I have to listen to Danny and Dario. I have a poster that Dario backed and it's wonderful. And I just received several posters-- inserts and half-sheets from the 50s that Danny linen backed and a half-sheet from the 1930s that he restored and linen backed. They are simply superb! I don't know much about the processes but Danny's work is astounding as is Dario's.
It's really wonderful to be able to learn so much about these pieces of history from people like these and more of you who know what you're talking about.
Thanks to Danny and Dario-- and MoPo.

I agree with Dario. I have been using linen backing for most everything on
paper since 1960. The linen provides a stable foundation whether the paper
is flat, rolled, or framed. When I first began linen backing lobby cards
several dealers said it was " the kiss of death" for resale. I pointed out
this was an urban myth perpetuated by minds not acquainted with proper
archival procedure. Times have changed!
