I have regularly heard the word 'patina' also used by experts in
describing the finish of antique wood furniture, porcelain and all kinds
of other physical objects of art. Applying it to a poster is
questionable, but I suppose one could use it to describe the look of the
surface... i.e., that the paper appears old, has some staining and
surface wear, etc. But it's a bit of a stretch. I find it hard to
believe that someone with 131 feedback who lives in New York would be so
naive as to list a genuine 1946 half-sheet for NOTORIOUS with a Buy It
Now of only $35, but I suppose it could happen. I see someone has
already been snapped it up at the Buy It Now price. Heck, even if it is
a decent quality repro, it's probably worth that much.
