Re-Strikes	Printed by the NSS (or by the studio) following a films original release. Common sizes for re-strikes are inserts and one sheets. Produced for poster dealers. May differ slightly or be identical to the first NSS printing.
Restoration	Returning a poster as close as possible to its original appearance. Specially trained artisans remove or disguise stains, fix holes and tears, replace missing paper, clean, enhance color, touch up fold lines, and in some cases, recreate the image.
Rolled vs. Folded	Prior to the mid-1980s, most U.S. and foreign paper movie posters (such as one sheets)were shipped to theaters folded (approx. folded size = 10 1/4x13 1/2). Only occasionally were they issued rolled, making rolled ones from before the mid-80s highly desirable. Cardboard stock posters (such as inserts) were issued either rolled or folded. Today, all U.S. posters are rolled, while foreign posters still tend to be folded.
