A few posters that I know I'm going to keep I have gotten restored. I don't plan on selling them off. They are from movies that I love. As for other posters in my collection that I plan on selling; they won't get restored. I feel restoration works for posters that you plan on keeping if the poster needs some major help. Leave up to the buyer of a poster to restore it themselves.

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU I actually had one of my employees suggest to me that we should "punch up" the images of items we sell, and I told him that we NEVER do that (he is new, or he would have already known that). Of course, there is no way to know if others feel the same way (at least until you get your package and compare the item you get to the image you saw).

Presumably not a result of restoration judging by the listing, but was it really actually that vibrant, or did the colour reproduction exacerbate it online?

First, because the restorers were in effect hiding their restoration, making it impossible to see exactly what was done (and a long time pro like myself could spot some restoration that most amateurs would never see, creating a "fear of restoration" among many collectors). Second, because many of these items were SO restored that they looked almost like "recreations". I LIKE the items in my collection to show at least SOME signs of age, unless they are in truly mint unrestored condition, because that is part of the joy of owning an original, knowing that it survived all these years. If you want a perfect looking item, why not just get a reproduction? But don't take your "very good" condition and have someone make them look like new. If you MUST restore, why not simply do minimal restoration to the areas that most need it?
