AOL EmailDavid, you say one thing, Tom another. You obviously haven't convinced Tom. Maybe others as well.
How many times do we have to discuss this same topic? You tell me. This afternoon Tom posted his thoughts on the Provenance thread, and by the way, also stated that in his opinion the "minty white"' inserts are legit, and all this talk of them being fakes is nothing but "propaganda". If no one had responded to this claim, some newbies may assume that that is fact, not knowing that many people hold a different view on the subject. This would also be the time to mention that, in my opinion, referring to fakes as "unauthorized" restrikes, does lend them some air of legitimacy they do not deserve.

They are "unauthorized" restrikes. They were most likely done "after hours" at the same place the originals were printed years before (at one of the nss printing facilities).....that is why the quality is just as good as the originals.........that is why they fooled so many people......and that is why they still fool people today. Some are virtually identical with the same art cropping etc., and some have the artwork slightly cropped. The list of titles is on our website.....some of these fake inserts include: a clockwork orange -X rated, jaws, star wars, esb, rotj, scarface, blade runner, manhattan. There were also several unauthorized restrike one sheets printed around the same time. They probably came from the same source as the minty white inserts (at least that's my humble opinion!). The manhattan style b 1sh, fast times 1sh, rocky horror 1sh, star wars a,b,c one sheets.....as well as several others. We have done several comparisons side by side and have close ups of some of them (not all) on our site. They aren't all in one place though on the website. Some of them (like scarface and manhattan) we haven't done only because we haven't had a fake one and a real one in stock at the same time so we could compare them side by side. Anybody who thinks the minty white inserts are "real".....is flat out wrong. David Lieberman CineMasterpieces.com | 15721 N.
