Title: UNIVERSAL HORROR POSTER FORGERIES - IMPORTANT INFO
Post by: movieposterbid.com on August 27, 2009, 05:10:04 PM
Folks

finally we are able to talk about the Universal Horror Poster Forgeries that have come to light

I don't have time at the moment to post the whole story, but if you go to www.filmfan.com (http://www.filmfan.com) and read the post "Fake Horror Lobby Cards" started by Joe Burtis, you'll get a pretty good idea of what's going on

the fraud involves every major universal title and exceeds $1,000,000

if the admin can pin this topic, it would be appreciated

Thanks for posting this.  I just started collecting Uni posters during the last year or so.  All of mine came from Bruce or Heritage, and I see in the thread they are both considered "safe."  So I guess I'm OK!  Whew!  I am very worried about fakes with this stuff, especially since I am still a novice when it comes to 30s-50s horror paper.  I'm more experienced with the 60s/70s exploitation era, which is still my poster collecting focus.  You have to watch out for fakes in that genre, too.
