If you wanted to buy an original movie poster that was made decades ago, is there anything to look out for to tell if it's original or if it was re-printed?
What are some steps we can take to minimize the risk of buying a fake? In other words, what should we be checking and looking at? I know some things might vary from poster to poster but I'm talking about in a broad sense.
In the past, most lightbox uses fluorescent tubes which emits small amount of UV light... which can cause the colour to fade. However, with LED nowadays, this problem is not too much of a concern. UV light from direct sunlight is the worst.
Hi! Strange question - but is there a difference in value/authenticity when a One Sheet is produced and/or distributed outside of the US? (Thailand/Australia/etc.) Or do these generally belong to the same original print run mentioned, and are now only more commonly available online because of global marketplace access? :)
Hi, most of the time, One sheets that are distributed outside of US, are actually printed from them same source. However, there are difference when the movie is premiered in different dates. Hence they usually print another international version with a "coming soon" at the bottom instead of the actual release date. Sometimes, the production of these international version are produced in their respective countries to save cost or to add in their own release date or language. So for original poster outside US, there are quite a few variables. 1) US printed, international version - The value can be high especially if they decide to use a design that is not used in US. For example, the dark knight international teaser poster. 2) Locally printed English version - Usually these are not as collectible as US printed, however, certain version can fetch high price if the designs is not used in US. The Joker has quite a few locally printed version that are in high demand. 3) Locally printed in local language - these are less desirable, especially when the design is the same as the US version. I hope this helps.
Any poster collector worth his/her salt knows that a large portion of fakes and double-sided bootlegs come from Thailand and Singapore, where Poster Hub is located. BIG RED FLAGS, people. My advice is stick with domestic sellers you can trust.

If you have a backlit movie poster frame, then a double-sided movie poster, is the best way to go. Gives you a clear hi definition image when lit.
Amazing!!!! Thank you for sharing. This is valuable information for those of us who love collecting movie posters.
Thank you. Very informative. I didn't know about double side printing. It does look a lot better!
Wow! Thank you! I just learned so much! 🙏🏽
Nice

The Original theatrical double-sided posters are the only posters worth investing, no reprints for me.

Very instructive! I was wondering how bad a lightbox can affect the colors of a DS movie poster on the long run?
