Thanks, guys. I appreciate all of the input on this issue about odd poster
sizes. Not really important probably in the larger scheme of
things.but really what a non-controversial discussion can be like on
MOPO amongst ladies and gentlemen of poster experience.

As someone with a limited budget for poster purchases, I have 3 beefs with

These are likely same year re-release cards. This happens with super popular
movies like Jaws, where they make a second trip through theaters in the same
year. This is really rare, as very few movies had same year re-releases.
It also sometimes means "revised", where they decided to change the ad
I agree. People with expensive posters shouldn't sell them through
eMoviePoster.com, because of the extended bidding. They should also look to
sell them through places that have house bidders that bid on lots of items
but only win 1% to 2% of the items, because that likely increases the final
price
