Here’s the info of a person selling PJ poster knockoffs online. I purchased one from this guy after a fraudulent listing on ebay, the $77 one from 11/09. Don’t know what can be done about it, but wanted to pass along the info. To answer the question someone asked earlier. The telltale sign of a knockoff of this particular poster is the lack of artist info going up the left border and a small white ring under the band's name. I saw that this guy just sold another knockoff for $160 on ebay. Be careful!

    That's why there's so many showbox 2004 around! Buying from the "store" for $20 is one thing but the same poster on eBay for more than $20 is another thing :(

    It's another reason why I & many other's never shop for poster's on eBay.

    how do you do then? Straight from the artist and over EB? Sometimes (99% of the time) people over EB put outrageous prices for even the most unwated posters that is ridiculous. So the only other way is trades and have a fast trigger to buy from the artist :(

    it is disappointing that the only way to assure you get what you pay for with posters is either, at a show, through Brad (or the artist's site) or by someone you trust on the boards.

    I buy straight from the artist. Straight from the offical band's website or distrubuter who is selling the official rock or offical art prints. If it's an old print i'm trying to find, i'll try asking the artist & pm a few friends for help. That's about it! :)

    so simple yet so wise, but I don't have anyone to pm! I'm not D (you) :P

    I spotted this auction about a week ago but it was his other sales that caused me to draw suspicion. I am a big Bo Jackson fan and was searching for "THE BALL PLAYER" Bo Jackson poster. The poster has been out of print for over 15+ plus years and this guy was selling a bunch of them as "MINT". Then I looked at all of his other items for sale and they were all older posters in "perfect, flawless condition"

    When browsing through his other items he had for sale, I noticed he was selling the Showbox print. That is when the caution flag came up and I knew this guy was fishy
