Davem,
You're at the disadvantage of not knowing if the guy/gal who wrote
that eventually changed his/her mind and sold the poster to someone.
And I'm likely WAAAAY off on this but in a way, aren't the vast
majority of posters technically 'stolen' from the NSS?
Know there are mitigating circumstances since all that's past but
does the front of the poster say "Return to National Screen Service"
on it?
If so, perhaps the first guy could be seen as having stolen it from
NSS by not returning it so you may be morally off the hook.
Which begs the question, did YOU get a steal on it?

Here is a good question and a situation I have never run across:
I recently acquired some 80’s folded 1-sheets and on the back of a
Rocky III poster was written in large letters across the whole
poster: “STOLEN FROM (name withheld) CINEMA!”
I have never seen this on the back of a poster before.
I resell a lot of my posters so the question is: If you owned this
poster, would you list this for sale or since you are now the owner
of the poster and you’re reselling the item, does it infer you
stole the poster?
Just curious on this!
Thanks,
Dave Smith
