[MOPO] Could these be real? or repros?

2009-10-30 Thread Kerry Laws
hello mopo'ers, i was trying to help a friend out who was looking at these framed posters (half sheets are 2, and the other appears to be a one sheet but have no size reference). i told my friend that the red flag on the 2 of them (RIDE RYDER RIDE and SANDFLOW) is that they have been framed and

shipping them framed is more expensive and higher risk of damage. If they turn out to be repros, shipping them back will be costly. Good luck to your friend. Sue www.hollywoodposterframes.com Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:33:00 -0700 From: loveno...@gmail.com Subject: [MOPO] Could these

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,

greg, all one has to do is look at a site like allposters.com and see MANY smaller titles that have been reproduced. i am not suggesting a forgery like the Universal fakes, simply a poster print bought at some other retailer and framed. kerry On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 11:03 AM, Greg wrote: >

Kerry, Only one thing to do here -- make the seller take the posters out of the frame and send a picture of a close-up of the bottom margin to see what it says. Besides, the seller is going to have to take them out of the frames anyway -- you definitely would *not* want them shipping in the f

hi JR, that was my first suggestion to my friend last night, when i first viewed the photos... have them removed from the frames so the entire piece can be seen. if the seller refuses, he is potentially hiding something. get pics of the "naked" pieces and get close up shots of the printer's info.
