thanks for the reply, jeff.
one question to you, then... if you realized that he had sold you a
number of fake pieces, why would you then have dealt with him, (in
your words), "many times?" it would have olnt taken getting burned
once to never buy or do business with this type of person again.
best.

I have dealt whit him many times, I've actually been to his place
and checked out all his awesome original posters. I bought a bunch
of stuff off of him and I indeed got a few of the fake "minty
white" inserts. This was a long time ago and he did not inform me
that they were fakes. Luckily I only got a couple of them, but he
did charge me a lot of money. As customers/ buyers started to
become more aware of the "Minty White" scam tloceposters (Tom Loce)
got harangued over and over about this. He laid low for a bit.
After I learned of my mistake, I went back to his place and
informed him about the fakes. He was pretty determined to say they
were originals, but I knew they were not and so did many other
people. I talked him into selling some posters for cheap, like an
original Friday 13th part 1 mint original for $20 and a Green Slime
advanced for $50 mint. All in all, I was duped and bought the fakes
when I was not educated on them about 10 years ago. I'll bump into
him once in a while and bust on him about the fakes, I'll never buy
another insert from him again and I'll always double check and will
not buy anything from him unless I go over to his place to see it,
unless I know 100% it is original. The last poster I bought off of
him was a Shockwaves OS. Good condition and original. The only
posters that I do have that I got from him that I am realy not sure
if it could be a fake is a 1 million years BC Welch OS. Does
anybody know if there are any fakes of this poster. It looks
original, but when I bought it it was mint/ white and very nice.
Not sure.
