it's clear that the santa clause beard and mustache as well as the glasses and pipe were added to the image of whoever that is..some body with a bit of digital know how should be able to remove those and give us a glimpse of who that might be..if i'm wrong..shades of miracle on 34th street..happy mday..Alan

I posted this at the start of my club message last week (5,300+ members) and this week I posted it to MoPo, Movie Poster Forum, and Not Suitable For General Exhibition.
I don't know how much more I can do (you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink!).
I think I will create an eBay auction with these two cards as a lot.

however, bruce-------------------MOPO has a limited audience. i never saw this article until today. and such a posting may get lost in your weekly emails.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. collectors without the benefit of MOPO membership, or other sources wouldnt even know what "milky white inserts" means.

Subject: [MOPO] Here's a side-by-side comparison of an original and fake lobby card, with an interesting added twist!
I want to show a side-by-side comparison of one of the earliest and most notorious fakes in our hobby, the lobby card set from "A Fistful of Dollars".
I call this "A Fistful of Comparisons". Go to
http://www.emovieposter.com/club/staticpages/fistfulofrepros/fistful_of_comparisons.htm
to see some really first rate side-by-side scans of both an original card and a fake, plus detailed descriptions in words, prepared by our incomparable Phillip Wages! In addition, we also have some tantalizing written evidence that seems to show that there is a good chance that the original card we show was not only the actual card that was used to make the reproduction, but also creates the real possibility that the fakes were created by "Professor Powers" (if you are not aware of who this is, go to
http://www.angelfire.com/stars4/mymovieposters/aboutme.htm
, either before or after you view the above page (and please know that, even though "Professor Powers" has all kinds of scholarly information about himself, no one in the hobby has ever seen or heard of him, and many in the hobby think that "Professor Powers" was created by the people who also created the minty white fakes, and that one of them in fact wore a disguise to pose as "Professor Powers".
