Re: [MOPO] the extra folds

[Craig Goebel]

TWO THINGS ABOUT WHICH I'M NOT ENTIRELY COMFORTABLE ARE DEALERS' STATEMENTS TO THE EFFECT THAT FOLDING INSERTS AND 1/2 SHEETS WAS "STANDARD" AND THE READY ACCEPTANCE  BY BUYERS OF THAT ALLEGATION AS PROOF OF THE TRUTH OF THE FACT ALLEGED WITHOUT SUBSTANTIATION.   IT SEEMS TO ME THE HEAVY GAUGE PAPER MILITATES AGAINST THE FACT THAT THEY WERE FOLDED AT THE PRINTERS. SO DOES THE FACT THAT SO FEW OF THE SAME GAUGE 30X40 AND 40X60 POSTERS ARE FOLDED. (I HAVE AROUND 20 OF THE 30X40 AND 40X60 POSTERS AND NONE ARE FOLDED.) HOW DID THEY GET SENT AROUND THEATRES UNFOLDED AND SMALLER POSTERS DID NOT, WHEN THE LATTER COULD HAVE FIT ROLLED IN THE SAME CONTAINERS AS THE BIG ONES?   BUT THEY MUST HAVE BEEN FOLDED BY SOMEONE, SO MANY ARE IN THAT CONDITION. I WONDER WHETHER MOST INSERTS AND HSs HAVE NOT JUST BEEN FOLDED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THEM STORED WITH LESS CARE FOR THE RESULTS OF DOING SO OR BY COLLECTORS LOOKING TO SAVE STORAGE SPACE.    CERTAINLY THESE FOLDS ARE DEFECTS - "STANDARD" OR NOT.   CRAIG, VANCOUVER ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael B To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:14 PM Subject: [MOPO] the extra folds i have about 4 inserts that each have two extra horizontal folds.   isn't it ironic that i find it more offensive on my 10/15.00 Compulsion poster, than on my $1800 Rebecca?    .....................and, extra folds on inserts seems to me to be the biggest undisclosed defect on that size poster.  Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
