hello
A client of mine asked me to buy for him three
items bradburied was offering via buy it now on ebay
Silence of the Lambs lobby card set http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3865693737&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
Godfather Two lobby card set http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3865692171&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest international one
sheet (rolled, with a totally different design)
This is my opinion so far:
Silence of the Lambs---this immediately looked too
white and the back of the cards really looked too bone white. A friend of
mine examined his set of these cards which he obtained at the time of the film's
release and compared his with these. His conclusion: "The copyright
information at bottom right is darker and slightly larger than the
lettering on my set....and the back of the cards are whiter than mine,
albeit equally mint."
On Monday, I am going to compare the Godfather 2
set which I was sent with another set obtained by a collector over 30 years
ago.
I am not meaning in any way to slander bradburied
here, since there can be differences of opinion about anything in movie posters,
but I do have a few questions for the mopo community about this:
(1) First of all, can someone provide me with
his name and address? This kind of information used to be easily
obtainable on ebay, but I have tried to go through the site map and I haven't a
clue how to find this out. (I originally paid him using
PayPal.)
(2) Although it is unusual to find a rolled
one sheet from the 70's, it is of course possible, and a careful examination of
this poster turns up nothing negative. The dimensions are a perfect 27 x
41" and there is no telltale blurriness or other printing deficiency, so
I am hopeful that this poster is authentic. But does anyone know
otherwise?
(3) I am certainly going to have to return at
least one of the items bradburied sent me. Does anyone know here if he
will make a refund in cases where the customer is not satisfied.
