No I am not talking about some of the vintage posters around here
We're packing up for a house move in the near future and once again I have stumbled onto a whole load of memorabilia that I had pretty much forgotten about. And I have finally decided that I am going to do something about my posters.
Back in the 90's (in addition to a few of my own) I bought one of the largest collections around of vintage Van Halen posters from someone close to the band ...........I am guessing something like 30-40 full size wall posters , as new, from the Roth era (1978-1984) Aside from a few that I block mounted (goodbye value) the rest have remained in tubes .
I have done some Googling but happy to hear some opinions if anyone has any experience. I figure it is a huge waste having them all in tubes , so looking for a way to flatten them out and store them in acid free clear envelopes or something so they can be stored flat and easily accessed for a look when I want to display them without going to the expense of 40 frames with UV resistant plexi.
The name Mylar (polyester sleeves) seems to be popping up a lot in my research.
