I've been doing a little research on the forums. It appears as though some members were selling items they did not actually have in hand, but had access to. I wonder if this is why some of you guys think I am the same because of the lack of images I have, or have not, posted on this forum (bearing in mind I have images on other forums and my website)  Anyway, I have just said this to Paul aka originalcinemaposters, and thought it only right I say it to all you guys on here who are like him: Get yourselves over to the Bond forums and start spreading the same stuff you do on here ... See how far it gets you ... Have any of you seriously got the balls to do it? ... I bet not ... Wonkabars has just done it and immediately got shot down by a stalwart of one of the forums ... And don't start with your ridiculous ranting about images - I'm tired of it - if you really want to interact with people who can vouch for me, then kick off on the Bond forums and see what happens. |

Here comes Adz with yet more pathetic and bizarre excuses for refusing to publish pictures of the poster he supposedly has for sale. Any normal person would take out a camera, take a picture, and post it to quell the controversy. Adz, your credibility used to be 0 on the Celcius scale. Now it's 0 on the Kelvin scale. P.S. I put this same post on one of the Bond forums. Anybody "vouching" for you is utterly meaningless. |

The problem with this ADZ character is that his credibility in the poster collecting world is SO DEAD that even if he showed me, say 5 Bond posters in his collection, I couldn't help but think that he went to a local store and took pictures of posters at the store.
For anyone who wants to know what the big drama is all about, and for anyone who may think we are a little too harsh on this sensitive soul, let me give you a quick recap. About a couple years ago, a little boy named Adam blasted on another forum that he had acquired not one, but multiple Bond collections, and was now the proud owner of one of the largest Bond collections in the world. Cool. Nothing really out of this world, there are many poster collectors on the planet, and here was one who specialized on Bond. Naturally, we asked him to show us a little bit of his collection. Not all of it, but 5-10 posters would do it. The answer to our request was that he didn't have time, he was extremely busy with classes and other things, and could not spend 10 minutes photographing his posters. Many people have asked him the same question over the past two years, and the answer has always been the same. Now, most collectors would normally not care about it, but when a member of this small community blasts that he owns one of the greatest collections on a specific subject, it raises eyebrows. It is a classic story of an attention deprived little boy who tried to pump himself up through lies, got caught and was not smart enough to apologize for his deception. Thus the lies became bigger and bigger, and the little boy lost face.
Two years later, Adam is a joke amongst forum members, a toy to some, a bouffon to others, but ultimately a VERY SAD STORY.

And why purposely post them in one place and not another. If you already have the images it would just be so simple...
Rich, that little word bubble actually made me laugh out loud (yes, it was so good I didn't feel LOL would suffice)

Mel, this is not a Bond poster in the classic sense of the term. I don't believe Adam owns it, but whether he does or not, this little art print IS NOT what I want to see. But again, I really don't care at this point because we ALL now know the TRUTH: there are NO posters!!!

I agree - he's certainly not off the hook with respect to the rest of his illusory collection. That aside, I'd be curious what this "art print" would auction for. The much-more-common gold version sold on Heritage for $1,300 five months ago. |

So Adz,
let me get this straight.....
you want me to sign up with another forum to ask the same questions i have been asking here and on MPF?
Then your friends/alter egos/stooges will then back you up and say what a great guy you are?
Its not about "having the balls" I just dont see the point, what is it going to prove?
Does it prove you have a huge collection of posters... NO!
Yet again, you are trying to deflect from the statement you make soooooo boldly on your bondposters.com website... as below
"Housing one of the largest, private James Bond poster collections in the world, Bondposters.com strives to bring together an understanding and appreciation of James Bond movie poster advertising and design from around the globe. "
one picture of an Alamo poster does not make a collection my friend.
you are a Walter Mitty character... here is a extract from the wikipedia entry
"The character's name has come into more general use to refer to an ineffectual dreamer, appearing in several dictionaries.[1] The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Walter Mitty as "an ordinary, often ineffectual person who indulges in fantastic daydreams of personal triumphs"
In my words however, you are at best a joker, who has still yet to come up with anything of substance.
On the positive side, you have given me plenty of laughs with your increasingly bizzare claims

