This is why I love MoPo.....all of these great offers!
Shouldn't we be putting a "FA" before our posts of these treasures?
Certainly this poster T'N'A needs an "FA", comprende?

You guys can fool around all you want, but this is, after all, a serious
poster discussion board, fellas. To that end...
I have for sale an original one sheet from DEEP THROAT. There is a large
stain to the right of the female graphics that is the, ah, "signature" of
co-star John Holmes, aka Johnny Wadd. (I have a COA of the DNA from this
T'N'A mainstay. ) When asked about his unusual method of "signing" this
piece, Wadd replied, "Well, it was a seminal cinematic event." (His wit
was as huge as his...talent.)
I was going to put this on Ebay, but I'd rather offer it first to my MOPO
brethren. serious offers only, please.

Well, Rich, those are really cool.
My favorite poster of all is my paper-backed special advance teaser
24-sheet for the original 1933 KING KONG authentically signed by King
Kong. The signature by King Kong is /really large/ and is super rare
since Kong died in a tragic fall shortly before the finished film was
released.....top that! This is the only one known! I will stand behind
the authenticity and the poster (of course one gets lost pretty easily
behind a paper-backed 24-sheet).

Oh, c'mon Kevin. There might always be /one/ out there
that is the real deal! I really do want to believe.
If there is anyone who is lamenting not getting the WIZARD
OF OZ 1/2-sheet signed by "Dorothy", I have something that I am
offering that is even better. How about my linenbacked 3-sheet
from SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS *authentically
signed by "Santa"*!
Serious inquiries only, please.
With tounge firmly placed in cheek,

JR,
In 30 years colelcting vintage Hollywood autographs I have
NEVER seen her sign "Dorothy". About 7-8 years ago there
was a forger (pretty skilled) on eBay selling autographed OZ
books. He would pick up the old Oz books and trace the
signatures from an authentic Oz book sold by R&R in 2000 for
$47,000. But the forger would go a step further and add
"Dorothy". If you were ware of the Genuine Oz signed book
you could compare and see he was using it as a reference. I
even saw an experienced dealer sellign the set of OZ forged
autogroahs on eBay where the forger even traced the same
Inscriptions from the R&R book. So, outof the maybe couple
thousand Judy Garland autographs I have seen or owned I have
NEVER seen her use "Dorothy". But, in addition if you are
familar with her handwriting this reproduction Oz poster was
NOT even close to her handwriting.

Am I being dense in thinking that if Judy Garland had
autographed the poster that she would have signed it
"Judy" and not "Dorothy"? Duh...
Also the border of this "original poster" was
conveniently trimmed to cut off any identifying markings
of the company that reproduced it.
I might accept that it is barely possible there is
someone with over 500 feedbacks stupid enough to fall for
this and buy it for $589 (from a seller with 7 feedbacks
no less), but I'm not willing to believe there are *two*
such people and that they both saw and both bid on this
same auction. It's 99% certain both top bidders are shills.
Although eBay does not provide enough information in the
jokingly-named "bid history" these days to tell anything
about a bidder, the supposed winning bidder has only bid
on 2 posters in the past 30 days -- this and one other.
The guy he outbid (whose maximum was $579) only bid on 1
poster in the past 30 days -- this one. There are some
people who set up "shill bidder" accounts 5 or even 10
years ago on eBay and have been building up the feedback
of those shill bidding accounts so they look "real". And
they don't necessarily have an exclusive connection with
a particular seller. There are some sell shill bidder
services clandestinely. They will bid on your items up to
the amount you tell them to, with the agreement that if
they happen to win, they don't pay for the item but you
tell eBay they have and you leave each other positive
feedback.
