Of course it is impossible to say from his crappy photo, but my inclination is that it IS genuine from 1968. His other items come from an archive of a TV magazine of the 1960s, and it seems quite reasonable that the studio might have sent them a rolled version of this poster.
Of course, the price is another issue. This poster does not sell for much over $100 folded, except on expensive dealers' websites, so it is hard to say that it is worth double that unfolded. Personally, I think "Monkee-mania" is long dead and is never coming back. They were an imitation Beatles group (who did some fine music), but as an investment I would still to Beatles posters over Monkees posters any day! Just my 2 cents.
