    And here is Cincinnati. Again, a few nitpicks. But overall, I'll survive. Wanted to try to mimic some of the shapes from the poster elsewhere. I guess we kind of succeeded with that. That's a Mike stage-used pick from the Cincy show.

    I think both turned out really well, like your ideas and trying to do something different than the traditional square cut out.
    Question on how you fastened guitar pick in Cincinnati frame job. How did you do it?

    @BLACK35 – they actually wanted to wrap the pick in this plastic wrap, which protects it and also allows it to be glued down without getting glue on the pick. But I didn't like that when I first saw it. So I came up with the idea of taking these little, tiny bits of sticky-backed foam that they use on the backs of metal wall frames to put in the corners – it keeps the metal frame from scuffing up your walls. They can't be more than 1/8-inch square. Anyway, I wanted them to take two of those little guys and stick one each at the top and bottom of the pick. That way, the adhesive that is touching the pick if very minimal – if I ever wanted to take this frame apart, those little bumpers would peel off and if they left sticky residue, it wouldn't be a lot, and it wouldn't be covering the logo on the back of the pick. And then I had them glue those little bumpers down to the matboard. So it did two things – it kept the pick from having to be wrapped in the distracting plastic, and it allowed the pick to be elevated a little off the back mat just a little so it's more 3-D than flat. (It's hard to get an accurate picture of that aspect of it.)

    How much does the custom framing including separate sections for ticket Stub, sticker and setlist typically run? Looks really nice but have to imagine it is over $300.

    I did mine at a local mom & pop shop and it ran me about $150. It was about twice the price of the others I have gotten done with just the basic framing with no "extras".

    I have spent $300 +/- per poster. But I like colored edged mattes and a certain frame. If you are unsure grab a poster and take it to a few places. Most will help you "design" your overall frame up and tell you what it will cost. And it is worth it. To me...when you look through this thread you can easily tell the difference between a very nice, professionally done job versus a do-it-yourself job. If you love the art like most of the folks here do then you want to do it justice I think...

    Spent $275 today to get the Cincy/Sticker/Ticket triple matte job like one I saw posted here...for my brother as it was his first show. Really need to learn how to frame myself!
    (He wanted to charge me $370 for a Jerry Rice Game/Signed Jersey and personalized Jerry Rice signed 8x10 picture in a big frame together. I left my personalized Jerry Rice football out...and is was still $370. Told him that would need to wait. PJ/Gifts come first!)

    I just brought my Denver poster to the local Michaels because it seems like most of you have had luck there -- triple matting, basic black frame and non glare glass -- the estimate came to $823 incl tax... Am I missing something? Has anyone else experienced this sort of estimate for this poster. The sales associate told me the price was due to the size of the glass... Any thoughts? Thanks

    Did you have a coupon? I just wait for there 60% plus 15% Sales which makes them somewhat affordable.

    Should have added that most of my posters are done with backing and basic frame & are around $100-$120. (I wait until I have 2-3 of them and the guy gives me a "discount")
    A local mom & pop store here. Am I in the right bracket or should I be shopping around? I like the owner and his wife but if I can get much cheaper I can look around.

    Depends on MANY factors...
    but I've NEVER been told a frame job was going to run over $400,
    let alone the $823 quoted above!!
    That's HIGHWAY robbery!!
    My most expensive frame job was this Emek AP:

    SDC11936-1 photo SDC11936-1-1.jpg

    It is a HUGE poster and has 3 levels...
    the top level is a suede finish plus it has a serpentine fillet between the bottom & top mattes.
    This was just under $400

    My Pittsburgh '13 Munk One was around $350 and has 4 levels including 2 different fillets:

    photo SDC12479_zps321305ff.jpg

    There's a "black vinyl" fillet between the black top matte and the yellow second matte around the poster!
    This Klausen / Worcester poster was around $250 and has 4 custom cut mattes to match the design of the poster:

    photo 9bc46836-72b5-43d7-a847-3efbec7892de_zpsadbf24cf.jpg

    Finally, I can get a standard poster in a nice frame for under $100

    Hope that answered some of your questions!!

    Yeah, thanks. Fuck that is awesome. The Pitt and Klausen are really great frame jobs in totally different ways. Your background really shows in how you design these. Very nice!
    (And it makes me feel like I am not getting ripped off, although it also makes me feel like the standard framing jobs I get done for most of my stuff is boring!)
