a) removable acid free tape is a repair that must be disclosed. (restoration through backing would have or might have hidden the defect totally depending upon damage and the ability of restorer.) b) scotch tape or any brown tape on a poster must be disclosed. .....and where the hell did they get that brown ugly tape 20 years ago? c) tape residue is a damage.... i purchased from you, bruce, ROPE insert 2 years ago (LINK from bruce site: _http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/poster/61933.html_ (http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/poster/61933.html) ) which has 3 residue, yellow tape stains. these areas i saw before bidding, and do not consider them offensive. this poster is one of my favorites, and I framed it "as is". i know that many might have "airbrused" them into oblivion. not me. it is fine. (btw, 6 months ago i picked up the half sheet of this rarer title on ebay---love this film!!!) ------ bruce------on your other posting this morning about edgar bergen, you wrote: "As to the poster's condition, it was really not too bad, and could be easily corrected through linenbacking (although as we have all learned, that is to be avoided at all costs!)." wow!!!!! what a bold pronouncement (considering MOPO's milieu in the last 2 days) to which, obviously, i agree totally. i will defend you if you are attacked on MOPO for this !!!!! michael
