I'd keep the one slightly faded on the orange. It will display better. FRANC
-----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 9:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] Which one to keep? collectors know this dilemma: you have a poster, see another copy on ebay, buy it because you believe it is in better condition than you own presently............ Gentleman's Agreement seems to be a hard title to find in excellent condition posters. (I have a very good cond OS framed.) Last summer I purchased privately a VG codition half sheet folded in quarters. As I said, VG condition but smudges/dirt on the borders, and slight fold line loss of paper in the orange area. No missing paper. A few, non-offensive tears. Overall..........totally satisfied. Two weeks ago on ebay I bought at a great price a rolled half sheet: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=350146022820&ss PageName=STRK:MERFB:IID&ih=017&ih=019&ih=019&ih=016&ih=011&ih=009&ih=017 &ih=024&ih=017&ih=003&ih=010&ih=010&ih=010&ih=010&ih=010&ih=010&ih=010&i h=010> &rd=1&item=350146022820&ssPageName=STRK:MERFB:IID&ih=017&ih=019&ih=019&i h=016&ih=011&ih=009&ih=017&ih=024&ih=017&ih=003&ih=010&ih=010&ih=010&ih= 010&ih=010&ih=010&ih=010&ih=010 (the shipping was only 7.20 when i addressed this with seller, so don't think i paid the amount listed) The seller was very, very honorable. Seller is NOT as a poster collector or dealer. We exchanged very good feedback. The poster arrived, and when i placed the two side by side, the orange on the rolled poster seemed to have faded slightly. WHICH SHOULD I KEEP? the rolled excellent condition with slight fading on the orange area only (the yellows and blues and sepias are exact on both) or the poster folded in quarters? thanks, michael _____ Which stars will make the biggest headlines in 2009?
