I don't think it hurts to go over this area periodically because that
is what MOPO is for. If someone is "tuning in" late, they
can assess the information, even look back on filmfan.com and read the
archive posts.
This raises another issue. While it would be good to have a site that
compares known fakes and authentic posters, there are some aspects
that photographs - whether digital or otherwise - don't really
communicate - like the tactile response to a poster, the paper stock
etc.
I think it's helpful to step back and acknowledge once in a while that
the vast vast majority of movie posters out there are authentic posters.
That's how I see it.

I'd reeeealy like to hear from someone reputable that thinks they
are real. Seriously......if you are a dealer or long time collector
that believes these minty whites are real......please speak up now.
I have no doubt that there were warehouse "finds" from nss with tens
of thousands of inserts of hundreds (if not thousands) of titles
that were bought for pennies........I also have no doubt that
several POPULAR TITLES were illegally reprinted after hours by
unscrupulous employees several years after the films were originally
released. Yes, I have spoken with people who were there when this
went on. Of course, they still wish to remain anonymous.......so
what absolute proof do I have???? Zero, zilch, nada...........just
tons and tons of circumstantial evidence......the fact that these
popular titles are still sold weekly on ebay for over ten years from
the same few criminal sellers...., expert opinions from some of the
top dealers and long time collectors from all over the
world.......my own common sense.......plus the use of my own eyes,
hands, and nose that tells me something is NOT right with them.
