The Dread Pirate is here to kick ass and chew gum.
And.... he's all outta gum.

I would trade a Mint rolled Spiderman twin towers (fake) for these guys to join and post here.
THATS a life mission.
I don't know, I will not buy from him.
The fact that those Star Wars are known fakes that he is selling for $100+ makes him not be trusted at all (He calls those fakes cheap?)... He could say his posters are genuine, but send you a fake instead.
If they were printed off the original plates then they're not fakes. Restrikes maybe, but not fakes.

Well you do have an argument there on the proper terminology. But really it all comes down to how they are presented in the sale...
Unauthorised is probably more correct.
He seems to be disclosing the facts??
I'm not sure illegal is right either. Unauthorised is probably more correct.
Wouldn't unauthorized be an illegal act by company standards?
Yep - I was not insinuating he wasn't.
And I agree again about the change in terminology to "unauthorised"
What's a mint SW off Cinemasterpieces cost?
Added a new page dedicated to Randy Poling (d/b/a Bradburied on Ebay):

P.S. Of course this topic should be pinned, and moved to the very top as well!
If we are pinning things, then why not pin the thread linked to MPA as well...
It would be nice to have a list of Ebay sellers names that are selling reprints/reproductions without divulging that information.
Like this guy - http://www.ebay.com/itm/PIRATES-OF-THE-CARIBBEAN-MOVIE-POSTER-REGULAR-/110703816514?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c6762f42#ht_2276wt_1165

Good idea, Mike. But these two guys do mention that they are repros.
Check 'em both, top to bottom.
cheers
I must be lost... I can't find that mention of Repros in the title, or the item description.
I must be looking at the wrong place. :-[
New in plastic sleeve. All movie posters are single sided and are reproductions unless stated otherwise. Size may vary up to 1/2" in length and or width.
The poster art description:
Movieposterusa: is listed in the category "reproductions"
I find that a bit sneaky, and purposely withheld from the title, or the item description.... I search Titles, not their locations.
Look at how many they have sold... I doubt as many people would have bought if they knew they were reproductions.
Then you aren't paying attention. The classification is right there at the top of the listing, above even the title of the listing.
Not sure what happened to Randy/Bradburied or in all honesty, how much he honestly knows/cares about what he has that is fake or not.
What I do know for a fact is that he was one of the major players in buying all papers from the closing NSS facility in Cleveland. He had unused rolls and rolls of original Jaws, SW, 007, etc...stuff you usually find folded.
Not vouching for him and fakes he may have, but the guy has or had one of the biggest hauls in NSS closings in history to an extent.
I understand.
I was just pointing out that he has probably sold at least one very modern double sided bootleg. A poster that would seem has no reason to be bootlegged...
Bradburied is currently not selling any post-2000 original posters.

There was another joint, Z something, that was buying originals, scanning for 27x40 prints, then selling the originals back off.
I think repro's have their place as long as not trying to fool anyone.
Ed Richter, Rick Toler, Tom Loce and Randy (?) aka Brabdburied were called the Famous Four. I think the Canadian Poster Terrorists invented the term.
Based on all the posts, commentary from other members such as Thierry, why has the name of Greg Egbert not been included on this hall of shame listing. One only has to read posts here, on MPF or NSFGE to realize that this guy has dealt in questionable material, and burned customers, as well.
Only seems to make sense that his name should also be included.
STUFFED IF I KNOW. TO BE HONEST I DONT KNOW IF HE SELLS FAKES OR NOT BUT I MIGHT SUE YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHO I AM AND NOW I AM ANGRY WHY DONT YOU GET A LIFE AND THEN I CAN STOP SHOUTING BECAUSE MY THROAT IS GETTING SORE.
;)
Rare, it ain't (like many other modern posters).
Bruce
Good for you Bruce.
Wish some other "beloved" sellers would stop telling us how rare they are.
IMO Egbert does not belong in the Hall of Shame. He sells a few questionable posters like the Friday the 13th fan club restrike but those issues are adequately disclosed. He's not like Tom Loce, who sells crappy repros as originals to newbies who don't know any better.
Also, Egbert consigns to EmoviePoster.com, so many of you are indirectly buying his stuff, often for much more than you could buy it from him directly. He also supplies - or has supplied - other well-known dealers.
Added Rick Toler D/B/A Rokmodatao (http://moviepostercollectors.com/Bootleg-Seller-rokmodataol.html)l to the MPC Fake Sellers Hall of Shame. (http://moviepostercollectors.com/Fake_Sellers.html)
Add "rokmodataol' to the list.Rick,has been known to delve in minty whites.
Loce,does have another ebay id.Either his or his buddy,Ed's.I can't recall what it is.I'm thinking 'king of posters' for some reason.I can't say for sure.Have to research that somehow.

This is shaping up to be a fun episode! pcorn
BTW, I am in Rochester 2-3 times a week if you need me to pick anything up.
Here's a link to Loce's lawsuit against Time Warner (http://federal-circuits.vlex.com/vid/loce-richter-shame-entertainment-38261939).
The guy is totally first class. Read this section from the opinion:
He will never show up here. He's a pariah on these boards and nobody here will buy from him, so why would he? He stays in business primarily from fleecing newbies who don't join these forums (or even know they exist).
I always welcome him, Gregg, and the others.
It's fun to argue with honest people too.
Arguing with dishonest people doesn't achieve anything, look at the correspondence between Loce and Mel. Loce could care less, he thrives on being in the spotlight. Allowing them in here so they can say (for instance) "I am also a member of one of the biggest poster forums in world" just helps their cause.
Not taking responsibility to try to clean up the hobby (as Mel is attempting for instance) because a few people want to have 'fun arguing' is not fair on those who new people who might just want to join this hobby in the future.
I don't get that statement one bit, nor can I agree with it.
These are people who knowingly rip off collectors by (continuing to) sell fakes, that you would welcome them on to these boards essentially means you find their actions as acceptable on some level. People like that should be drummed out not welcomed in. This may be an uncensored board but one would have thought you would draw the line at illegal activity.
I welcome the discourse. I don't abide by what they do, but we're not communists here and even the bad guys get to speak and we get to speak back. The day that's not accepted behavior is the day that Thierry and I shut this place down.
The reasons he won't come in here are irrelevant, people don't want to hear what he has to say they just want to line up and take verbal pot shots at the guy which will add no value to this hobby one bit. What he does is illegal, why pander to him and his inflated ego?
In Loce's case he is the lowest of the low, sit down in front of the computer and read this http://rochesternow.org/lwsfaq.html (http://rochesternow.org/lwsfaq.html) with your wife or daughter sitting alongside and say it's OK to let him speak. You'll not change him nor deter him by having him in here and I would also certainly think it would be an insult to the honest traders who are also members of this forum.
The seller/dealer vs collector ratio is pretty lopsided here. In general there is a fair amount of negative sentiment in the direction of sellers, I find. Be good to see it more balanced, regardless of reputations & hearsay evidence.
Actually, I think it is pretty balanced. However, every dealer except Rich and to some extent Bruce only contribute to... well, sell.
Hello
What do you think Movie Poster ? They sells the fake or original
Welcome benji.His post had me a little confused as well. That is why I just posted what I did lol.
Which 'Movie Poster' do you mean?
There are many with the words 'movie poster' in their name.
Maybe you can post a link?
cheers
A poster group on Facebook are looking for people with experience with T Loce and his fakes:
