I also think it's the same poster. Like Patrick says, if you look at
the chin/neck area of the ebay photo, you see a strange line of
discoloration that corresponds to the tear in Rich's photos. I think
the seller may have conveniently cropped the photo just at the neck,
since I suspect the tear was worse beneath the neck. The seller's
photo of entire poster is so low res that it hides the defects. It's
also possible that the seller photoshopped the chin/neck area,
although I can't tell.
I agree that the seller is a horrible packer and needs to give a full
refund.

Comparing the pictures it looks very much like it is the same poster.
Tears at top edge left, and bottom edge right correspond.
Bottom vertical tear.
The one running down the centre from the top whether masked in
original pics, or it's extended since her pics were taken, dunno.
Cheers,
Rich

no Patrick
it's a pic of a poster she previously sold for $600 - a stock image.
she had no packing in the tube, it bounced back & forth destroying
the margins
moreover, she doesn't see the diff between the pic provided & item
delivered.. total ignorance
no communication, says sent a check,.,.,, yeah right.. don't you
see where that is headed??

yeah, Rich, looks like the tear through his face was there all along
and he did something to mask
it as the line is there in the closer face pic of the poster on
Ebay.
Great poster, sorry it's a bad experience.

hey folks
I have to post this one.. looks like I have been screwed by an ebay
seller who apparently used a stock image for a 1917 poster I won
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310099293533
the poster I received was shredded on both sides due to rotten
shipping and the tear which is shown as a few inches in the photo
was a 23 inch jagged tear
here are pics I took before I shipped it back
http://www.movieposterbid.com/0heart/
item was returned to the seller 3 weeks ago & as yet the seller has
not refunded my money
everyone should clearly avoid such a seller, especially as Paypal
has refused to refund my money - $250. (I'll be on the phone with
those a**holes shortly)
The seller frequently has silent posters and I have to presume she
is no more honest with those listings than she was with my win
