Title: Tax Stamps on Foreign Posters
Post by: mattsw on May 30, 2019, 05:31:07 PM
From a recent episode of Collector's Call on MeTV it was noted that a tax stamp on a foreign poster makes the poster more valuable than one that does not have the stamp, all else being equal.  I was surprised by that statement.  Is that a generally accepted rule of thumb?

About 2 weeks ago I bought a Belgian poster of "Pushover" that has a tax stamp on it.  I actually like the stamp but when buying it had no idea of any significance to it.  I do not plan to sell the poster any time soon, but interesting to note that the stamp may not be viewed as a defect.

Not viewed as a defect and can be an aid to determining authenticity.

But I certainly wouldn't say it is a rule that tax stamp being extant = greater value

tax stamps are not seen as a defect, but don't add any value to any poster that I can think of
