I am a member of MOPO, and other memberships include the biggest film poster dealers, film poster appraisers, and film poster collectors from around the world, although most are from the USA. this poster is LIKELY a worthless reproduction. you have been told this previously by MOPO members using the internal ebay email "Ask Seller A Question." you stated that 2 auctions houses authenticated that it is an original. there are no such high-end auction houses in Louisiana. you told me privately via email (as well as other{s}) that you refused to disclose these auction houses. THIS IS WHAT RAISED THE RED FLAGS IN ADDITION TO THE IMAGES. it is my understanding that ebay has already been notified of this possible fraud. moreover, should you ship this across state lines and it turns out to be a fraudulent transaction, you will have committed a federal crime. The FBI has a special task force assigned to consider the sales of fraudulent artwork---and we on MOPO discussed this recently because of a CNN or FOX NEWS report about them. if you are knowlingly selling a repro, lied in the ebay description, purposely trimmed the bottom to hide the name of the reproduction company, i suggest you reconsider finalizing the transaction. The buyer's identity will be disclosed, eventually. I suggest you re-consider.
