applying wallpaper mural to sheet of plywood
 

I am purchasing a large wallpaper mural, and instead of applying it
directly to the wall, I would like to put it on a sheet of plywood
(for the purpose of easy removal and re-selling the mural someday).

I have no experience hanging wallpaper. Does anyone see a problem
with applying a wallpaper mural to plywood (or MDF), if the surface is
properly prepared and primed?

Also, does wallpaper have any flex to it once applied--I'm wondering
if it would split if removed from the wall as the sheet of plywood is
flexed?

Thanks!

Even if you find or make the plywood as smooth as wallboard, the plywood
will warp in a short time and your mural will look bad, and who will want to
buy a mural on plywood anyway?
