Michael is correct. Everytime a cheap listing day comes on
the scene, sellers like fdavidm bring out their overpriced posters with a huge
list to scroll through and I sometimes don't even want to look that week.
However, these sellers only look for cheap listings (to show their overpriced

The "horrible horrible" ALL ABOUT EVE insert has been purchased by
myself and Channing Thomson as a co-investment.
No, it's not perfect, but it will look very nice when we have it
repaired. This is the very best poster on this title on this grea
film and it is not easy to find.

hello mopo..not much comment about the heritage auction...i was amazed at
the $4000+ price on the r49 wizrd of oz wicked witch lobby...maybe just a
bidding war?...but if not i'm ready to sell mine...so if somebody out in

Kirby and Channing,
Congrats on a smart buy -- although it will take a really skilled restorer to
fix those "brown spots", particularly in the blue-tinted photo (restorers hate
fixing monochrome photos, they don't leave any wiggle room) but it can be done.
I fail to understand what all the cree
Michael,
Jeez... you guys really have gone off on a witch hunt. Do a
little research on Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 and calm down a bit. While
this is a terrible photo to try and judge condition on, there's a very good
chance that most or all of the intensity and apparently obvious nature

since i am from the school that prefers NO WORK on posters except the way bruce uses linen for reinforcement without restoration, i had no interest in it.
i hope that when the restoration is donethe sellers will not sell it a

BUT for me, the seller would not have added that the poster had restoration.
Restoration MUST be disclosed. Otherwise, disappointment ensues.
Now the description is somewhat improved. Now, the buyer has cause to make further inquiry.

Michael,
I agree that if a poster has been restored or
"touched-up" that fact should be disclosed in the description, but this
seller was hardly alone in failing to do that. And, realistically, if buyers are
going to start universally rejecting bidding online on "restored" or
"touched-up"
my final word today, consistent with what i have stated before.
DISCLOSE, DISCLOSE, DISCLOSE. DO NOT avoid saying anything that would surprise the buyer when he opens his package. If you state the extent of the repair/restoratiom, you have done all you you can do.
