you get my vote too , all you need is a good tight frame ... if you plan to perhaps at some point sell these posters note that many collectors are not too fond of linenbacked posters (so you may reduce the number of potential buyers) for several reasons : you don't really know the amount of restoration done until you get the poster for someone collecting quantity with limited space at home for the collection storing linenbacked posters is not like storing originally folded posters . the money you spend on linenbacking a perfect poster , which once displayed doesn't look better then in its original condition , can be better spend in buying healthier food then cheap donuts and fish 'n chips so you may live longer to enjoy your posters etc ...

Hello No. Why would you want to do that?! If there is extensive physical damage you want corrected or you find the fold lines unbearably distracting, then go for it. Otherwise, just get them framed for sure. The extra process and cost is completely unnecessary and things can go wrong between the poster leaving your nice place and coming back, backed by somebody who may not be as skilled as advertised or was in a rush and had a bad day. It's a risk and unless you love living on the edge, I'd vote against backing time and time again.

I have a small Czech poster of Cabaret and an English double crown of Deer Hunter (Russian roulette style) both in excellent condition, but the paper is quite flimsy. Should I get these backed for framing?
