i agree with you jim.. this type of representation does border on
fraud, as an 8x10 XEROX copy of a black and white publicity photo is
not a poster, whatsoever.
the main thumbnail image of the lobby card should be removed and the
clay figure put in it's place.

Ed,
The Saucer Man armature puppet is very nice in and of itself -- but
why are you are presenting the auction in such a misleading way?
You did straight-forward approach with the auction for the War of
the Worlds armature puppet, so why not do the same with the Saucer
Man?
As it now stands, I find the lead thumbnail picture and headline
description for the Saucer Man auction to be perilously close to
fraud. On the auction listing and the top of description page it
looks and reads like you are offering an original Title Card lobby
card 'poster' with this armature puppet. You are using a thumbnail
picture of the Title Card to headline the auction. But what you are
really offering is an 8x10 production still from the movie. So why
does it say "poster" in your headline and "Lobby Card" in the
description? What you are offering is a photo -- NOT a "lobby card"
or a "poster"in any sense of those words. And what you are offering
is certainly not the imagery of the Title Card picture that you use
to headline the listing with. And I'm certain you know all of this.
Technically, both the use of the image of the Title Card in this
way and the use of the words "poster" and "Lobby Card" when it is
really a photo are a violation of EBay listing guidelines.
