Re: Toning
Yeah.. The main reason I wanted to learn was so I could back $100 posters. No point in sending a $100 poster off to be backed for $200...

Funny... I can't stand Fantastic Mr. Fox... Rushmore was on of the first few films I had to by posters for... It was either my first or second poster...

Re: It's a Wonderful Life Daybill (RKO, 1946)
I still think this was a good catch. No harm done to the artwork. Just the borders. Congrats to the new owner. :-bd

Wow...great looking poster!

Linen backed I'm guessing. Nice Art Deco lines & color. Early Joan Crawford posters are fantastic!
Re: Postage question for all Dealers
Why not? Some may find it harder to manage than others (like HA whose shipping department sucks like the most suckiest sucky suck suck you can suck on) - but someone like Bruce's I am sure would not be a problem, where the service is more personal and helpful.
I am also sure most normal poster retailers would not have an issue helping out either, provided prior warning is given (or a note on the purchase).
There is a bigger question here: So you want to send a Hannah and her Sisters Daybill AND a Pretty Woman One Sheet all in one tube to the same place...can you afford your insurance?

Re: Donations needed to help my Mom fight Pancreatic Cancer
Guy's, if you're thinking of buying a $100 poster that you'll never frame and put on the wall then this is your chance to help out a mate's mom.
GO CANDY!

Re: The Day The Earth Stood Still - Australian 3 Sheet For Sale
If it was "restored" it would have to be completely airbrushed/repainted which would go very close to putting it into the reproduction category.

Re: Is Outing 'In Forum' To Be Allowed?
No biggy... ya Twat... 
In all seriousness (que the old age thing) When I started collecting, I was picking up posters here and there, and it was a good haul being able to get 4, or 6 in a year; But I was only paying £2-£5, a poster. As advertising in some film mags took off, prices began to rise a small amount, but by the time of Ebay they went through the roof.
The Moral here being, the more who know, the more it costs, it's bad enough competing against collectors who do search a lot, but to have the extra competition from the lazy brigade only pushes up the price more.
Some may not like this, but having a great collection does not take any special talent other than having lots of spare money, so people with the most to spend will always win an auction. It's for the talentless, but rich. And I've said it many times, you can see them trying to make a name for themselves in this hobby, by rushing to put a first rate collection together, and us poor folk are supposed to say what a jollyfine fellow, he has a great collection....Not me, sorry, I'm in it for the true collectors and film fans..
