I hope that this isn't a case of someone knowingly (or perhaps unknowingly) passing off the two, 2X400ft battlestar digests as a 4X400ft feature of Battlestar Galactica ...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bttlestar-Galactica-Th e-Movie-Super-8mm-sound-Movie-4-Reels-/190674338991?pt=US_Film&hash=item2c651384af
... I mean, it's possible that Universal 8 could have done so, (though at 4X400ft, it still would be considered a "digest" as that would only run about 75 minutes and the feature was over two hours long), releasing a "mini feature of this ...
... but the fact that the seller, (I don't know who they are) states that they are Universal 8, and that there were two 2X400ft digests, (with a third 2X400ft digest released overseas of "Galactica 1980"), then it's more of a chance that it's just the two widely known digests put together in plain boxes.
If that's the case and the seller doesn't know that, then you can't blame them ...
... if they do know that they are merely digests being pawned off as a "mini-feature", then shame on them.
Perhaps our own Doug could verify if there was in fact a 4X400ft version of "Battlestar Galactica" released?

Thanks Doug. It was also slightly suspicious that the beginnings of at least two of the reels, (which may have had the seperate Universal 8 titles and "Mission Galactica" on them, which would mean a deliberate hoax), are also missing ...
So, for whoever wins this (as it's up at over 100 dollars now), if they are members of this forum, please inform us as to the contents on the last two reels especially, and if it's the last two reels of the four that have the missing stuff.
