I have quite a few pieces that I have had professionally framed with Cherry wood, archive UV glass and felt acid free matting. Usually $200-$300 depending on size.
The pictures of the items do not do them justice. Some have stickers on the actual item and others don't. I've shown them from time to time. If I ever sold them, which I won't (permanent home office decor), I certainly wouldn't take the item out of the frame. Someone would have to buy them as is. Ripping them out of "these" frames would be counter productive. Here's a couple examples...
The fact that JSA & or PSA authenticate "through the frame" and then tag the frame is moronic.
While your Mantle looks good to me, there is ALWAYS a chance that any photo is a copy. If PSA & JSA can tell this through the frame, which I don't think they can, more power to them. I can hardly tell with a 20X magnifying glass directly on the photo.
