Black mold in posters/paper can certainly be arrested and destroyed
the reason people have to leave their homes when it is discovered is
that generally they find it everywhere there was water in the walls
leading to infection of drywall and insulation and they have no way
of knowing how far it has spread without taking down all the walls in
their home for renovation, and that they have been scared to death by
fear mongers
I recently found black mold behind the wall in the bathroom in the
warehouse as we'd been doing renovations
so I tore out all the insulation (we had already been taking out the
drywall for replacement), I painted all the wood and we continued to renovate
fortunately because the 5 units next to me had been renovated by a
new tenant who happened to be a friend we are certain that we've
gotten it out except we haven't done ceilings with the exception of
an area in the back of the warehouse, so if there is anything above -
we don't know and we won't until the day comes we feel the need to
replace that drywall
but it can be dealt with

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.

There was a mansion that got black mold and the people ended up
having to leave all their possessions there and just go. 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!
