KC Monarch posters

I've seen a few lately. Some have a blank border on the bottom and others say....Colorcraft Poster Co Okla City OK

Any idea what year is which?

Thanks

Is this the one you are talking about?

Many, many copies of this exist. You probably see 10x more Aug 31 posters than all others combined.

I have read that this is from the early 1960's, (in 1962 Aug 31 was on a Friday). That said, I am not sure whether that fits with when Goose Tatum played for the Monarchs. (Wikipedia is not the most reliable source, but it has him last playing for the Monarchs in 1949, though I would question whether that meant he never played for them at a later time.)

Why would anyone think these are originals?

Where was it that someone mentioned these being "originals"?

True dat. As for the year on any of them, I'd offer a guess of somewhere around 1995 or so.

Are you referring to the one I posted?

I've stayed away from these because of the volume with that particular game on it, and without seeing them in person I don't feel confident that they are vintage. That said, there are definitely a decent number of them being sold as vintage.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
