As I mentioned in the Unicorn thread, I had finally found a rolled copy of DEADY SPAWN, a poster I have wanted for a long time. I won the auction and -- after two weeks of waiting without receiving the poster -- a second one, from another seller appeared on Ebay. This second poster was folded and I decided to bid on it as insurance in case the rolled one that I had won was lost in the mail. The folded poster arrived last week and the rolled one arrived today.
The folded original measures 25x39, while the rolled 'reprint' version is 22 1/2 x 35 1/2, quite a bit smaller. The paper is different, the image is cropped, the colors are different and the 21st Century logo is not as clear on the reprint. I took pics, the first being the folded original, the second being the rolled reprint placed over the original to show the size difference.
Now, I wouldn't normally make this kind of a post too hastily. I would prefer to take it up with the dealer first, but since the seller that I bought the rolled reprint from has another DEADLY SPAWN ending in 15 hours, I wanted to make sure that all APF members interested in this poster save their money for the real deal.
I will update when I hear back from the seller.
Here is the link to his post:
