Cool Puggo!!  While nobody knows where the eBay print ended up, (and there hasn't been any feedback there yet for it) I'm pretty sure my print would suffice for PSB!  There's not really any "damage" that would need to be cleaned up.  Certainly not of the level of the PG prints!  From what I gather from my correspondence with the seller, I'm the third owner of this print.  Both previous owners upgraded to 35mm prints!  (something I can promise won't happen with yours truly!)  It was printed in the mid-90's on what I believe to be low-fade Kodak reversal stock.  There are a very few emulsion scratches here & there as well as one or two minor splices; all of which may have been on the source print.  I've only screened it once and didn't take the time to examine these spots individually.  But I did carefully rewind it by hand, gently cleaning it and didn't feel any physical splices..  (btw, my cleaning cloth didn't pick up much.. the previous owner really must have pampered this print!)  It's on three 1600' reels and the reel-change burn marks are there along with the usual speckling for a couple feet before and after;  again, from the source theatrical print.

So if and/or when you decide to tackle PSB, I'm sure with this print it would be a walk in the park compared to PG!  It's just as well that you've got a full plate with the Swedish print and the Puppies (which I'm anxious to see!) because I want to screen this print a few more times before letting it leave the nest ;-)
