It depends for me. Sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't.

I framed my Cincinnati '14 with the tickets which I gave to my son for Christmas. I included the tickets mainly because it was his first concert and it will always be a special memory for us. Going forward I don't think I will frame tickets, stickers, or anything with the poster.

Ok-
Hate to ask but I don't even know where to start with this thread.

I want to start chipping away at the framing with the huge caveat of - - what is the best value custom frame job?

Michaels seems to always be 40% off

Anyone ever used Frame It Easy or Simply Framing?

Sorry for the vague ask and apologies if it's easier to find the answer through search...

I used Michael's for my Cracker Jack frame. $220 later, I went with webpictureframes.com for the remaining 13. A simple black frame, white matt and anti-glare UV acrylic runs me about $100. I'll try to add some pics, but I'm on my phone so...Adventure awaits

I'm the same, I've only done it for a few of my posters.

I love having the ticket nice and centered on the bottom because visually it can align evenly and works out great imo.

Putting in stickers on the other hand I have never been a fan. Especially when they dont match the print in any sort of way or they are just thrown in somewhere random.

Not a PJ poster. Never could find a mat that matched the colors on the poster, think the frame does the job pretty well. It's the printers proof 1 of 1, of the Allman Brothers Band and Widespread Panic from 2009 in Charlotte, NC. Someone posted a pic of the bottom of the poster on expressobeans back in March, guess they found where I posted it at in the past.

I never include the tickets, etc, but my Thomas "Catch" poster was just screaming out for it.The patch is so closely related to the whole theme, that I think it worked perfectly. I was even able to hang this one in my office.

That does work well together with everything common-themed. Nice work!

Finally got the last one hung up. Nothing fancy and I don't have much. Just real thankful I got to see these shows while I'm here, since I'm only slotted to be stationed in South NJ for 3 years 'til next year. Perfect timing

Looks great!

Hey gang, quick question. How do you insert images on here? I have tried the image button above the comments box, but I'm not sure how it works on here.

Thanks

You have to use a file sharing site like Photobucket...
Upload your pictures and use the "direct" link.

Should have 10 posters coming back from the framers this week unless they lied to me on timing. Can't wait to see. NOt looking forward to figuring out where they go and hanging them.

Do any of you use Command Picture Framing Strips instead of using nails? Seems a lot easier and you can avoid all the nail holes. You just need to be careful not to hang up crooked.

We used to and we came home to frames/canvas on the ground numerous times. We lived in Hawaii then so not sure if the problem was the wall paint or humidity, but I can only speak for that. Considering you probably spent some serious $s with custom framing, I wouldn't trust those things. I don't use them anymore, but surely some have no issues with them
