I have had two people in the last few days come to me convinced they have original Star Wars Style C posters, despite them being the wrong size and having 1990’s copyright information on the bottom, so I fear that a lot of buyers just see a deal that is too good to be true and buy, rather than doing their homework.
Thanks to all for the heads up. Regards, Adam.

And thanks to Bruce Hershenson and to Grey Smith and to all of the members of the collecting community who have concern for buyers of film posters. And concern for the integrity of their respective businesses. I had a chance to look at some images of these items, and I must say that they were mediocre forgeries. But that doesn't mean that somebody might not be taken in.

It certainly qualifies as grand larceny, fraud, or something jail worthy.

They are usually all “autographed” by the stars. These are all rather obvious fraudulent autographs. The list of titles include the following: Frankenstein Insert Dracula Insert Dracula Half Sheet Wolf Man insert Wolf Man half sheet Phantom of the Opera 1925 Insert Wizard of Oz half sheet Wizard of Oz Title Card, Balloon Card and Palace Guards scene. King Kong Lobby with Wray in tree, Kong and Log and Dead Card with Brontosaurus, Empire State card Bride of Frankenstein half sheet style B Bride of Frankenstein Title lobby and Lobby with Clive, Lancaster, Karloff and Thesiger. Frankenstein Title Card and scene card (cliff) House of Dracula Title Card and four scene cards Raven Lobby Card with erroneous image from 1940s release card inserted. London After Midnight Lobbies (3) one with Chaney as Vampire Mummy’s Tomb lobby card The cards seem to all be rubber stamped with some sort of period bogus stamp and are on the wrong paper though skillfully done. So far this is all I am aware of but believe all of these are poor reproductions with colors significantly misrepresented. I believe this may be just a partial list.
