Date Sold 10/15/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked Video One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Ying hung boon sik (released in the U.S. in 1993 as "A Better Tomorrow"), the 1986 John Woo Hong Kong kung fu martial arts action crime thriller ("Brothers by blood. Enemies by chance. Killers by nature.") starring Lung Ti, Leslie Cheung, Emily Chu, Chow Yun-Fat, and Waise Lee If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was for the video release of this movie, not the theatrical release. 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 very well, OR the poster had more significant defects (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. The poster was never folded, but it had many creases in the bottom 6". Note that this is one of a large group of one-sheets we were consigned, which were all linenbacked by the same restorer. They are all posters from the 1970s to present, and they were simply mounted onto a very thin linen backing, with approximately 2" of excess linen left of on all four sides of the poster. We are not really sure what purpose the backing served, because the posters had little wrong with them to begin with (and the restorer simply backed them without performing restoration), and the restorer left more excess linen than is normal, but some or all of it could easily be trimmed off. Note that in the case of this particular poster, the poster is slightly "lifting" from the linen in the borders (but it could be easily re-attached by a professional or a talented amateur).
