I am thinking about buying a pin and having it picked up for me. I have a concern, however, with the BG. It is starting to flake/bubble up and separate from the glass in places. Currently all the paint is still there, just separating from the glass. The owner was going to use clear tape to solve the problem - I would like to use triple thick. Since he has not used triple thick and plastic wrap he is reluctant to do so. He suggested laying a piece of clear translite over the back of the bg, then cardboard, and then bubble wrap. This gives me pause as I am afraid the separated paint might completely come off by the time I receive the pin. Any suggestions from folks?

Thanks
