Well, I bet Shorty (a.k.a. Joe), has seen it.

It's the Blackhawk "Battle of the Century" Super 8mm 400ft version sound. It's at an astounding 405.00 dollars just a few minutes ago, and I'm wondering just how much higher it'll go?!

I mean, a print of "Thunderball" went for 375.00 dollars, (I think) and yet this one reel release is so high?!!

Looks like Shorty won it. I know it is rare, but it is not worth THAT much.

To Shorty ... it is.

Hey Joe, if you are the person who won that 400ft print of "Battle of the Century" ... I know that you usually don't do reviews, but could you do a review of it for us? I wouls certianly appreciate it!

BRATS

FOUL! There is no way someone was willing to pay this much for the print. This is not a rare title. This should have gone for $20 - $30 -- tops.

I agree, I paid 18.95 for my Super 8mm sound edition.

The strange thing, is that I have an earlier silent print of this title, (it appears to be a very early super 8) and the image quality is visually a lot better, though silent, so I've kept it.
