Is this an appropriate poster backing solution?
Hey, I'm new to this forum and was wondering if this acid-free paper would be sufficient to be used as backing for some relatively low value ($50-$200) original one sheet movie posters. I was planning on putting the paper over either foam core or cardboard, is this a good idea and what sort of adhesive would be suitable to sit the paper on the backboard. One last thing, is this type of tape suitable for attaching one sheets to the paper I plan to buy if I use it in a double sided manner underneath the poster. If you have any better solutions to framing one sheets that doesn't involve buying mat boards (they're way too expensive) I'd love to hear them.
I am just getting into collecting original movie posters alongside DIY framing. Looking forward to any help and interacting in this forum!

Acid free paper is fine - most framing quality foam coare on its own comes acid free, so fine to put poster onto that.
There are many great framing options that don't require you to use either foam board or tape to hold up a poster (minus large 3-sheet/6-sheet posters). For a beginner collector go buy some spotlight displays - I have 1-15 of these frames.

If you can, avoid tape or adhesive at all cost unless it is a throw away poster. If you did have to use tape the link is a good option - I used this on the very edges of one of my three sheets to keep it aligned.1
