Need an honest opinion on collectability...
Long story short....
Took one my posters from my boss owners kit, the side shot one of the black LS, up to office max to have them laminate it for me. Well the machine choked on it and know it is laminated and wrinkled, ruined in my opinion.
I understand accidents happen but I was so ticked off, I kept my cool though.
Anyways, does anyone know if that poster can be bought anywhere? They have agreed to replace it and laminate them correctly for free.
Also, how far should I push this if I can't get it replaced? I think most of the community would feel as bad or worse than I do about the poster being ruined considering the collectibility of the whole thing and the pride we take in our cars.
Would love fellow mustang fans perspective.

Sorry to hear about the poster. But from a collectability standpoint I think laminating it wasn't the best course of action. Leaving it in the box would have been best followed by maybe framing it behind glass or something.

I agree. I have mine together in a 24x36 frame hanging in my garage. While I doubt the posters or cars will appreciate anytime soon there's no point in not using them.
