Yeah, Raiders doesn't need us to restore it, ...

Perhaps not, but it would be a lot of fun!  That's a great looking print too.

So it's ok to sell these things on ebay now?  I thought it was "illegal" to own them.

As I understand it, you can possibly know its "stolen" because such prints were typically not sold commercially. Therefore it's illegal in the sense that you are knowingly buying stolen goods. (At least in the Netherlands that's illegal)

It's typically tolerated because going after private print collectors is kinda silly as they don't really hurt anyone by owning a 30 year old movie on print. Notable exceptions would probably be stuff like Star Wars prints because George Lucas probably doesn't want people to scan them :P.
