when i made my post, i did not think in terms of items lost (in transit, or the scenario you described).
in those cases, the finder might think this old ripped torn paper in worthy of a dumpster.? andrea........i don't dare ask you?to rub salt in your wound by announcing the titles............?? michael Horror story... When Alan and I were first married, we took a family trip up north to vacation and get some of his posters to bring down to Florida. ?The girls were like 6 and 7. ?We arrive back home (airport) and he lays his tubes down to fetch a cab. ?It is midnite. ?We get the luggage into the trunk, I put the girls in the back seat. ?Alan jumps in and we leave. We each thought the other had the tubes!!! ?Three MAJOR and RARE and FINALLY RESTORED magic posters. ?Huge posters. ?I felt someone find them and their greed was overwhelming!!! ?What a horrible chill it sent through me. ?Alan thought it was MY fault and that I should have paid attention to the posters and not my little girls (at the airport, at midnite). ? He had to go to therapy for it. ?The therapist convinced him it wasn't my fault and that's what people with kids do. ? We've never seen those pieces again, at any auctions or any of his friends, so we haven't yet replaced them and it's been over 15 years. ?Figure over $50,000. It makes me sick to think of that! ?Gee, thanks for the plop down memory lane, Michael!!!

ANY HORROR STORIES ??? (((FINGERPRINTS ON POSTERS:? on this subject, i own both gorgeous, rare?half sheets of 1934 IMITATION OF LIFE that i bought from heritage about 5 years ago.? they each have small border areas of india ink stains.? those are like fingerprints, which markings will forever be in heritage's website and their printed catalogue.? No one will be able to sell them publicly.............BUT most posters do not have these documented "fingerprints" unless you have photographed your items with close-ups.) michael?
