Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

It's most likely a hint.

You can get the Stein deSign Picturesque Presentation Case 24x36 that's acid free.

I got one recently for my Mondo 24x36 prints but I also have smaller prints in the 24x36 pages like 13x19 and 18x24 as well and it holds them where I leave them and don't move around. You can get them at aswexpress and they are having a 20% off sale + free shipping for items over 169 currently (coupon code DCS10620 and expires 11:59PM EST on Sat 10/8/11).

The portfolio after 20% off will be like 137, so i would recommend getting the 5 page refill packs as well. I have 15 pages and they are all filled already. You should really flatten your prints out first between 30x40 acid free foam boards before you place them in, otherwise it's very difficult to get 24x36 size prints in. So far it's the cheapest solution I've found to storing these prints flat without buying a flat file. If you have larger size prints such as Arron Horkey’s Jurassic Park print 21x39 from the last mmm you can buy 30x40 archival print protectors at jerrysartarama.com a dozen for 120, or by them individually for 16 dollars each at dickblick.com.

I would check out craigslist for flat files. Some people were able to find them really cheap and restore them. Restored flat files look fantastic for a fraction of the price.

Thanks for the info OpticBlast. I'm going to order that presentation case. I'm tired of storing all my posters in tubes.

Keeping them in tubes for a while isn't good, I have a lot of them in tubes and I get scared that they will start to get messed up >_>
