The guys at Michael's were trying to convince me to dry mount my posters, which I did NOT do. Have any of you ever done this?

When i was at Michaels talking to them about framing my 3 s/n klausen posters, the lady i was talking to was adamant in making sure that since they were signed that i made sure that they were not dry mounted.

Very nice!

thanks, i am real happy with it, its a beast though. Total measurement is 28x38, gonna have to find a good spot for it. Most likely my living room.

I know what you mean. Mine is 53.5 x 34.5. It is over the couch in the living room, and it is almost as long as the couch.

I like the Ed with the stub, etc. Are you planning to do any "special" with the dusseldorf? btw, i'd just like to say - i love this thread...its INVALUABLE in figuring out what to do BEFORE I frame. I will soon have an 08 DC to share with the group....

thanks, as far as the Duss I will probably just grab a standard metal frame and some glass. I was thinking of cutting my own wood for the frame but I will do that with my CCFA Hawaii print I think. I have the Orange and Blue one and I was thinking of making a dual frame.

I actually thought about doing what you did but for my NJ Camden and ER posters. I don't have the wall space for anything like that right now. Not until I finish my basement. Maybe next year. Yours looks really sweet though, great job on that.

I started a separate thread for this the other day because I forgot about this thread. I also need to get some pics up of the Fargo poster that I had framed as a X-mas present for my brother in law.

That looks very cool............

IS the book below the sniper book the same thing?..........

A store which normally sucks (aka Michael's), actually had some damn good frames for 50% off making them around 20 bucks each w/ glass. I got 5 posters framed for a total of about $160.00..not too shabby...here's some pics..

I have the front and back of the Sniper program. The back of the program is a smaller image of the East Coast blue Eddie poster. I have it hanging in my living room directly over the couch. (it is almost as long the couch)

I am still married. Though she isn't as big a PJ fan as I am, she is a pretty damn cool wife.

they were ready made frames .. (includes frame and glass) normally $40-50 bucks ...they were half off so $20-25 bucks. I opted not to get mats for a few because of the style of one of the frames made it appear to have a mat already ..I ended up buying 2 mats total...wala...if you are lucky you can catch that sale sometime.

I will never get custom frames from Micheals...on their 50% sales they just raise their prices.

I was quoted 60 bucks for a price for a 30x20 piece of regular glass...RIP OFF!!!...esp since I ended up finding a 30x20 frame w/ glass for $20.00 at their store!!!

i gotta post my pictures, the frame looks great, but will never pay that much again. i have so many posters to be framed, but couldn't do it for that much.
