Kirby and Todd, I did get some info and was told on MOPO or by MPB this was a long time restorer. And no one had had a problem with his work in the past. I just don't think it will be good for MPB.com to have a major scam in the first big auction. I would not have used this company if it hadn't been for the hype of the MPB auction. I know better now, but I don't think I will use MPB for a few years till there are some track records. Vintage Cinemart is still listed, as best I can tell, an active member on MPB. I hope that means there is a chance.

I have to absolutely echo what Todd is saying here. Just because someone says that they are a restorer doesn't mean that they should be trusted with expensive and/or rare posters. Restorers should be fully insured and should have otherwise earned people's trust.
