Haven't bought there, I would, and if the timing had been better on a few items over the years I'd have had no issue with doing that. And credit where it's due, it was a flawless experience, Grey really helpful and a nice guy.
And, I think they accurately represented this one: http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=660&lotNo=28274#Photo (Within the range of accepted advertising practice of showing a product in the best light-perhaps a little flattering but not misleading.) The card had been restored, (washed and re-backed) and there's an image of it prior to restoration on the back of Film Posters of the 40s. Based on that I'd say it's a very good guide to how that window card should look, and that the one in the upcoming sale (that Bruce attached an image of) isn't accurately represented. (I'd guess that as well as the discolouration around the edge that perhaps there's overall browning to the paper.) The irony is, that while Bruce's somewhat unique and clever marketing approach is to be brutally honest to the point of being unflattering, I think in this instance Heritage has outdone him. And, that whoever wins it, once they see it in the flesh will be very pleasantly surprised. I don't believe there's any massive conspiracy at Heritage to deliberately mislead people, I think it's just that in showing the posters at their best, sometimes they overcook it. They put on superb auctions, and considering the fantastic paper they bring to market, I just I think they're letting themselves down with the images.
