    So I've made a vast collection of PJ posters within the last couple months but I need help and ideas on how to store them. I can't afford to frame them right now and I'd like to store them flat instead of in the tube. I've thought about buying a big frame and stacking them one behind the other separated with acid free paper. I'm not sure if thats the best way to go. I guess you could say the goal is to keep the posters mint and protected until I frame them. Any help or feedback would be great. Thanks.

    I need something sturdy. Those look like they're just bags.

    When I went to the post office yesterday they had them for $2.50 each but they were both too small to fit the poster I had!

    Expresso Beans, the site for keeping up a poster collection, viewing recent sale prices, and posting trades, has this:

    They recommend storing it on a board with special corners holding it in place, then keeping the board in a mylar sleeve.

    The best advice I could give you is to go to your local Target or wherever and buy one of those Science Fair Display Boards. They're like a couple dollars. Whenever I buy a poster that's already rolled, I'll just stick it in there in between acid-free paper and put some books on top. Not only does it flatten them out, but it keeps them relatively safe. I've got about 15 posters in 1 display board, each separated by paper. Trust me, it works

    what are the quality of these? do they have the "acid-free" component?
