I think Todd's right on this. As a collector of political campaign buttons, I have experience with red fading very easily. I'm very careful about exposing red & orange to any light.
Also, I sold a Vertigo poster a couple of years ago to a dealer. I was very proud of the fact that it was deep red/orange. It was in great shape. I got $2300 for it. I think I'd ask $4k for it these days. BTW, I just received 2 Bonnie & Clyde door panels that I bought from Todd after they failed to sell on ebay. (I was as surprised as Todd was.) I was delighted to pick these up for the opening bids. They were in great shape! And they were so well packaged that I almost gave up trying to open them. Thanks Todd, a great seller!
