Just a quick one Raylenth, regarding the whole poster situation (if you don't mind) My poster isn't ready to be framed just yet, obviously I've got LFCC in July and a few other bits + bobs later in the year, so with only 6 Rogue One autographs on it, I'm not keen on framing and hanging it just yet. Have you ever been in a similar situation? I'm just a but stumped as to where would be best to store it. It's currently still in my heavy duty poster tube which I use when I'm chasing autographs. I know about the whole 'Polyester vs PVC' with autographs, so was thinking of maybe purchasing an A1 polyester sleeve perhaps? Any advice would be fantastic, or if anyone else can maybe throw a few tips my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Keeping it in a cardboard poster tube will be fine Admiral, I've had some in them for years and they are quite happy in there, so it really comes down to what you prefer for storage really and what space you have, flat or rolled. All my posters are rolled and I've never stored one flat so I don't have a cover that big for them. I'm not sure of polyester v PVC as it's more acid you need to look out for, so if you want to use a plastic sleeve you just need to make sure it's acid free and ideally Archive quality. I'll have a look and post some links in a moment for storage options Regarding framing it, I have 3 items framed that aren't finished yet and I will need to take to Sherlocked later in the year. I decided to have them framed before they were finished as past experience has taught me that it can be years before you've got everyone you want on there (if you can even get everyone ) and I though it was pointless not to enjoy them for that amount of time. I had them professionally framed so when I need them I just take it back to the framers and ask him to take them out for me. There can be a small charge for unframing it though so bare that in mind if you change your mind about framing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) http://www.londongraphics.co.uk/products/Graphic-Supplies/Portfolios-Frames/Portfolio-Cases/Plax-Portfolio-Cases/EXP1BK_Plax-Portfolio-A1-Black Very expensive and not classed as archive safe but you can always wrap the poster in tissue paper and I think it would be fine, it's roomy enough that the sigs wouldn't be touching the top if stored flat http://www.londongraphics.co.uk/products/Graphic-Supplies/Portfolios-Frames/Portfolio-Pages-and-Sleeves/A1/ARDS1_Artcare-Display-Sleeves-A1 cheap but no rigidity to it so it's a risk storing it http://www.londongraphics.co.uk/products/Graphic-Supplies/Portfolios-Frames/Project-Bags/MACW1_Mapac-Clear-Project-Bag-A1 cheap and big enough, fine for carrying for an event but again, I don't know about it's construction so unless the poster was wrapped I wouldn't use for long term storage. I use these for my smaller items http://www.londongraphics.co.uk/searchresults/seawhites+box as they are archive safe and rigid to protect from crushing. I think the problem is that there isn't much out there that is archive safe and flat for larger items as they seem to be mainly for A4/3 sizes. Personally I think for large items like posters it's easiest and cheapest to just keep them in the cardboard tube.

Admiral Ackbar Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Ahh, brilliant Raylenth - thanks for the advice. You know what, I think I will frame it! Like you mentioned, it may be some time before I get it signed by everyone I think will be available to sign it, so why not enjoy what I've got for now - 100% agree with that, I'm sold! The links you've sent I'll keep note for future reference, much appreciated. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 If you want to frame it you can either go for a cheap frame for now and get it properly done later or just go for it, though if you go for a cheap snap frame consider whether there is enough room for a mount - never frame signed items without a mount.
