Bolanic Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I was walking through my neighborhood about an hour ago when I saw a framed poster full of dust and spider webs sticking out of the top of someone's trash can. I walked over and pulled it out, and it was a poster from Green Day's show at the Hollywood Palladium in 1994! And, it's signed and numbered by the artist! It has water damage stains on the back of it, but they hardly show on the front. What makes it really special is that I was at both of those shows! It's unbelieveable what people will throw away!
GDM Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Wow, that is amazing. I work with archival material and if you can take it to a frame shop they might be able to clean it in such as way as to take some of the water stains out and prevent any mold forming. If they can't do it, they might be able to point you to a conservator that might be able to clean it. It would cost some money, but if it's signed and numbered, it would be well worth it. And such a memento since you at the concert, too. Congratulations, that's a great find. I bet there's not that many out there anymore, too.
NowhereBound Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 That's cool , at least you'll take better care of it than those people.
