Hum, very nice item (might cost a hell of money to ship) but my wife told me she would prefer me to store them flat because tube are too big and not easy to store... this is a pretty big piece of furniture.

Hi! (sorry in advance for longish post)

This place is expensive, but they've got boxes, folders, LP sleeves, tubes, comic-book storage, etc. -- it's what a lot of museums and conservation people use. Works for me until I get the right (cheap) real storage. And they have good sales sometimes.

Oversize acid-free boxes:

Poster sleeves/boards:

(Yeah, it's true. I also used to work in a museum. Also as a parking-lot attendant, but no topics here seem to need that experience.)

With the Lazaretto tour coming up and my wall space maxed out, it's time for me to invest in a portfolio and I'd like the binder-style that can be flipped through. Dug through this thread and saw recommendations for the A1 portfolio, is that still what folks here would recommend?--

Any other suggestions?

I use one like that (Portrait...not landscape) and its got all the sleeves you just slide your posters into and then flip through like a book. I know a few others use this style as well. I love it.

I use this and it's great for price. It's nice because you an flip through it and look at them. Anything bigger I make an acid-free foamcore sandwich

Certainly a better price than the other one so I took the plunge. Thanks, guys.

I have a few larger ones that are an inch or two too large for the 18x24 portfolio, so I was thinking about getting something like this. I think most have plastic dividers inside to separate pieces.

I've been looking for a cheap, large flat file for years, and I finally lucked out last weekend. Found a business selling 10 of them in Nashville and I responded quickly enough to get a 54" x 42" 5 drawer metal flat file in great condition for $60. Could not be happier with it. Unfortunately, it is too big for our current house and will have to wait until we move, but I can't wait to get my posters out of tubes and into it.

Received this today. Works great! Unfortunately, though, the one poster that's a half inch too long for it is the one for Jack in the Blue Room at RSD. Bah.

Yup, I noticed that too. I hate when the artist makes a 24x36 print and then adds a 1 inch white border or something around the edge so it doesnt fit in a standard frame or portfolio...haha

Anyone have links to a 24x36 display portfolio??

I've got a decent amount of these larger Rob Jones prints I want to move to a binder/portfolio.

Can't seem to find any like my 18x24 portfolio that have archive sleeves inside...

This is the only one I could find...They have a store in Nashville that I ordered one to a few years ago and picked it up when I went down for RSD. It says they hold prints up to 22x34 but it actually holds 24x36. I can confirm that...I was a bit worried so I brought in a print and put it in and even measured the sleeves before buying it. I forget what I paid for it a few years ago but I love it for all my larger prints. It even flips through like a book, just like the itoya 18x24 portfolios...
