I had been interested initially in
this Red Sox print when I saw it the other day, but noticed the two small words at the end of the long description which stated "repaired tears".
I immediately flashed back to this thread and pictured what the "repaired tears" might mean, and held back on my bid.
Thanks again to all for informing the rest of us when you know about things like this - it is very educational and can save us some headaches down the road!
