dario,
i would agree with you... a 57 dollar item is not going to increase
in value over 10 fold simply by having it backed. and with the number
of noir collectors that peruse ebay for items, the fact that it went
for 57.00 should be some kind of indictor as to it's value, dont you
think? so i would agree, that backed it could sell for 150-200
(including the backing charge).

$ 57.00, Fifty Seven! Do you guys think it would have done better
restored?? perhaps $700.00 as Michael loudly proclaim.
Personally I don't think 700.00, but perhaps 150.00 restored??
dario.

on ebay presently, a very honorable seller has an insert that

i own this 1940s beautiful insert for an awesome film and great
cast with great artwork. it is very rare, and i have not seen
another one until now. i paid about 160 on ebay about 5 years
with a snipe....and it was clearly a bargain. the auction houses
would get 700 plus plus plus today..
I AM SURE that this could easily be RESOLD by an unscrupulous
person, after it is placed on linen or paper-backing and sold as
"MINT" .
moral of the scenario: you never know what you get when something
was backed no matter who the seller is!!!! i always am willing to
pay more for unbacked!!!! ....this always invokes the war on
MOPO, linen versus non-linen. Perhaps, the studios missed a great
B MOVIE title in the 50s: WAR OF THE LINENBACKER PEOPLE
((( i choose not to start a war by naming the seller. the seller
is truly an honest seller, and has disclosed the defect. my
comments address the after-sale )))
