Hi Gary, I use Andale, but during a period when it was down, I gave Auctiva a try for a couple of weeks. I found it a little less easy to use and maybe a bit slower than Andale, which I have been using as far back as when it was Honesty and free. I did find Auctiva to be relatively easy to

The grading is irrelevant because the seller has given you a very clear picture. This is far more important than a poor, fair, good, etc. rating. Bruce H. gives you extremely fine pictures and tells it like it is with either frameable "as is" or "lesser", which means restoration required.

Definitely Fair. This poster has unfortunate placement of the Heads. If the missing paper in the center was in a field of green, rather than right in the center of Laughton's head, it would be considerably less of an issue. Evan. -- Original message --
