Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.  Every poster we sell is authentic and original with no reprints or reproductions.  We offer a lifetime, money-back guarantee of authenticity on every item we sell.

No.  In the United States, all one sheet posters were single-sided until about 1990.  Movie theaters began using backlit poster displays and, within a few years, many one sheet posters were double-sided. However, a number of theaters did/do not use backlit displays and single-sided one sheet posters are still printed today by the studios.  Every single-sided poster we sell is authentic.

There are a number of ways to tell if a poster is a theatrical, authentic poster or a commercial reprint ranging from the size of a poster to paper type and printing quality.  Commercially printed (and licensed) reprints of movie posters have their place as an affordable way to see classic artwork without having any collectible value.  There are many stores that sell commercial reprints and we are happy to make referrals. 

We list poster sizes for most countries on our website.   They are the sizes printed for use in and around theaters. 

The flip side of reproductions are bootlegged or fake posters offered as originals.  Most posters have not been bootlegged because they are not highly sought after by collectors.  But there are several posters that have, and continue to be, reproduced and offered to buyers as originals.  We spend considerable time making sure that each and every poster we sell is original.
