    Do people in here have any tips about how to hang a framed poster like this, and what materials are needed? I have a bunch of PJ show posters from Chicago/Boston 2016 and 2018 that I am finally getting framed but I am NOT much of a handy man and have no idea how to hang these guys. Any tips would be appreciated! 
    The framer should include a wire across the back of the frame which you will use to hang the poster.  If you have drywall or sheet rock walls you can use hooks like the ones below.  There are cheaper versions but for a few bucks more they work really well.  And if you buy the variety pack you should be set for awhile.  Just use the right size hook for the weight of the frame.  That way you just need one hook centered to hang the wire on. 


    I only use small drywall anchors, the spin type.  They attach to the screw in hooks on each side..  I would not trust a wire and nail unless the frame is lightweight plastic with a plastic “glass”.

    I hear ya. Totally get you want peace of mind.   But if you use the right weight hook you’re good.  These hooks are also designed so that the mail goes in at an angle so it makes it a secure hold.  I’ve used these with over 20 framed posters with thick solid word frames and never had an issue.

    Has anyone found a store/company that sells a stock frame that can be used to frame the Klausen 2016 Wrigley print? Dimensions are listed as: 13.75 x 25
    Thanks for any and all advice. Have a good and healthy week everyone. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

    You mean exactly that size with no mat?  I framed mine in a 20x28 I believe.

    Three days of rain will do that.

    We needed it though. My back yard was looking pretty dry and we recently airrated and seeded so a little rain is welcome. Also glad to have these on the walls instead of taking up floor space in tubes.
