Given the prices some here are posting, I might have to order the supplies
and do it myself. I have an idea of the type of frame I want, so as to
compliment the style and period look of the poster. I will probably take
it to the framer that I've used before for an estimate. Cheers everyone,
Thanks for sharing this Zack. I was wondering what DLG would write about
this poster, having read his other writings on the poster site. His
reference to the Sacramento Bee is cool, since I grew up reading (no
delivering) that paper.I have my poster now and can say that no

Also, since I waited for the surprise, I of course now wanted to see it on

To get it vacuum mounted on board will cost you about $30-$50.
When the Postes begin to cost $100, as they will in the future, a $200
