JR You mention "silk purse from a...", perhaps, but when it is the only sow's ear on earth, it is assuredly, in many people's eyes, a silk purse!
Concerning including an image of the title card next to the half sheet, not a bad idea but where does that end? Should we end up trying to offer comparisons on all we sell. This is exactly why we continue to offer the service of high res images forever on our site and are the only poster seller that does so. As Heritage has always suggested, educate yourself on anything you purchase. Thus the reason for the link to comparables on every page of our auctions. This is also something that only Heritage offers to their bidders.

But I guess I'm just being naive... despite the cries of shock and horror over the last few days, "let the buyer beware" is still the Golden Rule in our society. -- JR Douglas Ball wrote: Side by side, yes, but when the auction took place it looked damn good!
