Anyone notice that whenever the discussion turns to whacking off, Rich is there like a bear? No matter how "busy" he is doing other things. Odd!

well then stop doing it or you'll go blind Bruce.

if you folks want to see what I've been busy with, it's trying to get 1000 boxes of comics from an auction moved in 110 degree heat, sorting out 10,000 books to sell to someone, and trying to force the other 980 boxes into my warehouse

and there are 8 pallets more in my neighbor's warehouse

I can't imagine having to grade and process that much inventory. After awhile everything would look the same to me

Sweet...Where is the warehouse? I always liked comics in my ute.

Is there already someplace? or what happens when there is a poster warehouse like that?

"what happens when there is a poster warehouse like that?"

If they are smart, they consign it to http://www.eMoviePoster.com

If they AREN'T smart, they hold a giant auction where only dealers buy, and then LOTS of those buyers consign what they bought at low wholesale prices to http://www.eMoviePoster.com!

Another "flawless" bootleg Star Wars C on Ebay:

Not too hard to spot 'em, even from a distance - fireball and laser gas cloud are much less prominent:

PS - I borrowed the above comparison pics from Cinemasterpieces

That might be one of the craziest things I have ever seen since I jumped into this hobby. Hilarious, don't know what else to say..

Is it a minty white? That would be icing on the cake!

Ari, can the sticker be removed or, did the overzealous Mr. Powers devalue your poster?

I suspect Mr. Richards would prefer to leave it on for sentimental reasons...

Oh and because it's a FAKE

oldposterho · « **Reply #121 on:** November 30, 2010, 08:19:17 PM »

That's a good point. The Powers imprimatur certainly authenticates it as a complete fraud, so it does have that going for it.

I am sure Ari can tell the story in more detail but basically it is one of the infamous Minty White frauds...
