During the paper shortage of 1973, a number of magazines were printed on a plastic paper alternative. This material did not dent or crumple. It couldn't be torn, as it would stretch rather than rip...and it was only a tiny bit more expensive than paper itself. Perhaps if future Topps posters were printed on the plastic alternative to paper, the problem of their getting bent or crumpled in the mail would be a thing of the past. The mylar that the Old School wrappers are printed on isn't what I am talking about, though. These can not be stretched, and will dent or crumple. I am talking about a slightly thicker material. I don't know if it is still made...but it was hot during the paper shortage of '73.
