Here is my only S81, an Ed Walsh that I traded for about 30 years ago.
I store it in a safe deposit box but am always scared I am not storing it in a way that will preserve it.
At first, I had it in some regular plastic sheets but was afraid they might some how get too hot and melt on the silk or that they might leach some chemicals that would harm or destroy the silk.
I next just put it between two pieces of construction paper but then removed it because I was afraid the acid in the paper might damage or destroy the silk.
Now, I just have it laying flat on top of another large silk which is on top of some cards in card holders. Is that good enough?
Next, is there any idea of how many silks are still in existence? I know there are more Matty silks than all the others but how many of the rest are there? Less than 10 each?
Thank you,
David
