He's right. Especially when it comes to standard 8mm, they were printed on that old double sprocket 16MM, the first 16MM that was for home movie collecting, one was printed one direction, while the other was printed opposite, and then, they would just be slit down the middle and sold separately.
Amazingly, every once in awhile, you will actually find these un slit down the middle. The only thing that I can guess is prints that never made it to the distributor, (castle films, for instance) made they're way out of the film lab into some lucky collectors hands.
If I see another one pop up on ebay, I'll buy it, as they HAVE to be very rare!
