The prints are sold out, but I am hoping they will be able to replace them. I would say frame them and cover the creased edges with matting, you can get some cool matting now that looks like woven grass (if not going for acid free mat and uv glass but that costs more) I think it would affect the value, and what if you slipped when trimming it!! I used to work in the warehouse of a framing store, and we saw a LOT of art come in that was ruined because people didn't know about the affects of sun and air on their art. I'd spend the extra moola and do it right, it's worth it to protect your investment. and your great great grandkids will thank you :)
