I think I am going to be in trouble.

When my wife finds out I bought 4 posters today! To shows I did not even attend. I could not pass on the Pitt and Charlotte Posters. I also really like the Worchester 10/15 and I got the EV Perth Print as well. I figure face value prints at the very least are an investment, though I would have zero issue handing all 4 on the wall. I got very lucky. Good PJ day!

    Of course she was home when they were all delivered since it snowed again and she worked from home. I got some dirty looks a "this is it right?" comment. I have not broken the news to her yet that I found and purchased the 03 MSG I needed, or the 00 Jones Beach. Might need to bribe the kids to hide them when they come this week!

    don't ask me why.....I thought you were female....the mention of a "wife" makes me think you are most likely a guy. Not 100%, but most likely. I have a wife, too

    So Leg 1 poster orders have already arrived? I thought the expected ship time wasn't until around 3/10? I ordered the 25 poster lot, hasn't shown up yet...

    I think you are being sensitive here. This read clearly as playful banter.

    Ha ha, I dread it every time my wife does the online banking. In the last two weeks she's found debits for Nijmegen 10, Mexico 05, New Orleans 12 and two Klausen non PJ prints. It isn't just the prints dropping through the door, more to do with the trips to the framing shop. It's hard convincing someone that you need more posters... :) I saw you bagged the MSG and Jones Beach prints Marjen. Congrats, hope you got them at a good price.

    what does a decent frame job cost nowadays, $150?

    I have a great guy doing mine and he is charging me between $115 and $125 a print. But I think he is cheaper than most.

    Based on your posters being collected, you live in NE. Who's your framing guy?

    I've used them for every single one of my prints. You have to put it together and wait to have it mailed to you, but it is a fraction of the cost of getting something custom framed in a store.
