Can you fix a rolled up poster that has been crushed?

I have an old rolled up artwork that has been crushed, and I really do not want to throw it away. Is there anyrhing I can do to flatten the creases?

Can you post a pic??

If it has those folds which kind of broke into the paper, you may be SOL, especially if it's that thicker print paper. I've certainly lost a poster or two over the years for the same reason. You may be better off just replacing it. Just about everything eventually pops up on the bay, unless it's a local or regional thing in your area.

You can have it dry/wet mounted. That will flatten the creases but also ruin the value. Or take it to a poster/paper restoration company. They have methods to get the paper back in original condition. Even creases into the paper can be filled if the artwork is worth that much to you. Restoration is expensive however. Let's see what you have.

Yeah, let's see it.

I don't have a digital camera. The poster is a real photograph of Earth taken from space, with a photoshopped Kirby Thor flying away from the planet. I love this poster and was waiting to get it framed. It is quite large.
