Haven't really looked into those yet, they sold another one yesterday. Feeling a bit skeptical on them initially though.

Me too... the seller's eBay profile is:

ww2germanphoto (544)
Positive Feedback (last 12 months): 100%
Member since: 29-Nov-08 in Ukraine

But the listing showed Zurich, Switzerland as the item location. Sales are all 'private' as well.

They just don't look like Jung's work to me. Not too hard for a talented artist to produce these on a batch of old paper stock. Also, I don't think Jung's drawing paper would have aged so badly!

I agree.
Though intrigued, I'm too skeptical. I need to feel comfortable with it if I'm dropping that kind money.

And the seller gives no backstory of how he acquired (so many of) them or the provenance of the pieces.

Appears a little questionable to me, too, since that very important info is lacking. They could be legit, but for me, much more info would be needed (and helpful).

This one just ended. Pretty good result.

It always amazes me to see people bid and overbid each other to no end, so much wasted time, when someone who hasn't bid at all just swipes it in the end

Yup, me too.

The feeling of still being 'in the game' must be overwhelming.

Back in the day when bidders of the same item could still get in touch with each other on eBay, one such character was most put out by my doing just that. And he said;

'Well you 'expletive'. I hope you enjoy your poster, you snipping (sic) 'expletive'.'

Oh dear.

Ah yes... back in the good, old, ebay days, right Simon?

Oh yeah? Or did you mean not an official MP?

Okay, fine, not official movie posters. I still bought them, though, because they're numbered (essential) and kinda cool.

Nope. I think it's awful and I won't be buying from this gallery anymore. They are REALLY bad at printing stuff. They recently did a Back to the Future print. It is awful. Their Stout Age of Ultron is terrible. Their recent Labyrinth variant is bad, bad, bad... you can't even read the credits. No wonder things go unsold for months.

Thanks for the free publicity, Mel. From my website to my forum. How convenient. Unfortunately, it's never what you have, it's what you don't have that really matters, and I'm still missing 45 pieces

Just checked Emovie's auction for tomorrow and I'm always dumbfounded to see printer's test posters sell for so much. This is probably at the top of the things I do not get about this hobby. Why would anyone need a printer's test? What is the point? Just because it came before the final poster? When does it end? What if someone sold the ink the poster was printed with? Would that sell too?

It's like people who try to get low numbers on prints. Don't understand that either. What if someone turned the pile around and started from the bottom?

Seller did not give any details about how/when sigs occurred.

I KNOW most of "y'all" think this is fake but just hush yo' mouth for a moment:

Seller surprisingly responded quickly to yahoo like me, but was evasive....
