Hey guys can anyone recommend a site to order inexpensive frames for pearl jam posters? Just got back from Europe and I am looking to frame some posters and throw them up in my basement. Also what is the standard size of PJ posters?
Thanks in Advance,
Louie

    all the posters vary in size, you will have to measure them.

    then decide if you want a mat for them or no mat.

    with a mat (the white frame around the picture)

    or no mat:

    make sure whatever you get is of 'archival' quality, and 'acid free'

    if you don't want the print color to fade, get glass that is UV protected.

    if you don't really care about the posters, then go ahead and pick whatever up at a craft/dollar store.

    i use framesbymail.com not bad prices for perfect fit. and there is no standard size...you have measure each poster...they are most all different and even the ones that are close to a standard size of 18 x 24 are usually like 18.5 x 24.5 so they wont fit unless you destroy the edges.
    Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    To find an approach and a way to live
    Are we getting something out of this
    all-encompassing trip?

    I totally agree RKCNDY.I get all my art work/posters done to conservation quality framing,acid free,fade proof and UV glass protected.It is not a cheap option but when I am investing in art and the memory that the posters convey it is important for me that I will have them for a lifetime.
    I'd rather have a couple of posters well framed for life than a dozen that through time slip,fade and erode.

    I'd suggest you google 'Guild of Master Framers' in your area,most will give you a free quote and can advise you better if you take the poster in and give you a range of framing options that would suit your price range.

    There is nothing better to make the poster 'pop' than to have it well framed :D
