Wasn't it on MOPO that someone said that modern posters were worthless? I would say $159 is not bad for a 2003 movie poster. JW

REVISED, discard previous. (Image re-sized to fit window.) * In Bruce's e-mail club message this week, there's an article and a link to a site that until now, I'd never heard of. It's hosted by a lawyer named Mel Hutson and it's called MoviePosterCollectors.com. * While it features a familiar list of titles associated with known bootleg posters, e.g., Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix, Jaws, minty white inserts, etc., it also lists other titles I didn't know had been counterfeited, such as 2003's Oscar-winner, "Lost in Translation" (Scarlett Johansson version); detailed info at link below: http://www.moviepostercollectors.com/MPC_Authentication_Lost_In_Translation.html * Parenthetically, while Bruce has a scarce/authentic double-sided original "Translation" closing later today (Sunday) at... http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2605000 ...the existence of forged one-sheets for "Translation" being sold as originals by unscrupulous dealers - is disheartening. (It's one of the few contemporary titles I own that's housed in a Sue Heim frame. I double-checked my single-sided version with the site and it's original.) * I think everyone should check their 1970s-to-present inventory with the titles listed on this site. It's also among the most daring - because it boldly identifies sellers of bogus posters by name. The link to the site's "sellers' hall of shame" is below: http://www.moviepostercollectors.com/Fake_Sellers.html -d.
