Good catch on the 'remastered' bit.

However, I remember reading somewhere that some theaters just used reprints of the original. Maybe it's the altered one that says remastered or not.

Did anybody try to contact this seller? S/he has sold a few Bond items recently, including a couple of reprints.  Anyway, sent a message, perhaps will get a response:

Mel – pls read further up the thread. I contacted seller twice about their auctions, and actually tried again after auction finished – got a reply the first time, but not the other 2 times. Hope you have more success.
Amazingly rolled original Goldfinger quads do exist, but this one is described as folded anyway.
The Stafford & Co text is on reprints too.
The Diamonds Are Forever was completely mis-described, which made me wonder how good the seller was at identifying originals…
The seller’s latest auctions were private listings - doesn’t that mean item titles will not be shown in feedback?

The Quad Of Goldfinger Jeff posted is the real deal, how ever the one that looks rolled is most definitely a repro, just take a look at the Sprayed on finish to the ink and how it is crumpled on the corners.....  eyeroll

What is your take on the Thunderball I posted Paul?

It's a bad pic to see fully Harry, but it's not overly shiny though the fact there's hardly any white left at the top above Connery's head is a down side, mine has a fair amount of white at the top, maybe too much... ;)

If I was thinking of shelling out big money for a poster, I would give that one a miss. A good one will turn up, it's all a waiting game for the right poster at the right price... as you know Harry.... ;)

Well, more pointedly... do you think that Thunderball is a reprint?  Do you know of full size (30x40) bootlegs of this poster?

off the top of my head Harry, no. I know there is a smaller repro of it, but I can't recall a 30X40. Others may know better, where's Adam when you want him...

I'm no bond expert but I have seen a real Thunderball  up close at a Christies preview and the background is a light grey colour, whereas the ebay one looks too white too me

I've noticed that as well... at least in some of the better/more representative photos.  Was this poster printed on a light gray paper?  Or is the gray printed on?

I dont know about that but by looking at the one on heritage's site the printer details are right at the bottom and there looks to be more space above Connery's head as Paul mentioned.

Paper is and should be grey, albiet ever so slightly. Also, the text is an issue as stated.

I would steer clear from this just to be safe.

As I mention above, it's a sort of creamy very light green, quite difficult to describe (obviously!). Light duck egg green perhaps. It does look quite like light grey, especially on photos. It's a printed colour - altho a lot of the posters from that era have darkened a bit on the back anyway! I still haven't heard back from the seller...

what I thought when I saw one of the Thunderball quads was that the paper manufacture process resulted in off-white paper. This was probably the result of using too green of a wood and not enough bleach to neutralize the variation

ps: this usually happens when someone uses cheap paper to keep costs down

Can you elaborate - the green wood theory doesn't sound right.

Maybe it was a special Belgian green wood?

David.. if you don't know anything about the complicated process of making paper.. why don't you go to wikipedia & read up on it.. It's possible you could actually expand your knowledge base

Good morning Rich, bottom line, I asked a civil question. I simply questioned your assertion that using "too green a wood" etc etc belgian belgian

If you are going to make statements in such a knowledgeable way (and add a p.s no less) then perhaps you should be sure of what you are talking about. Paper is made from pulp, pulp is made from trees, trees are green - there is no major drying process before or after trees are cut down. The process of making paper is not part of my query - but nope, you decided to have a little wiki-swipe.

As to the now famous "Belgian Incident now you say you were "razzing you guys all along" - OMG, no one here believes that for one second, if it was true then rather having a go at Bruce you would have said to me "nahh just BSing you". BTW, my IQ is not in question...
