>From Heritage's description of this poster:
This poster has had extensive restoration. The original portion of the poster
includes the image of the monster, the "FR" in Frankenstein and the portrait of
Dwight Frye. The rest of the poster has been painted in. This does constitute a
large section of the poster, however, it is interesting to observe that the
majority of the poster is a white background. The restoration was expertly done
by Carol Tincup. Now, that being pointed out, one has to keep in mind that this
is the only half sheet that has ever turned up on this title so if you're in
the market for that format, this is the only one that is known to exist. As is
we grade the poster in fair condition but has an "apparent" grade of Fine on
paper. This was one of the cornerstone pieces in the Collection of Johnny
Ramone. Johnny had always wanted an original poster from the 1931 release of
Frankenstein and, with the addition of this half sheet to his collection, he
achieved that goal. Fair on Paper. Estimate: $25,000 - $35,000.

I wonder if Jaime's studio was the studio who recreated the Frankenstein
HS??? I always thought when that was excepted and sold by Heritage, that it was
going to open a whole can of worms to our field.
