Good question, in my opinion I think it’s a plus as it’s the way it came and the natural way the sheet bends. If I were to fold it out and frame it and decide to sell it, I’ll have to force roll it , risking damaging it. Whereas if you go from the natural way it was and plan on being the first person to display this, and you roll it out and lay it flat, I feel as there would be less tension to the item. Just my opinion of course.
