Kirby and Todd,
I did get some info and was told on MOPO or by MPB this was a long time
restorer.
And no one had had a problem with his work in the past. I just don't think
it will be good for MPB.com to have a major scam in the first big auction.
I would not have used this company if it hadn't been for the hype of the
MPB
auction. I know better now, but I don't think I will use MPB for a few
years
till there are some track records. Vintage Cinemart is still listed, as
best
I can tell, an active member on MPB. I hope that means there is a chance.
Thanks,
Brek

I have to absolutely echo what Todd is saying here.
Just because someone says that they are a restorer
doesn't mean that they should be trusted with
expensive and/or rare posters. Restorers should
be fully insured and should have otherwise earned people's trust.
