Having worked a lot with older film I agree- the cost of doing stats/acetates
etc and the profit margin so tight especially when comics were a dime that few
publishers did anything more than necessary when it came to producing them -
they did their best to reduce production costs. That is why so much Golden age
and 50's art has coloring notations on it to save production costs on stats.
Also any color seps that were done with layered acetate would be the size of
the printed page not larger

Acetates such as this may have been part or a set of printer’s color
separations, but I rarely see the cyan, magenta, and yellow seps in these
auctions, only the black line. That’s what makes these fishy to me. It would be
very odd for someone to save the black separation and discard the color ones.

At the peak of his sales, one of those eBay sellers of acetates was routinely
selling them for $50-200 bucks. Based on average past sales (that I could see)
and the volume of feedback, I recall estimating this person made ~$100k selling
that garbage.

At least one other person reached out to them to let C-Link know those are
