My fellow MOPO-listas,
I recently acquired a real mixed bag of movie posters at a local estate
auction. There are some nice pieces such as a rolled R82 Raiders of the Lost
Ark 1-sheet and a linen-backed R48 Saboteur 1-sheet, but there are also some
virtually worthless examples such as a Brand o

Thanks for the identification. A R80 Midnight Cowboy is definitely not worth

re issue or not perhaps as a final option you could decoupage the
remnents onto pieceof wood as a interesting last homage sits such
