Wouldn't unauthorized be an illegal act by company standards?

It really depends on how the plates were obtained and, well, a lot of other parts of the circumstances too

Yep - I was not insinuating he wasn't.

And I agree again about the change in terminology to "unauthorised"

There's probably a market for those posters at the prices he's asking. They're not for serious collectors, but I imagine some people would be happy with them. What's a mint SW off Cinemasterpieces cost?

About 10x inflation (maybe more!)

Mel, on your latest page, I am not sure what you were intending to say with this

"(The major consignors will not resell these bootlegs.)"

I think you maybe meant auctions instead of "consignors". In any event, you should revise it to reflect what you do mean.

On the Woodstock, I had not seen your page before. It seems you now agree that it is a more recent poster, as I said from the first time I saw it. You have my strong belief that it is definitely not a 1970 poster, plus MPA Grading agreeing, and on the other side you have the unsupported self-serving statement of the seller, plus the statements of those who bought them from that seller and want them to be "real".

I applaud your efforts, and you can do this hobby a ton of good (and possibly cause eBay to either these guys from selling fakes there, which would be almost inconceivable), but be very very careful to not make an error, or those you profile will seize on it in an attempt to discredit you.

If we are pinning things, then why not pin the thread linked to MPA as well...

It would be nice to have a list of Ebay sellers names that are selling reprints/reproductions without divulging that information.

Like this guy - http://www.ebay.com/itm/PIRATES-OF-THE-CARIBBEAN-MOVIE-POSTER-REGULAR-/110703816514?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c6762f42#ht_2276wt_1165

Good idea, Mike.  But these two guys do mention that they are repros.
Check 'em both, top to bottom.

I must be lost... I can't find that mention of Repros in the title, or the item description.

I must be looking at the wrong place. :-[

I find that a bit sneaky, and purposely withheld from the title, or the item description.... I search Titles, not their locations.

Look at how many they have sold... I doubt as many people would have bought if they knew they were reproductions.

Then you aren't paying attention.  The classification is right there at the top of the listing, above even the title of the listing.  If you don't want to see them in your search results, simply go to entertainment memorabilia/posters/us-originals before doing the search.

The problem with Loce is that his pictures of his originals are as pathetic as his pictures of his fakes.  This Two Towers looks fake as hell but it's obviously not - zero chance there are double-sided copies of this floating around:

Bradburied. I posted most of this in another thread a while back.

I have a newbie friend who I am 95-99% sure bought a fake DSided 09' Star Trek from him before I had a chance to warn.
When he told me who he bought it from, I had him measure the poster and it came up short. So naturally with the guys rep we began to fear a fake.

He then bought a second poster from a different source that measured the full 40", had a lighter shade on the reverse side and had crisper text. Oh yeah and some of the text was a different color also.



A fake double sided 09' Star Trek ? Really? Yes really. Well probably.

Not sure what happened to Randy/Bradburied or in all honesty, how much he honestly knows/cares about what he has that is fake or not.

What I do know for a fact is that he was one of the major players in buying all papers from the closing NSS facility in Cleveland. He had unused rolls and rolls of original Jaws, SW, 007, etc...stuff you usually find folded.

Not vouching for him and fakes he may have, but the guy has or had one of the biggest hauls in NSS closings in history to an extent.

I agree, which I why I only show his bootlegs.  I'm not specifically aware of any digital repros he's selling. In fact, he's selling very few post-2000 posters.

I understand.

I was just pointing out that he has probably sold at least one very modern double sided bootleg. A poster that would seem has no reason to be bootlegged...

Are you confusing him with Tloce?  Bradburied is currently not selling any post-2000 original posters.

Bradburied does sell 250 or so repros in the reproduction section, which is acceptable.

No, it was Bradburied and over a year ago.

If it was Loce , I wouldnt have even bothered suggesting a second copy for comparison.  :P

EDIT: In all fairness. Using the 100% archie rule,  I cannot be 100% sure of who the seller was cause I was not the buyer and I was not there when he bought the first copy.  Bradburied  is the name my friend gave me when he showed me that poster.
