Startling Comics 49 poster20817

I snorted just a little. jaysonslade private msg quote post Address this user
Serious question…
What am I missing here? Is this a fake? Why does no one even seem interested?

You do know that the new guy brings the donuts, right? DWeeB1967 private msg quote post Address this user
One, maybe because it's hard to determine value on something like this (and, thus, folks don't want to overpay). Two, the description mentions possible edge trimming and the fact that the poster is glued to a board.

$3500 seems like a lot for that. To me, anyway.

That’s why it’s still for sale.
You’re not the only one.

Is there some way to verify that this is a true promotional poster printed at the time of the original comic book? I'm kind of skeptical of the idea that an issue #49 would have been introduced with a promotional poster. If that was a thing back then, I'm not aware of it.

Who knows. My guess (if it as old as stated) is that this was some sort of collected series inclusion or magazine pull-out. This is readily available super cheap basically print on demand.

It’s been pieced together. There are multiple fold lines that don’t line up and visible sectioning at what look like fold lines with visible overlap.

It’s just a poster I think most people would just get a print of a poster of that for like 20 bucks or something like that if they wanted it bad enough

I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
@Travis The same could be said about comics....why pay that much for a comic, just buy a reprint.

Posters (like comics) are highly collectible and original posters, with the correct subject matter, can be very expensive.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user

Just have @sborock_ComicLink check it out. I think he may have been part of the production team....

Seriously though, from his vast experience, he may be able to guide as to verification.
