Forgive the very novice question, but I have wondered about this. I do not own anything backed and likely would never back a poster. Once a poster is backed, would it ever be possible to "unback" the poster without damaging it?

Thanks,
Matthew

There has been some discussion/questions about this from a couple threads, up in the Restoration board, too:

Haven’t bough very many posters recently but this Romanian for the Italian caper 7 Golden Men really caught my eye!

Gorgeous design. Congrats!

Very unusual.

Very cool Romanian poster indeed.

Well done L.E.!

Thanks! I actually have quite a collection of posters for this film and its equally fun sequel, but apart from this one they all seem to focus on the female criminal's various tight-fitting body suits... not that I complain!

Chris9000 · « **Reply #83 on:** April 17, 2018, 12:27:39 PM »

Awesome art, Rumble.

I know nothing about the film, but that design's right up my alley. Congrats.

Really nice looking poster, there, rumble.

It's an eye catcher, for sure!!

Seven Golden Men and Seven Golden Men Strike Again are a pair of Italian movies from the 60s, centrering on intricate heists to steal lots of gold (obviously!) One member of the gang is actually female and has a penchant for dressing in extravagant clothes... I’ve got the Japanese DVDs and as I said quite a big collection. This is the Spanish poster (not my photo but I actually own it in two sizes!) that communicates the general gist of most of the posters - sexy and fun!

2 recent acquisitions for my Hammer collection: an Italian 2P for Two Faces of Dr Jekyll (art by Martinati) and an Italian 1P for Plague of the Zombies.

erik1925 · « **Reply #87 on:** April 17, 2018, 09:37:06 PM »

Nice pair there, Ben.

Ive always really liked Martinati's style, too, as well as his great use of color.

movieposters · « **Reply #88 on:** April 17, 2018, 10:48:22 PM »

yes...very nice - artists from Italy were light years ahead when it came to creating beautiful film posters.

If you want to see another amazing poster by Martinati, check out this 1954 Italian 'Them!' 4-Folio HA auctioned in 08'. Not sure I've seen a 50's sci-fi poster that could compete...

Very sexy poster. Out of interest are the other two sizes that you have the same design exactly and what size are they?

Really looking forward to this one...

"Every family tree hides a secret" Love the caption on this one - so true. Heard the film is brutal...

Chris, curious, what are you using to hold the poster flat?

no. it's been damaged further bu the restoration process. it can be removed from it's backing, by an expert, but it will never be 'what it was' again.

Chris9000 · « **Reply #94 on:** April 20, 2018, 07:48:44 AM »

Thanks, MoviePosters.

I've heard it's pretty intense as well. Looks like a "slow burn" horror, which is right up my alley.

My weights are a stack of (4) large stainless steel washers epoxied together.

The picture above is of the Spanish one-sheet, which is 70*100 centimetres. The other one I have from Spain is the same central image but has bigger text - it looks more like an advertising poster than a movie poster. As I recall it is about twice the size of the one-sheet, so more like an Italian duo-foglio.

Which reminds me, the Italian posters for this movie are also very cool - similar style imagery but by other artists!

What do you mean "Epoxied" together?

erik1925 · « **Reply #97 on:** April 21, 2018, 03:33:12 PM »

aka: "glued" together.

As a horror fan when I'm not doing the Bond thing, thought it was about time I pulled the trigger on these two (images aren't mine btw):

I've wanted them for years, but never actually took the time to acquire them!

Simes · « **Reply #99 on:** May 01, 2018, 07:35:59 PM »

Where did you find them?
