Still you should not call it "fair". These grades imply an objectivity
no matter how rare the object is. Getting back to my furniture
reference. One original leg does not make a Chippendale in fair
condition.

I actually agree with Grey 100% on this issue
whether the poster was restored to the quality of a Studio-C or
Poster Mountain restoration, the description in my opinion is just
fine
they do not create any illusions on the item, grades as fair/
restored and the picture tells the story
the fact that it is one of one makes it a desired item regardless of
less than perfect artistic quality
now, keep in mind, nothing keeps the current owner of the item from
getting it re-restored with the work of a better artist than the one
who previously worked on the poster, which would of course make it
considerably more presentable

You mention "silk purse from a...", perhaps, but when it is the
only sow's ear on earth, it is assuredly, in many people's eyes, a
silk purse!
Concerning including an image of the title card next to the half
sheet, not a bad idea but where does that end? Should we end up
trying to offer comparisons on all we sell. This is exactly why we
continue to offer the service of high res images forever on our
site and are the only poster seller that does so. As Heritage has
always suggested, educate yourself on anything you purchase. Thus
the reason for the link to comparables on every page of our
auctions. This is also something that only Heritage offers to their
bidders.

I might be so audacious and impertinent as to suggest that a
responsible and highly-regarded auction house catering to the very
well-to-do and regularly selling tens of millions of dollars of
high-priced collectibles every year would have taken it upon
themselves to include a high resolution picture of the title card
along with the half sheet auction so that the bidders could have
made the comparison themselves at the time of the sale.
But I guess I'm just being naive... despite the cries of shock and
horror over the last few days, "let the buyer beware" is still the
Golden Rule in our society.

There is indeed a very big difference between the two.
