Nothing fancy here. Just a vintage wood frame and a badass poster!

Looks pretty sweet. Are the guy's name on the scoreboard that close to the edge of poster? It seems a shame that almost the 1st letter of their name has been cut off by the matte.

They're cut off on the print, that's how Steve did the print, nothing to do with matting or framing.

It's a little weird & confusing on the lettering of the names. It doesn't seem to line up right.
Look at where the names/words are cut off:

- the "A" in Ament is the 1st letter
- the "a" in Cameron is the 2nd letter
- the "c" in McCready is the 3rd letter
- the "N" in innings is the 3rd letter

Maybe it's just me.

The names aren't aligned too the left. They're centered within each box.

They're not even centered. Look at Gaspar and McCready. They have similar right ending points, but McCready is missing 2 letters to the left side. I actually noticed the same thing as the other guy the first time I saw this poster, and figured it was just me being weird/picky.

Got my Fenway Thomas back.
Like always. Pictures don't do it any justice.

He is just using the last 6 letters of each band members name, with the first of the 6 being cut off. Ament only has 5 letters, so he pushed that one over a little bit and cut off the first of 5.

That's a beautiful frame job! I really wish someone picked me up that print at Fenway!

Love that green mat. Looks like Astro turf.

Yeah, the framer said it was the first time she ever used that mat.

I have several questions for you 'do it yourselfers'...

I ordered frames online for 5 posters. 3 of them I did with a matte, and 2 without. The 2 without are easy of course. I guess I was naive and expected there to be a slot for the poster to fit in to for the matted ones, but that's obviously not the case.

Now let me first backtrack to my Moline artist print...I absolutely hated the matte and framing done at Michaels a couple years ago and decided to reframe it. When carefully pulling it apart, I was disappointed to see the tape on the back would not come off cleanly. Is this normal? It might be because the Moline print is on an uncoated stock? It was doing some slight tearing off of the poster, albeit very slight. This was only on the back and is completely unnoticeable from the front when framed. So I'll live.

So now I have 3 frames with mattes, and I need to apparently buy the correct tape to fasten them in, eh? 1 of these posters happens to be cracker jack and I don't want to screw this up. Now luckily it's not an uncoated stock like Moline. Doing a quick google search, is the tape I want to buy 'see-thru archival mounting strips '? Any suggestions before I take the plunge?

It bugs me that when I framed my Wrigley subway print that the frame overs just enough to cover the Mike, Stone, Why Go, and John Hughes references on the right side. Looks like the same happened above too.
So ridiculous to bother me, as any other non-obsessive PJ fan/collector wouldn't even notice

I have been following this thread for years. I love logging in and seeing everyone's frame jobs, especially post tour like this. But it is frustrating that you can't search for specific prints. Until now... I am in the process of starting a new website that will serve as a database of framed PJ art that will be searchable. The site isn't ready to go live yet, I need your help. I am looking for folks to email me pics of their frame jobs. I don't want to just lift your pics from this thread as they are your pics and I won't assume you want them posted elsewhere. If you are interested in contributing, please email your pics of your frames to benbishop72@gmail.com. Please include your name or forum handle so I can credit you for submitting to the project. I hope the PJ poster enthusiasts are as excited as I am. Stay tuned...
