Attention Bidders:
The following is provided as information to help you avoid selling a potentially infringing movie item. This information is provided for all listings in this category and in no way implies anything about the

eBay Policy: Sales of 70mm and 35mm film prints may not be listed on eBay, regardless of the legality of your particular item.
