Best way to secure poster/wall scrolls to drywall?

I'm wondering how you guys handle this. I have tried balling tape on the back, which tends to rip off the paper when I remove it, I've tried taping clear tape directly on the top but also rips off chunks. Keep in mind this is drywall, so I think tacks are out of the question (strong wind blows through my house, I don't want it to catch on a poster, and rip off a chunk of drywall :Q). Currently, I have a wall scroll up, and although it comes with a hanging string on top, I have it masking taped on 4 corners 🙁. Am I SOL or are there some hidden techniques I don't know about?
 
Buy a cheap poster frame. Under $10 at Wal-Mart and it does the job. So long as you don't mind putting a nail or screw in your wall anyway.
 
For wallscrolls, a stud finder and a nail. Thumbtacks are usually strong enough to hold up regular sized ones.

For posters, I buy poster hangers. Variants of those are found everywhere. Slide on the plastic and you're good to go. Its heavy enough to weigh down a poster to keep it straight. The top one has a string so you hang it up in the same way you would a wallscroll.
