Stalin Lenin

[jonathancol]

I picked this one up on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/STALIN-LENIN-BA ... true&rt=nc

It is on poster paper (much like Tokion Suit). The printing is clean, the size is correct and it is definitely not new. It does not look like a copy to me, but is likely a paster.

Any opinions?

Thanks!

When I ran across that listing I thought it was an unsigned AP of the offset. The wiki says legitimate pasters exist.

[jonathancol]

Was the offset on thin paper?

I had seen a paster of this a while ago (maybe '09) on here that was legit. He had this one and the Andre with Giant below.

I vaguely remember seeing it pasted up as background, and if it wasn't... this image is so killer it should have made it into a paster,

If I remember correctly, the other ones I've seen on eBay that were from the signed edition of 300 said they were on thick stock. Here is one of the listings:

I found out who had the pasters and showed him this discussion. Hopefully he posts.

If it is thick, then this is definitely not the offset stock!

Good to know.

I have owned both versions. The thick stock was signed and numbered, and the paster was just signed. I was always under the impression that the pasters were the real deal and used for street work. I think a few of them were handed out and signed at different times. I gave it to a roommate years ago so it is not in hand

Yep in 09' these walked into my gallery by my friend Davey asking if I could get him some Obama money, had this tube postmarked 01 from Shepard and sandiego

All had edge damage from being shipped and stored rolled by themselves 3/3

So the vote is pasters thin and satin for Lenin/stalin



Glad to help

Thanks! So this one is legit!

Thanks all. This is definitely one to keep!

I can verify that I saw many of these pasters back in the day. My brother was an RA in college and one of the kids in his area was on the street team. He had a stack of these laying on his bed.

There's some pasters still plastered up at Tattoed mom's on south street in Philly!

I apologize for Stalin on the reply as I never mind Lenin a hand.
I have both the thin (with a little edge damage like Ajax pointed out) and a thick signed one. Yours looks legit. Nice score, enjoy!
