I just recently started collecting bemani and other random posters to decorate my new house, and I wanted to ask you guys something since I know bemani fans are some of the most anal people on the internet when it comes to collecting and maintaining value on things:
Is it a good idea to laminate your posters?
What I like about lamination is that you can do anything to those posters and nothing will happen. No more worrying about rips, no more worrying about taping the poster to the wall, etc. But at the same time, I'm a little worried that now that the poster is laminated, that the value has dropped since you can't undo it anymore.
What do you people thing? I have a distorted poster here and a couple more posters in the mail coming in, and I'm undecided on whether I should laminate them as well.

Not really answering the question though
How much are frames anyway?

Cheepo frames will run you between 10-20 bucks depending on size. This works fine with the CS posters that come with IIDX and around the same size.
Larger posters, like the Secret Live 2 poster I have, required a custom frame, which ran me $200. | |

Yes, lamination does ruin the value of a poster. Like what everyone else is saying, framing is your best bet if you want to keep it secure, plus it looks better. For the AC sized Bemani posters, kimcicle is right, they're up there in the hundred dollar range. | |

Agreed with everyone here. I bought cheapo frames from Michaels to put my CS posters in, and they only ran me about $11 per frame.
AC posters HAVE to be custom framed unless you're REALLY FUCKING LUCKY and just happen to have a Hobby Lobby nearby that carries the large scaled frames.
Custom frames will be expensive no matter what. They'll definitely run at least $100 if not more.

If you live near a framing company, you can save a ton on shipping by just picking them up in person.
my IIDX AC frames are going to run me about $65-70 each from American Frame. If I was going to have them shipped to me, I'd be paying almost three times that, due to 'oversize' shipping fees. | |

I'm not big on posters, but if it was something of value, I'd definitely frame it. Something like a band poster can be purchased whenever and I probably wouldn't even go through the effort of laminating it and would probably just tack it up, but laminating doesn't sound like a bad idea. | |

I'm assuming the Bemani posters are bigger though. | |

Actually paper sizes nearly everywhere outside the US are different from here. Remember the rest of the world doesn't use inches.  | |
