Needless to say that the price is completely ridiculous, but since eBay allows you to list a few items for free every month, it may have cost him nothing, and if the idea was to draw attention to his auctions, it apparently worked: He's now discussed on Mopo, for whatever that's worth... ;-)

You got it, Helmut. That's just what I was going to say, but it seemed too obvious. Guess his strategy worked: the listing has been posted on Mopo (including on Mopo's website), thus more people will look at it, then look at his other listings, then potentially make a purchase of something else

Kerry, The following is total, complete idle speculation, but... I'm guessing that the "Virginia City" & "Red Ryder Ride" pieces are original, because...who would want to bother MAKING a repro of either title? They're not terribly attractive graphics. The "Sandflow" poster is certainly suspect,

It's hard to tell from this photo. I do know that if something is matted you absolutely have to find out how it is matted. The matt could be covering the fact that the borders were trimmed away. Also, a lot of older posters were mounted on cardboard which renders the posters virtually worthless. No
