Hi, Sue,
Sure, it can be restored, but that costs $200 to $250 and as a result is
you have a lesser-valued restored linen-backed poster. That alone would
bring the value of this particular Revenge Of The Jedi down to the $250 to
$300
range as-is, I would think---if the seller's lucky. Otherwise some poor
sap's gonna pay top dollar for it and be in for a surprise when he (or she)
realizes the error they've made.

Well, and he may have just assumed it was 27x40, but an original Revenge
is 27x41. Drymounting can be reversed fairly easily by a
linenbacker/restorer. I have it done all the time. Drymounting or some type of
mounting was
fairly common years ago. So was trimming the poster to 27x40 to fit a stock
frame kit. That 1" difference can be restored also.

Hey, for any prospective buyers, I'm not even certain the poster is
mounted to foam core---the situation could be worse. I just assumed it was
foam
core because that's what was primarily used back in 1982 for
"preservation". Rick

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.

This is most likely the real deal, but the poster has been DRY MOUNTED TO
FOAM CORE. 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?
