Okay--

1. It occurred to me that the seller here seems to be only offering one reel of film, as far as I can tell.

2. He claims that the film is "just a tad over 90 minutes" (it says 97 minutes on the canister in magic marker as well).

3. How much film fits on a 16mm reel? (think back to school days and how often they had to change the reels during the film)

4. Did research: standard 7 inch 16mm reel = 11 minutes of film. Even if you had a 14 inch reel, it would only be 38.5 minutes max.

5. The Star Wars Holiday Special would not even come CLOSE to fitting on a single 16mm reel.

6. The auction is a fraud. I don't know what this guy has on this reel, but it's not the Holiday Special.

7. I am attempting to retract my bid. I wish I could warn the others to do the same, but I can't get their contact info.
