wonder it was snapped up?

Below: Snapped up. The Rare poster picked up on Ebay today. 

While a great deal of us will be left sobbing into our pillows tonight, we can only hope that it went to a real fan – and not some leach dealer who is only looking to fatten up his profit margin. 

But hey, I’m not bitter. Well perhaps just a little (I jest).
