    Beer that poster is by Derek Hess he is awesome! I to own this poster and it is one of the first posters. It shows up on ebay every 4 months and not many were made and the ones that were really werent kept in great condition! Sometimes you can catch a jewel though! Mine is mint and s/n out of 200(?)! Also check out his site derekhess.com his NIN posters are amazing!
    Mine is #238/350. This was my second PJ show and I didn't know enough to buy a poster back then ... don't even remember seeing them at the show ... so I was pretty excited to pick this up on ebay a while back. It's got a couple of small dings on the edges that are covered by the mat, and the rest of the poster is in great condition.

    Do you really need to flatten it so it stays flat on its own before you frame it? Won't it just stay flat once you put it in the frame?

    Can anyone shed some light on this? Should the posters be flattened before framing or will they be fine once you put them in the frame? Thanks.

    Thanks! - I still don't understand why people are going to Michaels and such and happy to get them framed at 50% off and still pay like $150 each. Mine were mostly $65-75 total including the frame, 2-3 mattes, uv plexiglass and acid free backing. I think that's the way to go for the cheaper posters. Now I might want to check into my Istanbul and Rome for a professional job. Still not sure yet.


    i was on american frame for the first time... still a newbie

    tell me... why do you need multiple matte's??

    You don't need multiple mattes. People often use 2 (or 3) simply to make the framing job look better. It is all personal preference.


    thanks

    reading another post i think i get it... someone used a black matte and a pink matte... so they're both over the poster but only 1/4 inch of the pink will show and then the black will be on the top?

    and i can't get to photo bucket from work but i'll check the pics here at home

    cheers

    It doesn't have to be 1/4 inch of the bottom mat showing. I was playing around with it and you can show more of the bottom mat if you'd like.

    Just framed my London poster tonight.....hope to have a pic soon.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    If anyone here is bidding on Ebay for the '96 Randall's Island with the worn edges, please stop. I think that 10 years is long enough to wait for this poster and I'd like to have it now. Please resume.

    I like the montreal I dislike the NY! It has so many colors you could have picked for a mat better than white! I just think white mats are so plain! Just an opinion though! Overall nice job!

    Just took my Borg. in to get framed. Just simple black. Don't want to take anything away from the best poster ever. I have big plans for Winnipeg and Gorge, and Fargo if I can ever get my hands on one.

    It's blue. I'll try to take a better picture of it tonight or over the weekend.

    I took the pic with my camcorder with no flash and the lighting was bad.
