I agree he has a MASSIVE amount of super helpful information and bravo to Dave. especially where he helps newbies not get ripped off by eBay sellers openly selling fakes..
But does he still call "printer's test" posters "proofs"? I hope not, because 99% of the ones circulating in the hobby are test posters that were printed to get people's reactions before the final print run. The few true PROOF posters are sent back to the printer with markings as to what needs to be changed OR have an approval stamped area where it is OK'ed for printing.
