hi all,
i need to get some other opinions from you chaps please.
I recently sold a lost boys uk quad rolled to a chap on ebay (possibly a forum member)
I have had just had a request to return it as is he suspects its a later reprint. The poster is the full 30 x 40, is of a high print quality and i obtained with a batch of other posters of the same vintage. So i have no doubts.
Back in the mid eighties and prior quads were definately printed with a matt finish , however i have several posters from mid eighties onwards where the paper changes and is of a silk (not gloss as per today) finish. These become more and more common as the years progress.
Eg i have from 1987, the Lost Boys, Witches of Eastwick, Predator quads all with this feel and and beyond 87, virtually all quads go this way, eg Leon, Usual suspects, terminator 2, etc etc
This chap is saying his existing poster which is folded is of a matt finish (he wanted a rolled one to replace the folded one) . I know there were folded quads given away with the album/12" single
The question i am asking is this, does anyone have a lost boys quad and can they tell where there's came from and whats the finish
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201391996369?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2648The gentlemen who is returning is saying he asked emovieposter and the quad posters in the albums were as a result of over printing and were identical which doesnt sound right to me.
I have never doubted this poster, given its size, quality, finish, and the fact it came with other posters of the same vintage ie blue Velvet, witches of eastwick, withnail and i, predator etc
needless to say i am taking the poster back whatever the outcome as i dont want my feedback ruined
