Check out Aaron Brothers Framing or Michaels Arts & Crafts, Sunday newspaper ads generally have coupons for both. Just try to avoid the cardboard backing if you are framing a collectible poster.

Even though it's not an original double sided theatrical poster, the misses did like the German mini-poster that came with Mockingjay 2 3D. We'll be getting a frame maybe sometime next week. It is a little blurry.



Also, I was looking at a few webstores that do poster printing for 27x40. However, I am not sure if these are printed double sided or not. We are wanting to get double sided theatrical posters made for Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape and Toaster created, but, $1040 for 100 27x40 that may not be double sided is a bit of a frustration.

Got this DS poster from eBay

I would pay good money for this if it were official.

Where do I find the lowdown on possible fake Grindhouse posters?

Certainly better than any official poster I've seen for Civil War. Totally would get that one too.

Could someone tell me if this is legit? I'm looking for the banned Girl with The Dragon Tattoo poster.

I'd hold out for a double-sided one if you can find one, may take time and perhaps more expensive, but single-sided ones are easily bootlegged and while I am not saying that seller is offering one, I personally would avoid it since they can be duplicated easier than the double-sided counterpart. Again, just my opinion.

I actually wasn't sure if it was made as a DS poster. I'll hold off. Thanks for the reply, Kinsella5.

I would think they would have made them double-sided, since they had no idea it would be recalled until after it was released.

Yet another reason why collectors should be on alert. As legit as MoviePoster.com is, they have offered double-sided "reproductions" before and this is yet another example why collectors should be aware of this type of garbage. There is no official licensed "double-sided" reproductions that are made, this stuff is nothing more than knock-offs, the same junk MovieGoods would offer of the same poster as well as others. Just my opinion but any legit dealer wouldn't want to be associated with this type of stuff, and they refer to it as "limited edition" on their site.

At least they clearly state that it is a reprint.

I wonder if it is stamped anywhere on the poster itself?

The difficulty in differentiating reals from fakes is one of the reasons I stopped collecting posters.

True they list it as a reproduction but its clearly an unauthorized one and one would think they would want to not even offer something like that on their site because collectors should they see that, may question the authenticity of other posters they have purchased from them, seeing that they are offering it as a "double-sided" reproduction. I am all for reprints because some people aren't collectors and want to just have the art on their walls, and I respect that, but there is no logical reason to make a double-sided reprint.

Nowadays and i the past 5-8 years the best way to tell the originals from a possible reproduction if its double-sided is to look at the backside. While originals are still double-sided (and studios do issue single-sided originals for non-theatrical use) the backside of the poster nowadays is a lighter shade, meaning you can clearly tell the difference between the front and back when it comes to the colors, however there are very few exceptions to this, one being the Dark Knight Rises IMAX style which was printed by the IMAX Corporation and not the studio.

Seems Mondo is listening to it's fans and making more prints timed releases. They do have some cool looking prints coming up for next week's Alien Day release too.

Rogue one posters hit theaters this week along with doc strange. Guessing the rogue poster will be the boring theater like force awakens.

The Captain America Civil War poster is up on DMR for 1000 points. They also put the new Alice poster up for 1000.

Framing usually falls into two categories. Cheap and kind of crappy or expensive and nice. I had a couple half size posters framed at Michaels a fw weeks ago and the lowest I could get it was about $136.00 each (19"x25" prints).

If you can make the frame yourself on the other hand there is quite a lot of room for inexpensive and nice.

Just found this one online, one of my favorite movies. I display it in my Snap in poster case,( from an old movie theater that closed) I can replace the poster very easily, every month or weekly with what ever my mood is.
