What a first rate Card...

brude · « **Reply #3276 on:** October 20, 2012, 01:13:33 PM »

It sure is.

Only thing that could top it would be Karloff in the image as well...

If you take out the "Universal Horror" angle, it's a pretty mediocre card.

Isn't that kind of like saying if you take away Brigitte Bardot's body and face she is average looking?

Less than average looking actually:

that Raven card is mediocre just as Louie says. It's a boring scene card that doesn't look any different than a Chandu card..

I should mention that aside from the title and the producer (Universal) it's very ordinary

Excellent point by a man who actually knows what he is talking about.

You people are crazy, there's no where on the card that says Universal...!!

It's the boarders that make it for me, the Raven book, with uncle Carls name on, the candle that emanates around the card, and then it has Lugosi on it...

And you know what makes it more special........I'm passionate about these films...

IT'S MORE THAN A HOBBY...

I wonder what he wants for the rest of the poster??

A newer reprint of a Belgian poster for FORBIDDEN PLANET is currently being offered on Ebay and is advertised as a 1956 Original.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221146964111?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Here are images, first of that in the current auction and secondly, a legitimate copy. Several differences are immediately evident. The title, VERBODEN PLANEET, is missing from the reprint, and the banner below the spaceship has been redone, with the word, "Verrassend!" having been removed.

On close inspection of the photo the seller provided of the bottom border, one can clearly read, "Printed In Belgium" in the lower right. Legitimate copies are printed with "Imprime En Belgique" in the lower LEFT corner.

I notified the seller, so we will see if any change to the auction or a reply will be forthcoming.

Nice work on exposing the Belgian FB, Jeff!

Hopefully, the seller will update his listing...

erik1925 · « **Reply #3299 on:** October 31, 2012, 01:29:55 PM »

Ted,

I actually got 2 replies back from this seller. Very polite. The seller, in pricing his piece, referenced a previous ebay sale of that same reprint that sold recently for 150.00 (ouch).

I messaged him back with a range of prices of what legitimate Belgian FP have sold for, but have not found anything on what these later reprints go for. The seller asked what the value of his was, as well.

Can anyone provide a ballpark figure for what these later reprints might be valued at or sell for?
I was thinking 25-50.00 (but that may be way off).
