Hoping someone from ot.com is on this.

I spoke with poita and he decided not to bid on it after being told by the seller that it's terribly blue-shifted and is a "blue mess" during the Ewok battle scenes.
Shocking, as I somehow thought Derann prints were immune to that sort of thing. As Jaxxon was watching the auction, I'll pass that info along. :)
As this was the same seller as that recent Star Wars print, I wonder if they've got the elusive Empire Super 8? (Not released by Derann.)
BTW, did anyone here get this one?

Derran did from time to time sell 'seconds' cheaply, this print is one of those, the final reel is literally a blue mess. The owner of the print didn't know that either when he bought it, the seller who sold it to him was also unaware.
Many Derran prints are never watched, they are collected and put on the shelf.
He doesn't have the super8 ESB, I can get a hold of one though, but it is around a grand. I'm trying to put together a way to do it. I'm thinking of maybe seeing if a bunch of people want to go in on it and be first to get a hold of the test scans and give feedback and be along for the journey so to speak.
If 20 people bought a $50 share each then we could get it, or if some people put in I could cover the shortfall, I'll start up a thread for it, I'd hate to see the opportunity pass. I've seen the ESB print in question and it is gorgeous.
