If any of you have any scrap you're looking to part with please consider donating it to a restoration studio rather than throwing it out. Old paper can be a restorers best friend.

In my heydey of saving everything even damaged posters.. I would save pieces of poster in envelopes.. heck i was so bad I even saved BROken Glass Movie slides.. I couldnt bring myself to throw them Out.. I would tape parts Of Harold lloyd slides and bbebe Daniels.. because i could still see the historic value of preserving them// I think i still have parts of posters somwhere.. I also saveing partsof magazines as old movie mags are a treasure trove of data and images and Hollywood details,, i am a recovering Obsessive madman dealer/ collector.. BUt i am becomeing healthier by the minute( maybe:).. sunday I took a entire Pickup full of Books to the salvation army and didnt flinch.. it can be overcome.. so I am in the posters missingpieces DONT offend me.. they just bug the hell out of me tryig to get the missing pieces.. I am looking for a microphone cord for a Mic that was used st Universal studios in the 50s 60 but electrovoice doesnt even have one and a guy that does would have me buy another mike to get the cord.! Its a shotgun long distance( tele) mic for making Movies.( guess who its For:) I do find this Mic offensive..I am about ready to turn it into a lightsaber PROP and be over it! ... But in defence of posters in pieces.. they are still representative of that film that time and with some nurtureing by a restorer can be mended for future.. I mean look if i went to a barn and found a poster with pig poop chicken poop , straw , mud and holes in it but it was like a original " Chaplin" or early vitagraph or edison poster or even a 1950s whatever,, I would do my best to move the elements to a retoratin person and hope it could be saved.. see... I am sane as they come..

I admit I go both ways on this issue. They're up on my walls; restored and backed with new frames and untouched at all w/old.
I just can't decide which way I like it better.
However, you hit the nail on the head with 'posters with missing pieces offend me.' ME, TOO!

side by side, i have displayed one sheets of DOUBLE INDEMNITY & POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE. my POSTMAN is mint on linen. my DOUBLE INBEMITY has seen better days--seam separation and other wear (but no missing pieces and crisp corner).
I have no desire to linen back my DOUBLE INDEMNITY.
I am not willing to pay a lot more for a "mint" linen backed poster. what's the point??? we all know these are old pieces of paper. so long as it is framed, it okay.
POSTERS WITH MISSING PIECES OFFEND ME. HIGH-END ITEMS WITH CHARACTER ARE BEAUTIFUL framed just as they are!!!
