    i almost threw this away but had a hunch it was special. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Value? Age? Rarity? Thanks!

    I’m not a map expert but yours seems to be a much later copy of this one. Your picture is too small and fuzzy and I can’t see the line of text printed at the middle bottom.

    Looks like a 1980s office decor item.

    If you see modern printing on the bottom, then it isn't an antique map, and it has decorative value only (no age or rarity). (This has "Double Hemisphere World Map by ... ... Circa ..." printed on the bottom).
