We might have discovered another "honest" EBAY seller of movie posters. I
completely agree with JR and Claude's thought. Just incredible. Al can be very
proud of himself.

Oh, OK... now I see it:
Aw, jeez, c'mon Al... you've been around far too long to be pulling stunts
like this. Are you deliberately trying to commit seller suicide or what? Is
it really worth the $50 or $60 bucks you might get for this -- to have so
many other potential buyers permanently crossing you off of their list of
sellers they will do business with by playing this silly game word game
of prevarication where you say you don't know... it might be... but you're
not sure... when any seller who has been in the business for even a year would
know FOR SURE that, whatever it is, it's not "original"?

HALF SHEEEEET.
Al, even this time 'round I have to think you are being full of sheeeeet
about the origins of this poster,
your knowledge of movie paper given your experience and the voices of
several experienced collectors
on the subject have to be taken seriously.
It's actually okay occasionally in making a wrong call on what something is.
We've all done it, we're all likely to do it at sometime in the future.
I don't think that so many experienced dealers and collectors have
somehow missed the existence of a legit
reissue HALF SHEET for this film that looks like this one.
The use of so many half-baked caveats of it might be this or it might be
that and I really don't know, etc, isn't becoming to any seller that
considers themselves a professional and would also like to be thought of
and treated themselves in that way.
