[MOPO] Bambi (OT)

I went to look up whether Frankenstein (1931) is truly the greatest horror film of all time. I'm not sure of the answer, but I did discover that Bambi is one of the top 25 horror films. It says so in Time magazine. http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/ 0,28804,1676793_1676808_16768

[MOPO] Vintage Poster Authentication

With regard to the current uproar about movie poster forgeries, I am surprised that there has been virtually no discussion of what to me is a very straightforward way for virtually anyone to personally evaluate a supposedly vintage poster or lobby card for authenticity. Although modern printin

Just like an out of court settlement where everyone signs binding non-disclosure statements, here the general public is left hanging with no real answers. So, did someone/something finally convince PIH that this poster was not the real deal? Did John Davis end up recanting his COA? Will this po

There's been a lot of mention of it elsewhere. That was John Davis's method. It nailed the ink jet fakes. But he was only looking too close, not ink jet meant not fake. On 29 Sep 2009, at 06:25, Randall Petersen wrote: With regard to the current uproar about movie poster forgeries, I am surp

The password John Davis provided on NSFGE to access their authentication database no longer works. However you can still see there that a Psycho Style B quad has been rated authentic. It distinctly looks like it's the offset-litho version, rather than the 100% genuine stone-litho version. La