I have to chime in on this topic. A logical person could conclude that the quote on his website, "Housing one of the largest, private James Bond poster collections in the world, Bondposters.com strives to bring together an understanding and appreciation of James Bond movie poster advertising and design from around the globe" - could imply that Adz does not personally own any of the posters, rather the website has pictures of, basically, a lot of original Bond posters. I have not scoured the internet for websites that document original Bond posters, but it seems as though his website does have a very comprehensive list of original Bond posters. The refusal of Adz to simply answer the question posed by Mel recently, and most likely others in the past (possibly on other forums as well  ), that is "what posters do you own", provides further evidence that he is, in fact, not lying about what he owns. Instead, he is just doing all sorts of other things to divert attention to other matters, the latest being his looking to a "Bond forum", to have people "vouch" for him, rather than just answering the questions himself. The issue about the red variant Alamo Drafthouse Goldfinger poster is presented, and in a very bizarre way. He claims to own one, but photoshops the signature and edition number in his personal picture? And he posts it on a website of which he just became a member, instead of various other forums, where he has been a member for months, and years.(?) Who knows what his reasons are for avoiding the extremely simple requests to list the posters he owns, or post some pictures of the posters that he owns. It would almost be like me starting a website that claims to "house the largest collection of the fastest Camaros in the world", and going on various forums, refusing to answer the question of what Camaros I do, in fact, own, then taking (or getting) a picture of some incredibly rare Camaro, and photoshopping the VIN number. Just does not make sense. The excuses of "getting it done right the first time" (referring to taking a good picture), and "having a lot of other work to do" (hence not having time to take a good picture) are perfectly good excuses for a lot of people - for a couple days, weeks, maybe even a couple months. A little advice, for all those who are waiting to see the list of posters that Adz owns, see photographs of the actual posters that he owns (since so much time has past under such bizarre circumstances, when he does post photographs of posters he claims to own, there are serious doubts as to whether or not they are actually his posters), it would be most likely be in your best interest to invest time in something else. And for those of you still waiting for the answers to these extremely mysterious, and difficult questions, here is a good song for inspiration.  |

Neo,
you could read it that way re the largest private collection.
But Adz has made claim after claim prior to setting up this new website that he owns one of the worlds best collections.
interesting all his pcitures are watermarked with his logo, so he can ensure people dont steal them. This is very strange since none of them are his in the first place.
I offered a lot of poster pics for his site initially, but he refused as he didnt want my watermark on the poster. (I have had issues with people borrowing my photos for ebay ads and even other sites.)
I have scoured his Bondposters site and cant see any contirbutions from himself, lots of photos from 007 magazine and other sites.
Basically Adz has been wanking on and on about his collection and now his site, kissing the arse of anybody in the attempt to gain friend (that way they can say, i know Adz, he's a nice guy)
maybe the collection does exist maybe it doesn't just stop selling yourself as the self styled expert/svengali of the Bond poster niche.....
The problem is over time, newbies will come to this hobby and may actually belive Adz to be the foremost authority on bond posters... that woud be too much to take....

The "About Us" section of his companion site moviememories.com continues to display the following: Flashforward to 2009 and Adz931's collecting has swayed considerably towards James Bond. Over the years collecting and surrounding himself with all things 007 has become more of a way of life than a hobby; mainly due to one certain individual, who shall remain nameless, but they know who they are!
This James Bond love affair, ultimately, has culminated in Adz931 being the owner of one of the world's largest, private collections of James Bond movie posters. IF he actually owns the red Goldfinger, it wouldn't surprise me if he used his deceptive - and laughably egomaniacal - website "creds" to pull some sort of "snow job" on the seller to convince him to sell it to him cheap or give it to him. Maybe that's why he's avoiding the movie poster forums to sell. However, I agree that most likely he's selling it for someone else, who wishes to remain anonymous, hence the cut-off photos. |

It is rather odd that a person would take a picture that belongs to someone else, and put his or her watermark on it. The "About Us" section of his companion site moviememories.com continues to display the following: This James Bond love affair, ultimately, has culminated in Adz931 being the owner of one of the world's largest, private collections of James Bond movie posters. [/i] Adz claiming to be the "owner of one of the world's largest, private collections of James Bond movie posters" would imply to most people that he does, in fact, own the posters, but he may also be stating that he does, in fact, own the photographs of all those posters (that most people would call a collection of photographs), which he most likely has not received permission from every person for every photograph to use each photograph, and place his watermark on each. Placing a watermark on all of those images implies that he owns the copyrights to those photographs, when, in reality, he most likely does not own the copyrights to all of those photographs. I will conclude my analysis of trying to determine the truth regarding this matter with a couple of de-motivational posters, and let someone else try to make sense of this wild goose chase.   |

Get yourselves over to the Bond forums and start spreading the same stuff you do on here ...
See how far it gets you ...
Have any of you seriously got the balls to do it? ... I bet not ...
I live in fear of posting on James Bond message boards. It is something that I have been trying cope with for many years now. It has brought me much shame   This is just one reason I can say that I really can relate and do understand your fear of Bond poster photography. |

Case in point... This is an exchange between Paul and ADZ on another forum and it really made me LAUGH.
Paul, I'm sick of this, so get yourself over to the Bond forums and start spreading all your crap ...
See how far it gets you on those ...
Have you got the balls to do it? ... I bet not ...
Wonkabars has just done it and immediately got shot down by a stalwart of one of the forums ...
Why go to another forum when this could easily be settled with some photo's of your collection.
this is already active on two forums, and wht i should raise it on another is beyond me!
Paul,
It was Wonkabars who hijacked my thread on the Bond forum.
And Mel, from APF, has since done the same on a different Bond forum, using some clever wording.
It is disappointing that you have in the past gone out of your way to vilify me; still do to a certain degree.
And for what? Because I didn't take pictures of my whole collection?
I'm tired of explaining things to you people.
I work seven days a week and rarely get any spare time.
This has gone too far.
you dont have any time, but you want me to join up to a forum and ask you the question again regarding your posters?
You are a nut job Adz
Excuse me?
I didn't ask you to join any forum.
I am not a nut job, thank you.
I resent that very much.
I've had enough of this now.
