Larry,
I was looking at the Springer collection material coming up and I
suggest you should like the detailed condition descriptions of these posters

*Subject:* [MOPO] Heritage's Poster Descriptions
I had an interesting experience recently with Heritage
regarding their March 27th auction. It's frustrating how they
try to hide what's really going on with a poster's condition.
They had a Japanese original release B2 poster on /20,000
Leagues Under the Sea/, and I was interested. I zoomed through
the Description and then impulsively placed a bid on it.
Afterwards I went back and re-read the Description more
carefully... and started thinking I'd acted wrong... moved too
fast.
Re-reading the Description I saw red flags I had neglected to
focus on... like "Additionally, there are a few small strips
of cellophane tape on the verso."**Hmmm... how many tape
strips constitutes what they think is "a few"? I emailed
Heritage asking for more detailed information. And they
promptly responded:
"There are roughly 16 strips of cellophane tape along the
borders and folds of the verso that are each no bigger than 1
inch. Additionally, there is one strip of cellophane tape on
the verso that has a very minute piece of paper taped under it
that is subtly visible on the recto."
Whoa. How does 16 pieces of tape become "a few small strips of
cellophane"? If I chase this poster and win it means that
along with their oversized premium, I would have to find a
poster restorer to remove the tape without damaging the
piece.... so add in another $100 or so. Oh well, the poster
was rare, thought I'd eat the cost and so I bid. Didn't win.
Oh well..... on to the next auction.
