Are you going to hang all those in that room when your done? That would look pretty nice I think.

Just a little FYI for people who want to frame posters but not use multiple mat's- framers have things called spacers that can be used to keep the poster off the glass. They're pretty much invisible and are pretty cheap.

No worries, I don't mind a bit. Here are a few others
Only the first two are professionally framed, but the rest are temporarily self framed until I get the money to do them one at a time....and several posters are still in the tubes waiting the frames. The same guy does all my framing so if you need some done let me know, I will hook you up with him..

So here is the deal. Long story short, I am taking my posters that aren't framed to my folks this weekend and they are going to have them framed for me for Christmas. Of course I will know what they are and I will pick everything out. So after Christmas I should add on the following shows
Lexington 03'
East Troy 03
Nobelsville 03'
Columbus 03'
Hershey 03'
London 05'
Kitchener 05'
all of those will be with my ticket stubs, double, maybe triple matted, and uv protected glass.

I have my neocon set famed as a set, so I am going to frame the elephant from VFC with all the stubs and matted etc.

I'll post after Chrismas......might be one of the greatest presents ever!!!

So when you guys say "double/tripple matted" do you mean with the one(s) on top being smaller than the ones underneath, so that you can see multiple borders, or are they all the same size and just for the sake of keeping the poster farther from the glass?

this is triple-matted. not sure about the actual width of the mattes. but you get the idea.

OK cool, so they are different sizes then (although I can only actually see 2 - unless the 3rd is just too dark to see in contrast to the frame).

I think that it is lifted 3 times? Not sure though.

Another few questions: What about my signed & numbered poster? Is there a way to mat it without covering that up? Or should I bother getting it matted at all?
I want my posters to look good, but I also want to protect them. What exactly should I do beyond just getting a plain old frame? Is UV glass, and all that acid-free stuff and everything really necessary?
Thanks

The mat does not have to cover your poster. You get yourself some hinging tape(its very light & won't damage poster)& tack the top of your poster to the mat(both on the back were it can't be seen), then the poster will just "hang" from the mat
Look very closely at my blue one & you'll see it's also signed & #

there are 3. the inner one is pink (about 1/4"). the 2nd is yellow (about 1/4"). and the 3rd is black (about 1"). see them all now?

Oh yeah, I see it. But isn't part of the point of matting to keep the poster away from the glass to protect the ink?
