Rear Window Mexican Lobbies - Reproduction
« on: December 13, 2012, 02:01:10 PM »
Wondering how these are know to be repros?  Is it the size?

http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2802263

I checked mine and they are smaller (12.75 x 17 vs. 12.5 x 16.5).  Mine also don't have the Paramount above the Presenta and the color is much better on mine.  It scared me because the four listed, are all four I need to complete the set.  Hey maybe Posterazzi can contribute?  I know you guys despise Mexican lobbies but I think they are fun!

Here are Posterazzi's that I was considering.  They look a lot like the ones Bruce has up...

I have seen a lot of the repros, on many titles. All top titles, all with good inset images!

I was told these were done in the 1990s. I bet LOTS have been used to cheat people.

Not sure. I have the 2nd posterazzi image you listed (last image above). It has the paramount logo and I bought it from who I think is a reputable Mex Lobby card dealer on ebay - "carlocar" who described it as original.

I found one that Bruce sold w/o the Paramount logo and he described it as a R70s...  Interesting the all have the deep blue/black dot above the guys head on the left.  Posterazzi's and the Repro's don't.  Plus the borders are much wider on Bruce's...  I think you are ok Steve.  Not sure if they are all RR or just the Cinema International Corporation which was formed in the 70's to distribute internationally from Paramount.

Another mystery solved?  I guess I've been sporting RR Mexican Lobbies.  Man could it get any worse?

Oh man that made me LOL!  Just when you thought there were no steps below original Mexican lobbies in the poster collecting world...


PS: Hope you didn't get swindled too badly...
