FRAMING YOUR LARGE
MOVIE POSTERS

Many collectors shy away from large size movie posters because they are more difficult to preserve and display. But have no fear -- Sue Heim is here!

Frame expert, Sue Heim of Hollywood Poster Frames, has written a great article for LAMP entitled "TIPS FOR FRAMING: OVERSIZE POSTERS."

In addition, we have re-worked the entire framing article, Framing Movie Poster Collectibles.

Collectors should read these articles before taking their valuable collectible posters to be framed.

LAMP'S Poster Restoration Certificate

Have you ever bought a "restored" movie poster? Exactly what was done to it? Was paper replaced? Was it repainted? What chemicals were used to remove stains, marks, etc.? How was it linenbacked?

For years, we have advocated the need for some type of record reflecting renovations done to a particular poster. This record could then be transferred with the exchange of ownership of a poster.

Having a record of a poster's restoration can have many benefits. For example, certain chemicals do not mix and can have an adverse affect on a poster. This information is essential for subsequent repairs to a restored poster. The type and amount of restoration can affect the value of a poster. Poster buyers and sellers can use this information to more adequately evaluate the poster. This information is also helpful for financial records such as insurance.

We have designed a three page certificate that we are making available to collectors to use to record their poster restorations. Simply print out the form and send it to the poster restorer with the poster.

For the instructions and the forms, click HERE.
