An original 1955 World Series Poster Picturing the Brooklyn Dodgers would be very rare, and could be worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, if original to 1955. I checked a few auction house archives, and came up empty. That type of rare.
Not rare are the many reproduction (Fantasy pieces) posters that are found on eBay, and sometimes these posters are pawned off as "original". They typically sell for about $10.-$15., and about $50. -$75 to people that have been scammed. These posters picturing the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers are 14" x 22", black and white with the words "World Series" and the date in red printing.
All to often collectors are mistakenly buying vintage memorabilia that is actually a good modern day reproduction of the original. Items that could fool the "experts" as well. See Related links below to a page to help you Identify the fakes from the real thing.
