I've been going through some of the one-sheets Bruce just posted and it looks like a collector is selling a bunch of posters he/she bought from Bruce. Several are the exact posters sold around 2005...

Charlie, this is the "circle of life". People buy bunches of posters, and swear they will never ever sell even one of them.

A few years go by (or ten or twenty) and times and tastes change, and suddenly they are like "Why do I still have this crap?". and then a consignor is born!

And the consignment fee bus goes 'round and 'round

If people didn't (re)sell items they owned, vintage poster collecting would have died years ago and the only thing you could collect is new releases and repros

Charlie, I have a buyer who regularly recycles the posters he buys from me. Sometimes just a few weeks after he wins it.

That sounds like a disorder of some sort.

i emailed him and asked if there was any marking on the bootleg to show its a copy, I am awaiting his reply

the one he is currently selling (as long as the print job is good) could easily pass as a quad to the untrained eye and who knows in a few years to even a trained eye

This is a worrying development as in general Quads have been safe (other than a few notable exceptions) fake free

I noticed that in his description, the seller says the size is APPROX. 30x40 inches. If these copies are short by 1/2" or so on the length and width, (for example), wouldn't that also be a strong indicator that it was a bootleg, should it show up later, and advertised as the real deal? I guess someone could describe it as being exactly 30"x40", which would then be deceptive, if someone wanted to fool potential buyers. $:-\$

Ari · « **Reply #2740 on:** May 28, 2012, 08:18:23 PM »

only one available?

PS, I migth have asked, anyone get any of the Hammer repro quads they issued?
I assume they are undersized. And the paper would be way off.

Ari, No they are correct size, but the print quality is awful...

This is the poster I mentioned in the other thread, saying that Linen backed one that sold for well over £800, may well be one of these....buyer beware.

OCEAN'S 11 (1960) insert, signed by 10 cast members. Unfortunately, the seller doesn't say how or where he got it signed, or if he bought it this way.

Opening bid is $6500.00 (but that is not the reserve)

OMG, I would SO NEVER touch that, not even for $100.

PS: Can a good restorer remove signatures?

erik1925 · « **Reply #2744 on:** May 29, 2012, 05:06:10 PM »

The paper looks more matte and not all that glossy, so those sigs are well absorbed into the paper fiber. I bet trying to get sharpie (and regular) ink removed would be tough.

eatbrie · « **Reply #2745 on:** May 29, 2012, 05:07:27 PM »

It's too bad. It's a really nice poster.

Flat topped "r" in "Frank" is noted as a very common way to identify forgeries.

I miss the old days of Ebay when you could contact a potential buyer to tell them to stay the fuck away from an item. I did it so many times. It's tragic you cannot do it anymore, since it was the best way to fight crooks.

I agree. Not a big fan either (certainly not at that price), but it does have a good 60s look.
