concerning the Empire Strikes Back poster that turns up from Japan
it is becoming clear that it is a probable bootleg poster and I heard
one top Star wars collector was going to be writing and posting an
article to expose this reality.
I won't sell them and have turned down a couple opportunities to buy
them. However until such a time that the information is published, it is
difficult to say for certain this is the issue.
One thing for certain, the auction that has sold the most of them is
going to not like upholding his supposed "we refund our mistakes"
policy, as they have sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth

So in the past three or so years I’m seeing at auction more and more
printers proof posters appearing- especially Star Wars posters and
Jaws- they seem to be in every major auction. Yet years ago we rarely
saw one if any. What is going on? This is also like that special
Empire Strikes Back poster that now regularly sells for over $10k
Apparently some Japanese collector found 2 of them and said there is
about 6 in the world though Bruce has auctioned this poster 10 times
not to mention all the other times by other auction houses.
There was a big stink years ago with all the minty inserts - to me
there is an even bigger one with the flooding of printers proofs as of
late - and the seem to be on the same big titles.
