have you been gagged by HA for writing such bollocks?
#1 still waiting for your opinion of probable evidence of fold marks being in the print
#2 wtf is this supposed to mean? you held it so you must be correct?? LOL
#3 thats good. please share this information
#4 all good. i'd imagine all auction houses do this? anyway this is about the poster, not HA
still waiting for different fonts/numerous image differences evidence
wow.. not ignorant much are you.
first of all, I'm not surprised that when I go away for a week or two that some mewling bitch starts braying like a jackass. I mean, you would think even a moron would be able to check the member data and see if they even visited the site in weeks (in my case, due to being away at first, busy in return at second). Then again, you've showed your ass side before, ergo, why it doesn't surprise me you show it again.
as to whether HA asks me to post or not post: No one at Heritage has ever asked me to post anything and certainly didn't ask me to discuss this poster. As a matter of fact, the braying jackass asked the question. He just doesn't like the answer and continues to hee-haw. I post what I want, at my own wish.
to the poster, as I said previously, I've actually handled this poster, having had one (yay HA for selling it at 12k. yay!), and there was no question it was a vintage poster. Moreover, there are numerous inconsistencies with the description at EMP.
Note that this is a very unusual poster. It appears to be a 1949 re-release Casablanca one-sheet, because it has all the correct NSS information at the bottom, but it is not. The 1949 re-release is two-color (red and black), while this poster is one-color (brown). We have sold this poster in the past, and did not know exactly what it was, but we correctly guessed that is from the 1970s (it is printed on paper consistent with one-sheets from that period, and it was folded like a one-sheet (although of course this example has been linenbacked). WE NOW KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THE POSTER! It was printed for a Bogart film festival in the 1970s. The festival organizers could not afford full-color posters, so they used a 1949 re-release poster and had it photographed and reprinted. So please bid on this poster knowing it is a 1970s film festival poster that reproduces the 1949 re-release one-sheet.
first of all, they have sold this poster in the past according to the note, but the poster they sold previously
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/532593.htmlhad originally been described as a military poster, prior to EMP once again 'changing history' and editing the description.
secondly, the poster above was a folded poster, not on linen.
so how are the two posters the same? are there reproduced fold lines that do not match the actual fold lines?
Next, to anyone who has an eye, it is absolutely NOT a reproduction of a 1949 tri-color poster. The art is not exactly the same, the fonts are not all the same, the color blocks are not the same
the posters are not the same. it is absolutely not a reproduction of the 1949 poster
furthermore, what evidence is there that this poster is a film festival as they now say? I'd love to hear the evidence, but I doubt it is forthcoming.
not surprising, HA at one point also sold this poster as military, probably using the available database and not realizing that NSS never did military distribution, as the government had it's own distribution system. It took some other discovery to realize this was an international poster.
For note: international posters of the 1940s were not usually full color and a key factor is that NSS did not stamp the back of international posters. I have seen other examples of such posters, but can't find any that have been sold in auction easily, so I can't direct anyone to a listing offhand.
this poster is a 1949R international and people don't have to believe anything they don't want to, because that is a personal choice, but it is clear, more 'professionals' than not have the opinion it is what I say. I'll trust the professionals (including myself).
