Hi Bruce, First, it's another great testimonial to the service you provide, prior to anyone bidding or buying (supersize enlargements), although to be fair, your buyer who wrote you either has never bought from or visited the Heritage, Cinemasterpieces sites (and now MPE), to name but 3, that

While I'd far rather sellers made a concerted effort to accurately represent lots, I can perhaps forgive a little tweak for improved presentation. Though when something looks too vivid I think most collectors can easily spot it, so it seems a pointless exercise. Besides, aren't collectors

Kerry, All super-sized images are not the same! Some *STILL *don't let you see tiny imperfections like very small tears, faint smudges, etc. It has to do with the technology of scanning and the settings on the scanner. When I buy from anywhere online, I want what I see online to match what I see
