"Flat Folded"

[erik1925]

I just noticed this description term on a couple of the HA auctions ending tonight, like this one:

https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/fantasy/viking-women-and-the-sea-serpent-american-international-1957-flat-folded-one-sheet-27-x-41-fantasy/a/161734-53466.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

What's the difference between 'flat folded' and 'machine folded?' (as issued from the printer)

I think that's an aka for tri-folded (no vertical fold).

What's the difference between 'flat folded' and 'machine folded?' (as issued from the printer)

it's the difference between people emailing in "what do you mean machine folded" and explaining the poster is flat & folded

everyone who buys, is not a collector
