    why the hell would you think that's a good idea for a username?

    I think PoonPoon is a great username!

    Just shot him a message asking if the posters were real. Here's his response:

    "ive been getting hammered all day apparantly. To give myself the benefit of the doubt, by what i paid for em; the indy and knoxville ones definitely are. raleigh one is under suspision. i can send you any pix as i have been for the past 2 hours."

    This thread is really killing him.

    A fella was selling unlicensed Radiohead calendars outside of their show on Sunday.....when I asked him if they were licensed, he sort of froze...perhaps he thought I was a Fed.

    He just sent me high res photos of the Raleigh and Noblesville posters. The Raleigh is definitely a fake. That little flower/sun near the top hat is supposed to have a yellow circle in the middle. On his, it's all orange.

    He seems like a decent guy, and I tend to think he wasn't aware that this one was fake.

    I can't believe people are shocked by the fakes. I am sure it is very wide spread. Think about it, very low cost to reproduce, and very, very high return.

    They have done it in the sports memorabilia business for years.

    i'm certain of my '98 Raleigh's authenticity, but when i read your post above i completely went blank and couldn't recall ever looking for that additional yellow paint so i had to take a look at my poster,...sure enough, the yellow dot appears there, so thanks for the mild shock ;):)

    watch out for these ebay listings. i think the 98's are a fake - the same as ones that were being sold in a flea market up in Canada.

    the eBay seller in question, who has been discussed/documented at length over on BRY (as poonpoon mentioned), uses/used the eBay username "pjammer2005". his name is Chris and he's located in Mississauga, ON (just outside Toronto). his feedback appears here:

    http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=pjammer2005&ftab=AllFeedback&sspagename=STRK:ME:UFS

    quite simply, he began taking all the authentic PJ posters in his collection and scanning them, after which he had the image printed on a piece of cardboard. Ames were made aware of his counterfeit posters and i believe he was served with a Cease & Desist order from Ames' lawyers. not to mention, as word spread about what he was doing he was having a harder time unloading said fake posters, regardless of the fact he was actually admitting they were fakes and selling them for $30 a pop. what's truly interesting is he purchased an authentic '98 Raleigh in July/'08, so who knows if he's still producing these fakes and flipping them on the DL. MANY of his fakes are in circulation, and while it's quite difficult to distinguish between an image field in a genuine silk-screen and a counterfeit poster unless the poster is in front of you, the tell-tale signs are the wrong dimensions of the fake print on the cardboard, in the case of this "pjammer2005" character anyway,...

    Yeah and the inner white border on the fake is really thick- that's what throws off the positioning of the bike tire and left foot so badly.

    good thinking Niko....Were the 98's ever signed though? my Raleigh isnt and there isnt a tab on eb to an ap version

    still waiting on that second tube buddy, getting concerned myself now, although they do come registered and needing signature. I might shoot them another email and see if they can track it......

    Im not sure how they did it with the 98's. Many were signed and many were not. I think emailing bigpop would be the way to go. Report back here if you get any juicy info:)

    The tube gotta be close by now. I would shoot them an email if you havent already.

    I have 5 '98s, all unsigned, acquired either through Ten Club or from the shows themselves.
