You know, I think the general problem is that 'getting away with it'
does NOT make it alright. Personally, I'm really tired of peoples
behavior. There is a lack of honesty, common sense, character, and
people who behave properly are considered weak.
That's pathetic.
Does it make you a 'good business person' to behave dishonestly or a
jerk? On my death bed, I will rest easy knowing I didn't patronize
others to make myself feel better, didn't sue everyone I could have
sued just because I could have, didn't rip off innocent, trusting
people and smirk to myself about my 'cleverness', AND taught my
children and grandchildren how to decipher a mensch from a weakling.

AND TO THINK YOU HAVE WRITTEN ME PRIVATELY IN THE PAST TO CONSIGN TO

last year i purchased from an unknowing seller on ebay a ROLLED/
UNFOLDED faded half sheet of GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT. I am sure he
did know it was faded, because of many items, it was his only
poster. I left him good feedback, anyway. When i compared it to
the FOLDED one i own, i saw the discolorization. SO, when i re-
listed it, i DISCLOSED THE FADING. i ended up with a loss of about
9.00 after ebay/paypal fees. BUT I WAS HONEST.

michael.......it is apparent that you have a reading comprehension
problem as we already answered your questions here on mopo and even
once on nsfge.....here they are again:
the poster is a uniform color. the lighting we use is sometimes
uneven....and in this case it was. It is not darker/lighter in any
area.......that is just our lighting.
the person who restored it only uses grease pencils when he restores
a poster.....he does not airbrush........he used the closest color
he had. If he did use an airbrush I'm sure it would look "better".
yes....the many creases are still visible..........we actually say
so in the description and we included a super large photo so any
potential buyer can see what they are actually getting.

I asked for a link as soon as I heard a backer/dealer wanted it sold
by another dealer. I took a close look at the large picture and
there is web and creases throughout the poster.
This is not easy to asses from a picture and I could be totally
wrong. But there is a chance that this poster went through a bleach
bath and things did not go to well, which would explain the wash out
of colors and the possibility that the paper got burned in to a pulp
stage. That would explain why there is creases and criss cross touch
up patterns throughout the poster. To me it looks like the poster
and paper is in rough shape.
I have been suggesting that there are other problems with this
poster. You see this with the enlargement feature. While fading is
one of the worst disasters, the defects of this poster is not
limited to just that. We can guess, like VintageMovirArt stated,
as to the need for crisscross touch up patters. THOSE ARE DEFECTS!!!!
But....i have suggested that those touch-up patterns reveal
something: since the touch-ups are a different color/shade of
orange---->>>DONT YOU THINK IT FADED AFTER THE RESTORATION.
AND DO YOU AGREE THAT THE SHADING IS DIFFERENT FROM ONE SIDE AND
FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND SIDE TO SIDE OF THE IMAGE????
