Could be faded to total red too, even with super colors, it's more like 30-50, isn't it?

The answer is a definitive yes. Overpriced and not only a bit in my opinion.

I have Universal 2222 - Jaws on 200'. The colour is Eastman and the colour is very good. The blue sea is really blue.

Wow!

I just saw this.

The JAWS 2x400 digest is great but $300? Really?

A "Best Offer" is included.

I wonder how low they'd be willing will go.

Rediculous. I bet the seller is clueless enough to think that it's the full movie. I have ran into that a few times on ebay over the years.

You used to be able to pick this up for £15 when the colour was still nice.

Shame it never made it other than a trailer on to low fade, though my be the odd LF 16mm around.

The Blu Ray is lovely and looks stunning even on a cheap VP.

Best Mark.

Fairly satiesfied with my print ... Not sure if it's low fade or what, but the colors are better than the pictures will show

I did however pay more than 15 :-) I think it was 35 euro or something

I ran into a very decent 2X400ft copy too, literally no fade, quite good looking and I still say that it is one of the best digests ever, very good editing.

Mark, there was a scope release of this and a low fade print! Quite rare these days.

It finally sold! But not for $300. The seller accepted the best offer, whatever that was.
