star wars pre oscars quad
« on: May 03, 2017, 07:11:34 AM »
anyone seen one of these?

from the photo it looked good, but the seller says its a reprint, i have asked for some information to help distinguish it from the original.
This seller sells some very high priced posters, so i think they know what they are talking about.
I am worried this will come back around as an original!

My memory is hazy, but was there a seller selling these and NOES quads on ebay and they had more than 10 of each?

The NOES had an easy tell (the cropping on Freddie's hat), but I don't think the photos of SW were good enough for an easy tell. Hopefully the paper would make it obvious, but that photo does make it look quite 'realistic'. Buyer beware on these I think.

the seller came back and said the print was not as sharp as the original, however it doesn't look trimmed, so will be hard to tell without a side by side comparison

I've had problems with this guy before, check the Bad sellers list, he's a right conman..

Saw this earlier on eBay. Nearly pulled the trigger but glad I didn't after Paul's comment.

Fingers crossed it turns out OK for you OP.

Did you buy it?

How did he try to burn you on some of your posters?

"Poster measures 30 x 40 inches. This is not an original, I was told it was a later studio issue reprint..It looks great though"

100% BS. I think he knows very well it's a modern worthless copy, folded to look like it's old, to suck in someone who may think that the seller doesn't know what they've got.
