hi JR, that was my first suggestion to my friend last night, when i first viewed the photos... have them removed from the frames so the entire piece can be seen. if the seller refuses, he is potentially hiding something. get pics of the "naked" pieces and get close up shots of the printer's info.
plus, who wants to pay for the weight of frames that would may be be replaced anyhow. kerry On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 1:47 PM, James Richard <[email protected]>wrote: > Kerry, > > Only one thing to do here -- make the seller take the posters out of the > frame and send a picture of a close-up of the bottom margin to see what it > says.
