Help!  I have a chance to buy the original of this Belgian Elvis Jailhouse Rock poster (measuring 14 x 22") for $30.  It has a little corner damage, but it's all there.  What would one expect to possibly get for it?  I have no idea

This is quite a difficult poster to find. I checked all of Heritage Auction's and emovieposter's auction history catalogs, and did not find a single one of these sold. I found a few in online collection catalogs, but those did not have prices. In fact, the only price I could find is for a reprint of this poster for $35.00. Based upon that information, if you can 100% verify that the poster in question is original I'd snap it up for $30.00 in a heartbeat. Again, if you're positive it's original. As a collector, based upon the value of US Elvis movie posters in comparison to Belgian Elvis movie posters I'd very loosely guess that this poster would be valued in the $200–$500 range. But because of it's scarcity, on a really good day with just the right buyer, it might draw a lot more. At $30.00 I'd say you found an extremely good deal or a con artist.

If real, it is a good buy. But from your image I get the strong sense it may be a repro.

 

Best of luck!

Yes, the dimensions sound suspicious, as well the image looks like it was PhotoShopped to enhance colors, brighten, etc. I wish that sellers would show the "true" quality of an image, rather than trying to doctor it up to appear better than it is.

 

 I've yet to pay very high price for old movie posters, so hard to authenticate. I've seen old reprints that people have "washed" with coffee and other things to make them look older and more authentic. One poster had even had one corner burned... like an old pirate's treasure map! LOL
