Re: [MOPO] War of the Worlds?

well, the stamp on the back seems to indicate that this is authentic but it is trimmed and, at this astronomical price, I wouldn't touch it.  Plus, from past experience, this seller refuses returns under any circumstances whatsoever. Maybe this is an authentic trimmed poster at an inflated price and the War of the worlds is an authentic fake at an even more inflated price?

That's an Interesting observation and I would have to agree with you! By the way, the same seller has a "The Great Escape" One Sheet on eBay (see link below). I've seen this version once or twice before, but was never sure if it is a legitimate poster or a reprint of some kind.....do you have any idea if this poster is legit or not?   Thanks, Walter!

Ebay seller is offereing what is claimed to be original 1965 War of the Worlds reissue one sheet http://cgi.ebay.com/WAR-OF-THE-WORLDS-Gene-Barry-Ann-Robinson-VINTGE-POSTER_W0QQitemZ7574514179QQcategoryZ60332QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem   He states that it is trimmed to 26 x 39" because that is the size used for overseas release.  That is not true.  I have had this poster before and it definitely measures 27 x 41".  Furthermore, there have been many Italian reprints of classic posters, which generally measure 26 x 39".  How hard would it be to take one of those 10 euro reprints, fold it, and then say that this is a very very rare original????     Walter Reuben Walter Reuben, Inc. 500 North Harper Avenue Los Angeles CA 90048  USA Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (323) 651 3313 www.walterfilm.com 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.
