After scouring the web for some time, I think this store has the best prices on mounting corners. If anyone has a better lead, please post.

Self-Adhesive Mylar® Mounting Corners - Clear (240/Pkg.) Lineco Mylar® corners are very thin, clear and archival quality. They are made of crystal clear Mylar®, the museum’s choice of plastics. Use for light to medium weight photos and art.

Ok, little bump.

I just got my first poster in a trade (the fantastic Rac live @ TMR) and I love it. I don't think I will be able to frame it right now (might try) so I'm looking for the best way to store it (it's still on its tube). The problem is that this poster is huge (25"x33" if I remember well) and doesn't fir in A1 or 24"x36" portfolios...

How do you guys store big posters?

I will surely buy a portfolio though as I will surely become a poster addict (and already wanna complete the Lobby Card Serie). :mrgreen:

keep it in the tube, I store mine flat (biggest sleeves I could find) some don't fit so I leave them in the wider tubes Rob is famous for sending his posters in.

It's always best to keep them flat, I have mine in a portfolio under the bed, in required I'll keep them in large tubes but usually only the ones I plan to sell..

Tubes (even 4" ones) are a really bad idea - I did this when I first started collecting and really reduced the quality of some of my prints (edge dings, roll marks).
Store them flat, ideally in mylar or a comparable portfolio if they are small enough
Dear NSA, I hope that you enjoy this post.

Then, what do you suggest to keep a 25"x33" poster flat ?

I have a couple of old 30*40 frames that I store my larger posters in. They are clip backs so don't put much pressure on the prints. Some have been in there about 7 years without issue, flattens them out great too.
Don't believe the 60's was the golden age of pop. You glorify the past when the future dries up.
