It used to be that I would never have even considered line-backing or paper-backing any of my posters. There was a time when if a poster was LB'd or PB'd the poster would be worth less. Not today! It's amazing to me what some LB'd posters bring on ebay. And most times there is no telling what was done.
However these days I have the philosophy that if I get a poster I truly want and it has a lot of damage I will have it LB'd or PB'd. I will have only the minimal amount of work done. I still like to see some flaws in a poster. It gives the poster character. If I wanted the restoration picture perfect I could commission an artist to paint me a picture.

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!!!
