There are experts who can remove the water stains (if they are embedded too badly in the paper and it does not appear from the photo that they are).

I have removed water strains from train boxes. But, if the water has caused to paper to separate or crinkle, you may not be able to do it. The trick is to remove the strain without fading the white paper out too much so it doesn't match the non-repaired portion.

A curator I know, however, says that if the water strains are on the border, maybe a stylish rematting should be the "repair." Someone would have to be creative since the new matting would have to cover the entire top border.

Luckily the stain is just surface, paper is barely wavy in a couple places. I’m not going to worry about it. Gonna sell it as-is.
