Re: [MOPO] Should restorers sign their work?

Restorers shouldn't sign their work, but they should sign a letter, that lays out IN DETAIL what work they performed on the poster, plus a before-restoration photo should accompany this 'restoration certificate'. Now THAT would help a lot, especially if you don't have a chance to view a

Sean I'm curious on how exactly you came to this conclusion based on the two set comparison? Reason I'm questioning is that my Alien lobby card set was the second or third acquirement into my collection. It was given to me by a friend who managed a theater. He had about 10 sets he saved

Presumably this is the lead-in to charging for use of Turbolister (long mooted) and making the laborious SYI function either cheaper or free... probably free to lure back their dwindling base of small sellers - the bread and butter they so roundly dismissed in their misguided bent on world
