Hi, Bruce,
I can't understand how any dealer who is selling pre-say, 1975 one
sheets that are rolled and thus deemed suspect by many other dealers and
collectors wouldn't gladly and willingly accept Todd Spoor's offer to prove
once
and for all that they are indeed genuine original one sheets. Seems as if
there must be at least a shred of doubt in their own minds, otherwise they'd
want to finally be vindicated...to put the entire matter to rest. Oh,
Dave, when you send the rolled Woodstock Style C one sheet to Todd might as
well include that other puppy... the rolled Cool Hand Luke as well...

Please send yours to Todd Spoor. I will pay shipping both ways. The one I
have is linenbacked.
If he says it is from the 1970s, you will know for sure.
I am not sure who "Anyone who expresses a firm opinion without actually
handling one in person is being ridiculous." is aimed at, but I DID handle
one and to me it IS not right.
Why is this a dead horse, when no one knows the answer, and it is all
guesses for now?
In the meantime I will continue investigating!

Bruce "feels the paper stock is not consistent with a 1970 poster, but is
more likely 1990s."
I (and several others I might add) wholeheartedly and respectfully
disagree. I have several posters from that time period that are printed on the
exact same kind of paper.
This one for example even has the same light blue printing on the bottom:

(http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/92010/boymar10.jpg)
and the printers union logo when magnified does not look "fishy" or blurry
at all, it looks correct.
Some of the dealers and collectors who have contacted me who share my
opinion do not like to express their opinions publicly on these forums for
fear
of looking foolish by disagreeing with "the big Bruce".
Bruce...you know I love ya.....but please send it to Todd Spoor and let
him examine it. I'd love to see the analysis. If he says its from the 90's
I'd be shocked.
In my opinion the most likely reason that these exist is that they were
some sort of wilding poster. Some guy was supposed to post them up all over
some town/city and probably decided to get high instead (it was 1970) and
threw them in the back of a closet until a few years ago. He then shopped
them around to several poster dealers on ebay...some bought.....and some
didn't....some legitimate....and some not so legitimate.
There is zero evidence that this was ever a commercial poster.
btw....I've really got nothing invested in this.......I only have one of
them......it is on consignment.
I just think it is overreacting and pretty silly to scream "FAKE" when
there is no evidence.
Many dealers and collectors who have personally handled one agree that it
does look and does feel "right".
Anyone who expresses a firm opinion without actually handling one in
person is being ridiculous.
