James Bond CASINO ROYALE door panels - are these original?

110x75

Hi all. I'm helping a friend with these. The owner had them for a long time and I need to know if these are legit. I couldn't find reproductions on the web to compare, and the images of the ones sold by Bruce and Heritage are not big enough to see the small print at the bottom.
The 3 of them are in very good condition, paper is not the light paper of one sheets or the heavier stock paper that WCs have. Is somewhere in between (it can be rolled quite easily).
Not glossy at all. The print at the bottom is extremely sharp, and these are numbered 5, 4 and 2 (got pics from only one of them)
Anyone know if these are the real deal?

Bruce

I would be astounded if they are not real. I would also love to auction them!

Well, that's great news then!
I forgot to add that there was a certain yellowing on the paper (consistent with not modern paper), and a few tiny dirt spots (like the ones seen in the last pic). The only thing that made me doubt was that all three of them are in excelent condition.
These belonged to a dear friend who passed earlier this year, and his wife has no idea about posters, so I traveled there and helped her to organize the collection. She's keeping part of the collection, but these door panels are not part of the keepers, so consigning to you guys was the first option I gave her, but I needed to know if they were real.
I'll update her and we'll see what she decides.
Thanks for the info Bruce!

David

Pretty amazing pieces

Any chance of you showing off the ones she is keeping?

Will do David. I'm at work right now, my home PC decided she didn't want to function anymore since friday, but will post some of the stuff when I get it back.

The collection is 99% argentinean posters (for both local and foreign films), but there was some US stuff also.

Bruce

You are a very good friend. All collectors need to tell their loved ones who among their friends can be trusted after their time is up.

David

I'm taking them with me... >-)

Thanks Bruce, and true words.
This friend (and the conversations we had about posters and local film history) defined in great part my main interests and were vital to shape my poster collection. I learned a bunch from him (and why is it important not only to collect, but also to research), so I consider him a true master.
It was a great honor for me to take a look at his posters.

What more needs to be said about the god among men that is Matias?    [-O<

They look legit from here!

Mirosae

You are a good friend, and a decent man Matias. These look like great posters!

Paul

Those look right to me, if you want shot of them I'll forward you my address...

I think he was serious Matias.   [-(

I never take Paul very seriously. Except when he shows some of those kick-arse quads. Then he means bussiness!


^:)^

Paul

They will no doubt go for more than I want to/can pay... (

110x75

Hate when that happens Paul. If I had one buck for every time that happened to me, I could probably afford a nice Uni-horror right now. 8-|

Paul

Or several...

What is going to happen with them Matias, I may still bid if they are going that way..

110x75

Will let you know if they are consigned Paul. Thanks

Paul

Keep me posted Young fellow...

Almost a year late in joining the conversation... I'm curious if the posters ever became available for sale?

110x75

Not yet. I've been talking with my friend's wife last month, and she is thinking on selling some posters -including the Bonds- in the near future.

I'll keep you posted

Bruce

I would so love to have those door panels in my December Major Auction, and of course I can auction anything she has, even low dollar items.

Consigning those to emovie was my advice Bruce.
Let's see what she decides. I'll keep you posted too
