Calcium carbonate buffered, basically conservation / museum grade mount board. It's generally 2 - 3% CC, which makes the board very slightly alkaline, so it absorbs any acid in it's vicinity and neutralises it. Gills germs dead. Probably.

I used this cc stuff on the paper cuts. Only because that's what the framer sold us though. Not because I had any idea what it was until just now.

CC board is good stuff, very important for framing older prints as it will absorb some of the acid used in poor quality paper. Nowadays though, the majority of prints we buy are on archival paper stock, or cotton rag, both of which are PH neutral, so just plain old acid free board is plenty good enough if you're on a budget.

Edit: just to clarify for anyone new to the hobby, acid makes paper turn yellow. You can sometimes see this on cheaply framed stuff - after about a year or so the core of cheap mountboard turns yellow and eventually brown. If the paper contains acid, the same will happen to the print.

That was a whole 3 minutes between posts! :lol:

Good luck with it, hopefully it'll be a high run. I do some serious eye rolling when I see twonks offer up $300 prints straight off the bat...do they not get that they've just set a minimum price and made it harder for themselves? I can see the flippers brains thinking "well if he's offering a $300 print for it, I wonder what others will offer me" and before you know it, it's at daft money.

Am also hoping it'll be a high run. Have given up on the idea of offering anything up at this stage, people are going to have such high expectations of its value

Wow. Not been on the forum couple for a couple of days and was hit by 4 pages of high tech bad talk. My brain is mush is mush now!

Can't wait for the rugby. 6 nations weekends deff rank up there with any other sporting event / weekend in the world. Watched the England / Ireland game last week in an Irish pub in South London. Luckily turned out alright, and we had a propa session with the locals afterwards. Happy days!!

Did anyone get a PB for Disney then? At over 200 in the queue already I don't think it will matter unless they are in it :)

Luckily I don't really want anything from this show. I think there is some great work there (Rich Kelly :shock: ) but I would only really want it to see it in person but not hang it on my wall.

My better half wants the Aladdin so may be in for that in the aftermarket, if anything.

The Rich Kelly does look class. With so many posters I think there is a good chance the market will be saturated for a while.

the brandon holt JB looks class - maybe it well help keep the Moss price down - plus spirited away and howls arent exactly hot properties so hopefully it will help (though somehow I doubt it).

oh crap - nevermind, I love the print but am not a big fan of any Disney movie so I can live without it (I sure as hell am not paying north of $200 for it, and the flippers will probably wants $400 given that run).

If anyone gets a sniff of a PB (of if you have a hobo in line) I would love that MM Carl.

the francavilla black cauldron looks great - a lot of really, really nice prints in this show.

edit: oof - a JB already sold on ebay (allegedly) for $400 so that is the early market set. :(
