Someone let me know if it would be improper to repost ones from the Forum that shall not be named.
I wanted the CT version of this one but it sold out before I could get it. It’s soooo niceI don’t usually buy tour posters, but I love looking at them. I did buy this one though:

I went through a period where I bought a bunch of gig posters, but I have definitely cooled off in recent years. They're so expensive to frame, and, at some point you run out of wall space. If I see one that is really cool or special in some way, I may grab it. That was the case with this Cruiserweight reunion poster from their show a few weeks back. The color scheme doesn't really fit my place, but I liked the concept, and the show was so much fun that I wanted to have a physical document of it.
Interesting. I guess it depends on the poster or the person’s taste but I personally, am not a huge fan of the older vintage looking frame like in the last poster here. I like a nice simple color, black or white or maybe a hardwood. It’s also much cheaper. The one I framed today was $28 to frame it.Here's a recent one:

They certainly can be. There were three I wanted framed recently. Saw Michael's having a "70% off custom framing" sale. Took them in. After the employee finished picking out a frame and mats for one of the posters, she plugged in the numbers and...
"Ok, that's $320 for the first poster"
"Whoa...alright, but don't forget the 70% off"
"That's with the discount already"
"What! You're telling me this would cost a grand without any sale??"
"Hmm, i guess so"
"Ya know, I like these posters, but...no, I'm gonna pass then"
Walked out, but I was too set on framing them. I scoured the internet for cheaper frames I could live with, stopped at Blicks for archive proof backing, and found a great site that custom cut's mats with a great selection, and even included corner designs. Hung them up the other day:

For maybe $250 in all together, I'm very happy.
God I wish Gigposters.com was still active. I found so many of my favorites on that site, and was even able to purchase a few directly from the artists. Below are some pics of some of my favorites that I own and display. A few of these are from shows I actually went to. Others are from different stops on tours that I caught here in Austin. Others are just pieces I thought were cool visually.
Gigposters was the best. That was before most artists had their own webstore, so they were so happy to have you purchase from them. I had a few throw in extra prints and artwork with my purchase.

Blick’s I know...is that where you got the mats, or was it a different site?

Thanks. I’ll give them a tryPicked up the mats from https://matdesigners.frameusa.com . They can be slow, and they can make mistakes, but they replace them without question. I would call in the order over doing it on the site.
