Any old movie poster people out there?

If anyone can help with this poster it is appreciated it measures 25 1/2 by 39 inches. Don’t know if it’s real or not

wish I could help you out, but its hard to tell from the images... I almost have to see it in person to see if the 57/494 is 'printed' or written with ink.
If its printed, its obviously a reprint of the original..

if this helps... you can google the movie poster. I just did and came up with someone on Amazon saying its an original for 11.75. (who knows..)

Everything is in the print nothing written

The one on eBay also looks like 57/494 Hmmm I smell two repops Send photos up close and clear to ha.com they will know.

If it real, you did real good.

At least the 57 maybe the whole number will be hand inked. If it is printed it is a repop

I would start with using a loop to see if its a digital print also, curious as to why a movie poster would be numbered
also curious about the gloss finish
IMO

not genuine in my opinion. I highly doubt the original would have been printed on glossy paper stock for one thing. I own a few original movie posters and all of them have a catalog number on the lower corner, whereas yours appears to a 'print number' of xx out of a total of xxx

 

[jtw1313]

I agree

Repo without a doubt. Originals have textured paper.

just ask the person you bought it from.

Anyone who knows me here at the tnet knows I don’t buy good thing huh lol

Not all. I like the poster, but I wouldn't buy it, because I know my wife wouldn't like it and I'd be unable to display it. It would be just rolled up and put out in the shed with all the other out of sight out of her mind stuff of mine.

I am not a poster person but I have seen quite a few and never have I seen one numbered like yours. I suspect reproduction limited to attract collectors.

In my younger years I pictured myself being a bachelor forever and living in a house full of my cool stuff. That changed of course and practically all my stuff went into the closets. Some of the movie posters I bought years ago include titles such as The Jerk, Scarface, Heavy Metal, 1941 (with John Belushi), the Twilight Zone movie, John Carpenter's The Thing, The Hollywood Knights, and some others. They have increased in value 5, 10, and 15 times what I paid for them over the years. For Christmas a couple of years ago I bought a frame and gave my son his pick of whichever one he wanted. He took 'The Thing'. Like most of my stuff, they never went on display as I originally visioned, but some day perhaps my kids can either enjoy them or the money they may bring if sold. it's kind of funny how men and women can live together even though they have completely different views on decor. LOL
