Clockwork orange 1 sheet R rating(real or fake?)
« on: February 02, 2021, 06:21:50 PM »
Hi guys
I bought the attached poster on ebay from a seller on with thousands of 5* reviews. Seller insists its genuine but I'm unsure.

Some reasons I'm suspicious is the lack of sharpness of the G in the Union logo. I have put another poster below for comparison in 2nd photo. There's also some residue around other letters.

Can anyone comment please or even better post a picture of a copy they know to be genuine?

Much appreciated
Mike

I'm not sure.  I'd have to check mine but it's buried and I don't have the energy to get to it.  I think printing variations may occur from posters to posters.  Certainly this could be the case.  Is it 27x41in?  If it is, I think you're good.

Hey T. Many thanks for the comment. Poster is 27 x 41 but I'm still not convinced

Yeah for effort!!!

Because I'm so nice, and a little bored today, I went through a drawer and found both the X and the R.  I don't know if it helps, but it gives you a little more range.

Good effort finding them, T!

I have the R rated version and looking at the photo on my site, I think it’s the GAU version. I’ll try and find it this weekend. My flat file is disorganised though, so it may be a fruitless search.

No prob! Happy to help and glad it confirmed authenticity. It was in a sleeve with some other folded one sheets, so it was nice to go through them and look at some posters whilst looking for this one.
