I thought it looked like a pretty good job for homemade art.  I was thinking more along the lines of how to preserve the front side, due to the art on the back side, but after thinking about it, you're right, T, the art on the back side itself is a piece of history.

So who here is going for that Cleopatra?

Now that it has gone over 31,000, I will have to bow out. :P

  Your such a quitter, Zorba.  ;D    Cleopatra would make you the Grand Poobah among elite collectors of overpriced unicorns, unapproved by the APF Price Police..   laugh1

I saw that price and wondered what that was all about. I guess two guys who REALLY want it!

Far out, I just the far superior Italian for a fraction of that, the film is becoming more and more of a cult favorite, which it deserves IMHO, but that's just a crazy price. Man I paid less for an orig Italian 2f NOTLD, and obviously that's not only nicer, but a much more popular film. Maybe my trashy collection will be worth something more than wall paper after all :)

What's wrong with this picture?
Is this the same restorative genius who worked on that beauteous ET advance?

Yeah, it looks like he didn't know how to make flesh and provided some of his own art...

What I don't understand is that it is a lot of work to do the yellow around the smaller text.

And to colour in the upper-most text, again in Yellow....I'm sure he's gone out of the lines on that..... ;)

Why would Todd be selling this if it is the only one? 

Wow - I am not sure ANYONE knew that even existed (beyond Todd)!

The consensus had been that the daybill that was found (then listed on eBay - only to be sold off eBay at a fraction of its worth - then put to Heritage where it sold for $10,000) was the largest piece extant on the title. 

He's been holding out OR it just surfaced somehow...

That may be the absolute WORST artwork on an MGM poster that I've ever seen.  Anyone got an original pressbook on this film?  Something doesn't seem quite right.
