Auction History Result 7w189 TIM MCCOY 1sh 1940s portraits of classic cowboy with horse, Outlaws of the Rio Grande! Date Sold 10/15/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Tim McCoy, the circa late 1930s or early 1940s cowboy western stock poster for Tim McCoy movies. Frugal theater owners would get one of these posters and use it every time they showed a Tim McCoy movie (they could write the title in the blank area, or glue on a paper snipe getting many uses out of a single poster!).

Important Added Info: Note that this is a stock poster created by Producers Releasing Corp. for Tim McCoy westerns. It uses the same image and credits as the Tim McCoy film "Arizona Gangbusters". What IS linenbacking? "Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction either was not linenbacked all that well, OR the poster had more significant defects that were well corrected or both (you can tell which type it is by reading our written comments about the poster's condition). In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: good to very good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, creases, tiny tears, and tiny paper loss on some foldlines, and some pinholes around the edges of the poster. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I can imagine some collectors displaying this poster just as it is, and accepting the defects and signs of restoration, although other collectors would only display it if it had additional restoration.
