Sue is probably waiting until their regular newsletter to make an announcement,
but there is BIG, HUGE, GIGANTIC news in the ongoing civil lawsuits (which will
definitely affect the upcoming criminal suit) in the Haggard fake case.

I guess those who said that we have to give this restorer the "benefit of

Outside of Heritage and emovieposter most 3-sheets are not linenbacked. The
vast majority are unbacked. Meaning if they are going to be displayed they must
be backed, restoration or not. That adds to their ultimate cost.

Bruce --- I'm not taking sides in this one but your logic is flawed. A
forgery is defined as "the process of making, adapting, or imitating
objects with the intent to deceive." If Jaime Mendez's claim is actually
true in that he didn't know that is was the intent of Kerry Haggard to
sell these work
I'm so lucky to be driving distance from Sue Heim so I don't worry about
framing 3-sheets. I have also had some great linenbacking from Sylvia and
Susan Olson. I'm thrilled I can now find deals on 3-sheets. However, I've not
found bargains on the ones I want.

Thank you Toochis.
Yes, I do frame 3 sheets for wholesale cost to other collectors. A full
archival museum frame for a 3 sheet is $299 at my shop. We do about 3-5 of them
a week. As a movie poster collector myself, it is always fun to see what
other's collect and boy do they look great

while I applaud Jaime for coming forward with a mea culpa, I would
also say that due to the number of copies of certain pieces he

I think 6-sheets are awesome especially with cool artwork. I have a huge

was a pain delivering and hanging it. It's in our office and I can't tell you

I wasn't going to post this, but after Michael's Tiger Woods post, I
thought what the heck... since you all get a kick out of ridiculous item
listings, I thought this was rather odd..
I would wager that the larger size and space required to display them
(restored or not), is the cause of lesser interest to many collectors.
