i intend to bid VERY high on 2 posters. BOTH ARE FRAMED. but, i can always ask theat they be shipped unframed............... frames never match what you have in your own house, anyway.
my bigger criiticism is that the descriptions are very UNDESCRIPTIVE.
DO ANY OF MY FELLOW MOPOer friends want to bid in my behalf ??????????????????????

I am planning on bidding on a number of pieces in this sale, but you should all take note of two things:
---About 80% of the posters are framed. You will have to factor in the costs of shipping framed posters, if you are not from southern California.
---About 80% of the posters are framed. You will have to factor in the costs of shipping framed posters, if you are not from southern California.
---A good many of the posters have significant color fading. Louis Leithold, who was a very rich man but an extremely frugal one, refused to pay the extra charge for UV plexiglass when he had these pieces framed, and, as a result, a lot of the posters have been damaged by the California sun.
Having said all this, there are obviously some fine pieces in the sale which have no condition problems, but LET THE BUYER BEWARE!!
