Has anyone bought posters or lobby cards from "highqposter" in Thailand? Any info on whether they sell repros as originals?

To me his posters that are listed in "Originals" look fine and everything he lists as reproduction is clearly described as such. Seems trustworthy to me. As for the Lobbies he only has Repros listed at this time. Good luck

Thanks. I was most interested in the LCs. He describes them as "Not printed at home", so I didn't know if there was a language misunderstanding (repros) there or not. I've never seen some of the recent English language LCs he offers (Suicide Squad, Rogue One) anywhere else, and I assume US theaters don't use LCs anymore. If he designs them himself, they're really well done. I've emailed him to ask. I may just buy a set anyway for the heck of it.

When he says "Printed as professional not home printing" he means they are not cheap looking cards printed at home on a low cost printer (like T Locke) but printed by a professional printer in Thailand. They are 100% NOT original lobby cards as printed by the studios.

Yup - you're right. Thanks for looking. He's responded to my inquiry, and they are "high quality" repros. I'd love to know where he's getting the originals, or whether he designs them himself. I didn't think lobbies were used anymore in theaters.
