Sean,
I agree, a 6-sheet normally wouldn't "make sense" to forge in most
cases. I suspect that Kerry had a well-heeled client who was looking
specifically for a 6-sheet for A&C Meet F and was willing to pay a big
premium to get it, so Kerry had Jamie make one to order. Still, the mind
boggles. It is six times the work of a 1-sheet and then some (because
you have to get a good high-resolution scan of the original 6-sheet
artwork so you could print one up from scratch on a high-end large
format printer). I would have thought the amount of money one could get
for a six sheet of A&C meet F versus what a decent forgery cost wouldn't
have been worth the effort (but apparently it was).
This has to be the most bizarre scam operation ever.

Just a quick update after talking with collectors this past week and
in reviewing the information from Jaime Mendez's testimony in court,
there most definitely are reproductions made of /Creature From the
Black Lagoon/ lobbies (at least the title card and best scene card so
far) and even more amazingly there is at least one confirmed 6-sheet
now (from /Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein/)!
I thought it remarkable before in learning that there were fake
3-sheets made in addition to the one-sheets, but i am truly stunned in
learning that there was also at least one 6-sheet made.
