you might think it is good, but if you really look at it, and see the fold lines and the discoloration you will see it is not.
fabrics today also come to this country with no less than 70+ harmful chemicals on them to keep the bugs and mold from getting on them while being transported across the oceans...in the old days fabric did not have ANY chemicals on it....
so in theory the older fabrics on cardboard might fair better than todays fabrics do.
