Does anyone know if 
Member id alvario33 
on Ebay is legit...

They've sold about a dozen Back to the Future and Jaws Daybills in the last few months... are these things fake or did they just happen to have a stash?

There are very, very few fake (reproduction) daybills out there.  Back to the Future and Jaws daybills are by no means scarce at all so likely the seller (like MANY others) just has stacks of them...

Just had a look at his auctions.  Judging by the pics these are legit.

BUT if you are patient these can be found much cheaper

Any idea why the numbers are so small, Chris?

No profit to be made in creating reproductions I suppose - # of collectors of daybills vs. most other post formats is minimal at best.

And really let's not ask the question lest the situation change!!   :-X

A friend of mine recently made some daybills as a giveaway with ant shirt he made, fully licences for WOLF CREEK, the paper stock was actually difficult to get and it is still not spot on. And this was to look like an 80s daybill, to make repro hand litho daybills and get them to look legit would not be easy, or not as easy as going to kinkos at least.

Only real info from the above is don't buy a wolf creek daybill and think it's from a theatre, though they are probably "rarer" than if there really was such a poster.

There was years back a bloke who did colour laser copies of daybills, in sections, stuck together and I think sold under glass, or maybe even had some backed. Touching them is a giveaway, but from a photo difficult, ACTUALLY I think he only tried to use them in trades, oh shit I am rambling.

Some were laminated and I kinda like them as they are full sized reproductions of rare daybills, and good for reference if nothing else (though I'd put them on my wall)

Why is Bradburied listed as (The Bad?)

I just purchased a R97 It's a Wonderful Life OS from them on Ebay this evening and I just saw this.. now I'm worried.

That said, I'm sure your IAWL is the real deal if it's 41".  Those are very common.

Grrrrrrrrrreeeeat......

It's listed at 27 x 40.... well, I'll see what shows up in the mail. Thanks for the info Mel, I guess we learn with mistakes sometimes... Moments after buying it, I found this one- which I prefer:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/251525452803?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649

Wouldn't a 1997 release poster be 27x40?

I thought it sounded right for the time...
Although, I can't find any information on the internet about a 1997 re-release of IAWL. The seller claims the posters were limited to 5,000... I'm wondering if it was a video store poster?

I'm thinking of the 1990rr, which Kilian Enterprises printed as a commercial re-release. It is 27x41

O.K. Another one to add to the list...

woodpinela     

                       And his address is Pinewood studios...  So you would have thought he was O.K. However
He had Photoshopped a poster I bought, it looked great on the pic, but the poster looked like a completely
different one when it turned up.
I filed a case against him and was paid back straight away, most likely as I'd mentioned to ebay about the doctored photo.   

This is the second Photoshopped listing this month I've bid on, must be more vigilant in looking before one bids...  eyeroll
It's more than a Hobby...

Sorry to read this Paul. It is difficult to spot a photoshopped pic of a poster.

Glad u got your money back.☺

It arrived and it's in PERFECT shape and looks to be the real deal- BUT he posted that it would look like this:


but this is what arrived:


I feel like he misrepresented the auction... but I'm not terribly disappointed. Unprofessional IMHO.

Oh man, Brian.. talk about ordering a tangerine and getting sent an orange. Close, but no cigar, as they say.  I know I'd be annoyed. moron1

Does the poster that arrived measure 27x40?

Did you send him a message asking why you received a different poster from the one advertised and shown in his auction page?

I found another, like the one you got, listed for sale.. does yours look to have the same numbers and markings on the lower right border corner as this one? And what is printed on the lower left corner of yours?
