There is NO WAY I am going back to Debi Jacobson for posters. I wasted $thousands on substandard backed posters (sought after 3 sheets) and misdescribed posters (was fed downright lies). Areas of saturated respray the size of an open hand, lighter (but still significant) respray to many more areas and other flaws/repairs in the image area, all on a 'Mint/NM' described poster. I was a newb. I waited 6 months to complain, thinking no point complaining as it is likely the only poster out there (didn't see any others anywhere in my novice searches) and I had my heart set on it... I asked for nothing more than comments and some kind of explanation to how this could have happened. LAMP were no help to me, they backed Debi. I couldn't believe it. It was a horrible start for me into this hobby. I was paying off this bad purchase on my card for nearly a year as the posters were meant to be a real statement. Now that prime piece is a sad memory and monument to having being deceived.
I am sure others here will abuse me for writing this, why, because of boredom I guess, but that was my experience, as a customer. My collection has since grown from a few to over 100 pieces I treasure and in no other dealings in online auctions, online stores or bricks and morter stores have I experienced anything like it since. --- On Sun, 6/12/09, Jeff Potokar <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Jeff Potokar <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [MOPO] BIG News in Universal Horror Fraud Case > To: [email protected] > Date: Sunday, 6 December, 2009, 3:45 > My FIRST linen backing experience was > with Jacobson and her outfit.. she was recommended by a > collector friend, who used her almost exclusively. > Her mystery, unnamed restorer did SLOPPY work to > the piece my friend had taken to her.. first, he airbrushed > ALL the borders on this piece--this was NOT asked for.
