Obviously, without seeing it or an image, it's difficult to make an accurate
call on this.
What you describe may be a legit poster that has been printed slightly out
of register, or has been pulled 'wet' from the press causing an inking
smudge.
Of course it could also be a bootleg/fake.
Get agood magnifying glass and see if there is a printers GAU or similar in
bottom white border. This should be pin-sharp (being a single black). If
it's blurred/indistinct then there's a good chance it's a repro.
Best still, can you post a link to a URL where some pics of the poster in
question can be scrutinised?

Subject: [MOPO] FW: quick question about poster (Warriors)
MoPo'ers:
I received this e-mail from a web site visitor. Can anyone help with this
"Warriors" poster question? From what he describes this sounds like a
printing flaw, one that could occur on an original. Opinions?
Thanks,

Subject: quick question about poster (Warriors)
I am relatively new to the movie poster collection deal, and I have
limited
funds so I am trying to be a good consumer. I was wondering if authentic
posters can sometimes have a tiny (not even a
cm.) flaw along the edges of the main image (My example is the Warriors
original poster I bought from a seemingly well-respected guy on
ebay...there
are a few inches on the bottom of the main image where there is a very
very
thin line of pinkish/purple/fuschia...only goes for a few inches and then
it
is sharp.
Is this a sign of a really good fake (or bad fake!) or just a normal part
of
poster making in 1979?
I know this is a long question, so I apoligize. I really just want to know
so I can get angry if its fake and be done with the fact that I threw away
150 bucks...yes i like the poster regardless but you know what I mean.
