=== Print-specific info
We had two prints, neither was very good. Here's the original state:

DFS/Buffalo #00021
Reel bands! [thumbsup]

Eastman LPP low-fade acetate stock
Dolby A [Frown]

No official reel copy numbers. Ad hoc "Copy #2008-21" added to all reels.
Quality: Poor-Fair (4/10)
A continuous "rain" throughout of scratches, coupled with some visible green lines on R1 and R7 (at least)

DFS/Boston #00022
Reel bands! [thumbsup]

Eastman LPP low-fade acetate stock (starting to smell though)
Dolby A [Frown]

No reel copy numbers. Ad hoc "Copy #2008-22" added to all reels.
Quality: Fair (5/10)
All reels have vertical black lines on the right third of the image. Especially bad in R1, R6, and R8, where they tend to green at times.

With authorization, we've shifted R1 and R6 from print #21 to print #22, making print #22 marginally better than it was, and DFS is marking these for inspection, and if I understand correctly, they may be renumbering the prints after this.

Can we pay more for shipping than the booking guarantee? Let's find out!

I hope you guys are enjoying these original stack ads. I haven't gotten any feedback on them, but at least I like them...
