I don't understand what "provenance" means on a poster.  How do you know for sure and why does it matter?  It's not a piece of fine art, where pedigree and provenance are almost as important as the piece itself.  You can track a piece of art, I'm not sure how you would track a movie poster and know for sure that it has been where you say it has been, if it matters at all.

What about a Bieber poster from Bieber?  Surely that would set your fanboy heart all aflutter ;)

the best way to describe it, is it feels like cardboard you would find in a standee, but possibly a little thinner, you get a lot of these types of posters at premieres on the barrier controls for the controls, i dont know if they are standard quads pasted to card or printed specially. Anyway it feels like one of those :)

thats a question for someone on here re the premier card posters!

Man, that would be a treat and surely a poster I would never ever sell.

re Provenance, you could call it known history or what ever. Personally i like to know a back story to a poster, I am always interested where it came from be from Joe Bloggs in Bumblefuck or from George Lucas's personal archive. I think its fine to label that provenance, we all know we are not dealing with Fine Art, but the term is valid.
I agree you cant track it beyond the first or second person, but i got it from someone who was definately working for Palace in the eighties.. so there  :P

Someone from Thailand was smart enough to start selling them overseas.
I picked up a few while I was over there (amongst other things)

I just wipe off the sticky goop onto the elm street poster before I send out to the lucky buyer.

In reality, I don't think that provenance would make much of a difference in the price. There is nothing special about it being from a distributors office or from someone who worked at a company, or etc.

but why this particular Thai one?  Its a fairly old/rare poster as a US OS. 

Not a lot of Thai Jaws, B2TF, Caddyshacks, Halloweens or even NOES 2, 3, 4, 5...etc.   But for some reason, the original NOES Thai OS is all over the place. Perhqaps a giant stash found somewhere in Bangkok, sticky goop and all.

At least the seller ID's it as a repro..

So that's good.

already discussed this repro earlier in the thread, Freddy's hat being cropped is a great way to tell it apart from the real deal

I was in Thailand and believe me there is a LOT of examples of crappy titles for all sorts of films, in numbers.
Elm Street I don't think there is more of than say - caddyshack, I dunno, maybe they have more sense than to screen that film ;)



I bought a number of these, because I LOVE the film and a lot of my customers do also, but it isn't popular like Elm street, I could have bought probably 50 of these if I wanted.
The poster shop in Bangkok had stacks of posters and sorting the wheat from the chaff was more than I had time for.

ELM street 2,3,4 etc where also available by the way. I didnt get any, I am not a fan of the films myself and part one is passable I guess. Even when I am buying to sell I tend to choose stuff I like, not good business sense but makes me happy. (in case I am stuck with them perhaps)
