so, i have three posters that i never got around to framming. i had them stored flat.
i went to get them the other day to have one of them framed, and they were gone.
called my ex-wife and asked her about them, and she told me that she put them in a tube. so they have been rolled for about 2 years now.

any advice on what i should do? im pissed, but she didnt know so i cant be to mad at her.

i want these bad boys frammed with my others, but dont know what i should do now.

thanks in advance.
Peace, Love.

    start getting them flat right way and then check to see if they are damaged, even if there are slight roll bends or something...... blemishes should frame out if it is done right......

    I know this will cause some folks to cringe at the thought, BUT, if you are simply go to frame them for YOUR PLEASURE, and dont plan on selling them, and dont care about VALUE, then just have them dry mounted to acid free foam core and framed. any bends or rolls or what have you will be taken out of the mix then. I have had all of mine mounted so far...Killed the resale, but they are for ME and ME only to enjoy, so I could give a rip about the value. I will be having my Kenyon Hall mounted soon as with the others. Just my opinion...:)

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    Just put them between some paper with big books on top for a week or so and they should be flattened. I had some rolled for quite a while (don't do that any more however) and they came out without any creases. You could also just take them directly to a framer. They could advise and handle it for you. :)

    Buy a science fair backboard- they cost less than $5 at a Michaels or Target- and put it inside of it- close the flaps around it and put something sort of heavy on top of it. They will be flat in no time and it's cheap
