I am an art collector and personally if someone dry-mounted one of my prints I would sue them for the value and the mental duress they caused me.
I had a crappy mall framer do that to me in the early nineties and that print would be worth 2k more had that not happened. 
Use archival removable linen tape from a framer that handles expensive pieces. The glue will not yellow is acid free and removable.
Poster collectors will often be fine with linen backing, but it is still restoration and anything pristine and untouched will always be worth more than pristine and touched. Resto work is great when needed to make it presentable. In art and posters dry-matting completely destroys the value of the piece. To remove the piece for sale it will cost roughly 400 dollars to have a restorer remove the item but often the damage is still noticeable.
