    Another self-frame job. The guy at Michael's hooked me up with the mat, it was discontinued so ended up being only $10 instead of $60; so it ended up being about $35 total with frame, mat and backing. Couldn't capture how much the purple makes the rest of the color in the poster pop, but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to frame this one!

    How much does hobby lobby run on average?

    If you use one of their standard sized frames, the prices aren't bad at all. They always have a 40% coupon you can use too. Prices have been between $70-90 for me depending on if I did a double matte. Very reasonable.
    How do get a standard size frame and a matte though? I thought standard size was 18x24 and that is usually the size of the posters I have - so are the frames really like 20x26? and that is considered standard size?
    For the posters I have that are 18 x 24 (a lot of PJ posters are that size), they use a 22 x 28 frame. That's a standard frame that they sell for $60. Then it's around $20 per matte that fits the 22 x 28 frame. And even if the poster needs a custom frame, the prices aren't too bad. I had to get a custom frame for 1 poster and it turned out to be around $110.
    Are they using archival or acid-free backing boards and mats? How about UV plexi or glass? Just curious as I have never used HL but would if their prices were that low and they were using proper archival supplies.

    They just opened a new Hobby Lobby 5 minutes where I live. I took my Philly 2 poster in for an estimate and ended up letting them frame it. Frames were half off and I used the 40% off coupon for the glass. I did a simple black frame, 2'' navy blue acid free mat and backing, UV standard glass, and it'll cost me right around $100 after taxes. I thought that was pretty good, hopefully it turns out well.

    By the way, Michael's wanted around $200 for the same thing.

    Michael's pricing - even with their 60%/70% sales - is usually ludicrous. There's no hobby lobby around me, so if the poster is not 18x24inches, I use American Frame.com

    I hope you're pleased with the finished product you receive.... sounds like you got a nice price deal

    I use American Frame for everything. Except sometimes they don't have the right color mats I'm looking for so I just pick some up at a local frame shop. All around the best value there is, you just have to put it all together.

    It's a gem.
    I'm not sure why other posters get more attention and sell for a lot more on eBay etc.
    It's a beautiful piece.

    I remember people saying that Owls have nothing to do with NYC or MSG. And that since the artist said that the owl drawing was something he wanted to do anyway and wasn't a new concept for this poster, that it was disappointing or something.

    Personally I was already in line waiting when I saw the photo of it and I practically did a backflip. All the prior show posters on this tour were not really to my taste, so when I saw this I was very happy. The only one I like more than this from this tour is the Toronto 2.

    I had originally matted Philly II with a light green. I added a dark green. Much better.

    I kind of learned that under most circumstances, light/bright mats detract from the print

    That's funny I wasn't going to buy a poster either. My wife loves owls and its nice enough to go in our living room.
    Wasn't a fan of msg2 2016 poster, which we also attended.
