If the buyer would know the slightest bit about movie material he/she would not have placed the bid, so i quess the buyer just likes the frame and wants to spend 250 on it. I quess it's up to them. I can imagine a rookie falling for a portal publication, but if you bid on this and think it is

I find it surprising that some people don't evencare if something is a reproduction and not an original. Like the half sheet Portal reproductions from "The Wizard Of Oz" that were on e-bay a few months back. The seller was honest and forthright about them and the buyer knew what they were

Kirby, I agree that one should not contact other people's bidders -- unless there is a clear case of fraud being commited against those bidders by the seller. Then I think that if we notice what's going down and just stand by and say nothing that we are as culpable as those who watch any other

[MOPO] Canadian Oz Repro

I think this Oz reproduction is based on the Canadian poster. I never knew Portal put this style out if they actually did. Yes, the size is like a Masterprint. I see this seller is an Antique's dealer which is quite common when these reproductions pop up. I can't begin to believe this seller

Just visited the AR site and noted that someone brought in some 1930s/1940s Japanese movie posters...in English! Very interesting. From the looks of them, they were probably meant to promote the showing of Japanese propaganda films overseas in English-speaking countries in the years before

Just to make it simple, let's stick to one sheets (because, in some of these cases, the one sheet is a stinker but there is at least a B style half sheet or some other size which is great). The following one sheets are ones which I think are pretty dreadful: WIZARD OF OZ CASABLANCA GRAND

Most obvious, to me, is Citizen Kane. The original release posters are awful. (Tagline: It's Terrific!) A lot of the great Warners movies of the 40s have pretty blah posters. Can't come up with a title off-hand. Btw, I actually think Bullitt is a pretty good movie, even if it does have Robert
