neil--- because you discussed using linen as a way of making it more difficult to spot the fakes.......please comment as to the thickness of the paper without linen. i have found that half sheets and inserts vary in paper/cardboard thickness----- in fact. my inSert of an affair to remember is a bit thinner than my other insert. thanks michael In a message dated 8/5/2009 8:13:46 A.M.

i think this is a real problem here, maybe not for right now [and maybe not with all of it eg the 3sheets which are in one piece] but in years from now. it continues to annoy me that Moviegoods sells reproduction posters of half sheets at 22x28 and other 'to scale' repros....why not reduce or increase the size slightly if there is no intention to deceive [or to encourage/allow others to decieve]? if these were linenbacked would they not be difficult for casual poster buyers to suss out? --- On Wed, 5/8/09, Michael B <dialmbb...@aol.com> wrote: From: Michael B <dialmbb...@aol.com> Subject: [MOPO] can these really fool?
