your example here, dario is perfect. make complete and total sense.
but for any of those in the business of dealing in bootlegs, fakes or
unauthorized re strikes--this will fall on deaf ears. and all in
the name of "educating" new and old collectors alike.
yeah, right.
what a joke.

Dave,
No need to try to pin me against fellow collectors and Linen
backers. Of course I don't think that.
The schematics are more intricate. Posters do travel, you know.
In the past I've sold a poster to collector A and a few years later
the same poster have come back to me from collector B for linen
backing only to to be sold on eBay to collector C.
Recently I had a local collector coming over with 6 posters for
Linen backing, all Bootleg all bought on eBay. He was pretty upset
after I told him that these are all fakes. To boot, I showed him
the authentication facts from MPA.
Not sure if we ever see him again.
End of the day, you do what ever you like. I personally think the
less bootlegs out there, the better.
Cheers,
dario.

you aren't really giving the people on mopo or linen backers
around the world any credit are you? Expecting the worst from
them. Are there dishonest linen backers/restorers out there? Are
there criminals on mopo that would take the time and money (a lot
of time and money.....the 4 or 5 stamps we put on the back are not
easy to remove and linen backing is not cheap) for the ONE poster
we are making available to them? Highly unlikely.
Really really no reason to start circulating most hated SW bootlegs
Again, here are 7 reasons:
Why are we doing this?
1. It would be silly to destroy them (we get requests for them all
the time - 31 so far since yesterday evening). We did actually
consider burning them and filming the video for our website and
youtube (wouldn't that be neat!).
2. It is an extremely high quality rolled one sheet.....just as
nice as the original....in every way.
3. It is a much more affordable alternative (FREE!) compared to
buying an original rolled one (over $1000.00) or compared to
buying one of these bootlegs on ebay for over $100.00.
4. It will help to educate collectors.
5. Like it or not, they are a part of movie poster collecting
history.
6. It could possibly help to diminish the market for them. Of
course it won't stop all newbies from getting stung on ebay (no
one can stop that I'm afraid).
7. Because we can. It is our little way of saying "Thank You" to
the movie poster collecting world!
