FAKE STIK, by treweman on Dec 24, 2015 15:17:10 GMT 1, I own one of the smaller Sleeping Baby prints on matte finish paper, and unless the seller is using a photo he/she stole from someone else, this is most definitely not as advertised. The baby on the matte print is much closer to the bottom border than this one. While I can't say for sure that this isn't the more common, and larger, poster on glossy paper that was available to more than just the hospital staff, that isn't what the seller claims. Note, too, that in the description we are given the dimensions with frame rather than the dimensions of the print itself. This would begin to confirm whether it is the poster or matte finish print, as the poster is the larger of the two. I am also bothered by the blue background. If the ebay image is enlarged, it seems as if the blue is not consistently deep, as the left side appears lighter than the right. While this could be due to photography skills or jpegs, given everything else, it is yet another red flag. So ... At best, this is the larger and more common poster being masqueraded as the smaller and very rare matte finish print, or it is a complete fake. Given all the evidence (previous sales, misrepresentation, etc.), I'm going with fake.

FAKE STIK, by Dr Plip on Dec 24, 2015 16:02:34 GMT 1, I'd be concerned by anyone selling loads of the same print but pre-framed and mounted. Why would anyone have the same print and framed multiple times.
