Yeah. It's obvious that the bottom third was taken from the one sheet
(or maybe something even smaller) and simply enlarged many hundred
percent -- the little dots of the original printing process are *huge*
at the bottom of this 3-sheet; look at the binoculars and James
Stewart's left hand. Also note that the borders of the blow-up portion
don't match up with the borders of the rest of the poster. And that the
color, brightness and contrast ratios don't even come close to the
original parts of the poster. The faces in the bottom third are fuzzy
and washed out.
As is, I couldn't see anyone wanting to pay more than $200 or $300,
tops. Given the large amount of wall space that 3-sheets take up to
display, I wouldn't want this Frankensteinian patchwork job at all.
