Does lamination devalue a poster?

For a poster, it would be more acceptable than a photo, did you know they sell this gummy stuff like you see on magazines that holds the lable to the magazine? That or this stuff that's like the consistency of silly putty that doesn't ruin the poster or the walls. You might try that. Problem with laminating is it yellows and eventually spilts and it can bubble. If the poster is not particularly valuble. Go ahead and do it and enjoy! If you are concerned about value, try not to alter and maybe try the gummu solution.

I'd like to put them on my wall where I can see and enjoy them but I don't want to pin them and I can't frame them ( besides the expense I have a Cape Cod--sloping walls...). so you see my dilemma...

That way if you plan to sell it or pass it on to someone then that person can decide if they want to keep it in the page protector or remove it. Stephen "Todd F." wrote in message thlink.net... I feel that it would devalue it for anyone else who would want to buy it due the people want the original. Since it sounds like you will never sale it do with it what makes you happy. The thing is have you thought about what you would do with it after you pass on? Does the person you plan on giving it to have the same feeling for it as you do, or would they want to sale it? If you don't care about what happens to it after you've passed do whatever you want to with it. I remember reading a story many years ago how a person laminated their entire baseball card collection. You name it, the big names were there. When they passed on and left it to their friends and family they just wanted to sale them... and couldn't get much for them hehe..

I have several autographed theatre posters (which I know are legit) that I would like to have laminated for protection, but I was wondering if th is would devalue them greatly--the autograph is not from a big star but he is deceased. I have no intention of ever selling them--it's an "over my cold dead body" kind of thing but... I hesitate. I've laminated other commonly, or even not so commonly, available posters and put them on my wall without a second thought, but they weren't signed. I also recently purchased a vintage (approx 1970) photo poster (unsigned) of Steve McQueen--apparently rare as it's an image I haven't seen anywhere else, in books or online, in the last six months I've been hunting for McQueen stuff--it has pinholes on the white border--I'd like to trim and laminate, but should I? I'll never sell it. What to do what to do.... Your advice would be appreciated. thanks Donna I am a paper collector with so much paper the fire dept hassles me about the fire load in the building because of my collections.I will laminate any item item that isnt worth tons of money (that i want to keep alive) because it preserves it.Old paper goes to hell in handbasket up north and you have to do something.All the purists halfwits are fools and probably have never put any money into their collections anyway.if you love an item you want to show it to other historians etc and if it is in shreds it aint no good to anyone. |
