Hi i dunno if there's already a thread similar to my question, is it safe to buy in amazon for posters and how can you prove it's authenticity?

IMO, Amazon is no better than buying from a dealer on eBay.  Virtually all of the posters there are storefronts for dealers that are also on eBay.

I would add, too, to be sure to read the poster's description, to make sure that the poster size is correct, and not some smaller repro or commercial piece. (Meaning that some sellers could be selling smaller, repro/commercial versions on purpose, but not trying to scam anyone).

Yes im seeing 27 x 40 but what im worried about is if the seller is really telling the truth or not..

If they are the full size, you are probably OK, tho, with some well known or desired titles, bootlegs can exist.

I used to sell on Amazon, and I make a few sales every week, so I still do.
