I know this isn't really the place for questions but since all the poster collectors are here i figured this would be the best place to ask.
I am getting a flat file today and was wondering how to get the posters to store flat -- just put some books on them for a while?
also what type of paper should i use in between the posters?
and any other advice is appreciated --

thanks
- Robb

    When I get my posters flat I use Mylar sheets instead of that light craft paper. But I would imagine anything acid free would be alright. As far as the books I use......I put a Penthouse in each corner and then fill in all of the blank spots......usually takes about 9 of them.....then I slide my portfolio under the bed and leave it until I am ready to frame one of the posters.
    I am not saying this is the right way.....I am just saying it is my way. I am sure there will be alot of different techniques to follow.
    Hope this helps.

    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

    The mental image of a used Penthouse is not a good mental image. I use Hustler ... :oops:

    Just put something heavy on the corners. I use poster weights on mine to keep them down for a while and have a set that I put on top of prints in my flatfile as well.
    Here's a link to the ones that I use.
