hi nathalie,
this seller has a website and he sells posters, comic materials,
baseball materials, etc. on his website, is the following bio/
history. It sounds like he has a long history dealing in all these
areas of collectibles.

FROM HIS SITE:
I have been a regular face “on the scene” in at least eight of the
hottest hobbies for many years now – *Comic Books * Movie Posters *
Baseball Cards * Sports Memorabilia * Non-Sports Cards *Disneyana *
Music Memorabilia *Hollywood Memorabilia *
For over 30 years, I have attended the major conventions and hobby
auctions and continue to be a high-seniority booth holder at some of
the biggest hobby shows each year. Many of you have been buying,
selling and trading with me at these shows for so many years now,
that I feel like we’ve grown up together. I also have been bidding in
the collectibles auctions held by most of the “Majors” since they
started their offerings within “my” field of expertise. I continue to
have working relationships with those that still offer “my” product
line. – All Star * Bonham’s & Butterfields * Christies * Comiclink
*eBay (User names: rarevintagecollectibles and scoutscorner) * Grey
Flannel *Heritage * Hershenson * Last Moving Picture Co. * Mastronet
* Ritchies * Robert Edward * Sotheby’s * Vault *
I’ve have also consulted and from time to time still consult many of
these auction companies and am frequently called upon to authenticate
or appraise memorabilia and nostalgic items for them. I’ve been a
“guest” cataloguer for some of these “houses” and am recognized as a
contributor in many of “their” catalogs.
I am a “Senior Advisor” to the Official Comic Book Price Guide by
Robert Overstreet and still continue to gather and submit data for
the new edition each year.
I am a “Charter Dealer Member #11” of CGC’s (Comics Guaranty, LLC)
authorized group of dealers and have been one of their biggest
submitters over the years.
I’ve been a guest columnist in various hobby publications over the
years and have given too many television, radio and newspaper
interviews to list (or even remember).
I was hired as the first consultant to PSA (Professional Sports
Authentications), at an embryonic stage of the company’s history, to
define and implement their 10-point grading scale and to enlist
collectors and dealers to the certified baseball card concept. I
personally graded and encapsulated the “Most Valuable Baseball Card
in the World”, ultra-rare 1909 T-206 Honus Wagner card that was once
owned by hockey Hall-of-Famer Wayne Gretzky, presently valued at
around $2,000,000.
I was instrumental in putting the deal together between Greg Manning
Auctions & Butterfields auction houses and the ‘Rock’ band “Kiss” for
the sale of the vast majority of their career-collected memorabilia.
The 2001 Los Angeles auction did approximately $1,600,000.
I was also instrumental in the deal that brought the Academy Award
winning actor, Nicolas Cage’s comic book collection to the auction
block. The October 2002 auction in Dallas brought nearly $1,700,000.
I put the deal together for the buyout of World’s Finest Comics by
Greg Manning Auctions and the subsequent sale of much of the same
inventory to ‘The Mint’ for approximately $2,400,000.
On behalf of GMAI, I bought the fabled collection of Jack Kirby
original comic art from long-time collector Tony Christopher, which
consisted of over 900 pages of Kirby art that included some of the
earliest and most important known Silver-Age Marvel pages as well as
other fabulous original art by Steve Ditko, Neal Adams, Bill Everett
and others. Purchase price $1,100,000.
I’ve bought, sold and traded collectibles in every conceivable way,
including through trade shows, my own auctions, live and telephone,
and auctions that I’ve conducted for other “houses”. In all, I have
been involved in the retailing, wholesaling and auctioning of over
$30,000,000 worth of collectibles over a span of 31 years.

Please look at this link. It seems a little funny to me.
1) Why does it say 2004HeritageComics.com on the border?
2) Why does it say this:
No Reserve. Minimum Far Below Guide Value, So Bid Now
3) Why does the description sound a lot like a Heritage catalog
description?
4) It's paper backed.
5) I checked through a few feedback screens and the seller doesn't
sell posters (at least where I looked; didn't look through everything)
6) Does any guru here think that bidding on this half sheet is safe?
