Alternatives to hanging posters using nails?

Is there any other way (I'm sure there is) to hang posters without putting nails in the wall? I use nails, but half the time the poster is crooked and the holes in the wall are way too noticeable when you take the poster down. If it helps, my poster frames are the ones you can buy at Michaels for $25-ish on sale.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I'd also recommend the poster strips - if you plan to keep it in the frame, look into the 'heavy duty' ones. I used to use tape (non-frames posters) and nails (framed), but usually ended up having to move them for one reason or another. I started using the poster strips recently and havent had any issues with them.

Anyone have any thought on how to keep poster frames from vibrating? Mine are hanging by screws/anchors. Not sure if the poster strips would help to limit the vibration.

^ They probably would help (same for mounting tape) - these will "stick" it to the wall (to keep it flat and also provide a little "padding" between the frame and the wall, so it shouldn't be bouncing around.
