Nothing wrong with the description here, maybe a few better pictures
would help.
Michael, As far as linen backing goes, you sound a bit hysterical, but I
respect your views.
I am not sure what you collect, but being overly protective or paranoid
about the conservation needs for you old deteriorating posters would
leave you fully responsible as the temporary safe keeper.
The purpose of conservation and restoration is preservation, so future
generations can enjoy these fantastic images.
One must really understand paper, and in this case Vintage movie paper.
Vintage movie poster where never printed on quality paper, since they
were meant to be thrown away anyway.
Best,
Dario.

bruce sold an unbacked good condition last week of the Spiral
Staircase for less than the opening price on the linen-back one sheet
offered on ebay. (i was watching it because i would like to buy the
insert or half sheet.)
so, the question is...........as nice and thorough as this seller
seems to be, can you really know what work was done from an ebay ad?
