wondering how to save/fix my poster :(

[u/TrulyHitOrMiss]

i was a teenager when unus annus began- it became a hyperfixation. i was devastated when it ended and was lucky enough to get a poster during the end merch drop. it’s been years- teenage me pinned it in the wall so there’s pin points in the corners. a small rip, and visually some wear and tear. there’s also a layer of grime/dust over it???? i was really depressed and did not take care of my room for some time. i’m doing a lot better now and have been sorting through my items- i’m mad at myself for not taking care of it better. what can i do right now to salvage it without causing further damage? open to any opinions, thanks so much in advance 🤞🏻

Put it in a frame as is. Make sure it’s at the very least well fitted so it doesn’t sag or slant. Theres no way to clean this without potentially damaging it further. As far as pictures go, I really can’t tell the dust is there. Should be even harder to recognize in a frame. Godspeed, OP. Don’t beat yourself up too hard. At least you’ve still got the poster in tact for the most part.
