Re: Ask Your Linenbacking & Restoration Questions
Old doesn't mean rare.
If its a poster that can be found relatively easily, then if you back and don't restore, your pool of buyers will be very small.
It also depends who did the work. Some restorers just don't know what the feck they are doing or do bad work.
If its a poster that is quite rare, you might not have the option of restoration because you have no reference.
I think Wil's Pilot long daybill is a great example.
If he did nothing, it probably would have disintegrated eventually.
He couldn't really get it restored because there was no reference.
I'd be happy to pick that up in a heartbeat.
On the flip side, I've refused to pay top dollar for backed posters because others are out there, and I wasn't very impressed with the work done.
I would only do it if it really needs its. Else leave it alone

If that's the case, and price is right...borders....you don't need no stinking borders....it'd look great backed & framed!HONDO said:collectahollic said:Fair point Ves.theartofmovieposters said:But on the bright side its a pretty poster with just the borders missing...look at the glass being half full rather than empty
It may also be the only surviving daybill poster for this title.
Re: My fave find!
All the films from the find so far appear to have been released in Australia circa 1933. From the last posted image from joyonthego and yet unpublished images yet to appear on this thread, I have worked out, in some cases from very little to work with that, that the above films that I have posted from the best images I could find, are also in the ''fave find''.
