Hi Folks -
Any Thunderball experts out there?
I have 2 mint sets of 1965 T'ball lobby cards in hand.
In one set the 2 card is the close-up and the other set the 2 card is

Then in other set the numbers are revered - the 2 card is the close-up.

Thanks for the response Bruce! It is comforting to know that youve come
across other posters like this from the same time period. I guess the
copyright wouldnt have lapsed until the 60s so it wouldnt have been in the
public domain until then. That would then make sense for it to be from the

It's likely from the 1938 re-release, because this coincides with the heyday
of the "other company" type companies.
I'd say it's surely not the "other company", Leader Press, or Woolever Press
(looks unlike those, and the last two wrote their name on almost all they
did).

Thanks all for your advice. My poster is thin paper stock, so it is sounding
like the majority would suggest backing onto linen (with all the various
caveats that have been raised). cheers MOPOers! n

And Franc, you are right, his films weren't a hit in the USA but he was one of
biggest stars in the UK for most of the 1950s & early 1960s.
Physical comedy can be sublimely hilarious when done well and crushingly awful
when done badly. He did it pretty darn well!

Todd is quite correct. Linen and paper are two totally different materials.
When you glue one to the other, over time, the stronger material will win
out and ruin the weaker material. But rolling up posters on linen is only
one part of the problem. The other part is that paper and canvas

I truly hate paper-backing. Posters that have been paper-backed are
inconvenient to store since you can't roll them. I'm also not fond of
heavy stock posters that are linen-backed. I try to avoid both when
purchasing for resale, since I believe it will really lower the value of
all but the rarest o
Neil,
According to any "good" paper conservationist, you should NEVER back paper
artifacts with any kind of canvas. The rule of thumb is to always use "like"
materials. If you mount a paper poster on linen, it's no loner a paper
poster. It's not a hybrid. Paper backing is more expensive, but if you

remember distinctly that HE made the show. His films did not make much

Harry,
This is an "other" company printed poster by an independent printer and
obviously not by the studio(United Artists).
Was printed on yellow stock paper and since it's 27x41, I'm sure it's the
original size and not trimmed.
Even with the risque artwork, it's very possible it's from the 19
I would have to agree with Neil, hard stock posters do NOT perform as well over
time when linen backed. My collection of over 300 30x40's and 40x60's have very

having been rolled too tightly over the years. I don't know if
Hi, Neil,
I've always heard that one sheet-type stock posters (1-Sheets, 3-Sheets,
6-Sheets, Foreign 1-Sheets, etc) are best to be linen-backed, while
heavier stock posters (1/2 Sheets, Insets, 30x40's, 40x60's) and lobby cards
are
best to have paper-backed. At times, when I see that a

I have a 90cm x 125cm german film poster from 1930 that needs backing. It's
