We have lost thousands of dollars this way, but we know our buyers really appreciate it! See http://www.emovieposter.com/comic_archive.php?id=13 We never bought into the "Marilyn" myth on those French Line cards, but if we had, we would have contacted the high bidder from every time we sold one wrongly identified in that fashion.
