hello bruce, i'm sorry you feel that it is unacceptable of me to point out that someone - who has written an open letter to MOPO making a definitive claim that they are no longer in the authentication business - is still in the authentication business. neil

(full email below). i just glanced at his site and saw that there were at least a dozen 'authentication reports' so far in 2010, including - for those interested in irony - a report on a Dracula 1951R 1sh! this poster was found to be authentic and given a clean bill of health. and so were all the other posters. i admire a man who enjoys his work as much as john davis. neil It is absolutely true that I made an unfortunate mistake in my determination of authenticity of the Dracula poster. This was an honest mistake born of my ignorance of S2 reproductions and my lack of experience with the original Dracula poster. Joe Maddalena was in no way guilty of any wrong doing. His auction catalog was predicated on my expertise and I alone was fooled. I gladly accept 100% of all blame for my mistake, and will gladly reject any more requests for authentications. I sincerely apologize for any and all harm that I have caused. And promise that it will not happen again because I will no longer offer authentication service, please give me a few days to change my web site and to return all the new fakes that came in this week. Sincerely,John A. Davis Poster Mountain Inc.
