I've got the German apocalypse on linen great condition.

yes.
I know there is/was an authentication page floating around the web somewhere.

Mel had an article, but it appears that his site is back down again.

That's the one.i know it's not that rare and I can get one from a few reputable dealers at around the £800 mark but I think that's top price. has anyone seen the posters on that neugo website. I've been waiting for it to go live for a long time but nothing! I've emailed loads of times but no answer.

Paul, on your initial list you posted, which poster is the one you hope (or have been trying) to get first? Does any one stand out a bit in front of the others?

And the GERM ANow is such a great image. Love it.

Good to know, Paul.

Again, I was just curious, as some can have a "want list" that falls in a descending order of   and desire.

I do have the UK version of this...

As has been reported from time to time there are supposedly only six US lenticular one sheets in existence - I think that is an image of one of the smaller "lamp-post" lenticulars Paul. How does the UK version that you have differ? I'm guessing co.uk in the footer. I've never seen a UK one sheet lenticular.

You are good Mark, yes it is one of the lamp-post versions. I got it from my Cinema guy, but he'd thrown the lamp-post bit away...    Though it does say .com and not co.uk...

In his defence, it was before I knew him.

Lots of reprints of that one around right?  Or are they reissues?  It was discussed at some point...

Most of these you see frequently offered on ebay are FAKE. The guy who made them initially sold them as originals, now he offers them as 'reprint/reissue'.

The paper stock of the fakes is different, but the easiest way to spot the difference on a digital image are small white spots in bottom. They slightly vary in size, but are present on all originals I have handled. On the fakes, the bottom section is spotless black. Heritage has images of several originals online, and if you know what to look for, the spots are easy to see. This poster was issued unfolded, so there's a number of rolled originals out there.

Over the last 20 years, I have probably handled more copies of this poster than anybody else. I was always rare, but in recent years it been really, really tough to find.
