[MOPO] Linen Backing on Bruce Hershenson offering
Bruce -- I was curious, were these one-sheets all linen-backed by the same person? Can you tell us who did the linen-backing, or is that confidential to the consignor?

Re: [MOPO] Linen Backing on Bruce Hershenson offering
You may be surprised to hear this, but this is a 5 YEAR accumulation of consignments from around 100 different consignors! They are ones where I received them with others with better quality restoration, and I held these back because I didn't think it was fair for them to be tucked in with better quality ones (as so many of the ethically challenged auctions do, glossing over their many defects, and describing them as fine on linen, with some restoration). In each case, I e-mailed the consignor, and told them that I could either return the poster to them, or hold it for a special lesser linen auction I would do once I had enough of these. To a man, all of the consignors said That's fine, and that is where these posters came from. Maybe in five more years I will accumulate enough like this for a second such auction! As to WHO did the restoration, I imagine just about EVERY restorer who ever worked on posters are represented here. I would bet that some fair number came from restorers that advertise linenbacking for 10 one-sheets for $300, and then after they have them backed they tell the owner that it only includes minimal restoration, and THESE are often the results. In many cases, the posters can simply be removed from the existing linen, and be properly backed and restored, just as they should have been in the first place. Of course, the many, many restorers on this list should strongly consider bidding on some of these, as they can surely restore some of them and make easy money!

*Mopoters, First, No laughing matter about the Star is Born poster. *http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detailAuction_uid1=1587544 http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detailAuction_uid1=1587544 *Again, Bruce makes headlines being first in the world to auctioning of a Botox injected poster. End of the day, these are great auctions, an opportunity to pick sumpsing up for cheap and give it a face lift. Naturally For fun, I scrutinized the auction to see if any of my work was up for sale. Even the titles that I have worked on in the past, I cross referenced with my restoration picture archive and not a single poster in this auction has gone through my hands. Having said that, I am sure that one day some of my very few lesser turn outs will be auctioned off. No matter how hard I try, I fail miserably to! The good news is, there's no one else but me to blame. The sun is setting, getting ready for pizza and a few good movies tonight. **All is well. * *dario. * Bruce Hershenson wrote: You may be surprised to hear this, but this is a 5 YEAR accumulation of consignments from around 100 different consignors!

I will only bid on this poster if a restorer agrees, in advance, to give Judy pigtails and change the title to The Wizard of Oz. I can't afford an actual Oz poster.
