Great niche collection! I'm curious as to whether you've suffered from any shipping mishaps as lenticulars can be quite awkward to pack.

Luckily I have only had one mishap due to poor packaging. Luckily it was a Spy Kids (thick version). The poster took a hit on a corner and lost a piece the size of a quarter accompanied with a crack about 3 or 4 inches. I always ask how a seller is going to ship for my own piece of mind. I try to get the seller/packer to leave a 3 to 4 inch buffer around the entire perimeter that way if a corner is dinged the poster remains untouched. as for the front and back the I really like using insulation sheets from home depot etc. Cheap and once encased in cardboard makes a pretty safe shield. addition foam pieces around the corners is always appreciated.
In the case of Spy Kids it came from Heritage and the box had zero buffer around the poster. Melissa at Heritage was awesome about the whole situation and I was offered a full refund and kept the poster. I didn't really want to buy another one but I did anyways. I have duplicates of many of my lenticulars as I find it hard to pass up a good deal and I pick up duplicates often.
A friend of mine has not been so lucky. He has had a seller try to roll a lenticular to stick in a tube to save on shipping. I believe the seller tried to roll it to make it fit in a 2 or 2.5 tube. It snapped into two pieces. That is always a gamble, I have had a few sent rolled. Like a Lilo is very very thin and pliable and rolls fairly easily and is just as easily replaceable. Same friend lost a Texas Chainsaw but not much the seller could have done better. (looked like a forklift had punched right through it and straight out the other side. Same friend also destroyed one due to his own incompetence. Sometime the lenticulars have a tacky spray mount around the edges on the back from installation at theatres. He called and asked me what to do. I told him use water and take it slow. Instead his Dad said just use some Wd-40 ?!? say what ?!? Well he didn't do that, I again said just use water. Having little patience he called the seller who gave him even worse advice. They said use rubbing alcohol, holy crap! that is the equivalent to using fire to clean a paper poster. Well he went ahead and tried and the artwork backing reacted and melted. Goo gone is another approach but that even scares me.
