    Custom framing is expensive. Some shops are more/less. In my opinion, I'd rather spend a little more to have someone I trust with my prints.

    I just got 2 framed for like $460 total...but from a hell of a shop and I know they will last forever. Well worth it.

    I was inspired by the posts of all the PJ collections. The framed posters looked amazing but after today I realize there's no way I could possibly hang with these people! For now ill just admire their collections.

    Yeah, it's insane, eh? I've got 3 posters I really want to frame, but fuck... I want the matting so bad, but it adds $200 per poster!! Might have to just go without, but I don't want to. :(

    Take your time and get them done exactly how you want. Took me a while to get mine framed but I just sacrificed buying some more expensive beer here and there and a drink or two less at the bar. Suprisingly I saved up some money from doing that pretty fast :lol:

    the art teacher in my school charges me $20 for labor on top of the cost of supplies.....museum quality glass, matte and frames. All of my concert posters have turned out amazing. She tells me a lot of the framing shops out there are a complete rip off.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it previous to this this post but there's a board member who does amazing work from the pictures I've seen. Check out this post: http://community.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=200691#p4792828 The Hoff is the man! :D

    CUSTOM FRAMING HAS A BIGGER PROFIT MARGIN THan pizza. Enough said and no correcting the cap lock.
