RE: VAMPS Merchandise - Meet & Greet Session!
To those who've voiced a concern about posters being damaged in a frame:
Try visiting a professional frame shop some time, or even just call one, and ask them questions about how to preserve valuable collectibles and art. Talk to somebody who handles expensive, valuable pieces for galleries or for a museum. Tell them you've got a special autographed piece you're trying to preserve.
They'll explain to you how framing should be protecting the piece, never damaging it. There should never be any stress on a piece, from being in a frame. If you've had posters tear or get damaged by framing and hanging, then it's definitely not being done the right way.
Professionals who frame one-of-a-kind art and collectibles worth big money, do everything possible to make them last forever.
For example, they use a special kind of paper for matting, that's acid-free, so that it doesn't break down the materials in the valuable piece they're framing. And I believe you can get things framed to be moisture-proof, so you don't get moisture damage from the air.
Some places may offer to laminate something or glue it onto a stiff surface, for hanging. But you probably don't want to laminate, or put any adhesive on your collectible, such as tape or glue, because adhesives break down, over the years, and tape and laminants can discolor.
Of course, professional, museum-quality framing is quite expensive. But if you learn about the best possible framing, it will help you know how to protect your own precious pieces, as much as possible.
Actually, I think I've just about talked myself into investing in professional framing, for these autographs. * sigh of resignation *
I like Tracy's observation, that we actually have the Boys' fingerprints - even the DNA - lingering on our modest possessions, now. A bit of their presence, not as important as their presence in our minds...

I'd feel paranoid and be like "HYDE QUIT STARING!!!"  I just put the posters you gave me in my drawer with my MV's. I gave Alyse the duplicate poster of Kaz you gave me.
I used to have many Hyde posters in the past but yeah you get kinda paranoid specially at night xD I love the man but I need my space. I just have one poster up at the moment and one L'arc poster. I may end up hanging the signed vamps poster as well. I can't imagine getting changed surrounded by Hyde. lol
Oh I'd give Hyde all my space *_* although I refuce to tack my beauties and I won't put them up until they have their own frames..
I'm also searching for a frame! I wish I could have a cool place to put my stuff like Tracy does, I love that box 
LOL! "Hyde quit staring" LOL
I only have one poster from L'arc-en-Ciel and one froom Moonchild, I don't like having a lot of posters, I feel observed too >,< In fact... I'm not such a fan of posters, I like better magazines or books, because I lose stuff easily and also I am not very careful, so they crumple soon... AND my house is humid, so id I stock them on special places, they get mossy T________T
I am the Desire...
The need for fresh .blOod VAMPS is strong in me.
