    Hey group, can someone point me to a DIY shop you have used and liked? I want to take a shot at framing my St.Louis Ames on my own here at home - too nervous to drop it off anywhere. Also, anyone have pro tips on these 98's? Dimensions? Matte ideas? Appreciate all of your wisdom!

    I really like this place. I have framed several posters using them when I don't want to spend a lot at the framers.

    What glass do you choose and are you pleased with it? That's where it can spike in price,  I've found.

    For poster sizes, they use plexi. It is lighter to ship. I usually get the UV non-glare version. Once it is on the wall it looks like glass. I have not used them to frame more expensive or rarer posters. I spend the money at a framer for those. However, I will probably use them for my 10C posters I just ordered. For those, it is fine. You can also order with no glass if you want and just buy the mat and frame, and buy the glass separately at a framers if you don't want plexi.

    Is it that super cheap plexi that's paper thin?  You usually see that at Michaels for the really cheap frames.  Or is it something a bit more substantial?

    I've been using Art to Frame for years, really dig that place.  Have over 20 of their frames, with three more on the way!

    I’m not sure what Michael’s frames are like so I can’t compare. It is not super thick, but not that flimsy. You could call and ask. For me it’s a good alternative. The last two posters I framed cost $350 each just for the framing. Worth it for those two. But for my two coming up, it is not. What I might do is what I suggested and buy the frame and the mat there, and the get the glass from my framer. But here is a photo of something I framed using Art to Frames with the plexi. It came out ok.

    Looks nice, nice print too.  Thanks for your feedback.  I do my own framing for normal size posters, but I"ve got all these 12x36 ones that require a 16x40 frame, which I can't find without a total custom job.  I think I'll try one and see how the plexi is.  To your point, I could get someone to cut some glass later if it it's too cheap.

    I don't want to start a new thread for this, but does anybody know if there is a PJ website or anywhere that might have a list w/ pictures of all specific show Pearl Jam posters? Or at the very least recent ones from maybe the past 5 or 6 tours?

    Type in Pearl Jam in the year of the poster your looking for.

    Not Pearl Jam, but wanted to share. This is from Jack White's gig in my hometown Poznan, Poland. The art by Grzegorz Domaradzki (gabz), Krzysztof Domaradzki's twin brother.

    This is a cool poster. I’ve owned a few Doberman’s in the past. Great dogs.
