Just like an out of court settlement where everyone signs binding
non-disclosure statements, here the general public is left hanging with
no real answers. So, did someone/something finally convince PIH that
this poster was not the real deal? Did John Davis end up recanting his
COA? Will this poster now turn up in another auction some day, some
where, maybe overseas... or perhaps just be quietly offered for private
sale to some collector who doesn't happen to read the movie poster forums?
And, of course, we will lack the definitive answer to the burning
question, "Wow, dude, is *that* all it took? Just pay $325 for an
exact-size S2art.com reproduction... distress it a bit... give it to a
restorer and tell them to back it and repair/replace the bottom margin
where S2 deliberately left out the fine print... and you too can get a
recognized expert to give it a COA and auction it off for hundreds of
thousands of dollars?"
I guess at the very least we all need to keep track of which specific
posters S2art.com is reproducing:

I was told there was a well linenbacked S2 recreation of the 1931
duotone Dracula one-sheet in the upcoming PIH auction, but I went
online and can't find it. Anyone know where it went?
