I just got back from the poster shop today and will post a picture of the Tulsa poster framed. It looks great.

Here's my only framed poster, from Bridge 2010. Signed by Ed and Brad. No. 167 out of 214. Going to get my Wrigley Cracker Jack framed next, just soo damned expensive


Is the wrigely poster signed too? I see your avatar with a Cubs player?
The Bridge Poster looks awesome!!!!!!! It is quite expensive when you pay someone to do it right.
Now, to do it yourself you can save a ton of dough???

No it's not signed. I'm gonna do it with our tickets fanned out along the bottom though. I think it was like $100. Cheaper to do it yourself but I'd rather let the pros do it, at least for the special posters. And no that is definitely not a Cubs player, although he probably wants to be from time to time

If you got that double matted and a nice frame for 100.00 then I would stick with that framer and can I send you some of my posters to be framed? Great price.

Cool thanks for the response. Not sure how I missed that.

Anyone have any examples of how they've shadow box framed a tambourine, either with a poster, separate, or with other show goodies?
Thanks in advance.

It would take some searching,
but if you have a chance and really want to see some GREAT framed items...
look for the post by pdalowsky where he has a TON of links to his INCREDIBLE collection!!!
TRULY some great frame jobs in there!!

Thanks Dave

My wife got it done at Michaels with a 50% off coupon. She doesn't remember exact price, it may have been around $130.

I bought this shadow box at Michaels for maybe less than $50. It was fairly easy too.

a couple from the last tour...

I couldn't do my usual two inch border on denver because standard mat board is only 38" tall. oh well, for a tall, skinny poster I think it's OK.

on st. paul, I had to magic marker the mat core....otherwise, it looked very washed out with yellow next to white. I kinda liked the look with a purple mat and maybe should have gone with that. I don't stress too much on these...I just get 'em flat and up on the walls.

For those who order through American Frame, how hard is the assembly once everything is received? Also, I am on a strict budget, I have 4 posters I am needing to get framed, including the monster that is the PJ20 Klausen. I am looking for a "very reasonably" priced black frame from AF. Any suggestions? Thanks all!!

Very easy and comes with instructions. Probably takes 20-30 mins or so to frame. For me, the most time-consuming part is getting the poster aligned properly on the back of the bottom mat, and then putting it into place with acid-free paper and tape.

super easy. I've done so many, it's probably now a 15 minute job. I think they tell you to pre-drill for the clips on the back but it's not at all necessary. just run 'em in with a cordless drill. All my posters were framed using american frame #8411.

the "monster" poster may cost you extra shipping. On anything over 50 inches width plus height, they'll hit you with another 15 bucks. you can get the frame unassembled to avoid the surcharge, but the mat (if you have one) will put you over.

Thank you guys so much for the input!

My Moline poster is at the shop, will be done the same as others and I'll post a picture of it when I pick it up.

I'll admit it...
I was one of those idiots that stood in the merch lines for hours to score posters at my shows this year!!!
I was lucky & got one for each of my 7 shows...

Not sure when I'll get around to framing these,
but Moline & Lincoln will probably be the first ones in this batch I have done!
The others will end up sitting in my flat file for years

Have a question. I have a pic that I want to get framed with one of my posters and when I had it at the framers today to get some ideas. He talked about taping the pic to the matte and I said no. So he wasn't sure how to go about fastening it. I'm worried that for some reason down the road I end up taking the pic out of the frame, I'm afraid the tape may pull off some of the picture on the pic. So anyone frame a pic with a poster or something and how did the framer/you go about doing it?

Leezestarr313

Hail hail the lucky one who scored I am still going to try and get mine here when the time has come. I am excited to see what you guys make of it! I think the Moline poster has a lot of potential for interesting ideas!

Black35, do you mean a picture or a pick? I think I have seen people including picks with their framed posters, hopefully somebody will come up with a tip. I just stick mine into the frame on the outside. Not very creative, but this way I can pick them up every now and then.

The Lincoln, Milwaukee & Moline posters are my faves too.
I ended up getting the Milwaukee one from my good friend jlaustin...she ended up with an extra one!!
