Agree w/Bruce here...I'm enjoying that show, HOLLYWOOD TREASURE, but it seems kind of funny to me that one of their methods of authentication for costumes and props is to watch the respective film/TV show and just try to eyeball the specific details (of the piece) to see if it matches up.
I mean, there's gotta be a better way, right? ________________________________ From: Bruce Hershenson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, November 25, 2010 5:36:06 AM Subject: [MOPO] The dark side of movie prop selling The dark side calls: 'Darth Vader' costume on sale Note that they say that " the costume is thought to have been made for "The Empire Strikes Back"! They only "think" it? What the heck does that mean? Anyone here remember L.A. Props, which purchased common 1930s and 1940s items on eBay and then added fake COAs and sold them as the property of famous celebs through major auction houses? Is there any hobby more riddled with fakes that the movie prop business? -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 28 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
