“Reels one and four are EastmanColor, Reels two, three, four and seven are LPP Low Fade. Reel six is FujiColor and is showing the first stages of vinegar syndrome, but the other six reels seem to be okay. All pictures are captured frames from the actual print with no touch up. The two EastmanColor reels have turned warm, but there is still some color. All pictures are captured frames from the actual print with no touch up or color correction, so check them carefully to judge the condition of the film.”

Well, don’t spend too much on it. There have been other prints scanned already (one of which was used in Despecialized 2.5). I’m not 100% sure this would be useful. The fading of the non LPP reels doesn’t seem too extreme yet (if those images are really untouched), but given that unfaded prints have been scanned, I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble. If you want it for your own personal collection, keep in mind that three of the reels will fade to red. And one of them is going to eventually be destroyed completely and should not be kept with the others.
