[MOPO] Poster Restoration
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.

Re: [MOPO] Poster restoration & their equivalence to fine art
Yeah, that's right. Michael Jackson's face was probabaly worked on by the moral equivalent of a Eugene Hughes or a Joe DePrenda or a Joe Hernandez. Paraphrasing: "The defendant is an immoral, lying stinking rat with the ethics of a child molestor! But hey, I don't wanna cast no aspersions." -- "Take the Money and Run" (1969, written and directed by Woody Allen).

Re: [MOPO] Poster Restoration
Wow You guys are the best. I'll try to answer several questions here. I'm located in Syracuse, NY but don't mind shipping the poster(s) to the left coast. The poster in question is a Mean Streets. I have quite the Robert Deniro collection. In fact I have originals of every one of his movies including advances, regulars, inserts etc. Hundreds of different versions. Anyhow as you can imagine I have a few that need restoration. Most I collect are near mint to mint. But one of my Taxi Drivers (have three in all) could use repair too. I could probably find a few Bond posters that need some work as well. Looks like I'll try Jaime Mendez and Precision Restoration. Thanks A Ton everybody!

[MOPO] Poster Restoration
Hi All I have a poster (one of my favorites) that has a 2 inch chunk missing in the top left hand corner. There are also some tack holes in the other corners. It's an older poster from the 60's but quite meaningful to me. I recently saw it sell for $300. If it was a $10 poster I obviously would just try to buy one in better condtion. Does anybody know if a restorer can repair it and add paper to match perfectly? If so can u recommend a good restoror. How much should something like this cost?
