    Just picked this up today ..from my mystery poster swap.  Almost a year... wish I could go back in time.

    Does anyone know a source for 12 x 36 frames? I'm not really a poster "collector" - I typically only buy posters of shows I've been to, but have a few others I purchased because 1) I really dug the artist/artwork, or 2) it was something from a "special occasion" type of show (i.e. Temple of The Dog). l haven't really done any custom framing or spent a lot of money in the past - usually just an inexpensive plexiglass frame from Michael's or similar - but I've recently got the Klausen Temple of the Dog posters and a couple of Rhys Cooper prints in this size and might look at something a little nicer. I've seen 11.75 x 36 as a common size, but these don't fit that frame size. I guess that's a size more commonly associated with movie posters. I'm just looking for something simple, low-profile, with maybe some color options - doesn't need to preserve the thing for the next hundred years - just something that will look fairly decent on the wall! Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated - Thanks!

    The 12x36 thing sucks.  I hate it.  Maybe check Amazon.  Everything at AC Moore, Michaels, Hobby are all that 11.75 so useless.

    Christmas Tree Shops carry 12x36... work great! Or find two that you like together and there are plenty of 24x36 frames to choose from.

    Plexi unfortunately. But it gets the job done for some cheaper ones and holds them for those that will be framed better later on.

    Looks good! Just checked the Christmas Tree Shop website - no locations near me (Las Vegas) and they don't have that one available for purchase on their website. :(

    Aaron Brothers - forgot about that place! Looks like one of those is near my work and the other near home! Will check them out this weekend. How much did that one run you? Was it a stock item or made to order? Looks good - Thanks!

    It was stock. I want to say it was $30 - $40. It might have been $0.01 during their frame sale when I bought a bunch. Got a lot of 18x24's from there, same style.

    Found the 12x36's at Aaron Brothers on the way home from work yesterday - thanks jazzbo26! Now I just have to wait for my Rhys Cooper prints to flatten out a bit more before I frame those. :)

    for the 12X36 - Have you tried frameiteasy.com?  You can have them build custom frames on the cheap but 
    I have found the quality is pretty good.

    Signed up on the website and got a 20% off coupon. They were on sale too, so it was just over $100 for 4 of them. :)

    Took a while to find this print, but it was quickly framed and placed on the wall. DeLuna was such a great experience.
