Neil,
I completely agree.
As I mentioned before, this is not the first time John Davis has
mistakenly labeled a FAKE poster as real. I know of at least one other
instance with another very important piece and who knows how many more
we don't know about?
I believe that everyone who has spent their hard earned money having
their items authenticated by Poster Mountain should ask for a refund as
they will have to pay and go through this process again to make sure
what they have is real or a FAKE. It's obvious since he screwed up on
such an important piece, other pieces worth less were probably
scrutinized even less.
Also, how many other items that Poster Mountain authenticated as being
real are FAKE and how many items authenticated as being FAKE are real?

it's worth pointing out the irony that, only in August, Poster Mountain
were the experts that Ralph de Luca was recommending in the fall-out
from the Kerry Haggard scandal:
"Anyone who feels they (sic) material that may be fake can send it to
John Davis at Poster Mountain, or Carol Tincup in Orange CA. They are
the only restoration professionals that I know of who handled and
authenticated all the posters so far and help expose this crime."
But Poster Mountain's reputation is now frankly in tatters and their
website's ambitions to provide an 'Authentication Database and Forgery
Forensics Investigation' and 'Documentation Database' seems a trifle
ambitious. I wouldn't trust them to find the broad side of a barn.

Unbelievable..
But somehow not surprising.

Entirely different type o
f fake poster, which, due to the
dissimilarities to all of the other fakes we have uncovered, this one
fooled us until we learned more about it.
"fooled us until we learned more about it".
Well, up till two days ago, he still swore it was 100% original after
days and days of overwhelming evidence it was a FAKE.
From what I was told today, he ONLY realized it was fake after Profiles
ordered an S2 Dracula and they compared it in person.
By the way, I heard that Profiles is calling in the FBI and will go
after the consignor, Thomas Riga or Thomas Rega. It would be
interesting to find out if this is even a real person or one of the
sellers on Ebay who has already used at least four other aliases.

Yep, without being able to read all of it, he's shifting
responsibility.
(And even though he was emailed.)
I guess he'd back up "great attention" with the Litho number.

Pretty sad - even in his report he slams the competition restorers more
than he takes blame for messing this authentication up.
Wonder when the auction for John Davis' "ife" will start?

In the continuing effort to get to the truth about this poster -
I noticed, the other day, when I was able to look at a photo of the
Profiles poster, and zoom in to the lower , right corner, I saw that
the text, "Morgan Litho Co." was there. We did not add that text to
the poster in my shop. If the poster at Profiles, is indeed the same
poster, that was added by someone else, after it left my studio. We
only put a number there, at the clients request, as I have already
said, I suspected was incorrect.
Again, this maybe relevant or not.
