*Dave,
No need to try to pin me against fellow collectors and Linen backers. Of
course I don't think that.
The schematics are more intricate. Posters do travel, you know.
In the past I've sold a poster to collector A and a few years later the
same poster have come back to me from collector B for linen backing only
to to be sold on eBay to collector C.
Recently I had a local collector coming over with 6 posters for Linen
backing, all Bootleg all bought on eBay. He was pretty upset after I
told him that these are all fakes. To boot, I showed him the
authentication facts from MPA.
Not sure if we ever see him again.
End of the day, you do what ever you like. I personally think the less
bootlegs out there, the better.
Cheers,
dario.*

you aren't really giving the people on mopo or linen backers around
the world any credit are you? Expecting the worst from them. Are there
dishonest linen backers/restorers out there? Are there criminals on
mopo that would take the time and money (a lot of time and
money.....the 4 or 5 stamps we put on the back are not easy to remove
and linen backing is not cheap) for the ONE poster we are making
available to them? Highly unlikely.
*_Really really no reason to start circulating most hated SW bootlegs_*
Again, here are 7 reasons:
_Why are we doing this?_
1. It would be silly to destroy them (*we get requests for them all
the time - 31 so far since yesterday evening*). We did actually
consider burning them and filming the video for our website and
youtube (wouldn't that be neat!).
2. It is an extremely high quality rolled one sheet.....just as nice
as the original....in every way.
3. It is a much more affordable alternative (*FREE!*) compared to
buying an original rolled one (over $1000.00) or compared to buying
one of these bootlegs on ebay for over $100.00.
4. It will help to educate collectors.
5. Like it or not, they are a part of movie poster collecting history.
6. It could possibly help to diminish the market for them. Of course
it won't stop all newbies from getting stung on ebay (no one can stop
that I'm afraid).
7. Because we can. It is our little way of saying "Thank You" to the
movie poster collecting world!
