Michael,
Even though I have seen people linen back MINT
posters, most of the time people will only back a poster if it needs some type
of restoration, no matter how minor. Even a small light stain or some
minor fold separation at the crossfolds. A poster with these minor defects
will look MINT after linen backing and would be very hard to detect what was
wrong with it to begin with, especially to most collectors.
Personally, I won't linen back a poster unless
it needs it, especially a valuable poster like Invasion of the
Saucermen.
I've seen many people list a linen backed poster
and say it was Near Mint or Mint before backing.
I wouldn't be surprised if this poster needed
something and that is the reason it was backed.
Just my .02

Hello all
I believe one of these sold at auction in Toronto, two years back, for around
$10 000 CDN so that would make this price pretty well in line...maybe a little
better. I could be wrong but that's the number that seems to stick in my
mind.
My biggest problem with this is the fact that the seller had a NM poster and
backed it. What a waste and a good opportunity for a mistake to
occur. Does anybody feel, as I do, that the poster would be of a higher
value if it were NM and unbacked?
All the vest,
Michael

Is anyone else as surprised as I am re the 7k plus
price realized on this one sheet? I thought it would
go for around 4k.
I see that our own Mr. Peterson
bought it. Maybe he can shed some light or
maybe I've
lost track of this poster's value?
