Freeman,
I should have said "It is also why a restored on linen poster,
even one that "looks mint",is never going to bring in as much money a
non-backed poster, if the non-backed poster is in C8 or better condition (as
defined by Jon Warren) AND BOTH POSTERS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET AT THE SAME
TIME." Obviously, if it is a rare poster and there is only one copy
available and it happens to be "restored on linen" (meaning it has considerably
more than minor fold touch-up) and several people want it, it will probably
bring in more than an unbacked, unrestored C9 sold for several years ago.
But you're not seriously going to tell me you or any other
informed serious collector is going to prefer (and pay more for) a "restored on
linen" if at the same time they could purchase an unbacked, unrestored C8, 9 or
10 are you?
I still thinkall "minty white unrolled" inserts are
fakes -- or at least have to considered so until they can be compared
*physically* by experts against a known original. Sorry, but I do. I know many
others disagree, and they may be may be right -- but I have to goby my
own40 years of collecting experience and I personally have never seen
30-year old insert paper that hasn't aged at least atiny bit -- it wasn't
that high of quality paper to start with. Time takes its toll no matter how
carefully something is stored.
Finally, you must have me confused with someone else about
saying "all re-release one sheetsare always less in value than their
original year of release" because I don't happen to believe that is true in all
cases (but certainly it is in 90% of the cases). If I did say that in a moment
of sloppy writing, I meant to say "most re-releases..." not "all".

Jr,
You stated with absolute certainty the following
". It is also why a restored on linen poster, even one that
"looks mint",is never going to bring in as much money a non-backed poster,
if the non-backed poster is in C8 or better condition (as defined by Jon Warren
at):
JR. I can disprove that statement100 fold
rendering thatdeclaration to its knees. Now are you sure you want to
go to that near-to-mint, un restored, original release edition of
famous quotes we should have known betterlike"all minty white
inserts are fakes" or "all re-release onesheetsare always less in
value than their original year of release".
Okay I didn't think you didyour absolved.
