Jeez, I read his descrip and I could not find mention of 'foam.' He just says 'mounted.' What a waste and what an outrageous price.

For those who haven't been in the hobby that long, the process of DRY MOUNTING a movie poster was considered a good thing by many 25 or 30 years ago. IT ISN'T. Where the value of the poster is concerned, it must be carefully REMOVED from the foam core by a competent restorer and then linen-backed (a process which costs at least $200). The only positive thing about a poster being DRY MOUNTED is that generally the poster remains in remarkably good condition over the 25 or 30 years of its being adhered to foam core. The only problem is GETTING IT OFF! I sent a message to the seller with the Revenge Of The Jedi one sheet and he basically said it was "all Greek" to him. I think the fact that the poster is DRY MOUNTED should be more prominent in his description, but, hey, who's gonna spend twelve hundred bucks for a REVENGE OF THE JEDI one sheet these days anyway, right?
