Hi Guys,*
*
I always try to leave some blemishes and leave the paper as natural as
possible. NSS bleeds should never be removed!
Although very personal, I think a good restoration is an honest
restoration which means it is detectable up close and as you move away
from the poster to normal viewing distance, it should all come together
looking as natural/good as possible. Naturally all of this depends on
what you have to work with. I guess this is more important than ever,
due to the Universal scandal.
Best,
dario.

I personally agree with this. I didn't like the "make it look perfect"
school of restoration even *BEFORE* the Haggard scandal broke.
First, because the restorers were in effect hiding their restoration,
making it impossible to see exactly what was done (and a long time pro
like myself could spot some restoration that most amateurs would never
see, creating a "fear of restoration" among many collectors).
Second, because many of these items were *SO *restored that they
looked almost like "recreations". I *LIKE *the items in my collection
to show at least *SOME *signs of age, unless they are in truly mint
unrestored condition, because that is part of the joy of owning an
original, knowing that it survived all these years. If you want a
perfect looking item, why not just get a reproduction? But don't take
your "very good" condition and have someone make them look like new.
If you *MUST *restore, why not simply do minimal restoration to the
areas that most need it?

Regarding the Heritage auction: I do believe the fakes scandal
hurt the hobby, plus many of the restored posters look like they
were cut, bleached, washed, starched & dried. I'll take old Igor
back anyday.......
