Here's a side-by-side comparison of an original and fake lobby card, with an interesting added twist! |

I want to show a side-by-side comparison of one of the earliest and most notorious fakes in our hobby, the lobby
card set from "A Fistful of Dollars".

Compelling! To say the least.
Thank you for sharing that, Bruce and Phil. As far as Professor Powers, he's as real as Santa Clause. Cheers, dario. |

Bruce, isn't the guy in the professor powers disguise Tom Loce from Rochester?

I have heard that, and a side-by-side comparison seems to back that up.

...seems to show that there is a good chance that the original card we show was not only the actual card that was used to make the reproduction...Even worse (and clearly from the Department of Adding Insult to Injury) would be the implication that "they" didn't even buy the damn card - they just borrowed or rented it to duplicate it. That's even cheaper than I am... --Peter |

Have to say, Prof Powers did provide the hobby with a few laughs - even if he was a twat in a beard. Make that because....

Bumpety Bump.
These bogus lobby cards have been making life hell for bona fide dealers in the real things for some years now, especially on the underground railway of Chinese whispers about what dealers can or can't be trusted to not sell minty white inserts and bogus lobby cards. |

Why are Loce's ebay photos always SO small? Someone who claims to be the King of Posters and with this kind of background should know that anyone spending
a good chunk on $$ will want clear, sharp pictures. This poster looks like it was photographed on a reddish carpeting and the color / tint of the photo also
looks very reddish, overall.
