if I need a poster and don't expect to see it
again, I will buy it on linen rarely
if I have a nm linenbacked copy, but I am offered
a VG unbacked copy, I will buy the unbacked copy
& sell the linenbacked copy that was in nicer condition
Rich
ps. less than 1% of my collection is linenbacked

Dear Rick,
Iâm a relatively new contributor/member to
MoPo but am currently having a lot of
restoration work on some of my posters completed
in Canada by an amazing guy, who I can not
recommend highly enough. We are so pleased with
his work that we are sending him regular consignments of posters from the UK.
Iâd like to know though, from an industry
perspective, is restoration/linen backing seen
as a draw or a detractor when considering an investment purchase (as a buyer)?
Kind regards
Clare

Looks like the "touch-up" work an unnamed
restorer did to a San Quentin title card I
bought at a Ray Courts show about 15 years
ago. Apparently, the card must have
half-disintegrated during its acid-wash process
of restoration...which unfortunately included
the faces of the stars. What was painted in
made Bogie look like Mickey Mouse and Ann
Sheridan slightly better, but unrecognizable as
Ann Sheridan. It was so horrible, I didn't want
to frame it on my wall or even look at
it. Reminded me of the first Mr. Bean film and
what he did with the Mona Lisa. The problem
was. I didn't buy the title card for re-sale. I
wanted to put it on my wall as a part of my
collection. A few years later, I sold the card
for less than a third of what I hand invested in it.
In retrospect, I think I probably should have
given it back to the restorer to fix...but after
that debacle I didn't want anything to do with
that unnamed restorer. Somebody out there has
it, but I truly doubt if it's hanging on their
wall... Rick

Frescoes are the hardest to restore because of

authorized her to restore the fresco, when they
saw her painting over it they should have removed her. FRANC
