Mr MOTOCROSS posters

[Montynut]

It happens that Vince is a friend that's why I know who has the art work. I shall speak with both people and find out the facts before I say or promise anything.

Well that would be awesome

I reckon that reprinting the posters would devalue originals. It's doubtful that Vincenzo would approve such a move unless there was a quid in it for him.

[Montynut]

agree on both counts Firko

"I reckon that reprinting the posters would devalue originals"
Best I get a list of the ones I bought and get them back on the market quick smart before the window closes.
I have listed all the MX Action & Trail and Track mags with month/year and important tests/articles.
Just need to do the same for Dirt Bike.
Problem is I get going through them but get lost for an hour reading the old tests and reports

sorry Firko but that list is incorrect.. The 79 winner was Gunter.

Ooops, I just cut and pasted it off some random website, the same one where I got the poster photo, I should have double checked it. It just goes to show that not everything on the 'net is gospel.
                                                                   1977.

Too true.. I love the 70's MR MX posters. In fact I loved the MR MX series back then when all the stars came to race Tivoli, massive crowds and great racing.

This is quite interesting I think.

Firko I would have thought that the existence of copies would suggest there is demand for the originals (otherwise why bother replicating?) and increase their value to a collector - not diminish value. Works with books, art, cars etc.

Vincenzo won't make money by doing nothing - unless he owns a stash of original edition posters   . By releasing a limited edition reproduction run of good quality posters he might find he can make a few quid. Don't see the value in doing nothing with the original artwork  . When sold the posters probably didn't claim to be limited editions but if they were then he probably shouldn't run off more copies as the purchasers could claim breach of contract  

In Australia unless copyright has expired you are not allowed to reproduce any image of that artwork (including on the web) unless you have permission of the copyright or moral right owner. Even if you own the piece of art you do not own the right to copy it.
