So, lemme get this straight... David has had 4 of his perfectly
legitimate poster listings immediately *yanked* by Ebay because some
crazy old actress thinks she owns the rights to her name on a poster,
even though she knows she signed those rights away over 50 years ago to
the movie studio...
...but this filmfootage seller, who is known to have sold confirmed
fakes for thousands of dollars a pop is still allowed to continue to
list more fakes for sale on Ebay?
Sheesh! There outta be a law. Oh, wait... there are actually several
laws... but no one seems interested in enforcing those real laws, only
in performing useless VERO dances for show.
Hey... here's an idea... what if someone (certainly not me... I mean,
y'know... someone with time on their hands...) were to file VERO
violations on this fraudster's Universal Horror listings, perhaps as a
representative of the estate of Lugosi, Chaney or Karloff or on some
other pretension?
Wouldn't Ebay immediately pull those listings?
There's more than one way to skin a BLACK CAT...

Jeff,
Just looking at his small photo, the poster doesn't look right. The
detail and colors look washed out, but then again, the photo is small
and not very clear.
Notice his Return Policy?
*/Satisfaction Guaranteed or Full Refund...Item must be returned
within 3 days of receipt./*
*//*
As anybody knows, that is not nearly enough time to have the poster
checked out by an expert to see if it's real or not and of course, the
seller knows this and purposely has that short return window of time.
****I should also note as it's already been mentioned on MoPo, that
this seller has already allegedly sold many FAKES to unwary collectors
and dealers.
Best,
Todd

selling on ebay, asking who had done the restore and/or backing work.

*Hi, the collector I got it from told me that it was backed by studio
C, this was around 5 years ago.
Thanks...........*

Just more info to ponder, and made aware of, with regard to Universal
items.
