To circle back to the LB part of the discussion, I suppose I am one of the few that likes to linenback posters to facilitate framing and storage - and it's certainly no issue to buy a poster already LB, though I prefer to know who did the work and the pre-LB condition. For me, it's all about the t

This poster is a 1975 reissue.. as stated.. but why do you claim it to be a rarer reissue? Nowhere in your description do you explain why that is. Your opinion simply stating it as rare doesnt make it so. What makes this a more scarce item? thanks. -kerry On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 11:36 AM, M

I wish every backer would mark their work somehow (with a seal, emblem or something). Not only so i would know who to stay away from when I see horrible work, but it is tremendous word of mouth for the more talented restorers, as when you see a great looking piece you want to use that person.

I think this has more to do with the size of the hobby than anything else. If there were more than a few thousand active collectors, there would surely be buyers for posters like these. Right now, there is an imbalance in the hobby, with more items for sale than there are buyers. This creates lots
