    Just wanted to share my newly framed posters with you guys. If not for the info/inspiration I got from this thread, my posters would still be sitting in the closet because I was too cheap to have Michael's frame them. Gotta love americanframe.com.

    Also, if anybody's got an extra Gorge poster laying around, let me know -- generally I'd only want the shows I've been to, but the Gorge 05 is nice.

    What are the sizes on all those, if you don't mind me asking? And can you throw out a rough estimate of what it cost for each one through AmericanFrame.com? They all look really good, I think. Nice and simple ... black frames, single mat, and that allows the posters to work on their own.

    I'd also be interested.

    Thanks. I did a couple of things differently than others might have: 1) the mats are only 1" wide versus the standard 2" (just a personal preference), and 2) had them cut the mat a little too close to the actual size of the poster which led to a slightly more difficult mounting (next time I'd give a little more wiggle room).

    Anyway, I pulled the order details off americanframe. This should give you everything you want:

    How much do you all generally pay for a custom framing? I went the other day to a local store and even after a 50% discount she wanted $102.00. I walked out.

    Is this crazy expensive, or am I just out of my element?


    That seems a little expensive. I go to a place and I get a 33% off coupon every month. With good glass, acid free matte and midgrade frame it costs me $60-70 a frame. The ladies that work there like the Pearl Jam art work and say they have some pretty good art.

    NJ #1 - Black Matte with a Blue bevel. I was unable to match the colors in the poster so I chose blue which is the primary color of all of them.

    NJ #2 - Simple black matte with a white bevel for the 3d effect.

    i have about 15 posters i would like to store in an art presentation case or portfolio. can anyone point me to a post that outlines some recommendations on the best ways to do this? basically, I want to know:
    a) brands of presentation cases & companies that sell them
    b) type of sleeves to store posters
    c) should i use anything in addition to the sleeves to help protect the posters until i get them framed? i.e.- "framing corners" or something to prevent posters from adhereing to the sleeves

    thanks for anyone's help...61 pages of posts in this thread is a lot to dig through, but i'm getting started!

    Do you think the 50% off would apply to just having them put that foam backing on the poster?

    I"m thinking of just getting that done and then doing the rest myself to save some cash.
