If these were printed by individuals years after and sold as originals to
collectors, it would take one of them "finding religion" to get them to confess
to their crime (and anyone involved would be confessing to a crime). So who
exactly are you hoping will come forward to give "the actual story"?
But I have handled many hundreds of thousands of posters (as has people like
Joe Burtis, Mike Hawks, and many others) and many dealers have handled many
tens of thousands of posters, and surely it is valuable information to know if
THEY feel these are authentic, and to know if they have EVER seen ANY other
inserts printed on the same sort of paper.
Remember the controversy over the Dumars "fake" Howard Hughes will? Hundreds of
millions were at stake, and no one could determine conclusively if it was or
was not authentic (and I read all I could on the matter, and personally, I
think it likely was real!). If all those experts in that case, spending
millions, could not solve that, then where and how are we expected to solve the
case of the minty whites?
