    The Raleigh 98 poster, with the 3 monkeys on the bike, was bootlegged heavily. I believe you can tell on those by looking at the color of the spokes on the front wheel. The fakes had a bluish color I think.

    More importantly, the fakes didn't have the Ames Bros copyright logo in black ink in the lower left corner....which makes it more a reprint than a fake to someone who knows what they are looking at. (not an attack on you, just a generalization of the unknowning buyer)

    Help please......... I think the Melbourne 98 poster you are talking about is the one I bought.
    Have there been previous fakes of this poster??
    I don't know if the seller (from Washington) is a member here or not but he seemed legit, however I still have got it yet.
    He said he sent it on the 2nd of December, US to AUS, still not here 22 Dec although it could be down to the Xmas rush.
    Comments..

    EDIT - just looked on EB - my sale is marked 'counterfeit'.. so I haven't even received my 'fake' poster. This was my f@#@#n Xmas present, merry freakin xmas

    No known instances of this poster I am aware of in the last eight years or more...

    I've responded with a detailed reply to your thread on EB, but feel free to pm me here if you need any further help. Good luck and try not to worry for now, it may yet all be okay. Grab a beer, wait and see 8-)

    The best thing to do to prevent ending up with fakes is to chase down the signed & numbered copies. They are usually a bit more expensive, but there are certainly less of those around that are fake. The unsigned copies are the ones that are easy to fake. The signature also provides a way to figure out if it is fake or not, especially if it is a good fake.

    I bought a hartfort 98 once that was fake. Luckily I got my money back.

    Poster has arrived finally. Looks Ok but does not have the large bottom border, but I suppose different runs could be cut differently. Will try and upload some photos soon.
    Does anyone have some good quality pics I could compare to?

    Mine's in a frame so not sure if the borders are the same but the colors look pretty spot-on. One of my faves... "Frogmen Invade Melbourne Park."

    I've had several comments on expresso beans that it is the real deal. Thanks to anyone who replied.
    Cheers Matt.
