The grading is irrelevant because the seller has given you a very
clear picture. This is far more important than a poor, fair, good, etc.
rating. Bruce H. gives you extremely fine pictures and tells it like it is
with either frameable "as is" or "lesser", which means restoration
required.
Definitely "Fair".
This poster has unfortunate placement of the "Heads". If the missing paper in
the center was in a field of green, rather than right in the center of
Laughton's head, it would be considerably less of an issue.

Now, I've always wondered why on Earth everyone praises
dealers for doing this (in fact, it should probably be the
opposite)??? They don't give you a hi-res photo so you can see defects

Someone mentioned a while ago that it is best to store posters flat
and not in the plastic sleeves. You recommend them. Have you had any
stored a long time either way? I store my posters flat in architect's plan
files without plastic in between. I have also had posters in frames for

The trouble is that people have not accepted a uniform grading system and
even if they did its still subjective as what one person sees as excellent

didn’t actually recommend PLASTIC sleeves. I’m sure he knows
that plastic is not inert nor archivally safe and the oils in it will actually help
to contribute to a poster’s demise in the long run.
Certainly he recommended Mylar-type
sleeves for anyone who wishes to store their p

have two collectors standing at a table looking at a poster and one can grade
it very differently from the other.

I think the seller of the SUSPECT half sheet did a good job providing
a very sharp image (and amazingly, he did not have to cut off part of
the image due to his small scanner, etc). I'll even accept his "fair
