Perhaps, but that suggests you can buy a tube, ship a poster back and forth to a restorer and have it cleaned up for $93. Seems like a lot of work for perhaps little (or no) profit.
Personally, I think the person who paid $57 overpaid by a considerable margin! This is just another example of whats happening to this hobby --the values of insignificant posters of insignificant movies with forgotten stars are plummetting! -------------- Original message -------------- From: Dario Casadei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I got curious, So I book marked This post and auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=350052707244 $ 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.

(honest seller with full disclosure) 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 ))) michael Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
