Well, the most important thing in a frame is what's in the front and what's in back of the poster. All of the frames you have gotten from me have been 91% UV filtered genuine plexiglass, not plastic sheeting that is in a lot of ready made frames. So, that is what has protected your posters. For my frames, even if you use the acid free museum conservation backing, it is only a $15 difference, so most collectors with items over say $500 in value and continuing to appreciate in value, use the acid free backing. I routinely take my own framed posters apart to test the products and compare them to color charts I have so that I can accurately write the articles that I write for the movie poster hobby and other paper collectable hobbies. In all my years of using this product, I have never come across a poster that has faded and have never had a customer tell me their poster faded using this product, so I'm convinced it's a good product and it has stood the test of time...as for backing, the most important thing is to not use cardboard. As a matter of fact, it isn't advisable to store your posters in cardboard tubes and that cardboard is loaded with acid......just a thought........
Your posters look fabulous. Sue Hollywood Poster Frames **************************************************************************************************** Thx, in 11 years of collecting I’ve never seen any poster degrade the tinsiest bit from light exposure or internal acidification. In general most collectors ridiculously spend lotsa money and rarely frame anything. So I try to promote basic affordable framing rather than worry excessively about extremely slow acidification or minor light damage from indirect sunlight shown in picture above.

Remember, you don't get the acid free museum conservation backing in your frames, so the poster is left to it's own devices to continue degrading. Now, it will take time but since the posters themselves have acid in them, that acid is what causes them to yellow and become brittle over time...I'm sure you probably cleaned the plexigilass and channel of the frame before you put it back together, but I'm sure the foamcore probably absorbed some of that liquid and, again, that I might suggest changing out. Next time you place an order, remind me and I will put a new piece of foamcore in the box with your frames...
