I bought these posters in 1997 in which they came in a box of 250 posters with 50 of each poster. They have always been stored flat and never been rolled; therefore, they are in MINT condition. 100% Positive Feedback. When I ship these posters I roll them to 2 inches and place them in a 3in tube. When you take them out of the tube they will unroll back to being flat. Note the magnets that I hung it from shows how flat the are. You would never be able to do this with the ones that are in sleeves.
