Hi, Andrea, from Joe B. After Katrina I discovered that a few posters had gotten damp at the bottom. There was mold on several that were framed (including, sob!, a half-sheet for "A Christmas Story") but, curiously, none developed on some linen-backed ones that I had rolled in the storage unit. However, upon advice from those "in the know" after Katrina, I destroyed the posters with mold-- as a safety measure. You are right to be wary. That mold is a destroyer. Joe B in NOLA

Long story about the insurance company and they collected BUT here's my question: If any of us got black mold, what would be the fate of our posters? Have any of you ever had experience with household mold and what were the results? Can black mold be removed? (These people had to bag items of evidence so it didn't spread). Would whole pieces have to be removed/replaced or would the whole poster be doa? Fortunately, the pictures didn't show any posters, so it didn't effect my sleep that night. These people had beautiful antique furniture, etc. and apparently, the mold took over the house and its contents. Now THAT'S scary!
