    Been following this thread for a while. I have many posters that I've kept flat in a "science project" cardboard enclosure. That said, I want to start framing them, but not all at once. I'm lazy and didn't want to sift through 479 pages of thread posts. So, I wanted to ask:

    1) What is a good portfolio I can buy to get them out of the make-shift storage I have? Most of the posters are 18X24. I'm getting ready to frame my short/wide Yield poster, so that won't need to be in the portfolio, but I have a Portland (Ridgefield, WA) 2009 that is a bit larger. Basically, just trying to get a consensus of what everyone's using prior to framing.
    2) I'm thinking of going the Art-To-Frame route for framing since I can see what different mattes look like (single/double) and many on this thread have had good things to say about them. However, I'm unsure of what type of glass to choose...there are so many options to choose from (Regular, UV Protection, Non-Glare, UV Non-Glare, Museum Quality). Any thoughts? Again, just trying to get a consensus. These are valued "keepsakes" of mine, as I only have posters from the concerts I've attended...yet, I don't wanna break the bank. And is $29.99 really the standard shipping rate?
    Any opinions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Here a few more to help with ideas, The Wrigley one for example is non glare glass I went with a patterned matting on that one,   the 2003 St. Louis one is regular glass so obviously more reflective.  The UV protection glass with help to protect colors from fading with sunlight or to preserve autographs.

    If you can justify the cost, the Baroque (https://www.baroqueportfolios.com/) is great for holding your favorites, but I would avoid getting the extra sleeves & overloading if you intend to transport. The binder rings can only hold so much weight. There's a 24" x 36" option that can accommodate the larger size prints. 

    I have a Baroque for my favorites & oversized prints, and a cheaper portfolio I got off Amazon for the rest.

    Beautiful! Really like the Wrigley matting.

    Finally got my NZ concert posters framed, decided to add a clear back so I can show off the design in the back if needed. Happy with the results

    They look great! Did you get them done professionally, or do yourself via Framefox or something?

    company called Framing Online in NZ, super helpful in deciding and turned out great. Ordered the frame and parts and I mounted the posters

    Appreciate the lead mate. I’ve got both of AKL1 to do and had settled a bit on Framefox, but good to hear there’s more options. Cheers

    Wow - what a gem! I'm sure you know but, UV protective plexiglass or acrylic is essential to preserve the colors over time. I also use non-glare UV plexi so you don't see those annoying reflections staring back at you, but some people feel it dulls the fine details a bit. Have fun!
