Mike HThanks fellas. I just returned from a couple framers. Both suggested mounting in a way that allows the pennant to breath (1/4 to 1/2")between the glass and pennant. Both want to stitch from the back in a few spots (obviously without going through the pennant)and use a bit of acid free museum tape in a few spots to mount on a cloth covered backer board. What do you guys think of that?
I liked the backgrounds that were a little bit squash (but not yellow) colored like the lettering or darker tan. I'm definately going with a black frame. Oh, and it's gonna be around $500, but I feel it's important to protect this piece for the next collector I'm preserving it for (He or she will be prying it out of my dead hands, but I'd like it to be in good shape when they do).
Greg, you used suade on that Red Sox pennant correct? Any other mounting suggestions?
Side note: My wife is being totally cool about this whole thing!
