T200 Fatima Premiums

[trib01]

Anyone here have a T200 Fatima Premium or have experience with them? Are the exactly the same as the regular issues as far as paper and quality? Did they come with a mount of any kind? I purchased one, and although it has not yet arrived I am curious to make some comparisons just to be safe. The one coming to me is framed, but I will be expecting it thoroughly when it arrives. Assuming it hasn't been trimmed in any way that can't be seen behind the mat - mine does measure correctly so that's a bonus. To my knowledge they were never reproduced that I have been able to find.

Good luck. Those are exceedingly rare and usually in wretched condition when they are found due to size. If that’s the one you bought in the picture, it looks way too clean to be real without anything else to go by.

Looks like it's matted and framed. That could be covering up a lot of corner and edge wear.

No folds, creases, marks anywhere on there? I don’t think so.

I completely agree with everything said...Should be easy to tell if it is real once received especially if they are exactly like the regular versions only bigger.

To answer one of your direct questions, these did come with a mount though quite a few have been trimmed down. That mount extends the image out about 1" in all directions. For comparison, here are links to a few other Pittsburgh ones sold by REA over the years.
