Many, many years ago I used to use thumb tacs and put these mint, unused
three sheets up in the outer lobby of a theatre..........They were mint,
never used from NSS and certainly not old
There were times the two pieces fit perfectly, there were other
times......they would not line up.... thus, I assume the printer is the
"varmint".................Vaughn

Doesn't explain why my Gun Crazy 3 aligned fine prior to backing, whereas
after, the bottom sheet was smaller.

rich,
the misalignment has nothing to do with backing, shrinkage, paper grain
etc. it has to do with the printing and misalignment and the registration
being off, during the printing process. remember, these sections were
printed separately. and as grey said, the printers doing the work
probably didnt care all that much, as these were an expendable item.
the hash marks on posters are supposed to help with aligning the color
that was done.. even with those, sometimes the color can be off.. same
here. and sometimes they got it close to the mark, such as on this 3 sheet;
best.

I've got one, not one of the ones from Heritage, and same thing on mine.
Reason I've heard for this kind of thing happening, grain of paper going
in different directions, causing variation in shrinkage during backing.
Sheets don't match that brilliantly anyway, looks like the artist got
bored of doing bricks by the time he reached bottom sheet, and the
illustrative style gets much looser.
(Though still nowhere near as loose as the blind restorer.)
Still best paper for that title in my opinion though.

Rich,
Yeah, I just noticed that myself. I checked out the picture in last
year's Heritage auction on this 3-Sheet at
<http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=695&Lot_No=85001>http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=695&Lot_No=85001
...and, sure enough, the bottom third of that linen-backed poster had a
slightly larger white border than the top two pieces did. How weird. I
guess when the poster was printed they somehow used different paper for
the bottom part and it shrinks more during the cleaning/backing
process? Or else the printer just plain screwed up and printed it
slightly smaller? Crazy.

Also note that the borders of the blow-up portion don't match up with
the borders of the rest of the poster.
Actually that's the only accurate part, borders never seem to match up
when these are backed.
Been better off printing out one of those nice big Heritage images,
enough people have been selling repros on ebay using those.
Looks like "restorer" didn't think of that, and preferred to use a
blow-up of postage stamp sized reproduction from a catalogue, then
touched it up with a paint brush stuck in his anus.
Should have just left it, and tried to find a nice lonely top section.

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. . 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.

we're in the area of amateur arts & craft at this point no?
