Ha, thanks, yes it was cinema city, now cinema-city.com, in biz since '75. They would periodically update their catalog and mail revised copies to their customer base.
In the late 80s/early 90s I don't recall understanding/appreciating "originality." Maybe full-size repros were uncommon then. When I (accidentally) rejoined the hobby in 2009, I visited a few MP stores in NYC and London, now all physically closed.
