The only "small" problem I have now is that I don't have any more walls to put all this frames (45) I have to rearrange the walls, something has to go down now

I never got an answer on this...
Question- Eddie Vedder Silhoutte East coast poster is 18.5" by 24" right?
and since im going to order a frame with mat boards I should order it as 18.25" by 23.75" as it suggests on American Frame?

a bit of info I was given people: -

I recently had my Hawaii Klausen framed.

I was expecting to pay a huge amount. I enquired about the glass that stops the print fading. The guy said can i be straight with you? I could sell you this special non fading glass for 6 times the price of the standard, however it will make NO difference. He proceeded to show me two journals containing research into the subject by professionals, the results were that although the special glass may reduce the fading very very slightly, it will not prevent it, the print will naturally fade, - there is nothing that can prevent this, even the relective non glare glasses and the likes. I was very surprised, Anyway I went with the normal glass.

This guy runs a framing shop, and has been there for over 25 years, but his main concern is the welfare of great dane dogs. So the shop acts as a charity for the rescue of them. He did a great job of my print, double matted, beautiful black frame, and finished very nice, for $80. the Framer down the road less than two miles away wanted over $300 (equivalent in the UK), so that just shows you the difference. To add also he does the non reflective glass too for the same price. What a great place. so i got my raleigh 98 and Maui 98 done also and my asia 95.

The moral being is that he could have kept quiet and sold me the dear glass for no extra benefit...and have been quids in.

sorry to go on....Its just i know how much people pay for these things framed.
