    there are 3. the inner one is pink (about 1/4"). the 2nd is yellow (about 1/4"). and the 3rd is black (about 1"). see them all now?
    Just as I suspected - the 3rd one is too dark to show up on my screen. I can't see it at all no matter how hard I stare, but I'll take your word for it. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    I just went to Michael's and dropped CAN $130 (tax included) just to frame my blue Boston pre-VFC poster! I can't wait to see how it turns out, though - it'll be my first professionally framed poster (my Toronto '03 was just placked).

    When I say Michael's, I mean buying the precut frames and doing them yourself, not having them do it. That is what I meant by a cheaper alterantive. ;)

    Holy shit - that is a lot of money. You could have found cheaper places around here.

    I've been doing them myself ($25 frame at Ikea, $20 acid free matte at Loomis) but I'm curious where you are talking about. $130 is a little high, but if it is not much more than I'm currently paying to do them myself, I will consider the upgrade.

    I probably could've just bought an 18"x24" frame (my poster is 15x23), but the ready-made frames I saw weren't all that nice. The custom frame I'm getting is metal with a really cool sort of wavy texture that should really compliment the blue flames nicely.
    I don't intend to do all my posters like this, but I figured the Boston one might be more of a collector's item so I wanted to do it right. I'll probably be a little more stingy for the posters from the shows I went to, since those are more personal and I'm not as concerned with the actual collector's value. I'm not sure, though - I may get a custom frame for hamilton too, just because it's the one I went through the most trouble to get (you da man Beer Baron!). Right now I'm framing my posters one at a time, and I'll decide on a case by case basis.

    I've never framed any PJ posters before but now I'm gonna give it a try using the advice in this thread. But I have a question, I've noticed some people have put their concert tickets in with the poster, has anyone tried puttin in pictures they've taken from the show along with the poster? I was considering doing this and was looking for opinions from some of you that have done lotsa poster framing. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Nice Idea... I was or having a Message Pit party at a concert and having everyone sign the poster with their user ID. :-)

    When you get a matte for your poster is there a typical width around the poster that you have the matte cover? In other words: Would you typically run a 3 inch matte top/bottom/left/right?

    I usually just run an inch/inch and half..... me personally 3 inches too much

    yeah I've gotten plenty of e-mails from people wanting it. however, boston, along with hartford, are both headed to the framers in the near future.

    I'm closing the PM window as I type. Please post a pic when it comes back. That poster is so elusive I'm thinking of getting it as a tatoo.
