As requested by rixposterz rick ryan, we sent 4 of our ROLLED never folded 1960's-1970's one sheets to Todd Spoor at MP Grading for authentication. He said that if we did this, and that if Todd authenticated them, that he would publicly apologize for accusing us of selling "questionable" rolled one sheets from the late 60's and 70's. We agreed to humor him, so we sent some in to be authenticated. We asked rick SEVERAL TIMES publicly here on mopo which posters of ours that he thought were "questionable".....as we would have gladly sent in any that he requested. HE NEVER RESPONDED. He would not specify which of our posters he thought were questionable. Why? I have no idea.
We even asked all of mopo if anyone else thought any of our posters were questionable.......and no one responded......so the only one person who thinks some may be questionable......is rick......and again.....he won't even specify which ones! The ones we sent were: The Italian Job 1969 2 color ROLLED printer's proof Secret of Santa Vittoria 1969 ROLLED 1sh Fantastic Plastic Machine 1969 ROLLED 1sh (these 3 came from the same source, a "find" from a former studio executive we had a few years ago, a hoard of rolled one sheets from 1968-1972 Star Wars ROLLED 1sh first printing 77/21-0 All 4 came back with an MP Grading Certificate of Authenticity. So, any time now rick.....any time. Why do I get the feeling that it will be some sort of half ass apology? full disclosure....an interesting thing. The actual paper test results on the Italian Job Printers's Proof came back saying something to the effect of "inconclusive", paper may be from the 1980's"...........which is really strange. After discussing it with Todd we both pretty much agreed that just by looking at the poster and its age, and the fact that it has an NSS stamp on the back, and the fact that it from the same "find" where every poster this guy had was from 1968-1972, and that no other proof like this one has ever surfaced....that it is authentic. p.s. Todd, thanks.....I'll pay you for the paper tests asap. Dave David A. Lieberman _CineMasterpieces.com_ (http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/) | Vintage Original Movie Posters 15721 N.
