Actually, the first thing I do when trying to authenticate a poster - is look
at the type of paper it's printed on (and what kind of printing it is).
Checking for an NSS stamp on the back would be rather low on the list (although
it would still be a good indicator of authenticity)...

didn't seem to exist in (even miniscule quantities) 5 or 6 years ago. Sure,
