If something old is framed and matted, assume the worst and you won't be disappointed.

I'm no expert in poster display, but my brother-in-law collects vintage movie posters. When a poster of his is hung on the wall, he has it framed behind full a sheet of glass so the entire poster can seen. He's a poster and movie fan and wants to see the entire poster. Also, the posters were originally displayed in similar full fashion by at the theaters (still are today). If I were to see one with the edges matted out, I would assume it had significant condition issues.
