    I’d set a price or name a trade you want because you’re bordering on an auction right now with people making offers.  That will get your thread shut down pretty quick.  Good luck.

    Good point, actually I already got what I really wanted which was info on the timing and whether I have a couple of weeks to travel home and WORK before really figuring out what to do with these.  I just wanted to make sure there wasn't total radio silence on interest a week after the show is over.  I figured there wasn't, but wanted to make sure.

    So thanks everyone, no more offers or trades need to be offered on this thread, I'll post what's left once the dust settles from mailing everything to those I got it for, and when I do post what's left I'll also post what I'd trade it for or what I'm most looking for.

    Thanks everyone!

    Hi everyone, I have a storage question: What paper do you guys put between posters when storing flat (I don't have any fancy giant portfolio type thing yet).  And what paper do you mail them in?  

    I've heard some of you mention "wax paper"; I've also heard of people storing printed art in "acid-free paper".  Are those the same, or what's the best paper to store and ship posters in?

    Thanks!  And no, haven't moved at all on any of the posters in my original post, trying to catch up with real life first but I'll be back with what's left once the dust settles :)   Thanks everyone!

    Cheapest way to do it correctly.  Get two large pieces of acid free poster board.  Lay the poster flat between them.  Then put a bunch of small binder clips around the edges.  and you got yourself some good storage.   Make sure and I stress "ACID FREE"  make sure it says that !!

    Store em' flat, save em' for 10 years, then help fund a semester of college for your kid(s) or take that dream vacation you've been putting off.

    and this method works. I have used this method in the past successfully. Also, be mindful where you store them. Musty basement? Not a good plan. Also, be mindful of smells, like cigarettes - that shit will ruin your posters.

    Thanks everyone, back from art store with several giant acid-free foam-core boards and acid-free paper to layer between a few. Had the binder clips so I think I'm all set!  You guys are the best!

    On the storing for 10 yrs and funding my 9 yr old's college years (so 9 yrs of storage), can you guys promise they'll appreciate enough to fund 4 yrs of college?  Because if so, next time PJ announces a tour, that 529 plan and all the college money in it is BREAKING FREE and going to shows and MORE POSTERS!!!  Erm, you guys will help me out if that turns out not to pay for all her tuition in 9 yrs though, right?  Guys?
