Price check: charmingbaker AP - One day our past..., by maxf on Aug 29, 2013 9:53:29 GMT 1, I have an AP of 'One day our past will be all there is to look forward to' (the bird print on a yellowy/gold wallpaper background). I've seen a standard one sell for ยฃ900 on fleabay framed so am wondering what mine would go for as an AP, but here's the rub... its damaged.
The print came to me rolled, and was undamaged. Stupidly I rolled it back up to store it, pulled it out again and it had a crease maybe 2 inches long in the middle of the print. It barely shows straight on, but at an angle (as the print is laquered) it shows in the light.
So, lesson learned - never roll prints - but am I looking at hanging it in the bathroom in a clip frame as its worthless, or would I be able to sell it and put some money towards something which wasnt looking down at me and telling me I'm a retard every day.
So, it is an affordable Charming Baker AP for someone or just an athena poster now?

I'm minded just to get shot really, take the hit and move on - Ive emailed a couple of restorers who said they only deal with older items.
So, is a damaged (but not a complete basket case) print worth 50% of an undamaged one? More, less? Guess I need to dig out a pic or 2!

you've (must have..) spoken to the wrong people , dude.
look up the conservation folks.. on the net and find a local prof.
( www.conservationregister.com/ - have a scan around this place... it's changed recently..)
if you get no joy - get back to us...
shouldn't cost an arm to resolve.

I'd fix it up, sell and buy a bird iii, which in my option is much nicer.
