# of Framed vs stored posters

samjam

In a tri-fold from Staples, the posters I have stored are:
MSG 2 2010
Baltimore 13
Milton Keynes 14
Leeds 14

That's it, those are my posters. Framing is so damn expensive.....some day!

Ok, I don't feel so bad now. 10 framed. 90ish in a portfolio.

For me, I have 53 framed and another 25 stored. I have 10 professionally framed and the rest I have developed my skills in framing.

I have five framed. My favorite being the Shawn Kemp Seattle. Three tubed.
What is the best way to store flat?

I'm forwarding this thread to my wife...she is convinced that I am the only individual willing to invest in this endeavor.

http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/portfolios-and-presentation/picturesque-pro-presentation-cases.htm - best presentation case I have found but $$$

http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/portfolios-and-presentation/picturesque-pro-presentation-cases.htm - good for inexpensive protection - usually on sale for around $50 - pages are not as heavy but still provide decent archival grade storage and can be removed as refills for the above case

How long have they been in the tube??
With only 3 posters to store...
You could definitely get away with picking up one of these foam core display board:



The 36" X 48" size display boards are only $15.49 at Staples:

If your posters have been in the tube for a while...
take them out and let them rest naturally for a few days.
You can then gently unroll them and begin flattening them by placing weights on each corner.
When your poster starts to lay flat when the weights are removed,
turn the poster over and put the weights on the corners for another day or so...just to get it completely flat.
You can then store it inside the foam core display board!!
