Are reproductions and counterfeits “flooding” the market? Really? I don’t think so. Sure, there have been some fakes and some chicanery. But the vast majority of movie posters out there are authentic.
I wish bidll good luck, certainly. But the idea that most collectors are going to encounter fakes wholesale is just not true. Think about the millions of movie posters that exist. And then think about what percentage of these you believe to be fake. In my experience it isn’t even one tenth of one percent if that!
