For the longest time, I never really understood the passion for concert posters here.

Then I was given a gift from an extraordinary friend on this board whose name rhymes with Smetrios.

Now, In my office I have 2 posters which I have had professionally framed. Ed Vedder 2008 Batman, and Toronto 2009.

Every person who comes into my office makes a comment about how beautiful they are. I'll take a picture and post it here soon.

    You may want to pay for a portfolio case or poster storage box then... it's not good to leave them in their tubes, I believe. I've got about fifteen as well, most of which are framed - the rest I have left flat.

    I love posters. Unfortunately I have probably gone a little overboard with them -- I currently have at least 50 stored in a portfolio in my room.

    On the plus side, I have recently discovered the joy of self-framing. There is a great sense of satisfaction in selecting a frame, matte, etc., having it sent, and assembling it yourself. I've only done two so far but I am already thinking about doing a couple more this month.

    Before I do that, though, I need to get my EV Chicago A/P framed...gonna take that one to a pro.
