I like to use massive amounts of plastic brown tape on the back of
tears and the like and I make sure I use enough to cover those small
crossfold tears.. 3 or 4 pieces of 3 inch long & 3 inch wide tape
usually handles those pesky separations of an inch or less.

MovieArt uses both Lineco Transparent Paper and Book Mending Tape,

Both of these were locally available at art supply houses here in Austin.

Heritage Movie Posters uses Lineco Transparent Paper and Book
Mending Tissue, Archival Quality PH neutral. It is self-adhesive
and does not require moistening.
It lifts very easily with the use of Bestine and is always used on
the backside of the poster.
I am unaware of any archival issues with it and is used by book and
paper archivists worldwide.
Once placed on a tear it is so thin that the poster can be folded
or handled as before the application but without further damage due to tears.

I disagree. Despite what the distributor says, Filmoplast Tape is
NOT acid free, and it is NOT safe to use on old paper
stock. Depending on the paper stock, if Filmoplast Tape is applied
for a long time, there is a chance of discoloration and bleeding.
If you really want to repair your (valuable) posters yourself, I
would much rather recommend a gummed, japanese hinging paper,
usually a rice or mulberry paper.
The best quality has pre-torn edges, Hayaku brand is an excellent product:

Also, if using it, be sure to moisten it as lightly as possible.

*Conservation Tape (P90 Filmoplast tape) - This is tape that is
safe for use on movie paper. You can use it on the back of items to
secure tears.
