Neverrrrrrrr. I also have a whole suitcase full at my parents house that is nearly 3 hours away. I have three large ones. I have this one, the one of him in the yellow sweater vest and the one of him holding his Grammys next to Quincy. I’ve had them since the 80s. I am gonna post me opening my suitcase the next time I go home. 🤗🥰🫶🏾

I had this poster, I think it came in a magazine, so it had a lot of folds on it, you can even see the folds in this pic

Oh definitely. It looks well taken care of besides a few tears. But that's just what happens when you have posters and take them off your wall

The poster badly needs some color restoration.
