Ilsa-She Wolf Teaser OS

[erik1925]

As posted to MOPO by dealer Helmut Hamm, who, because he mentioned hasn't been as active on other poster forums, said it was Ok to "spread the word." Here's his post regarding this OS:



"The infamous Mr. Loce is frequently offering this 'teaser' onesheet on ebay:

Actually, the Cinepix pressbook showed different advance posters, including an image of this one. Yet, no advance posters were ever printed. Until Mr. Loce and his associates came around, that is.

Cinepix printed a large quantity of the 'regular' ILSA onesheet, that were widely distributed in the 1980s and 90s. Yet, I have first seen this 'teaser' maybe ten or fifteen years ago or so. The photo part on the poster is pretty fuzzy, while the text is sharp.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is another fake. This poster was NOT printed by Cinepix, and it is NOT authentic.

For whatever that's worth, at least this is an 'original fake', as this poster never even existed in the first place.

I am not participating in any of the other forums right now, but if you think this information is worth sharing, please feel free to re-post it."

I'm so ashamed that he is from my region of NY state.

And for others that might not be familiar with tloce, there is this thread "dedicated" to him:

Update: EMP has also sold 3 of the 26x39 inch size over the years (the earliest being sold in 2008) as well as two others that measure 27x41 (US OS). EMP also discusses the sharp text and slightly fuzzy imagery, so it sounds like this has been a bit of ongoing debate or discussion.

looking at that image, I find it hard to believe that's an original poster

taking into consideration the description 'I have seen several examples of this poster, and they all measure this size, and all are printed in a way that makes it look like the image was blown up from a small image, and that may well be correct.'

I can't understand why anyone would consider selling the poster without more information

that said, I haven't handled one of these personally, so I don't know what the paper is like.

I lean toward Helmut's explanation.

note: Just this week I turned away some material that was either fake or so heavily restored that I could not trust selling them to anyone.
I bought a huge collection of horror-sf and a number of inserts were at the very least, questionable. I don't think you should ever sell anything that you aren't 100% certain of and I'm always surprised when seasoned dealer do.
