Author Topic: Fake Movie Poster Sellers Hall of Shame on MPC (Read 44496 times)

I set up a new "Fake Movie Poster Sellers Hall of Shame" section on MoviePosterCollectors.com to take on some of the miscreants in the hobby. Fortunately, various sections of MPC have been rising to the top of the Google rankings for many movie-poster-related searches, so I'm hoping this will get more notice than the complaints in the forums. You can send a link to the Shame section to any victim of any of these sellers:

First up is Tom Loce. Others (MovieBads, etc.) are coming down the pipeline. Any constructive feedback is appreciated.

Good on you.

Good thing you're a lawyer Mel (for when those inevitable lawsuits or threats of lawsuits start coming)

But I do commend your intention here!

Me with my editors hat on, on the mviegoods page it says:

"Collectors always to buy originals. "

maybe it makes sense to you danged Americanos but this little Aussie thinks not

Yo Mel... Doesn't TLOCEPOSTERS have multiple Ebay accounts?

Isn't he bradburied as well? He always seems to have 2 of the same poster no matter how many he sells.

Ari · « **Reply #9 on:** April 22, 2012, 09:36:23 PM »

no he isnt bradburied, they are friends. theres also ed richter (spelling?) cant remember his ebay ID. there was/is 4 of them called the famous four, who have similar stock.

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #10 on:** April 22, 2012, 10:03:02 PM »

OK, I made minor corrections to the existing pages. Next up is Bradburied.

You should try and get ALL their signatures on the Prof. Powers Blade Runner insert!

Other than the Star Wars posters, what other fakes does BradBuried sell? I think he's changed his Star Wars listings to clearly state that they "may" be illegal posters:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-WARS-ONE-SHEET-ROLLED-STYLE-C-MOVIE-POSTER-1977-/230772755945

ROLLED near mint-mint unused one sheet movie poster, 27"x41", of STAR WARS STYLE C 1977. Some dealers think this is an illegally printed edition from the original plates (along with some Style A and Advance B).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-WARS-ROLLED-STYLE-MOVIE-POSTER-1977-/310392741528

ROLLED near mint-mint unused one sheet movie poster, 27"x41", of STAR WARS STYLE A 1977. NSS number 77/21/-0. This is the edition that has the so called hair on Luke's belt. Some dealers think this is an illegally printed edition from the original plates (along with some Style C and Advance B). Nobody seems to know for sure as it has been around for over 25+ years. Sold cheaply as is, mint condition, exact origin unknown but a beautiful piece.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-WARS-ADVANCE-ROLLED-STYLE-B-MOVIE-POSTER-1977-/310392741471

ROLLED near mint-mint unused one sheet movie poster, 27"x41", of STAR WARS ADVANCE STYLE B 1977. This is the version that DOES NOT have the GAU lable on it. Some dealers think this is an illegally printed edition from the original plates (along with some Style A and C). Nobody seems to know for sure as it has been around for over 25+ years. Sold cheaply as is, mint condition, exact origin unknown but a beautiful piece.

I don't know, I will not buy from him.

The fact that those Star Wars are known fakes that he is selling for $100+ makes him not be trusted at all (He calls those fakes cheap?)... He could say his posters are genuine, but send you a fake instead.

brude · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2012, 11:40:09 PM »

I thought bradburied and tloce were one and the same, using same pics, etc.
Has anyone bought from bradburied recently and confirmed the return address as different?

Ari · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2012, 11:48:09 PM »

nah, just buddies.

If they were printed off the original plates then they're not fakes. Restrikes maybe, but not fakes.

Well you do have an argument there on the proper terminology. But really it all comes down to how they are presented in the sale...

Well I agree on that terminology, but I perceive an illegally printed edition from the original plates as something not truly original.

In my mind they are very good fake counterfeit posters.

He seems to be disclosing the facts??

I'm not sure illegal is right either. Unauthorised is probably more correct.

Wouldn't unauthorized be an illegal act by company standards?

Yep - I was not insinuating he wasn't.

And I agree again about the change in terminology to "unauthorised"
