I got the information about the DVD insert from the post that started this thread, to wit:
"I also informed him that this Ohrai poster he is selling as a teaser is actually a bonus for the CD Soundtrack (it is even labeled as such in Japanese at the bottom with the Toshiba/EMI catalog numbers) made by the Toho Fan Club, but that also fell on deaf ears.

Yes, the "this other" was pointing out that a Toho Fan Club poster was also not a theatrical one - but it was a different poster to the first one linked and the one an explanation was posted about and certainly has nothing to do with DVDs.
Do you not find it interesting that in the couple of decades since this movie came out, and despite selling over 1,000,000 posters, with multiple examples of most every 90s Godzilla poster, that you were never offered this piece until the commercial reprint set came out?
Most of you know this, but I (and my 29 employees) prepare 3,000 auctions a week
There is NO way we won't make a few mistakes with this volume. When we are alerted to a mistake, we fix it.
I noted this prior - "I understand that when you list almost 150,000 items a year, sometimes you will make a mistake, and the fact that we don't have a weekly thread on mistakes shows it isn't often - but i just wish that when someone who has demonstrated expertise in an area points out one of those mistakes (like me with Godzilla, or Tang Lung with Bruce Lee) that they would listen a little more closely. "
And as this thread points out, you clearly didn't listen when someone alerted you to a mistake.
My information came straight from Toho, how is that not reliable, and not more credible than someone who said, "yes I saw this image 25 years ago in a theater" - which I already pointed out, could very likely have happened?
I have no idea who your expert is, other than that they are Japanese which I guess automatically makes them at least as credible as someone who has literally spent decades gathering information on this niche.
To me that is like saying John Kisch is only as good an expert on Black Cast posters as someone who is black, simply because they are black.
