This is the first time I've ever had anything framed professionally.
I figured there was so much meaning behind this poster for me (my trip to europe, 5 of us without tickets to the Copenhagen show and going anyway and getting in for FREE, the beauty of the Pre-Show line up that day, the rainbow on our walk in Copenhagen......I could go on and on) that it would be well worth it to frame it with my ticket :D I couldn't be any happier.

    Some place in Venice Beach, CA
    Another Pearl Jam Poster Collector turned me on to this place.
    I'm not sure the name of the place but if you're in SO CAL
    I'll find out and let you know ;)

    I'm surprised it was just $85! I looked into getting something custom framed once and they were like "oh we're having a half-off sale" and the half-off price was over $200!

    Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good deal but being a single mommy and never having ANY money it was a stretch for me. But man, I think it was money well spent :D

    That poster kicks so much ass! I was so regretting not getting the Dusseldorf one too...or any poster for that matter but my Jeff setlist will just have to do!!! :)
    I sometimes can not believe it either, and it does NOT help that PJ decided not to put out any boots for what simply were some of the best shows--ever...in my opinion!! and ya, Copenhagen was magical. Will you ever hear a sound check like that....ever...?? pfft. it was like a free pre-show. Good. Times.
    I want to get that Italy butterfly poster framed...thats my next goal...you know after i stop being an indentured servant for the Education dept. in California!!

    Looks amazing! Not for anything but I think framing has got to be the biggest mark up of anything I've ever seen. I took a small, old $5.00 reproduction map of my hometown to get framed and was told it'll be $175.00 I mean come on, we're talking about some matting and wood. I understand a lot of time and custom work goes into it and all but come on, I don't see how frame shops charge so much.

    I've spent a mini-fortune on the few tour posters I have framed. I have another 7-8 to frame and I need to find a cheaper way.

    Ive got like 30 more i need framed but yours does look good. Im never comfortable with the different colored mats cause i know ill stare at it long enough and find its a different shade than from the poster and throw it out...OCD sucks.

    OCD is BRUTAL!! Sorry Dude..........But yeah, I agree. Framing is way OVERPRICED!!!!

    The guy that took me to this framing place (he does post here on this board, I wonder where he's been??) has had a ton of stuff done there.
    I guess for framing, it's pretty reasonable. He has had some other type of "glossing over posters" done there too and the have come out amazing!!
