Are posters worth more if they’ve never been opened?
I have a particularly rare stone of a pilots poster from 1995, this poster has never been opened. Just curious if I should leave it or if it wouldn’t affect the value, if I opened it.

I have rarely seen this poster, unraveled it has sold online for an increasingly larger amount each time, the latest online sale I witnessed was last year when this poster sold for about $185, it was In a cheap frame, but I’m curious if mine might be fetch a bit more considering it has never been opened. I do have it in a protective sleeve as well.

You posted in the right place. Yes, posters are generally worth more when sealed with the tag.

I don’t gather that keeping posters unrolled/sealed is really a thing collectors opt for as opposed to say keeping a collectible toy in the packaging, or even vinyl in the shrink wrap. Also keep in mind that many (most?) posters aren’t really packaged that way, at least not anymore. I’ve purchased my share of posters in the past, and I don’t recall any of them arriving that way. I’d think that anyone purchasing might want to see what the actual poster looks like unrolled - 30 years is an awfully long time to have it stored like this.
if there are any poster collectors out there with different takes, I’m also curious.
