there is a one sheet with photo from "Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe"
described as (including spelling error):
FLASH GORDEN VINTAGE MOVIE POSTER 100% ORIGINAL
Very Rare nice orignla Gorden Movie poster from the 1930s comes with a
Certificant of Authenicty to be All original
Putting aside the issue of this particular Flash Gordon serial being made
in 1940, the poster itself is from a Universal International re-release from
around 1947. This seller doesn't appear to do a lot of poster selling. While
someone can charge whatever they want, having an $11,000 Buy It Now price would
seem to warrant doing a little research, unless this level of accuracy
represents full disclosure.
There are several active poster sellers on EBay and elsewhere who will
describe a poster as follows: "Original vintage poster from this 1937 John
Wayne western"
The poster in question is perhaps a 1952 re-release, but that information
is not disclosed. Though the poster being sold is not a reproduction and none
of the description is inaccurate, it certainly seems like a hugely deceptive
practice.
