Good to know those marks are on both your copies, Brandon. Almost like small print defects, would you say, as the print run went thru the rollers or something.
I know the marks of which you refer... the Posterfix-looking touch ups to damage and scratches that JMR caused, while your poster was in their care. 
It's tough to say what exactly the marks are. They may be from the printing machine, or they could just be imperfections on the original plate or whatever.
Yeah, the touch-ups on the first run with Jaime Mendez were bad, but the damages done that required all the touch-ups (on both times with their work) are even worse. I don't see how they could mangle it that badly, with a simple linen backing job.
On the bright side, I got a new copy, in better condition, and another rad poster as a gift, and discovered a good guy in Germany to deal with in the future.
