us old forum buggers will remember Donnie, who was kicked off (?) Mopo and created Style B yahoo group (which NSF was named after) had professional involvement somehow with laminating. I forget how now.
Anyway he said there is a type of laminating that can be reversed, it might be difficult and expensive. I cant recall the names he used for the different types of laminating.
Ive said before, i have a handful of laminated posters, and yes it sucks, but at the same time, they are some of my favourite posters as wherever i move I can easily put up on my wall and enjoy. I wouldn't pay a great deal for a laminated poster, and id always of course rather not. But for some things its kinda good.
And I have a title lobby card forGHOST SHIP (from the Borst collection stamped under lamination) that Drak gave me thats just great on my shelf)
I've got some cheap posters that have god art id consider getting done (with a spare in storage) just for putting on my wall.
you lose the tactile pleasure of paper, but you gain the enjoyment of seeing it displayed (for people like me who cant afford framing)
im sure there is cases where it might be the only affordable way (or ONLY way) to get a particular item, if rare and desirable. AND collectors of genuinely RARE stuff cannot afford to be as fussy as people who collect relatively common stuff like BAT or CFTBL (let alone the latest batman).
