[MOPO] Poster Restoration

[Chris Cloutier]

Here is a video about a place that linen backs posters. Posterfix--We can 
recreate small typography- "The fine Print" as well as image recreation,
paper fills and retouched creases abd fold lines. They have a three month 
baglog of jobs requiring a lot of restoration. If the postersneed backing only, 
then its just 3 weeks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZRNtjpqYNI

also our website shows a lot of projects covered in photo detail.

Thanks.

Chris Cloutier

Re: [MOPO] Needing Linen Backing -- Posters in abysmal condition

[Phil Edwards]

Depends on whether you like the poster itself or like the value of the poster 
more, I guess and whether you can find the equivalent poster for what less 
than what you have + a (realistic) linen backing/resto cost is worth.

And a happy 2009.

  Orr, 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.

  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?

[MOPO] 10% Off GREAT STUFF for DIRECT SALE!‏

[Todd Feiertag]

Happy New Year MoPo members!
 
The response since yesterday’s posting has been “extremely overwhelming” (yeah, 
right), so now take 10% off any items in the first group.  FREE SHIPPING still 
applies!
 
I have the following posters for direct sale even though they are currently 
listed on Fleabay.  Many are MINT, ROLLED and UNUSED, since I acquired them 
personally when the films were first released, 30 or so years ago.  I seriously 
doubt you will find any of these titles elsewhere in this truly UNUSED MINT 
Condition, especially the ones on heavy card stock!  I’ve sold these over the 
years to many dealers including many on MoPo.  I’m now down to just a handful 
of pieces left on most of the MINT titles, so here’s probably your last chance 
to acquire a truly MINT Condition poster if you’re looking for one of these 
titles.
 
You can view any of these items by clicking on the title to see them on 
Fleabay, but again, these items can be bought directly, plus you will save on 
shipping!
 
FREE SHIPPING included!!
 
ALIEN 1979 * SCI-FI HORROR * RARE 22x28 * ROLLED * MINT  $169.95
 
ALIEN 1979 * SCI-FI HORROR * RARE 30x40 * ROLLED * MINT  $395.95

JAWS 1975 * SPIELBERG * RARE 22x28 * ROLLED * MINT NR!!  $299.95  The Very Last 
One!!  I didn’t even keep one for myself.
 
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK 1980 George Lucas 14x36 MINT NR  $249.95
 
SUPERMAN '78 Christopher Reeve TRI-FOLDED 27x41 MINT NR  $59.95

GOLDFINGER 1964 * JAMES BOND 007 * CONNERY * PRESSBOOK!  $59.95
 
Here are some other Great Items with many MINT ones too!
 
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE 1955 Sci-Fi 27x41 HORROR 3-D!!   Unbacked & Unrestored 
$2250.00  Restored Linen Backed examples have consistently sold for $3,500.00 
over the last couple of years!
 
FREE EATS R52 Little Rascals COMEDY 1SHT Hal Roach MINT  $49.95

Re: [MOPO] CREDIT CRUNCH AND MOVIE POSTER HOBBY

[CK MacLeod]

Selective perception strikes deep.  Into your soul it will creep.
Extrapolating from short-term events to longer-term trends can also lead to
poor decisionmaking.  Can you give some specific examples showing how "movie
posters have plateaud and at worst are crashing" - preferably an assemblage
of meaningfully comparable data points?

I personally would have found it surprising if all of the economic
turbulence of the last few months didn't affect the poster trade like every
other trade.  On the other hand, business was a lot better this Christmas
season for me than I expected - and I've never observed my own little corner
of the collectibles trade being as heavily seasonal as other forms of
retailing.  (I mean, things can't be too bad when people are still willing
to pay $100 for a signed WHO P-P-P PLUGGED ROGER RABBIT? or $75 for a HOW
THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS Cindy Lou Who doll or $200 for a RETURN OF THE
JEDI Style A.)

To the extent we're still in a deflationary environment - meaning that many
people feel poorer and less certain of their ability to pay off debts once
incurred, or hold off on present expenditures in the expectation of lower
prices tomorrow - then a potentially significant stimulant to the trade may
be reduced.  On the other hand, like antiques and other art objects,
collectibles may "weather the storm" relatively well, especially if, as some
expect, attempts to stave off deflation and free credit eventually create an
inflationary environment instead.

The last I heard from the auction houses and others was that things were
going well.  I have no idea how much of it is or was propaganda.  I'd be
interested in real, concrete reporting as opposed to flights of fancy or
depression.

Re: [MOPO] CREDIT CRUNCH AND MOVIE POSTER HOBBY

[Richard Halegua Comic Art]

it depends on who is selling them

if you are Heritage or Bruce.. you're very simply - kicking ass -

but the days of the average guy selling his posters for top dollar 
are over, at least for the time being


fleaBay continues to slowly go down down down except for a few 
sellers like Dave and Sean, Marty Davis etc


I was starting to kick ass on MPB until the economic crunch slowed me 
down.. Hopefully, all the stuff I brought home last month will give 
MPB a little kick-start


but look, collectors have no real way to achieve top dollar on their 
own and this is how it always was until fleaBay opened up.
As a collector, you generally don't have access to the customers and 
as people have exited fleaBay as buyers and sellers, it hasn't 
helped. So collectors are back to where they were 15 years ago - 
selling to or consigning to a dealer, which ultimately is better for 
a collector anyway.


Most collectors who wish to sell aren't aware of all the work and 
costs associated with selling as well as the time element. You 
already have a job and to work another 10-20 hours a week trying to 
sell posters is not what you're looking to do. So when you consign or 
sell to a dealer, you're short-circuiting all that and you either get 
a check right away when you sell your collection, or over time if you 
consign and for 99% of all collectors, this is really the best way to go.


Those collectors who only have the very top posters however can sell 
very easily, though right now unless you are Heritage or Bruce, you 
probably can't get top dollars anyway, A Frankenstein 1 sheet will 
always sell no matter who owns it. But the rest.. well, you just gotta be Bruce

[MOPO] Needing Linen Backing -- Posters in abysmal condition

[Evan Zweifel]

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?

[Bruce Hershenson]

I don't think there is the slightest chance that
LEAVE-HER-TO-HEAVEN-3SH-ORIGINAL-MOVIE-POSTER-1945 is from 1945. I'd say
likely 1950s re-release (or maybe a Portal repro!).
