I think the seller of the SUSPECT half sheet did a good job providing
a very sharp image (and amazingly, he did not have to cut off part of
the image due to his small scanner, etc). I'll even accept his "fair

I hope JR
didn’t actually recommend PLASTIC sleeves. I’m sure he knows
that plastic is not inert nor archivally safe and the oils in it will actually help
to contribute to a poster’s demise in the long run.
Certainly he recommended Mylar-type

Someone mentioned a while ago that it is best to store posters flat
and not in the plastic sleeves. You recommend them. Have you had any
stored a long time either way? I store my posters flat in architect's plan
