Um... right.
And if you were decorating YOUR home theater and had allocated $57
for the artwork -- would you buy THAT? I don't think so!
And you can't be telling me that you would expect to sell that to
someone decorating a college dorm room? There really aren't that
many Norma Shearer fans in the dorms!

we have an antique shop and poster gallery I have to tell you that
80% of our posters whether they are $10.00 or $1,000 are not sold
to collectors per se (although some of the buyers become
collectors). They are purchased for the graphics to decorate a home
theater, a game room or just a college dorm room.

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!

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??

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 )))
