The Real Deal vs Reprints
The internet is flooded with cheap, modern reprints of classic movie posters. True collectors only want original, theater-issued "one-sheets." For vintage movies, these are often folded (not rolled) and contain specific National Screen Service (NSS) numbering in the corner.
Filtering the Fakes
eBay requires extreme vigilance to weed out the high-quality fakes.
- NSS Number Tracking: Train the monitor to search the description specifically for the correct NSS stamp.
- Auction House Focus: Track specialized entertainment memorabilia auctions like Heritage Auctions.
