Orrrrrr, cut your losses by putting them up for sale, 'as is' and
recoup some of your investment from someone else who might want to
invest in the restoration. That's right, it's a 'lose/lose'
proposition since you'll be upside down on the poster if you have it
restored so
you'll lose some $$ that way, or you'll likely lose $$ selling the
poster as is.
Happy New Year, Evan

$100 worth of work sounds very minimal to me. Bite the bullet. Get
an accurate estimate. If they're really in such bad shape, I don't
think $100 will do it. Then determine if you think the posters are
worth it and if not, junk them. An alterative is just get them
backed without retouching, since the retouching is the most
expensive part. Then find an art student to paint over the defects.

Subject: [MOPO] Needing Linen Backing -- Posters in abysmal condition
A question.
What do people do with posters which are in dire need of more
restoration that the poster is worth? I have serveral nice posters
worth about $100 which I paid about $100 for which need about $100
(at least) of work (including backing). I am not sure what to do
with them, as they are really not displayable in their current
state. I hate to throw them away, but I really don't feel like
throwing more money at them -- is there some sort of poster rescue?
