that title was one of best repos I saw.. It was only like two color and
yes some people had them folded
a machine fold would not be a biggie... however most people wanted them
rolled.... also the saveing Private ryan was 1st double sided repo I
ever saw.... as most were one sided/.
what is amazeing was that the repos from UK and Germany and netherlands
many were shot off the one sheets
leaving the NSS number and Union printer Bug Logos. so to a layman they
appear to be real.
what everyone needs to know is that the printers that actually printed
to posters to begin with printed extras
and so many posters were sold from people within the industry..
including studios,
the reason it softened was that many titles became so availible and the
market shrunk because people like One stop of ca and Musicland entered
into deals to sell " Originals" however many were suspect titles
and actually reprints... heck even video posters were being sold as
originals because
the searcher John wayne was taken from one of th evideos I was
selling... so the bootlegs are bootlegs from bootlegs.. thats why you
see so many sizes and styles.
Its a very competitive process. driven now by internet deman and
college kids and people with movie rooms.
The only problem is the cycle time and longevity of Movie releases...
IMHO when we started you would have maybe 3 key releases in a month in
theatrical only.... then in like 84 when video became hot they would
release on video alos... but the posters wer small and had type all over
them.... then around 90-93 they started to release 27 x 40 one sheet
size videos that sometimes where the theatrical sheets also and some
better art then the one sheets.... even lenticular, banners and more
standees. etc....
so the repos where not the only posters that caused confusion......
The good pat is lots of nice images from all over the world... its a
great hobby and has been interesting to
have been part of...
I love the smell of freshly printed movie posters in the
Morning........... :)....

I'm sure someone knows the answer to this question. Are there many
(or any) 27 x 41 MACHINE FOLDED
Repro US 1 Sheets out there? I just got in a one sheet on Scarface
(Pacino) that measures 27 x 41 is definitely machine folded---it even
has a little bit (not much) of wear along the fold lines. Hey, I'm as
aware as anyone that this title has been repro'd up the gazoo--- I
have no reason to believe this may be a repro. I've always thought it
was difficult to replicate the folds when it's been MACHINE FOLDED
instead of folded by hand. I'm not an expert on repros, so if someone
could offer some insight into this it will not only be useful
to me but I'm sure it will be useful as well to many other members of
MoPo.
Thanks very much
in advance,
Rick
