Wouldn't linenbacking though solve the problem of a poster "buckling"
or getting waves when framed? This is why I would linenback a poster.
To have it look nice and hung w/ a musuem mount in the frame.

Hi Mindy,
I have linenbacked some double sided posters, but that was
because the customer decided on that. My feeling is that the only
reason to linenback a poster is that the poster itself has damage that
you can't live with. Spending the money to linenback a current double
sided poster doesn't seem monetarily sound since you could probably go
out and buy the same poster in excellent condition for less than
linenbacking would cost you. The optimum way to collect and preserve is
without linenbacking. If linenbacking is done, as with older vintage
posters, it can sometimes add to the value of the poster because it
makes the poster "look" better. However, this is a debate in our hobby
that has yet to be settled. Some people like to linenback and some
never linenback. I guess since there are buyers for both situations, to
this point, it hasn't created a major problem.
I frame double sided posters on a daily basis and most of my
studio accounts drymount them before framing, because they don't really
care about collectability. If for some reason one of those doublesided
posters became worth a fortune in years to come, the poster could be
"unmounted" and then it would have to be linenbacked because the back
side of the poster would have glue residue on it. But to me, there
would have to be a good reason to spend the money to linenback a double
sided poster today.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether it is okay to linen back a
DOUBLE SIDED image poster? Is the LINEN BACKING a value added
component or is it considered defacing the backward, backside image?
Thanks - Mindy
