Empire Strikes Back International Insert

80smoviefan

I'm a newbie and I hope I did well here perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. I just picked up this Empire Strikes Back International Insert. It has been backed in acid free conservation paper and it doesn't appear to be cropped but the coloring seems kinda off to me. What do you guys think? When I get it in the mail I will post pics.

I've auctioned 8 of those for between $150 and $764. How does the coloring of your compare to the coloring of the 8 at the below link?

From the auction pictures I feel like the colors are similar. Your thoughts? Are there any other ways to detect a fake? This being my first foray into posters I wanna be sure I got the real deal.

If you bought it from "Mrs Miniver" (the watermark on your image), then it is 100% real. He doesn't sell fakes.
