All,
This is pretty frustrating... neither the pictures at Bruce's site or
the Poster Mountain site show comparisons with a genuine original. We
need to see the magnified detail shots of the fake and the same
magnified details shots of an authentic poster presented side by side to
really learn how to spot tell the differences.
Also, I am confused by Bruce's description that the CREATURE fake John
sent him was created by somehow merging an authentic 1950's poster
border with a reproduced image area. Even linen-backed, wouldn't there
be some kind of a hair-thin line running all around the poster where the
border and the image area meet? In normal restoration of a genuine
poster, you might find this almost-microscopic line in a few spots were
pieces of missing original border paper were replaced with something
else from the same period... but if the *entire* border is replaced, I
don't see how that wouldn't be fair easy to identify by touch/magnifying
glass examination under very bright light. If I'm wrong and such a line
all around the poster between the border and the image would *not* be
visible, could some restorer please explain to us how that kind of magic
is accomplished?

Hi Bruce,
Big pics of the CFTBL fake, but not big enough to tell:
Is that the same style of fake, same quality of printing as the one of
the Poster Mountain database?

(Which I assume is Jim's.)
Cheers,
Richard
