He has the full grading system listed in his auction but the only grade he had listed for the poster was what he felt the poster 'would be' if restored. I asked him what he felt the poster would grade at as-is. By the grading system he listed it would be about a C3. His response:
The color is very good, the paper loss is in a easy to repair area, it should be quite easy to make a C7 or C8. It is framed the way it is and looks very nice but needs to be restored. Yeah, I think everyone is going to spend $5000 to buy a C3 and then spend another pile of money to get a poster which Bruce and Heritage have been selling for under $400. I can't wait for his War of the Worlds.
