Kerry Haggard, 47, of Commerce was sentenced Monday to six and a half years in prison for selling fake horror movie posters and lobby cards which he represented over the Internet as authentic vintage collectibles.

Haggard pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud in Manhattan federal court in October, and was sentenced this week by U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon.

According to the indictment, Haggard made and sold posters that he purported to be original horror movie collectibles. Using action sites like eBay, he sold and traded the items from January 2006 to August 2009. He used a New York-based printing company to make high-quality copies of horror movie cards or posters from either hard copies or digital scans of pieces he provided. He then used a restoration company to attach the copies to lobby card stock and alter the resulting product to make it look as real as possible.

He was able to sell numerous fake lobby cards and posters for movies such as "Frankenstein" and "Son of Frankenstein," at prices ranging from $500 to $5,000 to two dozen victims. Haggard also traded his fake reproductions to other sellers who gave him real lobby cards and/or posters in return.

The victims learned of the fraud in various ways, including after providing the lobby card to a restoration expert, or after consigning the piece to a large auction house for sale.

As a result of his fraud, the victims lost more than $1.3 million in money and property.

In addition to the prison term, McMahon sentenced Haggard to three years of supervised release, imposed a $1.38 million forfeiture judgment, imposed a restitution order for $1.38 million, and ordered him to pay a $100 special assessment fee.
