Now, if you're looking to frame it and display it, they may not be visible from the front, so it may not be the end of the world. If you're looking to sell it and get max value, it will be an issue there.

First things first, get it out of the tube and flatten it out for a good long while. I would get two large pieces of styrofoam and clamp it between them (with kraft paper between it and the styrofoam). Just make sure whatever you flatten it with is uniform so that it flattens evenly.
Thank you! What if I never plan on hanging it? In your opinion, would flattening to prove no defects increase the value? Would then rolling it again to ship cause more harm?

FWIW it's in a 3 inch tube, so not super tightly rolled.
