Bruce,
Thanks for this and to anyone who helps to reveal any of the fraud(s)
in our business. The Powers site is so funny. I tried to e-mail him
but alas it was bounced back.

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://

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".
