Anyone interested?
Cheers.

Can we see a quality (hi res) picture of yours?
How much do you want for yours?
How is it framed?
Is the poster stuck to the backboard inside the frame?
Is/was the poster folded?
Is it au natural or on linen?
Can the poster be removed from the frame (rolled up and posted)
Sorry for the inquisition but this poster was reproduced some years back and is often mistaken as an original, everyone here will want to be doubly careful.
We paid $2,000 for it so happy to take $1,600.
Yes it is on linen and not stuck to the backboard.
Image of it on our wall to see the framing:

I can't see any fold lines?
No fold lines at all.
How much without the frame?
Without the frame - maybe $1300? Looks great in the frame though!
Most people believe that the dealer had arranged for a run of reproductions (perhaps he had located the original printing plates, because they are of a high quality). When I auction one of those posters, I label it as a 1980s REPRODUCTION.
We saw many of these posters offered in the 1980s, but in the past 20 years, we have almost never seen them offered at all, so it seems that the people who bought them in the 1980s are happy to keep them, whether they are an original, a "re-strike", or a reproduction. The last one we auctioned was not backed and sold for $682.
I have never auctioned a proven original. I was told by Jose Carpio, the leading dealer in non-U.S. posters in the 1980s, that all of the proven originals had strong darkening on the folds.
Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
If that is from NSW then I was offered the same one and explained the repro issue too.
Yes, it could be a repro, one would have to ask to see a hi-res image and a few other questions to establish it's authenticity. As Bruce suggests, most if not all have been fooled by the 80s repro.
Even today, French 1Ps are still folded.
How can i tell if it is a reproduction or not?
I have to agree with Bruce on this one (as usual) wholeheartedly.
Best to all,
Patrick

Still happy to sell as you would hardly notice any difference to an original.
