Opinions on Hobbit cast poster

Hello,

I am new to this community and really like what I've seen here, lots of great tips and knowlege. Wish I had known of this site/forums sooner. Anyway I recently purchased a cast autographed poster for the film "The Hobbit" on ebay from seller "worlwidegraphs" (found a post here on these forums with someone who seems to think he's very legit). I have had some reservations about it being authentic since getting a PSA quick opinion of "likely not genuine", and now contine to question it now that its in my possession. Some of the signatures look very accurate compared to stuff I've seen online, while some (Andy Serkis, Martin Freeman) are not as clear. Additionally the quality of the poster has made me suspicious, it's on what seems to be fujifilm photo paper and very slightly blurry . I guess its possible the poster was printed but the signatures are legit.

Here is a link to the auction page. Now that I have it I could also post photos of it myself if necessary. Being a novice, I would certainly appreciate any tips or opinions from more experienced members. Thanks

Those comic con posters were released in limited quantities, and the posters themselves without signatures are collectible. Most likely they took a comic con poster and had copies printed to get signed, you probably have a copy.

The seller states that he/she will refund your money if it doesn't pass PSA or JSA, if that is your threshold for keeping it, I would recommend sending it in to either of the two.

Thanks for the reply and the background info on the posters, helped clarify the reason for the paper and the slightly "off" image quality.

Yes I likely will be sending it in to one of them soon enough. I just wanted to see if anyone here had any opinions on the likelihood of the signatures being genuine, or had previous experiences with this seller.
