Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

I had a few hundred posters backed many years ago but rarely get anything backed these days. I have found that posters that I had backed by some restorers have deteriorated over the years, developing foxing and other issues. Some of these posters now need to be rebacked. I wrote two detailed

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

Hi Scott , the problem is that a lot of linenbacked posters were linenbacked because of condition , in order to restore with the linenbacking itself not being the goal . It's not automatic but at least here in france for the majority of french linenbacked posters i have seen linenbacking

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

Scott, in my opinion, the biggest problem is the entire lack of documentation. In this digital age, it would not be much of a challenge to take before and after photos of every poster during the linenbacking process. Then again, most dealers do not have any interest in that, linenbackers

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

I happen to love linen backed posters - much easier to frame and handle especially on the larger formats. I have the eye poster from 2001 and in great condition and I thought long and hard to keep it as is or have it lb, I decided not to have it backed and now that it is framed I wish I had And

Hi Scott and all - Thought it might be helpful to chime in regarding this linen backing/restoration thread: For linen backed posters, if you hold up the poster with really good sun light coming through, any restoration work ( holes, missing paper etc) should be clearly visible. I am sure

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

Nearly as much dissension about linen backing as about religion! Celebrated my 70th birthday a couple of weeks ago so not too worried about my diet - or the Guinness.Think I might have the small Czech poster backed and leave the Deer Hunter one for now. On 23 June 2017 at 15:18, Helmut Hamm

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

Sounds like we have few fans of backing so far. But what if the poster is on really fragile paper? I have some Belgian posters that are in decent shape (no paper loss, no image damage), but age is catching up with them and the paper is starting to become brittle. Wouldn't it be wise to get

Don't listen to Filip. Do you REALLY want to drink your Guiness in a pub for the rest of your life, because you can't stand looking at those cheaply framed, unbacked posters in your home? Home drinking saves a lot of money, so the small expense for linenbacking will be returned in no time. And

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

Tommy, if you like linenbacking, go for it. From an investment aspect, high grade unbacked posters are a better choice. On the other hand, chances are good that your posters will look much nicer in the frame after a quality backing. Also, your beer and donuts diet probably won't allow you to

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

I'm Irish - I love donuts and fish 'n' chips (and Guinness). Thanks to you and Michael for your opinions, though I'm still not sure as to what I'll do. I quite like backed posters, and have a fair number of backed one sheets, etc., and I am very happy with the people who do the work. The very

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

you get my vote too , all you need is a good tight frame ... if you plan to perhaps at some point sell these posters note that many collectors are not too fond of linenbacked posters (so you may reduce the number of potential buyers) for several reasons : you don't really know the amount of
