Leave the snipe, adds to it for mine

Seems Miguel should point out in his description that this lovely poster has been defaced by some over-zealous neighborhood censor.

If it's marker, it's probably worthless now.

The modesty skirt was well done. Until I scrolled down, I was not sure of the added work. I thought maybe a few more sparkles were added to the chest area.

Ted, that skirt almost looks like it was printed, doesnt it? Solid black, no seeming evidence of a marker, as the color is consistent-no breaks or areas showing from underneath, and the "ruffled" pattern around the waist, too, makes me think it was added by the printer. If you compare Cyd's outfit in both, it actually looks like 2 slightly different versions of the artwork. The outfit on the uncensored poster looks more detailed, the other a little more simple in its execution, IMO.

Compare her outfit area just above the skirt and on the other. The pattern and art are definitely different.

And notice the blacked out area in the b/w pic to the right, where the one guy is pointing a gun to under the chin of the other. Also censored.

Oooh Miguel. I've bought a couple things from him in the past. In fact I bought my first poster from him. He's got a nice collection of stuff, but I've found in 90% of the items he has you can find stuff A LOT cheaper than what he lists it for, and like most Italian sellers (although he's in Spain) condition is always based on what you can make out in his usually poor pictures, he gives no detail. I actually got him as an exception in my eBay searches now so his massive amount of listings don't show up, because it's just not worth wading through all the overpriced stuff.

I think the inconsistencies in the design of her outfit are due to Miguel's poor photo.
The black does look awfully smooth, almost printed. Just a mess of a defaced poster.
Only thing missing are some snipes, which most of you guys seem to like.

Probably so, Ted. This is not one of Benito's best photos. Looks a bit blown out, too.

But this is a cool comparison, showing how posters are often altered, to protect the innocent

and those with "delicate dispositions."

I was perusing ebay UK and came across this very rare beauty. A UK 6sh (similar in size to a US 3sh) for the first release of SON OF FRANKENSTEIN.

It looks amazing. From the descrip, the area from the top of Rathbone's name and up (meaning Karloff's face) has all been re-created, based on a pressbook image. Studio C looked to do a terrific job, tho! Better that, than nothing at all, IMO.

BIN price £40,000.00 (obo)

If I remember correctly, Mr. Waines was advising the owner of this SOF poster on the restoration process.
Came out very nice, indeed.

You remember quite correctly as always Ted, I sent some pics over of Boris from the film, to help with the work as there's no known image of this poster other than the press-book.

Matias, I need to keep an eye on you....

I told the guy that it came out 3 months after the towers fell and why the 'twin towers' would be on a poster for a film based in Las Vegas but he's not convinced.

He thinks the date is 12th July 2001!

Exactly. It draws attention to it even if it's wrong.

Bruce, I noticed that one, and another poster printed in Argentina, but written in portuguese (surely to be used in Brazil). Nice!
