Re: [MOPO] A good fake is always worth making

To further comment on this, many people aren't duplicating 60+ year old paper but instead are duping Clint Eastwood, Godfather, things like that, even impossible titles like Halloween.   How much do you need to age a 30 year old heavy card stock glossy lobby card to fool most people? None at all.   If someone were to duplicate a Caddyshack lobby card, and place a few strategic edge stresses, it wouldn't shout out that it hadn't aged for decades, but would look like it should, considering slight handling wear.   Now, to duplicate a card that was 60+ years old and effectively age it, considering the feel of that older paper and the scrutiny at which many collectors view it, that would probably require the type of talent and skill that one would wonder, why doesn't this person put that to use and get a real job?   Then again, forgers don't usually make their dough off of informed knowledgable collectors, it's a lot easier to fool the casual collectors who think Scarface, Untouchables, and Goodfellas constitute a well rounded collection.   Peace,   Jarrod   Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
