| Craig is right about 30x40s and 40x60s. Most I have seen are rolled. That doesn't mean they are rolled and mint. A lot of these got moved around a lot and they get their own legend of being shuffled from pillar to post. When I got the bulk of my posters in 1979, I had some 40x60s folded in the three sheet stacks. The half sheets and inserts were not folded at the printers; but many were folded by the people at National Screen to save space. These folds are defects of a type, but I don't class them defects in the class of tears, holes etc. I have had many inserts and half sheets paper backed and these folds diminish significantly. But they don't disappear usually.

IT SEEMS TO ME THE HEAVY GAUGE PAPER MILITATES AGAINST THE FACT THAT THEY WERE FOLDED AT THE PRINTERS. SO DOES THE FACT THAT SO FEW OF THE SAME GAUGE 30X40 AND 40X60 POSTERS ARE FOLDED. (I HAVE AROUND 20 OF THE 30X40 AND 40X60 POSTERS AND NONE ARE FOLDED.) HOW DID THEY GET SENT AROUND THEATRES UNFOLDED AND SMALLER POSTERS DID NOT, WHEN THE LATTER COULD HAVE FIT ROLLED IN THE SAME CONTAINERS AS THE BIG ONES? BUT THEY MUST HAVE BEEN FOLDED BY SOMEONE, SO MANY ARE IN THAT CONDITION. I WONDER WHETHER MOST INSERTS AND HSs HAVE NOT JUST BEEN FOLDED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THEM STORED WITH LESS CARE FOR THE RESULTS OF DOING SO OR BY COLLECTORS LOOKING TO SAVE STORAGE SPACE. CERTAINLY THESE FOLDS ARE DEFECTS - "STANDARD" OR NOT. CRAIG, VANCOUVER ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:14 PM Subject: [MOPO] the extra folds
i have about 4 inserts that each have two extra horizontal folds. isn't it ironic that i find it more offensive on my 10/15.00 Compulsion poster, than on my $1800 Rebecca? .....................and, extra folds on inserts seems to me to be the biggest undisclosed defect on that size poster.
