Authenticating Quads?

I thought I'd ask since this has always bugged me.  I picked up a few Bond Quads in a London record store in the '80s.  I've always assumed they were repros, but there's nothing on them to indicate that and the images and size seem to be the same as authentic ones.  Are there a bunch of Bond reprints out there from the 80s?

    Yes.
  • Yes, there's several Quads at full size that are repros. At first they look fine till you get up to them. Paper is all wrong too..

    What are some of the things you can see when up close?  I really only collect US onesheets so I'm not familiar with the paper quads normally use.  These Bond quads are on heavier paper than US one sheets from the 60s.
  • Up close they are not as sharp as the originals, Paper should be Matt, almost smooth on one side, slightly rougher on the back.
