    As in tell me where you live so I can jack that bad ass HOB poster...it was a joke.
    First of all its in the safety deposit box and I will be listing it on epay for $10,000. I figure the tickets were $1,000. This is the only one test print and probably 300 regular HOB's printed and none were re-sold on the ten club, so I think they will be worth more than the AC in about 6 months or so. That is a one of one that I have,not like the total crap that Ames claims to be test prints they sold with the Canada package. So if you want, I will sell it for $8,000 before someone hits the "buy it now" for 10 grand. Anyone interested?? Let me know. :)

    Yeah I agree that looks like it would be the closest fit.

    If I called them, would I have to show them where to look up a picture of the poster to compare the two? I don't know how to describe the color in the Borgata aside from 'pink'.

    I was wondering, would it be feasible to order everything from American Frames except for the pink matte, if I can find it on another site/store? Or do they automatically cut everything in a certain size so it would be impossible to do so.
    Americanframe is also cool because you can order everything seperatly if you want. You can get just a frame or just plexi or just the mattes. Get the link to the poster and give it to them over the phone I think would work. Hot pink maybe?- Or order a white matte and go buy a pink permaenant marker and color it yourself??

    Thanks for the help guys. I looked on several other sites and saw nothing even coming close to a match, but I did request a catalog from AmericanFrames. I'll probably have to wait till next week(2 weeks at the most) to frame it, but I really want to do it right, so I suppose I'll just have to be patient. I'm considering using red instead of pink if I can't find a fit, but I may also check the local frame store and see if they have a pink that would match the poster.

    On expressobeans I found a tutorial on framing. Is there anything in here that you would not reccomend doing(newbie at this, so I really have no clue if I should just blindly trust this or not)?

    it's good info.... but I don't bother with tape or even mylar corners.... once you "sandwich" the poster between the acid backboard, matte, UV glass then tighten the frame and put the clips in - it will stay....

    does anyone frame without mattes and if so what do you use to keep the poster off the glass?

    they make spacers that will lift the poster off the glass.

    Check out jerrysartarama.com - They have some sweet presentation cases/portfolios for posters. I highly recommend getting the 24"x36" one because it will hold almost all the PJ posters. In my collection right now I have the 18x24 and a bunch won't fit. So fork over the extra cash for the bigger one. I believe only one brand has the 24x36, but I would give them a call and ask, they are a good company. Also there's masterg.com - but I think jerrys has a better selection and prices, but check them out and let me know how you come out. Good luck, Angelo

    You can also check local art supply shops around your college. They'll have portfolios for sure.

    My newest thanks to the tenclub. I'm not to happy with the framing job, and that frame needs some serious windex. However I wasn't sure what color to go with, and trying to match up over the web is tough. I actually thought that it was going to be a very off white that would match the sign etc.

    Oh well my borgota. Maybe one day I'll re-matte it.

    The pink Borgata looks so good that I don't think anything could ruin it;)

    What would you guys think of a 1/4 inch off-white matte and a 2 inch black matte?

    That looks similiar to what I was planning. What do you mean about the whites? Looks like they match in the pic.

    I got my Mexico poster from the 10C sale Saturday night and went ahead and got it framed yesterday. I was pretty excited when this one went up for sale since the colors match the room pretty well.

    thanks for the compliments guys. I dont know, maybe they do match ha, however I was hoping it would match more the color of the offwhite in the sign, which is more grayish then white I think. Maybe I'm crazy.

    I'm not that unhappy with it, but could have been better with a pink or something maybe?

    Wow, the mat is perfect with the colors of the poster! Good stuff. Unfortunately I missed out on this poster...looks like I have to trade for it.

    Nice, I like that frame, it's a lot like what I got on my gorge poster.
