But what about your secret Paris-based restorer?

In my 12 years of collecting, I have restored less than 10 posters, and it's only because I knew I would not be able to find the posters again and bought them in lesser condition.  Condition is really key for me, since I don't linenback.  A "Good" poster at Bruce's is not for me.

Well, that might be my new favorite Sophia poster.
Congrats, Tang!

Another nice Martinati, for Treasure of the Sierra Madre (his artistic style was amazing and beautiful) but I would never know this was Bogie. (Or maybe it's not him?)   dontknow.gif

The other R65 "Kong 33" style is more rare and usually you have to pay a premium for it , unless you're lucky ;)

Tang, what does the '65RR look like? According to EMP, this is a probable '61RR:

I have picked up a few Italianos since this thread started.
I've posted them elsewhere on this forum, but this thread needs a bump...









and this 4fogli for Joe D'Amato's Papaya: Love Goddess of the Cannibals (1978)

Hi all. Recently pulled the trigger on a Godfather locandina on eBay despite my slight reservation about a relatively old poster (1972) being commonly available on the site.

I was pleased with what I got -- printing looks sharp and it was impressively yellowed ("felt" old), but my restorer thinks it could be a reprint.

Was wondering if anyone has had experience with this poster? I can't find much information online about Italian bootlegs.

First, welcome to the forum.  welcome1

Enjoy all the good people here.

And please post a pic or 2 of your poster. Would be great to see.

Why did your restorer think it was a repro/reprint? Did he mention specifics or certain things that caught his eye?

No, it was goposter -- they sold a 140x200 cm Italian Godfather poster (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Manifesto-Originale-Il-Padrino-Godfather-140x200-CM-Marlon-Brando-/331907505675) that got positive feedback and convinced me to overlook their relatively low feedback.

Thanks! Unfortunately I only took this one picture of the poster -- it's off getting framed (like I said, it looks pretty great regardless).

There's a light circular indent, about 2" in diameter, in the black portion of the poster that my restorer thought could have been from the equipment used to reprint the poster? I didn't press the issue and it's not really visible in the picture.
