By the way, I think pointing out suspect auctions is a perfect use for this thread...
I hope no one is planning on bidding on this
Thunderball quad on eBay...
For starters, it looks far too glossy. Also, if it truly measures 30x40, the this is printed differently than every other example I could find. Heritage has sold 3 and Christies has sold 19 (with images, actually much more than 19) and none match the poster on eBay. Here is an image from Heritage:
On the originals, the bottom line of text is almost all the way at the bottom (with the fine print text barely making it on the poster) and there is a disproportionately large amount of white space at the top. It looks like whoever made the repro centered the image vertically.
Buyer beware. I would also recommend sending the seller links to HA and Christies to let them know this looks suspect. It has already been bid up to $250. If the sale goes through I bet it gets close to a grand. As a Bond quad collector I have to say that all these fakes popping up on eBay is very disconcerting....
