Title: Help authenticating vintage posters (Hammer, SciFi...)
Post by: rubsrubs on February 26, 2019, 06:53:26 AM

Hi,

I bought a posters lot from an old spanish theatre. I will keep some of them but I plan to sell some others.
As I'm still a newbie on this, I will need your help to authenticate them, in order to set a fair price.
Most of them are SciFi or Horror movie posters (those I like the most  ;) ). The seller claim they are all original but I would like you to help me to be sure about that.

I will be posting photos here in the next days.

Thank you in advance.

(I think this is the right place to post this. If not, please let me know)

I second Crow, Rubsrubs!  From what years are the posters?  It's intriguing.  Okie

Was it from a guy called Benito?  ;D

No, It wasn't from Benito. Is he a forum member or something?

I still have to check them carefully. But there are posters like Planeta prohibido (Spanish poster of Forbidden planet), Barbarella, The man who could cheat death, Horror Hotel, The phantom planet, The man with the X-ray eyes, Gorath, Invasion of the star creatures...

Sounds like you bought the posters Directly from the theater? Is this right? If so, how cool!   :D

And if it was a direct buy, how did you come across the theater sale in the first place?

Hi,

I bought the posters to a woman who is selling some stuff from an small theatre in a village. Her Grandfather was the theatre's owner. Obviously it closed a few years ago.
It sounds great to pick some interesting items, but... I think her grandfather and her father later could buy some reprints as decorative items for the theatre.  Now this woman is selling everything buy she don't know which is original and which is not.
That is the challenge :P
