Australian lipstick applied film poster artists.
Fun clock
Saw this on a non movie forum. Yeah, I know it's dvd jackets, but still a cool idea

Re: 1st attempt at linen backing - a good start!
Yes, a good first effort! But may I suggest you get away from inserts or half-sheets and go to one-sheets? I say this because almost all top restorers solely paperback inserts and half-sheets, and there is a big difference between them and the much thinner paper one-sheets.

Re: Bond - You only live twice (Subway): Where to restore?
Nice. Yeah I’ve been following these two on instagram for a while. I like to study how other approach the practice. Hope it turns out well!

500th restoration. It is a great feeling to restore these posters before they deteriorated into nothing.

These guys looks legit and probably could do the work.

Re: Bond - You only live twice (Subway): Where to restore?
There are at least 15-20 linenbackers in the US another 10+ that I know of in Europe. I should clarify that there should be 10+ I don’t have all the European conservators’ contact info.
I would actually trust European backers more. US backers are restorers and will put irreversible acrylics and colored pencils on your posters. European backers will keep it original and reversible.

Re: FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956), Oversized Photo of 24-Sheet
Your Forbidden Planet photo is an art still which the studios routinely printed for each poster size - one sheet and larger, as part of their suite of stills ( which ran into the hundreds). The one you have may be quite rare but doesn't prove that a copy of the poster still exists. It looks like an original from 1956. The Forbidden Planet pressbook would illustrate the same image which could sometimes differ slightly from the printed poster. The alphanumeric code at the bottom is unique to that movie and to that still.
These stills are interesting but rarely fetch a lot of money, the most recent one I bought was for the 1939 Hound of the Baskervilles 3 sheet, bought for $25. The value of the poster itself is probably 25 grand.

Re: The Most Important Tool in Poster Collecting (That No One Talks About)
I’ve never cut a poster in 30 years. I tore one once that was rolled in paper oddly.
Baroque’s are a fad I am thinking - too much handling to get them in and then you’ll dent them (mostly a worry for new modern posters) turning the pages. They will get heavy when you fill them and then you still have to find a flat place to store it.
Just bite the bullet and get flat files.
I painfully went through this with full size poly bags - they make the poster heavier and dent modern posters.
I just keep theme between acid free paper. Stacked for
days. But I have no idea where anything is.
