Hi Michelle,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The 1991 film “Joey Takes a Cab” was directed by Albert Band and starred Lionel Stander. According to an IMDB plot description, it centers on the circle of friends and colleagues of a comedian named Joey who literally dies during his act, and the story unfolds with his friends and associates reflecting on his life in a mix of comedy and pathos. It's generally not considered a culturally significant or influential movie in the way major Hollywood films are.

Original film reels and production notes can widely vary in value depending on which film, whether they are signed or annotated by the director, producer(s) and/or actors; also a critical determinant to value is if the notes etc are complete.

It's fairly safe to say that this is a B-level movie. I can find no example of a B-level film reel and/or production notes that have exceeded $500 in value when sold at auction; it's more likely this would bring about half that.

If we assume this group of reels and production notes are complete, this has a fair market value of $200-300; it would be worth less if there are missing elements.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
