Protect Your Ads!COLLECTIBLESVintage advertising and magazine art needs to be taken care of properly. Using thumbtacks to pin your new treasure to a bulletin board just isn't going to cut it! Remember the words "Acid Free." The acid contained in most papers causes them to yellow and crumble and deteriorate over time. Cheap newsprint goes quickly. High quality papers last alot longer. At the top of the quality ladder are archival papers which promise to last almost forever with a reasonable amount of care. Fortunately, many early magazines were printed on very high quality paper. It is still possible to find an occasional ad over 100 years old that looks like it could have been printed last year. Long term storage of Vintage Paper items should be in archival quality materials that will help them outlast you! The poly bag that we use to protect advertisements during shipment is NOT archival quality. It is used to get the item to you safely. You will be able to find whatever you need in this
connection and educate yourself at the same time. Enter the search
phrase "Archival Supplies" in the Google Search box on this page. If text and pictures from the opposite side of a
Vintage Ad are visible, the effect can be diminished greatly by placing
the ad against a black background - especially useful when framing them
for display! Wrinkles or creases on paper items respond
favorably to ironing. Please the item between two sheets of
clean white paper on a flat surface. Iron briefly with a
medium hot iron. Don't wet it and don't over do it! The problem won't
disappear entirely, but should be lessened considerably. If you are going to ship a Vintage Advertisement to anyone, use a heavy cardboard shipping tube and not a flat envelope! Most ads are too large to fit in to a mailbox without folding, thus creating constant warfare between the Sender and the Postman. The Postman trys very hard to bend the item so it fits the box. The sender adds rigid layers inside the envelope to keep it from bending. Sometimes the sender wins - sometimes the Postman wins. We are not willing to take that chance with our ads and ship inside heavy cardboard shipping tubes. So far, every single ad has arrived safely! The easiest way to find Collectibles and Collectible Memorabilia. Thank you for being here! |
