Actually, the eBay sellers Filmfootage and Jerseyproductions have sold to a far wider group of collectors than Kerry Haggard has ever sold to, and every week I am hearing from more collectors who are discovering they had purchased fakes from these sellers (actually the same person). So if by a very small circle of collectors you mean those who might have purchased Sci-Fi and/or Horror posters from these dealers I guess you are correct.

I spoke to the seller on the phone after the sale, and we had a very pleasant conversation. My understanding is, that he deals primarily in vintage toys and he purchased the few movie posters he has for his personal collection. Of course, I can't say anything about the CREATURE poster, but, if you at all consider buying this, I'm sure he would be glad to give you any desired information. Please keep in mind, that the majority of the fake posters were apparently distributed among a VERY SMALL CIRCLE of collectors, so while anybody should be cautios in purchasing high-end posters (or any other high-priced item) over the internet, I see no reason for paranoia here. Just my two cents.
