• I generally think "simple is best" when it comes to movie posters, though there are many notable exceptions.  "Veronica Mars" is a clever twist on the generally overused and boring "every character's face" theme, since it frames the characters' face…

• The Pink Floyd Back Catalog advertisement is an image that has been reprinted a zillion times, but this is a huge format subway poster that I managed to order out of the UK in the late 1990s.  It's the same size as the Grateful Dead poster from Lond…

• Here is the stack of folded posters that are going to be restoration practice fodder.  More bad photography.  The Star Wars re-release with the "Revenge of the Jedi" tag is surprisingly not valuable, and this one has heavy fold damage.  Brainstorm i…

  Movie posters hanging in the hallway.  Serenity is a DVD release poster that will eventually be replaced by the Flash Gordon one sheet pictured above. (I love Firefly/Serenity, and if it was the theatric…

• Here are a few more of my better, but terrible condition, posters.  They came from a very stylish 1950s house, and the entire basement/bomb shelter area was wallpapered in early 1960s travel posters.  The estate sale company tried to get the owner o…

• I have a very large Grateful Dead poster which was being held together by massive amounts of clear tape on the back.  Some of the adhesive has left the paper in a rather translucent state, even after cleaning with lighter fluid.  Is there a recommen…

• Hello!  I ran across this forum while trying to find some information on conservation/restoration of some vintage posters I've acquired over the years that I would like to display.  They run across several genres, from movies to 1950s/60s travel pos…
