Could do the industry a favour.
Been enough distinct, (but mostly politely unmentioned), whiffs around
since I've been collecting, an impossible to ignore bit of cheese
cutting might help it clean up.
May lead to a bit less of the three monkeys.
Personally, I couldn't care less about fake Star Wars being sold when
they're clearly described as fakes.
But The Deer Hunter still being described as;
DEER HUNTER, THE movie poster film poster one sheet
1978
British Double Crown 20" x 30" Original Movie Poster ROLLED UNUSED NM-
M C9-C10 $1495.00
This poster was withdrawn from circulation soon after it was issued. A
very rare poster, the one all collectors want!
It's not rare, it was, but now it's all over the sodding place,
obviously been a find.
I've said it once on here, hate to think that blurb was deliberately
misleading.
Or would that be acceptable?
Cheers,
Rich

Doug,
Thank you, I appreciated that very much!!
As a restorer, news like this is heart wrenching and I feel it might
hurt the reputation of many many talented and honest conservation
and Restoration artist who do nothing but good.
I also feel horrible for Ralph and many of his fellow UH collectors
that have lost some serious money.
This is definitely one big dark cloud over over hobby right now.
Best,
dario.

Dario, is the only restorer on Mopo who informs and answers to our
restoring questions.
Personally, I think it speaks volumes that you put your name on
your work....please keep it up & stay on the "right side"!

Hi Doug,
As soon as I mentioned the "Dark Side" a name came flying in from
many Mopo members. This is so High profile and sensitive right now
that mentioning any name could land on in some serious trouble. I
would love to be able to blur it out, but it would be crazy. It
will reveal it self very soon, I don't see why not.
Kindly and respectfully, please don't put me on the " Guilty side"
I already feel bad as a collector and Linen backer. This is truly
an ugly mess.
As always, your friend,
dario.

Year after year we hear, were not going to mention names unless
proven....
Dealers who sell fakes either on purpose or mistake should be
liable. If they do not know their material that they are selling,
than they "SHOULD NOT BE SELLING"!
Linen backers on the "dark side" should be crucified! Members who
know who these people are, and don't inform, are just as guilty....
This list is to open up to the members about movie posters.
Informing the group about known fakes and dealers (not just
dealers outside the group), but also the shitty ones inside the
group, will only improve the movie poster world not bring it
down.....
Doug
