I know this may have been covered in some other corner of the interweb, but after reading the thread "off the radar", I would like to know experiences you have all had with Linen backing to full restorations. I am of the thought, head straight to Studio "C" for anything in this area. I thought Posterfix was one of the better one's though it seems not.

I have only ever had three posters done, the first at I think they were called Vintage poster company down London, and would never use them again in a million years. The second was someone from Ebay who just did a basic linen-backing which was jolly good, and Studio "C", which had some restoration done as well, and was first rate. I don't have any before pics, which I should have taken. Though I got them done well before I started going on Poster forums, and Taking photo's of them.    

CSM:
Others to consider based on opinions of collectors I trust:

Dario Casadei (http://members.shaw.ca/vintagemovieart/)

Precision Restoration (Sylvia Locken - http://www.precisionrestoration.net/)

Jaime Mendez - IF you can get past the whole Universal Horror scandal, the work I have seen is great (http://www.restorationbyjm.com/)

Dread_Pirate_Mel:
I like checking out the before/after pictures and what posters other collectors think are worth repairing.  Poster Mountain has a huge database of repaired posters in reverse chronological order:

Postermountain (although his authentication skills are questionable)
Dario Cassadei (in recent years I have only used Dario, but then again, in the last 5 years I've only had 2 posters worked on)
Poster Conservation in CT

Are they in order of preference, Rich?
