Hi Dave: No - Chris never worked for me - he did buy some stuff from me and fortunately paid for it when he was in town. But he did work for Caruso and that turned out very badly I've heard. - Bruce

Chris Forbes also used the name Chris Basquait and used the Ebay name of mommieforever during his hay day. Also used the name of Hell Quest Films - which may have been his "B" Movie company.

 

 Bruce, didn't Chris work for you at Cinema Graphics at one time? And later for John Caruso?

Hi Michael , Steve and everybody: This is Bruce Carteron. I'm not in Denver anymore. I closed my store and it reopened under another owner some time ago. I was doing mail order for quite awhile and then moved to South Dakota, got married, and got on eBay. That was until last year when I started working at Crazy Horse Memorial when eBay sort of went downhill (for me anyway). In January I was offered the tremendous opportunity to work with Grey at Heritage, I interviewed and got the job. That's where I'm at now. We've been very busy working on the latest Signature catalog and doing weekly auctions. That's the condensed version of what's been happening to me. I haven't posted on here for awhile because I've been way too busy. If anyone would like to write me, I'd be happy to hear from you and will try and reply to all.

As for Chris Forbes, I think he burned just about everybody in Denver involved in movie posters when he was here. He left Denver many years ago and I haven't heard anything more about him. As far as I know, his name really was Chris Forbes, he bought (and stole), from every dealer and many collectors in this town and from what I heard later, all around the country. When he was here, he told everyone he was financing a movie he was going to make, and he got some of my friends to sign on to be in it, do props etc.,  then just vanished one day. - Bruce
