How long does it usually take for Mondo to ship orders out?

The word is out, there's money in making movie posters.

That is already coming to fruition. Not to mention knock offs are going to be inevitable and rife with a paper printed collectable that fetches what these do.

Exactly that's why I don't see the big hype that follow these. Also I don't trust the limited #'s on anything years ago I saw a guy on ebay selling a litho with the exact same # as a litho I already owned. Also whats to keep someone from taking one of these now high dollar pieces to a print shop and having it reproduced then selling them (yeah someone is going to say MOST print shops will say they won't reproduce but trust me a lot don't care).. that's the problem with paper collectibles like lithos and prints IMO too easy to counterfeit.

These aren't your standard posters or prints. They are silk screen so its going to be a lot harder to copy these and make them look authentic.

These aren't something you can just copy. Like Monster pointed out, these are screen printed using paints on specific paper. You'd need to have access to a silk screen facility, the original template or an exact duplicate, the right paper, and you'd have to know the exact type of paint used for each color on the print. If you can manage all of that and make it look authentic.... well sh!t, I may consider buying one since it would essentially be the real deal.

This is very true. My framer, who also has these industrial scanners with the bells and whistles, gets requests to reproduce pricey lithos all the time. He says that getting exact replicas aren't possible unless he either gets these super high res files to work with otherwise it'll look like a copy. The silk screen versions are even tougher as the ink is applied one at a time on special paper.

Who's going to bother copying them anyway. As Ronald said, there would be quite a bit of effort involved for a print that originally sold for $40 ??? Sure the resale can be significantly higher, but I would imagine most 'counterfieters' are going to focus their energies on something that commands a higher price to begin with.

TRUE, Like frankenstein.
