Two things:
1. I doubt they are stolen - do you mean they may have been obtained for
non-educational purposes?
2. I did not see anything in the auction text which either claims that those
auctioned are the original artwork, or that they are any different from
those UNHCR offer on their site? The Andreas only claims he got them "some
time ago" - luch-time was "some time ago", as was the fall of the Roman
Empire.

| (...) The auction had 5 posters, and AFAICT the website only has four posters. Assuming that we can get the four from the site, where can we get the 5th poster? If it's not available, it alone should be worth something. Ben Roller (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
