Wow Doug, the poster and restoration look amazing. Thanks for sharing the before-and-after images. Jaime did a great job of recreating the missing section. A true artist! Alleged transgressions aside, he is one of the best in the restoration business in my opinion, and I will continue to use hi

Isn't that kind of like asking Bernie Madoff to be your financial advisor, transgressions aside? :>) GT On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 10:35 AM Scott Clark wrote: > Wow Doug, the poster and restoration look amazing. Thanks for sharing the > before-and-after images. Jaime did a great job of recreating

Mendez’ “transgressions” are NOT alleged. They are fact. Read the court docs or talk with Jim Gresham. He was the one who created the forgeries and fakes on behalf of Kerry Haggard. Without Mendez to create these fakes, there would’ve been nothing for Haggard to sell, trade or swindle with. Me

Ha! Somehow I don’t put Jaime in the same category as Bernie who defrauded people out of roughly $65 billion. He made a mistake and he continues to pay the price for it. At the same time, I think you’d be surprised out how many collectors continue to use Jaime in silence. As for me, I could tru

Yes he’s good. No doubt about that. But the facts speak for themselves. Its has nothing to do what I think about him. He helped perpetuate a MAJOR fraud in this hobby. Again. those are the FACTS. They are Not my thoughts on him or the issue at hand. And again..talk to those that were ripped of

I am sorry you disagree Jeff. No one disputes he created the artwork that later became forgeries. I’ve always agreed with Bruce’s view that Jaime only crossed a line when he did further restoration work on one of the pieces that found its way back to him. To put this into perspective, a kid in

Jeff is absolutely correct. Scott, you are indifferent because you didn't lose anything with Jaime. Had you lost money, like at least 35 people did, I would bet you would feel differently. The next time Jaime is in financial trouble, who is to say he doesn't switch out your poster? Jaime made l

Of course I was only making a poor joke. I am but a small fly on the dung heap of movie paper collecting. While I have never met the man, in the 25 years I've been hovering over the hobby I have heard multiple stories about him. Never anything good other than his artistic abilities. Obviously the

Exactly, Jim. How easy for those to say its not a big deal, when they aren’t the ones who got the short end of the stick. Mendez was integral to that who SCAM operation. Haggard was the mastermind, but he wasn’t the artist. Without Mendez, NONE of the forgeries would ever have been born. And T
