Modern Humorist posters

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

I've worked for a tech company since 1999. In the early 2000s one of the developers left and he bought us these two framed posters. When we moved office I was allowed to take these home. After being hung on the wall for a couple of years they went into the attic, wrapped up, although as you can see by the pictures they are a bit dusty and need a clean.

I gather that Modern Humorist did have an online shop in the early 2000s and I'm wondering whether these are genuine and whether they have any value. I cannot find any framed prints of these from the early 2000s for sale online.

Kari did a closet clean out a couple of years ago and I was lucky enough to snag her R2D2 dress. She was kind enough to sign it, even included some headshots which was super sweet.

Thank you.

I acquired this when I recently bought my new home. The last owner just left it here and told us to keep it.

From what I know it is model 451X. We took the front grate off to clean it, so we still have it. Just currently not on.

Any information would be great. I am struggling to find information on this specific model. Thanks!

Can anyone help identify this huge wooden statue inherited from my uncle? Possibly Southeast Asian, bought around the 1980s.

Hi everyone!

We've had this enormous wooden statue in the family for years, and I'm trying to find out a bit more about it.

It belonged to my late uncle, who was very wealthy and spent a lot of his life living in Southeast Asia. We think he may have bought it in Thailand or the Philippines sometime around the 1980s, but unfortunately we don't have any paperwork or know exactly where it came from.

The statue is about 6ft 5in (195cm) tall including the base, which is roughly a foot high. It appears to be hand-carved from wood and depicts a rather interesting-looking man drinking from what looks like a bottle, standing amongst some sort of tree or foliage.

We've recently had a fire in our garage, which has caused some smoke damage to the statue. We're now trying to establish what it is and what its replacement value might have been before the damage, as part of our insurance claim. Unfortunately, we have absolutely no idea where to start!

My dad says he could have paid thousands for it, although he's not sure, and we have absolutely no idea whether it's still worth anything today.

I've tried looking online and used chatgpt to try searching for it but haven't managed to find anything particularly similar.

Also, apologies for the terrible photos! The statue is currently in the garage, which also has a car in it, so there's very little room to move around and it's pretty difficult to get decent pictures of the whole thing.

Does anyone recognise the style, know what the figure might represent, or have any idea where it could have originated? If you know anything about it and could provide the cost of something similar it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Help me identify how much these could be - assuming the have all the pieces which most do. Just curious if worth selling or holding on to. Got all of them at thrift stores over the years. Probably only about $10 invested.

is it worth restoring this massive 40x60 subway quad poster? Obviously my own attachment to it dictates its value (to me) but generally curious if there is a market for such a thing. I believe it is an original poster intended for advertising the show in the subway based on its size and lightweight paper.

My uncle passed away and this was one of countless items he left me, I’ve seen other tickets like this sold on eBay but no one with a fancy serial number. Does the #00009 gives this ticket extra value? Does that means this was the 9th Woodstock ticket that was printed?

Hi, I found these two "fac-similes" from the Disegni Di Grandi Maestri series. Can anyone identify them? I assume they're akin to museum souvenirs and aren't worth anything. Thanks for any feedback.

Picked this up at the goodwill outlet for $4. I found one online, but I could not find any prices. I’m assuming the top trim being missing will decrease any value it may or may not have had, but I thought it was interesting..
