This NSS theatrical insert poster is exceedingly difficult to authenticate if you don’t know what to look for. The reproduction is identical to this original insert movie poster in all ways except the following.

  1. Art work is cropped (See below figure red arrow)
  2. The coloring is reddened
  3. They can appear minty white

There are many reproductions floating around, especially on Ebay from unscrupulous dealers like BradBuried, tloceposters and many other unknowing sellers. These dealers all selling their posters primarily out of Rochester, New York. It is thought that these two dealers had access to the original printing plates, which is why they have been selling these reproductions for so long (see below reproduction from tloceposters).
