Bruce You always show the complete image in your auctions so it is definitely not you.
However, there have always been more than one auction house who shows photos of posters that have been cropped so that they don’t show the linen border. I’m just curious as to why they do this.

Because if it was, I am shocked and horrified, and want to do a full investigation into how this could have happened (and of course offer you a full refund including shipping both ways). If you won't do this publically, please do it privately.

It was described as very fine on linen but the photo had been cropped to only show the actual poster and not the linen. When it arrived it was pretty badly frayed on the edges and the linen border had some foxing spots / stains and pinholes in the linen. I think collectors need to know whether there are any issues with the linen and how much of the linen has been left around the poster. I’m sure you have all seen where some linen backed posters have been trimmed to the edge of the poster and this detracts from the value as far as I am concerned. I looked through the auction history and was surprised to see hundreds of linen backed posters that have been sold where the photos have been cropped so that you cant see the linen borders. That makes it guesswork for the buyer. Just curious as to what you all think about this. Should auction houses show the entire poster including the linen borders? Why would they crop the images so that you cant see the linen borders?
