If pulp fiction is vintage i am officially old.

A competent framing professional with experience with movie posters will know how to frame a poster (without dry mounting) and deal with the folds, the tears however are tears and will be dealt with as well as possible, but if its actually an old poster and not that pulp fiction poster consider it part of the character.

Ugh .. . Vintage?

Um, the poster is worthless without the folds.
Movie posters (Official) are always folded and are fakes without the folds.

You could probably just get a large mat for it and a nicer frame and it will look a lot better, to have it repaired. If you watch Antiques Roadshow, '60s concert posters are usually in rough shape but always worth a couple thousand bucks.

I agree with the others though, this poster is definitely not "vintage." Not even retro...

Not sure about how much restoration they do, but San Art framing on 7th Avenue in Brooklyn does a great job... and is significantly cheaper than other framing stores. After being quoted prices of $200-$300 dollars for a job, they did it for $110.

I was a concessionaire from 1989-1990, and the general manager of a multiplex from 1992-1996. From AT LEAST the late 1980s, movie posters were shipped to theatres rolled in tubes and did not need to be folded. I say at least because the basement of my first theatre was filled with tubes of old posters, several years' worth at minimum.

I've still got the poster shown above, which I framed and hung in my office. It was subsequently autographed by Dick Dale (whose music is a highlight of the great soundtrack) when he and his band stopped in for a movie on their way out of town after a gig.

You can remove some of the creases with an iron. I've done so before with a poster I brought back from Europe in a small suitcase. Make sure to use a low setting (no steam or else it could ruin the paper) and apply heat to a sheet of paper on top of the poster.

I'm not sure if the poster you're referring to is actually Pulp Fiction (or whether we're just being misled by a stock photograph), but if it is, and if you just like the look but have no affinity for the actual thing itself, plenty of stores sell the Pulp Fiction posters as new. Try near college campuses.

I had a vintage movie poster restored and linen backed for my boyfriend. I couldn't find anyone near me so I called a few poster sellers and they recommended Leigh Adamson at Renovo Restoration in Portland. I shipped it to her and she called me to go over everything that could be done to restore it. It cost around $200 and she did a fantastic job. The framing was done in our city and was very expensive, we actually had to wait a few years before we could afford it.

At allposters.com you can get in new for about $7. You can also choose to have it framed.

Since the poster in the image above is already framed, I'm assuming you're not talking about a Pulp Fiction poster. How you handle restoration and framing depends on how valuable the poster is. Check out what similar pieces are going for (the International Vintage Poster Dealers Association website is a good start.) If you find out you have something rare, call one of the dealers and ask for framing referrals. They're happy to do this.

If what you have isn't rare and valuable, then DIY is a possibility.

P.S. Be aware that some vintage movie posters are worth tens of thousands of dollars. It's really important to know what you have before you proceed.

Honestly, I'd check groupon until they have a framing deal (which they seem to have once a month) and then take it there. Best way to save cash!

We sublet our studio from a vintage poster & art restorer. His name is Chris, he's a nice guy, no clue what he charges though. If you want to inquire here is his website:

If you're in NYC, there is a very high end antique poster store on Chambers St. If your poster is worth e investment, maybe call them and as for a reference.

When I had my vintage (1960) movie posters framed the framer arranged an appraisal from a professional conservator. I decided not to go with restoration - the posters weren't worth enough - but a similar service might be offered by your better NYC framers.

Whether the restoration is worth it depends on the poster (I'm going to assume that the Pulp Fiction poster is merely illustrative). The value of movie posters varies wildly, depending on the age and the fame of the movie. Generally anything less than 30 years old is worthless - it's within the era of mass-produced movie posters being sold in Kmart. If it's older than that, check similar posters on eBay to see how much your poster is worth and whether it's a good idea to bother with restoration and reframing.

Wow, I officially feel old now that Pulp Fiction is "vintage."
