thanks for the input, sue. these arent ebay items but being sold thru a private seller. the framing looks low quality and like newer wood, as do the mats.
to me, too.. if a seller doesnt want to ship without the frame, i would be a little concerned, too, because of potential damage and the fact that if a repro, the seller could claim innocence, saying they were bought frramed and he or she had no clue about their authenticity. kerry On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 10:57 AM, Susan Heim <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Kerry and all, > I know what you are saying about the mat covering the copyright info. > However, I do have many customers, even though I suggest otherwise, who mat > over the writing at the bottom of the poster preferring to see the artwork > only.
