second best disclaimer ever Peter
the best disclaimer was in a legal document I had to sign more than 20 years ago when my Ohio attorney told a NYC attorney that he was going to be sued on my behalf. they settled within 24 hours and I had to sign a contract stating that I had never done business with their firm
"FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME UNTIL NOW"

My attorney (who later went to work with Stanley Chesley) and I cracked up over that line. Of course, I can't tell you the firm that the document went back to, though I can say it was a big time Madison Ave law firm that royally screwed up something that they were working on for me

So, condition is more or less painted and if you buy you can’t get a refund, “authenticate or renounce it after purchase and possibly give it to the authorities.”

That has to be one of the best disclaimers ever. Sign me up…

Thank you for your interest in Lot 1195, the Frankenstein Poster. We understand your concerns and have actually updated our condition report on this poster.


Condition: Excellent. Restored and sealed in cellophane against poster board. Linen backed. Noted painted restorations with watercolor and gouache in woman's dress, side of Frankenstein's face, Frankenstein's shirt where Wolf Man is grabbing him, lamp pole, upper left corner, between Frankenstein's leg and woman, the folds and minor scattered paint.


With regard to your concerns and hesitancy to commit to this piece, while we have no reason to doubt this poster’s authenticity, we would prefer that you either view it yourself in person or have your agent do so before bidding. Our consignor believes this poster to be the real thing, and therefore will not agree to a refund, allow you to authenticate or renounce it after purchase and possibly give it to the authorities.

Again, we thank you for your interest as well as the time you took to share with us your concerns.
