    I know this has been asked before but need recommendations for what color mat and frame to use for my Thomas poster with tickets and patch. May even go with wood frame to give it that ol' school feel.

    Here is what I recommend if you are looking to frame yourself. I have yet to frame a poster, but I have framed a lot of comic art and signed sports photos using these products

    1 - Cheap frame from Amazon or Michaels (w/ 40% off coupon)
    2 - Archival mat & backboard from here: matboardandmore.com/
    3 - Swap out the standard glass/plastic with OP-3 acrylic from here: tapplastics.com/product/plastics/cut_to_size_plastic/acrylic_sheets_op3_uv_filtering/512

    If you have more than one poster you will be framing, order stuff together to save on shipping.

    OR

    If you have the opportunity to buy 2 posters at retail prices.....keep one in a portfolio/file and frame the other one in a standard frame/mat so if it does get faded....no biggie!!

    Hi all: any other examples of framed Welker MSG 2 posters? I absolutely love this thread and have seen the ones posted so far, but appreciate any additional inspiration.

    Have a great weekend framing your new Fenways and Wrigleys...

    I'm interested to see this too. I think the bright blue paper makes this poster a tougher one to find a good color for matting.

    Here is what i have done with some of my posters so far. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Sorry about all the bad angles... only way to keep the glare down. I have 2 posters from Boston and i'm thinking about doing something custom with at least one of them with the tickets and stickers and all.

    I just used americanframe.com for my Fenway Thomas poster. I'm a little nervous matching colors using a computer screen but I went for it so we'll see how it turns out. :confounded::fearful:
