Hi Tom - Very few at eBay use Yazoo tubes nor do they understand why rolled posters need to "relax" in wider tubes. I decided to go to MoPo for help because some know how to procure new titles. I've just been frustrated with amateurs selling this title using photos that look good - or stock photos.
There are MANY, MANY double-sided "COMING SOON" international - and - "this film has not yet been rated" "JULY" USA one-sheets of "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood." There's even a dealer in Canada who's already sold more than 200 of both types of DS one-sheets since early spring - but he doesn't have the USA "R" version. I'm just hoping someone here in the USA has the R version - and given my frustration, I'm now willing to pay more for near mint from a professional dealer. Gift quality; have one in the queue, looking for another. No doubt most are in super condition when they're being photographed - but they don't look the same when they arrive. One guy put the poster into a tube - and put that into a 3-inch wide tube. He had the right idea to reduce damage in transit - but it arrived rippled anyway because he re-rolled large format paper into the first tube that was only 2-inches wide. As far as he knew, the poster wasn't damaged by tight rolling. Can't win. I usually don't come to MoPo to beg but at least people know what I'm looking for, that I'm good about paying - and that this nonsense has been going on since July - and Christmas is just around the corner.

(NM to M) Hi David I have the poly 2 inch poster tube material.. as i invented a rolling Machine when i did big runs of posters in the 80s 90s//I stll have the sleeve and even 2 inch tubes.. i made the machine with a metal piope with a slot in it,,attached to a electric mototor,, when you depressed the foot pedla it rolled tight..then you would put the sleevv over it and relesse the poster inside the tubbing,,,and remove..I did 1000s that way...the tubbing comes on large rolls in all widths...and i would cut off and tuck inside.

(NM to M) Help! VERY BAD LUCK buying many DS copies with the "true" final USA R-rating printed in the lower left corner. Only one so far (since July) - has passed condition tests for gift quality. All were listed "new" by sellers and looked great in photos - but arrived with horizontal rippling - or - creasing / bends at the top or bottom edges. Others were replete with dimples down the center from top to bottom - or - "scuff-type" wear along the vertical edges - way beyond the "few minor dings" that are OK and common w/even "pristine" posters. Any thoughts? I think the rippling is caused by tight hand-rolling - to fit into 2 inch (or smaller!) diameter sleeves and tubes - (see reference photos below - the posters always look good at first but more probing reveals what I'm talking about). I never get this from pro dealers using three-inch diameter tubes - but it's coming up a lot with amateur sellers. Someone please set me straight. I think these new-release posters are machine rolled into tubes for theaters - but after re-sellers take them out to take photos - they don't know how to re-roll large format paper - by hand - and in a straight line - causing them to make too many hand-adjustments to get them to fit back into these narrow tubes. When I bring it up, they say, "it was mint when shipped." They're not aware of what happens when they use narrow sleeves or tubes. Other posters have shown up w/small, but hard crease edge wear along the vertical sides (vs. normal dings). Of course I get that perfection is impossible - I just don't want to be embarrassed gifting LESS than "near mint" / near pristine posters for RECENT titles. If you have ideas or can help - please message me with price and condition. Thank you! (See photos below.)
