it is a minty white fake, and I bought it as such, well, as in I bought it as such, the seller is one of the notorious ones, in fact look at the pics of Prof Powers, its not hard to spot WHO he is under the disguise, so I bought one off him, and asked it to be 1st authenticated by the Prof, he agreed, and voila, the sticker can be removed but I wont. I love it, the amount of time we all spent talking about this stuff on Mopo, MPT and NS4 over the years, it for me became something I found so interesting that to me this is better than the real deal. part of Poster collecting history.
I was glad Prof was pleased to do it, and he had a good sense of humour about it.

Ive always wondered wether or not Prof Powers was a kinda in joke within the community.?
Is Tom Loce a real person? and who is he???

It would be good to know what the MINTYWHITEGATE scandal was all about!!

As for the "minty white" fraud, someone must have a link to the scuttlebut I am sure was discussed at NS4.

Tom (hi tom) has made some interesting TV also, do a search. (and Hi Tom is because I am sure he is reading)
What I find "funny" is the dealers in these, have a sense of humour about it, Prof powers site is an example, anyone with half a brain will KNOW its a load of crap.

This just gets weirder and weirder:

Life Without Shame

Life without shame was a late-night cable show hosted by Tom Loce and Ed Richter. They would go around strip clubs and video tape chicks dancing and other such porn. They would feature drag queens, prostitutes and derelicts in their natural habitat. They hosted the hobo olympics for christ sake. Homeless men would put on a fashion show, compete in a dildo javelin toss and do other shit I forgot about for the grand prize of a cooler full of hooch. Also it was one of the first and only REAL reality shows ever aired. Unfortunately it was brought down by good ol fashioned moral decency and the evil people who uphold it. I really really miss that show...


Reminds me of another cheesy show....

"It's Wayne's World, it's Wayne's World / It's party time, it's excellent / It's Wayne's World, it's Waynes World / It's party time, it's excellent!"

I doesn't sound like it was all fun and games...

Went to court in 1998 and final appeal was in 1999.

Yet another useless pugnacious post from the belittling curmudgeon Archie.  At least Dave's got a sense of humor:


There's nothing useless about it,Mel.Good advice.Look at The Professor...some collectors will be duped by that site.There could be other poster companies that pop up with authentication pages that may a change a detail or two.Try to fool ya.
Dave,is of course not doing that with his site.

Sellers sell,collectors collect,The motives are totally different.Yes,we are blessed with some trustworthy dealers(many who are on this forum),but there's alot of bad ones over the years that have dun way worse than sell a minty white, or ship your poster in a triangle tube.Because of this collectors like to do as much of the leg work they can(themselves) before pulling the trigger.It's not personal,just a condition.

Archie,is not attacking Dave the person,hell we all like Dave ( and have for years),funny dude,he's making reference to his questionable buisness practices in the past.
Bottom line,there's a history you are cleary are unaware of.


As far as, Archie being banned from MPF for crude remarks...that's not what happened.Again,history.

Mel,you mention there isn't any sites to get info about fake posters....you're standing in one.
No, it's not devoted to just authentication,there isn't pics of every poster complete with all the info,but all ya gotta do is yell out a poster and someone here has it I'm sure.Pics and info will follow.


Archie, 2+ years of this? Really? The hobby raises a glass.
I got the bends already.
