Can I ask why this is a scam?  Are they fake posters?  Just an all around bad seller?

These are all pretty common 70s and 80s posters.  It seems like it would be harder to bootleg them all convincingly than it would to just buy them!  Granted, I would never touch a deal like this with a ten foot pole...

Harry,

In my book once a scam artist always a scam artist. Just go back a page and look at the link I posted a while back on this seller. If he's willing to do all that in which he was convicted of I don't know why anyone would trust him. But like I said earlier, I'm not telling people what to do or what and where to buy their stuff. I'm just giving them a buyer beware warning from all the red flags and past history of this person. I hate to see people get burned by dishonesty and especially from people who do it knowingly.

This will probably be my last post on it.

Understood, thanks.  I was just wondering if the posters were fake or something.

I just got to meet a living legend this evening - Martin Scorsese - who signed a Mean Streets one sheet and a Taxi Driver still (featuring him and Robert De Niro) for me. He was here in London for a Q & A which followed a 50th anniversary screening of Peeping Tom - still a disturbing film.

Bought this rare Cannes film festival poster for Supersized signed by the director Morgan Spurlock.  It says "Just say no to Ronald."  I exchanged extensive emails with the seller and it all appears to be legit.  Basically, the seller lives in Charleston, West Virginia and Spurlock is originally from that area and is a "friend of a friend." Will poster larger pic when it gets here.

I know his ex wife if that helps, I bet she knows his signature. He took her for a ride financially BTW to pay for the movie (I know I only know one side of it, but I think he is a dickhead).

You can't report your own post to the moderator, that doesn't make sense!

Well, it's a $51 poster, hardly worth making a fuss over.  Apparently, the guy who originally procured the signature had some legal ties to Spurlock.  Bottom line is it's not worth anybody's time to reprint this poster and/or fake a signature, so I'm not worried about it.

Very cool.

Thought I'd revive this thread a little.

Stay away from these guys.

I got stung ages ago buying a signed Predator poster from ebay.

I had the UACC authenticate the sigs and they determined it was definitely a fake.

Which movie is that from?  I think I need to add 'stone-washed denim vest' to the 'ole xmas list...


EDIT: I better add a Mach 3 Turbo to the list too so I can shave my pecs.
