Re: [MOPO] Vintage Poster Authentication

I own 2 of the S2 re-creations, a one sheet from THE MUMMY and a one sheet from SHE MARRIED HER BOSS w/Claudette Colbert. Both are incredibly faithful in printing quality to an actual stone ltho (I've heard that they use metal plates rather than stone, but they are NOT offset.) . At any rate,

Re: [MOPO] Vintage Poster Authentication

Randy, I have no experience of John Davis, though if I'd needed larger paper backed in the future I would definitely have used them. Probably not a good idea now though. I think this was a huge mistake. 2 known copies, a sudden unknown third should merit extreme caution, especially now. His

Re: [MOPO] Vintage Poster Authentication

There were a rash of ink jet fakes. Hard to believe they were that good, what with off white/stains of the paper/card printed onto clean paper. The latest one, well I believe S2 have old stone presses, I may be off on this. (John Davis declared it offset, but it doesn't look like clear offset

There's been a lot of mention of it elsewhere. That was John Davis's method. It nailed the ink jet fakes. But he was only looking too close, not ink jet meant not fake. On 29 Sep 2009, at 06:25, Randall Petersen wrote: With regard to the current uproar about movie poster forgeries, I am surp
