Now this is how you restore a poster!!
When I visited Las Vegas in 2011 I got quite friendly with a memorabilia store in Manadalay Bay hotel. Whilst buying my signed framed Total Recall poster he showed me a 'Twins' 10 x 8 picture signed by both Arnold and Danny DeVito. As tempted as I was I left it as I'd rather have a poster.
About 6 months go by and I get an email from them telling me that they have just found me a signed Twins poster, but not in the best shape..... I bought it and this was what arrived -
Obviously in a very very bad shape, but I expected this.
I then searched around the internet for a poster restorer to have it restored and linen backed. I found someone, and sent the poster over to him. He had it for a few weeks, and the day came when it would come back. The guy told me not to expect miracles as the poster was in bad shape...... I didn't know what to expect, especially as he had only charged me £65!
This is what I received back -
Needless to say I was over the moon, and it just proves that no matter how bad you buy something at, you can get it fixed.
This is now framed and waiting to be hung on a wall when I buy a house next year
