Has anyone here attemped to frame their autographed posters themselves?
Any tips to share? I have a signed 20x30 poster I'd like to frame. I frame my own 8x10's but I've never framed a poster before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I framed a Broadway Cast signed poster. The fame isn't like a really nice frame, it's plastic. I think I bought it at Target or Walmart. If you want a really nice frame for that big of size, you're probably have to get a custome frame. Hoped I helped!

I've always wanted one of those poster display thingies that the stores have, where you can put a bunch of posters in them and move them around to look at each one.

I wanted to mat it, but if I did I think I would need a custom frame since the poster is 20x30. Would there be a problem if the signature was touching the glass or acrylic?

there is a seller on eBay that has reasonable prices. they are around the $25 per price but it comes cut to your exact size and it has UV plexiglass instead of glass. i would recommend to not getting glass frames.
i forget the seller, but they are great frames... you even get a nice padded acid free backing for it and they are really nice to deal with. i buy from them frequently and its high quality stuff and more important it will keep the poster and signature in good condition

The cheap ones from any store that the poster touches the plastic are okay. I had posters hung for at least ten years when I was younger in these and they came out okay. I now get mats cut on Ebay and buy wood frames from Big Lots.
