I think its time for the forum to start bombing this guy... EBay probably won't do shit, but at least the complaints will be on the record for when Mel tracks down the buyers and warns them!

The onslaught must have worked.. the poster has been removed !

OK, I bet $20 BOTH of these Black Swan international one sheets go for more than $300. Who wants to take me on? (And yes I won't bid directly or indirectly on them.)

Thierry, where are you? I know you'll take this bet....

I hate these posters. I find them atrocious. But I know a lot of people like them, for whatever reason, so this is not a bet I will take. When I see an ESB poster worth $200 sell for $1k, I stop making bets.

Do you guys ever get the feeling there is money to be had with some of these posters. I could get a set of quads for like $100 and sell them on emovie for $1000 even at 40% that is a $500 profit...

We always want new consignors to add to our 800 present ones!

But bear in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future results!

The marx bros guys name is jason judd. He knows they are not real, and he doesn't care. He is a criminal. Sometimes sellers are really clueless and want to do the right thing so I generally give them the benefit of the doubt. That is NOT the case here.

here is one of the messages he sent:

"like I said not worried about the truth but I have a good feeling is that you dont even have a clue if this is real or not. Like i told you on last text I've been in contact with some one and if i find out thats its real im going to a different market. Just perhaps if it ever did turn out the posters are fake how much would the posters be worth."

so, if he finds out they are real he will remove them from ebay and try and get a better price elsewhere, probably an auction house. Funny thing is that I told him to contact Heritage, Bruce, LAMP, and MPGrading for their opinions, but he refuses.

He has two first names. That is reason enough not to trust him.

Maybe, but will it all end in tears of joy or sorrow?

just dont invest, buy em if you like, these things come and go. I would bet in 20 years black swan will be where it deserves in history (take that as you like). I dont like many of the classics, BAT, or SW, and many others, but BS, sorry cheesey but that was AWFUL, if thats a cult film when I am ready to retire, I'll eat 3 of my many hats.

Its not the film that will bring it longevity; the artistic elements will. Think about all the ballet nuts. The posters themselves are quite striking. Come up with another poster as striking as the advance with the white Natalie Portman that is not a long term winner. She won the academy award and her beautiful face is on the poster in a very artistic way. The two US one sheets tie in the story line itself (bet none of you guys thought about this); the advance is the white swan (before the film's release) and the review is the black swan (post release with reviews) just like the film. Then there are the La Boca graphics; again tell me another poster like these that ended up flopping after 20 years? This ain't no Titanic... If La Boca did a limited run of an Art Deco Titanic it would still be bringing in hundreds; think of the Schindler's List Art Deco 1-Sheet.

And personally I don't invest in posters (yet) haven't ever sold one. But Black Swan is for me.

Well the emovie money is at it again. I took two (good) shots at the French African Queen and it was like "Nope" then "Sorry". Man I need to get a second job or win the lottery... Maybe these guys are international buyers and taking advantage of the weak dollar?

T - looks like you missed your chance to make some extra money off Mel.

See Mel, not everyone likes to overpay for posters like you do.

Call me crazy, but I really like this poster! Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell are the artists. I think this is the french version from what I can see on IMPA. Would love to have one!

Does it actually exist? There was some discussion on this Rubber poster a few months back and I thought it had been rejected.

USMCSS · « **Reply #1122 on:** September 20, 2011, 02:26:54 PM »

Hey Jay,

I moved the post over to the Fantastic Film Posters - What strikes your fancy thread. Anyway, I think you might be right as I can not find it anywhere, only in reprint mini size.

Might be one of the ugliest posters ever. Brando looks like a sickly Joker!
