I was talking about eBay, if course, as was indicated in my post. I wouldn’t ask for a photo of a $100 print from someone who posts here “regularly”. Also, I wasn’t talking about $100 prints necessarily. There are all kinds on eBay.

A conservator could flatten them. The cost isn't worth it unless you intend on framing
Micheals has a vacuum table , don't know if its something they offer but Ive got them to do it for me twice . Worked great and made a slight crease disappear
Ok, I'm really curious about this... You just asked them to flatten your print in their framing department?

i use a 6" diameter piece of ABS plastic tube. and reverse roll the poster, leave it in the tube for a least a week. i do put some weight on it to conform it to the tube.

This post really surprised me. I am new to collecting, and have some pieces now still in tubes. I had no idea there was a while process for flattening, nor did I know it was so vital. I really need to do further reading on this...
