You know what's awesome about Tom Loce ?  He uses the exact same punctuation style as Professor Powers . How awesome is that !  It's like some kind of secret Morse code .  What a coincidence !

Whatever you may say about Mr Loce, he has a good sense of humour.

MOVIEGOODS.COM


SELLER OF MOVIE POSTER REPRINTS

MovieGoods is a notorious seller of cheap movie poster reproductions, although it sells a few original posters.  Collectors always want to buy originals.  A reprint is essentially worthless and very difficult to resell and should be avoided in almost all cases. Unlike some other sellers in the Movie Poster Sellers Hall of Shame, MovieGoods does not directly lie to its customers.  However, it belongs in the Hall of Shame because it obscures and hides the fact that it selling cheap reproductions, not originals.


I'm confused, last time I looked at their site (and it has been a while) their originals are clearly marked as such, meaning anything not marked as such is a repro...what's changed?

Ves, according to their site, they state the following:

"Many items on our website are originals. A key indicator of original posters is the Original Item icon shown below. Descriptions for common original items include 1 Sheet Posters, Half Sheets, Lobby Cards, Inserts, Window Cards and 3 Sheet Posters. If you have questions about a specific item, Contact Us anytime."

This is an interesting thread. I was totally oblivious to the existence of these dealers. The information is very helpful.

I think I will print all this out. Bedtime reading :)

Nothing says credibility like a dark pony-tail sticking out from behind your fake white beard, as seen on the "about me" page.  

Now, now younglings, respect your elders.

--Peter

Gotta love the pony tail.  I think he went for the James Randi look (irony at its best)

Can you carbon date paper or cardboard?

Quick answer, no.

With carbon dating there is always a +/- error of several years - usually like 50-100+ from what I have read.  As such, even if it could be done, carbon dating something so recent as supposedly stemming from the 70s or 80s would fall within that +/- acceptable date range margin of error and thus prove invalid anyways...

Carbon dating is much more useful for ancient artifacts/remains etc where the margin of error is much more appropriate to define a range and the exact date does not need to be pinpointed
