Michael,
Thanks. Yes, the tip may well prove useful when I start listing books

to $4.00 shipping is the dumbest "better idea" from Ebay ever. If they
were going to set a limit at all, one would have thought they would have

I agree, a 6-sheet normally wouldn't "make sense" to forge in most
cases. I suspect that Kerry had a well-heeled client who was looking
specifically for a 6-sheet for A&C Meet F and was willing to pay a big
premium to get it, so Kerry had Jamie make one to order. Still, the mind

Sorry for the delay. I'm out of town and just got to the email.
You're thoughts are well-taken JR, to an extent. It's hard to translate the
theory that all posters are mass produced and given endless distribution, to
posters throughout the world. For instance, this is not the case with Japane
"all of the groups"? For movie posters, what is there other than NS4, Mopo and
MPF?
And, again, if we were limited to just movie posters, I would be the first to
agree that there's no need for another forum beyond the three that already
exist. But we are not so limited.

Sean, do you know if these Creature cards are made in the same way as the

This is the first poster for this film to come through my hands so I hadn't

Thanks, Peter, for your input. It's not a restoration error, btw, the 1-sheet
